A Dolls Graveyard.

Living in Oakland is five-year-Old
miss with a grewsome idea in regard to
playthings. In the yard of her mothers
house she has a grave which she looks
after as carefully as a mother does her
only sons last resting place. Several
weeks ago she asked her mamma if
baby dolls died and what became of
them. Being answered in the negative
she said she was sorry, as she would
like to have dead dolle.'
Several days later she sat one of her
dolls on the sill and purposely allowed
it to fall from the window to the
ground Poor doIlie's head was cracked
by the drop of ten feet, and the five
year-old Immediately declared it was
dead. She then got some kitchen
utensils, and, unseen by any member
Of the family, she dug a grave along
side the fence in the shade of an old
apple tree. She made the grave about
Is by 4 inches, and the top of it about
II inches above the surrounding
ground Twice every day since then
she visits the small mound 80 fix it
up" Yesterday afternoon, about the
time loving hands were placing flowers
and watering the plants on graves Of
relatives in the different cemeteries in
and around the city, the little girl was
arranging flowers on the dolls grave.
Around the edge she placed white
lady SLIPPERS " and in the center laid a
small cross of red carnations. From a
washstand she secured an oblong piece
of white marble, which she stuck in
the ground at the head of the grave,
after vainly trying to make marks on
it giving the dolls name, age at death,
etc. She says she is going to have a
regular graveyard, and will invite other
little girls to bury their dead dolls it it.

PhOtographing Specters.

1t is possible that the famous spectel
of the Broken may yet have its photo
graph taken, and so become familiar
to thousands who have never seen the
mysterious shade itself 1t is known
that the SO called specter is simply the
shadow of a person standing upon the
mountain, projected upon the surround
ing mist.
Two or three years ago Professor
Hazen, while making meteorological
observations on the summit of Mount
Washington, used to amuse himself by
causing the specters of night visitors to
the observatory to appear in the mist
enveloping the peak.
For this purpose it was only neces-
sary to so place a light as to cast the
shadow of a person upon the foggy
cloud ahead of him.
Sometimes a gigantic specter was
produced with startling distinctness,
although never any equaling the phe-
nomenon seen from the Broken, where
the conditions are peculiarly favorable
Recently Mr.. A. W. Clayden has re-
ported to the Royal Meteorological So
ciety the results of similar experiments
made by him in the London fog of last
February. He succeeded in raising his
own specter by placing a lime light be
hind his head. Then he photographed
the specter. COMPANION.

pertinent Stations.
During the past twoyears experiments
in corn culture begun by Professor j. w.
Sanborn, at the Missouri station, have
been continued by Mr.. II. j. Waters the
assistant agriculturist. From the Ia
bles given it appears that the early
maturing varieties gave an average oil the
smallest yield of corn and fodder. the
shortest stalks and the smallest proper
ton of stalk to ear The medium ma
turing varieties averaged the largest
yield Of corn, while the late maturing
varieties gave the largest amount Of
fodder. the highest stalks and the great
est yield of stalks in proportion 10 ears.
In this respect similar results were OBJ
tanned at the Illinois station
In fertilizers, barnyard manure gave
an increase, from the use of equivalent
to ten loads per acre, of 30 per cent. for
the first year and SO per cent. for the
second year, with but one application.
Horse manure gave better results than
cattle manure. Flowing under gave
better results than any other method Of
applying tested. No benefit was derived
from the use of salt, lime or land plaster,
while wood ashes gave material in
crease of crop With commercial fertil-
izers there was not sufficient increase to
warrant the expense. I'm these trials
corn responded more readily to potash
than to either phosphoric acid or nitro
gen.
As between blowing in the fall or
spring as a preparation for planting,
there was nothing to choose. Subsoiling
in 1890 showed no gain for corn. y trial
of deep and shallow tillage gave as an
average of both seasons for all plots an
increase in favor of shallow tillage Of
1875 bushels per acre. or 2j.2 per cent
A remarkable statement in this cOnnec-
ton is that plot in the set having no
tillage, the weeds being removed with a

The First Friction Matches.
The first really practicable friction
matches were made by an English
apothecary named Walker in 1927. He
coated splints of cardboard with sui
phur and tipped them with mixture
of sulphate of antimony, chlorate of
potash and gum. Each box, holding
eightyfour matches and sold for one
sinking, contained also a folded piece
of glass paper, which was to be pressed
together while the match was drawn
through it,
Three years later another ingenious
person named Jones, in London, pat
ented the idea of making a small roll
of paper soaked with chlorate of pot
ash and sugar at one end, with thin
glass globule filed with strong sui
phuric acid attached at the same point
When the sulphuric acid was liberated
by pinching the globule it acted upon
the chlorate of potash and sugar SO as
to produce fire. Washington Star.

The disappearance of the buffalo has
been the fruitful occasion of much IN
reasonable sentiment Men who never
saw buffalo except in a menagerie are
! especially given to lamentation. An
eastern paper recently gave up a col
umn or more to one Of the mourners
who sorrowed with much satisfaction
because of the disappearance of large
game from the face of the earth The
sad fate of the hippopotamus, the
rhnoceros and other useful quadrupeds
is often bemoaned, but the American
bison comes in for the largest amount
OF cheap sympathy. Those who en-
Joyed the personal acquaintance of
great numbers of buffalo are not num-
bered among the euIogists.
a retired ARMY officer who in his
day saw much service on what was
called ''the plains" said the other
day II am tolerably familiar with the
buffalo and feel justified in saying that
one might with equal sense lament the
disappearance of the bobtail car When
first struck the plains those animals
bounded and abounded in countless
numbers. remember that once when
marching down the Republican valley
for miles we passed herd OF the enOr
nous bovines moving up the same val
ley.
''They travelled about three miles an
hour and we about four, and yet,
though going in opposite directions we
were over six hours in passing the herd,
which almost filled the valley Any
one who feels that he is born mathe-
matician can figure out how long that
herd was. Compute it for yourself
The heard averaged, l would think,
about 800 yards in width Quite a
large aggregation of tough beef, wasn't
it?
Hunting the buffalo was never
sport; a plainsman never did it except
for food and hides. Occasionally some
English tourist or all around Ninrod
would come ont west armed with
complete arsenal of rifles and shotguns
Of the most cumbersome make and
elaborate finish. He would proceed to
butcher a few stupid bulls, have the
hides carefully dressed and, presume,
exhibit them with appropriate blood
curdIing yarns in the halls of his an
cestOrs
Il think that with the exception of
few sentimentalists and naturalists, few
see any reason to regret that the buffalo
no longer cumbers the earth He required
about three times the acreage an Amer
lean steer does for subsistence, his meat
was tough and favOrless, his robe not
half as good as a Minnesota blanket
and five times as heavy, and his habits
were inconsistent with a settled coun-
try. No, we might as sensibly lament
the loss of the trees that once stood
where now are fields of corn and wheat.
The buffalo served his purpose, fulfilled
his destiny, and has simply, like other
things of the earth, passed away in the
Lords good time. kansas City Times
