AND THE SUN sHoNE INTO A GREAT HOLE
WHERE FORT PITCHER HAD BEEN
seyed the place where their fort lad
been, there was not one of them who had
sufficient command of himself to write a
report of what had happened. They
gazed at the bare, staring flatness of the
Bhorn bluff, and they looked at each other.
This was not war. It was something
supernatural, awful They were not
frightened; they were oppressed and ap-
palled. But the military discipline of
their minds soon exerted its force, and a
brief account Of the terrific event was
transmitted to the authorities, and Sefgt.
Kilsey was sentenced to month in the
guard house. z.
No one approached the vicinity Of the
bluff where the fort had stood, for danger
might not be over; but every possible
point Of observation within safe dis
lance was soon crowded with anxious
and terrified observers. Afeeling Of awe
was noticeable everywhere. If people
could have had a tangible idea Of what
had occurred, 1t would have been differ
emit If the sea had ragged; If vast body
Of water had been thrown into the air; If
dense cloud had been suddenly elected
from the surface Of the earth, they might
have formed some opinion about it. But
the instantaneous disappearance Of. a
great fertilization with little more ap-
preciable accompaniment than the sud-
den tap, as Of little hammer, upon
thousands of window panes, was some
thing which their intellects could not
grasp. TWAS not to be expected that
the ordinary mind could appreciate the
difference between the action Of an In
Simultaneous motor when Embedded in
rocks and earth, and its effect, when OPP
posed by nothing but stone walls, upon
or near the surface Of the earth.
Early the next morning the little fleet
of the syndicate prepared to carry out
its further orders. The waters Of the
lower bay were now entirely deserted,
craft OF every description having taken
refuge In the upper part Of the harbor
near and above The city. Therefore as
soon as It was light enough to make OBJ
servations Repeller No. / did not hesitate
to discharge motor bomb into the
harbor, a mile or more above where the
first one had fallen. This was done In
order to explode any torpedoes which
might have been put into position since
the discharge OF the first bomb.
There were very few people in the city
and suburbs who were at that hour out
Of doors, where they could see the great
cloud OF water rise toward the sky, and
behold il descend like o mighty cataract
upon the harbor and adjacent shores;
but the quick, sharp shock which ran
under the town made people spring from
their beds, and although nothing was
then to be- seen, nearly everybody felt
sure that the syndicate's forces had be-
gun their days work BY exploding an
other mine.

had been ordered to leave when the fort

Onion Culture at the South.

When reading in the Southern agrt-

were actually the case. and were there

pears by the article mentioned that
there Is no trouble in growing fine
onions in that State from the black
seed. Mr.. Stokes fertilized his soil
well and secured a crop. Is it not
possible that the trouble has rested
quite largely upon this one pointP
The onion is q strong feeder and re-
quires good soil; that is. one that
has good degree OF fertility, and if
this is not q natural condition, it must
be made SO by artificial application.
Almost any good. mellow soil, possess

plant the seed as soon as the soil Is
suitable after the departure of the
frost
At the South we should expect to be
compelled to plant as much early as
the changed conditions required. In
Georgia, for instance, planting in Feb
ruary ought to secure good crop, all
other things being equal. The onion

require the soil to be drawn up to the
plants, unless speedy bottoming is re-
quired. when we have thought that by
throwing up the soil by the use OF tina
Planet Jr. wheel. even this end was
accomplished, at the expense of size
of the bulb. Top draining is COOL,
and we have employed ashes with
good results; in fact, hardwood ashes
are an excellent fertilizer for the
onion crop under most conditions.
Successful onion culture requires
some skill. We have known the cul-
tivation, by those accustomed to the
Same, to be complete failure with
full average conditions. The onion Is

When winter approaches the
thoughtful man begins to think of the
dangers of an unventilated house in
which he Is to live, and the vast ma
jority of our houses have nothing that
can be reasonably called ventilation.
He knows that the house is to be shut
up, and that all the impurities swill
be confined; and he will not rest until
he secures such ventilation as<will
make the house as safe to live in as 1t is
In the summer when the windows and
doors are open. But there are many
who never think of the stables
In which the animals are kept Those
are closed up in winter too They
have no ventilation. and the horse is
in them a much larger proportion Of
the time than he is in summer. It re-
quires little thought to guess the re-
suit. Aud it Is not a ma ter OF wonder
that a horse that is kept in an liz
ventilated and imperfectly cared fer
stable gets sick, but it is matter Of
wonder that he does not die. There is
not universal agreement as to the
best kind OF floor to put into q stable.
But whatever the floor Is. the stable
should be kept clean. We all know
re nature of horse manure. It is heat
producing. and naturally a powerful
source of gases. To one unaccustomed
to it. the entrance into stable in
which the manure is permitted to lie

In one of the biggest law offices in

pale-faced boy whose bright eyes are
forever on the alert to detect some
thing. He doesn't care much what it
is 90 that it violates some of the rules
laid down by his employer or seems to
him to be wrong or needful of correc-
ton. His contempt for wealth and
power is unsurpassed, and he will de-
tect some slight fracture of the rules
by famous man and chide him as
quickly as though he were the poorest
client on the list ofhis employers. His
little desk Is near the entrance. and
here he sits throughout the day with
his pointed chin in his hands and his
eyes fixed upon some bloody tale of
hairbreadth escapes. But his wits are
always on edge and the fall of the
highest footstep without causes him to
prick up his ears and listen with every
fber Of his body. When the person
enters he asks:
