head of the syndicate which controls the
natural gas systems of the State, together

Murdoch, a director of the Logansport and
Wabash Valley Company, is making an in

station built by his company to supply
Wabash.
Speaking of the introduction of acetylene
gas as a substitute for coal gas, Mr.. Diet
erich states that the experiment here in
Wabash. which is the first city TO be sup
piled with acetylene, has proved all that
was expected of the illuminant; that 1t has
demonstrated its superiority to coal gas,
while 1t is much cheaper. The Dieterich
people have control of the production of
calcium carbide, and as far as practicable
the artificial gas plants of the syndicate
will be equipped to make acetylene as a
substitute for coal gas in dozen or more
Indiana cities.

The last Michigan Legislature
passed bill appropriating $25OO per
year for a period of two years for the
location and support of an agricultu-
raj experiment station at some point
on the upper peninsula. In an inter-
view outlining tho ideas of the board
in opening up the new station, the
president of the board, Mr. Snyder,
said: ''Ihe consider tiohs as to the
locality of the new station will be
chiefly, and perhaps wholly, physical
and geographical. We desire to To-
cate the station where it will do the
greatest good to the greatest numbet
with the money at our command. [
am of the opinion that it will be best
to take the minimnm amount of land
AID devote our experiments to the cul-
tivation of some one or two crops,
rather than to attempt too great va
riety. In fact, you will find that SEN
timent, the sentiment of small farms
thoroughly utilized, is very largely in
favor with farmers throughout the
state as opposed to the old theory Of
100 acres with little of this, that. and
everything, and only about half the
acreage utilized. The truth is, the
farmeIs are themselves becoming very
rapidly a well-educated class, not
alone as to agriculture, orticulture,
and so forth. but in a general way"

Young Woman Runs n Mill.

Miss Clara M. Stimson is a young
woman of Maine, who has shown that
q woman can run shingle mill with
profit and satisfaction to her en-
ployes.
She is now assisted in her work by
another woman, who is o lecturer and
reformer, cultured and travelled, but
able to put into her work real bust
ness effort and ability. Miss Slim
sons father was the owner of shingle
mill, and when he died, ten years
ago, the daughter determined TO keep
on with the mill. She has succeeded
beyond her expectations, and now has
customers all over the country.
Her mill is at Masardis, in the heast
of the lumber district. The machinery
that went into the building Miss
Stimson herself bargained for, maxi
ing better arrangements, it is said,
than any man had done III that coun-
try before. She is successful at the
markets in Boston and New York,
and visits them regularly. and she
says contractors and laborers are al
ways equally courteous to her.

and I flashed down it at tremendous
rate, but not so rapidly as the storm,
which could feel to be creeping up.
The wind at my back pushed me
onward, and it seemed only u few
seconds before | reached the school,
after all. AS I approached 1 looked
about for my sister; she was nowhere
to be seen. L was in an agony of des-
peration. l shouted and called, but
the wind behind drowned my voice.
dared not dismount to search for her.
She might have hidden herself in the
building, or she might have gone
farther up the road. The latter hypo-
thesis proved to be correct. Just as
| reached the gate L saw the little blue
dress about seventy-fve yards beyond,
where she had been partially CON
cealed by the fence. She was run
ming rs last as she could, apparently
crying, and looking back in terrified
manner, but she stopped when she
beheld my approach.
L Ileaped off headlong at full speed,
swung her astride the upper tube, and
commanded her to grip the handle
bars for dear life. In tea seconds we
were off again, but even with this
slight delay the sound of the tornado
had come up louder and nearer. 1t
was gaining rapidly, and appeared
not more than 200 yards behind. AS
/ looked it encountered great barn,
and with ripping roar some hun
dreds of shingles ascended into the
air, still further deepening the SOM
Der hue of the gyrating body.
The next cross .road was only half
mile ahead, but it was the freshly
graveled one leading past our farm,
and l could not turn upon it. 1t was
consequently necessary to ride full
mile and half before reaching an
other. The additional weight on the
machine told severely on my muscles,
and L would gladly have taken to the
fields now, but Ethel was too heavy
to be carried, and she could not mus
ter up sufficient speed on her own
legs to evade the fast approaching
"twister.
1t was clear that the race could not
last 80. 1 had almost forgotten the
sail, snugly lashed to the mast before
me, but the thought now came to me
like an inspiration. dared not dis
mount to unfurl it, but clutched the
handle-bars with one hand and ner-
vously undid the ~ 1ts with the other.
