ago by the French physician, Van Hell.
mont. In a pot of earth weighing 2OO
pounds he planted willow branch
weighing five pounds. He kept the
plant well watered. and in five years
the willow had gained 164 pounds in
weight, while the earth in the pot had
lost only two ounces. Van Helmont
inferred that the plants gain was due
only to the water which had been sup.
piled. Modern botanical science proves
that the gain was in great measure
due to the carbon absorbed from the
air.-New York Herald.

LATEST PEOPLE ON EARTH.

Caucasus Tribe Which Lives In Inde.
scribabie and Antiquated Filth.
>. The LATEST and dirtiest people in the
world have recently been discovered in
the Caucasus. They live in an inacces.
sible mountain range between the
Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, and as
they were 1900 years ago, so they are
today Seen from without there is a
certain picturesqueness about Svanc-
tian village, although it merely consists
of miserable stone novels without any
attempt at form or adornment. Within
the houses are inconceiyably filthy.
They are filled with rags, vermin and
dirt of every description. They possess
no fireplace or chimney. All the cook.
ing, in fact, is done over hole scooped
out in the middle of the floor. In these
houses men and women and children
are huddled together; during the long
winter months they are shut in for days
at time, the cattle often sharing their
quarters. Every aperture has to be
closed on account of the cold. This long
Imprisonment Is, perhaps, the cause of
the degradation of the people. Horrible
diseases result from it, which are ag-
gravated by abnormal consumption of
arrack, the strong distilled drink of the
Asiatics.
Besides this, it is an invariable rule
to make four days week holidays,
with saints days rs extras. Since they
have adopted the holidays of every 9th.
er country with which they have been
in contact, it is not surprising that the
men find little time for work Farm
ing bee culture and cattle breeding are
the only industries of these people.
while throughout their territory there
is not a single manufactured article

pumped into the forward hold. This
lifted the stern until the opening was
within four feet of the surface.
Meanwhile the siX-ton propeller had

pended from cargo boom and guyed
with heavy tackle. Chief Engineer
Gerrie and Chief Officer Mathie then
took positions on the rudder pintles
and, standing waist deep in water, guild
cd the big piece of metal to its place on
the tail shaft. The massive nut which
was to hold it in place was then screw
rl tightly on by n giant spanner

The work of the two men in the
water was made somewhat entertain.

sharks that played around the stern of

being rescued. But that was only an
incident, as Messrs. Gerrie and Mathie
explained, neither making much of it.

SHAFT MENoED AT SEA.
Exciting Experience in Midocean OF
the Steamer Border knight.

Exciting Experience in Midocean of
the Steamer Border knight.
Kipling's "dour Scotch engineer" Nc
Andrews, could hardly have acquitted
himself more creditably than did Mr..
William Gerrie, chief engineer of the
British steamer Border Knight, which
arrived at New York few days ago
after an exciting experience in mid
ocean. The Border Knight is steamer
of the genus tramp, nomadic freghter
that set out from Natal in ballast for
New York. All went well with her until
one afternoon, when there was a sud
den jar and shock, whirring of ma
chinery and hiss of steam.
Shafts broke" explained Third En-
gineer Findlay briefly as he closed
the throttle on racing engine.
Examination showed that his dag
nosis was correct. For no ascertanable
cause the tail shaft, twelve-inch
length of steel, had snapped just out
board of the sleeve, releasing the eight
ton propeller which went spinning to
the bottom. The ship lost her headway.
~
and. having no sail power to give her
steerage way, sat provokingly a-rock-
ing in the sea, biding the outcome of the
misadventure. The usual procedure in
such cases is to haul fires and hoist
your flag upside down, by way of a dis
tress signal, by day, and to burn blue
lights at night. But these men Of the
Border Knight did nothing of the sort.
The engineer went manhollng on his
back to the end of the tail shaft, and
then came back with an idea which the
captain gave him permission to put into
effect.
Ihe first step was to uncouple the in
tcrmediate shaft. and to do this eXpedi-
tiously batterlng ram was improvised
from the anchor stocks. The coupling
bolts forced out, the intermediate shaft
was lowered clear of the fractured tail
shaft, and that piece of metal was
Knocked from the opening in the stern.
A wooden plug the exact size of the
shaft was forced into the hole, and then
spare tail shaft was lifted into posi-
ton and coupled onto the intermediates
All this work occupied three full days

AN OLD VIRGINIA CHURCH.
In It Pocahontas Is Said to Have Been

one of the most interesting religions
buildings in the United States is the
Bruton Parish Church, at Williams
burg, Va, the first pastor of which was
Rev. Rowland Jones, an ancestor of
Martha Washington. Erected in 1910
1t is now in good state of preservation,
and the antique bell still rings out its
message. calling all who hear il to at
tend divine services beneath its time
honored roof. Bruton Old Church is
well worth visit.
The church has the trlple-story tower
OF which our English colonies were so
fond. 1t can still boast of mahogany
pews. The aisles were paved with
iiagstones. On the walls are some
quaint mural tablets reciting the vir-
tues and piety of worthless of the old
dominion. Williamsburg was the an.
cient capital of Virginia. and In the
quiet churchyard of Bruton Old Church
the tombs of the Parke Gusts family
and those bearing well-known Virginia
names of Page, Burwell, I.yttleton,
Savange and Nelson are found.

During the fiscal year which ended
on June 80 last, BAL, ,7lI foreigners en-
tered this country through the port of
New York. Probably the total immi-
grafton for the year will not fall short
of 100000. The noteworthy and not
altogether agreeable difference between
the immigration of 1900 and that of 80
years ago is that now most of the new
corners are from southern and eastern
Europe, while they used to be from
western and northern Europe.
