Give Fruit Trees Mineral Matter.

One of the reasons why peaches do not
succeed on land long cultivated is lack OF
mineral plant food. The peach is usually
planted on light or sandy land that has at
best but very little mineral. The seed
cannot form without potash, and lacking
this the peaches fall off soon after set
ting. 1t is believed by some that lack OF
potash is the predisposing cause to the
disease known as peach yellows. When
taken early enough this disease has been
cured by heavy applications of German
potash salts. Mineral fertilizers especi-
ally potash are much needed for all fruits,
on account of the lack of this element in
our sandy soils.

THE DINOSAUR OF WYOMING.
Fossil Remains of Great Interest That
Are ReinG Excavated.

Laramie Correspondence st. Louis Globe Democrat
Wyoming is writing strange chapter in
the worlds geological history. The big
sage brush commonwealth is scoring a rec
ord-breaker in fossil formations by un-
earthing the petrfied bones of the most
colossal animal ever taken from the earth's
stratas. This stone monster was a dweller
in the Jurassic age-a dinosaur, measuring
nearly 130 feet in length, and being perhaps
81 feet in height at the hips and - feet al
the shoulders-an animal so terrible in size
that its petrified skeleton alone is believed
to weigh more than 40000 pounds.
Assistant Prof. w. H. Reed of the depart
ment of geology of Wyoming State Uni
Versity is its discoverer. He made the
great find while prospecting for fossils nine
ty miles northwest of Laramie last August,
and since that time the geological depart
ment of the university has been secretly at
work in its restoration. So vast is the
skeleton of the animal that its smallest
bone yet found is more than a man can
lift, and with two men in the field constant
iy at work il is believed that many months
may be required before the monster can
be placed on the campus at Laramie.
In comparison to a mammoth this animal
was in size a horse is to a dog. In the
known fossil world there is but one crea-
ture that can ever serve in an approximate
comparison with it, and this would be only
as child beside it. Prof. o. c. Marsh's
famous DrOntOSduf at the 1 ale museum al
New Haven is its only animal criterion of
measurement. This was n creature of its
own kind and time-a fellow creature in
Wyoming, where for millions of years they
have slept together in the same graveyard
to be finally resurrected by the same ghoul
of science-Prof. Reed. The skeleton at
Yale was restored in 1879 by Prof Reed,
under the direction of Prof. Marsh.
This monster is believed to have been
about 20 feet in length, and in life to have
weighed, perhaps, S00o0 pounds, the new
discovery in Wyoming eclipsing it in this
respect by probably more than 40Go0
pounds This animal was perhaps % feet
in height at the hips and Ii feet at the
shoulders. Its fenur alone is slightly more
than q feet in length, while the femur of
the animal now being resurrected is nearly
or quite feet in length 4 measurement
of it's lumbar vertebrae across the centrum
Is II inches. while corresponding verte-
brae of the fossil recently discovered is over
sixteen inches in similar measurement
From the bones disinterred the dinosaur in
Wyoming, in comparison to the one at Yale
Is in size about three Is to two
The body of the dinosaur is comparatively
short, but extremely thick. Prof. Reed in
conjecturing to the probable appearance
in life of the animal that he is restoring
said:
AN accurate idea of a living dinosaur is
practically out of the question. According
to my opinion, should say that the animal

Island of Electricity.
From the New York Herald,

i'ii ''e We" AotS derat4,
1t is well known fact that the cables
which unite Europe with America are con-
nected on the little Island of Saint Pierre
Miquelon. The quantity of electricity cir
cuiatins for this reason through the narrow
strip of earth which composes the island
has resulted in overcharging the soil with
electricity, and this superabundance of cleo
trical fluid has given rise to a very strange
experiment.
BY throwing an Isolated wire three kilo-
meters in length across the island, and then
attaching it TO metal plate which is cast
into the sea, it has been possible to inter-
cept in its transit message it's way
from America to Europe, and vice versa,
the overcharged electrical soil having turn
ed the message out of its original path.
"A pessimist,'' said the politician, "is a
man who takes stot in the predictions of
the campaign prophets on the other side.'-.
