A New Lightning Rod Swindle.

Farmers along the Hudson are being
victimized by a new style of lightning
rod swindle. The agent induces the far
mer to let him put rods on his house,
agreeing, on account OF the prominence
of the farmer or the beauty of his farm
house, to make him present of nearly
the entire outfit. The contract is signed,
rods put up without insulators, and the
farmer invited to go on the roof to test
the conducting qualities. A battery is
applied from the ground, and the country
man is thoroughly satisfied with the
shock he receives. Then comes the re-
quest to settle. The rods are all right a.
to price. but points to attract the light
ming cost SO each, and the farmer, who
has not read the contract through before,
learns that he is bound to pay from $50
to S120 for set of worthless lightning
rods.

PAPER MAKING,

"Few persons imagine how many diff
ferent substances have been used OF late
years in the making of paper. Rags, OF
course, still furnish the bulk of our paper,
but" says an exchange, Large quanti-
ties are also made of wood, straw and Els
parto grass (Stipa tenacissima), and in
various parts of the world successful eX-
periments have been made with multi.
tude of materials that have not yet beer
brought into general use. In France
paper has been manufactured out OF
leaves, which are cut, pressed into blocks,
and then stepped in lime water to reduce
them to pulp. In Ireland the mallow,
the hop vine, the yellow iris, and even
the red clover, have furnished paper
pulp, and in Scotland the stems of the
hollyhock, peat, bracken, flags and rnshes
of several kinds. Seaweed and tan have
also been used in Europe, and in the
East ramie. pineapple fibre, BAMBOO
stalks and the refuse of sugar cane"

To Be Placed on the Witness
Stand Again Monday
Morning.

Judge HOoker's court room was
crowded yesterday morning when the
Colon case was called. and large por-
ton of the audience was composed of
ladies.
The state moved to strike out
the testimony of the witness
given the day before when he
testified that as he gave the deeds of
his property to Mr.. Farnham he said:
al give you these deeds with the under
standing that Mr. Btaisdell is to borrow
the money and pay my notes.
The testimony was finally allowed to
stand and the witnSSS resumed his teSti-
mon V. He said:
Il signed nearly all the deeds Friday
night. That afternoon Mr.. Blaisdell
and | went out to look at my property.
We went to Merriam Park. ! showed
him the property in detail and also a
list of my Indebtedness. | told him
that did not like the way Chamberlain
was acting. and that he wanted a full
list of nv notes. | said they footed up
over $500, 900. He said: Gosh, Frank,
you mustn't give that out as it will spoil
my credit
I'VE had then reached the Merriam
Park property. As we drove TO Univer-
sity avenue he preached the same sub
feet again. He said, IF there's that
amount of paper out there must be some
other arrangement. l can't take care
of it ALL | will take care of the Cham
berlaln notes and your folks must take
care of the rest l said, we must take
care of it all; the creditors know you
are worth a good deal more than these
notes, and we must pay them He said
] ought to do more, as he had signed to
help me. / said, If you will let me
take this whole list to Mr.. Chamberlain
] will then see what my folks can do
He said he was willing to secure Mr..
Chamberlain; and would take care of the
others If ne had to. After discussing
the matter further let him out at the
Boston block.
THAT list has been introduced here
in evidence. l think my property is
worth 100000 more than my indebted
ness"
