Persons should be careful in starting
fires about their farms and in the woods.
Considerable damage has been caused
this week by different ones setting fire to
the grass without notifying their neigh

Florida moss at Gainesville says: Brad

is on boom, they having recently re-

came to their mill yesterday in such
quantities that the wagons could not IL

and had to await their turns in the street.
Last year Arthur f. Odin, practiciDg
attorney Of Orlando, attempted to enjon
the levy upon property to enforce pay

tornevs, as imposed by the rev nue. act
of 1891. The circuit court of Orange
county dismissed the bill, and Odin APP
pealed to the supreme court, alleging
that the act is unconstitutional. The
supreme court sustains the circuit court,
declares the act constitutional and reaf-
firms the doctrine as laid down in the

the wise economy of nature, there is no
waste of precious material. 1t is all
used over and over again. The bacteria
are nature s.. type distributors" and
wonderful indeed are the processes by
which the old and dead ''fOrms'' of mat
ter are unlocked" and prepared to be
"reset' in the ever new and ever vary
ing editions of growing life
AS early as 1862 Pasteur had published
the suggestion that the production of nj
trio acid in the soil was probably the
work of heterogeneous. 1t was
reserved for two French chemists SchOl-
essing and Muntz, fifteen years later to
demonstrate what the geniusof the Part
sian investigation had so early pub
lished as happy and brilliant bit of
scientific ''guesswork. "
Even yet the chemistry of decay is
very imperfectly understood. The field
is so wide and the processes SO intricate
that long years of patient investigation
will be required to map out the outlying
boundaries. A brief recapitulation Of
some of the most prominent known facts
may however be permissible.
THE ATMOSPHERE LOADED WITH GERMS.
AS has been said above all decay or
'rotting" of animal or vegetable matter
is due to bacteria. The atmosphere is
loaded with the germs Of an almost end
less variety Of heterogeneous No
sooner does animal or veg etable cease to
live than these humble workers begin
their task of taking down and taking
apart the dead and useless structure.
Indeed they do not always wait for
actual death but are so eager and active
for their task that weakened strength or
impaired vitality, not infrequently in
vites their visits and thus they hasten if
they do not actually produce the catas-
trophe of dissolution. 1t is this unfOr-
tunate characteristic which gives the
study of the life history of pathogenic or
such disease producing germs immense
significance in modern medicine, and
which is scarcely less important in it's
relation to agriculture, to horticulture,
and to the animal industries of the
world.
1t is then through the agency of these
everywhere present bacteria that the
waste and dead material of the world is
prepared for use again. The mineral
elements go back to the earth in simpler
and more stable forms. Carbon is
"burned-up" and returns to it's original
storehouse the atmosphere or in the form
of humus or humoid compounds goes to
enrich the treasures of the soil. The nj
trogen, often by very roundabout and
complicated steps is wrought and re-
wrought in this strange workshop Of
bacterial chemistry. Ptomains leuco-
mains alkaloids and ammonias, in various
known and unknown forms, are success
lively prOducted, and doubtless are but
different and necessary steps in the won
derful chemical progression that leads
up to assimilable nitrogen. Lastly
nitrous and nitric acid round out the
cycle. "Dust to DUST is then complete
and the benef1cient mission is ended of
these wonder working microscopic
plants in preparing what would other
wise be waste and useless matter for use

A United States Consul at Sydney
Talks

WASHINGTON, July S.-Consul
Rapus, reporting from Sydney,
n. s. W, says: Il am decidedly OF
the opinion that in order to build
up the extensive and valuable trade
with the colonies of Australasia, a
trade that by all the laws OF com
merce. convenience and geographic
cal position belongs to the United
States, swifter and more frequent
steam communication must be es-
tabIished, say by vessels that leave
here every two weeks and make the
trip in eighteen days.
such a line would not be a pay
ing investment at first without as
sistance from the government, but
as connections are established trade
develops, and the tourist and busl-
ness travel diverted TO it, would, l
am convinced, yield satisfactory
returns and become the most i'm
portant factor in the establishment
OF relations of the utmost value to
our manufacturers and producers"

HISTORY MADE BY FOLSOM.

Sixteen Chinese emperors are re-
ported to have died by poison.
Poisoning is believed to be very
common at the present day in Tur-
kew and Persia. Two historians
say that Alexander the Great died
from dose of poison in his wine.
The names of seventeen Roman
emperors of the West and twenty
two emperors of the East are pre-
served who are supposed to have
died at the hands of the secret poIs-
oner.
For nearly twenty years Hanni-
bal, anticipating defeat and cap
ture, carried poison concealed in
finger ring. He finally took it to
avoid falling into the hands of the
Romans
Just before his first abdication
Napoleon attempted his own life by
poison. He was found unconscious,
but by skilful treatment from the
doctors he was revived and re-
stored.
During large part OF the seven
years war Frederick the Great car
ried an ounce of corrosive subli-
mate in his pocket TO use in case
of hopeless disaster. On one or
two occasions he came near swaI-
lowing it.
Mahomet was always on his
guard against poison, but in spite
of all his precautions he was once
poisoned by Jewish mistress, Zai-
nab. She administered the poison
in a leg of mutton and, although
it did not kill the prophet, he for
many years suffered from It's et-
fects.
After the death of James 1. Of
England, the populace took the
notion that he had been poisoned
by a Jealous woman at the instiga-
ton Of Villiers. A quack doctor
named Lamb was suspected OF hav-
ing furnished the fatal dose, and
was literally torn TO pieces by
mob in Cheapside in broad day
light before the police could inter-
fere.
In 164S Henry, Duke Of Guise,
wished to get rid of an enemy
named Annese. He offered a SOL
dier a rich reward if he would lie
in wait and stab Annese in the
back. With horror the soldier re-
fused. That would be assassina-
ton, and he was a soldier, not an
assassin. 4 compromise was ef-
fected. He was willing to take the
money and have Annese poisoned,
but not to assassinate him. The
money was paid and Annese was

THE KANSAS MORN.

o. the Sun is a loyal lover
Of the fair, sweet Kansas morn;
He gives with royal splendor
His riches, TO fitly adorn
The queenly form Of the maiden,
Who bushes beneath the warm gaze
OF the handsome and stately lover,
With his kind, tho masterful ways
Sometimes like other fair maidens
Her moods are a trial indeed:
She may meet him in evident GOODNESS,
Nor appear his advances to heed.
He wonders wherein he is erring;
And whether to go or to stay.
Until in despair with reluctance
He gloomily turneth away.
But still he furtively watches
Behind the thin clouds overcast,
And hastens to win renewed favor,
y soon as the strange mood has passed
For though she be faulty, capricious,
He still remains loyal and true;
On a lover so patiently constant,
She cannot help smiling. Could your
