An rxtra ordinary oceurrenee.

An extraordinary occurrence was re- ported In Leicester, England, recently. Special intercession services for sol- diers fighting in South Africa are be- ing held daily in Broughton Astley church. While the bell was being rung, however, and the congregation enter ing the church, strange visitor ar rived. It appeared that the Atherstone hounds had met at Ullesthorpe, found two foxes at Frolesworth Gorse, and followed one across the fields to Broughton Astley Here the fox. being hard pressed, and seeing the church door open, sought sanctuary there. but the hounds, being close to his heels. followed him into the church, caught him, and there and then dispatched Aim.

NEW CRIMES IN THE CALENDAR
Mans Lawlsss Ingenuity Is Giving tue
 Courts Added Trouble.

Under the laws of the land as they exist at present the theft of lamp is larceny; it may be Roman lamp or a Greek lamp, an oil lamp or an electric lamp. Whether 1t constitutes grand larceny or petit larceny will in certain states of the union depend not upon it's age or newness, but upon its mar ket value. On the other hand there are great number of modern crimes which could not have been committed in ancient days because the instru- ments for their perpetration did not exist. They are the outcome of mod ern civilization and they require new legislation. The tapping of tele- graph wire is modern form of high way robbery. In the old days the method was to waylay the courier on the roaG and to rob him of his purse or of his message. The formula of the modern highwayman is not Stand and deliver" but simply Deliver" And he may get a message from the light ming courier which may be worth mora to him than a we1l-f11led purse. But there is nothing to be gained by indis- criminate tapping. It is some special message or information that the thief is looking for, possibly for it's effect on the stock market or on other busi- ness ventures, but the use of cipher codes renders the tapping of telegraph wires of little avail even in time of war, unless the code as well as the message has been stolen. For the tap ping of power or light lines the mod ern highwayman comes in out of the rain. He can do his business better indoors by attacking the electric me- ter, confusing it's calculations and thus getting more current than he pays for. Such at least seems to be the impiica- tian of recent statutes.

Some Points anont n,a,,,.

Extreme cold increases the teaacity of pure metals and alloys, and the higher the melting point of metal the stronger it is likely to be. This is accounted for by the statement that metals with high melting points must necessarily be coherent and tenacious. Metals are composed of molecules, and high-melting point metals require an enormous amount of heat to drive the molecules apart

AGRICULTURAL SOIL SURVEY.
To Utilize the Soil Test. Experiments of the
Agricultural Department.

The State Department of Agriculture
has arranged with the soil experts of the
Division of Agricultural Soils of the United
States Department of Agriculture in
Washington to begin a detailed and criti-
cal examination of the soils of North
Carolina, with a view to classifying and
eventually mapping them AS the work
progresses, the idea is to make separate
soil maps of the counties on q scale of
about one and one-fourth inches to the
mile. This will give maps for some of
the counties approaching the size of the
present State map. On these maps will
be shown in detail the different classes
or varieties of soils and their exact loca-
tion in the counties. The work has been
be carried out with the idea of accuracy
CT course, proceed slowly. AS all the
area of a section must be gone over it
will require several months for one man
to work an average county A large num-
Der of samples of soil will be taken and
submitted to physical and chemical
analyses to determine the size and char
acter of the soil particles and the plant
food they contain.
Mr.. G. w. Dorsey, who has had six or
eight years experience in this work, has
charge of the field operations, and is as
sisted by Mr.. w. G. Smith, both being in
the employ Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Mr.. r. G. Davis, a
graduate Of the University of North
Carolina, and now connected with the
United States Geological Survey, is en-
gagged in obtaining data and making maps
for the soil data proper.
The work was begun today, Raleigh
being the starting point, and will be ex
tended about four miles each way on the
two' sides of the railroads leading to
Goldsboro and Newbern.
TIE ultimate object of this soil survey

plicahia the soil test experiments now
being carried on by the Department of
Agriculture at Tarboro and Red Springs

cal soils of Eastern North Carolina. The
cation of the areas on which these ex-
periments are being conducted, and it
will then be an easy matter to apply the
results of fertilizer tests and of crops

portions of North Carolina, and in fact,
