Weeds and Grasses. 4,

1t is law of nature that low forms of
heritage thrive on poor soils, where
higher aud better types could not exist.
Weeds abound in fields almost destitute
OF fertility fields that could not support
blade of timothy or red top. 1t IS a
rule that the growtts of rich grasses does
not depend upon sowing seeds but upon
management. Every field and pasture
Illustrates this statement: if the soil
food is bad or deficient the inferior
grasses will drive out the better kinds:
If the food is good and abundant the
good heritage will drive out their rivals.
A curious lesson has been learned at
Rothamsted as to the struggle for exist
ence OF the various species of grasses
and other plants associated together in
pasture. They live on friendly terms
on the old turf of theopen park-grass
es, clovers, crowfoots, daisies and the
rest. Nature has long since assigned
his place to each member of the com.
mon heritage. Season after season the
same plants appear, varying only in lux
urIance as the character of the season
may suit their individual habit. In
writing OF their conduct as displayed in
peace and war, we may follow Mr..
Lawes, who in conversation, describes
any freebooting plant of his domain as

seems like an exact description of these
plundering tribes. They live in har-
mony on the unmanured, open park.

A Wild Traveller Of the Skies.

In the Hacienda Miraflores, in Col
INA, recently. between ten and eleven
o'clock in the forenoon, some ladies,
while going to the baths, saw an enor-
nous @rolite, seemingly cast forth from
the sun. 1t was enveloped in dark
cloud, drew after it an immense tail,
from which sparks seintilated, and
passed through the heavens with tre-
mendous noise. The same phenomenon.
accompanied with noise very much
resembling that of an earthquake, was
observed at the same moment in the
haciendas OF Manzanilla. in Tecoman,
lxtiahuacan, Achotan and Coalmayana,
while detonations were heard along the
vast extent of coast from Manzaniila to
Tonila.. In Ixtlahuacan the people went

the world had come.-La Tos del Pa

Fatality Among Brakemen.

There is perhaps no avocation So
fraught with danger to life and limb as
that OF the brakemen on our railroads.
especially those employed on freight
trails. The general public has no con
ceptlon OF the number OF accidents that
OCCUR on the various railroads through
out the United States every day. It is
estimated that there are at least ten
brakemen killed throughout. the coun-
try every. day, making $3.50 during the
year. Then there are about twice that
number who are injured in various WAYS
while on duty, making the sum total of
death and injuries about 10, 600 year.
Some OF the accidents may be attribute
BILE to the carelessness of the conn anies;
others to negligence of the employees
themselves, but by far the greater num-
Der are unaveidable.s Some are killed
or manned by trains jumping the track
and going over embellishments or bridges;
others are injured while coupling cars
and making up trains, while Others re-
ceive injuries by being knocked from
the tops of cars by bridges, and Slip
ping anG falling from the icy cars in the
winter. Many are hurt in collisions,
but these accidents may usually be
attributed to carelessness either on the
part OF employers or employees. - :
The reportar was told by railroad men
that only about twenty-five per cent. of
the brakemen of freight trains die a
natural death; also that the average life
OF the brakeman, after he goes on the
road. is about ten years. The same gen.
tleman also said that owing to the pre-
seriousness of a brakeman's life, insur-
ance companies would not take risks on
their lives. To verify this statement
the scribe called ON several insurance
agents. The first one approached said:
We don't take risks on employees on
freight trains. Our company lAkes pol
icies on conductors and brakemen on
passenger trains. but charge them ex-
ira. Brakemen we charge one per cent.
extra and conductors one-half per cent.

Why. viii you insure men on pas
senger trains and not those on freight |
trains~ asked the reporter. |
Men on passenger trains have a
great many lives intrusted to their
care, and consequently have greater
responsibility resting on them, and are
more careful than freight men, and
hence are not so liable tomeet with &C

s~H.. No, we never had and insure but

Thereporter talked with a number Of
insurance men and they confirmed the
above statements. Some will not take
risks on any person employed ON trains,
while others will insure employees of
passenger trains, but as stated above
will charge them extra. Pittsburgh
