sented many dry tassels and undevel-
oped ears.
On the South Pascoe corn fields the
beneficial effect of the shelter of the
grove is noticeable for at least one hum
dred yards to the north, but this is
largely offset by the fact that ten to
twelve rows of corn next the grove are
badly dwarfed by the shade of the tall
cottonwoods. An excellent little grove
is that on Division G., consisting of
young catalpas and close row of will
lows. The beneficial effects upon the
corn to the north are quite noticeable
almost to the ditch, distance Of about
two hundred yards.
The first thirty to forty rows Of corn
OH the south of the Daley are strikingly
better than any other portion of the
field, although the soil-is practically the
same, and the good effect of the shelter
is noticeable almost half way across the
field.
The only place where beneficial
effect upon beet field could be detect
ed was upon the Wisner Immediately to
the north of the grove at the southeast
corner of the field.
AS the main consideration with us
here in Nebraska is to minimize the
devastating effects of the hot south
winds which generally prevail during
dry time, the one great purpose of our
tree plantations should be to check the
force of these winds and as far as pos
sible keep them off our fields. Bearing
this in mind, three points-the form,
condition and position of the planta-
tions-were kept in view throughout
the observations and their relative
effects carefully noted. These three
points were found to be Of the greatest
Importance in determining the extent of
the beneficial effects produced.
Tall trees, such as those of the Pascoe
grove and the rows about the Horse
Pasture, seem to be of doubtful benefit
in that the good they do is largely off
set by the amount of shade they pro-
duce, and having long clean trunks the
wind sweeps over the ground almost
unobstructed. Low, spreading trees,
such as the willows on North Mills and
the small grove on Division G are al
most ideal shelters. Their growth is
quite close right down to the ground
and they are not tall enough to keep
sunlight from the crops near by.
AS regards position, only those groves
and tree rows situated to the south of
fields were observed to be of any benefit
as shelters, and this will be found to be
the case in almost any season of drouth,
as the only winds to be feared at such
times come from southerly direction.
Large groves will check and cool off

anointed the other day in the church
by Archbishop Corrigan. assisted by
Rev. Father Connolly and a large

At the church the archbishop
blessed the water and the salt, after
which a number of the clergymen
washed the bell with the fluid, inside
and out, and dried it carefully with
towel. The master of ceremonies
then made with chalk seven crosses
on the outside and four crosses on
the inside of the bell, and in each
spot indicated the archbishop an

A dish bearing q mixture of thyme,
incense and myrrh was placed under
the mouth Of the bell and set on fire.

DAzzLED BY CLARK's METHOD
London People Retailing Story Con.
ceruing the Montana
Senator.

A good story is told of Senator
Clark, who returns next month to New
York to attend his sons wedding. IL
is well known that the senator prides
himself that his new house at Seventy
second street and Fifth avenue will
surpass anything else in New York.
Judging from the number of pictures
he has been buying in Paris it may
challenge the'Metropolitan museum it,
self as an art gallery.
During it's construction the builder
approached the senator to inform him
that he would be obliged to add $780,
900 to the contract price owing to an
advance in the cost of stone.
The senator said: "Go ahead"
A few weeks later the builder again
spoke to the senator. 81 am afraid
there will be another increase soon to
the stone contract" he said. ''The peo-
pie down at the quarry have put in
new machinery and built railway,
and are doing all sorts of things, which,
of course, will have to pay for"
Don't worry" replied the senator.
"I'll take the contract to supply that
stone. l don't propose to let a little
thing like that interfere with the
building of my house. So I have
bought n quarry. You can have the
stone at the price you originally con-
tracted for. Now push ahead"

TO MAKE SPECIAL TEST.
ON Electric Road Between Berlin
and ZOssen to BE Made.

There is in Europe an association for
the study of electric rapid transit rail-
roads which has issued it's report for
1900. Among other things, it isstated
that the elevated track of the military
road between Berlin and Zossen, upon
which experiments will soon be made,
has been carefully inspected and
strengthened. 1t is hoped to attain a
speed of 1875 miles an hour. Two cars
will be employed, which are supplied
with the strong machines required and
will hold from 40 to so passengers.
The construction of the cars and their
equipment differ in order to make mani.
fold experiments. Each car will have
four motors, aggregating from 1,1OO
to 5000 horse power, two three-axle
movable trucks, and the necessary
transmitters, switching apparatus,
etc. The cars will be TN feet long
and will weigh 90 tons. The effect OF
this speed on the elevated track will
also be noted. The experiments will
doubtless prove of the highest impor-
tance for the improvement of rapid
transit, although it may be found that
the speed contemplated will not be
feasible.

A translation of an article in Q
Berlin publication regarding German
enterprise in Central America has
been received at the state depart
ment from Vice Consul General MUIR

Central American enterprises. Ger
man plantations occupy an area of
740, 900 acres. 1t also is further stat
ed that large German business houses
in Nicaragua, Guatemala and Costa

trade of the five republics with Eng.
land and California. The shipping
trade also. along the Central Amer.

BOGUS EXHIBITION IN PARIS.
DistinEuished e d French men Lend Their
Patronage without Inves-

Some commotion has been caused
among the members of the French
academy and other distinguished
Frenchmen of Paris who find them
selves in the position of having pat
ronized a bogus exhibition rejoicing
in the high-sounding title of "Exposi-
tion Permanente ct Internationale

moderate-sized room in an ordinary

a melancholy ham and some trimmed
vegetables formed the principal part
of the exhibition. Every one Of the
exhibitors was, of course, given q gold
medal and grand prix.
NJ. Gully Prudhomme, of the French
academy, has been unwary enough to
let himself be named as president.
and as such, in company with half q

he signed all diplomas presented to
him. When the real character Of the
affair was made public he and all the

STEADY GROWTH.
Gratifying Development Of hmeri-
can Trade in Sco;lan..
Food Products and Numerous Variety
OF Manufactures I'm Great Demand
scotchmen Appreciate the
Merits Of an Article.

The bureau of foreign commerce
of the state department has just
made public advance sheets of Com
mercial Relations for 1900" which
deal with American trade in Scotland.
The tide of American imports into
Scotia ind, it is stated, steadily rises.
This is true not only of our food
products, which are in almost uni
versal demand, but also to nnmer-
Gus variety of manufactures. During
the past year the quantity of Amer
lean goods in the markets of eastern
Scotland has been much larger than
ever before and the volume of trade
visibly greater. The market which
has been gained for many lines of
our manufactures is permanent
one, il is stated. A growing prefer
ence for American goods is held ac-
countablc for this very encouraging
state of affairs in Scotland. 1t Is
pointed out that while the Scotsman
Is a somewhat fastidious buyer, he
becomes a most devoted and profit
able customer when once assured OF
the merits of an article offered for
sale. II is this phase of the Scottish
character which has prompted Amer
lean exporters and manufacturers to
consider this commercial field as one
apart from England, and to deal with
It accordingly.
Social and economic conditions, it
Is said. have not been affected by the
South African war Business in near
l,, ,lI Il, hnnn
tive. but the depression in the iron
and steel trade resulting from the
| high prices of raw material and fuel,
as well as from American, German
and Belgian competition. will, it is
feared. soon be severely felt in in.
dustrial communities.
OF the great number of articles
which the United States now sends
regularly to Scotland, perhaps the
most marked increase. except in food
products. has been noted in the sale
of hardware. Our woodward has also
secured an important position in this
market. Other American productions
which are gradually mounting to
higher favor are American furniture,
boots and shoes. rubber goods, ma
chinery and tools, wire and wire
goods (whose importa ton last year
doubled that of 1s99). leather. oil
clocks and watches, paints, drugs and
chemicals, organs. glassware. confec.
tionery and number of other ar.
ticles. About 1000 beams and plates
needed in the construction of the
new North British railway station
in Edinburgh were supplied by the
United States. A vast increase in
the importation of American barley
since 1899 has been noted. and de.
crease in the import of corn. There
IS a growing trade in fruits, meats
and nearly all articles of food.

Opportunities For Young Men.

Young graduates of the scientific
and technical course offered by our
universities find it more difficult each
year to obtain good salaried positions.
So misunderstanding of the profes-
sions is said to be the cause Of this.
I'm reality, however, the demand is as
great as ever, the only difference now
is that better men are wanted. The
demand for the top article increases
every day, while that of the medium
grade goods is decreasing. In NO
profession is this better illustrated

MISS HELD's BEAR CUB.
Makes Doubtful Hit with the Direc-
tor Of the Central Park,
n. ", Zoo.

Anna Held's bear cub Is now the
property of the Central park zoo at
New York. Miss Held made the pres
entation herself the other afternoon.
Director Smith received the gift on
behalf of the public. There were
several little speeches at the cere-
mony, but not such speeches as Miss
Held. at least, expected. The actress,
accompanied by her husband, Flor
ence Ziegfeld, carrying the cub in a
specially constructed leather bag, ar
rived at the zoo at four o'clock.
When the cub had been rolled on the
floor Director Smith looked it over.
"How old is it?" he asked.
"He's nine weeks DID," replied Miss
Held.
"Why. he should be twice that big"
Then Mr.. Smith pressed the button
of the bear department and presently
a keeper came in. The keeper looked
at the cub.
"Why, it has the mango. What
have you been giving it?" asked he.
"No, he hasn't the mango. ! gave
him milk. He got that look from be-
ing in his little cage" Miss Held ex.
planned. "I have lot of bear food
over at the Savoy. I'll send it," she
added.
"Never mind about your bear food
he don't want it," said the keeper
Miss Held looked crestfallen.

is that we place a tag on his cage
which will say: Presented by Miss
Anna Held said Miss Held's husband
"Wcll. the public won't see that
bear for some time to come. We will
send him to the outhouse until he
gets about five times that big" said

Unless more false notes are fioated
by June 80, the fiscal year ending at
that time will break the record in the
small number of counterfeits put in

the present time but four new coun-

The next smallest number circulated
was in 1921, when six counterfeits
were palmed OF on the public. Twen-

spurious notes ever floated in one
year. The fortunate condition is un-
doubtedly due to the, moral effect of
the arrest of the Jacobs gang, which
