The Rumely Spirit In Richmond. The old way to write history waa to record the battles. The historians of today are Interested in the daily life of the people of all ages in order that we can all get at the one thing which haa any real meaning for all of us on this -planet. The struggle for existence of a single man contains more of real value for anybody than do the death throes of countless troops upon, a field of honor. What more does anyone know of the way in which to get a job and keep it after reading of Napoleon's retreat from Moscow; or the struggle agalnat the Shoguna in Japan; or the latest press dispatchea from Mexico? Each man's life'is more valuable to him than anything else he has. Since practically all the male population over the legal age of 21 is busy making a living at toll of some sort busy at least eight hours of the day we should think that all the great histories would contain at least a meagre account of the comings and goings of one generation to guide the next. But after all these centuries that the Germanic and for that matter, all the other peoples have been out of their war paint, skins, and other uncivilized ways described so vividly by Tacitus in the days of the Caei&rs just how much has been added to the human experience along useful lines? It ia only within the last few years that students of business' have taken the trouble to go back and study the rise of the corporation, and students of government were content for years to accept Blackstone's version of the body politic as fact instead of many pretty legal fictions firmly fostered by an aristocratic lecturer to the sons of gentlemen at an English university.

Just now we are facing a crisis in this country. We have stumbled against it as suddenly as a child discovers a thing in the dark a great, black, portentous THING. The child is usually sure that it is a ghost or a bear; sometimes it turns out to be the nurse, sometimes it may be a burglar. We have all been so busy that now when we have come on the THING we don't know anything about it and we are scared and about to scream. The thing we have discovered is the conflict between monopoly on the one hand and democracy on the other. As the history of our times will show afterwhile, the corporation, a recent growth, has come in conflict with the republic, a recent growth. The corporation is compact, well governed and in comparison with the republic efficient. The republic is quite the opposite. Just now all the corporation movement seems to be toward monopoly. The republic, composed 'of ninety million or so people is afraid of the consequences. What next? What next? At the same time the. republic is trying to strengthen itself by making government more direct the initiative, the referendum, the recall, the short ballot, the government of cities and states and public utilities by monopolis.

Suddenly people are beginning to wonder if this monopoly of everything (including money), is not checked where are we going to be? Boiled down; the only thing that we are any of us vitally interested in is our families and our friends. Boiled down again, this all resolves itself into the man and his job. If the job does not pay him enough on which to live; if the wages do not buy what he requires; if promotions to larger salaries bear no known proportion to effort and capability then there will be trouble. Hunger breeds the mob. If the French had been well fed instead of underpaid and overtaxed by the monopolists of the land the nobility a king would have sat longer on the throne. It is mighty hard to rouse a man from a comfortable home with a houaehold of children for whom he goea out to work every morning with a light heart and to which he returns with a smile. Again we say it is hunger that breeds the mob; fire, murder, misrule, confusion, alarm, rapine and atruggle. Those who are law-abiding, peaceful citizens become revolutionists in short order when the belt has to be pulled in to the place for which there is no hole yet made.

What has this to do with Richmond? First let us announce that for some time there has been much speculation on the part of hundreds of citizens of Richmond on what would befall them when Dr. Rumely had completed his threshing machine combination. Hundreds of people were interested because it e ffected their jobs. And that strikes home. Dr. Rumely is a young man. In a few years be has placed himself at the head of a great corporation now in control of the greatest combination In the world manufacturing his product. The Gaar-Scott assimilation waa but a part of the economic history of the country. It was another chapter in the corporation story. "What will Rumely do?" That question has been on every lip in Richmond. It could be a death dealing blow to many a home. Rumely haa made his first few moves. That they are good moves is the knowledge of many men. The thing is vital. It affects- the jobs of the men. It ia the adoption of a spirit of interest in the employe. It may seem a very little thing to give every man a small gift of money on Christmas. Yet grizzled men remark on it and still remark on it. It haa turned hundreds of men into members of the Rumely organization who before that considered themselves but day laborers. Last Saturday a magazine made ita appearance in all the Rumely plants. This magazine offers a prise for suggestions by the men. What do things of that sort mean? It la a guarantee that the man at the head is Interested in those who compose hia organization. Such a man can be talked to frankly; he can see things not only when pointed out to him but before they happen.

. This is not all. It Is merely an Incident. It ia known that Harrington Emerson, who haa lately achieved world-wide recognition aa an "Efficiency Engineer" la in constant collaboration with Rumely. Efficiency means a better product at cheaper cost in effort hence better conditions for workers, better pay, stability, promotion with respect to merit the solution of production and of every problem confronting the man who worka for another. Without the guarantee of the Rumely spirit, which must proceed directly from the employer and not from any rule of thumb or tablee of statistics, many of the efficiency regulations might meet with failure. Ia it too much to hope that the introduction of "Efficiency In the large combinations in this country will solve the problem of the man and hla job? Or is it too much to hope that "efficiency" introduced into government will solve the other half of the problem now confronting - the American people? It seems that the Rumely spirit does well in coming to progressive Richmond and so doea Richmond in its coming.

Heart to Heart Talks, By E3WD4 A. WYE.

LAUGH EARLY AND OFTEN. Mirth U God'a medicine. Everybody ouaht to bathe In it O. W. Holmea. Mirth a medicine? Certainly, and a good one better than most of the prescriptions of materia medlca. It is one of nature's real tonics, a balm for life's bruises, a salve for sorrows, a liniment for grouches, a panacea for worry. Dr. Sanderson says: "Mirth, cheerfulness, la a better stimulant for the tissues of the body than drugs, which react. Laughter is an actual lgfe giving influence." Another physician says, "Fun is a food and as necessary to wholesomeness as bread." Therefore laugh. We take life too seriously. We do not laugh enough. Or we indulge in a stingy sort of mirth. Some of us laugh so seldom we lose the habit of it. A laugh is. a massage. Figures of speech aside, a good laugh is a real massage treatment. When you laugh heartily your diaphragm gets busy. In moving rapidly up and down it massages the liver, stirring that organ up to its duty. It affects other organs also. "Laugh and grow fat" is the shrewd observation of many generations. The old kings were wise. , They hir ed jesters to make them laugh. And; Lycurgus, able lawmaker, set. up the ! god of laughter in the public dining; rooms of Sparta. j Laughter is a good buffer. It is like the shock absorbers folks put in the springs of their automobiles. It helps to carry one easily ! over the knobs and "thank-you-ma'ms" i of life's rugged road. And It reduces : friction everywhere. j Laughter is normal. j Good health and physical and mental harmony require that the funmaking propensities should be released. Laugb ter does that. If these natural propensities are kept back one has an attack of "the blues;" if totally repressedinsanity. Laugb and succeed. If you bottle up your visible spirits you paralyze your personality. A cheerful spirit and a hearty laugh smooth out many wrinkles of business. Men and women go every year to premature graves because they have forgotten how to laugb. Laugh and stay above ground. Sickly school children, exposed to all forms of germ diseases by confinement in poorly ventilated rooms, improper hygiene cannot be kept too well fortified against disease, impure air and exposure makes them more prone to disease; give them regularly, a simple, pleasant regulator, Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea. 'Twill keep them well. 35c. A. G. Luken. A BLOW TO DEFENSE OF ATTY. D ARROW (National News Association) LOS ANGELES, March 9. The defense for Attorney Clarence Darrow sustained a stunning blow today when Judge Huttin refused to order more complete copy of the grand jury bribery proceedings which was furnished by his attorneys. The French minister of commerce has been petitioned to wage a war on tight dresses. SECRET INK. Writing Which May Bo Made Invisible or Visible at Will. There are several ways in which two persons call correspond with each other unknown to even the 'people before whose eyes the very letter is held. Ovid taught young women when writing to their lovers they should use new milk as ink. This when dried Is invisible, but by scattering coal dust or soot upon the paper the writing becomes legible. Ansonius adopted this method when writing to Paulinus. Diluted sulphuric add, lemon juice, solutions of nitrate and chloride of cobalt or of chloride of copper write colorless, but on being heated the characters written with the first two become black or brown and the utter green. When the paper becomes cool the writing disappears and leaves the paper blank again. Saltpeter dissolved in water and equal parts of sulphate of copper and sal ammoniac dissolved in water are two good invisible inks. There are also some Inks which are Invisible when dry, but visible when moistened with another liquid. Thus a" solution of muriate of antimony washed with tincture of galls becomes yellow, green vitriol Ink -washed with the same solution turns black, nitrate of cobalt washed with oxalic acid turns blue, arsenate of potash with nitrate of copper green, solution of gold with muriate of tin purple.

OUR TREES - FOOD MANUFACTURE

BY 'PROF. J. F. THOMPSON. In the last two articles it was pointed ont that the food of planta and animals is the same in kind, tbat ia. organic material. It ia common knowledge that no animal can make food. Not even Dr. Wiley with all his skill in chemistry can make a grain of wheat. Animals are consumers of food, but not food makers ; or we may say that animals are food destroyers, or we may say that animals use food in such a way that it ia always tending toward, and finally becomes, inorganic matter. Two hundred and fifty years ago John Evelyn saw that something kept up this food supply and he was right in believing that plants did it, but while this English scholar was a keen observer, he was more of a philosopher than a botanist. He .reasoned that life and death are two equal forces and that it was the business of plants to reconstruct new living plant forms from the dead of both animals and plants. He knew, as we know that death follows life, with equal and certain step, and he thought, life must follow death in like manner, using again the same organic material. Some plants can do this, that is, can live on decaying matter alone. The toad-stools live this way and we call them Saphrophytes. Some plants live on living things, the Dodder that florists know about does this and we call it a parasite. But these plants are both more or less degenerate, the toad-stool is a scavenger and the dodder is a thief and neither ranks high in any kind of society. If living organisms live only on dead organisms, life would degenerate, or deteriorate and would finally disappear. Suppose the Starr Piano company would say to its customers, "We cannot make any more pianos because the raw material cannot be had any longer. When your pianos are worn out, send them back to the factory and we will make them over again." Suppose three come back to the factory Xor repairs and it takes one, to repair the other two; it requires no argument to make it clear that the time would come when there would be no more Starr pianos. In other words, new instruments muBt be made all the time, new ones out of raw material. No matter how good a made over piano may be, there is always loss that cannot be made good, except out of new material, and no made-over instrument can be as good as a new one. Parasitic plants and parasitic animals may be regarded as kind of made over machines, never as good as plants and animals that feed on food that is new. In another article it was stated that there are ten necessary constituents in a plant's make-up; that is if a piece of wood is analyzed chemically, while it may and does contain many more elements than ten, yet Carbon, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Sulphur, Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium and Iron are always found In normal healthy plants with green leaves. The last six may be found in the ashes of wood when it is burned and therefore represents what the plant gets from the soil. Starch is one of the most abundant of our foods. Wheat, corn, rice, beans, potatoes are starch, and the elements that enter into the composition of starch are Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. In the cooking department, Miss Parsons will tell you they are called Carmohydrates. Now where does the potato plant get its carbon out of which to build a potato"? Everyone Germany's Industrial Life. The industrial life of Germany gives the impression of a great street crowded with heavy traffic. This traffic Is formed of units, but all have a common purpose and direction, and it is well regulated. It is aggressive, noisy and dangerous to those who brave its competitive perils. It is artificial, as it caters to the needs of man largely outaide of the actual necessities for subsistence, and it is subject to increases or decreases, congestions or even sudden stoppages, for. unlike the bulk of the traffic of the United States, it Is not the irresistible flow of a mighty rivet of natural products seeking the level of supply and demand. Ever increasing Its volume, ever extending its sonc of Influence, the foreign trade of Germany is the marvel of the twentieth century. James Davenport Whelplej In Century.

knows that some of our finest potatoes are raised In soli In which there is no carbon either in the composition

fof the soil or mixed with it. Our trees along the street are about fifty or sixty per cent water; If the water could all be dried out of a tree, half the dry weight would be carbon so that in a forest, while the ground contains decaying leaves and twigs which are carbon, the amount in the soil is quite insignificant as compared with the amount the trees get from some other source. One of the most brilliant discoveries in botany was that of the Dutchman Ingenhouss. It was that the carbon of plants is derived from the carbon-dioxide of the atmosphere. It is a common knowledge that the ; atmosphere is a mixture of vases, the principle ones being nitrogen, 75 per cent, oxygen a little more than 24 per cent and a little less than 1 per cent ! carbon-dioxide. Suppose a tree weighs twenty thousand pounds, which is about the weight of an average forest tree; in : half that weight is water, and half the weight of the solid material is carbon, then an average forest tree foil contain five thousand pounds of carbon. To get this much from the atmosphere, the tree must deprive 824 million cubic ! feet of air of its carbon-dioxide. Now if we could multiply this number by all the forest trees on the earth and add to the number the carbon used by other plants, the size of the number would be appalling, and when at the close of the last Century, Ingenhouss announced his discovery to the world, no one believed him. That plants could get such an amount of carbon from the atmosphere that had relatively so little in it was regarded by scientists as absurd, and the discovery was forgotten until about the middle of the last century. Liebig, a German, showed that Ingenhouss waa right, and today no one questions it. The man who would call into question that plants get their carbon from the atmosphere would be regarded with as much curiosity as a man who still believes the earth is flat. It was a fact hard to accept, because one then had to believe that all the : coal in all the coal mines of the world was at one time in the atmosphere and waa taken up by the forests of the geological ages of the world, i One reason may be given why this discovery was regarded as absurd: No one can have an adequate conception of the extent of the atmos- : phere, we cannot see it, we may know : its depth, its weight and ita compoai- : tion, yet the facts about a thing unseen are not as convincing aa the facta about a thing we can see. We can com- ' pute the amounts of carbon in a tree j and easily believe the figures because ' we know how the tree looks, then ' when we say that if we multiply this by the number of trees in the world, the result is convincing and we are amazed but convinced; but when .we 1 try to think of this much carbon being ! in an atmosphere that we haven't seen ! it requires very strong faith in mathe matics to believe that it may be proven large enough to furnish this amount of carbon, and it la not so surprising that Ingenhouss waa not believed by the people of his time. But Liebig computed the number of cubic meters of atmosphere and found that even though the percentage of carbon-dioxide is small, the atmosphere Is so large that It will aupply the vegetation pf the earth with car bon for centuries to come.

Remember the name Doan' and take no other. the atmosphere is losing its carbon to plants in their work of food building, yet it is being renewed from a good many sources. Everyone knows that in respiration carbon-dioxide Is given up to the atmosphere. Each person in respiration gives to the atmos

phere daily about one-half pound of carbon in the carbon-dioxide. If there are 16 million people in the world, that will be a daily addition of eight million pounds of carbon. The atmosphere, then, Is the great source from which plants get the raw material out of which they manufacture New Organic matter. This raw material la inorganic; It la not decayed matter, it la elementary. Water rising from the ground meets the carbondioxide of the atmosphere in the green leaves of the plant, and by the aid of the sunlight the leavea are able to break up the water into ita hydrogen and oxygen and carbon -dioxide into carbon and oxygen and put of these new elements build, not only moat of their own food, but nearly all the food of the world. It is quits beyond the purpose of this article to explain how plants are able to do this, but It can be shown in any botanical laboratory.
