"COEOS"eIN' BATTLE.

Lively ScrimmaEe Between SOphs
and Freshmen at Olivet College.
The freshman girls at Olivet college,
says an Olivet (Mich.D dispatch TO the
Chicago Record Herald, have demon
strated that they can take care of them
selves. The sophomores can testify to
this fact The witnesses are minus
much hair. many buttons and neckties,
while the victorious girls have accumu-
lated enough hair Of various hues to
stuff a large sofa pillow. They also
have a choice collection of collars, coat
bands and remnants of clothing.
The freshman girls were giving par
ty in the Adelphic hall. The festivities
had barely begun when vigilant SEN
den in the attic, their intention being
TO make a raid on the dainty refresh
ments provided by the girls for their
guests. Then the trouble began. The
attic door was bolted and the intruders
made prisoners.
Meanwhile other sophomores outside,
hearing the commotion, attempted to
rescue their fellows. Entering the base
ment. they turned off the gas, and,
bursting into the hall, began pitched
battle. The girls fought desperately
and after the manner of their sex. Bit
ing, tearing clothes. scratching faces
and pulling hair. One unfortunate
sophomore. after losing nearly all her
hair. was unceremoniously thrown out
of a window by three muscular young
women. This brought the battle TO Il
close, and the invaders hastily with
drew after liberating their confeder
ates in the attic.

gether with three cavalry brigades.
The strength of an English division on
a war footing is only 10000 men, while
similar German division numbers
about 10000 meE. Germany can trans
port six infantry divisions or one cav
airy brigade and five infantry divisions
to England in very short time. How
the operation could be carried out must
not. of course, be explained here. but
this can he said. that it can be done
within little more than thirty hours in
favorable weather from German har-
bors in the North sea. Large tracts of
the English coast furnish good landing
places for troops. and the country itself
has so many resources that an inyad-
ing army could live on them for long
time. On the other hand, the island is
not large enough to allow English
troops to destroy a once victorious hos
tile army. 1t is unlikely that such a
war would last very long. and consid-
cradle re-enforcements would, there
fore, not be needed"

TO DREDGE THE PACIFIC.
Expedition Under Auspices of Leland
Stanford University.


A United States ship-a steamer, not
a gunboat-is to be sent into the Pacif-
ic off the coast of Hawaii. This infor-
nation was received at Iowa City. Ia,
the other day by President George E.
MacLean of the University Of Iowa
from President David Starr Jordan of
the Leland Stanford university, says
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat The lat
ter scientist will be among those in
charge of the expedition, which will
sail from San Francisco Dec. / on
board the Albatross bound on a deep
water dredging tour of five months
duration.
President Jordan invited Professor
G. c.. Nutting of the chair of zoology,
University of Iowa, to assume charge
Of the department devoted to hydroids
and animal life. The Iowa regents
granted their savant a leave of alb
sence in order that he may join the
expedition. President Jordan in his
letter to DIR. MacLean says, 1.-The Alba
tross party will have unequaled oppor-
tunities for making a collection Of
creatures in a region absolutely I'M
touched, as but one series Of dredgings
has been made in that part Of the Pa
cific we purpose studying"

NEW FOOD FOR STOCK.
Satisfactory Experiments In the
Growth of the Cassava Plant.

Satisfactory Experiments In tht
Growth of the Cassava Plant.
Mr. G. Menalas, a well known cottor
buyer of Jackson, Miss, who owns 6
valuable farm in Lincoln county an(
on which he has conducted many yalu
able experiments during past years
has recently turned his attention Il
the cassava plant and now has samples
on exhibition at the state treasurer
Office In Jackson. Mr.. Menalas secured
the seed from Florida and planted II
during the month of May, which was a
month or two too late. But the result
says the st. Louis GlobeDemocrat has
been highly satisfactory.
On single plant there Is at least a
peck of large, fine roots which look
and taste very much like the sweet po-
tato. From this first years growth Mr..
Menalas is confident he has sufficient
seed or Joints to plant two acres next
year, and he does not doubt it will pro-
duce something like 600 tons to the
acre, perhaps considerably more. II it
does. the problem of how to produce
cheap meat in the south is settled for
all time to come. as pound of the
cassava is known to be equal to two
pounds of corn for fattening purposes.

In late years men have made for
tunes out of the fallings of gold
mines. The mills in which the ore
formerly was crushed and the crude
processes then in use allowed a large
percentage of the precious metal to es-
cape, and that loss amounted in some
cases to a fortune. The stomach is
just like a stamp mill in this respec',
that when it is not in perfect order il
allows the escape and waste of much
of the precious nutriment contained in
the food. That loss when continuous
means the loss of mans greatest for
tune-health. Science soffers a rem
edy for this condition in DR.. Pierce g
Golden Medical Discovery. II corrects
the IVY eakness" of the stomach, pre-
vents waste and loss of nouris hment,
and puts the stomach and organs of
digestion and nutrition into condition
of health which. enables them to save
and assimilate all the nutriment con-
tanned in the foo0 which is eaten. In
all cases of constipation the use of DIR.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets will speedily
and permanently cure the disease.

TEUTOnS AND BRITONS
German Army Officer Talks of
Conflict With England.
VIEWS OF BARON WON EDELsHEIM

Claims One Hundred Thousand Men
Could BE Landed on the English
Coast In About Thirty HOurs-Quiek
Naval Action Might Gain Tempo
rary Success-As TO War With
Americans.
Considerable attention Is attracted in
Berlin by pamphlet just published
by Baron Won Edelsheim, an officer in
che chief general staff of the German
army, in which he declares that Ger
many could throw 100000 men on the
English coast within very short time
The baron put forward his statement
as a matter of absolute certainty, and
it is considered somewhat curious that
he is permitted by his government to
publish it, says the New York Sun. He
also discusses the possibility Of landing
troops in Russia and France and pro
ceeds to contemplate the hypothesis of
a war between Germany and the Unit
ed States.
He starts from the assumption that
Germany must one day be involved in
a conflict because the growth of her
traffic and commerce is a source of
danger to England. He holds the opin-
ion that Germany might hope to secure
some success at sea shortly after hos
tilities began. as the German navy
would start mobilization first, but be-
fore long England would be able to set
such powerful naval forces in action
that Germany would be reduced to de-
fensive tactics, in which success could
not be reckoned upon. His paper pro-
ceeds:
"England's weakness is our strength.
The land forces of the English army
correspond neither in strength nor in
quality with her position as a great
power. England is convinced that ev-
cry hostile invasion can be prevented
by her feet, but this conviction is not
by any means we'll founded. Even If
England after a time could set in mo-
ton great naval. forces, those which
would be ready at the beginning are
not so overwhelming that an opponent
essentially weaker at sea who has ev-
erything ready may not have a chance
of scoring a temporary success. Ger
many must throw part of her land
forces on the English coast and thus
bring the conflict to an issue on land,
where German troops are much supe-
rior to English"
After summing up the shortcomings
of England's land forces the baron de-
clares that only her present standing
army and regular reserve can be count
ed on in case Of sudden invasion. as
the Others would take a considerable
time to mobilize. He observes:
I'VE must also take account of their
slight fighting value compared with
well trained German troops. The only
troops ready in England for action are
three divisions of the First army corps,
about two divisions of the Second and
a combined division of the Third to.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

For house plants avoid weak or lanky
plants and those in rank growth. Sc
lect the stockiest you can find.
After plants are put into the pots set
them near together in partly shaded
place until they have recovered from
the check.
On the lawn in autumn the grass
should not be cut too close. Enough
should be left to protect the roots dur
ing cold weather, but not enough to
smother the lower leaves.
Sod is an excellent protection to an
orchard in winter and should not be
plowed under unless for an urgent
reason. If It is plowed, apply good
dressing of manure as mulch to pro-
tect the trees
1t is nearly always best for the first
two years after setting fruit trees Out
to keep them mulched during midsum-
mer and from the time the ground
freezes hard In the fall or early winter
until the frost Is out of the ground in
the snring.

HER ATTRACTION FOR GOLD
Curious Stony Told by Scientific
Man OF Il Little Girl In Haiti.


Man OF Il Little Girl In Haiti.
\ critic writing Of Il new book the
other day objected to the statement in
Il chapter on the precious metals that
gold is one Of the few metals that is
often found ,-urc." He said that the
author in making this statement was
certainly mistaken. OF course, the au-
thor was NOT mistaken, and it was a
curious blunder for any one to make
to deny ,hat pure gold is found far and
wide over the world, i'll very fine parti-
cles or in coarser pieces. in narrow
beds of mountain streams, in fine
sands at the mouths of rivers, in the
sands of the seashore and even in
places high up on the sides OF noun
tains. While this statement is per-
fectly true. it is also fact that most
gold is found alleged with other metals
and that ore crushing, smelling and
other processes are required to ob1an
the moro valuable metal.
a story has just been told about pure
gold, found IN this instance in river
sands, that reads Ike one of the SUI
perb fictions of yellow Journalism. No
one would give II the slightest credence
if II were not told by scientific man
Of unquestion.bie authority, for it is
one CT the scangest narratives that
ever adorned a Very dry and thorough
~ scientific piece of writing.
1t comes from the pen of Mr.. l.. Cen
til Tippcnhauer, who has been making
a geological investigation for the gov
crnment of the island of Haiti. The
results Of his work, with maps, have
been published in a series of papers in
Peterman's Mlttcilungen, one of the
most scientific of German publications.
The following is Il translation of the
story as it appears at the end of Mr.
Tippenhaucr's papers:
II will make mention. in conclusion,
of very peculiar phenomenon. AS l
was engaged in n microscopic investi-
CATION of the gold bearing river sands
l observed that the thirteen year-old
daughter of my companion, Mr. l..
Aboilard, had only to lay the fat of her
hand on the sands and particles OF
Solt uISl NOuiu duleTC 10 II. Every
time she repeated the action her palm
was almost covered with the gold dust
that continued to cling to II. When
ever she grasped handful of sand
she would shake her hand: the sand
would fall to the ground. but the
flakes Of gold would remain clinging
to the hand.
mo oth0' person present possessed
this peculiar ability. Since then all
the educated Europeans in Jac1nel, in-
Guiding DR.. Zervas, geologist and rep
resentative of the Standard Oil com
pany; Mr.. Roosmale Ncpven and Mr.
Dorm, Dutchmen, owners Of the gold
reduction works at ,Paramaribo. and
others, have borne witness to the fact
that the young girl possesses this re-
markable popularity. The numberless
particles Of iron mixed in the sand did
not cling to the girls hand.
II must therefore come to the con-
clusion that there Is in nature power
whose Influence in attracting gold is
similar to that which magnetism eX-
erts upon iron and the related miner
ais. The daughter Of Mr.. Aboilard
seems to have this power New York
