cused of drinking "high bulls"
and he protests that he could nat
have done any such thing, as he
doesn't even know what Il "high

quilted, for no one ever heard of a

great for one of her advanced age,
although she possessed a remarka-

QUEER USES OF INDIGO.
Its Relation to Lyddits Shells, which
 Turn Things Yellow.

Harvey Sutherland in AinBlees.
 Naturally, the next thing to consid- CT should be indigo. because speaking of water and clean makes you think the blue bag. Also, 1t makes you think of the Boers by indirection. for those defenders of their institutions make one wet rag in the morning do duty for the faces and hands of pap and mother and the eleven children; and then, too. the British fired shells of lyddite at them. and the fumes of the explosion turned tham a gaudy yellow in complexion, Now, lyddite Is indig0 on which nitric acid has been poured. It is not only thing to be melted and loaded into shells and set off with a primer of guncotton, but 1t is a bril- liant yellow die. When the explosive Is made in England 1t Ia called lyddite: when 1t Is made in France 1t is called melinite. but 1t will answer to either nome if # ie touched off Tn the right way
 This may seem a queer use of in digo, but 1t is still queerer that all the bright colors that we call the anillne dyes, and which we know are derived from the coal tar products. are 90 nam ed from indigo's other name. anil, made in the laboratory. So maAy and so WOhucTIul dfc IHS uSSS tO WnlCn chemists have put the common. black. ill-smelling tar, that by-produet which the early manufacturers of illuminat- ing gas tried so piteously to get cart ed away, that one hardly darea to speak of them as queer, They are too great. They are amazing. They are even awe-inspiring for to see whither experimenta ton with the carbon com pounds has brought us is to realize that we are very near to the spot where the profoundest secrets of the living growing world lie hid. Some of the triumphs of the chemist in his domain come so near to mortal mans having a hand in creation itself that 1t almost scares When a human being can make from tar an indigo so good and so cheap that within he last four years 1t has risen to be the successful rival of the indigo that the good Lord causes to grow in plants, we may well pause and look back unon the long and tortu- ouS way we have come since first our ancestors began to make queer uses of common things"

REPAIRING THE ALABAMA.

Men from Cramps shipyard, Phila- delphia, have been at the Brooklyn navy yard during the last few days re- pairing some defects in the battleship Alabama which developed during her first cruise. which was with the North Atlantic Squadron that has recently returned to this port, The presence of the men caused some surprise among the mechanics at the yard. until they found that the Cramps who built the Alabama, are simply fulfilling their contract.
 During the cruise a slight leak de- veloped in a seam of the armor plate on the star board side amidships. Two of the outside plates had not been properly calked. Captain Willard H. Brownson. commanding the Alabama, said today that the leak was only a

 Editor The Advertiser:
 In response. to the repeated request
 for frank and authoritative statement of the plans for the proposed Roman Catholic Hospital, there has Deen' as yet. no adequate reply.
 Has not the community the right 70
 know just what is proposed, and 1ust what the people of Montgomery are asked to support? We have had. to
 date. nothing but an indirect report of certain assurances given by the local rector. of St. Peters, a man for whom
 have the most sincere regard. But has the Rector of St. Peters the legal right to make this assurance on
 behalf of the projected hospital? Is he to have any organic connection with
 the institution? And why should there | not be frank, full. and authoritative statement of the intention of the pro- motors of the enterprise. over the sig natures of the responsible parties and
 not in the vague form of indirect quo- | tation?
 If the objective goal of this move- ment is not. to secure Roman Cath l ollie institution at the cost of the tax payers of the city. why has % much
 stress been laid on the example of Mo- bile? Everybody knows that the City Hospital of Mobile Is under the control of the authorities of the Roman Cath | ollie Church. If that is not proposed
 as the ultimate goal of this effort in Montgomery, why has such emphasis in been laid on the value CD of that Illustration? So far as I can learn. the results in Mobile are in a marked de- gree unfortunate and regretable. Let us have all the facts, frankly and
 fully, and over the names of the re- sponsible authorities. The honorable and noble work of the Roman Catholic Church in behalf of the unfortunate and the desolate should be the joy of every Christian heart. and such a church should not hesitate to let us
 know not only what is expected today.

 Nearly normal tempartures prevail ed, with ample sunshine. but. while light, scattered showers occurred dur ing the early part of the week and q moderate. though very general and fa- yorahle, rain fell on the 18th, copious rains are still generally needed for all crops. Cotton Is in all stages from be- Ing replanted to being chopped out. and some is being cultivated, but this staple, as a whole, Is in generally poor condition, and some of 1t is dying; most of that which was not replanted has made poor stands. while that replanted is either coming up very poorly or has not germinated for lack of moisture, though the rain of the l2th was very beneficial. Corn is in generally infe- rior condition; the early planted has of 1t was replanted. and the second planting Is making poor stands. with considerable not yet up; must of the lowland corn has been planted. but very little has germtnated as yet: worms are injurinS corn in some localities. Wheat is heading fairly we'll. though . good rain would cause 1t to All much better. and there are . few complaints of its rvsting: oats are practically all headed. and some are maturing rapidly. on ac- count of the continued try weather; they will make fair yieia only. Con- siderable sorghum Is bting planted; sugar cane is doing fairly well: Irish potatoes are promising. but have been somewhat damaged by bugs in several localities; gardens were benefited by recent showers. but need more rain; melons are generally inferior. 50 far, the vines being small and growing slowly; strawberries are yielding well. Peaches are shedding more freely, and pears are blighting somewhat, but the prospect is still bright for fairly good fruit crop; grapes are well fruited.
