FALMOUTH, July flowing to the
more favorable weather and the fact that
such repairs as were necessary could be
rapidly effected, the salvers changed their
plans suddenly and started towing the
Paris with five tugs supported by three
salvage boats for Falmouth.
Before midnight the worst part of the
tourney had been accomplished and
shortly after midnight the Paris safely
entered Falmouth harbor. Preparations
are being made to beach her in the tide

ri EW YORK, July 12.-Mr. and
II Mrs. John D. Davis. who have
u planned to be the first auto
i \ mobilists to make the run from
this city to the Pacific Coast,
called at the Herald building in their
touring cart to-day and announced
that they were ready to start on their
long journey Their carriage had just
been completed by the National Motor
Company, and has been made
especially strong to enable it to with
stand the shaking up ii is bound to get
on the roads between here and San
Francisco. The distance by the short
est railroad is $3.50 miles, and by the
wagon roads which Mr. Davis will use
close to 3700 miles will have to be COW
cred.
In France, where automobilism is
claimed to have made greater advances
than in this country, the longest run
recorded is 1000 kiIometers or 621 miles,
and French roads are equal to the best
parkways in the United States.
Bicyclists have made runs from the
Atlantic to the Pacific coasts, but have
followed the railroad tracks through
the mountains. An automobile must
take the old stage routes from Denver
west and difficulties will be encoun-
tered in the Rocky Mountains and be-
yond that would appan the average
tourist
Mr.. Davis is determined to get
through, no matter how rough the road
or how steep the grades he finds in the
West He says he will drive the auto
mobile through or over every obstacle
and land it in front of the San Fran
cisco Call building.
A run even from New York to
Chicago is not without its difficulties.
There are hills to climb and roads to
pass that are deep in sand while
others are made of clay that turns to
mud at the slightest fall of rain.
Starting. as he does, with q motor fresh
from the factory and without the time
for thorough testing, 1t will not be at
all surprising If Mr.. Davis has break
downs on the road.

There is strong reason to believe that
the first discovery of coal on this conti-
nent was made in Illinois, by the early
French explorers, some time between
1873 and 1850. james MacFarland,
author of the Goal Regions Of Amer
lea, says: 1t is remarkable that the
first discovery of coal in America of
which there is an account in a printed
book was made by Father Hennepn,
more than 200 years ago. Hennepin's
map, accompanying the edition of this
journal published in 1893, locates a coal
mine in tho bluffs of the Illinois river
near Ottawa, where an inferior quality
OF bituminous coal comes to the surface.
Referring to this record left by Henne-
pin, r. c. Taylor, another high author
ity in economic geology, says: "This
is the earliest notice on record OF the
existence of coal in America"

1t may be questioned il there has ever
been time when actual purchases of
goods have run so far ahead of produc-
tion as they do now. 1t is beginning to
be the fact in most other branches OF
industry, AS it has been for sometime in
the iron and steel manufacture, that
many works are compelled to decline
large orders, and many buyers are seek
ing in vain for place to put contracts.
1t is not strange under such conditions,
that works are crowded and many run
ing overtime, nor that concerns long
idle are being brought into operation
again. Scarcity of competent labor
hinders in many directions, and it is
doubtful whether the labor OF the coun-
try was ever more fully employed.
Differences about wages are remarkably
rare, and concessions are generally made
to avoid stoppages. s.-Dun's Rerie,o.

THE FATHER IN PEN"
Children of William Dodson Left to Look
Out for Themselves,

The family OF VIM. Dodson, formerly
of Spring Creek, Elk county, who with
his brother Frank was convicted OF muir
dering Lewis HOLMAN, the Jew peddler,
in jefferson county, near the Elk coun-
ty line. have been having hard time
of it, according to the following article
published in the Pittsburg Dispatch!
"Rhoda DodsoU, aged IL years, home
less, daughter Of convict in the West
ern Peniteutiary, applied to the Alle-
gheny Department OF Charities yester-
day for transportation to Erie to join
her two brothers and two sisters, who
are in an orphan asylum in that city.
She was sent back to Black Hawk, near
Beaver Falls, where she has been living
with the family of Link" Davidson,
a former convict of the Western Pen
itentiary.
"The child is bright and attractive
and told a pitiful story. She said her
uncle and father were convicted of the
murder of man at Ridgway, Elk
county, three years ago and that her
father, William Dodson, had been sem
fenced to the penitentiary for twelve
years. Her fathers conviction had re-
suited in breaking up their home, and
she said her mother, unable to provide
for her children longer, deserted them
at Brookville last January. Her broth
ers, aged and 15 years, and her sisters,
aged and 6, were sent to Erie, while
Rhoda came directly to Allegheny to
see her father in prison.
Davidson was released about that
time and Dodson asked him to take
care of little Rhoda. Davidson took
the girl home with him. and she re-
mained there until yesterday. She
was not contentod, however, and decided
to leave. She came to Allegheny and
saw her father again. An affecting
scene took place when the two met"

Person Co, N. @.

The Progressive Farmer considers
the following advice from Our Home,
of Marshville, sound and timaly. It
says:
We should not be deceived by the
temporary advance in the price of cot
ton, and fail to SOW a good acreage in
grain. The advance in the price OF
cotton is due to a short crop and the
mills must have the cotton to keep go
ing. In all probability the price next
fall will not be over five cents. It has
been the history Of the past that slight
advance in the price OF cotton means
an increased acreage in the staple the
next year and 1900 will be no exception
to the rule. While seven cent cotton
is nothing to go wild over, it will cause
lots Of would be money making farm
ers to increase the acreage with disas
trous results. The best plan is to try
to make a living. Those who plant
largely OF the cereal crops with view
to making a living generally have
more money and are in better circum,
stances than those who plant big cot
ton crops and try to 'make money"

perpetually applying his science, tax
ing the cows opinion, the steers opin-
ion, or the hogs opinion, the opinion of
the scales, and thus keeping his feet on
solid earth.
The farmer can now take his conclu.
sions and apply them with confidence.
The scientific farmer is no longer
cropping in the dark. The true scien-
tist does the cropping for him, and by
taking his established laws he can ap-
ply them with confidence and ascer-
tain where he himself has gone wrong
in depending solely on the facts of past
experience. The scientist and the prac
tical farmer are co workers, and thus
the farmer becomes in time scientific
farmer. By this we mean not that he
is master Of science, but simply taking
his deductions and conclusions he ap-
plies them to his work and thus avoids
the mistakes and failures that men
who go it blind and who feel that there
are no secret laws governing farm
operations inevitably and continu ually
make.
The mission Of the agriculturRlp paper
is to teach the principles of true science,
pointing out how they can be best ap-
piled, to keep clearly before the mind
of the farmer the ideal conditions he
wishas to secure and maintain, and
suggest methods differing in differe Mt
sections of the country, in the different
soils and climates, to secure this re
suit.
We might give many illustrations
in different lines OF farming. For ex-
ample. we might show how the laws
Of movement of water in the soil, as as
certained by the scientist, solve for the
farmer the question Of deep or shallow
plowing, deep or surface cultivation,
the preparation of the seed bed, the
control Of water, the eff8cts of drouths
and foods, soil washing, and all that.
The wise farmer will fix in his mind
these cardinal principles that the laws
of nature govern in farming as in
everything else, and the farmer,
whether he calls himself scientific or
practical, who COnfor ms most faithfully
to these laws, whether intelIigently or
unintelligently, on purpose or by acci
dent, will secure the greatest rewards.

FALL PLO WING.

The question of the merits and de
merits of fall blowing has often been
discussed. We give below two letters
from prominent agriculturists regard
ing the subject. These appeared in
last weeks Farmers Voice.
Prof. Jas. Atkinson, Assistant in
Agriculture, Iowa Agricultural Col.
lege, says:
The champions of fall and spring
blowing are not much at variance on
general principles. Each is of the opin-
ion that better results are obtained
after fall than spring ploWing. The
point at issue is the advisability Of
having the land produce lavishly for
fear of exhausting the supply of fer.
tiliEy.
1T may seem reasonable to suppose
that any treatment Of soil that will
liberate large quantities of plant food
might prove in the long run to be
wasteful. On the other hand, the loss
of plant food must be exceedingly
small during the growing season when
the soil is completely occupied by the
various roots OF a vigorous crop. And
such is found to be the case where
drainage waters have been analy zed,
scarcely a trace Of fertility having
escaped into the drains when the soil
was under crop. Late in the fall and
before the crop is seeded in the spring
and during the winter there can be but
little loes Of plant food, as the tempera-
ture is not conducive to the formation
of soluble substances. If then, there
is no greater loss during any season of
the year, in what way can fall plo wing
impoverish the soil9 True, it is that it
requires a greater amount Of plant food
to produce seventy bushels Of corn
than it takes to produce forty or fifty.
But does this tend to impoverish the
soil2 Probably in the last degree it
does, but it will not aff3ct this genera
tion or the grand children ten genera
tions hence, providing judicious rota-
tions are practiced in the meantime.
This is due to the fact that most soils
{sand excepted) contain a large amount
of plant food. The supply Of potash is
almost inexhaustible, while the nitro
gen may be obtained from the air and
stored up in the soil. Ag to the supply
of phosphoric acid, there is probably
grea ter danger of it's becoming ex-
hausted, but in average soils sufficient
is present to produce hundreds of
crops. The reason why 80 many soils
seem to be exhausted OF their fertility
