PENiNSULAS.
Eight Men Killed W Logging Train
Thrown From IAN Ihnbankmcnt In
oeeana County.--The Trial al Ex-scerc-
tary OF state JochIrn on ut lansing.

A terrible accident happened while
logging locomotive was running ON
the narrow gauge road of Staples &
Covell, near New Era, Occana county;
it struck tree that had been blown
across the railroad track, and without
a moments warning seven men met an
awful fate. When the train struck
the obstruction the engine was thrown
from the rails and went rolling down
an embankment, taking with IL 4 mum
Der of logging cars, which all piled
upon it. 1t was a terrible scene. When
the train went over the enbanSncut
the whole crew. consisting OF eight
men, went with it. They were pinned
down by the logging cars and crushed
to death. TO add to the awful sn1ler-
ings of the imprisoned men they acre
scalded by escaping steam.
Engineer Adolph Shetlandcr, -
years old, leaves n widow and Two
children; Fireman Gust Anderson, 30
years old, single; Foreman Frank

cident. The men were on their way
to camp for dinner. The accident oc-
Cured shortly before noon, while tho
engine, containing nine men, was on
its way from White river TO the camp,
six miles distant.
Chawkee, who was So severely in

great agony. They were found with
their fingers burlcG of and flesh peel

The road runs from three miles east
of New Era to White river. 1t has
been in operation over Ave years, and
would have finished logging in two
days for good, and tlan have been
moved to other parts. Engineer Shet-
lander had been in charge ever since the
road was started and this is his first
accident. He was to have taken an
other position in week. All of the
men live in Whitehall except those
designated.

so lie Raised u Beard.

When tho late Cardinal Lavigorie
arrived at Algiers to take up his
duties as archbishop. he saw with
regret that all the priests wore
boards, and he ordered them to DO
shaved at once. Bat Pater Girard,
the popular superior of tho seminary
in Algiers, declared he would per-
suade the cardinal to rescind his
order. On the day following tho
prelate's arrival, Patcr Girard ac-
comppnied him on his first Official
jourhey In village of native Afri-
cans, the inhabitants looked with
surprise on tho freshly shaven face
OF the cardinal. and lively CONVEX
sation followed. What are they
sayIng?" asked Cardinal Lavigerie.
"Oh." answered Pater Girard, pro-
tending to be embarrassed ''they are
great children! You need pay no
attention to their nonsensical talk"
.But tell me. Us l should like to
know" continued the cardinal.
"Well," came tho reply, "they can
not understand why man shaves
himself They think you are woman,
and very beautiful one" 1t neod

says: The native habitat of the sweet
potato is not definitely known. 1t is
generally supposed to be of American
origin, but we have no authentic ac-
count of where and when it was first
brought into cultivation by civilized
man. The sweet potato is quite a
different thing, botanically considered,
from the Irish potato. The former is
an enlarged root, while the latter is an
enlarged subterranean stem. The sweet
potato belongs to the morning glory
family (convolvulaceae), and the Irish
potato belongs to the night shade
family (solanaceae).
{ Farmers usually allow the tops to
decay on the ground. They make an
important feed for stock and especially
for dairy cattle. This is true in par
ticular of the tops of the Vincless,
which remain green during very Sc
we're drouths when grass usually is
scorched and killed by burning sun
and dry winds. Since they grow in
punches and stand up well they can be
cut with moving machine and put
up like regular forage crops. They
have also been recommended by u
farmer in this state for salad. We
have tried them and find them to make
a salad of very fair quality. Their
contents of protein, ash and crude
fiber rank about as high as they do in
the tuber. This is shown in the analy-
sis of the tops by Prof. ID. Adriance,
given in the table below. The analysis
was made last October 10th. Since
they are high in the content of water
and carbohydrates, they should be
mixed with more dry and nitrogen

wheat and Farm Animals in Good Condi'
tion-rruit is Still Doubtful.

March was remarkable for high tenn.
perature and moderate amount OF pre-
cipitat ton. At the state board Ct health
station ut Lansing, the records show it
to have been the warmcst March in lG
years. A cold wave passed over the
state on the 25th, and the weather
from that date to the end Of the month
was severely cold. The mean tempera-
ture of the last week of the month was
below % degrees. On the 18th the
temperature dropped TO 10 degrees.
This was the lowest point touched dur
ing the month Since April the tenn
perature went below the freezing point
on a number of days. On the LIST it
dropped TO II degrees, on the I'd to 90,
and on the nights of the 9Th and Sth to
%. The average precipitation III March
was Leo inches. Thrsc inches of snow
fell on the 2Sth.
AS usual wheat ON the summit and
west side of hills, and on clay and un.
drained lands, has been somewhat iu-
jured, but as n whole the crop has win
tered well. The averages of the esti-
mates of correspondents are for the
southern counties, 50 per cent: central
counties, 81 per cent; northern coun-
ties, "a per cent; and state, 80 per cent,
comparison being with average years.
Correspondents in their remarks report
the crop in good condition. much bet.
ter condition than usual at the end of
an 'open" March.
The average condition of clover
meadows and pastures is as follows:
Southern counties ~ per cent, central
81. northern % and state 81 per cent
Farm animals are in good condition.
During the warm weather that pre-
vailed previous to the 25th of March
fruit buds developed to some consider
able extent, and grave fears were felt
that the cold wave OF that date would
work great harm If not ruin to the
crop. \ large number of letters have
been received from fruit specialists
since April |, but at the time they were
written the growers themselves were
not entirely satisfied as to the amount
of damage. The Grand River Valley
horticultural society, March 81, be-
lievcd no harm had been done, but one
of its members few days later found
pears and peaches badly injured. A
fair conclusion from these letters is
that the early and tender varieties of
fruit, especially peaches and pears,
have been injured but the later and
and harder kinds are yet safe. This
is particularly true of apples. There
is no reason why n full crop of this
fruit should not be expected.

purpose of which you will discover
later. The solution ready, you may
begin. Take the uncovered ring in
the left hand and the pipe in the
right, holding the bowl downward.
Dip the pipe in the solution, and blow
the bubble. This bubble may be
blown to an enormous size and will
hang from the ring. Then again dip
the pipe in the water and blow a second
bubble into the first, also through the
ring, and behold you will have a
double bubble glowing with beautiful
colors. OF course, any number of
young people may blow these bubbles;
indeed, the more the merricr.
Blow the bubble through the pipe
in the usual way, holding the bowl
downward, and resting it on n fiat
surface, which may be table or
whatever you please. Blow through
the stem and gradually raise the pipe
and you will have n cone shaped hat
with n broad, fiat brim, very much
like the hats the Pilgrim fathers
wore. Isn't it odd and pretty?
Your rubber tubing will now come
into play for the gas bubble. Attach
one end of the tubing to gas jet and
the other end to the stem of the pipe,
and, having dipped the pipe in the
water, eurn on the gas, which will
create large bubble, and smaller
one that will rise to the top of the
first and float about inside of it up to
the ceiling, where it will remain for
some time. Several bubbles of this
sort may be made to float overhead,
and by putting lighted taper to
them they may be exploded without a
particle of danger and with great
deal of amusement. When YOU come
to study natural philosophy you will
clearly understand the why's and
whercfores of all these curious things,
and you will doubtless make great
many interesting experiments, by
which you will be able to practically
illustrate several important laws of
nature.
You may actually play ball with
good sized bubble The bubble hav-
ing been carefully blown, it may be
tossed up by means of the covered
ring, which will act as a bat. the bub-

luton you can produce colored bub-

delightful effect. -Delineat or
