MICHAEL DOYLE,s TROUBLE.
He VIII Have to Answer a Charge nj
Burglary,

| He VIII Have to Answer n Charge nj
Burglary.
Michael, alias ''Biddy" Doyle, the young
| brlcklayer who has beer in the tolls so
| many times for various offenses and who
was arrested week ago because he was
round endeavoring to dispose of a lady's
cape, is now charged with burglary. The
young man, who has long police record,
was in Goldsmith's secondhand store, try
ing to dispose of the cape, when the pro-
prietor, suspecting something wrong held
MIN and was engaged in a tussle when De-
tective Boyd appeared on the scene. DOYLE
was under the influence of liquor at the
time. and when he reached police head
quarters he became ugly and profane and
ieIused to make any explanation. When he
reached court the next morning he told
Judge Scott that the coat belonged to a
married woman. who had loaned it to him
TO pawn as he needed some money for a
ehort while
know about it,"
Judge Scott committed him to the farm.
ana the police have made further investi-
detectives Carter and Gallaher, who
mace the investigation, learned that the
cape belonged to Mrs. E. N. Thompson,
wife of the cement dealer, and was stolen
from her house, No. 253 18th street SOUTH
east.
1t appears that last Friday morning
ABOUT O'Clock, a carriage in which four
men i1 were seated stopped not far from the
thompson house. One man, whom il is
claimed was Doyle. got out of the vehicle
ana disappeared The three men got tired
OF waiting for him to return and drove of.
In making the investigation Detectives
carter and Gallaher learned that a man
was seen 10 enter the back gate at the
thompson residence and hang his coat ON
the door of the closet in the yard. The
coat remained there about three hours
MRS. Thompson returned to the city YES
terday morning, and in the afternoon she
loenti1ed the cape. Then she went to the
workhouse and saw the prisoner.
Doyie worked in the house when IT was
oufft, and tomorrow he will be called upon
to answer charge of burglary He denies
knowing anything about the $40 in gold and
a cane taken from the house about the
time the cape disappeared.

Potatoes Specific Gravity.

Professor Golf, of the Wisconsin Expert
ment Station, has, for some years past
been studying the potato to find a way to
determine the starch content and why this
varies in tubers from the same hill. He
first found that by the old rule in making
brine of putting potato in water and add
ing salt until the potato floats, called
for varying quantity of salt, some pota-
toes requiring but little to send them to
the surface others considerably more. This
meant to him that some potatoes have
higher specific gravity than others. 1t
is the starch of the potato that gives its
food value; this is heavier than water,
hence the potatoes containing most starch
would require most salt.
After much experimenting to find a
reason for this Professor Golf has decided
for himself at least that the quantity Of
starch in the tubers is due to the depth in
the soil at which it was grown, those
growing nearest the surface having least,
UuOSc ueoPosU lhoSU I1o
cided that the temperature of the soil has
an influence upon the specific gravity, and
that comparatively cool temperature ia
vors high specific gravity i. e., most
starch. That potatoes grown in level cul-
ture are heavier than those in hills, level soil
averaging lower in temperature in sum-
mer than that in hills. Potatoes grown
closely in drills were of higher specific
gravity than those grown further apart in
hills In this matter Of temperature he
finds a reason for the greater amount of
starch in potatoes grown in Maine and
northern New York, and suggests that
mulching during che heated term would
improve the quality in warmer regions.
The market value, Professor Golf
thinks, should be based upon the specific
gravity; that there is no reason why pc.
tatoes containing 20 per cent of starch
or food value should bring no more than
those containing only half as much, as is
the rule under present methods of selling.
and variations as great as this are not I'M
usual. When potatoes are sold on their
food value rather than the amount of
bulk growers will be encouraged to pro-
duce starch instead of water.

Caution Regarding Insecticides.

Cautions for those using insecticides
are:
Use wood, brass or carthen vessels for
mixing the copper solutions, never iron OF
tin; select pumps with brass fittings.
Do not add paris green TO ammonia OF
sulphate of copper solutions.
Never spray with arsenites while the
trees are in blossom, as the bees will be
poisoned. Bees are necessary to the ferti-
lization of the flowers.
Do not spray with arsenites or copper
compounds within three weeks of the
time of using. There is probably no dan
ger. but it is best to run no risks.
Do not use Bordeaux or other lime mix
lures upon rough skinned or full grown
fruit even as late as that, as the lime will
disfgure and the rough coat will hold the
copper solution in quantity.

Crcnt Hrit.in in Indin

Great Britain has been stretching her wings oyer India. In 1S42 she laid claim to G2G,00O square miles of that country. She made additions to this every yScr except 1S43. 1915, and 1852. down to 1858. when her possessions nggrogated 355,00) square miles. Ad- Vances were made in 1866. 1882 and 1886, end noI! the area of India under British rule is 927,G87 square miles. British India is larger thanall that part of the United States lying east of the Mississippi river and it's popula- tion five times as great as 5hc present population of this whole country. Great Britain may not be able to acquire much Emore Of India. Indeed there is likely to be difficulty in retaining what she has. with native dissatisfaction and tho watchfulness of her aggravating enemy on the north, who in the last forty years has moved his boundaries over many degrees of latitude.
