First GreenlnG Apple Tree.

The American Cultivator says thai
the original Greenlng apple tree is still
standing on the farm of Solomon
browne at Mount Hygeia, IN Nortl
Foster, r. 1. The tree was a very old
one when the farm was sold In 1901
The seller Informed the purchaser that
it was pity the old tree was going tc
decay, as it produced the best fruit OF
any tree In the orchard. The purchaser
determined to see how long he could
keep it alive. and It still survives after
almost another century has been added
to its venerable years. But 1t shows
signs Of final decay, and the parent Of
oil the famous Rhode Island Greetings,
which has set its CRAFTS on the orchards
of almost all the world, will soon be
but neighborhood memory.

A TRAIN ROBBING MYSTERY
The Epidemic Is Over, but the Rail-
road Men Don't Know Why.


Maybe you have noticed" said the
western railroad manager east on lit.
tie business trip, that the epidemic
of train robbing that broke out In Ne
braska, Colorado and Wyoming about
n year ago is over. Maybe, too, you
think that 1t is because the railroad
companies ran the guilty fellows to
earth and sent them up for long terms.
But they didn't.
GAS a matter Of fact, the railroad au-
thorities are just as much puzzled over
the sudden subsistence of the train rob
bling fever as anybody else. Whether
the business was so unremunerative as
not to be worth the risk, whether some
of the fellows got in Jail for running a
little side line like bank blowing or safe
cracking, nobody knows. It's a big
mystery to US.
"a year ago the pistol singers had
the western roads terrOriZed. They
sent out their detectives the moment
word came in that a robbery had been
committed, bloodhounds were bought
and armed guards employed to ride Oh
all trains that might be thought to be
attractive TO thieves But they never
caught anybody.
"In most cases the robbers are pref
ty hard to trail Then, if you are ever
lucky enough TO catch one, you can't
find anybody to identify him. When a
train robber with mask over his face
and business looking gun waving
back and forth in his right mitt is sud
denly projected into your vicinity, nei-
Their trainman nor passenger is likely
TO get much Of glimpse Of his features
or to remember them if he did
about ten months ago the Burling
tons train for the northwest was held
up at Bradshaw, Neb. 1t was only
about 40 miles from headquarters, and
In less than two hours detectives and
bloodhounds were on the trail They
followed the three fellows that did the
Job over three states within a week of
the robbery, and, although they kept
the closest kind of a watch on them,
they could find out nothing that would
Justify an arrest. The two or three
hours start the fellows are certain to
secure every time enables them to hide
their plumber in some cache and to
change their DISCUSSES.
'The theory Of the detectives Is that
most OF the robbers are now in prison
on other charges. and they look for q I
renewal Of this style of hold up in a few
years. The fact is, though, that no
body knows."-New York Sun.

This world is not our all. Man is
not limited by centuries. Faith looks
from man up to God. Science has
weighed the suns and determined their
elements, but faith sees the hand which
made and upholds them all.
Archaeology has gone back TO earliest
ages and read their history on monu-
ments and tablets, but faith goes back
of archaeology and reads 'in the begin
ning-God."
Ethnology has traced Adams family
from paradise down. but faith traces
their future to the paradise above.
Science In our day has formulated
many of the laws of life, but faith lays
hold of the source of all life.-Homi-

Fields of Salt.

At Salton. in southern California, ex
lists n basin of land between 200 and
200 feet below sea level. About 1,0OC
acres of the depressed area are GOV.
cred with deposit Of salt, which G. F.
Holden describes In The Scientific
American as one Of the sights Of Call
fornia. The salt is first thrown into
ridges by a peculiarly shaped plow,
drawn by a dummy engine with ca
bles. and then is piled into conical
heaps before being carried to the dry
Ing house and crushing mill. The ex-
panse looks like field Of snow. About
1000 tons Of salt are removed each
year. but the supply is perennially re-
newed by the deposits Of salt springs
which flow into the basin. In June the
temperature Of the air reaches $50 de-
grees. and only Indian workmen can
withstand the heat and glare.

Tigers Make Believe Eyes.

Mr.. Beddard of the London Zoologi
cal society calls attention to a pecul
iarity of the ears Of tigers which BIZ
thinks may be classed under the heat
Of protective markings" On the back
Of each ear is very bright white spot
and when the ears are directed for
ward these spots are conspicuous from
the front Mr.. Beddard suggests that
when the tiger is sleeping in the dim
light Of a cave or thicket the spots on
Its ears may appear to an enemy, look
Ing Ia. as the CLEAN Of its watchful
eyes, and thus save the sleeper from an
unexpected attack.

While Cynthy pens UP Reuben's men
Or Reuben captures hers.
Sometimes tho old man takes hand
To show his practiccd skill,
And then the iarmhands circle round
While every one is still.
They would not say single word
That would distract his play;
So breathless they observe him drive

which comes from close personal friend OF the
Armour family who In a position 10 share Mr.
Arrnour's confidence. and who since Mr. Armour's
death has been apprised OF the conditions imposed
in his Will.
Mr.. Armour took precaution 10 place the nsti

original plan of a great technical school was de-
veloped TO its utmost. He always held the highest
opinion of DR.. Frank W. Gunsauus. until recent
Iy the president Of Armour Institute and it is be-
Heved BY those who know the great packer best
that the destiny OF institute will be sha ped by
DR.. GunsauIus's future.
Every indication is that the technical school that

lasting monument to Mr. Armour's belief in practi-
cal education Most persons who are at all familiar
with the future plans OF the Armour Institute be-
Meve that it will be affiliated with the University

CHIN4's MODEST REQUESTS.
A FEW THINGS THE ENJOYS AT PEKING
WOULD LIKE TO SEE DONE

Picking. Jan. Is delayed in transmission
The note which accompanied the agreement de-
lvered by the Chinese PIenipotentiaries reiterat-
ed the Chinese objections already published. add
ing thereto a request for the immediate return
Of the public buildings and the total cessation OF
military expeditions, the desire for definition
Of the limits OF the legations. also desire for
the removal of the troops a. early as possible.
The German and French officials seem to think
It unwise for the troops 10 leave Picking for sew
eral months. The French especially object 10
what they call the cowardly behavior of other
nations in not protecting the Chinese Christians"
For that reason they believe it will be necessary
10 keep the troops at least another year. The
English. Americans and Russians seemingly
think a gradual withdrawal be made as
soon as the river opens, about the beginning OF
March.
The Chinese are anxious 10 have the indern-
mites payable TO the different nations adjudged
before an international committee. A majority
Of the Ministers here seem 70 think that their
governments may make separate arrangements
with China. The Ministers will shortly hold
meeting to consider the next step TO be taken
No formal reply will be sent to the Chinese OBJ
jections but they viii be considered.
