progress of the ball, which was com.
posed of an inner sphere of soft iron

OF the operator was, of course, required
to avoid detection. But the men who
worked this scheme felt so sure that
discovery was impossible that their
very boldness and audacity furthercd
their work. Murder, however, will
out, and the secret was finally laid
! bare to n curious crowd.
Another device that attracted con.
siderable attention was planned to de.
ccive the most inquiring. A table was
devised, the top of which contained a
number of squares laid off similar to a
chess board. Immediately above the
center of the board was suspended a
light metallic ball by means of a slen.
der silken thread. A compound mo.
chanical motion at the top of tri.
angular framework placed immediate.
ly over the center of the board caused
the silk thread to take rather erratic
course. On the board were placed a
number of statucttes somewhat similar
to chessmen, but all of approximately
the same height. The suspended ball
was started on it's crratic course while
the table was slowly revolved.
Bets were then made as to which
particular piece would remain erect
when all the Others were knocked
down. Piece by piece they dropped
until but one remained, and this one,
OF course, was declared the prize win.
ner. The game was even more audacious
than the one above mentioned, but, II
anything, it was more ingenious.
The way in which it was made "a
sure thing" for the possessors was as
follows: Underneath each individual
square was "A rather strong electro.
magnet, of the north poles pointing
upward. Each magnet was separately
controlled in an adjoining room, signal
being communicated to the operator
by any of the wcll.known systems
common with so-callcd Second SIGHT"
performers. Inside of the light sus.
pended ball was compound permanent
magnet with the north pole pointing
downward. Each marker, which de-
scribcd as somewhat similar to chess.
man, was loaded with n piece of soft
iron passing through its axis. The
pieces for as many players as were
present were placed upon the board.
The operator then, according to his
discretion, selected the place which he
desired to remain till the last. The
signal was given and the ball was
started. of course, the piece left till
the last was the one selected, and time
after time were his wages of cheating
gathered in. Nor did the crowds of
fools diminish.
Current from few cells of battery
being sent through the electro-magnet
energized it, north pole uppermost.
The piece was held rather securely
against the board, and even il the light
ball did knock against it, the force of
the blow was not sufficient to dslodrc
it from its position. Electrical Re.

Labor Statistics.

Labor Commissioner Powers has com.
pleted a census, taken in the three man
ufacturing counties of this state, of the
number of nationalities represented in
the labor unions. The result of this
investigation shows that in Ramsey
county there are 44,519 males over u
years of age, rs. 332 of whom are OF for
eign birth; Hennepin has $3.50 adult
males, with an foreign-born proportion
of 80, 467; st. Louis has 30.734, of whom
IL, 1913 are of foreign birth. The per-
centage of foreign adult males in the
three counties is $3.50. The percentage
of foreign born members of trades
unions is 1921, and the percentage of
those who have learned their trade in
foreign countries is only 1922. Accord
ing to the statistics gathered, the most
desirable trades contain the larges9
proportions of Americans, and of the
three trades that are usually considered
not so desirable, it was found that of
the bakers who were seen, " per cent
had learned their trade in foreign
countries. Of the tailors, all were of
foreign birth and only IA per cent had
learned their trade in this country. It
was found that only about II per cent
of the locomotive engineers were of
foreign birth and that SO per cent had
learned their trade in this country. OF
the printers, it was found that % per
cent were foreign born and that SO per
cent had learned their trade here.

She was by al odds the prettiest girl

from the Grand Central station one day

she was pretty was apparent fromthe

The expression of disappointment
upon the faces of many of the men in the

ed at the fellow vigorously until they
saw him speak to the girl, who in no
way repealed his advances, but giggled
foolishly and seemed only too ready to
enter into conversation. Thus the two
talked confdentially till the train got
to Stamford, when the drummer got
off to stay, while the girl took train
on the branch road. I took the same
train myself, and in the seat with me
in the smoking car sat an old gentle

We soon entered into conversation
about postal matters, which naturally
interested me greatly, as was anxious

that he had some very original ideas

He said he had heard that could

He looked at me for moment and,

Crimson, or scarlet clover (Trifolium
incarnatum), is a comparatively new
plant which has been steadily growing
in popular favor during the last FIVE
years. tits an annual variety, of spe-
cial value as a stolen crop, both for
feed and for improving the soil It is
not a substitute for red clover.
The best results SO far obtained indi-
cate the latter part of the summer as.
the best time for seeding. This
will give an early spring crop for pas
ture forage or for green manuring.
Crimson clover may be sown in
orchards. berry patches, with corn, to-
bacco, tomatoes, etc, and upon raw
ground following potatoes, melons or
other early harvested crops. It is not
adapted for seeding with wheat CT rye.
Twelve pounds of seed should be al
lowed to the acre. Experience shows
that the seed takes better when lightly
covered. Failure to secure good
stand results generally from heavy
rains just after sprouting has COM

Crimson clover, in common with
other plants, requires good soil for it's
best development, though it is well
adapted for light lands. It will catch
readily and grow well where red
clover will not thrive, and is also more
hardy. 1t will also make use of the
mineral constituents not available to
the cereals, hence good crops may be
obtained on naturally poor or worn
out lands, fortified with potash and
phosphoric acid only. The use of the
crop as green manure will rapidly
improve the condition of the land.
Experiments conducted at the jersey
station show that the crimson clover
possesses many advantages. A crop

amount of nitrogen equal to that con-
tanned in ten tons of city manure or
