A New Machine That Marks the
Growth of Plant Life.

The agricultural department has
pressed the moving picture machine
into the service of science. The divl-
sion of vegetable pathology now has
device of this sort in oper alton in one
of its greenhouses, photographing the
growth of a small oak tree.
The machine works automatically
taking picture every hour. AT
night an electric light is thrown into
the circuit as the exposure "a made.
The machine has been running about
two weeks. and will be kept going
about two weeks longer on its present
subject. When the series of pictures is
com pleted it will be possible to re-
produce with the stereopticon the
first shoot appeared above ground till
the tree Is in full leaf and a foot or
more high.
While the oak trees pictures are
purely experimental to develop the
capacity of the machine, it is intended
to use the serial photographs in watch
ing the progress of plant diseases. the
blight. insect parasites and the like.
The department hopes in the near flu
ture to be able to loan to the agricul-
tural colleges and experiment stations
rolls of lantern slide films to illustrate
certain of the departments bulletins
on these subjects.
1t is pointed out that lecturer be-
fore class of students could show in
five minutes the growth aud seed dis
tr'bution of any noxious plant. such as
the Canadian thistle, or the life history
of an insect, that it could be readily
recognized and combatted on it's first
appearance in a region, even though
the workers there had never seen it in
actual life.
In addition to straight photograph
ic work expected of the new machine,
it's designer intends to adapt 1t to use
with the X-ray, so as to take pictures
of certain objects that otherwise would
be invisible. II is thought by the de-
partment that a series of spictures of
this sort, taken during the period of
CESSATION, would be of value to stock
raisers, and might be adapted to the
use of the medical profession in certain
lines of research. portland Oregonian.

Narrow Escape.

The neighborhood in the vicinity of the
corner Of Queen and Second streets was
startled Sunday afternoon when Il G
news spread that the young daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Benz. r. Saunders, 7I3
Second street, had fallen into well and
had been rescued just in time 10 save It's
life.
Between one and two o'clock Sunday
afternoon Viola. the twenty-one-months-
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Saunders,
with two other children, was playing in
the ward of Mr. Myers, who lives next
door. While running about in the yard
the child ran onto the boards covering the
cistern and while standing there the
boards holding the trap door gave away
and the child fell through into the water
The door sprang back into place and
had it not been that the others children
noticed their playmate fallinto the cistern
she would haye drowned without anyone
coming to her assistance.
The children ran into the house OF Mr..
Myers and told them of the occurrence
and MIR. Myers quickly ran to the assist
ance Of the child When he reached the
cistern the child was on top OF the water,
which was ten feet deep. He reached
down for it, but it kept sinking and
was soon out of sight He then with
quick presence of mind went through the
opening and slid down the pipes Of the
pump. He went down underneath the
water until he reached the child,which had
almost descended to the bottom and start
ed towards the top with the drowning
burden II, his hands
He reached the top and handed the
limp. almost lifeless body of the infant to
one of the young ladies of the house and
then climbed out through the small open
ing, almost exhausted and his clothes
wringing wet.
1t was a brave and timely rescue
and had it not been for his quick presence
of mind the child would in all probability
have drowned
DR.. Hedges was summoned and tht
child was in a short time restored to con
seriousness.

1ystery Solved.

"A big green frog as large as a baby
is the expression that caused the rumor
that baby was found in one of the tanks
at the Kilbourn Knitting Mills last week.
When a reporter was first told OF the
discovery the first of the week he saw the
managers at the factory and they said il
was the first they had heard OF it and
would investigate. The curious public
demands an explanation and below IS
how the investigation PANIED out.
The gentlemen at the Mills telephoned
that they had investigated and found that
the report was false, but not until last
night was it learned what was the foun-
dalton of the report. One of the water
pipes running into the large tank had be
come stopped up the first OF the week
and failed to furnish water for the tank
The machinist opened the pipe at one oil
the joints and there he found large frog
making the pipe his home and stopping
the flow of the water,
The machinist told that frog as large
as baby was found in pipe leading into
a tank and the expression was jostled anc
tossed about from mouth to ear until the
frog part of it was left out and the report
that a baby had been found in one OF tht
tanks spread over town. This IS the wal
many such reports are circulated.

CAPTURE OF TWO OFFICERS.
How the Insurgents Caught Two of
the Relief's Men,

Manila, May 31.-Details regarding the
capture by F'ilipinos of two officers OF the
United States hospital ship Relief yester-
day have just been obtained.
The Relief lies in the harbor in front
of this city. Third Officer Fred Heppy
and Assistant Engineer Charles Blanford
rigged a sail on one of the ships boats
and went sailing along the shore on the
south, opposite the insurgent lines.
The boat became becalmed near the
shore. and some native canoes with Fill
pinos on board put out and captured the
two men who were unarmed, and also
took possession Of the boat
The United States turret ship Monad-
mock quickly sent boat with a landing
party ashore under cover of her guns, and
sheled the shore briskly. The natives,
however. rushed the prisoners into the
woods before the Monadnock's boat
reached land.
Persons on board several other ships
saw the affair through glasses, but were
unable to prevent the capture of Heppy
and Blanford
FiIipinOs Deal Vengeance.
Friendly natives arriving here from the
country around San Isidro and San Miguel
report that a reign of terror has PIE
vailed since the American troops were
withdrawn from those parts of the ISL
ands. The insurgents who are returning
there deal vengeance upon those of their
countrymen who have shown any friend
ship towards the Americans during the
latter's occupation of the territory. The
friendlies declare that unoffending people
are being murdered daily, and that their
houses are being burned and their prop
erty confscated.
Plenty of sympathizers with the insur-
rection remained during the Americans
stay, and they have been reporting these
instances of friendliness towards our
troops.
The refugees add that the inhabitants
were badly oppressed by the native sol
diers before the American occupation, but
that their condition is worse now. Doubt
less there is much truth in these reports,
though such stories from Filipino sources
are always modified.

ROUTE FOR NICARAGUA CANAL.
Commissions Estimate of the Total
Cost Is SIIS,113,T9O

Washington, May s1.-The state depart
ment to-day made public an official alb
stract of the report of the Nicaraguan ca
nal commission. as presented by Admiral
Walker. the head of the commission. The
synopsis says:
THE commission made a careful study
of all data bearing upon the Nicaraguan
canal question. and organized a large
force.
Much delay 10 the work and great an
noyance 10 working parties was caused
by attempts at revolution, and by the
strained relations between the govern
ments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica The
outbreak of the war between the United
States and Spain was also a serious mat
ter.
The report goes into minute details in
respect to all questions connected with the
construction of the canal, and says, after
mature deliberation, the commission has
adopted and estimated for the route from
Brito to Lake Nicaragua, call
ed Chlds' route, and from the
route. This line leaving Brito follows the
left bank of the Rio Graude to near Bueno
Retro, crosses the western divide 10 the
valley of the Latas, which it follows to
| Lake Nicaragua. Crossing the lake TO
the head of the San Juan river It follows
the upper river TO near Boca San Carlos,
thence, by an excavation by the left bank
of the river, 10 the San Juanilo and across
the low country to Greytown, passing to
the northward of Lake Silico. II requires
but single dam with regulating works
at both ends of the summit level
THE surveys have in general revealed
better physical conditions than were hith-
erto supposed to exist, especially as to the
amount of rock in the upper river, where
by it is possible to greatly reduce the es-
timated cost of construction.
ITO determine the proper unit prices
for excavation, the average of prices act
ually paid to contractors on the Chicago
drainage canal, which represent cost of
plant, prices paid for work done and con-
tractors profits were taken To these
prices certain percentages were added for
the difference in location, climate etc.
I'm obtaining the estimates for the cost
of locks the prices actually paid for build
ing the government locks at Sault Sic
Marie were taken. and 90 per cent, was
added for the difference of location.
after giving due weight to all the ele-
ments of this important question and with
| an earnest desire 10 reach logical conclu-
sions based upon substantial facts, the
commission believes that a canal can be
| built across the isthmus on this route for
not exceeding Sis, 1890.
'Col. Haines concurs generally with the
! views of the other n $ubers of the com
mission but his esnsAate OF the cost is
| 1884, SIS, ,S0S."
