THE LITERARY CROP.
Tb« growing disinclination to a
Core Intensive method of cultivating
(he literary crop la evident to all ob-
aervera. The Idea aeema to be spread-
tng that all that la neceaaary to pro-
duce great reaulta la simply to acratch
the surface. Thla unfortunate cir-
cumstance la one of the moat aerloua
featurea of the “literary altuatlon." In
addition to all this, It la generally
known that for aeveral seasons there
has been a general scarcity of seed—
we mean original literary ideas—over
the whole field. It la a peculiarity of
literary crop-culture that this does
not In any way affect the quantity of
the product But it affects the qual-
ity immensely. Bumming up. we
should aay that the “literary situa-
tion” waa extremely discouraging to
conservative Investors. Unfortunate-
ly, the government Issues no special
estimates as to this important crop,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean. It Is
therefore Impossible to give Its pres-
ent condition in the usual percentage
form. It Is certainly lucky that the
other crops of the country will be
large enough to keep the balance of
trade from turning heavily against us
(his year. If we were forced to rely
»n the literary crop for export pur-
poses there Is no telling what might
happen.
There Is no Immediate danger of
the space above the earth being over-
crowded with airships. But apparent-
ly there are those who believe the
time is at hand when “rules of the
road" will be necessary In order to
assure safety to aerial travelers. The
first International congress on aerial
navigation In session Is In Paris, be-
gan deliberations In the foreign office
and was opened by no less a digni-
tary than the French minister of pub-
lic works, who commended the pun
pose of the gathering, which Is to pro-
mote International legislation looking
to the outlining of rights In the air.
No doubt It will be well to have rules
and regulations, so that when men
actually begin to fly for business,
pleasure or war there will be no mia
understanding.
Archimedes, the famous ancient
physicist and geometrician. Is cred-
ited with the declaration that If he
could be given a place to stand he
would move the earth, that statement
illustrating his conception of the pos-
sibilities of the lever principle. But
according to an announcement from
New York an Investigator connected
with the physics department of the
city college has performed a feat ri-
valing If not excelling the Imaginary
one of Archmedes. The New York
Investigator has completed a series
of experiments by which he has as-
certained the actual weight of the
earth, which he places at 7,000,000.-
000,000 tons. Anyone inclined to dis-
pute the correctness of these calcu-
lations has full liberty to figure out
the matter for himself.
That the south Is making extraor-
dinary progress Industrially Is no
secret. And the census shows that
some states down that way are ex-
panding In population at a corre-
sponding rate, Alabama reports a to-
tal of 2,138,093, a gain of 16.9 per
cent., and Florida a total of 751,139,
an Increase of 42,1 per cent., during
the ten years from 1900 to 1910. The
number of Inhabitants is not large
compared with that in some of the
greater states, but the growth Is ex-
ceptional. And Alabama and Florida
typify the remarkable material de-
velopment In the south.
Another proof that agriculture Is
not "played out” in New England. At
the corn exposition in Worcester,
Mass., a resident of that state was
awarded the prize of $500 for raising
103^4 bushels of “crib dry, yellow
flint corn” on one acre' of land. This
Is a world’s record, having never been
beaten even on the fertile boII of the
west or south. With such results
possible, "abandored farms” should
be unheard of In New England.
A woman got a divorce the other
flay on the complaint that her hus-
band was always sl/ent. The court
/eflened to the ground as a novelty.
It would have been more unusual If
a husband should seek divorce on the
same ground.

Austin: Gov. Campbell has signed
forty-eight pardons, wJ41ch' may be
strictly termed Christmas pardons.
Among those who will get there
Christmas presents from the Governor
are many friendless prisoners whose
cases have been worked up entirely
by the Board of Pardon Advisors in
conjunction with the Governor. Many
of them are life-timers, who have been
convicted on jpurder charges and have
served fifteen or twenty years. Oth-
ers are boys, who committed crimes
between the age of 16 and 20. There
are also several Mexicans on the list.
All of those pardoned have good
prison records. In the majority of the
cases the prosecuting officer, the trial
Judges and others who have had
something to do with their conviction,
have recommended their pardons. In
some cases doubt has risen as to
the guilt of various ones, and there
are some peculiar circumstances sur-
rounding the oases. One of those par-
doned is a Mexican, who can not speak
English. When Gov. Campbell first
noticed him he did not know for how
long he had been sentenced to the

appeared after a series of earthquake
shocks, and slid Into the depths of
the lagoon, carrying with it nearly
all of the inhabitants.
The sinking of the island la said
to have followed a series of earth-
quake shocks, which were felt
throughout the Republic. The shocks
began early Saturday evening and
grew in frequency and violence as
night progressed, until about midnight,
when the watchers on shore heard the
sounds 6f guns from the people on
the Island.
Shortly after that, a huge bonfire
was lighted on the Island and at about
1 o’clock a boatload of frightened
women and ohildren reached the main-
land. The survivors reported that
other boats were coming *s fast as
they could be filled, as the Island
was slowly sinking under the feet of
the inhabitants.

entirely In the hands of the trustees.
The foundation Is to be perpetual, and
when the establishment of Universal
peace is attained, the donor provides
that the revenue shall be devoted to
the banishment of the “next moat de-
grading evil or evils,” the suppression
of which would most advance the pro-

Politicians Overstep Themselves.
St. Louis, Mo.: Democratic politi-
cians were aroused to a high pitch
of excitement when it waa discov-
ered that a law passed in 1899 by
the State Legislature gives to the Gov-
ernor the power to redlstrlct the Con-
gressional Districts of Missouri. The
law was passed when the State was
Democratic by an enormous majority
and had been for about thirty years.
Democratic legislators never expected
the Bourbon State settled by Virgin-
ians and Kentuckians to ever go Re-
publican. Missouri now has a Repub-
lican Governor and the Legislature,
although Democratic, has not a two-
thirds majority necessary to repeal
the law.
Because It has been established that

tion of these dogs, except after two
