A Physician e'ases t.is Singular Expe.
rience with Won IN of Fashion.
"My funniest patient9' said the doc
tor. "Well, that question Is something
of facer. You newspaper fellows do
ask the queerest questions"
TELL me, Doc" urged the scribe,
"about the most singular patient you
have or ever had, as the case may be-"
81 see," said the doctor, thoughCiully,
'syou are bound to stick to me like

so here goes. A certain woman who
lives on West Fifty-seventh street has a
mania for every thing extraordinary.
She is what you would call u beautiful
woman, but don't believe she has even
an apology for soul. Whether her
husband realizes the latter fact do not
pretend to say, and IL he does he has too
much pride to confess it to tha world.
We'll, this woman came to me ono morn

WORMS AS SOlL-TlLLERS.
The Wonderful Work They Perform In
West Africa. s.

The Wonderful Work They Perform In
West Africa.
The Kew Bulletin contains reportby
Mr.. Alvan Millson, the Assistant Col
onial Secretary of Lagos, on Yorubaland.
the native territory adjacent to Lagos.
After describing the wasteful system Of
cultivation employed by the natives
and the wonderful rapidity with which
the soil RECEIVERS from it, he says the
mystery is solved in simple and un-
expected manner during the dry season.
The whole surface of the ground be-
meath the grass is seen to be covered by
rows Of cylindrical worm casts. These
vary in height from a quarter OF an
inch to three inches, and exist in as
tonishing numbers. 1t is in many
places impossible to press finger upon
the ground without touching one. For
scores Of square miles they cover the
surface of the soil, closely packed, up
right, and burned by the sun into rigid
rolls Of hardened clay. The rain ulti-
mately breaks them down into fine
powder, rich in plant food and lending
itself easily to tho hoe of the farmer
On digging down the soil is found to be
drilled in all directions by countless
multitude Of worm drills, while from
thirteen iches to two feet in depth the
worms are found in great numbers in
the moist subsoil. Having carefully re-
moved the worm casts OF one season
from two separate square feet of land
at considerable distance from ono an
other, and chosen at random, Mr.. Mill
son found the weight to DO ten and
three-quarters pounds, in thoroughly
dry state. This gives a mean Of over
| five pounds per square foot and o total
of not less than 90, 233 tons of subsoil
| brought to the surface on each square
mile of cultivable land in the Yoruba
country every year. This work goes on
increasingly year after year, and to the
untiring labors Of its earthworms this
part of West Africa owes the livelihood
Of its people. Where the worms do
not work the Yoruba knows that IL is
useless to make his farm.
Estimating one square yard OF dry
earth by two .et deep as weighing half
a ton, there l., an annual movement OF
earth per square yard OF tho depth of
two feet amounting to not less than
forty-five pounds. From this it appears
that every particle of earth in each
ton Of soil to the depth of two feet is
brought TO the surface once in twenty
seven years. 1t seems more than prob
able that the comparative freedom OF
this part of West Africa from dangerous
malarial fevers is due in part at least to
the work of earthworms in ventilating
and constantly bringing to the surface
the soil in which the malarial germs
live and breed. From specimens which
Mr.. Millson has sent home it appears
that the worm belongs to new species
Of the genus siphonogaster.- Y. Sum-

Mozart's Memory.

1t is told of Mozart that when he was
fourteen years old he heard in Rome the
"Miserere of Allegri," and knowing that
it was forbidden to take or give copy
OF this famous piece he paid such atten-
ton to the music that when he reached
home he noted down the entire score.
He was enabled few days afterward to
check the copy, when he found that he
had not made single mistake. The
next day he produced such sensation
in Rome by singing the 'Miserere" at a
concert that Pope Clement XIV. re-
quested that he should be presented to
him. Thus, by his wonderful memory,
he was enabled to begin with success
his musical career.

the THIgEISG RAILWAYS


Police Kept Busy Watching Greenvilie
Grade Crossings.
The police of the Fifth precinct were
kept on the move this morning looking
after the railroads which try to take un-
warranted liberties with the streets.
About ten o'clock word was received
that the Lehigh Valley Road was about
10 lay their tracks across Linden avenue
at grade. A policeman was sent to the
scene and he found everything normal.
The Lehigh has trestles on each side OF
the street to within about forty feet of the
street line on each SIDE, but no men were
at work this morning.
Later on word was received that 200 men
were engaged Ia an industrious attempt
TO steal the upper end of Ocean avenue,
near Currie's Woods, on behalf Of the
Bergen Neck Railroad. Policemen were
sent to the scene Of this
trouble, and from headquart ers
instructions were received that
II the men at work attempted to cross
Ocean avenue without showing a permit
to stop them. Commissioner Dugan came
up in his bungy shortly afterward and
said 1t was all right as the Street and
Water Commissioners had vacated this
property for the railroad company.
The company did not intend to cross
any streets today. The men were merely
working on the Currie estate at the abut-
ments and line for the tracks.

A gang of toughs congrsgate every

midnight the gang raids the cifferent

upon and destroying the flowers Many
complaints have been made 70 the police
about this gang but nothing has ever been

Not satisfied with stealing his fruit, they
have also smashed his windows.
Il is not safe for young lady TO pass

Mary Hawkins. a good-looking young
married woman, OF Hoboken, had an ex-
perience last night which she win not

when she resented the insult the fellow
dragged her into a ditch Her cries for
help were heard BY night watchman,
and her assailant was frightened away.
Mrs. Hawkins lives at No. 43 Clinton

NEW JERSEYS CROPS.



Special to the JERSEY citg Negs.
EXPERIMENT STATION, NEW BRUINS
WICK. July 20, 1s9I.-The observers and
crop correspondents of the New Jersey
Weather Service report for the week end
ing Friday, July II, that the temperature
was generally above the average, with
light, variable winds and partly cloudy
weather prevailing. The rainfall was be-
low the average and very unevenly dis
tributed. In the northern counties il
measured from o. to 80 inch; III the
central from OILS to 1.02 inch. and in the
southern counties about LIS inch.
The week was most favorable one for
the eeppletion of the harvest and the
housing of grain. Corn, under the stimu
lating influence of warmer days and
nights, made vigorous growth. and was not
affected by the lack of moisture. On the
whole, the outlook for favorable returns
to the agriculturists of the State Is most
promising.
Professor Smith reports sweet potatoes
badly injured about Swedesboro by flea
beetles and other insects. This. and ad-
verse weather early in the season, viii
lessen the yield fully % per cent. About
Hammontou and in the sandy lands they
are much better, but have also suffe red
TO some extent. Round potatoes look
well and promise fair crop. Many are
digging now and express sat isfaction with
quality ana quantity Near oWeuesooro
and elsewhere, canteloupe vines are
dying in great numbers, the trouble ap
parently due to bacteria. Early peaches
in well cultivated orchards are very
heavily fruited and branches are break
ing where not supported. Late varieties
are not nearly so promising Bartlett
pears promise a very heavy crop, but near
Rammonton are badly hit by fire blight.
Apples look well aud promise a good
crop but unsprayed trees are far behind
those that were sprayed. Grapes are
rotiing badly except where sprayed and
there the exemption is in some cases
complete and in Others nearly SO.

MAYS LANDING, July 20, 1s91.-Abouta
year ago Adam Kaudle. Sr., wealthy
old farmer living near Franklinyille,
married a young lady of that place. Mr..
Kaudle was 70 years old, his bride being
but is.
They lived happily for some few eeks
but trouble gradually arose between the
ill-mated couple. and four months after
their marriage Kaudle caused his young
wife's arrest on several charges, one of
which was the appropriatine several hun
dre0 dollars of his money. Mrs Kaudle
retaiiated by causing her husbands ar
rest for non-support and desertion and
the strange case has been in the courts
ever since and attracted great attention.
At one time Mrs. Kaudle was placed in
prison, but released through efforts of
her friends.
Mrs. Kaudle refused to live with her
husband again and it was finally decided
to settle the difficulty by arbitration. The
arbitrators met a few days ago and
awarded Mrs. Kaudle $1,000 In considera-
tion that she sign articles of separation
and renounce all claims upon her hus-
band, which she consented TO do. Their
troubles were thus brought TO a Anal end.
