The Electrical Unit and Equivalent
In Horsepower.
In the electrical world one hears
and reads a great deal about
The current is measured
watts, the machinery is rated by
watts and lamps burn by watts. To
the ordinary layman all this
of watts is mystifying.
The to whom we owe the
idea of the horsepower was a Scot-
inventor, James Watt, and
when the electric unit involving the
idea of working capacity came to be
formulated the name of Watt was
chosen to indicate this unit, just as
that of Volta hat given us the term
volt and Faraday the farad.
Watt considered that, taking the
average, a London dray horse was
capable of doing the work of lifting
pounds through one foot of
gravity. Tho introduction of this
time the minute, gave the
unit of power, or rate of performing
work. This or its equivalent has
ever since been called a horsepower.
The electrical unit called the watt
is capable of being represented in.
terms of the horsepower, and in J- P. and Mayors
that form it is perhaps more
risible to those who familiar
with mechanical rather than with
electrical expressions

day-Practical Results of
Much Importance
In View.
As a result of the institute
work conducted in Pitt county by
the Department of Agriculture
the past summer and during
morning and afternoon sessions
in Greenville Monday, the
interests of the section
are likely to be advanced in three-
important particulars. A grow-
sentiment in favor of road
improvement will receive sub-
encouragement through
the availability of a department
road engineer; local problems
relating to the production of our
leading crops are to be definitely
ascertained and investigated
through the location in the
of a department
and th; prospects are that
by the end of the year the county
will hive a demonstration
such has proved so popular
and efficient in r sections in
bringing the farmer into closer
touch with tho spirit, aims, and
methods of the Department of
Agriculture. These things can
fail to materialize only through
the indifference of Pitt county
farmers; which is to say that they
are assured.
These institutes, secured for
this section by Congressman
John EL Small, serve their great-
est purpose when working along
the particular lines suggested by
local conditions; that cf Monday
for instance, answering some
special needs of the greatest to-
producing county in the
United States. Prefacing the
regular program, Mr. Small re-
to the wonderful benefits
derived from the State depart-
of agriculture or
stations, and the
greatest co operation between
these and the national depart-
The fact that so many of
our people are directly interested
in agriculture had led him to
repeated studies of these
with the inquiry as to how
they might best accomplish the
purpose of serving our
interests; from which,
coupled with facts of observation
among farmers, he had concluded
that the greatest benefit might
result from bringing the depart-
of agriculture to the people
rather than by trying to bring
the people to the department.
If any farmer lame to this

of which would make the
services of a department road

He said that the department
might send men here to talk, but
unless this talk resulted inaction
little good would come of it.
He hoped three results from
this meeting, and it was with
the people of Pitt county whether
these results are to be realized.
He wanted the county to have

I e wanted a tobacco man from
the Department of Agriculture
to come here and take up prob-

He hoped the people of the
would take the necessary-
steps to procure these valuable
aids to our agricultural progress.
On motion a resolution was

On his first to after
he reached the capital city, he told
of the wonderful plant and asked
of the czar to present to
m the specimens which he had.
The czar graciously granted bis re-
quest and gave the roots to the
court gardener, who promised to
give the plants his beet attention
but unfortunately before he could
plant them properly as he intended
he was taken suddenly ill and died
without having accomplished any-
thing. . .
Another gardener was appointed.
In the meantime the roots lay in toe
sack in which they were first placed.
The new gardener, not knowing
their value, threw the sack away,
and It unheeded in a of

The plant in after put out a

not known i any one save the wife

child planted it.
Years passed, and still the strange
plant, with its thick, long, straight

not bloom, but as it grew taller it
attracted notice, and the new czar
sometimes looked at it and wonder
if it would ever bloom.

THE MALAYS.
Die- Seem to Be Governed by
Their Superstitions.
Malays will resort to any and
conceivable pretext to avoid
paying money on Friday. They be-
e that if they pay their debts on
this day they will overtaken by
poverty and want. Tuesday and
Saturday they consider generally
unlucky days, and if they shave or
cut their nails on either of these
days thereafter they will always be
in trouble and will perhaps die soon.
The Malay never sleeps in the after-
noon because of the fear that to
waste the hours of daylight tends to
shorten life. If a Malay finds his
clothes to have been bitten by a
rat lie is sure that it signifies bad
luck, and if he can possibly afford it
the clothes are given away in the
name of charity. There is a species
of bird called in the Malay country
which lives in the fields
and does not build a nest. It is be-
that whoever obtains a
neat will become invisible by
placing it on his head. Of course
the Malays believe there is such a
nest hidden away somewhere.
The Mains always abstain from
taking food during an of tho

careful about their baths, so as to

ART OF DENTISTRY.
N Wu by the
Thousand of Ago.
It will many persons to
learn that fake teeth, gold caps and
fillings and dental bridges are by
no means modern creations. Six
thousand ago and probably
long before the dawn of Creek
the skill of the dentist had
reached a high of perfection.
Cicero in his treatise
ascribes the invention of
tooth drawing to Aesculapius, third
of that name. The first mention of
dentistry, according to tho British
Medical Journal, is found in
ho in several parts o
writing has a good deal to say
about toothache. From tho
the art its way to the
Etruscans. At the international
congress hold Borne in 1900
exhibited several
specimens of dental art which prov-
ed that something very much akin
to bridge work was practiced in an-
Italy so efficiently that it
lasted thirty centuries.
Artificial crowns have also been
found in tomb-.
dentures go back to a remote
antiquity. Or.
in the museum of the University
Ghent there is a set of artificial
teeth found in a tomb at
with jewels and vase.-. lie
gives their date as from live to six
thousand years before Christ.
In a collection antique surgical
apparatus made by Dr.
there is an artificial denture found
in a tomb at near Thebes.
which is believed to belong to the
third or fourth century before the
Christian era. Teeth stopped with
gold have been found in
tombs. In the temple of Apollo at
Delphi there was, act to Era-
a nephew of Aristotle and
physician to king
of Syria, B. C, a leaden
which was used in
of teeth. Obviously
of lead could have been used
for loose teeth.
In the laws of the twelve table,
made by the
B. C. it was expressly forbidden
to bury or burn gold with dead bod-
except when used for wiring the
teeth. In the construction of false
teeth recourse was had by the an-
to bone and horn. Some-
times human teeth were employed.
Benson found in some
made of sycamore.
In the first century of our era false
teeth were very common among the
Romans.
Dentistry shared in the decay of
the arts during the middle ages,
and we read that when St.
died in although he was only
he had but one tooth in
the upper jaw. French surgeons,
notably Pare, took a lead-
part in the revival of dentistry
Louis dentist used only in-
of gold in operating on
the teeth of his august patient.
From the time of Pare onward the
highest dentistry was in the hand
of surgeons, extraction being left
barbers and quacks.
DEATH.
A Trick to by Animal, to
Shun Enemies.
The I death by certain
animals for I purpose of
their enemies and thus
immunity is one of the greatest
of the many evidences of their in-
ratiocination. This
is not confined to any
family, order OX species of
but exists in many, from tho
very lowest to the highest. It is
found even in the vegetable king-
the well known sensitive plant
being an interesting example. The
action of this plant Is partly reflex,
as can be proved by observation and
experiment, and is not therefore a
process of intelligence.
An experimenter, writing in Win-
sen fur say, that he has seen
the feigning of death in some of
the lowest animals known to sci-

killed food to carrion. They will
not touch tainted melt when they
can procure fresh; hence when they

dead they will leave it alone and go
in search of other quarry unless
they are very hungry. Tainted
are dangerous to gel into
the stomach. Certain ptomaines
render it sometimes very poison-
Long year- of experience have
taught fact to animals, and
therefore- most of them let dead or
seemingly dead creatures no.
Bank of England
When a Bank of England note re-
turns to the bank it is never re-
issued, says Tit-Bits. It is canceled
by having the signature of the chief
cashier torn off. A day's signatures
thus detached often amount to a
weight of twenty pounds, so some
idea may be gathered of the
quantity of notes dealt with
in a day's business. After the
are torn off tho notes are
pricked in the register and sort-
ed into the dates of They
are than placed in boxes in the
vaults, where they are kept for five
years, after which they are burned

no longer causes us to
swelter and sweat at our daily
grind in the editorial treadmill,

And leaves the door ajar.
