IT WAS HIS PROUDEST DAY
; Farmer Giles' Visit to His Sailor Son
Was Great Event in His
Life.
The proudest day in old Farmer
j Giles' life had dawned. Dressed in
! hlB Sunday best, he took the train to
Portsmouth to visit his sailor son.
And, although the train Journey
! was his first, its exolteinents paled
1 before the visions of the huge float*
: Ing sailors' homes he saw in tl\e har
' bor.
Timidly he approached the side of
the gigautic waterway leviathan
r_wMcli 4iad~ his son- on board;' atifl~,aB
he took hold of the hanging ropes to
assist himself on deck, he was more
i than _ surprised to hear a dreadful
I clanging of bell*.
This clamor was merely the sound
i ing of eight bells to denote the time
' of day. but old Farmer Giles, seeing
! an officer in the distance, waddled
, up and accosted him. remarking apol
ogetically:
| "Good day. sir! I've come to see
my son Jack; but, 'pon my soul, sir,
I didn't mean to ring so loud!" ?
Answers.
Lay of the Land.
The maximum difference in eleva
tion of iund in the United States is
14,777 feet, according to government
geologists. Mt. Whitney, the highest
point, is 14,501 feet above sea level,'
and u point in Death valley is 276
i feet below sea level. These two points
! which are both in California, are lees
i than ninety miles apart. This differ
ence is small, however, as compared
with the figures for Asia. Mt. Everest
rises 29,002 feet above sea level,
whereas the shores of the Dead sea
are 1,290 feet below sea level, a total
difference in land heights of 30,292
feet. The greatest ocean depth yet
found is 32,088 feet, at a point about
forty miles north of the Island of Min
danao, In the Philippine islands. The
ocean bottom, at this point. iB there
more more than eleven and a half
miles below the summit of Mt. Ev
erest. The difference in the land
heights in Europe is about 15,868
feet.
Sahara as a Factory Center.
No more barren tract of land could
be Imagined than the Sahara desert
of Africa, and yet if the prophesies' of
our scientists are fulfilled it may be
found to blossom like a rose at a very
early date. It is calculated that the
Sahara receives an amount .of solar
heat every day equivalent to that pro
duced by 6,000.000,000 tons of coal,
and it Is contended that, if rome eco
nomical method can be found to utilize
this lost solar energy this desert may
become the factory site of the world
of the future. In these factories there !
would be no energy-creating rnachin- |
ory as we know it, no chimneys but j
glass chambers, no furnaces but re
flectors, all designed to receive and
transmit for commercial purposes the
daily Rift of the sun. as stored away In
the sand.
Perfectly Clear.
"1 wonder why so many trains are
late." said young Mrs. Torklns as she
watched the man chalk the figures on
the blackboard.
"Well," replied her husband, "for
one thing traffic is much heavier ihan

"Of course! And the heavier a load
is, the harder work a locomotive has
to pull it." ? Washington Star.

The meat of yarded poultry is al
