Anti-nEnlarlaI Plants.

Some years ago great expectations were
mcited by the claims which were made that
the eucalyptus globulus would Danish mo
laria from the land, If only planted in
abundance In malarious regions. Extensive
plantations were accordingly made, but, SO
far as known, the result was total failure.
DR.. Brandes, of Hanover, now advocates,
with similar object in view, the growth of
the anacharis alsinastrum, a water plant
which is exceedingly common in some sec
lions of the country. He bases his PROPOSE
lion upon the fact that in the district where
he lives feyers of q malarial type were very
prevalent until this water plant was intro
duced, and that they diminished from year
to year until four years ago, when they en-
tirely disappeared, and have not since re-
turned. As the anacharis ia easily obtained
and grows spontaneously, requiring no at
tention, the experiment can be easily tried
in mafshy districts where malaria prevails-

Two Barring yais.zsreaksrs.

Frank Whiting and Charles Ravens, two
conyicts Of Michigan City, lately made
their third unsuccessful attempt to escape
from the Northern Penitentiary. Both
have been wearing ball and chain
but managed to file these of and at
$3.50 one morning, when switch engine,
which had been at work inside the walls,
started to pull out through the north gate
the two men suddenly broke from their
work benches, knives and hammers in hand
and ran down stairs past the second floor
% the ground, reaching there just as the
ingine came along. The fireman was alone
in the cab. Whiting jumped on and,
Selling the fireman by the throat, threw
him to one side, while he pulled the throttle
wide open. Ravens had crowded into the
cab in the meantime and the fireman jump
ed of. When the engine was within ten feet
OF the gate, and running at a rapid rate of
speed, guard stationed on the wall shot
Whiting through the heart, killing him
instantly.
Ravens chung to the engine until we'll
outside, when he jumped and started for q
cornfield, with guard close upon him.
Ravens ankle had been spraincd in jump
ing and finding himself unable to get away
he turned fercely upon the guard and was
shot in the head, the bullet glancing around
his skull and only slightly stunning him.
He was lockedup. The engine was caught
BY yardman and stopped. Whiting and
Ravens, although both under Is years of
age, were the most desperate characters In
he penitentiary.
