J,--A wire cage haa constructed around the **$5,000 apple tree" in the orchard of Lewis Mood, a farmer living at Ferrell, In South Harrison township, Gloucester county. Mood recently sold a branch from this particular tree, producing an entirely new variety of apple, to one of the big nursery firms of the country for whet i record, la said to be a record-bfeokiiig price Cor' this fruit The public will have to wait two years or more before It can learn very much about the Mood apple, as it (a being guarded with the greatest secrecy, indicated by the erection of the stout wire cage entirely around the tree. All that is known so far is that it is a red apple of exceptional else and sweetness. There is no other apple Just like it In thla country, so far as horticultural experts have been able to determine. To Be Tested. This new variety will be subjected tt the most exhaustive tests under varl oos climatic and soil conditions throughout the United States, befort the nursery firm which has bought it la willing to place.lt upon the market. Orchard science as applied through top badding wil make It possible to produce the new fruit in quantities large enough for. experimental purposes with la a year or two. The new apple Is purely an accident of nature, being a freak from one of die ordinary orchard varietels. Mood noticed several years ago that one o the branches of a particular tree In his orchard was bearing an apple that was different, both In color and flavor from the fruit from other limbs on the same tree. He watched this apple care fully for season after season.^ He took off some buds aad started other trees. The big red Mood apples were In such demand among his customers that last season he sold $75 worth of npp'ftB from the original tree alone. Nursery Men Interested. . A representative of a nursery c&n pany learned that the Jersey farmet had an apple that was attracting attention and he called to see Mood. "I had thought of trying to put out this new apple myself," said Mood in talking of his "find." "I put a price on the apple that I thought would keep those fel lows from pestering me about selling. They got the head of the company hen to look over the appie and to see the tree and we came to terms." Just what these terms are are se forth in, a bill of sale and a surveyor's record of the exact location of the which have been filed In the Olou ter county clerk's office at Woodbury. Even the particular branch of the tree la designated in this unusual "royalUs** *t the rat* of two each tart that la taken from inal brapch or any trees devetopoa from it. These bnds will bo graftei upon Stock to produce trees of the new variety. "Five thousand dollars seems like a big price for an apple," remarked dm well Informed nurseryman regarding Mood's sale, "but in these days a new apple of exceptional quality, color ant size is worth a small fortune to any one who has the courage and organise* Uon to iauoduce It to the natlofC* r . - , ; • : An Old Mortgage. - ^ Philadelphia--A mortgage for $690 recorded November 8, 1845--77 years ago--against the Haagen farm In Beecli Creek township, Clinton county, has Just been satisfied at the office of Register and( Recorder P.

The amount due waa paid within a year after the mortgage was given, but the transaction had never been cleared up on the books.

Fastest of All ORDEAL FOR UGANDA BRIDE Harvard Observatory Declares That 2,60<M>00 Miles R«r Hwr f« its Pate. i L0N6 KNOWN TO ASTRONOMERS of tftfe Star Was Measured at Harvard Observatory by Compll* oated Process of Observations and Computations. Oaiabridge. Mass.--Nearly 2,500,000 miles per hour, or 1,100 kilometers per second, Is the speed record set by the star RZ Cephel, which, according to a bulletin Issued by the Harvard college observatory, has been found by Harvard astronomers to be moving through space with a greater velocity than that of any other star whose speed baa yet been determined. Looks Like Wottlen's Ku KltDT Klatl Five hundred women, garbed an those In robes and masks like those worn by the Ku Klux Klan, paraded the streets of Atlanta a few night ago, refusing to give their names, but stating that they were members of a secret Protestant organization for women which is to become nation-wide In Its extent. They •aid they were Initiating their .members on top of Stone mountain, the spot Where the Ku Klux Klun was organized and where the Klan still holds its ceremonies. Every indication is that a woman's branch of the Ku Klus Klan la being organized, although the Klan denies any affiliation with it. This star, a variable star of the socalled cluster type, has long been known to astronomers, but Its velocity was never measured until recently. It Is far too faint to be seen with the naked eye, is being of the tenth magnl* tude. It is In the constellation Ce> pheus, and Is 3,800 light years distant from the earth, which means that the light from It which astronomers now see through their telescopes started on its Journey to the earth In the time of the shepherd kings of Egypt, nearly 1.900 years before Christ Velocity Is Greatest. ; That distance is only a small fraction of the distance from the earth to some of the more distant star clusters, but the outstanding fact about HZ Cephel is that Its velocity as tt flies through space Is the greatest yet known for a star. The speed, of the star was measured at the Harvard observatory by a complicated process ol observations and computations, including among j other things the comparison of photo- | graphs recently taken at Harvard with j others taken 81 years ago, when the ! observatory was Just beginning Its ; task of preserving a photographic history of the entire sky. Since that time a "sky patrol" has been kept without y I interruption at Cambridge, supplemented by photographs taken at the station at Arequipa, Peru, and the history of the stars down to the eleventh magnitude haa been written by the stars themselves on OTer 250,000 photographic plates weighing 140 tnn% 8tudy Sky Photographa. Most of the discoveries made by Harvard astronomers. It la said at Cambridge, are not made by looking through a telescope at night, as Is popularly supposed, but by doing what was done In the case of this discovery of the speed of RZ Cephel, by studying and measuring by day, In the laboratory, photographs taken at night, and by computing the significance of the changes In the brilliance or position or spectra of the stars as recorded on thes$ plates. The discovery of the immense speed of RZ Cephel is said to be important to astronomers as suggesting that this type of variable star escapes from the globular clusters, a hypothesis suggested alao by other recent observations. Custom OrttaKSS That Mrs. Newlywed , Must Weep for Eight Days Without Cessation. "The Bahuma tribesmen of°Uganda, Central Africa--literally In the very heart of Africa--are the wildest and most uncivilized people of the world. They have unusually peculiar customs. Perhaps the most interesting of these Is the mnnner in which a bride Is supposed to conduct; herself after her marriage. * To begin with, a bride Is literally dragged away from her home by her husband. Her family tie a rope around her legs and hold fast to her. Then the bridegroom pulls as hard as he can. If he cannot succeed In overpowering the strength of his bride's family they weaken their hold on the fetter and make It appear that the husband has won his tug-of-war. Then the victorious bridegroom takes his bride to the home of bis mother. The most passionate weeping Is done by the bride. She cries for eight days without stopping.

N*T«ri«HJ, MSGS 1.7,/ Old Riley Rezzidew's Remarks Not Altogether Complimentary to the Petunia Fire Fighters, "The Are alarm system of Constantinople has certain peculiarities," stated a citizen of Petunia. "A watchman stands In a tower and warns of any fire that may happen to attract his attention, calling the quarter of tewn In which it is. A fire company forthwith comes trotting to the conflagration, dragging a little engine behind them. They then bargain with the owner of the building about the fee for putting it out. In addition whatever they can carry off Is theirs." "H'm! That's the way in Constantinople, ye say?" returned old Riley Rezzidew. "Sounds a good 'eal as if you were telling o' the capers of the Torrent Fire Fighters, right here In Petunia."--Kansas City Star. v ^ COUCH? PENSION LINE IS GROWING THINNER gommissioner'e Report Shows Civil War Men Are Fading. 14,900,000 Leas Paid to Veterana Hi 1921--73 Soldiers Orawing Penfar Service in llefcl . - can War. Washington.--The American pension system cost the public $255,201,662 daring the fiscal year ended last June 80, according to the annual report of tbe commissioner of pensions. Of this amount $253,807,588 was paid out for pensions, the cost of maintenance of tbe system being $1,394,079. That the number of pensioners Is rapidly diminishing is shown in the statement that $4,908,259 less was paid in pensions during the last fiscal year than during the previous year; that 25,082 Civil war veterans died, as sgalnst 24,775 for the previous year, and that 21,259 widows died, as compared to 19,i51 the year previous. The number of pensioners on tbe rolls June 30, 11)22, was 547.016, compared with 566,053 on June 30 the preious year. Of these 193,881 were Civil war veterans; 271,194 Civil war widows; 45,955 veterans of the Spanish- American war, and 9,198 widows of j'Spanish-American war veterans. TheVe iwere 73 soldiers drawing pensions for service in the war with Mexico and 4® widows of soldiers of the war of 1812. Several Important modifications of the practice of the pension bureau were brought about during the year by departmental decisions. One decision held that a person who enlisted in the regular army subsequent to April 22, 1898, and was discharged on or before April 11, 1899, or who enlisted In the navy or marine corps after May 4, 1898. and was discharged prior to April 11, 1899, could be con sidered "a volunteer." This holding favorably affected hundreds of claims filed by widows and minors of soldiers of the Spanish-American war. In the last fiscal yeur, 190,736 pension claims were disposed of and 2,- 269,707 checks prepared and sent out. At the close of the year 82,615 claims under various pension laws were pen<l- Ing.

"The pig thus killed weighed about 25 pounds and was a mate to some other pigs that were owned by said George PH?g. which left George Plgg a pig less than he (George Pigg) had of pigs, and thus ruthlessly tore said pig from the society of George PIgg's other pigs, against the peace and dignity of the commonwealth ojE I£eiltucky."-- National Republican.
