a ~ Bic Manure.

Here is formula for a manure that
has been successfully used by New
Jersey gardener for vegetables: One
thousand pounds cottonseed meal or
boneneal, both costing about $50 a ton;
500 pounds boneblack, costing 1916 a

makes one ton Of first class manure,
costing about $780, This gardener says
in American Gardening: IT have had
better results from this formula than
from $46 special manures from the
manufacturer. I used the above formula

Hard Experience of the Schooner b.

While Bringing Coal to Portland from
and Lost Her Masts-Rescued by a
Tea Steamer.
The schooner B. R. Woodside bound
from Philadelphia e to this port. has
had an unusually rough expert
ence. She was lowed into New York
Saturday by the steamer Ping Suey. She
carried her masts on deck, with their heads
sticking over the port side, and splintered
bowsprit lay on her forcastle head.

Suey sighted her last Wednesday afternoon
eighty miles from Sandy Hook She WASH
though, for there We're eight despairlng
men on board-men who despaired because
they saw no way Of escape from craft
which was drifting to waters where aid
would probably never reach them.
The schooner, which is owned by Captain
Percy, of Bath, Me-, left Philadelphia on
October &, with $50 tons of coal for Port
land. She was commanded by Captain Nc
Kown. and, kesides her two mates, carried
crew of five men. Last Tuesday night she
ran into a heavy gale, which ut two O'Clock
the next morning became a hurricane. She
was under foresail, mainsail, close reeted
spanker, jib and fore-staysail.
The storm stripped her of sails, battered
her bulwarks and flooded her cabin. 1t
smashed her only boat and sent the pieces
pounding over the deck. Waves Ieaped the
low free board and knocked the crew about
like tenpins.
STRUCK BY A GIANT WAVE.
First Mate Fitzpatrick, in attempting to
shorten sail, was struck by a giant wave
and hurled against the water butts. He
was picked up and carried below. One of
the halstays parted, broken by the violence
of the sea. An effort was made to ease the
strain on the bowsprit by rigging a tempo
rary stay. While this was being done, the
schooner's bow plunged deep into noun
famous SEA. The other halstay parted, and
the bowsprit broke as though it had been
Clipped by an axe.
BowspIit and jibboom fell upon the fore
castle head tangled with the rigging
stays attached to them. The foremost no
longer held by the metal strands which con-
nected it with the bowsprit, broke off with
in three feet of the deck, and came clatter-
ing down. Main and mizZenmasts followed.
In its fall the mizzenmast broke the stern
rail, smashed the cabin skylights. and
carried away the wheel.
The schooner heeled over under the
weight of the tenders. which projected over
her port side. Tangled aboutsthe spars like
tentacles. WAS a mass of stays and shrouds.

"And are not all of Edson's inven-
tons based on the idea of the sound
waves? inquired Mr.. Krankwit, plac-
ing Il sly forefnger on his nose as he
spoke. Now, I'll show you something
on rather Il different line. This is a
tire filed with the same material that
is placed in those patent fire eXtin-
guishcrs that you see in large manu-
factories. A brave man mounted on
bicycle arranged for eXtinguishing
flames could ride through n burning
forest and eXtinguish the fire as he
went. All, II | had only had that ma
chine perfected at the time of those big
fires in Michigan Here is Il bicycle
fitted with extra large tires, and de-
signed for use in the Canada border.
In olden times the smugglcr used TO use
mutlled oars when he rowcd, and was
sometimes the proprietor of long,

doubtless remember. The smugglcr OF

and long wooden stockings, and will
ride on his long. low, raldsh looking
bicycle across the line which divides
Canada from this country"
"But in the event Of free trade"
THE European market will always
be open. and is. after all, much better
one than our own so far as this paru-
cular invention is concerned" rcjoincd
Mr. Krankwt.
But now l would Ike to show you
two or three other applications Of my
great principle. For instance. here is
an ingenious device by which elcc-
tricity Is generated inside the tire,
simply by the motion Of the
wheel, and the force thus obtained
finally becomes strong enough TO pro-
pei the machine and its rider up hill
and down. thus almost realizing the I'M
discovered and much talked of per-
petual motion. A theatrical company
mounted on wheels thus arranged
could escape the rapacity Of hotel land
lords, and successfully defy the rail-
road companies. Then here is another
invention which / expect will become
very popular in the amusement busi-
ness. 1t is nothing more nor less than
set of tires arranged in the form OF
n music box, and as the rider propels
himself along the wheels play num-
Der of popular airs. Half a dozen act
ors and actresses mounted on these
wheels could ride through the principal
streets of Il town, and give, as they
travel, q concert fully as good as that
usually furnished by circus or min
strel band. And as the people would
be unable TO see where the music came
from they would be sure to make "a
tremendous sensation"

intended for?' asked the caller, who
