THE FOURTH DIMENSION.
It Is an Unprovable Theory, as It Is
Based Upon the Unknown.
In answer to the following interest
ing question, "1 understand that a
crawling insect ions ,ifs only two dimen-
sions, length and ureadth, all lines be-
ing horizontal to It and that it cannot
conceive of a perpendicular; do I un-
derstand correctly that the fourth di-
mension is to us as the third is to the
insect?" Edgar Lucien Larkin in the
New York American says:
"We do not know the mind of the in-
sect and cannot decide whether the
thtrd.dlmenslon is known to it. And
the fourth dimension is not surely
known to man.
"To be known geometrically a
straight line must be drawn perpen-
dlcularly to three others mutually per-
pendicular—that is. a perpendicular
must be constructed to all three sides
of a cube. But this is impossible to
the geometer.
"Mind as now phasing in man does
not know what anything is. Then it
does not know what space is, although
spade is supposed not to be a thing.
Yet we say space includes all things.
If we know nothing about space we do
not know, therefore, whether it is
curved or not. But the fourth dlanen-
elon le a transcendental concept basal
on the curious theory that space has
curvature, all of Which is- unknown
and not proved."

RHEUMATISM AND
BRIGHT'S DISEASE
Prof. Budlong was Quickly Reliev-
ed of both afflictions by Using
Rheuma.
If yon suffer from any form of Rheu-
matism, remember that Ii aEUMA
goes to work quickly to remove the
cause, not simply to relieve the dia-
treae. Many years' nee has demon-
strated that it goes to the seat of the
disease and expels the poisonous m I
ter through the natural channels—the !
kidneys, bowels, liver and akin.
"For many years I was troubled with i
Rheumatism. also with Bright's Dis-
ease of the Kidneys,. I suffered aw-

lee. After using your truly remark-
able preparation, RUEUMA, I was

COWS THAT WEAR WELL.
One of the many advantages reaped
from systematic cow testing is the
fact that it not only defects cows of
indifferent value (saving dairymen
t be burden of providing for worthless
cows, intte.td of their having got d
cows to support them) but also it hes
frsq'tently discovered valuable cows.
Ivor instance, a farmer at Ennismore,
Ontario, had a small, undersized 'na'
tive' cow which he intended to eel'
not placing much value on her. But.
cow testing showed that she is one of
the best in herd both for milk and fat
production. Don't sacrifice good cows.
This recalls another cow at Ayers
Cliff, Quebec, brought at auction for
$28 00 because no one knew her value.
Indeed she was put, in with three
others as the four poorest in the herd
of the man who was selling out. The
present owner believes in cow testing,
end has refused $100 for her ; she gave
322 pounds of fat in seven months.
The men -who have built up herds
that average 8,000 or 9,000 pounds of
milk per cow are just those men who
know, through having proved it, that
cow testing pays. Your cows may b.•

Thirty per cent. of Canada'r: forest

DINED ON JACKALS.'
But There Was Other Food the Arabs
Simply Would Not Eat.
Describing` the Mohammedans of Al-
geria in his book,"The Barbary Coast,"
Albert' Edwards says be discovered
that with the exception of the obvious
difference in clothing they seemed to
be very much like other men, although
"they do not care for the same things
—at least not for the same reasons."
Of this he had a striking example dur-
ing his first Winter in Algeria:
"I bad asked my host about the
jackals which howled the night
through in the brousse about bis home.
1 was curious to know how much they
resembled the coyotes of our western
plains. A few days later be called me
from my desk with the news that some
of his Arab workmen bad trapped a
jackal. I followed him out into the
patio and found a half dozen natives
squatted about an earthen pot. Two
of them were holding the animal while
another skinned it. A jackal looks like
nothing but a very sick and mangy
dog. I can not imagine anything less
appetizing. I was surprised and rather
nauseated to see that the men were
preparing the beast for cooking.
"'Do the natives eat these things?' I
disgustedly asked my host in French.
"The man wbo seemed to be the
chief cook understood the language of
the conquerors. He looked up surlily.
"'Yes,' he growled, 'but we don't eat
Pig.'
"I thought of our slaughter house
scandals and the doubtful cleanliness
of our food supply and felt very much
like the owner of a glass house wbo
bad thoughtlessly begun to throw
stones."
IVORY CARVING IN CHINA.
Only Six Expert Workers In Forty
Shops In Canton.
There are in Canton about forty
shops which make and sell ivory arti-
cles. Each store is small, consisting
usually of a showroom open to the
street and a back room, where the cut-
ting is done. Members of the store
also usually work in the s'llowroom.
The industry may be divided into two
stages, cutting and carving. Tusks im-
ported from Siam constitute the raw
material. These are first cut with a
saw to the shape capable of being
worked up by carving. The cutting ap-
paratus consists of a wooden block or
vise, a saw and a tub of water. The
ivory is secured firmly by the vise,
moistened with water and cut to the
required shape.
Perfectly Oat pieces of ivory nearly
as thin as paper were shown in evi-
dence of the skill of the cutter. The
cutting finished, the blocks are then
carved into shape with knives of many
different shapes. These have a short
blade and a long handle made of bam-
boo, like a penholder. Other instru
ments noted to be in use by the carv-
•'ers were wire saws and a gimlet work-
ed by a leather twirling apparatus.
The number of expert workers in
Canton is far less than the number of
stores, being only about six in number.
An expert carver seldom works in the
shop which employs him. He generally
works in his own house and can earn
about $30 Canton currency a month.—

Lapping Up the Land.
Aldeburgh, which annually holds Its
feast of sprats, has rim considerable
risk in recent years of providing a
feast for the sprats themselves. Fierce
gales to the eighties and nineties did
very great damage and almost complet-
ed the ruin begun by the sea that swal-
lowed up ancient Dunwich. At one
time the land went a quarter of a
mile farther out to sen, and an old
map preserved In the venerable Moot
hall shows that the church had at
least ten times more land toward the
seat than it has now. The market place
and the cross are among the trifles
which the sen has stolen. while in
1799 eleven houses disappeared. The
sums of the borough were selected

DANISH INTENSIVE FARMING.
U. S. Minister to Denmark Tells Farm-

ply of intelligent aucl trained help-
ers. They must be trained in the
south or the lack of them must be
supplied through immigration. The lat-

the needs of the south, not only rural,

of these two), I express to the best of
my ability what has been done in Den-

Denmark Is almost entirely devoted to
agriculture. It has no mines, no po-
tential water power, no great mills. It

MINISTER TO DENMARK.
brain and brawn of its people applied
to a soil that would be considered by'
the Pennsylvanians as ungrateful and
in a climate which would drive a
Louisianian to madness and suicide.
On the soil and the climate it is only
necessary to say that there are only
sixteen weeks in the year when the
cattle are let out iu 'tile open. In May
they are allowed in the fields, carefully
tethered, so that they may consume
only a fixed quantity of grass or clover.
When this grass or clover is high, in
July, they go back to their stalls to
be fed on grains that the tall glass
may not be wasted by them. In Au-
gust, after the harvest, they go out to
remain in the open, still carefully
tethered for economy, until Oct. 1.
The scientific treatment of the cow
is never relaxed for a moment. It has
become a habit with the large and the
small farmer and his dependents.. The
cow to him is n mIiking machine,
whose power of production is to be ap-
proached exactly as if she were ot
steel or iron. The Danish farmer takes
few chances.
After a consideration of the present
condition of this purely agricultural
country, made largely by comparing
the soil, not very good, end the ell -
mate, for seven months of the yeat
very bad, with the wonderful results, I
asked myself, "What is the main cause
of these results?" and the first part of
the answer was, "The misfortunes of
the Danes and their way of meeting
these misfortunes." Their ways of
meeting there' were by education, co-
operation and the Intelligent assistance
of the government. 1t must be remetn-
bered that the government is a mon-

tional monarchy. and the government

BIRDS ARE FARMERS' FRIENDS
Most Valuable Campaigners Against
Destructive insects.
Last year sltuerlcau Partners lost $1,-
250,000,000 through the depredntions
of insects, according to figures compil-
ed by the department of agriculture.
Much of that loss was suffered In the
south, and reccutly James fioury Rice,
Jr., field secretory for the National A,s-
sociatiuu of Audubon Societies, wbicb
has its general headquarters in New
York, went to Atlanta to establish
southern headquarters.
Birds of all sorts play an important
part in exterminating insect pests, and
because of this the establishment of
southern headquarters for the bird pro-
tective organizatiou is directly related
to the condition of crop destruction.
It Is estimated by nn Atlanta authority
that Georgia alone suffered $40,000,Q00
crop losses as it result of insects last
year, In all of the southern states, es-
pecially the cotton states, wbere the
boll weevil, still makes a heavy toll on
agriculture, the damage wrought by In-
sects is coustantly increasing. This is
being used ns an argument by the Au-
dubou societies and is gaining for them
loyal support among southern agrlcul-
turlsts.
Air, Rice says insectivorous birds in
Georgia consume more than 150.0110
bushels of insects a day. Deprived or
the birds' protection, its fields and or•
chards would become a desert.
The figures given by the agricultural
department do not represent all of the
loss entailed by insects, however
Many more willious of dollars are
spent in the campaigns fighting Ili•
sects, and these expenditures are log-
ically losses caused by insects. Matt
sachusetts is spending $1,000,000 a year
fighting the gypsy and browntall
Moths. It is combating them with
lire, ax, sprayed poison and creosote.
and still many hundreds of fine old
elms in Massachusetts are falling each
year, and other valuable vegetation in
dying because of the Insects' activities
The same kind of eampnign agnlnsl
other insects Is being carried on in a
score of states at heavy expenditure
and with pitifully small results. The
Audubon societies argue that the most
valuable and successful campaigners
against destructive insects are birds.
and the argument is getting more
game protective laws and a heartier
popular support.
PLANT ASSOCIATION.
Especially Beneficial In Case of Legu•
minous Plants.
It has long been known tlnit some
plants are benefited and some are in
Aired by association. Association seem:,
to be especially beneficial in case
of leguminous plants: (peas, clover
etc.) end cereals or grasses. Iteceut
Investigations by the New York Cor•
nett and the New Jersey experiment
stations throw new light on the rea-
sons for this beneficial effect. It nit
pears that the leguminous plants not
only gather nitrogen from the atmos-
phere by means of their root tubercle
bacteria and are therefore able to
make a large growth, but that some of
the nitrogen so gathered Is passed on
to the grain, grass or other nonlegumi•
nous plant associated with it.
The result is a large growth of the
nonlegunle and also a higher content
of protein or nitrogenous material,
which considerably increases its valge
as food for stock. Such benefit has.
been noted from the growth of clover
and timothy, alfalfa and timothy and
oats and peas. Other combinations
have not been studied. The increased
growth of plants in combination .over
that of single crops, together with the
improved composition of the former;
has resulted Ip some cases in an in-
crease of more than 30 per cent in the
production of protein per acre. This
increased value probably extends to
Ole toots and steins left in the soil and
menus much in the production of food
for stock and in soil improvement.
Cutworms Barred Cut.
Some gardens are so infested with
cutworms that many gardeners have
almost given up in despair. Here is a
device that fools
the cutworms.

strong paper about
sixteen inches
long and five
inches wide, cut
slits in one edge
about two inches
deep and form in
n hat shape as in A. Place around the
plant with rite about one-half ineb
deep in the ground and cover as hi 13,
and you will stop the cutworms.

gles to the rest of the paper.—Farm

ers, is very simple. You can take an
apple, the rounder and sounder and
bigger the better, and into it stick
cloves as thickly as possible, with only
the beads showing and formigg a dost:
continuous surface all over. Put it in
a drawer or on a mantelpiece or
whatnot, and time will do the rest.
The clove apple becomes dry and cu-
riously bard, maintains its form per-
fectly and acquires an approximation
of immortality—if carefully protected,
of course from accidents and children.
The latter, if memory serves, were
wont to annoy the grandmothers of
clove apple days by decapitating the
cloves or, if especially mischievous, by
working at one of them till it came out
whole. Either achievement, when dis-
covered, as it alwaps was soon, caused
indignant oratory always and ",wrong
stories" not infrequently.
The exact purpose of the clove ap-
ple, whether it was valued as a curio
or as the source of a pleasant, spicy
odor, the present commentator does
not remember, if be ever knew. In
value, however, it ranked wen up with
the shells brought from foreign strands
by seafaring husbands and sons, and
both were about equally durable.—New
York Times.
A Busy Man.
A customer of a large downtown
tailoring establishment was getting
service out of a suit of clothes he had
not paid for, Statement after state-
ment was sent to the customer and
finally a letter Informing the man that
unless he paid his hill the .matter
would be put in the hands of the com-
pany's attorney. That awakened the
customer. He hastened to the store
and demanded to see the head of
the company. He asserted the only
reason for not paying the bill was that
he bad been so busy with other af-
fairs that he had overlooked his debt
to the tailoring company.
"Why, see here," he emphatieally
told the president of the company,
"just to show you how busy I have
been 1 brought this telegram along. 1
got that telegram day before yester-
day, but 1 haven't had time to open it
yet."—Minneapolis News.
Domitian Swatted Flies.
The original "swat the fly" man was
Domitian, Roman emperor from 81 to
00 A. b. Iiistory records little good of
Domltinn, but it docs say that he an-
ticipated the anti -fly movement by more
than 1,800 years. Maltreating the
buzzing pests was his favorite amuse-
meat, it is recorded, but he was not
animated by a desire to save babies'
lives or avert epidemics.
One biographer says of the old Roman
that "0110 of his favorite pastimes was
hunting and killing flies," and Stleto-
nius, the famous historian, wrote thus
of Domitian: "In the beginning of his
reign he need to spend daily an four
by himself in private, during which
time he did nothing else but catch iliei
slid stick thele through the body With

• SHRINKAGE• OF CATTLE.
Animals Lose 3 to 6 Per Cent In Going
to Market.
After weighing 19,000 cattle in 265
shipments, government experts have
concluded that the normal shrinkage
of cattle in shipment Is from 8 to 6
per cent. There are no exceptions to
this rule, and no one can say before-
hand Just how much cattle will shrink
in going to the market It depends
on the treatment of the cattle, the
length of time they are held without
feed or water, the nature of their feed
before loading, the character of the
trip to market, the distance shipped
and the time of arrival.
The shrinkage of the first twenty-
four hours is greater than for any sub-
sequent twenty-four hours. Steers gen-
erally shriek n little less than cows of
the same weight. Fed cattle and range
cattle shrink about equally. There is
uo way to prevent shrinkage, but care-
ful handling and good reeding will
keep it within reasonable bounds.
One of the chief causes of heavy
shrinkage is a too severe drive to the
loading pen. especially during the trot
weather.

"Perhaps." replied Senator Sorghum,
