Mushrooms in Europe.

From st. Nicholas. ,
AS an article of food mushrooms are be-
coming more widely and favorahly known
each year. Immense quantities are grown
for market in caves near Paris, some of the
beds being seven miles long. One grower
has twentyone miles of mushrooms grow
ing at Merry. In Italy the trufie-beds are
so valuable that they are guarded as care
fully as are game preserves in England.
But the poachers, quite equal to the neces-
sity, train their dogs to go among the beds,
dig up those mushrooms of marketable
value, and bring them out to the edge.
where they are waiting to receive them.
Mushrooms bring in revenue of $4,000
year to Rome, and NJ. Roques calls the
despised toadstools the mamma of the
poor
Mr.. Julius Palmer, our own authority on
mushrooms, says: Were the poorer
classes of Russia Germany. Italy or
France to see our forests during the au-
tumn rains they would feast on the rich
food there going to waste. For this harvest
requires no seedtime and asks for no peas
ants toll. At the same time the value of
mushroom diet ranks second to meat alone
America is one of the richest countries IN
mushroom food"

John Browns Advice rs Remembered
by Paymaster General Stanton.

Dy PAym1Ster GeneFal stanton.
my campaigning began way back in
49," said Brigadier General Stanton, pay
master general of the army. to a writer
for The Star. '1t was out in Kansas with
old John Brown. This was in the border
war. Old John Brown was slender, angu-
lar man, probably over six feet tall. and
had much Of the physical makeup of the
typical Yankee. He was man of serious
mind, very religious, and knew the Bible
almost by heart. I recollect the last con-
versation had with Brown. 1 was moth
ing but boy at the time; about eighteen
years old. 1t was the night after the fight
at Lawrence, Kan.
I'VE had been fighting all day with the
pro-slavcry people. 1t was bright moon
light night, and Brown and l slept under
the same blanket. Our bed chamber was
the open air. Brown had spread his
blanket in the warm sand right at the foot
of Massachusetts street. which is the main
street of Lawrence. Until we went to
sleep Brown kept up a constant talk with
me. Brown told NE, and I've sometimes
locked on it as almost prophecy, all about
the war that was coming.
Slavery and freedom will never mix,
said Brown. The country can't be half
slave and half free. There will be a great
deal of bloodshed. There's a struggle COM
ing, the, biggest one the world has seen.
1t will last years and rivers of blood will
flow. You will see it, but l probably will
not. I expect the slaves will be freed, and
am as sure of it as 1 am that we are
wrapped in our blankets here, but 1 don't
expect to live to see it myself
Brown was a very quiet man in his
manner, and while naturally a soldier,
knew nothing of military affairs by any
education he had received. He was abso-
lutely brave, and, in fact, sort of Ameri-
can Cromwell. He made a speech on one
occasion to the people CT a town in Kansas,
just before they went into fight with a
band of border ruftians, who were about to
attack them. Brown was we'll educated.
but his speech was homely and plain. and
entirely practical. I srecollect one thing he
said. which was really valuable piece of
military advice. 1t would be good informa-
ton for any army to get just before it
went into fight. .,.lr
"'And when you shoot said Brown, in
his quiet, practical tone, to the listening
crowd, be sure that You see the hind sights
to your rifle. 1t is absolutely essential,
and there is no use shooting until you do.
If everybody who has shct at me had seen
the hind sights Of mis- gun would be as
full Of holes as a colander'"

gradient, the air pressure and humidity to
a height of four or five miles. Skilled
aeronauts with complete and accurate in
struments should be placed in the region
of severest action at the season of the year
when storms are most frequent. They
should be held in readiness until the
approach of storms typical of CYCLONE
action, and then from the central office
where the movement of the storm is being
carefully watched on the daily synoptic
chart they should be given telegraphic
orders to ascend, and their ascensions
should be so timed as to secure accurate
reading Of great elevations throughout the
several quarters of the storm. 1t is
believed that information so secured Will
establish something like an approach to
the true philosophy of storms in contra
distinction TO the very imperfect theories
which too often are hastily ap-
proved as demonstrated princi-
pies. In winter the great high
pressure areas which constitute our cold
waves should receive the same thorough
exploration. Upper air exploration may
be accomplished by train OF kites carry
ing automatic instruments, by captive kite
balloons, which may be forced nearer and
nearer the zenith with increasing wind
velocity, or by the ascension OF trained OBJ
servers in free balloons. Mr.. McAdle at
Washington has secured recently some
good records with kites OF 1000 TO 1000 feet
elevation. The line of investigation to be
prosecuted during the next two years will
be systematic exploration of the upper air,
with continuation OF the study OF terres
trial magnetic forces as induced by the
solar magnetic field, and there Is good rea-
son to believe that from 1t both practical
and theoretical results of the highest value
Will be obtained.

ALUMNE WHO MARRY,

ness.

Miss Milicent Washburn Shinn of this
City, formerly editor of the Overland
Monthly, has an article in the Century for
October on ''Ghe Marriage Rate OF College
Women" She finds that OF the 1906
women on the register OF the Association
of Collegiate AIumne for the year only
2S.2 per cent are married. The marriage
rate for the country at large for women
over 20 years old is nearly so per cent, but
she says the comparison and the conclusion
that college women marry little more than
one-third as often as other women is mis-
leading for several reasons.
The rate is lowered, first, by the high
proportion of graduates in the alumna
body and the fact that college women
marry later than others; second, by the
high proportion OF women educated in col
leges for women only, and third, by the
high proportion OF women from the North
Atlantic States. The following table indi-
Gates the difference constant in the mar
rage rate for various sections of the coan-
try-except for the high rate for California
graduates over 35 years old, probably q
mere accident. as the number of names
on which 1t is based is but twenty

HEAVY LOSS OF FRUIT.
Five Thousand Cases Ready
for Shipment Consumed
by the Flames.
OIL WAREHOUSES THREATENED
Spread of the Blaze Prevented by
Hard Work-Its Origin a
Mystery.

MARYSVILLE, CAL, Oct. u.-All the
buildings of the Marysville Cannery, to-
gether with their contents, including sew
eral thousand cases OF canned fruit, were
DESTROYED by fire tonight. The flames
had gained such headway before the Fire
Department arrived that no attempt was
made to stay their progress on the can
nerv buildings, efforts being directed to
saving the adjacent warehouses of the
Standard Oil Company. The loss is esti-
mated at $4,000, with an insurance OF
SD 900.
The cannery buildings, consisting OF the
main building, the engine-room, drying
rooms and warehouses, being constructed
of light, inhammable material, were en-
tirely destroyed. All of the machinery in
the cannery was either burned or so badly
injured as to render it useless, while in the
warerooms about 5000 cases of canned fruit
were totally lost with about $4,000 labels,
which had Just been received and were
still unopened
The origin Of the fire is unknown. The
cannery had just closed down for the
night, and the manager, R. W. Skinner,
had left the building but a few minutes
when the flames were discovered issuing
from the engine-room by the night watch
man. An alarm was Immediately turned
in, but the fire gained so rapidly that it
was impossible to save anything but the
books and accounts of the company.
The Marysville cannery had made very
successful run this summer, furnishing
employment to several hundred people
and paying $500 week for hired labor
alone. The daily output was 5000 cans.
With the exception of a few thousand
cans stored in the W T. Ellis warehouse,
all OF the summer output IS total loss.
The cannery viii probably be rebuilt and
ready for next seasons run.
On the track near the burning buildings
were fourteen cars, loaded with oil for the
Standard Oil Company, and at one time
the heat was so intense that the paint on
the cars blistered. But for the timely
arrival of an engine, which removed the
cars to q safe distance, they would have
ignited and caused a terrible loss of life by

To SECURE WEATHER FORECASTS THAT CAN
BE RELIED UPoS.-Chief Willis L. Moore
OF the United States Weather Bureau con-
fesses shat in spite OF all that has been
written on meteorology we are still ex-
tremely ignorant of the mechanism of
storms-of the operation Of those vast and
subtle forces in free air which give incep-
ton to the storm and which supply the
energy necessary to accelerate cyclonic ac-
ton when formed or to disperse it when it
is once in full operation. In other words,
all the weather prophets in the country
work out a large proportion of their
prognostications on data which have a
minor significance. Meteorologists have
for years been taking measurements at the
bottom of the great ocean of the earth's
atmosphere, while the forces which cause
the formation of storms and which inhu-
ence their intensity and direction of mo-
ton operate at greater elevations, or are
even extraneous to the earth. Mr.. Moore
holds that it is imperative that
systematic explorations be made of
the upper air. Balloon ascensions
should be maze in the several
quadrants of the cyclonic storm and also at
the center thereof, especially when rain is
falling and the barometer gradient is steep.
1t is especially important to know the level
at which condensation ceases, the depth OF
the cloud stratum, the temperature

in coaching the players.
The Stanford Berkeley managers have at
last arranged freshman game between
the colleges. The match is scheduled to
take place on November 9, so from now on
good deal of attention will be paid to get
ting the freshman eleven in proper train
ing. The line is pretty certain to be weak,
although there is stout man for center.
Behind the line the freshmen will be
strong. Every effort is being made to get
out all heavy weights of the class, but they
seem to be few and far between.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 11.-If any
attempt is made to occupy Government
lands for the Corbett- -Fitzsimmons fight,
Secretary Smith will instruct the Govern
ment authorities at Hot Springs to prevent
the fight taking place.
The Secretary said to-day that he would
grant no permit for the fight, and if any
lessee of Government lands grants per-
mission to the managers of the fight to
have it take place on his land his lease
VIII be speedily revoked.
The Indian Bureau was in receipt of a
telegram to-day from Chief Perryman OF
the Creek Nation asking permission to
have boxing and other athletic sports in
the Nation. Indian Bureau officials were
puzzled about the telegram owing to re-
cent events in that country, and tele-
graphed Agent Wisdom at Muskogee, Ind.
T., to ascertain the purport of it.
He replied that the request of Chief
Perryman was in regard to the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons affair, and that under in
structions from the Interior Department
he had taken steps to prevent the fight on
any of the lands Of the five civilized tribes.
