Wooden OvercOHt.

In this inventive age new uses of common
things are continually being discussed When
car wheels are made Of paper, and paper ia
made OF wood, it is impossible to predict what
will be done next. 1t was in what we already
begin to think Of es ''old times,n however,
twenty-five years ago-that the wooden over
coat was invented; during what is still called
''the war"
According to the historians of the Fifty
first Pennsylvania regiment, Col Hartrenft
-afterward Governor Hartranft-made use
of it, although it is not clear that he was the
actual inventor of it.
Its construction was simple, and, as will be
seen, it was not intended for comfort but for
discipline. 1t consisted of barrel with the
head knocked out, and hole cut in the bot
tom big enough fer a mans head to pass
through.
One day soldier had been guilty of break
ing guard and going of to town, and on get
ting back was arrested and put into an
''overcoat"-that is to say, a barrel prepared
in this manner was slipped over his head, and
ne was compelled for certain time to wear
it.
Pretty soon one of his comrades came
along, eating an apple.
Give NE one, Satu une man IN the barrel.
but when the other man offered him one, a
difficulty arose. The prisoners arms were
not SO long as the barrel, and were under it.
An apple in his hand might as well have been
at the bottom of the sea. But hunger spur
red his ingenuity.
'Put it on top Of the barrel" said he.
Then he began to twist his body this way
and that to make the apple roll about until it
should come within reach OF his mouth
Before this was accomplished, however, he
hit his toe against stone OK root and hav-
ing no use of his arms, over he went, and
rolled into a ditch. His helplessness may be
imagined; he could not stir until his fellow
soldiers set him up again.-Y Youths Compan-

he will consume an entire day.
Judge Wing will open the case
for the defense and Mr.. Ingraham
will follow with analysis Of testimony on
behalf of the state. He will be followed
by Mr.. Donahue, who will plead for
O'Sullivan and kunze. Mr.. Hines will
follow with an exhaustive argument for
the state, consuming probably couple of
days. Mr.. Foster will probably follow
Mr.. Hines in an argument on behalf of his
client, Beggs, after which Mr.. Forrest will
review the entire case for the defense His
argument will consume three days. Luth-
er Latin Mills will then enter upon the
whole case in an argument in which he
will review the entire case as unit and
will probably consume two days in his
argument. Judge McConnell's charge to
the jury will follow and the indications
are that the jury will not have the case be-
fore Tuesday the 10Th or the 18th of De-

IN SEVEN ROUNDS.
MCCARTHY Wins the Featherweight Over
Nolan.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-About 200 leading
club men of this city witnessed the prize
fight to finish tonight between Cal Nc
Carthy. of jersey City, and Mike Nolan, OF
England, for the featherweight champion
ship of the world. Mccarthy, who is %
years old, stands 5 feet four inches, weighs
115sl; Nolan Is twenty years old, stands D
feet inches and weighs 1l6.
Nolan did all the rushing while McCar-
thy simply lodged his blows. McCalt thy let
his opponent wind himself but tried a
knock out blow whenever he saw an open
ing. In the sixth round Nolan again
forced the fighting and followed it up TO a
great advantage Mccarthy saw it was do
oridie, SO he braced up and fought his man
almost to standstill. La fact he was SO
deeply interested in doing his man that he
paid no attention to the cali Of time, but
ran after his man and hit him on the face
while he was returning to his corner
Foul was claimed but not allowed.
The seventh and last round lasted
just one minute and three seconds; both
men forced the fighting. Mccarthy ended
the battle by swinging left handler on
Nolan's jaw, filling his mouth with his
teeth. Nolan was knocked out, but threw
up one hand for Mccarthy to stop and
spit his teeth out into the other. Ike
fight was then given to Mccarthy. 1t
took place on barge near New York on
the Hudson.

Moisture of,he Earth.

The bulletin of the Storrs school agri'
cultural experiment station contains de
tailed accounts Of experiments on the
effect of tlllage on soil moisture. light
deep caves were Il lied with different
kinds OF soil. Some had the surface
stirred to recorded depths and others
were let alone. All were repeatedly
tested for loss of water by evaporation.
The S inning mp, which follows detailed
figures, is as follows: "The lesson which
these experiments illustrate, and others
explain moe fully, is the value OF sur
fac { llage. 1t is not simply for the sake
OF killing weeds that the farmer hoes his
corn. Weeds are his enemies, but drought
IS worse, and the moisture is often in
suific ent for full yield ever when no
drought S apparent. The soil has re.
serve stores of water for his crop, but in
summer the supply gets low, and the
same lore of cap llarity which brings
1t up to where the roots OF his plant can
get It, carries it past them to the surface,
where the suns heat ,hanges it to vapor
and winds bear ii away Hoeinp and
cultiSating loosen the upper layer of the
soil. The pores through which the water
Is drawn up are thus enlarged, and the
connection between them is broken:
capillary action is consequently hindered
ana less water passes through. AT the
same time more air enters, and the
loosened layer conducts less heat to the
soil beneath. The loosened layer acts as
a cooler, while it prevents the water
from reaching the surfa c. and thus in a
twoinld name protects the rising
moisture from evaporation. In this way
the wise oultivatoT uses the forces OF
nature to bring wate- TO the roots of the
plants and at the same time to prevent
ITS passing by them and escaping into
a AR. The water is freighted with
plant o part of it d ssolved from the
SOIL about the roots and part deprived
from the air above. so the crops are
nourished and the yield to the land in
creased.
