WHAT LIE! Hut What is tliere now ? [to J\ < .< *< > .January ll?, I'.'O.'J, President Itoose- ' velt and King Kd ward of Kngland, ex- | changed menages of congratulation | and respect, by the Marconi system of wireless telegraphy. This gave sanc tion to another great scieutiiic achieve- ; meni at a demonstrated success. Doubtless many an ambitious boy and mari thought, on reading these messages, "But whnt is t?tere now foi human ingenuity to accompli "I . What continents are there y< t ?<. dis ?.over. What great exploit in the field uf invi ution are there t" ir?sj ;n either genius ur pcrsi vcratic? "More than auy of us have dreamed of," might be the response. Air navigation at oneil occurs i<> thc wind as something grc?>t not yet ac- j coutplishcd. Kui that is not thc most important line of thought and investi gation. Probably thc groat discoverers of thc coming century will be chiefly in ihc linc of economy; in the held of learning how to utilize thc material, thc forces and agencies of which wc already know something; and that, indeed, is all that Signor Marconi accomplished in his great discovery. There yet remain several given problems for solution, and fame will crown the man or boy who shall solve any of them: yes, and wealth awaits him, too. Is it not probable that somebody will yet discover how thc rain may be made to fall upon the parched earth at tho will of mau? Is it not probable that tho sun's heat will be conserved-controlled, in such a practical way as to furnish a praotieal answer to the tjuestion, "How shall fuel be provided for the use of man, when tho supply of coal and of timber shall have become so far exhausted as to leave a menace to mankind?" One or two illustrations of what has been accomplished within half a cen tury or so, may servo to encourage effort. For, while our oagerocBS to convert raw material into manufactur ed products and inorcase our wealth and the national wealth is commenda ble, we should realize more than we do the extravagance, the waste, of which we are daily and hourly guilty because of ignorance We should di reot our attention more to the prob lem of saving; for what wo now thoughtlessly waste will bo astonish ing to the people of the next century. It will seem to them well-nigh crimi nal. Less than half a century since, cot ton seed was more of a nuisance than a thing of value, leaving out of thc reckoning thc small per cent, of that produced which was needed for plant ing. One of the serious questions for planters was, "What shall we do to get rid of this nuisance in the most ; expeditious and effective way?" True, the cattle ate some of it, but their owners did not place a high value upon it as food for thom. They therefore throw it out into waste places by score tons, and they burn ed it by tho million dollars' worth every season. As a writer has foroibly and tersely put it, "Cotton seed was garbage in 18?0, a fertilizer in 1870, oattle food in 1S80, and a table food and many things elso in 1890." Now this seed yields a revenue ol many, many milions of dollars ever} year. The very hulls are regarded at one of tho most excellent of foods foi oattle, and they are shipped far and near, in bales, for that purpose, a toe of seed yielding about one thousand pounds of the hulls. Then the little fibers that ding to the seeds-tho "linters," as they are called commercially-are removed and utilized for filling mattresses, pillows, etc., making felt hats and similar pro ducts of labor. A ton of seed yields from twenty to thirty pounds of these linters. After the meats cf the seeds h&vc been pressed and the very valuable oil thoroughly extraoted, the cake which is left is one of the most valua ble products of tho seed-a by-pro duct of its utilization. Fed in thal form or ground into meal, it is thc most valuable for cattle food of any part of the seed by-produots. A ton of seed yields about seven hundred and twenty-five pounds of this fine food. It is worth about twenty-seven dollars per ton. The oily part of the seeds, whioh has been extraoted as thoroughly as possible before the cake is thrown aside, is ns?d ' for soap-making, for . cooking, in the form of lard oom / pounds, for various valuable oils, in cluding a tsblo oil which none but experts can tell from hir?h-grade olive oil. It has been discovered that the pith of cornstalks can be converted into one of the moat valuable of agenoiea JOT tho protection of forte, veeselc S BEFORE l or I turnan ingenuity 1 M J >1 isl 1. ole., ngaiust tin- shock of collisions and tho destructive force "f projec tiles.

Corn oil, as a by-product ..! -larch factories, breweries, etc., is already produced to the extent of almnt six teen thousand dollar- worth daily iu the United State- alone. And this is but the merest infant, compared with thu industry destined to urise from thc discovery. This oil i> valuable for illuminating purposes, for wool-dressing, for lubri cating machinery, for making soap, in the manufacture of rubber goods, fur mixing paints, and many other things. And all of this is a clear saving, at a clear profit of millions of dollars an nually, wrested from the clutches of pure waste, by observation, patience and scientific knowledge. Every boy has the opportunity right at hand for becoming a great benefactor of his race, by teaching it how to save and usc something that it is now recklessly wasting. Continents to discover? Yes, "continents of undiscovered thought," continents ol' yet undream ed knowledge, continents of great op portunity, beckon every boy and youth and man to awake, go forth and dis I cover them.-Boys' World. Thc Harking Dog. The Boston Transcript tells the story of a minister who had occasion very frequently to travel a certain road. At a house on that road lived a big bull dog, which always came out and attacked him viciously. The minis ter stood for a long while, until ti nally as he drove past one winter day in a low sleigh, a means of correcting the dog by moral suasion occuried to him. Ile stopped hi? horse in thc road be fore tho house. The dog rushed out madly, barking and threatening to jump into thc sleigh. Tho minister sat in his sleigh and paid no attention. The dog retired and r. third time rush ed out. to tho attack, but did not touch thc man. Then he returned to tho doorstep and lay down, apparent ly crestfallen and disgusted with such a man; and, as he paid no further at tention, thc minister drove off. Af ter this thc minister drove many times past thc house, but thc dog paid no attention to iii tn and never soc tn cd to &cc him at all. Ile was cured. From this wc may learn a good lesson. lu every community there are people iust like thc dog. H Ki HT Ul. KT. ls ANDERSON. Evan?

Wherever he goes Mr. Bell always collects a budget of rood stories and he ia a master of the art of telling them. Here is one of the new ones which he brought from the South and which has amused the district attor ney and his friends greatly: An old white headed negro named Moses was one day walking alony the road when he saw young,Sam sitting on the fence, grumbling to himself and looking very sullen.

Wheu Mars' Fairfax cusses yuh, you cuss him back." A few days later old Moses came along the road once more and saw young Sam sitting on the fence again, this time with his face all disfigured as if he had becu in a tight and bruiscc up generally.

Chronic Sores Bating Ulcers i?tri??: Nothing is a source of so much trouble as an old sore or ulcer, par ticularly when located upon the lower extremities where the circulation is weak and sluggish. A gangrenous eating ulcer upon the leg is a frightful sight, and as the poison burrows deeper and deeper into the tissues beneath and the sore continues to spread, one can almost see tho ilesh melting away and feel the strength going out with the sick ening discharges. Great running sores and deep offensive ulcers often develop from a simple boil, swollen gland, bruise or pimple, and are a threatening danger always, because while aH such sores are not can cerous, a great many are, and this should make you suspicious of all chronic, slow-healing ulcers and sores, particularly if cancer runs in your family.
