BALLOONISTS' LUCKY ESCAPE
CAPT URE OF RUNA WAT BALLOON
 FROM SAN FRANCISCO.
Caught but n Short Distance From tho
 Ocenn-Wns at Ono Time Setting Out
 Toward the Sea but Was BiGwn Back ATerrib'e Experience for fhe Invoiun-

San Francisco. Nov. 3.--The nine oc- cupants of the captive balloon which escaped from this city yesterday after noon, returned safel, to this city to- day, having been rescued after being in | the air two hours. The balloon was landed near Pescadero fifty miles from San Francisco and but short distance from the ocean. The balloon was at one time setting out to sea but was blown back to land, and the occupants saved. Those who made the involun- tary trip were:
 Edward P. Dudley, aeronaut; A. L. Dodge Edward Foster, Jr, Walter Leon, c. F. Vildecoq J. r. Leonard, M. L. Howarth, John A. M. Swift and Mrs. J. P. Gunsaulus
 | When the balloon broke It's bonds 1t sailed away in southerly direction. South of Redwood City 1t struck an- other air current which took 1t toward the ocean over the summit of the coast | range. Nineteen miles from La Honda and about six miles from Pescadero, | lies Beatty Thompson's place. Thomp- son was up and out when the balloon came along by Wurrs Mill and the graphing hook slipped through the trees and raked along brushy patches of ground. By this time much of the gas had been let out of the balloon and the power was weak. When 1t got within Thompsons reach he grasped 1t and bore down with all his weight. This stopped it. Soon the balloon stopped and the eight passengers and the aeronaut alighted.
 A. l.. Dodge one of the passengers, describing the trip said the balloon first starte toward Oakland after coircling about for a time drifted southward and became stationary for a short period. Then catching a breeze from the east it sailed over the San Mateo hills and stood far out over the ocean and the occupants of the wicker cage faced the prospect of a plunge into the sea- Twice, according to Dodge's story, the balloon dipped close to the surface of the water but rose again each time to a considerable altitude. Finally breeze from the sea caught the balloon and carried it back over the land and after dragging the cage through the tops of a grove of trees landed 1t on a hillside six miles from Pescadero.
 Tt was a terrible experience" said Dodge, land I would not undergo the same adventure again for any consid- eration. Everybody was more or less shaky while the woman passenger and two or three os the men were so sick that they sat in the bottom of the bas- ket throughout the trip"

SUPPLIES STILL RrAcH REBELS
All Ports Of samar Closed but Supply
 Boats Get In.

Manila, Nov. 3-Advices from Catba- logan, Samar, say it is well known that, in spite of the fact that all of the ports of Samar are closed, supplies still reach the insurgents. Most of this work is done during dark nights by small boats from the Island of Leyte. Every avail able gunboat is now endeavoring to prevent this.
 The capture of Lukan's commissary has proved a great blow to the insurrec- tion, as it renders future supplies very precarious.
 Conditions in the Island of Leyte are very annoying to General Smith. A large number of junks are used with the express object of aiding the insur- gents in Samar, covering the move ments of fugitives and landing provis- ions and clothing.

ATTEMPT TO WRECK TRAIN
ANOTHER ONE MADE ON THT
 NAUGATUCK ROAD.
A Large Stone Placed on the Track in Almost tho Same Spot ns the One n Few Days Ago--EDglnoer Discovers 1t in Time to Slow Up-No Clue to the Guilty Party.

Torrington, Conn.,, Nov. 3,-It was learned from an authoritative source | to-day that another attempt was made to wreck a train on the Naugatuck di- vision of the New York, New Haven
 and Hartford Railroad company on
 Saturday night.
 The train which leaves Winsted for Bridgeport at 0:40 was the one upon which the wouldbe wreckers had de- signs. A large stone was found on the tracks in almost the identical spot where one was placed about a week ago. This stone, however, was much smaller than the first one, and the en- gineer saw it in time to slow down his train. The locomotive struck the ob- stacle and moved it to one side and passed on its way unharmed
 Upon arriving at Litchfield Conduc- tor McDermott, who also had charge of the train last week which had a mar row ecape, notified the station agent, and the outgoing engineers were warm ed to be on the lookout for Instructions at this particular spot, which seems to be rendezvous of some unknown party of men who are making strenu- ous attempts to derail Naugatuck di- vision trains.
 It has been the impression here that this particular spot was being watched by railroad detectives, but the train wreckers seem to have eluded them. There is absolutely no clue as to the identity of the parties who are mak ing such persistent attempts to wreck trains, and the railroad men on this di- vision are considerably worked up over the affair.

For Fall Pasture.

Rape has been grown successfully
for fall pasture in this state, but
the experience with this plant for fall
use is somewhat limited, and 1t is not
considered so sure crop as Katir corn
and sorghum. 1t is cool weather
plant, and requires a reasonable
amount of moisture; but the spring
sown rape has stood the drouth and heat
of the summer quite we'll on the Col
lege Farm this year. Rape may be
sown in the corn where the stand is
not good or where the growth has been
seriously retarded by the drouth, SOW
ing at the rate of about two pounds per
acre, and covering lightly. If sufficient
rain comes to start it well, it will make
large amount of excellent pasture
for sheep, hogs and cattle, and will
continue green until the ground
freezes. Its greatest growth will oc-
cur after the corn is cut. Rape will do
better, however, if sown alone, in
which case three pounds of seed per
acre should be used Dwarf Essex is
the variety to use. The seed will cost
from to 10 cents per pound or from
IL to 20 cents per acre so that the
farmer will not be at much expense
enough to make a crop.
Turnips.-On land especially suited
to this purpose, turnips would be worth
sowing for the farmer who expects to
winter any considerable number OF
sheep. While In ordinary seasons this
crop is not considered especially prof
liable except in a small way, yet in
view OF the great scarcity of feed, 1t
will be well worth growing t4is year.
A large area of rye and wheat should
be sown as early as possible for fall,
winter and early spring pasture.
OF course it is understood that if the
drouth continues through July and Au-
gust, all Of the crops recommended for
hay will fail, but in view of the great
scarcity of feed, it will be we'll worth
the investment and risk to SOW every
available acre in something that will
produce feed if it rains 1t is hardly
necessary to add that all the straw
should be carefully saved for feed, that
all the corn fodder should be preserved,
and arrangements made to protect the
stock against the winter storms, to
make the feed go as far as possible.
The experience of 1881, the time of
the last disastrous drouth, in which
the continued rain of the winter did
so much damage to the small amount
of feed on hand, should not be forgot
ten, and every reasonable precaution
should be taken to prevent its repeti-
ton this winter.-H. j. Waters, Direc-
tor Missouri Experiment Station.

Fighting the chinch Bug.

The Ohio Experiment Station is re-
ceiving letters indicating an extensive
outbreak of chinch bugs in certain
parts of the state. and in response it
is sending out small packages of fun
gus culture in the hope that it may be
of service in injecting the bugs with a
parasitic fungus which, under favor
able conditions, has been found to be
very destructive to these pests.
This fungus, however, requires moist
weather and masses of insects for sue
cessful operation, and it is feared that
it may not act with sufficient prompt
ness during the prevailing dry weather.
The following remedy is therefore
offered as probably better adapted to
existing conditions, this remedy having
been suggested in 1895 by Prof. S. A.
Forbes, State Entomologist of Illinois:
Dissolve one-half pound hard or
soft soap in one gallon of water, and
heat to the boiling point. Remove from
stove and add two gallons of coal oil,
churning the mixture with good force
pump for fifteen minutes. When the

buttermilk.
ITO each quart Of this emulsion add
fifteen quarts of water, and apply to
the corn in a spray-preferably before
10 a. m. or after p. m. The bugs
should be washed off so that they will
float in the emulsion at the base of the
plant. A teacupful to hill is gener-
ally sufficient, but the quantity must
vary with the number of bugs infest-
ing the corn"
The progress of these bugs through
field may be DISTRACTED by making a
shallow, V-shaped trench with the cor
ner of hoe and filling it with coal
tar, the tar to be renewed In two or
three days. They may also be des-
troyed by blowing them under and har-
rowing and rolling. These two meth
DDS were successfully employed by the
Ohio Station in 1SS8.--Chas. E. Thorne

CLOTHES AND CHARACTER.
None of Us Free from the Influence OF
Garments.


Garments.
The philosophy of clothes grows out
of their relationship to our personality
and temperament. Not many of us are
Independent enough to declare our
selves free from the influence of the
garments which clothe and adorn us;
not more so than of the other environ
ments which prove such potent factors
in the formation of our life and char
acter. Personality and temperament
are revealed by clothes; but what
seems more important in the whole
cutter garments affect our individual
ity, so that we are changed and trans
formed by what we wear. What
clothes have done for civilization in
the formation of character, morals,
manners and conventional ideas of liv-
ing is a subject too broad for super
fetal consideration. The susceptibility
Of some to the influence of clothes is
so keen that all individuality would
be lost without the power to express
themselves in this way. A woman
may make clothes the artistic express
sion of her personality, which in no
other way could assert itself. 1t has
become to her a daily need, and the
loss of it would take from her life
handspring of action that would leave
her stranded. There is a difference
between the attempt to express In ar
tistic form in dress an inward person
Atty and the extravagant waste of
money for clothes which have no d.
rect bearing upon ones mind or ideas
Of the harmony of things. Lavish ex-
penditure of money on dress for the
mere sake of copying another, or for
The selfish and foolish purpose of be-
ing dressed as extensively as the rich
est, is not only reprehensible, but is
deficient in originality and art ex-
pression.-A. S. Atkinson, M. d., in
Ledger Monthly.

sTEyENsoN's MEMORY.

Mrs. Isobel Strong tells several anec-
dotes which show the warm affection
in which the memory of Robert Louis

The New nureau of Forestry.


On the first of July the Division of
Forestry and three other scientific di-
visions of the U. S. Department OF
Agriculture were advanced to bu-
reaus. This was provided for by the
last session of congress, which appro-
priated for the expenses of the Blu
reau of Forestry during its first year
1885, 40. The appropriation for the
Division of Forestry during the year
just ended was $685., 500. For the year
1S9S-99 it was S2S,520.
These figures show how rapidly the
forest work of the government has ex-
banded of late, and also how we'll it
has commended itself to congress.
There was a time when the practical
value of the scientific Investigations
carried on by the government was not
fully understood, and farmers were in
clined to think that the money spent
on experiment stations and chemical
laboratories was of little benefit to
them. Now the case is very different.
The improvements in agriculture due
to the work of the department have in
creased the value of the farm products
of the country by many millions of
dollars annually. AS this kind of work
has proved it's practical utility, con-
gress has shown itself generous toward
1t. The readiness with which congress
has increased the appropriations for
the Division of Forestry is the best
evidence that forestry has proved its
Importance from business standpoint.
The change from a Division to a
Bureau, and the larger appropriation,
will make possible both an improved
office organization and more extended
field work. The Bureau will be pro-
vided with a much larger Office force
and will be organized in three Divi-
sions. But field work, not Office work,
is what the Bureau exists for. This
work has been going on during the last
year from Maine to- California and
from Georgia to Washington. 1t in
cludes the study of forest conditions
and forest problems all over the coun-
try, the giving of advice to owners of
forest lands, and the supervising of
conservative numbering operations
which illustrate forest management on
business principles. This work can
now be greatly extended. Private own
ers of some three million acres have
applied for this advice, which in every
case requires personal examination,
and about $4,000 acres have been put
under management. This land is in
many tracts, large and small, and is
owned by individuals. clubs and cor
porations. Several state governments
have also asked the aid of the Blu
reau. But the greatest demand is that
of the Department of the Interior of
National government, which has asked
for working plans for all the forest re-
serves, with the enormous total area
of about AZ million acres.
