Tulsa's city council has decided to
install a clarifying system for the
water plant on the plan in use at
St. Louis. Three settling basins will
'be used and the water will be puri-

will cost $25,000, and it will cost ap-
proximately $3 a day to operate it.
It is announced that army horses
will begin to arrive at Fort Reno
within the next 30 days and that be-

2.000 horses. The reservation Is to
be fenced and gates established at
convenient places for the use of the
public.
The secreetary of the hoard of ag-
riculture for Oklahoma predicts the
corn crop will yield 75 per cent of an
average crop, while cotton will go
about 70 per cent. Owing to improv-

growing crops of all kinds have shown
a gain.
The office of the general claim

(i'opyrlght, by Join |ih II Bowles.)
It Is perfectly proper to speak of
the "crusl” of the earth. The exist-
ence of volcanoes and the fact Hint the
temperature regularly Increases as
you penetrate the rocks hy Innings
or mining shafts prove thst the In-
terior of the earth Is hot enough to
melt nil known mineral substances.
In boring for gus or oil or water and
In descending along the line of min-
eral veins or to reach deep-seated
coal deposits It Is found that the tem
perature Increases about one degree
for every fifty or 76 feet, so that It Is
a serious question with miners how
far they can follow a vein into the
earth before reaching a point where
the heat will he so great that it would
ho Impossible for workmen to en-
dure It.
Taking the average Increase of heat
to be one degree In 60 feet, we should
reach a point where water would boll
ut n distance of about 8,000 feet or
a little over a mile and a half. It,
therefore, would be a feasible plan to
bore a hole to that depth, and by let-
ting cold water into it hy one pipe
bring It up hot in another, thus mak-
ing use of the heat of the Interior of
the earth to warm our houses. Very
likely before the coal and oil are ex-
hausted this may be tin* source |
through which to dispel in our homes
the rigors of winter even in arctic
climates.
At the same rate of increase we
should have to descend only 30 or 40
miles to find a degree of heat which
would melt any known substance and
produce a molten Interior. The only
escape from the conclusion that the
earth consists of this thin crust of
mlit'M and Inva were ejected In suffl
( lent qunntlth ' to form In a short
time a mountain 1,600 feet high.
Since then there have been no erup-
tions, ami the lower thinks of the
mountain are now covered with trees
and the surrounding country Is culti-
vated as formerly.
One of the lurgcst volcanoes and
one which has been most carefully
studied, Is Kllauea, on the Island of
Hawaii, the crater of which Is 1.1,C76
feet above the sea. The crater Is
nearly three miles In diameter, and
Is filled with boiling Invu, which varies
greatly in height ut different times.
When vlalled by Prof. Dana In 1889
It lurked only 400 feet of being full,
no ns to run over from the top. In
1840 the lava hnd subsided, so that It
was 1,000 feet below the rim. No re-
cent eruptions have projected the lava
over the rim. but at various times
since the discovery of the tslnnd great
streams of lava have hurst out from
the side of the mountain, 2,000 feet or
mure below the summit.

Sorr.e of the More Rare Flower Seeds
Are Expensive.
"Just as good as gold." remarked a
young Boslon suburbanite who thinks
himself something of an amateur gar-
dener, ns he ran his hand through a
sample bng of fine spring seed wheat
In a Mouth Market street seed store.
"Yes," said the seedsman to whom
the remark was addressed, "but unlike
the seed of some other farm and gar-
den products we have in here it isn't
worth its weight in gold.
"Every year there is a great variety
of new flowers. The growers are con-
tinually at work hybridizing to produce
fine strains of flowers. It requires con-
siderable time and labor to do it, and
tills makes them very expensive.
"Take the petunia grand!flora, for
instance, as a sample. It is an exceed-
ingly beautiful flower. The packages
of Its seeds contain between 300 and
400 seeds each, but the seed is so fine
as to be an almost impalpable powder.
The package retails at 76 cents, but
by the ounce the seed is worth $500.

consolidated material arises from the
fact that the melting point of metals
rises under pressure. For example,
iron when subjected to very great
pressure will remain solid long after
reaching the temperature at which it
ordinarily melts, so It is supposed that
the pressure toward the center of the
earth is so great that no amount of
heat, or, at any rate, the intense
heat In the Interior of the earth, can
make it assume a liquid form. This
also agrees with the calculations of
physicists, who affirm that the earth
behaves like a solid, and therefore,
cannot have a liquid interior, as was
formerly supposed.
But the many other positive indica-
tions of the existence of molten mat-
ter in the interior of the earth have
led to a conclusion which satisfies all
packages. You can easily see, then,
how the seed is worth even more than
its weight in gold.
"An ounce of high-priced seed may
represent the entire product of a sea-
son's work by the grower on one par-
ticular variety. We have frequently
paid a French hybridist as high as $60
an ounce for a special variety of pansy
seed, that retails for a great deal more
than that an ounce. Packets of it sell
for 50 cents each.
"In the matter of vegetable and
grain seeds, ihe market gardener or
the farmer must pay prices for these
that sometimes gives him a shock.
Take one of those mammoth squashes,
say, that weighs 200 pounds or over.
The seeds obtained from a big squash
like that actually sell for four cents
apiece, or four dollars an ounce. Then

lamation declaring Tishomingo the

• An attempt to fix the price of ccal
at the mines in Oklahoma will be
made by bringing an action before
40 or 60 miles from the surface the
heat is so great and the pressure so
limited that all substances are melted,
so that there is a segment, probably
many hundred miles in thickness, con-
sisting of molten matter, while the in-
terior nucleus remains, both intensely
hot and at the same time solid.
One of the most striking positive
indications that there is such a molten
mass at no great distance below the
surface of the earth is to be found in
the volcanoes of the world, which are
best explained as vent holes through
which this molten matter escapes to
the surface in response to the varying
degrees of pressure from the crust of
the earth over different areas. When,
for example, through long-continued
deposition of earthy •material about
the mouths of the great rivers, one
portion of the earth's crust becomes
overloaded, so that it presses with un-
due weight over a limited area, it
would squeeze a portion of the molten
material to the surface, just as if you

lettuce that sells for three dollars an
ounce, while some kinds of beet seed
bring at retail from $2.50 to three dol-
lars a pouud. Even a new variety of
parsley is high-priced, the seed of one
kind selling at two dollars a pound.
“Not long ago a Vermont man
brought In to us a new variety of oats
that he had been working to produce
for three or four years. It was a very
fine product, and it retails at seven
j dollars a bushel for seed. There are
j some other kinds of oats that sell for
five dollars a bushel, and the enter-
prising farmer pays that price for his
seed, ns he knows that it will double
| the market value of the output of an
| oat field.
“Some varieties of celery seed are
! also high priced. Boston market cel-
ery is the king of all the celeries raised
in this country, it sells at six dollars

"The mountain!*, (he mint, and the

'em—la there, Jim?"
The girl looked up into the man's
fare. Hhe stood leaning on the fence,
both elboWH renting on the top rail,
the moonlight Mhowing full on her up-
turned face, Modelling the heuvy IlneH
of mouth and chin.
The September moon wan waning,
I>'«t the night wum warm and pallid.
The hiImIm hung low, pierced with
moonlight. A light wind, coming down
the valley, blew MtrandH of the girl'*
dark hair and wrapped her MklrtM
about her, bringing out the Mtrotig,
bold lines of her figure. She was

had played a great part In thlH girl's
life, yet with the red blood that
flowed through her vetnH there whs
health — great, bounding, Jo.v""s
health. Her fnce showed the tou. lV
of mountnln winds and of Bummer
KUUM, am) In her eyes lay a shadow;
something of the mystery, perhaps, of
the mountains themselves.
"The mountains, the mists, and the
moonlight!" The girl's eyes wandered
from the face of the man at her side
to the far, dim lines of hills; then
they came slowly back again.
"I ain't never had much else, Jim,
only night after night, just like this
one, when I’ve stood here In this same
spot and seen the moon come out and
the hills begin to shadow. Seem'd
like it was the only time of the day
when there wan t nothing to do; the
supper done and the dishes washed
and put away; pa a smokin' his pipe
and the children in bed. Seem'd like
the hills was a callin' me and I had
to answer. It’s all I ever had, Jim,
till you come."
She paused, and her face showed
pale.
"I guess I must have always liked
you, ever since I could remember. An'
we’ve been happy together, you an'
me—'til—'til the last few months.
That's why I ast you to coine to-
night."
Her hands pressed hard on the
rail in front of her.
"Don’t you think I’m blamin' you,
Jim. It's just one of those things that's
got to be. I've watched it a cornin’
and I couldn't see no other way out
of it. Why, the children was always
a talkin’ 'bout the new teacher, an'
last spring when she w’as so good—”
Her eyes went suddenly across the
fields to w’here she could see in the
moonlight a rough board that marked
a long grave.
"Seem’d 's though there never was
no time for me to go to school, what
with the children a cornin' so fast,
an' all the mendin' and cookin', to say
nothin' of the work in the fields. But
I knew you loved me, Jim, and some-
how I didn’t care so much 'bout others
—only for your sake, when I seen you
goin’ with the others. You’ve always
had a longin' for books, and I noticed
how you took right hold an' staid
home a studyin', night after night. The
mountains has been all the teacher
I've ever know’n, an' they ain't never
failed me yet. There's somethin’ in
their bigness an’ their stillness that
sometimes seems to just draw my
heart right out. It kinder seem's though
the Lord had made 'em for me."
She stretched out both arms w’ith a
wide, sweeping gesture.
"I love their awful silence. Some-
times it seems to answer somethin' in-
side of me—a kind of longin' I can't
just tell. You've been awful good to
me, Jim. an’ I know’ you loved me
once. But I could see that you wras
a gettin' restless, seem'd like you
wanted more'n just this. You us’t
to talk 'bout goin’ awrav, even before
the new teacher come. An’ w’hen she
let you take all them books—why,
they wasn’t nothin' to me. but a print-
ed page. But I could see they was
more to you. You ain’t never been
the same since. You've tried hard to
love me an' to keep your promise, but
it ain't no use. I've always loved you,
Jim, an’ I'd have worked for you ail’
been a good wife. But I won't never
be any more'n I am now—while she—
she's more like you."
She paused and caught her breath.
“Besides I’ve been a thinkin' lately,
perhaps it wouldn't be just right for
me to leave pa an' the children. I
don't want you to feel bad. Jim—tain't
no fault o' yours. Seent's like there's
some things in this world that's just
got to be.”
Her voice died aw’ay suddenly. The
man at her side shifted his feet un-
easily. Her face showed white in the
moonlight. Her full lips looked tight
and drawn.
“I—I guess you'd better be a goin'
now. Jim.”
She held out her hand. He took it,
and it felt hard and cold.
"Good-by." she ‘said, slow ly. Then,
with a quick motion, she came nearer
and looked up into his face.
“I wish you'd kiss me once, Jim, be-
fore you go—just once. ’Twon't be
no wrong to her."
He stooped and pressed his lips on
hers, hard and long.
"Good-by,” he said, and the tones of
his voice roused her.
She watched him until he passed out
of her sight down the road. Then she
rested her arms upon the rail of
the fence and laid her head down
upon them. The moon, rising higher
above the distant hills, looked wan
and white. The wind was blowing to her
chill. The girl stood a few moments; [ call.

tLcn she turned slowly, crossed the
white road, and went up the narrow
path to Ihe cabin that stood like u
dark blotch OH the white of the land-
scape. She pushed open the dour and
went In. The light from a candle
threw the greater part of the room In
shadow. There were a few embers
In the grout open fireplace, nnd beside
them xat her father, the rings of smoko
front his pipe flouting lazily upward to
lose themselves amid the rough
puncheons that formed the celling lie
looked up ns the girl entered.
The girl crossed the room, picked up
a banket full of coarse stockings from
the rude bench table, nnd seating her-
self near the candle thrust her needle
In and out with a quick, sharp motion.
The room wuis full of a pungent odor
front the red peppers nnd bunches of
dried herbs that hung from the cell-
ing.
The old man, shifting his gaze from
the fire, removed his pipe and opened
his llpB,
"Where's—," he began. The girl
looked up quickly. Two bright spots
of color burned In cither cheek.
"You'd better be a goin' to bed, pa.
It's gettin' late."
Then the needle flashed In and out
again, swiftly, silently. The old man
drew a few more puffs; then he
stooped and knocked the ashes from
his pipe. He rose and crossed the
room, and. with a rough, unwonted ten.
derness, laid one heavy hand on her
shoulder.
"Good night, pa," she answered,
sharply.
A little while later she folded and
laid away the last storking. Then
she rose. and. taking up the candle,
passed slowly into the room that she
had shared with the other children
ever since she could remember. With-
out undressing she blew out the can-
dle and threw herself down upon the
hard bed and lay there, staring up at
the celling, wild-eyed, sleepless. She
could hear the sound, deep breathing
of the children, but she was conscious
of nothing save this new sense of
pain, of loneliness, of longing.
She had never known human sym-
pathy. She had never felt the need
of it. Born of the mountains, living
her life beneath the shadow of their
mystery, finding in their wild canyons
and deep gorges, their sweeping winds
and cold, still summits, an answer to
the mystery of life, to the dim silence
of the soul. In their loneliness they
had called her, and they were calling
her now. She rose dumbly and passed
into the outer room. The embers had
died down, leaving only a pile of dead
ashes on the hearth. She unbarred
the heavy door and went out Into the
night. The stillness was like velvet.
Before her stretched the long, white
road; beyond it the mountains bathed
in mists, dark with shadows. She hur-
ried on and on, all the wild unrest of
heart and brain reaching out in an-
swer to this wordless, unknown call.
Now the mists and the darkness en-
folded her; great crags, cloud-capped,
towered above her. She struggled on
dumbly.
On all sides of her rose the great
forest trees. Through the dense fo-
liage the moonlight shifted faintly.
Now and then the tangled under-
growth tripped her. Huge bowlders,
washed down by some mountain tor-
rent, lay across the path. The smell
of vegetation, damp, reeking with
death and decay, came to her nostrils.
The long, complaining note of some
night bird reached her ears, and far
away in the distance the bark of a
coyote. Once she paused, feeling
soma human presence near, but it was
only the rippling of a mountain brook
and the wailing of the wind.
At length, exhausted, she sank down
close to a great bowlder. She rested
her arm against the rock and leaned
her head upon it. Dimly she felt the
peace of the vast, pregnant silence.
Far below’ her lay the valley, shrouded
in mists; above her the great heights
shrouded in mystery, and calling, ever
calling.
She started up suddenly, conscious
of a new element. The wind was ris-
ing. All about her she could feel
the deep undertone of the forest. She
stood still and listened, and for the
first time felt a vague fear. From the
distance she heard the deep boom
of the mountain torrent. A light
flashed among the trees, followed by a
rogr that seemed to come from the
vet4 bowels of the mountains. The
wind had quickened into terrible life.
The great trunk of the tree bent and
swayed; bowlders and pieces of rock
rolled down the mountain side.
The girl knelt down, hiding her face.
The roar deepened. Suddenly, from
above, there came a mighty undercur-
rent of sound. Down from the sum-
mit. crashing, tearing, splitting the
ground in wide, yawning seams, came
a mighty forest monarch. It tore
through the ranks of the other trees
with swift and terrible force. The
girl, lifting her head, watched it
coming. She stoo'd as one in a
dream, making no sound, no motion.
Suddenly she stretched out her arms.
There was a blinding flash; a quiver;
a great cry that lost itself, only to
find its echo in the shriek of the
winds.

recently from a convict begging him
to reform the writer's w’ife, who was

no credit to him to receive letters
front such a place as prison.”

but disliked it, because, as we learned
later, it was not made right.
“Determined this time to give Post-
um a fair trial, I prepared it accord-
ing to directions on the pkg.—that is,
boiled it 15 minutes after boiling com-
menced, obtaining a dark brown liquid
with a rich snappy flavor similar to
coffee. When cream ami sugar were
added, it was not only good but de-
licious.
“Noting its beneficial effects in me
the rest of the family adopted-it—all
except my husband, who would net ad-
mit that coffee hurt bun. Several
weeks elapsed during which I drank
Postum two or three times a day.
when, to my surprise, my husband
said: I have decided to urink Postum.
Your improvement is so apparent—you
have such fine color—tnat 1 propose*
to give credit where creuit is due.' And
now we are coffee-slaves no longer.**
Name given by Postum Co.. Battle
Creek. Mich. Read "The RoadtoWeil-
ville.” in pkgs. "There's a Reason."
Ever read the above letter? A new
cne appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and lull of human
interest.
