AIDS NATUEES WORK
EFFECT OF ACETYLENE RAY6 ON
GROWTH OF PLANTS
Grow to Twice Actual Weight of
Those Exposed to Sunlight Only
Latest Viqtory for This New and
Beautiful Illuminant
The experiments recently made at
Cornell University prove that the
beautiful rays from the gas acetylene
are as effective as sunlight on the
growth of plants and this may soon
become a subject for serious consider
ation by all progressive cultivators of
tho soil
The results of the experiments are
astonishing inasmuch as they show
conclusively the great increase of
growth attained by supplementing
The Light of NJture with The
Light of Acetylene during the hours
in which the plants would otherwise be
in darkness For instance a certain
number of radish plants subjected to
acetylene light during the night grew
to twice the actual weight of the same
number of radishes given daylight
only all other conditions being equal
and peas had blossomed and partially
matured pods with the help of acety
lene light while without the added
light not even buds were apparent
Acetylene is already taking its
place as an illuminant for towns from
a central plant for lighting houses
churches schools and Isolated build
ings of all kinds and it is being used
successfully for many other purposes
A striking and important feature of
acetylene is the ease and small ex
pense with which it can be made
available compared with the great ad
vantages derived from its use The
machine in which the gas Is gener
ated Is easily installed

CHAPTER XIII
Lang Gets a Few Pointers Concerning
the City
The emigrant train crossed the ford
at early sunrise Bowie Bill risen now
to the dignity of leader of the train
though seemingly reckless as to the
danger that had surrounded him in
the past dispatched a messenger In
advance of the party who notified the
sub posts of the city of the near ap
proach of the emigrant train so that
In case of a second attack assistance
might be rendered If needed
Lang was riding alongside one of the
schooners thinking of his last nights
adventure when he was accosted by
Golden
Have I ever met you before this
trip Golden asked
Has Regan not told you who and
what I am
Sure But how did you know of
me and my mission
Dont you remember the German
kid who was confined in the Tombs
for the killing of Simeon Monroe the
Varwlck Street vag asked Louis in
surprise
Not the kid I made a few passes
at and told him I could get him out if
he wanted to escape
The same
Yes I remember you now said
Golden as if relieved of some heavy
burden but what bothers me is how
you knew me
Lang saw that he was in for an ex
planation whatever Goldens reason
for desiring it and was guarded in his
replies Since I became a man and
have had a little experience in several
secret societies I came to the con
clusion that the signs that you made i
to me had some deep meaning Your
power arid influence which I knew
you would have powers to free me
from the Tombs made me often de
sire to meet you
You did not seem very enthusiastic
us talk of yourself I dont think that
you are criminal enough to become
happy in the Convict City I rather
like you Lang and I speak now for
your own good You have in your pos
session ten thousand dollars the price
of your admission hesitate express
a desire and I will put you on the
back trail with a swift horse under
you Your decision
This was no time for Louis to hesi
tate He felt It
I am resolved to proceed he re
plied firmly
Once more I say and Goldens
voice was husky with excitement
Pause before it is too late This is
your last chance to escape from the
power of the octopus Some large
city is the place for you you will
live and die within the citys walls
You do not know what thankless mas
ters you are tying yourself to They
knowing your utter helplessness will
use you to their own ends You do
not deserve so vile a fate Turn
back
Louis put his hands upon Goldens
shoulder The old mans evident de
sire to do the lad a favor for a brief
moment unnerved the youth Golden
I thank you for your words it shows
me that like myself you are not whol
ly bad You are true to your friends
But I am resolved to go on My con
dition can be no worse than it has
been than it is now It has been the
dream of my life to see the inside of
the convict city What I have done to
gain my revenge I feel will place me
in the power of a most desperate man
Nowhere but with you will I be safe
from Denver I am avenged let the
penalty be what it may I must go
on
2o be it said Golden I have done
my duty as a man Your fate is upon
your own head
I will remember your expression of
friendship said Louis
Golden seemed to be debating with
Once more I say and Goldens voice was husky with excitement Pause
before it is too late
over my offer in the first place the
man replied as if a little bit piqued
Just because I refused your help
retorted Louis He felt proud of his
independence You were a little bit
late I had other plans You would
have aided me to escape no doubt
possibly I would- have been re-captured
At that time I knew that my
father and brother had succeeded in
bribing one of the jurors at consid
erable less cost than what your offer
amounted to If this had failed I
would have been glad to have accept
ed your offer I became a free man
in one sense of the word which was
to my mind more satisfactory
And now have been revenged on
Denver the detective
Yes he was the only man whose
evidence seemed to carry weight in
my case He has paid dearly for his
part in the business
And you now are truly a criminal
through that
What do I care for that I am
avenged I spent a year of my life
in jail Denver has toiled years for
the fortune I have robbed him of I
am young he is old and the result is
he will die in poverty while I will live
to enjoy his weath
Do you know what kind of a place
you are going to
I cant say that I do Lang re
frained from committing himself
What you do know you have been
told by Regan suavely queried Gold
en
Regan has told me nothing said
Louis calmly What little I do know
I have guessed
That will do to tell said Golden
annoyed I dont like Regan I think
he has a loose tongue in his head and
I dont like him for it I am afraid
he will do more harm than good in the
society
In what way asked Lang as If
but slightly interested while in truth
the question was -a burning one to
him
I think he would betray us if he
got the chance
In what way could one man do
damage to the Community after you
once got him inside the circle as
you call it The tone was one of
surprised incredulity
1 Much was Goldens candid reply
But that is not here or there Let
himself At last his mind seemed to
become settled He spoke now in a
more natural tone of voice We
were talking of Regan what damage
could one man do in the community
Much A well educated and really
brave man could do much It has
been prophesied by Magic Moll the
fortune teller that the town will be
destroyed by one man that is through
the influence of one man the town
would be divided against itself and a
house divided against itself you
know is bound to fall
I think you exaggerate said Louis
But there was a strange gleam in his
eyes and his breast filled with hope
I cannot credit Regan with the
power you seem to endow him
I am sorry Regan has been told the
secrets of the order It is true he
helped me from Joliet but I do not
like him What I know of him is not
to his credit
Lang thought it best now to change
his tactics a little How did he Know
but what Regan after all was a
friend A fellow conspirator in this
massive game of chance I will ad
mit that it was through Regan that I
learned of the existence of the city
said Louis But it was not a volun
tary admission on his part as you hint
Jealousy and drink carries Regan
away It was because he was drunk
and sore at Denver that he gave away
the facts of your escape For a year
or more I have been laying a trap to
jjet the best of Denver and during
that time I became while not a friend
of Jacks possessed of several of his
secrets I knew him to be crooked
having split several pots with cracks
men of note If he had been straight
goods he would never have helped me
rob the Madison bank To him I owe
that much I think he is all right
Golden listened very patiently to
Lang then said
You have again showed yourself a
man in the face of my talk to take
his part You are after my style I
would risk my life to help a friend
and if you will permit it I will be a
friend- to you
I would be honored asserted
Louis
It was just such an experience as
yours which resulted In making me
what I am an -outcast When about
13 years of age my mother died It
well she did I was left quite alone
as I never had the care of a father
I turned newsboy bootblack and gen
eral street gamin Poverty drove mo
to crime For food I broke into a
balfery shop and was caught in tho
act Of a revengeful nature I re
solved to be avenged upon the man
who had me punished and was as
bitter against the unthinking judge
whom I blame for not acquitting me
The baker was burned out and I was
sent up some years for incendiarism
The judges residence was robbed I
made him a poor man I wished to
flee from justice but I knew of no
safe place to go It was then I thought
of founding a refuge for just such
people as myself It was a child of my
brain but the real founder of the city
as it now stands was an outlaw by
the name of Mitchel the teacher ho
was called because he was a learned
man and had at one time plied this
vocation
The town Is naturally protected
and lies at the foot of three moun
tains hard of entrance Mitchell was
perfectly at home in this district and
it was an easy matter to surround
himself with a band of desperate fol
lowers It took three years to start
and fully ten years to get the village
into running order and this only by
the aid of a party of outcast Mor
mons In 1880 it had a population of
seven hundred of which number only
fifty were women Under the leader
ship of a doctor by the name of Schil
ler the town has reached a population
of fully nineteen hundred with fully
four hundred women and they are on
the increase
The government of the city is not
what may be termed an absolute mon
archy We have a king but his will
is not absolute He rules according
to law and is amenable to the law
Marriage is an honorable state Here
a mans honor is everything strange
as it may seem In the matter of
punishment the death penalty pre
dominates but in rather a queer way
Two persons who have forfeited their
right to life and liberty fight to the
death and the survivor become free
again This works well We have
more law abiding citizens in the city
to the square inch than any one place
in the states When once you enter
the cityyou will be expected to work
There are many occupations mostly
police and guard duty goes round in
trades that have been learned in jail
other positions trading takes place
If you are assigned to a certain duty
that is displeasing to you you can
trade or buy a substitute
I am afraid I tire you Lang so will
end my explantion by saying to you
traitors and spies are given no
chance for life
What do you mean demanded
Lang who was a little taken off his
guard at the abrupt ending of Gold
ens conversation
I mean nothing very calmly re
plied Golden I only wish to warn
you against taking a false step Dont
let your better nature get the best of
you here suspicion is sometimes as
much to be dreaded as actual facts
I am at a loss to understand you
Golden I am no hypocrite I dont
want to appear anything else than I
am Of course you know I am not
hardened in crime but pardon me I
am not a traitor
I believe you said Golden sober
ly But I cannot help speaking I
feel that I am returning here to die
and I must make a confidant of some
body Thus far I have been testing
you you have stood the test well
there now remains nothing for mo to
do but bring you into the city
Have no fear Golden that I shall
bring discredit upon you Remember
this of me whether I am an honest
man or not as you choose to call me
I will never go back upon a friend
To morrow said Golden as if
deeply thinking to show you that I
trust you I shall give jou a secret
To morrow brings many changes
To be continued
CURIOUS DEEP SEA VISION
Cephalopods Photographed by Their
Own Light in Some Cases
A French writer in a scientific
magazine tells of the great ocean
depths of 28000 to 30000 feet the
temperature tending toward zero the
perpetual darkness reigning below
depths of about 1280 feet At that
level plants deprived of light can
not exist The animal life must be
carnivorous The organs of sight not
being used have become atrophied
and disappeared
Yet there is light even in that sight
less world A German exploring
ship found a fish with enormous eyes
at a depth of 6400 feet Phosphores
cence Is common in these hollows of
the sea Sometimes special organs
flash light Sometimes the phosphor
escence is caused by a mucous secre
tion on the surface of the animal
The crustacean chrysophoriis has not
only huge eyes but luminous organs
including what are in effect a re
flector and a lens
Certain cephalopods have actually
been photographed by their own light
The luminous organs attached to the
eyes allow the animal to see its prey
The other luminous organs may per
haps be a lure to the prey The deep
sea life that swims sees The eye
less creatures are sedentary and do
not need to see Thus even in that
vast darkness there is sufficiency of
light Everybodys Magazine

DEMAND FACTS
About What You Eat
When it comes to food demand tp
know the facts about what goes into
your stomach
Not only that it is pure but that
you are not deceived in the descrip
tion of Its contents and condition
Some flaked breakfast foods that havo
thus far failed are now being adver
tised in close imitation of the Grape
Nuts advertising thinking in that way
to finally make a success of the fail
ure
But false statements of the merits
of human food will never cm earth
build up a business These flaked
foods are not pre digested They aro
not fully cooked and the starch in
them Is starch still and has not been
turned to sugar as claimed
Chemical analysis tells the truth
and the analysis of the famous chem
ists of the world show Grape Nuts tho
only prepared breakfast food in
which the starch part of the wheat
and barley has been transformed into
sugar and therefore ready for immedi
ate digestion Why is tliis true All
the thin rolled flake foods are made
by soaking the grains of wheat or
oats in water then rolling drying and
packing These operations do not
cook or pre digest the starch
Contrasted with this pretense ob
serve the care method and skill in
making Grape Nuts
The barley is soaked about one
hundred hours then it is slowly
warmed for some days and sprouted
the diastase being developed and part
of the starch turned to sugar and
later on all of it then the grains are
baked and the sprouts stripped on
Then coms grinding sifting and mix
ing with the creamy colored flour
made from white and maccaronl
wheat This mixture must be skill
fully made in right proportions Thi3
blended flour contains just the ingred
ients demanded by nature to relyaild
the soft gray substance in the nervo
centers and brain but how to make
the food easy to digest that was the
question
It certainly would not do to mix in
drugs for there is a certain failure
sure to come to the person depending
on drugs to digest food They may do
for a temporary expedient but pure
food and digestible food is the only
final resort and safe way So to
change the remaining starch part and
prepare the other elements in this
blended flour it is made up into mas
sive loaves like bread the inside be
ing dark cream color and quite sticky
to the touch These loaves are sliced
and again go through long cooking at
certain temperatures Then the rock
hard slices are each one carefully in
spected and ground ready for packing
and use having gone through 10 or 12
hours in the different operations
When finished each little granule
will show a sparkling substance on its
surface A magnifying glass will
bring it out clearer and develop little
pieces of pure dextrose sugar not
put on or poured over as the head
of a large Sanitarium once stated in
his paper thus exposing his appalling
Ignorance of food processes but this
sugar exudes from the interior of each
as the starch is slowly turned to
sugar in the process of manufacture
This kind of sugar is exactly like
what is found In the human Intestines
provided the starch of the grains po
tatoes bread rice cake etc etc has
been perfectly digested But many
are weak in that form of digestion
and yet need the starches so Grape
Nuts supplies them pre digested and
ready to go quickly into the blood
Visitors are shown freely through
the works and can follow the steps of
making Grape Nuts from the grain to
the finished product The proportions
of different kinds of flour and tho
temperatures are not disclosed and it
seems impossible for others to steal
these secrets of the makers But
purity cleanliness and skill are shown
in every corner of the immense pure
food factories People who care for
results from choicely selected food
those who want the food to rebuild
the soft gray substance in brain and
nerves that give the go the vigor the
life will understand why the imita
tors who try to copy the announce
ments about Grape Nuts have failed
In the past
Theres a reason for Grape Nuts and
a profound one
