A Bank Janitor,s Conirirancc.

A most ingenious invention for till
tapping was accidentally discovered to-
day in the National State Bank of Eliz-
abeth, N. j. The contrivance has been
in operation about year, and has net
ted the inventor S1.976. Frank New.
comb, the paving teller, while standing
at his desk this morning, heard Pc
culiar noise in his cash-drawer. He
saw black object moving in it, and
thinking it was mouse, shut the drawer
quickly. but, remembering that if it
were mouse it would gnaw the bank
notes. he opened the drawer again. and
found that in slamrningit it he had broken
q slender cord. He took it out. and
saw that attached to it was fiat piece
of lead, shaped like seal, and on the
lower surface was a piece of shoema-
ker's wax, to which was attached o
$50 bill. Investigation showed that
within half an hour no less than thir-
teen bills, aggregating $3.50, had been
taken from the drawer. This cleared
up mystery which had made much
trouble, and had caused two paying
tellers to resign because they could not
make their accounts balance. The jan
itor, George w. Ackermqn, alias Ben
nett, was suspected and arrested. He
confessed that he had stolen the money,
md explained how the device was ar
ranged. There is a gas pipe hole in the
HoOr which has never been plugged,
and which was Immediately under the
cash drawer. Over the center of the
drawer and directly into the bottom of
the counter had been turned a screw
ring, and another had been turned into
the face of the counter, so that cord
running through both would work at
right angles to itself, and without a
sound. The lead was fastened to the
end of the string inside the ring over the
drawer and to another string by which
it could be pulled back to the hole in
the floor. The janitor sat in tie cellar
and worked the apparatus by sound,
which told him when the paying teller
had stepped away from his desk.
Every night the money was taken from
the drawer, which was left open, and
this gave Bennett the opportunity to
arrange his device. Bennett has been
ianitor of the bank for many years.
He was taken before Justice and was
committed for trial.-N. Y. Special.

Nitrate of Soda.
cUltu1'iSt.

Nitrate of soda is the source from
which large part of the nitrogen used
in fertilizers is derived. 1t is the most
valuable form in which we can use
nitrogen, because it is soluble and sup
plies to plants the nitric acid and the
soda which they require in form in
which these can be quickly absorbed
and assimilated. No other fertilizer has
so quick and perceptible an action upon
vegetation. An enormous quantity of
it is used in agriculture. Indeed, as an
article of commerce for this use it is of
such great Importance as TO have led to
one of the bloodiest wars of modern his
tory, and to the practical wiping OF of
considerable nation from the face of
the earth. Peru, which owned the
largest deposits of this substance in the
world, has been despoiled of them by
its victorious and jealous neighbor,
Chill. and now lies disorganized and
paralyzed at the feet of her conqueror,
while the latter takes an early opportuni-
ty to realize upon the spoils by offering
to the eager and waiting purchasers a
million tons of the nitrates with which
to supply the markets. This salt, which
is so soluble that it melts to liquid in
a damp atmosphere. is composed of
nitric acid and soda, and has been pre-
served in its beds in the soil by reason
of the complete dryness of the climate
How these deposits were formed is not
known, but it is scarcely to be doubted
that they are not of mineral origin

Cultivate frogs, toads and lizards.
Put them in your gardens, and as the
evening approaches they win hop from

1t is said, and we see no reason to
doubt it, that if cucumber vine is
trained to run up stake or which o

occupy less space but are afforded op-
portunity TO follow their natural habit

To Know Ripe Water Melons: The
Christian I'atel5tgeacer saws that when
the melon begins to change color in
side, and its seeds turn black, a small
speck, scale or blister begins to appear
on the outer circle or rind. These are
multiplied and enlarged as the fruit :na.
lures. A ripe melon will show them
thickly over the surface. A partial de-
velopment only indicates half-ripened
fruit A full crop of blisters reveals its
perfect ripeness.
"A farmer of my acquaintance, whose
business is chiefly raising hogs, had one
acre of artichokes two or three years
ago; he now has six acres and talks of
planting four more. He says that in
some years one acre of artichokeS is
worth three of corn, and that small
piece, according to the number of hogs,
viii any year be worth the same area of
corn. Some use the tops as feed; horses
and cattle both seem to relish them

S0rghum.Sugar.

The manufacture of sugar from
sorghum has recently received fresh
impetus, owing to the great number of
experiments which have been made
with view of discovering some pro-
cess bv which good sugar could be
guaranteed. Within the past year
there have been at least four scientific
gentlemen engaged in per:ecting ma
chinery and testing various ways of
extracting the Juice of the cane in such
manner as to remove all substances
which have prevented Northern
sorghum-growers from being success
full in years past. Two processes have
been patented, and it is now asserted
that a first-class article of merchantable
sugar can be made from sorghum. A
practical illustration OF the fact will be
afforded undoubtedly during the pres
ent year. and if the Objectionable mat
ter can be separated from fle juice
while in course of manufacture. the
growth of sorghum and the manufact-
ure OF sugar will eventually become
great industry.
Upland clay or sandy soil is better
adapted to cane culture than loamy or
bottom lands On low lands the cane
is more prolific, but the uplands make
up in excellence of quality what they
lose in quantity. There is nothing diff
ficuit in growing cane. Anybody who
can successfully grow Indian corn can
grow sorghum cane, and with improved
methods and machinery the profit on
cane growing will be much greater
than on corn. The cost of raising an
acre of corn is not far from eight dol
lars, and as question of fact the fod-
der for ensilage purposes. is more valu-
able than an equal quantity of CORD
fodder.
Small farmers will raise capc and ss-
tempt to make their own sugar. but n
this they will find no profit. 1t calinot
be long before large central mills are
built, where the growers can get their
cane ground. and when these MILLS are
once successfully started the advocates
of sorghum culture look for great re-
sults.-Chicago Tribane.
