No Roltglon Mo.-e Capable of Produo Ing Human Food. Though the name of Siberia la still popularly accepted as a synonym for all that is Arctic and sterile, says the London Olobe, it is becoming clearer every year that few regions of the earth are more capable of producing Immense stores of human food. This year, in particular, when the crops over much of European Russia have failed, the richness of the Siberian lands has been extremely conspicuous, and there is surplus produce in vast abundance, the only difficulty being the inadequate means of transport With a virgin soil and a far more ac tive and independent Russian popula tion than is to be found in most parts of Russia Itself, there Is no doubt that a great agricultural future should await this enormous region. Another Artificial Fertilizer. The success attained In Norway by the electrothermlc process for the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen in the form of nitric acid, which Is after ward converted Into calcium nitrate and used as a fertilizer In place of Chile saltpeter, has been followed by the development of another method of living atmospheric nitrogen by pass ing It over heated calcium carbld. The product is called cyanamid in the market "nitrollm" and experiment shows that when placed in the soli it decomposes and furnishes nitrogen to plants. At present cyanamlu Is pro duced on an industrial scale at Odda in Norway, at Piano d'Orta In Italy, at Notre Dame de Briancon in France, at Westergeln and Bruhl in Germany, and large plants are being established at Almlssa in Austria-Hungary, and at Niagara Falls in Canada. A Llghtless Lighthouse. On a sunken reef 3."0 feet distant from Stornoway Lighthouse 13 a re markable beacon which warns mari ners with the help of a light which is only apparent The beacon Is a cone of cast-iron plates, surmounted with a lantern containing a glass prism. The prism derives its light from re fracting the rays emitted from the lighthouse, and the optical delusion is marvellous. Mariners naturally suppose that there is a lighted lamp on the beacon Itself, and many of them will not believe otherwise. But the object of tho beacon Is attained when the navigator sees the rellected light, which indicates tho perilous mnr linlnn- TMiio tinnnn line linnn til use more 'than 'half a century, and j since it was fixed in position others ! . . . . . ! have been placed In other neighbor hoods to make clear points of danger, Technical World His Pedigree.

Sir James Ross in the course of his travels noted a curious fact with regard to the penguin, namely the habit of swallowing stones. In one specimen he found ten pounds weight of quartz, granite and trap. Other animals, reptiles, fishes and mammals exhibit the same strange fancy. In a paper contributed to the proceedings 1 of the Bristol Naturalists' Society, W . I H. Wicks has collected a number of facts connected with such stomach stones. The fact noted by Mr. Wicks that the pebbles are usually white quartz is interesting, but does not ap pear to throw any light on the strange habit For the Teeth. Tartar is a deposit arising from an unwholesome stomach, and If not at tended to will loosen the teeth and cause them to give trouble; It is best to let tho dentist remove it; but it may be kept from collecting to any great extent by the use of powdered pumice stone and lemon juice. O.' ango sticks can be had at trifling cost at tho crug store. Dip the stick into the lemon juice, then into the pumice, and rub over the spots until removed. Pumice should be used but seldom on the teeth, and never on the teeth of children. OIL CAPTURES WILD GEESE. Feathers Are Clogged and Men 8leze Helpless Flock. Mount Vernon, 111.

The geese alighted in a quiet cove which was heavily coated with oil from the Illinois fields, and tho feathers of tbo birds became heavily impregnated. They attempted to fly, but their ef forts were fruitless and twenty-flvo birds were captured. Power and'Prepnrntion. Tho richer a nature the harder and slower its self-preparation and development. Patient preparation is pormanent power. In an ago fiat lacks composure men are apt to ma ture too quickly and decay too soon. Reserved power should be greater than spent. By self-preparation de posit each day for future drafts, and then you are not apt to overoheck your nccount. Rev. C. S. Patton, Presbyterian. BUSINESS MEN'S ANNUAL BANQUET The Business Men's Association Ban quet at Hotel Heumnnn A l''cnM of Reason and Flow of Koul What tho Ban queters Ate and , the Speakers Said. The Honesdale Business Men's Asso ciation held their annual banquet nt Hotel Heuniann on Tuesday evening, May 11th. The affair proved most suc cessful and enjoyable, much of the suc cess being due to the cfllcicncy of the committee in charge, Frank Schuerholz, N. B. Spencer and William Penwarden. The large dining room presented a very beautiful appearance. The dining hall and tables were profusely decorated with palms and ferns, and at each per son's place was placed a red carnation. The music during the evening wai fur nished by O'Brien's orchestra. Proprietor Hcumann had prepared the following menu for the banquet. Menu.

Spencer, secretary! f the organization, after a brief address, happily introduced Burgess Hon. John Kuhbach, who ex pressed his pleasure nt meeting with such a gathering of our citizens, and con gratulated the business men of the As sociation upon their success. He claim ed that the business man does more for his country than anyone else, he being practically "the man behind the gun." Every other class needs his help and as sistance and upon him the prosperity of the country depends. The next speake was State organizer, I!. W. Hittciihoiisc, of Seranton. He recalled the fact that vears ago he was called to Honesdale to assist in the organization of a Business ''"' Association, and on arriving here wan greeted bv twelve discouraged in- i. ...i ....l , i. ,lw. dividuals who wanted to postpone the business, but after a talk with them he persuaded them to go ahead with the work. A number ol the associations in the country which were organized in this manner, now have large member ships. In our large cities, some of the organizations whose admission fee was originally one dollar lum- increased the charge to lilty dollars, and a person to get in must be of approved character. An association can accomplish nothing beneficial if all do not do their duty. All members ideas cannot be alike, but they should get together and think alike. There never was a man in busi ness yet, but could learn something, especially from an organization of this kind, and the men who help make a good organization are the men who work hand in hand. Members should attend their regular meetings. In some towns a business men's meeting would empty the show houses. Work for the interests of your organization. Every body sees benefits in organizing men like Mitchell and railroad men and manufacturers. The best organization in the world is that of the Locomotive . ., , ,,. ,:,; i. ""-".

The representatives will come home witli new ideas, and work with renewed vigor for your interests. W. W. Wood, who was next intro duced, made a few pertinent remarks, after which; the Rev. Dr. W. F. Hopp, gave a very pleasing address in which he emphasized the advantages accruing from men being united in every phase of life's activities. He dwelt forcibly upon the beauty of helping each other in business, and advocated very earnest ly the observance of Sunday as a day of rest from labor, claiming that it could be profitably spent in looking af ter one's spiritual interests; and in this connection extending an invitation to all who were not engaged elsewhere to attend his Sabbath services. After a few remarks by Toastmaster Spencer, the parting "Good night" word was passed and all were soon homeward bound. Those in attendance at the banquet were as follows : GUESTS. Town Council. Thos.
