The partridge season does not open until October 1st and any one mislead by last weeks statement will govern themselves accordingly. As figured out by London answers, tbe annnal cost of \running\ a battleship of the Dreadnought class is $500,000 a year. I of which $300,000 goes to the officers for salaries and vjages. Ammunition in time Of peace costs $60,000 a year, the expense of necessary target practice being very heavy. Victualing,fuel, etc, make up the balance. Estimating the original cost of these ships at $7,500,000, and allowing a life of twenty years, the cost from the fflrat draft plans to the sale of tbe vessel •as junk, reaches a total of $17,500,000, Benjamin Rose, Of Cleveland, 0., who died in England a few weeks ago, left the Income of an estate valued at upward of $3,000,000 t o be used for charitable pur- poses, and placed it in the charge of fif- teen women. Fifteen Cleveland women are named in the will as the board of trustees, and are to have entire charge of the estate. It is to be used for the assistance of aged people, men of sixty five or more and women of sixty. They are to be provided for in their homes or homes are to be provided for them If necessary. Needy crippled children are also to be looked out for. Not only are their needs to be'supplied, but every ef- fort is to be made to cure them.

A Florida judge ruled that mullet were pot fish but birds, because, they had gk- sards. The customs oflicials in New York ruled that frugs were fish and must pay duty as such. A game warden in Maine gained popularity by declaring oysters W^re game and so acquired jurisdiction. And now comes the decision from tbe custom house that bagpipes are toys and, can not be classified as musical instru- ments for purposes of taxation. Speaker WadBwortb, Forest, Fish and Game Commissioner Whipple and State Comptroller Glynn, as the forest purchas- ing board last week bought for the State forest preserve parcels of land in tbe Catekills in Ulster and Greene Counties. The aggregate of the tracts was some- what more than 1,000 acres of woodland, and the price varied from $3 to $3.50 per acre.

At Alder Bend the flames are not yet under control and large tracts of valuable timber land* have been' burned ever. In the vicinity of Lyon.

The man who conducts bis business on the theory that it doesn't pay and he can't afford to advertise, sets up bis judgment, in.pp-oeition to that of all the best busi- ness men u> the world.

If ad vertising doesn't pay why dp advertia-re do the poet business ? If it doesn't pay why; do business firmaiin the world spend millions in that way ? Is it because they want to donate those But when you read, as you do often, the severe oritioUms of America on the part Europe it is a sligH comfort to Jknbw' fthat it is a. case of bsbo Iding the mote in the brotber'a eye without seeing the beam in. ones own. The newest fad among the lauy tourists at Thousand Islands Park is skipping tbe rope as an exercise. It is indulged in) chiefly by the ladies who incline to be stout, and as there are many such at this fashionable resort, it is likely to become very popular if i t proves effective fs a. flesh reducer. The exercise is not con fined to the seclusion of their rooms al- ways, and one day last week a party of fair rope jumpers gave a decidedly inter- esting exhibition of their skill In this re- spect near the Columbian Hotel to the great amusement of the older guests. Deer are reported plentiful in various sections of the Adirondacks and the sea- son which opened September 16th promises to be a' good one. Tbe open season will continue untd October 31. Heretofore the opening date has been October 1st, and tbe closing date Novem- ber ISth. The change has been brought about by tbe Forest, Fish and Game offi- cials to prevent the deer being tracked in the snow and it was thought it will be an additional protection to the animals. The season for partridge will open October 1st and continue until November j 80th. The sea is blue because the water re- flects the blue says of light, but shallow seas are green, because the blue light is mixed with the yellow reflections from sand and'stones at the bottom. Green is a mixture of blue and yellow. In this green light of shallow water all seawe ds grow, and, for want of the red rays, they have golden and tawney leaves. Green and red seaweeds are tbe exception, and blue seaweeds are as raraas the blue tree leaves. At this rata land plants grown under green glass ought to tarn golden brown, like seaweed. They do. Experi ment has shown that under, green glass plants grow nearly as well as .under sun- light. Tbe late frost of the past, spring injured the Oklahoma fruit crop considerably, but what the growers lost in yield they have more than made up in prices, and it is estimated that tbe total value ot tbe fruit and melon crop in .Oklahoma this iseaspn will be in tbe neighborhood of $1,000,000. The Oklahoma Fruit Growers' Association alone bandied out 330 cars of elberta peaches this season, the growers receiving over $300,000 for their ship- ments. Outside the organization many independent farmers realized big sums for their peach crop, and, in fact, it has proved one of the best years of the- fruit industry in this State. Tbe organization of growers, however, has served thg pur- pose anficipated—placing the crop on the market at the bighest value obtainable: -Jjawton News Republican.
