on the American continent are those on
the Burlington route, leaving from Union

west. The first and second class coaches
are magnificent, the reclining chair cars

luxuriant, and rs for the meals that are
served in those palace Burlington dining

IL YOU mention To the ticket agent that you
want your ticket to read from Denver or

IT,
If you go via the Northern or Canadian
Pacific, the elegant NeStihule trains OF
The Burlington Route, between St. Paul

The Polaris Clock.


On the desk of Edison B. Brace,
chief clerk of the bureau of equip
ment and recruiting in the navy de-
partment, is a little rosewood case,
bound and inlaid with brass and
bronze. 1t is in the form of a cube,
about eighteen inches high, and
contains a chronometer such as is
used on all naval vessels. This lit
tie instrument has quite tragic his
tory, says the Washington Star, and
is held of considerable value. 1t was
the ships chronometer of the unfor-
tunate Polaris, that was sent out on
an arctic expedition by the navy lie
partment III 1871. When the Polaris
was nipped in the ice, Capt. Hall
saved this insti ument and several
other thin9s from the vessel. AS
long as Capt. Hall survived he kept
the chronometer with him. When
he pe?,.shed it was buried in the arc
tic SHOWS and abandoned. This was
some time in 1872. For four winters
it lay buried in the snow and ice.
Ia 1876 Capt. Mares Of the British
navy, now Sir George Mares, then
in command of the last royal ex-
petition to the, arctic region, dis
covered this chronometer at New
mans bay. He dug it out of the
snow and took it to England with
him on his return. 1t had then
been buried in the snow for four
years in u region where the mercury
sinks to lO4 degrees below freezing
point. 1t was found to be in perfect
order, and was wound and ran all
ria ht as soon as taken from its cold
bed. On returning to England,
Capt. Mares turned the instrument
over to the British admiralty office,
from whence it was sent as present
to this government. With all this
experience it loses only a single Sec
ond in "a hours.

POTATO RoT PREcArrIoN.

Many potatogrower who naturally
expected, and ought to have, 200 bushels
per acre, write Professor Byron d. Hal
sted, in the New York Tribune, finds the
yield less than 100 bushels of second-rate
tubers, some of which are decayed and
many more Affected disheartening out
come largely due TO excessive growth of
a fungus that first attacked the upper
leaves, and from there rapidly passed
into the stems and down to the tubers.
This mildew is so small that when seen
in quantity it appears like frosty cover
ing on the surface of the decaying leaf
In a short time the vines become affected,
turn brown and die, after which there
can be no further growth of tubers. |
find many large fields thus prematurely
dead. The soil is loaded with water
by recent heavy rains-a condition most
favorable for decay of the potatoes. 1t is
therefore evident (the mildew being
lover of moisture) that the tubers should
be removed from the soil and kept dry
and cool. 1t will be well to leave the
potatoes on the ground long enough to
dry off completely, after which they may
be stored where they will not be covered
with any moisture. A good way, until
cold weather comes, would be to place
them in an airy loft or barn, either in
thin layer on a dry floor or in shallow
bins. A sprinkling of air-slaked lime,
handful to bushel, may be applied when
placed in the bin to kill any germs that
may be on their surface. The vines
should have been burned before the po-
tatoes were dug. Frequent visits should
be made 10 the storage-room and any de-
caying tubers removed before they con
taminate surrounding potatoes. Pota-
toes this year are likely to be high h-priced,
and will repay the extra care here recon-
mended A damp, warm, close cellar
would be sure to furnish the conditions
that would result in decay. I

For several years there has been domi-
ciled at the Monterey County Hospital in
California, an Indian known by the name
of "Old Gabriel" As to the exact day,
month or year of his birth, proof is want
ing; but of the fact that he has passed
the wonderful age of $50 years there is a
quantity of evidence. He was born in
Tulare County, but during childhood re-
moved to the town of Monterey. Father
Junipero Sierra arrived in Monterey in
1f70, and it is well authenticated that ut
that time Gabriel was a grandfather Tie
youngest age at which an Indian married
was fifteen years. If Gabriel followed
the custom and married at that age, he
would necessarily have been at least thirty
two or thirty-three years old to have been
a grandfather at the time of Father ,uni-
peros landing there. Father Junipero
taught Gabriel the art of cutting and lay
ing stone, and at the time of building the
first chapel, in the years 1771 and 1772,
Gabriel assisted in the construction of the
walls. He became so expert at his trade
that he managed the construction of the
San Antonio Mission in 17S1. He then
married his second wife. Father Sorren-
TIM, the priest, and Bishop Amat reached
Monterey some time in the year 1S45.
The former says that Old Gabriel was
then living with his sixth wife, and he
was by many years the senior of all the
old inhabitants. He was then known by
the same name, and was said to be at that
time over 10 years of age.
A widely known old lady by the name
of Castro, who died five years ago at the
age of ninety-five, in testifying to Old
Gabriel's age, said that when a child she
saw him and that time he had children
several years older than she was
Gabriel remained at Old Capitol until
a few years ago, when he removed to
Salinas Valley, where he has lived ever
since. Up to within two or three years,
he was a familiar figure ON the streets of
