As a result of experiments to show
the effect ofelectricity on growing grain
French scientists have lnvente a ma
chine, the geomagnetifere, for the dis
tributlon of electric currents under the
surface of cultivated fields. It's purpose
is to bring electricity in contact with the
roots of the grain or plant, and thereby
stimulate growth. Roughly speaking,
the geomagnetifere is tall pole with
number of copper spikes at the top to
to collect electricity from the atmosphere
and with conductors along side to lead
the gathered electric fluid to the base,
where wires ramify it through the soil.
The use of this device increases the pro-
ductivi'y of given area by so per cent,
while the cost is much less than that Of
manure necessary to effect the same re-
suit.

U
 Was Unable to Decide.

It was only recently that Auditor Hol- comb, when he came to pass upon the ac- counts of the minister, found himself un- able to decide whether he could approve the payment of MT. Ransom's salary in view of the fact that he had been a mem- bcr of the senate when it was increased. The matter was accordingly submitted to the attorney general for an opinion.
 The decision rendered by the acting at torney general also disposes of another matter in which Mir. Ransom was pccuni- arily interested. Nearly three months ago he returned to the United States quite i'll, having obtained 60 days leave of absence. He spent most of this time recuperating in the North Carolina mountains and then -obtained additional leave of 30 days. Un- der the regulations of the diplomatic serv- ice MT Ransom was entitled to so days annual leave and to 30 days sick leave additional, a total of 90 days There is no provision for a further extension for any reason, and diplomatic and consular officers who have exceeded this quota have not received pay for the period they re- maincd away from their posts. Mir. Ran som's 90 days are nearly up, and last week he came to Washington to ascertain if his continued ill health would secure for him further extension with pay. That question was not disposed of, and there is now no necessity for an opinion on it, in Mr Ransom's case at least, as the acting attorney generals decision dis. poses of everything relating to his emolu mentS.

A PLOT TO BREAK JAIL
New Brunswick on the Verge oi
 Another Delivery.
ONE PRISONER LOST HIS NERVE
Plans Had Been Perfected to Kill the War den and Get Possession of His Keys-The Prisoners Incensed at the FrustratIOn oi Their We'll Laid Plans.

Prisoners Incensed at the FrustratiOn oi
 Their We'll Laid Plans.
 NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Aug. IA plan for another wholesale delivery oi prisoners in the county jail was accident ally discovered. The leaders in the plot were Thomas Kelly, burglar, and Mi. chael F. Barry who is awaiting trial for ar. son in New Brunswick. Everything was in readiness, and tho men were to break jail tonight, but one of the inmates weak ened and informed the sheriff.
 Ever since the escape of seven prisoners, led by murderer, in June last, Sheriff Serviss has personally inspected the jail every night. The men are ordered into their cells at 9 p. m. sharp, and then the sheriff, who is about 50 years of age, goes through the corridors, locking each cell in succession. He carries all his keys on one ring. The conspirators were aware of this custom and planned to overpowel him, steal the keys and make a dash for freedom after having freed all tho other prisoners.
 An exit from the jail was to have been made from cell No. 15, the window of swhich was large enough to permit of the passage of a mans body. This cell was occupied by Barry at night. It is next tG cell No. IT, through the roof of which the StNCu HULL lUoh bIt1l HI SIAb III sJ DOUu Barry and Kelly were allowed the free, dom of the jail and could go in and out of any cell on either corridor during the day. The two men worked together, but it is known that Kelly was the leader.
 The Woman In the Case.
 Since his imprisonment Kelly has been visited frequently by woman, and it is thought she smuggled the files and saw used by tho conspirators. The men sawed through all the bars of tho window in cell No. 15 without being discovered. They used butter on the saws to deaden the sound. The bars were cut from the out sido and not clear through, so that from the inside of the cell the turnkey could not see that anything was wrong although a strong man could have easily wrenched out all the bars.
 The escape was to have been made to- night. After braining the sheriff, accord ing to the story of the sheriff's informant, all the cell doors were to have been opened and everybody given a chance to skip. The leaders had arranged to have a team on tho outside. When the sheriff learned of the plot, he at once transferred the men to other cells and searched the corridors. In addition to the files and saw used the prisoners had managed to secure heavy stone and a slungshot. The stone was wrapped in cloth and made a deadly weapon.
 The men were furious when they learn cd that they had been frustrated and de- clared that they had fully intended to kill the sheriff and were sorry that they had not been able to do.so. There is no doubt here that the money for the enterprise was furnished by Barry's friends. Special guards were at once put on duty, and Barry and Kelly are now in close confine- ment.
