Eneet u Grain IN cows W Pa.ture.


For two seasons there have been ex-
periments carried on at the station of the
Cornell university to determine the ques-
ton Of the profit Of grain ration ted to
cows while In pasture. Messrs. Roberts
and Wing report on said experiments as
follows: lin two trials in two seasons
we have received no return IN milk ana
butter from feeding a grain ration TO
cows on good pasture. In one trial with
cows soiled on fresh grass we have rel
ceived in increased milk and butter pro
duction and in saving of grass consumed
barely enough to pay for the cost of the
grain ration added. In neither case has
any allowance been made for increased
value of manure when grain is fed, which
would be considerable in amount, but
difficult to estimate with exactness. =
The opinion is further expressed that
several repetitions Of this experiment
will be needed before the matter can be-
considered conclusively settled.

NINE PERSONS PERISH.
They Were Caught in Fire Trap Al
 Rochester, Pa.

They Were Caught in a Fire Trap a
 Rochester, Pa.
 ROCHESTER, Pa., April 7.-Nine persons were burned to death in . fire which oc- cured here shortly after midnight.
 The fire broke out in a large franc building on New York street, which was used as a residence and several stores
 Six members of an Italian family who lived over one of the stores lost their lives. One daughter, aged IT, saved her self by jumping to the pavement below.
 The girl who saved herself gave the names of the dead as follows: Battistizo Teckio, her father; Anna Teckio, her mother; Vattorio Teckio, brother, 12 years old; Fannie and Rosa Teckio, sis ters; John Teckio, brother; Joseph Ram pateni, boarder.
 The men and boys worked for the Rochester Tumbler Company. In addi- tion to these are MT. Keene and his son Walter.
 The fire started in Keene's kitchen and the two were overpowered by the smoke. All the bodies have been recovered but only two, the Keenes, were recognizable. The rest were burned out of all recognition. Searchers found also $150 in gold in ths ruins which belonged to the Italians.

Natural Gas in En cland.

The Middlesbrough correspondent of the Newcastle (Eng.) Chronicle writes to his paper regarding the find of the gas that it was made at a depth of about eight hundred feet. At seven hundred and sixty feet whitestone was struck and salt is generally found at from twenty to twenty-five feet below white stone. At eight hundred and forty feet salt was struck at this borehole Continuing to bore through the salt, 8 blue limestone was struck, and then the present gas. Many people in the Middlesbrough district have expressed the opinion that it is simply the usual marsh gas, which is always to be found near salt, but which is of little or no use. It is needless to dilate on the effect that such q discovery as is be- ieved by some to have been made this week would have on the salt trade and other industries in South Durham natural gas as a fuel would revolutionize the manufactures, and that in a center already favored naturally by enormous salt deposits, proved over practically twelve square miles," near to fuel and close to navigable waters.

Talk of a Duel Growing Out of the sensa-
 tional Case.
 ATLANTA, Ga., April 2. There is 8 new sensation in the Mckee poisoning case. MT. Dietz, the husband of Mrs. Julia A Dietz, the principal witness against Mrs. Mckee, has demanded public apology in open court from Col. George Fry, one of the counsel for Mrs. Mckee.
 Col Fry scored Mrs. Dietz severely in his argument for the defense. He went so far as to compare her actions and de- meanor on the witnesssstand to ballet dancer MT. Dietz wrote note to Col. Fry setting forth his demand for an apol- ogy. The excitement is great.
 A reporter interviewed Mir. Dietz at the court house and MT. Dietz said that if the Colonel did not apologize as de- manded he will have to answer for it. Dietz and Fry have not met. Both are considered fighting men.
 Two of the jurors in the case are sick, and the trial has been continued until Wednesday.

further search-nol He could not force her to come back and live with him, and tho self-humiliation of publicly seeking her only to meet repulsion aft erward would but increase the burden he now bore.
 And yet, whither on the face of the earth had she fled? This question, he well saw, must ceaselessly vex him, like pebble in ones boot-sole. What conceivable means of livelihood had she found? Must not her aunt Janet have certainly duped him, lied to him? His indignation strengthened as he grew more and moro convinced that this I was true.
 Three or four days went by, and still Gerald failed to appear. He was now convalescent; he thought of leaving the house on the morrow, and instead of at once going to his office he had resolved first to call upon his brother. Somewhat late in the afternoon of the day when this resolve was formed, a servant handed him the card of his wife's aunt, Mrs. Calderly.
 l He at once went downstairs and re ceived her. The moment they met she gave O little moan and lifted both hands. Immediately afterward, and while they were seating themselves, he observed that she looked sallower than ever and that the eye which had no cross in 1t was full of distress. Her first words confirmed this impression.
 q have come to you, Svlvan," she said, Sin a very miserable frame o1 mind. Please pardon my-my surprise at your appearance. But wasn't pre- pared to find you looking so bad"
 "Tve been quite ill.," he said, curtly, ''but am getting on now. Pray, what is your own troublef" He could not resist adding: "Has some one ot your brave army of free-thinlxers been desertinS your rationalistio banner?"
 She astonished him by taking no no tice of his satire. "I'm glad you're vel enough to sec me-" she said. "I've something vastly important to tell you It has been getting me into dreadful, state. hope it-it will not affect you in the same way"
 Affect me?" Sylvan muttered. Hi. brow clouded. ("Ah!" he exclaimed tits about my wife! You've heard iron her-or perhaps you knew all along just where she was"
 Mrs. Calderly clasped her hands to gether. 'I did lSnowl did know! She was there with me when you came tc inquire about her."
 "She was in your housel And SC you. ."
 II told you a falsehood Yes, admit that did!'
 sylvan's eyes glittered and his lir curled.

 He went to Perdita's room with the idea that perhaps Gerald had fallen a victim to the trap set by some shrewd adventures. After all, those men whom he had bribed to cheat the morgue of its lawful dotsam and jetsam how did he know of what deceit they were capable? They were fellows of no special character, those night-river providers. Why might they not-9

A ROMANCE OF TWO BROTHERS

Gerald hurried across the room, beset by an ugly doubt which acted clearingly oh his already frightened brain. He saw certain glass fragments lying on the floor, and picked one of them up.
 "Ah," hs faltered, ''it was the flask that contained the elixir!"
 "Too badr exclaimed Clyde. "Please forgive me, Gerald"
 "Oh, I do, of courseI" came the re- ply. "It was an accident, know"
 "Dear fellow, I'll swear to you it was only thati You don't-yop can't sus- pect-"
 "No, mo-"
 "The lights little dim over in this corner. My elbow struck the thing be- fore knew. But never mind, you've got the formula yet, though it did cost you such lot of labor to secure just this little amount of liquid"
 "Oh, yes, I've the formula" mur- mured Gerald in dreamy tones. "Be- sides, don't care so much now" He was thinking of the woman whom he had resurrected from death.
 Clyde's voice again sounded, crisp and resonant. "Ah! here's the stuff l was after. Now, Gerald, you must take a big swallow of it. You're internally played out by this whole proceeding and you need a good, long sleep to pull you round again. There sit down once more. We must get you to bed presently, and if this commonplace dose doesn't quiet you we'll try some thing little more scientific"

VIII.


 Toward evening of the next day Syl- van Maynard began to wonder at his brothers absence. Gerald was SO apt to drop in of a morning; what meant this failure to present himself? True, his late visits had been brief, and his manner while making them had seemed preoccupied, abnormal. But he had al- ways come; he had always evinced a desire to come, and Q warm feeling for the sorrow and sickness by which his nearest kinsman was crushed.
 Sylvan had now recovered from his sec ond dismal attack and begun to accept the gray despondency of the life which Luoia's desertion had wrought for him. A certain indignation against her had indeed nerved him like . sort of tonic. She had wronged him infinitely; he meant to try and tear from his heart all craving to look upon her again. Her flight had been 8 confession of antipa- thy-of past hypocrisy as well. They needed him at his office downtown. He would make an effort, very soon, and go there. As for the slightest
