COAL SEIZURE.

Chicago. July io-Thc railroad com.

coal being carried over their lines
The order carried confusion with it,

expected to receive special shipment
10 meet the demands were thrown OF
their own resources 10 overcome the
difficulty.
The price of common soft coal jump
ed 80 cents q ton. wailc soft screening,
were rated just double their custom
airy value. Fully $1,000 carloads from
the mines In southern Illinois were
confscntcd by the railroad companies
The seizure Is made because Of u re-.
cent supreme court decision which says
that Ia ease Of strikes the railroad
companies have the right to condscatc
any coal on their property, regardless
Of their corsigncc. The railroad com.
panics claim they are executing their
just rights, as they maintain that their
contracts with the coal companies call
for 80 many thousand tons a year, aud
when strikes prevail they are simply
taking their balance due on the con.
tract, instead Of waiting until tho bins
are nearly empty as heretofore.

FACTS FOR

When a horse refuses to eat let him
rest.
Small farms well titled are what
makes the country rich and prosperous.
With hogs, cattle and horses espe-
clally feed to maturity as far as pos.
sible.
Never sell young growing stock when
there are older animals that can be
spared.
For building up poor land sheep are
a better class of stock to keep than
any other.
AS soon as the harvesting is finished
see that the machines are stored under
shelter.
After the harvest work is finished
up is often a good time to do necessary
draining.
loo close pasturing at this season of
the year is simply robbing the soil of
its fertility.

obtained by experiments in Kidding
fields of grain from chinch bugs. Mos
quitoes, which are believed to convey
malaria from the swamps to the human
system, would exist no more. Flies.

THE P~ARATORNADO.


Safeguard Against Cyclones
by IL Famous Scientist.
No less m inventor than Mr.. Turpin
has come forward with a safeguard
against cyclones. He believes his dis
covery will be of especial interest to
Americans, He says that the scourge
comes at the same annual epochs and
usually at the time of the equinoNes;"
that the route of cyclones has never
changed; that it is not the cyclone
(Which is "a formidable wind of sup
prising swiftness') that is disastrous,
but epiphenolnena. which are produced
in its he~art--such as waterspouts or
tornadoeS, funnel-shaped misses of wa
ter, the gyratory movements of which
have a swiftness of 200 meters a Sec
on1. In them lies the real danger. Mr..
Turpin calls his new protective appara-
tus a "paratornado." On the side of a
town from which cyclones invariably
approach there should'be placed "A mum

Trees Attract Lightning.

An isolated tree offers a most danger
.ous attraction to lightning. In woods
the peril Is diminished because the
electricity is scattered. Trees with
roots deep in humid soil are more apt
to be struck than those in drier spots.
Trees in damp places are always con
ductors OF electricity. Lightning pre-
fers oaks and rarely touches bceches.
Resistance to electrical discharges
varies according to the proportion of
oily mntter contained in the wood. The
poplar possesses but little greasy SUBJ
stance and is a good conductor. Ii is
dangerous to those who trust it for
shelter, but IL planted not nearer than
ten meters from a dwelling proves to
be a good lightning rod. Ifcertain pop
lars are easily struck by electric fiuid,i,
q because their roots are in damp soil.

DANGER IN SMOKING.
1t Causes Cancer of the Lips and
other serious Ailments

1t Causes Cancer of the Lips nnd
other serious Ailments.
While many surgeons deny the exist
ence of smokers cancer others indi-
cate tobacco as the cause Of cancer of
the lips and nasal fossae. The disease
from this cause is said to be lobulated
cpithe.ioma. sometimes composed of
mucous and sometimes of horny tissue.
1t shows particularly among smokers
who pay no attention to the cleaning
of the mouth. who smoke short clay
pipes TO the bottom and who use an
inferior quality of tobacco. The under
lip or part of the tongue most in contaci
with the oyerheated stem OF the pipe
is most frequently attacked. These
neoplasms grow in the base of the
tongue and on the tonsils of those who
have lost their teeth and who hold the
pipe deep in the mouth. The weight
of the pipe is a source OF Irritation. auJ
the cancer Is found on the side where
the pipe is held, Contagion from We
men using the same pipe may result.
When an early operation is performed
on cancroids situated on the lip the
prognosis may be favorable, but the
reverse is the case when the tonsils or
tongue is attacked. Smokers should
use a pipe with an amber. mouthpiece.
and IT should never be snokcdrfo the
bottom. Acrid tobacco should be
avoided.--Chicago Inter Ocean.

GERMS IN THE SOIL.
They Preserve Their Vitality and
often Spread

a writer in the Journal of the Frank.
lin institute calls attention again tn
the danger of disease germs in soils.
He says:
1t has been observed in France that
in localities where animals are interrr5
which have died of Charlton, the germs
of this infectious nslady persist in
the soils for many years, and that, es-
pecially when cereal crops are cultivat-
ed upon such soils, there is great danger
OF communicating healthy cattle with
the same disease. In one case it was
observed that many sheep which were
pastnred in a field in which, two years
before, a single animal which had died
Of Charlton was buried, were infected
with the disease and died. In like man
ner, it is entirely probable that the
germs OF hog cholera may be preserved
I'M the soil for many years, to finally
again be brought into an activity which
may prove most disastrous for the own
ers of swine. Every effort should be
made by agronomists to avoid infect.
itS n sui ny tdICdSSeS WulCn are
dead from any zymotic disease. Crema.
ton is the only safe method of dispos.
ing of such infected carcasses. The
Investigations of scientists have shown
that there are many diseases of an in
fectious nature due to these germs, and
that these germs may preserve their
vitality in the soil. Among others NAV
be mentioned yellow fever and tetanus,
and the microOe producing the bubonic
plague. which retains its vitality in tbe
soil. and thus escapes entire eradica-
ION. For the reasons given above. the
1gronomist, who also has at heart the
health and welfare of man and beast.
pm hardly look with favor upon any
u the plans which have been proposed
for the use of sewage from large cities
Tor irrigation purposes. There il
scarcely a time in any large city when
ONE infectious disease, due to the ac.
tiVlty OF germs, does not exist, and the
sewage is liable at all times to be con,
animated Herewith.
