IT is said by those who nave tried it
that dressing of gypsum spread over
frostbitten plants early in the morning
will do much to prevent injury by
changing the frost TO a fine dew. The
gypsum will at least help shield the

sun.

A iong lecture on bicycles and trey
cles in theory and practice. delivered st
the Royal Institution in London. by
MIR. G. Vernon Boys, must have con-
vinced his hearers that these vehicles
involve about as many interesting apph-
cations of mechanical science as any in
vention of recent times. The lectur l
did not believe that the use of bicycles
and tricycles would give rise to new
class of diseases, As some medical Men
have predicted, but said bus own exper-
ience in this form of exercise had given
him an improved appetite, increased
weight and a general robustness pre-.
viously unknown to him.

Interesting Facts.

The Chicago, Rock Island and PACING
Railway occupies an exceptionally strong
position among the railroads OF the country,
in the fact, that its terminal points and the
leading cities ON its route, embrace almost
all the great commercial cities OF the CEN
trail west and northwest. When we name
Chicago, Peoria, Rock Island, Davenport,
Muscatine, Keokuk, Iowa City, Des Moines,
Kansas City, Leavenworth. Atchison,
Council Bluffs, Omaha, Cedar Rapids,
Minneapolis and st. Paul, there are but few
places Of importance remaining ia the won
derfully fertile belt of country between the
lakes and the Missouri river and the Upper
Mississippi, which "The Great Rock Island
Route" does not reach.
The above explains why ii can better than
any other line give choice of routes to the
Rocky Mountain resorts, the famous Cali
fornia retreats and natural wonders and
the National Yellowstone Park. TO meet
the demand for low rates Of fare to those
noted points and the Sanitarium OF ColfaX,
Iowa, health giving Spirit Lake and Mime
tonka, round trip tickets have been placed
on sale at all principal ticket offices IN the
United States. These offices have also been
supplied with time tables, maps, and our
illustrated Tourist Book of the northwest.
