LIMITATIONS OF THE CORN BELT


While there are many million acres
on this continent now unimproved
which may be made to produce any
of the common cereals except corn, it
is fact worth noting that the limita.
tons of the corn belt are well defined
and established, and, what is of more
Importance, such territory is fully set
tied. In other words. the territorial
area, upon which the corn plant win
do well is now all in use and no fur
Their increase in the country's produc-
ton of corn can be expected save as
better farming may increase the yield
per acre. This is fact of the great
est Importance as affecting all men
who may be fortunate enough to own
land within the limits of such corn belt,
for corn is the most valuable forage
plant and meat and milk producer
there is in all the world.

WHY SPARROWS DO NOT MIGHATEs
We are asked why it is that the Eng
lish sparrow does not migrate-seek a
warmer climate when winter comes.
1t is the question Of food supply
which largely determines the migra-
tons of birds and not because they are
not hardy enough to endure the cold of
the winter. Thus, all wild fowls have
their food supply entirely shut off
when the lakes and rivers freeze up,
while the death or Information of all
insect life compels the departure of all
insectivorous birds. The sparrow is
just simply scavenger, his main food
supply being obtained from the partly
digested grains in the offal of the
horse, and so it comes that wherever
horses are kept there will the sparrow
be able to winter. Then, it is very
hardy bird and one which more than
any other bird has the ability to adjust
itself to almost any climatic condition.
A hailstorm in July viii kill ten times
as many sparrows as a blizzard in
winter -

Admiral Higglnson. who commanded

Squadron, gave his testimony brusque.
ly. He related the particulars OF the
run from Key West to Cienfuegos ana
beyond, said that he had not been ad-
yised by Commodore Schley Of any
plan of attack upon the Spanish yes
sells. If met, that the blockade on San
tiago was maintained at from three to
one and one-half miles, and that the
line was closer to shore at night than
during the day.
Objection was made to the inquiry
by Judge Advocate Lemly as to what
impression was made upon the wit:
ness by Rear-Admiral Schley's con-
duct during the brief firing upon the
Cristobal Colon in the mouth of San
tiago Harbor on May 81, and was sus-
tanned. Later, several questions pro.
posed by the Court were submitted
by Judge Advocate Lemly, one OF
which, understood to have been framed
by Rear-Admiral Benham, sought to
ascertain whether the witness thought
Commodore Schley had done every
thing in his power to capture or de:
stroy the Colon, and was answered by
Admiral Higginson with, mo; l
don't think it was" before the oDJec-
tion of Rear-Admiral Schley's counsel
could be made. After argument by
Mr.. Raynor, the question was with
drawn.
CAPTAIN Giles B. Harber, who was
executive officer of the Texas, differed
from Rear-Admiral Higginson In that
he stated that the Hockading distances
maintained by Commodore Schley
were from seven to ten miles Instead
Of from one to three. and also In as.
serting that the distance observed at
night was greater than that held by
day. With regard to the difficulties
of coaling at Santiago he made less OF
them than Rear:Admiral Higginson,
saying that they were not greater than
at Tortugas when lie had coaled the
Texas there.
Major Thomas N. Wood, Marine
Corps, who was Captain Of the Marine
Guard on the Massachusetts,, repeated
an overheard remark said to have
been made by Commodore Schley, dur
ing the firing at Santiago on May 81.
when Wood was eight feet away from
the conversation. Schley was report
ed to have said: "Starboard your
helm, and let's get out Of this" Rear
Admiral Higginson did not refer to
this direction by Commodore Schley.
When questioned by the Judge Advo-
cate about this remark, the witness as
serted that he had heard it "fairly dis;
tinctly."
The proceedings Of the day brought
no surprises except the conflict OF
testimony of Higginson and HARDER
as to the blockading distances OBJ
served by the fleet under Schley.

The Man With O "Weak Heart"

Dr.. James F. Goodhart, consulting
physician to Guys Hospital, in the
evening delivered an address before
crowded meeting in the Princess Hall.
Speaking on the subject of medicine,
he said the morbid sensitiveness OF
people in the present day was well
shown by the rapidity with which they
fly to medicine. Doctors tend to make
their standard too severe for practical
purposes. He hated the term "weak

Was It One of Alfred's Ships?

In the course Of some excavations
which were being made in the River
Lea the other day the old hulk Of a
ship, supposed to belong to the Anglo

semblance to an old picture in the

the hulk may have belonged to a fleet
with which King Alfred fought the

MISS STONES CAPTURE
3rigands Surrounded the Mission
ary in a Narrow Valley.
story Told by Missionaries TAKEN With
Her and Afterward Released-Board
of Missions to Pay q Ransom.

Boston, Mass.-Details of the recent
capture of Miss Stone, the American
missionary. and one Of her helpers, by
brigands In Turkey are made known
in q letter just received here by. the
American Board of Commissioners for
Foreign Missions. The facts became
known to one of the missionaries Of
the board in Samokoo, European Tur-
key, who were members Of the party
with whom Miss Stone and her assist
ant, Mrs. Tailka, were travelling when
the capture was made.
They could give no information as
to where Miss Stone and her compan-
ion were taken, as the two women dis
appeared in the night and the rest of
the party were detained under guard
for a time. Finally the robbers re-
lleved these captives Of watches and
other valuables and departed. The
missionaries made their way at once
to SamokoO.
According to the story told by these
victims the capture was made at 4
o'clock in the afternoon on September
8, while Miss Stone and Mrs. Tilka,
the wife Of an Albanian preacher,
were travelling with friends from Ban
sko to Djumao. There were fifteen
to eighteen in the party. The bandits
confronted them in narrow valley
and compelled them to wade q river
and ascend a wood mountain for about
an hour. There appeared to be about
forty brlgands. dressed like Turks, but
speaking good Bulgarian.
At length a stopping place was
Stone and Mrs. Tailka were missed,
and it was apparent that the main
body of outlaws had departed, leaving
only a guard. Later this guard COM
PEELED the captives to give up their
watches, money and jewelry, after
which they disappeared up the mount
ain, leaving the missionaries free.
The authorities did not learn Of the
capture until nearly twenty-four
hours after it had occurred, and 1t Is
thought this gave all the chance the
brigands needed to reach safe hiding
place. 1t is thought that they may
have entered Bulgaria, and the army
has received special instructions to
guard the border closely and follow up
any traces of the marauders which
they may find.
Washington, D. Gin reply to the
inquiry from the State Department as
to whether 1t would pay the ransom
demanded by the Bulgarian brigands
who kidnapped Miss Stone. one of Its
missionaries, the American Board Of
Missions has, said that it has charged
its representative in Constantinople
to pay a ransom for the woman, leay-
ine the price to be arranged by him.
