PREPARE MEAT FOR SHIPMENT
South American Frlgorificos Will Soon
Be Turning Out an Immense
Supply of Food.
A frlgorlftco Is a freezing plant In
South America. It 1b a plant that
freezes fat cattlo or sheep or lambs
and aenda them in refrigerated ships
northward to Mu rope. Perhaps later
they will send them to the United
States. ?
On tho Isfand of Tierra del Fuego,
far south to tho jumping oJT place,
sheep get very fat on the good grass.
Incredible as it may seem, a short
time ago fine fat sheep were boiled
down for their tallow. Now a mod
ern frigorifico is prepared to kill them
and send them north of the equator.
There is another of these newly erect
ed frigoritlco8 at Rio Gallegos, an
other a little way up the coast at San
Julian and other new ones are at
Bahla Blanca.
These frlgorificos make possible tho
directing of a great stream of good
lamb and mature mutton northward,
mid we here may expect to see it
come, sooner or later. Cattle are not
I killed at these southern frlgorificos,
but farther north, near Iiuenos Aires
and in Uruguay are great establish
ments that kill chiefly cattle. To facili
tate the getting of sheep to the
I frigoriflcos the government is build
ing the Patagonia state railways, lead
ing to the interior. ? Breeders' Gazette.
Ownership of Land Accretion.
The title of an owner of land to any
! accretions to the land was the ques
; tion presented to the supreme court
of appeals of Virginia in ftggborn vs.
' Smith, in which interesting decisions
on the point involved are cited. In the
Virginia case the plaintiff's husband
for a consideration permitted a rail
road company to deposit rock and
earth on land owned by him during
double-tracking work, under contract
that all such material not removed be
fore the work was completed should
remain permanently. The owner exe
cuted a deed of trust of the land with
; out Berving the material so deposited,
; but on the day the property was sold
under foreclosure of the trust deed
he attempted to convey the material
i as personalty to the complainant. The
! court found that the complainant had
made no claim to the property until
Jive years after its deposit, when it
was overgrown with vegetation, and
? held that "the material was realty and
j not personal property, and passed to
the purchaser on foreclosure of the
trust deed."
Honor Man Struck by Lightning.
To be struck by lightning is still a
most lucky thing for the Gfreek peas
; ant ? if ho Is not killed. Such a man,
says J. C. Lawson, "may indulge a
taste for idleness for the rest of hiB
life ? his neighbors will support him ?
and enjoy at the same time the rep
utation of being something more than
human." This is an inheritance from
ancient days. Artemidorus, an au
thority on occult matters who flourish
ed in the time of Marcus Aurelius,
commented on the fact that while a
place was struck by lightning had an
altar erected upon it, and was thence
forth both honored and avoided, "no
one who has been struck by light
ning is excluded from citizenship; in
deed, such a one is honored even as
a god." The election of Quintus Ju
? lius Eburnus to the consulship in 116
1 B. C. is attributed to his having been
favored thus by the gods.
_ong-Lived Mines and Profit#.
Are long-lived mines more profitable
than short lived ones? The average
! Investor would consider this a foolish
question, assuming naturally that the
longer a mine lasts the greater the ac
cumulated profits.
Just about the contrary is the case.
The figures supplied by the mines de
partment of Johannesburg where the
regularity of deposits on the Rand
? makes it possible to guage the lives of
mines with accuracy, should convince
tiie skeptic that owing to compound In

value of a mine to the extent common*

pearl of Arknmias of thu highest class

The first, or truo, peurls are of a
definite shape, and regular form,

MERELY A POPULAR BELIEF
Scholars Question Whether the Apple
Was the "Forbidden Fruit" In the
Garden of Eden.
Why and how it has happened that
the apple has been spoken of as the
fruit that was forbidden in the Gar
den of Eden 1r one of the great puz
zles of Biblical scholars. The fact is
that in Genesis 3, where the Incident
of the eating of this fruit of the "Tree
of Knowledge of Good and Evil" is
mentioned, no name whatever is given
to the fruit. All that is said Is: "And
when the woman saw that the tree
was good for food, and that it was
pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be
desired to make one wise, she took of
the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave
also unto her husband with her; and
he did eat" (verse 6).
In fact, scholars doubt very serious
ly whether it was the apple at all.
They suggest that all evidence points
to it having been the quince, fragrance
of which was held in the highest es
teem by the Orientals. Another point
in favor of the quince is that it is the
fruit which was sacred to Venus, the
goddess of live, and in a great many
of the ancient writings the quince is
very frequently mentioned in this man
ner. In Babylonia Ishtar took the
place of Venus in the Roman mythol
ogy, and it should bo remembered
that the story of the croation origina
ted with the Babylonians. All evi
dence seems to point away from the
apple having been the "Forbidden
Fruit," and towards the quince as hav
ing been that fruit of the "Tree of
Knowledge of Good and Evil."
Wordsworth on Real Estate.
There is an interesting story of
Wordsworth, who went to call on Miss
Harriet Martineau at Ambleside, in
the house which she had built and laid
out, writes A. C. Benson in the Cen
tury Magazine. There was a gathering
of neighbors present, and Wordsworth
stood for a long time at the window
contemplating the beautiful landscape
outside. Then he turned to the party
and said:
"Miss Martineau, I congratulate you
on your beautiful little domain. The
views are wonderful, and it will turn
out to be the wisest thing you ever did
in your life.*
lie paused for ji moment, and the
guests expected some comment on the
upjifting effects of communion with
nature, but Wordsworth, with a fine
gesture, continued:
"Your property will certainly bo
trebled in value within the next ten
years!"
Living in Poise.
To improve yourself, the first essen
tial is to prevent all waste of energy
by living in poise. The second essen
tial is to use your imagination In plc
'turing those things that you want to
accomplish now. And the most prac
tical use that can be made of the im
agination is to picture your talents and
faculties larger, greater and more
perfect. To imagine in mind a larger
and more perfect talent is to give the
creativo forces in mind a better mod
el; and as these forces always create
after tho fashion of the latest model,
they will consequently create the lar
ger and the more perfect talent. ? Lar

Different Thing Entirely.
This storj^ is being told on a Kan
sas lawyer. The lawyer was arghing
a case before a judge and, desiring to
illustrate by supposing a case, he did
so, as follows: "We will suppose,
your honor," he said, "that your hon
or were to steal a horse." ? "No! No!
No!" interrupted the judge, "not at
all, not at all, sir. 'Tain't a suppos
-able case, sir." "Very well, begging
your honor's pardon," said the eager
lawyer with more zeal than prudence,
"very well, then; supposing that I
should steal a horse." ? "Ah, yes, yes,"
said the Judge, "that Is a different
thing, very different, Mr. X. Pro
ceed, sir."
