Harvey said Cromwell had confessed to
him that he had participated in the
murder. Popular opinion was strongly
against the accused and they were con-
victed. Notwithstanding the fact that
both Stain and Harvey had grievances
against the prisoners and It was
thought they might have taken this
way to have revenge. Friends OF the
convicted men kept on working in
their behalf and finally had secured un-

The second installment of an elabo-
rate report by Prof. w. F. Barrett on
the "so-called diyining rod" has Just
made Its appearance. Prof. Barrett is
a member of the Royal Society, occu-
pies the chair of experimental physics
In the Royal College OF Science for Ire
land at Dublin. and has taken an active
part in the work of the Society for
Physical Research. Three or four years
ago Prof. Barrett undertook a thor
ough investigation of the subject, col
jscting all the stories he could obtain
regarding the use Of forked twig for
: the discovery of water and minerals,
sitting them carefully, seeking such
corroboration as might be available,
and planning experiments of his own.
The first part of his report, which
came out in 1898. cited 152 cases. The
second furnishes many more. some of
them pays1g been conducted under
Prof. Ear-ett's own supervision. a
third installmest is r-omised and will
deal largely with the hunt for metals
with the divin!ng rod. In describing
the operation of ''dowsing." as this use
of the forked witch hazel twlg is To-
cally called in England. Prof. Barrett
says that the operator usually holds
the by the prongs. so that the stem
projects in front of him and incIines
upward slightly. When the dowser
passes n spot where water is supposed
to exist the twig rises to a vertical po-
sition, striking him on the breast. The
dowser himself often appears exhaust
ed by his effort, even complaining of
sickness or giddiness and breaking
into perspiration. These are SO marked
in Instances that he discards the twig
altogether. and is guided by his sensa-
tions alone During the operation the
dowser fixes his attention on the tip

The Prevailing Type Of Grip.

from the New York Herald
We are becoming accustomed to expect
the appearance Of grip at this season that
1t is no surprise to learn that 1t is here.
Fortunately, however its type is quite
mild and the acute attacks of the disease
are Of short duration.
1t commences as usual. with catarrhal
symptoms. aching of the limbs, marked las
situde. a slight rise OF temperature. SO far
the upper air passages are mainly affected.
The patient. as a rule, is not confined to his
room for mora than two or three days, but
when he gets up and around is apt to be
annoyed for week or more with a trouble
some and dry cough.
In exceptional eases the febrlle pheno-
mena have lasted for eight or ten days CON
tnuously. and have in some respects re-
sembled the symptoms of commencing ty-
phoid.
For the most part the convalescent pa
tents apt to be troubled for a consider
able period with weakness. general want OF
physical tone, and altogether are very much
out of sorts. 1t is then that complications
are apt to show themselves after indiScre
tons in diet exposure to inclemencies of
the weather. Now Is the time to be careful
of "a cold" The latter Is very apt during
the winter months to invite pneumonia, but
especially so while influenza is prevalent.
ParadoXical as it may appear. the light
attacks of grip are oftentimes more danger
GUS than the severe ones, as in the former
instances the patients are most apt to be
careless of themselves during the weak
physical conditions that follow

A CHINESE FARM IN NEW YORK.
Where Vegetables Are Planted, Tended
and Gathered by CeIestials.

Where Vegetables Are Planted. Tended
and Gathered by CeIestials.
There is one kind of farm in New
York that is not at all common. that
has never existed In any other city, so
far as I know, in ancient or modern
times. 1t Is situated, oddly enough,
IN about the centre Of the 317 square
miles Of New YOrk-so well as the CEN
tire Of a boat-shaped area can be To-
Gated.
Cross Thirty-fourth street ferry to
Long Island City, which really does
not smell so bad as certain Of our poets
would have us believe; take the car
marked "SteInway," and ride for
fifteen or twenty minutes out through
dreary city edge. past small, implanted
manufactures, squalid tenements, dir
ty back yards and sad vacant lots that
serve as the last resting place for de-
cayed trucks and overworked wagons.
Soon after passing a tumble-down
windmill, which looks like a historic old
relic, on hilltop, but which was built
in 1867 and tumbled down only last
year, the Steinway Silk Mills win be
reached (they can be distinguished
by the long low wings Of the building
covered with windows like hothouse).
Leave the car here and strike off to
the left, down n lane which win soon
be an alley, and then a hundred yards
or so from the highway will be seen
first Of the old, paper-covGred houses
of colony of Chinese farmers who
earn their living by filling the soil of
Greater New York.
At short distances are the other huts
crouching at the foot of big trees, with
queer gourds hanging out in front to
dry, and large unusual crooks lying
about, and large baskets and mattings
all clearly from China; they are as
different from what could be bought
on the neighboring avenue as the
farms and farmers themselves are DIFF
ferent from most Long Island farms
and farmers. Out in the fields, which
are TILED In the Oriental way, utiliz-
ing every inch Of ground clean up to
the fence, and laid out with even divi-
sions at regular intervals, like rice
fields, the farmers themselves may be
seen, working with Chinese imple-
ments, their pigtails tucked up under
their straw hats, while the Western
world wags on in its own way all
around them. This is less than FIVE
