HOW AcUlNALDo WAS CAPTURED
The Filipino Leader Describes How He
Was Taken Prisoner.

" az A&AA&AA \ AAANhNAa
After talking with Tai Placldo and
Segovia for fifteen or twenty minutes,
gave orders that the newly arrived
men be allowed to fall out and go to
rest in the quarters which had been
prepared for them, says Emil Aguin-
aldo in Everybody's Magazine. Cap
tain Segovia Immediately left the
house and returned to the place where
his men were drawn up waiting for
him. AS he came up to them Segoyia
shouted, in a loud voice. an order
which we did not hear distinctly and
did not understand Instantly his men
began to shoot at the soldiers Of my
guard, taking them completely by sur
prise.
When the LrinS began, not suspect
ing any plan against myself, thought
Il was q salute with blank cartridges,
and having this in mind, ran to the
window and cried out several times,
cease firing" But seeing that the
firing continued and that the bullets
from the rifles Of the attacking party
were directed against me as well as
against the soldiers Of my guard, I
for the first time realized that the
newcomers were enemies / hurried
ly left the window and ran into an
other room in the hope ci finding some
that the house was already surround
ed. Then l seized a revolver, intend
ing to defend myself, but DR.. BARGE
Iona threw both arms around me, cry
ing out, Don't sacrifice yourself The
country needs your life" Thus I was
prevented from carrying out my In
tention. Colonel Villa ran from the
house in an attempt to break through
the lines Of the enemy and rally our
men, but he was shot three times and
finally taken prisoner.
When the firing commenced, Tai
Placldo threw himself down on the
floor to avoid the bullets, but now he
got up and told us that we were
prisoners of the Americans, who, he
said were on the other side of the
river with four hundred American SOL
dicrs, and would soon be here. Just
at this time several of Tai Placido's
soldiers came into the house shouting,
"Hurrah for the Macabebesw and sur
rounded Barcelona and myself. A lit
tie later five America rs, all armed
with carbines, came into the room
where we were They came up to us,
and one of them asked, (Which of you
is Aguinaldo" AS soon as had been
identified by the Americans 1 was
placed, with DR.. Barcelona and Col
onel Villa, in one Of the rooms Of the
house, and guards were posted at all
the windows and doors, under COM
mand of one of the Americans. The
other four Americans then began to
search the house for whatever papers
and documents might be there.
We were then informed that our
captors were General Funston, Cap
tains Newton and Hazard, and Lieu
tenants Hazard and Mitchell.

Growing Forrest Tress.

Those who desire to grow forest
trees Of any kind for shade or orna-
mental trees should remember that
there is no better time to gather the
seed than when 1t ripens upon the
tree, and no better time for sowing 1t
than that when it would be self sown
by falling from the tree. That is, If
the tree is a native Of the place where
1t is to be grown. If from a warmer
climate it may be necessary TO start
the seed under glass, and protect it in
some way during a few Of the first
winters while :! is small At the Arm
old Arboretum by this method they
have acclimated and grown in this
way some trees and shrubs that are
not native here, and seldom found
north Of Mason and Dixon's line. The
seeds from these plants are more
hardy than those from Southern plants
and thus they can be made to endure
our colder northern climate, and the
northern limit of their growth is grad

H HE Kentucky Good Roads
Convention recently held In
Louisville resulted IN the for
nation Of a permanent State
Good Roads Association, which VIII
hold annual conventions hereafter
Most conventions are devoted chiefly
to speechmaking, and the Kentucky
Good Roads Convention was no ex-
ception to this rule. How could 400
Kentuckians IN convention assembled
restrain themselves from indulglng
literally in oratory?
The Kentucky roadmakers did not
conhne themselves to speechmaklng,
however A Good Roads" train load
ed with samples Of roadmaklng ma
chlnery was sent to the meeting place
of the convention by the National
Good Roads Association. Those in
charge of this train graded a mile Of
dirt road with the most effective ma
chlnery now In use for that purpose,
and invited the convention to be pres
ent and see it done. The delegates to
the convention have since scattered
themselves to the four corners of Ken
lucky to teach their neighbors how to
make the best possible dirt roads with
the smallest outlay Of the taxpayers
money. The "Good Roads" train, with
It's machinery, is travelling from con-
vention to convention, furnishing prac-
teal object lessons in good road build
ing.
This practical feature of the Ken
lucky Good Roads Convention marks
a distinct and notable advance in the
evolution Of country highways For
more than half a century the Ameri-
can people have concerned themselves
chiefly with the construction and ex-
tension of railways While doing so
they have neglected the local high
ways, evidently satisfied that any old
road would do to drive over to the
nearest railway station. They are
getting rid of this idea however, and
Ire recognizing the necessity for bet
~ country highways. Good roads
conventions serve an excellent educa-
tiOnal purpose in this direction, and
when those who participate in the pub
lie agitation of the subject are per-
mitted to secure practical instruction
in modern road building a double pur-
pose is served. The Kentucky Good
Roads Convention. with It's mile of
practical roadmaking, should become
an-eXample for all future Good Roads
conventions to follow. When the adj
vocates and makers of good roads
shall travel hand in hand a marked
improvement of the road system of
the country will be speedily VISIBLE

The recent automobile race from
Paris to Berlin attracted international
attention because Of the keen interest
which is just now taken in the me-
chanical vehicle. While Europeans
were chiefly concerned in the perform
ance oe the distinctive types of ma
chimes, Americans could not avoid the
ought that such a race is virtually
4 possible in this country under con-
Nations promising any fair test of quail
ity. There are no such roads here as
those which in Europe permit inter-
city automobiling and wheeling. Our
highways, save for short distances
outside Of the larger cities, are dis
gracefully rough and unkept. Much
hasN been done in the past few years
to a aken the people to a sense Of this
condition, and the movement has been
greatly accelerated by the wide popu-
larity which the bicycle and the auto
mobile have gained. 1t is to be hoped
that the race of last week will so slim
ulate the pride Of the American steam
and electric machine owners that a
rem years hence 1t viii be possible
anize q thousand-mile race out
OF a zone of a score of scattered cities
under ideal road conditions.
1t is a noteworthy fact that until
very recently nothing has been done
n this country to collect and study
road statistics. The good roads divi-
sion Of the Department Of Agriculture,
which has been doing excellent work
. for several seasons, has lately under
taken to remedy this defect and is
now engaged in gathering data as to
the character and number of vehicles
which use certain roads. 1t Is hoped
that in this manner it may be possible
to demonstrate by figures the extent
to which the highways are used by
various classes. This win permit the
study Of an accurate basis of the wear
ing qualities of different road ma
terials under varying conditions. The
Institution of this inquiry leads to the
hope thht by thus Systematically ap-
Eroaching the subject the Govern
nenfs bureau may eventually arouse
ME interest of State legislatures to the
point &c the enactment Of uniform
ssighwaE laws. 1t is only by concerted
g3ction in this manner and by the adop
Hon Of even standards Of excellence

An English scientist some years ago
suggested that, in view Of the limited
supply of nitrogen, unless some meth
DDS Of procuring it from other source
than the earth were devised, there
was danger of the soil ceasing to be
productive. For this purpose he pro-
posed that experiments should be
made to discover some process Of
treating the nitrogen in the air so as
to make 1t available for use 1t is
now announced that this has been
done, and that the nitric acid thus pro
duced is absolutely pure and available

Remarkable Memory Shown by Canaries,

breed, subjected to the same infu-

throat muscles and vocal chords Of
each individual, But so remarkable
is the canary memory that a bird bred
