In Cornell experiments stable ma
nure on potatoes gave largest yields,
but the potatoes were poor, irregular
und scabby. No benefit was derived
from the use of nitrate of soda, while
muriate Of potash gave potatoes Of
good quality and proved most p%rofita-
BILE. Phosphoric acid used on oats gave
best results, in n ase increasing the
crop from 90 to 80 bushels per acre. In
the comparatively largest number Of
cases phosphoric acid alone came out
ahead, in a lesser number of cases pot
ash alone gave best results, in still
fewer cases the potash and phosphoric
acid combination did best, while in
some instances the complete fertilizer
was needed for best results.

1t is stated that 20 years ago the

Potato beetles. and other leaf eating

BY combating them it is believed that

Is also recommended.
The system of transporting sugar
beet juice through pipe lines appears at
first remarkable, but it is reported that
one of the Utah factories is supplied
through a % mile pipe. The beets are

A CURIOSITY OF ALASKA.
Beaches Formed by DriftwOOd From
All Over the World.

Beaches Formed by DriftwOOd From
All Over the World.
One of the greatest curiosities noted
by travellers in Alaska is the wonderful
haven of driftwood on the coast be-
tween Yakatag and Kyak islands,
some 1000 or 1,5OO miles northeast
from Seattle. The constant deposit
of logs and driftwood in this particular
spot, which has been going on for hun
dreds, perhaps thousands, of years, is
due to the phenomena of the tides, the
Pacific gulf stream, the mysterious
ocean currents and the peculiar forma-
ton of the shore lines at that point
Logs and timbers are readily identi-
fed there as having. come from Japan,
China, India and other parts of Asia,
as well as from California, Washing
ton and other parts Of the American
continent. There are fine logs of the
camphor tree, the mahogany, the red
wood and the pine in this driftage.
Some of those from the state Of Wash
ington contain the names of the men
who felled the trees and of the saw
mills for which they were destined,
but never reached. Logs eight feet in
diameter are in this novel woodward.
and some entire trees $50 feet long are
there, uplifted by the roots, cast into
the sea by some terrible tempest and
sent floating round the world. Other
persons on the beach descry big trees
floating shoreward, with fantastic
roots above the waves like some sea
monster. One beach after another has
been formed by the floating timbers,
and a little distance back from the
shore the deposits are SO old that the
wood in some places is petrified. while
a little deeper in the earth it has turn
ed into coal The newer logs are with
out bark and as hard as stone, due, it
Is thought, to their long immersion in
salt water. They have all taken on a
whitish appearance. In places the
timbers are piled 20 feet high; at other
points they rise to a height of only
four or five feet.
Under this wonderful beach are found
large quantities of dark, ruby sand,
rich in fine particles of gold. for the
separation of which no successful proc
ess has yet been Chicago

SCALpERS' TICKETS
Taken Away From Passengers On
the 6. II. & S. A.

The regular G. 81. train for the east
last night left Ell Paso In two sections
we'll filed with passengers. On board
each of these sections WAS special
agent, whose business it was to inspect
the tickets, with q view to protect the
road from the work of scalpers.
On section No. l, fourteen tickets were
taken up as invalid, and the travellers
forced TO pay their fares. On section
No. 2, five passengers were put off. All
the tickets taken up were contract
tickets sold to the purchaser unoer
specifications that bound him not to
transfer the ticket. They were disco .
vsred to have been tickets cold by ex-
cursionists to scalpers, and by the latter
transferred to other travellers.
1t will be seen by the action of the
railroad people last night, that the

chances when 1t invests in scalped
tickets.
Now that Recorder Patterson has sst
on the city ordinance, it looks as If the
railroads will have to take care of them
selves. Silberberg Brothers say they

asked to pledge themselves to anything,
and woned not have done so If they had
been. Hence they "broke faith" with
nobody.

A Lost King.

In olden times, when European kings
were as plentiful as Kentucky colonies
are today, it was not an exceptional
occurrence for king to disappear and
never been heard Of again. In ancient
times, however, the people have been
more careful Of their kings.
So when King Sebastian of Portugal
disappeared in battle July 90, 1873,
while fighting the Moors at Alcazar,
there was great commotion. The Moors
surrendered to the Portuguese a body
said to be that of the king, but it was
rumored that the Moors had the king
alive in custody.
The surrendered body was buried
with royal honors at Belem, but the
faithful Portuguese persisted in wait
ing for the return Of their king. Long
after he would have died in the course
of nature his countrymen longingly
awaited his coming.
Even up to this day the legend Of the
return of King Sebastian is believed by
many, and on stormy nights credulous
Portuguese citizens will wrap their
cloaks about them and go outside and
watch the storm, thinking that the
king may appear in a cloud Of fire
again to rule.

TRAINING HORSES.

Preparing the New Animals For the
Circus Ring.
All through the winter circus men
are training the animals for new tricks
for the next summer. The winter is
by no means an idle time. Training
horses for the ring is interesting work.
The first thing done Is to put the new
horses in the stables with the old cir
Gus horses to get them used to their
new company, and a queer thing no
ticed Is that the old horses are jealous
of the newcomers.
A great deal of patience and time is
required to train the horses to run
around the ring. They are blindfolded
and taught to run around the ring in a
circle. The natural tendency of the
horse is to run straight, and it is a
hard thing for him to learn. A sys-
tenn of checks and lines makes the
training easier than formerly.
The horse is an observant animal
and apt to do what he sees another
horse do, so when the blindfold is re-
moved he is placed alongside an old
trained horse, and the man who is to
ride the new animal does tricks with
the old ones, then tries them on the
pupil. A good, intelligent horse soon
learns and actually helps his rider.
Horses are very sensitive to applause
and with that stimulus will do twice
as much work as without. They are
Just as likely to lose their heads as hui
man performers and have to be care
fully watched. A well trained ring
horse is easily worth $1,000, and rid
ers who are stars usually own their
horses. The most careful attention is
given these animals. Before each act
their backs are rubbed with resin,
which has to be washed off afterward.

When from the chatter 1 retire
And close my study door behind,
A chair is wheeled before the fire
A thoughtful hand has drawn the blind
Then DER the shelves l range my eye,
Where volumes mix with pipes and deli,
The stately pompous fellows-high;
The ragged-on the lower shelf.
They line my study's narrow wall,
These friends to whom for rest / comes

But this I'll swear-I worship some.
And would you know the gods l serve
With love that's well nigh worthy self,
Glance, stranger, DER the shabby curve
That bulges on the lower shelf.
You mount somewhat shaky chair;
You point to princely tones above,
With, 'tThis is inei'' and ''This is rare!"
But where's the book man can love?
All, leave the grand ones, l beseech!
They do but conjure thoughts of pelf,
While these untidy beggars reach
To heaven from the lower shelf.
