--BY Y. 21.
"Well do 1 recollect tho time," said
my grandma to me, one cold winter
! oveuing.as we were seated by the bright
hickory fire whose ruddy flames leaped
cheerily up tho wide-mouthed chimney,
shedding a cheerful light upon the
old-fashioned furniture of my grand
mother's room, and casting flickering
MhudowM upon tho ceiling, "when Crazy
Nell was young and fair as any girl in
all Westlich!. Yes, young and beauti
ful- -you would hardly believe it now,
would you, ohlld? But, deary me,
time aud sorrow make sad changes!"
I And my grandmother passed her band
I slowly over her forehead, and absently
let fall her knitting, and I know by tho
kindling of her faded oye that her
thoughts wero wandering baek to that
East whon her own youth was fair and
right.
It was snowing fast without?a wild
jf storm?and tho driving wind sifted tho
white flakes against the window panes,
Into ovory orovlco of tho shinged,
gabled roof -and sometimes a sudden
gust whirled d'jwn tho chimney and
sont a Hhowor of sparks out ull over tho
nicely swept hearth.
I had come dowu to grandma's to
spend my short wintor vacation, with
my Bevontoon-yoar-old head lillcd with
boarding school romance; aud the pros
pect of a story, wboro tho heroine
promised to bo "young and beautiful,"
seemed very delightful. Crazy Nell
seomed at onco invested with an in
terest which, uu hour before, I bad not
thought It possible tho poor village
wandoror could have inspired. Al
ready imagination had convortsd her
Knitted hair, wild oyes and bent iiguro
Into a vision of youth?her faded gown
and crooked bonnet, which btforel bad
regarded as antiquities worthy of a
museum, into relics of better days and
fallen fortune.
"Oh, toll me tho story, grandma!" I
exclaimed eagorly, drawing my chair
nearer her own, and disturbing ber
favorite tabby cat at hur foot, who
purred a decided nogativo to such ad
vance.-.. "What! Did you know her?
Crazy Nell ??and is that the roason
you are so kind to hor, and always sot
apart food for her ? For I had noticed
over since I had been at grandma's, a
nicely tilled basket sot out at dusk on
the platform of tho old well at tho
back door, which the strange woman
oame and took away, creeping back in
the wintor morning's twilight to re
fdace tho basket whore she had found
t. And grandma had told mo in an
swer to my querios regarding her, that
she had never crossed any threshold,
save he* own tumble-down but by tho
river's side, for many years.
"Tell mo the story?do, grandma ?"
"Well, Isabel, child,"commenced my
grandma, "it is near to thirty years
now since Crazy Nell lirst came to our
town. Then the boys would follow her
through the streets, calling after her
and vexing her, for such a straggler
was before unknown in our villugo. 1
was walking over from the store ono
day when 1 first saw her. A crowd of
boys were standing by tho wall whore
she had sat down to rest. I stopped
and looked at her too, for there was a
familiar look in her face; but it was a
long time before I could bring myself
to boliove tho poor creaturo was ono
whom 1 known in my youthful days?
Nolly Simpson, tho beauty of .our vil
lage. And when I had looked at an
old faded miniaturo which she held,
gazing steadily on it, whilo tho boys
stood by iu wonder, then I remembered
something which 1 had heard sicco I
was married and left home?that Nelly
Simpson bad gone crazy and been shut
up in a mad-house. Tho picture 6he
held iu her hand I remembered too. It
was the faco of Edward Carey, a hand
some young man who bad come to our
village ono wintor to keep sieging
_school In tbo old ..ehmil houso at the
Point.
"Eward Carey bad not boon in town
a week before ho was a favorite with
every ono?and, singing-sohool nights
tho old school houso was crowded with
young folks from far and near, the
country rouud. Right plousant it was,
child, on moonlight nights to hear the
sloigh-bolls jingling, and by-and-hy the
good old-fashioned tunoa ringing out
from tho old school houso.
"At lirst tho now singing-school
master seemed shy and bashful?though
all along there was a wicked, hidden
look about him which 1 novor liked,
and your grandfather, dear, who then
first began seeing mo home, used tosay
that Edward Cary was a 'good Binger,'
byt I could never get him to say any
thing better in his favor. I declare,
child, it makes me young again to think
of it!" And my grandmother's checks
kindled with tho crimson flush of
youth.
"Well, all tho wintor Edward Caroy<
went round with Nelly Simpson?and
ono evening she camo to a party with
his picturo around hor neck?tbo same
which I saw hor looking at that day,
sitting by tho wall. Well, by-and-by
thoy wero married by old Parson Ab
bott, and Carey took Nolly off to a dis
tant olty. whero he said his father and
mother lived, and whoro sho should
have a beautiful homo of hor own.
"About that time your grandfathor
and I wero married, dear, and moved
over to Greenwood, whoro wo have
lived togother for so many years.
About a year after, the strangost utory
came out about Caroy. Somebody read
It in a paper, t im', some poople had
come from tbo South and arrestod him
for bigamy! Nobody could boliove it
till ono day poor Nolly came back with
her baby in hor arms, pale and broken
hearted. Her mother had died that
year, and Farmer Simpson was a
ohanged man, and his health was fail
ing fast, when Nelly camo home a poor,
betrayed woman. She went about tho
houco pale and melancholy, shunning
the n< ighbors who camo in to soe hor,
and a smilo was never soon upon hor
face. The doctors said sho was in a
hopoless state of despair?and days and
weeks went by yet sbe was no bottor.
"Then tho baby, a little wan eroa
turo who lay and moaned all day long,
diod. Then poor Noll wontorar.y?the
blow was too much for her failing mind,
and Dr. Williams said it would bo no
cessary to send her over to the asylum.
. Five years passed before [ again heard
from Noll, when somobody from West
field told mo that she bad come horn"
to liv > with hor old fathor; that th.
doctors said hor mind wasgonoforover,
but as she was harmless it was cruet
to keep her sh ;it. up there.
"I heard no more until I read Farmer
Simpson's death in tho country news
paper?and a few months after saw
Crazy Noll ?lttlng there by the road
side. I took her by the hand, and
said:
"'Nelly, don't you remember mo?
You are tired after your long walk?
won't you go home with mo?'
"Sho looked up with a strango look
in her black eyos, and smiled In a way
that made my heart ache, and said,
aa,*'Goaway! Goawayl I will not go
in to tho ball tonight?Edward is not
hero to go with mo?they have carried
him off tOfPrison! They have got my
bacy, too. i'l'hey killed It! This is aft

iior to go home with
tO Jo
Simpson left enough to maintain her.
They hired a woman to take care of
her at the old farm house, but she
slipped away and came again over here.
They carried her back, but it wus of
no use, she came here again, when
thoy concluded to let her romain, as
she was harmless.
"They litted her up a few rooms,
where sho has over since lived her
lonely life?and sho has never crossed
a threshold or entorod any door-yard
but mine all these long years. I always
sot out her basket of food, which she
comes and takes, as you saw her last
night. Poor Nell! Hers has been a
hard lot, but sho is getting old now,
and will soon go to tho land where Bor
rows never como, and 'the weary aro
at rest.' Well, fathor," looking up, as
my grandfathor entered the door, lean
ing on his cane, "I have been telling
Isabel about poor Nolly Simpson."
"But whatbocamoof Nelly's husband
Edward Caroy?" 1 asked. "What
did thoy do with him?"
"Well, ho was sontonced to Stato's
pi i in for ten years," answered my
grandfather; "out his friends wore rieh
aud poworful, some think they bribed
the jailor and other authorities, for ono
day his coll was empty aud tho bird
bad llown. I suppose thoy got him off
to foreign paits, as he was never hoard
from since that day. Phew, how tho
snow blowel I hopo old Nell will keep
close till this storm's over, or sho'll be
likely to suffer. I'll go ovor thero in
tho morning, mother, and bco if all's
comfortable. 'Tain't right for her to
bo loft tboro alono to herself, to my
mind."
It must have been an hour later, and
grandma's knitting-needles and tbo
utorm without had lulled mo into a
quiot doze, when suddenly the stamp
ing of foot was h ard on the doorstep,
and I awoko to behold grandpa hasten
ing to tho door with a candlo, aud Mr.
Saunders and John Armstrong, two of
tbo neighbors, lifting a form ail covor

"I b'lievo, Neighbor Uutlcdgo, we've
got Crazy Nol' hero stark and stiff!
Stumbled over hor on tho 'turnpike,
right in tho road, and tho snow drift

stuck still, and John and I got out to
see what the matter was, for it's so
d??rk you can't sea your hand before ye

Grund ma and I ran to tho closet for
rostorativoc?, while thoy brought poor
Noll to tho tire.
'Better go aftor Dr. Kittredgo,
neighbor," said my grandfathor, look
ing into old Noll's white face, from
which grundma had just put away the
tangled gray hair all dripping with
melting snow. '
Hut tbo message was in vain. All
our rubbing and blankets, and hot
water which grandma brought, could
not bring poor Nell back to lite. And
whon old Dr. Kittredgo came, bo only
shook his gray head, and Bald, solemn
ly :
"It is all ovor! Poor Nell?she's got

Then tho neighbors came in and the
sad event of the evening was talked

LETTING land nc IDLi:.
An Experienced Furnier Gives Good
KeaHona lor Occupying Land All Mio
Time With GrowiugCrops.
Country Gentleman. ?
Farmers aro boginnlng tosoo the ad
vantago of occupying their grain Holds
with somo growing crop after the grain
is harvested. Land in a state of nature
is occupied tho season through. Tboro
is no " rest, " as is hold necessary by
some, with cultivated soil, for the rea
son that no effort Is required /or growth.
Practice has demonstrated this long
ago, where laud has been tilled annual
ly for generations,bearing as good crops
now us at liret, and bettor where tho
land has been properly takeu ea.-o of.
Tho practice of keeping tho ground un
occupied tho latter part of the season
from tho time the grain crop is remov
ed, has nothing at all to recommend it,
and much to oppose. Tho land is not
only idle, but thore is a chance for
weeds and coarso grasses to grow and
ripen .their seeds, especially in moist
woather, which sometimes occurs initho
latter part of tho season. This, iu a
largo proportion of land, is a groat
source of evil, as our Holds abundantly
attest. To havo tho ground exposed
during tho boat and droutn of August
aud Soptombo \ is not likely to bouelit
it. Ou tii.1 >thcr bund, to cultivate and
harrow it is a benefit, no doubt more
than paying for tho trilling expense of
tho work, which is soon accomplished.
If tho plow is needed on account of
grass and weed*, ail the greater will
bo tho benefit.
Immediatuly aftor tho ground is
worked whon yet moist, bow it to some
crop so as to got it star tod in caso of
drouth. During tho rest of tho season
the growth will bo drawing fertility
from tbo atmosphere, and shading the
ground no doubt furthers fertility,
f his crop turned down in tbo fall ratn
er lightly, will afford an excollontseod
bod in ttie spring, with tbo certainty
of an Increased yiold in tho crop, and
the land will bo cleaner am) in bettor
conditio'!. This practice continued
yearly will bo a constant benefit, re
quiring less manure and tho vegotablo
mineral thus uddud will further favor
fertility by retention and chemical ef
fect upon tbo mineral matter of tho
soil. Clay soil will al*o bo less tenaci
ous ami hard. The effect Is somowbat
like yearly turning down sod, with the
advantage of more speedy decomposi
tion, ami bonollt to the crop thati fol
lows. /
Tho advantage here over green ma
nuring proper is that it dooB not inter
fere with ttie regular cropping of the
season. The earlier orops, like wheat
and rye, being removed, u largo mass
oL_vo|.jotablo material may bo grown
(uu\ ttiWoed down in time'for tho fall
aowlngTof winter grain. For this pur
pose thyre is p 'lably nothing bettor
than tftio pea, which will readily rot
and allf id pabulum for a good g'rowth
of the grain by winter, the ground be
ing su^i don-ly compact by spring for
this fain, ??specially in clay t>o\\a.
hola
I have known Btubblo ground bearing
course grass and weeds turned down
with success for wheat, and this with
i out manure, the soli not very rich, and
for years cropped and reduced.
The point of importance to be always
kept iu view is the amount of vegetable
matter in the soil. Jn old worn out
land it is always more or less wanting,
and here it has tho greatest effect, und
a comparatively small amount doing
much to increase tbo growth. I have
seen this done in not a few cases, and it
has always been satiufactory. live and
peas are the plants mostly used, and
millet, where the ground is not poor, is
recommended. Any quick growing
rich plant will do. With rye and peas
no mistake ean be made, as they are of
quick growth and rloh In fertilizing
material. The pea is beBt adapted to
summer growth, to follow after wheat
or rye. As it is a faster grower a larger
amount of matorial is Boeured to be
turned down in the fall or spring. An
other thing with this grain is of ?pcol
al value; it is adapted to poor or run
down Boil; with the aid of plaster
which, where it has its full effect, more
than doubles the growth, and hence
should always be used for thlB purpose.
In such casoB nothing approaches it for
fertilizing land cheaply in a short time,
and no time is better than after the
grain orop, to lill tho idle gay. I
Whoro tho time of growth is shorter,
as after late crops, rye is tho plant,
growing on till winter, and early and
rapidly in the spring, affording a rich
and abundant mass of matter to turn
down on land not too muoh impover
ished, otherwise manure must be UBed,
aud it is a payiug operation where the
time will allow of its application; the
manure instead of being frittered away,
is rotained iu the soil, it should bo the
study of the farmer how best be may
till up this gap of the season?a great
advantage long nogleoted. Much can
bo done, and in various ways, and it
should be made a rogular work on the
farm. There is a wide range of treat
ment, from simple harrowing the laud
und sowing tho seed, as on sandy soil, to
more elaborate working and manuring
which clay requires. For experiment
take light soil, harrow well, weighting
tho harrow if necessary; sow peas, us
ing gypsum for manure. This is soon
doue with little cost. Omit tbo expe
riment on part of tho held so as to see
the differouco in tho effect if any. Lot

Pres. Jos. L. Koitt submitted a report
for the past year, showing an increase
of interest in the Alliance The an

President Koitt was elected delegate
to tho National Allianco.
Too committo on cotton-ties mado
its report, which was unanimously
adopted and is as follows:
Whereas, tho manufacturers and
wholesale dealers in cottou-ties iiavo
advanced prices of ties about 95 per
cent, ovor last season's whilo tbo
market price of steel only justifies
an advance of ten per cunt., thus
furnishing us with another ovidonco
that this is a day of trusts an,d com
bines against all producers: and where
as suitable wiro can bo bad at a cost of
12 cents per bale against 28 cents a
bale fo.- ties, thus effecting a saving of
IU cents per balo on the crop, which
amounts to a saving of $128,000 on ono
year's crop, therefore bo it
Resolved, That we ask all Alliance
men and farmers interested in the
baling of cotton in this State and the
Cotton States to co-operate with us in
breaking down this now formed trust
by placing their orders at once for wire
to be used Instead of tics iu baling tho
present crop of cotton.
And your committee further recom
mend that our State business agent bo
requested to at once obtain all infor
mation as to tho supply and cost of
using this wire as a substitute for iron
ties and report to all sub-alliance;-, rid

tinue to bear and they mado a contract
with Mr. J. T. Gantt, of Spartanburg,
a practical printer, beginning March
1, 18D(i, to print the paper for $50 per

that it was doing a nourishing business.
It was decided that the next meeting
of tho State Allianco be held In Colum

Her cheeks their rosy glow ;
Her hair has lost its tints of gold,
His voice no loyous thrill;
And yet, though feeble, gray, and old,
They're faithful lovers still.

Oft did the daisies blow,
And oft across the trackless sea
Did swal.'ows come and go.
Oft were the forest branches bare,
And oft in scold arrayed.
Oft did the lilies scent the air,

A lover's touder tale.

As well as days of May.
But, firm and truo, through weal and woo
Through change of time and scono,
Through winter's gloom, through sum

Their faith and love have been.

Serenely down llfo's tdll,
In hopes one grave in church-yard

IMPORTANT TO ALL VOTKRS.
The Registration Rooks are to bo
Opened Three Days in October?
One Week in August aud Septem
ber.
It has been thought all along that
there would bo only two more occa
sions upon which tho registration books
could bo oponcd for tho registration of
voters in this State?tho first Mondays
respectively In August and September,
whon thoy are kopt open for one week.
Tho law has boon, carefully examined
in regard to tho matter, and below is
givon u statement from tho assistant
attorney general which shows that tho
law allows several more days than has
boon supposed, and that tho books are
not opened on the days indicated the
whole registration might bo invalid.
Horo is Assistant Attorney General
Townsond's statement: ? i
*' Tho quostlon is asked by one of tho
boards of registration whothor tho
books of registration shall be opened
in tbo month of October. On Novem
ber 3 the general election will be bold,
and the registration law requires the
books to be closed 30 days before the
election. Tue Srst Monday in Ootobor
will be the Iiftil day of tho month, and
there will not be 30 days between that
aud the general election.
" The constitution provides : 1 For
tho first registration to provided for
under this constitution the books shall
bo kopt open for at least six consecu
tive weeks, and thereafter from time
to time at leastono weok in euch month
up to 30 days next preceding tho first
election to bo held under this consti
tution.'
"Section 7 of tho registration act
provides : ' Tbo registration books
shall bo opened in each county on the
first Monday:dn April, 1890, and kept
opon for six consecutive weeks from
that time at tho court house. They
shall bo opened also at tho court houso
on the first Mondays in June, July,
August and September, 18'Jli, and kept
open continuously for ono week in each
of said months, and in the month of
October, in the same year, up to 30
days next preceding tho election, and
tho same shall bo closed before the

"it is a mandatory provision of the

TlilC FAR MIC RS WILL WIN.
The Cot (on Trust Will be Fought to
a Finish.
The farmers of South Carolina will
! never submit to tho extortions of the
j cotton tie trust if there is any way to
i make a winning light against it. The
! Farmers' Alliance of this State has
! taken the initiative in fighting that
trust, and it will bo backed up by
; every farmer of the State, whothor an
Allianoeman or not, and the moral
support of all tho citizens, without re
spect to their avocations. Col. D. P.
Duncan, manager of tho State Ex
change, was entrusted by tbo Alliance
I with management o! this fight and he
, i? pushing it for all it Is worth. Col.
: Duncan has recoived letters from a
; number of citizons In various sections
I of the State tolling him to go ahead
with tho war and promising to back
him to tho last ditch. One of his COr
j respondents, agontlomau who manages
i one of tbo biggest merchandise pfnres
i in the up co >ntry, suggested the u*o of
I cotton ropes as a substitute for 1 he Hat
! iron ties, but Colonel Duncan su.vs this
idea is impracticable as ropes would
I not stand the immense strain that is
i puton the binding of compressed bulcs,
! and, moreover, the insurance com pa*
I nies would object to the uso of rope
and would not Insure cotton bales
i bound with it. Of course tho farmers
I cannot put their cotton up in such
'. shape that the insurance companies
j would not write policies upon it.
i Colonel Duncan is enthusiastic over
I t.ho idoa to substitute wire tios for tho
i fiat iron ties whoso prlco has boon ad
vanced by the trust. Ho says that it is
his firm conviction that upon trial tho
wire ties will bo hound to bo as good
as, If not bottor than, the Hat iron ties
; hitherto used exclusively. Tho kind
of wire he proposes using requires a
strain of 1,6(10 pounds to break it. Six
such ties around a hale will hold it till
? tho cows come home. There is oom
Elalnt that head.-* of bales frequently
in . i, open. Colonel Duncan suys ?w?,
! wlro tires could be put around the b ..es
longthwlse and that even then tho c ? I
of tho wire ties would be much loss
than that of tho flat iron ties.
He thinks that the wlro ties can bo
j handled more expodiously than tho fiat
I Iron ties. The wire used will bo an
1 nealed. Thus, softened, It oan be
qulekly bent or twisted and yet loses
none of its strength. The wi>-e tieB
will bo furnishod with loops at ono
end, through which tho straight end
oan bo run, and then doubled baok and
twisted so as to hold firmly. This oan
bo dono more quickly he thinks tban
buoklos oan be put upon the fiat tios.
Some of the cotton factors of Charles
ton having expressed doubt as to the
feasibility of using wiro tios, Colonel
Duncan says he expects to oonvince
them by an ocular demonstration. Aa
soon as ho receives some samples of tho
wire tiros, ho wlil hind a bale of cotton
wl?,h ihnm and rbi|f> It
convinced tbat bales bound with wire
ties will be a good delivery.
An agent of one of the largest wire
manufactories in this country was in
the oity yesterday and called on Colonel
Duncan to consult with him about the
use of wire ties. There is no doubt
that an abundant supply can bo ob
tained.
The Hat iron ties cost $1.30 in carload
lots at Columbia and the average cost
to tho farmer* will be about (1.40 for a
bundle of 30. On tho other hand, there
are 250 wlro ties in a bundle and their
cost will hardly oxceed S2.50 and may
be much oheaper. Even at $2.50, it
would cost much loss to bind a balo of
cotton with them than with ilat iron
ties.
An Indian* l< e Cavern.
One of the most remarkable natural
phenomena that have beeu discovered
in recent years bus jnst been reported
in the southwest corner of Brown coun
ty, Ind., near tho villugc of Elkinsvillo.
It is a oavo and is on tho farm of Billy
Moore.
At its entrance, which is completely
overlapped by the trees, cold air iB
plainly perooptible. Tbo opening ap
pears not unlike a mine shaft long dis
used, but tho steep, rocky descent shows
nothing of an artificial construction.
The winding way leads to a oavcrn
which is fully 50 foot below tho surface.
Tins is liko a broad, vaulted corridor,
and is known to the natives as tho Dev
il's chamber. Tho air in this apartment
is near tho freezing point. From this
point quito a number of halls lead off
in a confusing manner, but tho one to
tho ice vault is evident from tho cold
blast which comes from it
Tho descent in this natural corridor is
similar to the rocky declino at the en
trance of tho cave, but not over a dozen
yards within the ico is plainly visible,
and farther on it is thick on all sides,
liko tho crust that is formed on tho
pipes of an ico plant A little farther
on the descent entirely ceases, and hero
tho walls uro frozen hard, liko tho
ground in tho middle of tho winter.
Then the narrow way leads into a mam
moth chamber known as the ico vault.
This extends fully 100 feet. The ice
towers in a miniature mountain. It
stands in a solid mass, extending down
ward to a depth which it would bo folly
to conjecture.?Cincinnati Enquirer.
Baiaed Two Dollar IU1U.
Two dollar bills that have been raised
into fives iure being circulated iu this
part of tho country just now. Tho work
is very clumsily done and would not
pass minute inspection. But in a rush
they can bo worked off for $5 worth of
goods. Tbo notes aro tho silver certifi
cates with tho picture of William Win
dorn in tho centex*. Tho figure 2 in*each
corner has been changed to 5. Tho
words "two silver dollars" by a Stroke
of tho pen and a little acid are made to
road "live silver dollars." Mr. Early,
who has charge of the subtreasury while
his chief is in Chicago, says that there
area good many notes afloat of tbo kind
described. All altered notes are redeem
ablo according to their original value.
Recently a $5 bill which had been
raised to $100 was presented at tho sub
treasury and redeemed for $5. This
note is retained for exhibition. The
work upon it is well done, tho words
"ono hundred dollars," tho figures
"100" and the letter "C" being all
neatly executed. The bill is one of tho
old fashioned national hank notes with
a picturo of the "Landing of Colum
bus" on the back and an Indian sceno
in ono corner of the faco of tho bill.?

rum im- III Tonquin.
Lottors from Hanoi give a very
gloomy account of the state of famino
prevailing throughout the northern dis
tricts of Tonquin. During tho last six
months there baa been scarcely any rico
in tbo populous Lang-Son province, and
tho people have been selling their stock
for any price they could get in order to
procure food. Want has driven the peas
ants to the vergo of desperation, and
bands of lawless men not merely strip
such fields as aro under cultivation, but
attack and plunder shops in the smnll
towns. Notwithstanding all this, many
deaths aro reported daily from absolute
starvation, and worso is expected, as
then; lias been no harvest for two years
in tho northern parts of Tonquin. Boo
Ninh suffered in particular, first from
floods and then from drought. The local
papers are asking why tho French im
thoritios, in face of these calamities,
have not hastened to begin tho project
ed railway, on the embat k.nent of which
alone 30,000 or 40,000 persons might
ho given employment. It. is computed
that Tonquin will need three good years
to recover from the effects of this fam
ine.?London Times.
A Novel Golden Wedding.

sponse to tho many rockets fired by the
sympathetic villagers below. Here tho
veteran olimbers and their companions
passed tho night, and, starting soon after
midnight for the remainder of the as
cent, thoy reached tho summit at 0:30

"Dark Light."
M. Lo Bon, n French exporinienter,
reports that ho has obtained outline

ordinary kerosene lamp. Ho gets tho
best effects by backing tho iron with a
sheet of load, but tho rays do not, like
tho X roys, penetrate black paper. Ho
calls tho radiation which produces tho
