FREEZING BACTERIA.
Fresh Experiments Prove That Lonu Continued Cold Win Destroy Even
 the LiveIfest of Them.

Within the last year or two some 1n@ teresting experiments have been cons ducted in England, with the purpose of ascertaining the effect of extreme cold on the vitality of various kinds of bacteria. The tests were made with liquid air and liquid Hydrogen. by] means of which temperatures we're ob~ tained. 300 to 400 degrees below zer6<' Tn the majority of instances the mia crobes withstood this amazing chill and on thawing out exhibited signs o1' life.
 Iii these experiments, however, the cold was applied for only a very short time, few minutes or few hours A different class of tests has just been reported to a. bacteriologicaI congresa by Dr. w. H. Park, of the New York health board. He employed only ty~' phoid bacilli, but in order to make Una investigation more thorough he took specimens which he had cultivated from 20 different cases of disease Thus any inequality in their hardiness was guarded against. The particular feature of this scheme was not the seq verity of the cold, but it's duration. Having prepared a lot of tubes con-| taining his culture, Dr. Park reduced them all to temperature of 23 de-| grees Fahrenheit, only little below freezing, and kept them there. Then at intervals he would remove tuba and examine the bacilli.
 At the end of 3h days he found 42. per cent.sof the microbes in the first t,,lo a1;vo Tr O uyroLr ., n 1,,,4 7 4 ,,1 .,.z cent. were dead in another. In two weeks only 71s per cent. survived, in three, O.4; in five, OH. and in seven, 0.9. The percentage diminished as time went on, until in 22 weeks, orr fully five months, all of the bacillf were dead. The tube opened after 18 weeks was the last to show any life. left. It thus appears that long wine ter will usually kill typhoid bacil1is even if it is not a severe one.

There it commences to grow, by put ting out innumerable delicate roots that look like small streams of pitch flowing down around the tree trunk. When they reach the ground they be- gin to harden and spread wider and wider, throwing out side branches, which run together and unite, until the whole tree is bound with a series of ir- regular living bands. The bark be- tween them bulges out and tries to overlap, but the clusia prevents this by making it's roots more numerous and wide.
 As the tree becomes more tightly bound it's leaves begin to fall, and finally it is strangled to death After a few years it rots to the ground, leav- ing only the clusia's column of tangled roots to mark the place where it stood Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

Japanese Do Not Swear.

Many good things can be said of Japan and the Japanese, but nothing reflects more credit upcn that people than the fact that profanity is vice entirely unknown among them. In answer to an inquiry on this subject, the Rams Horn gives this interesting information: "Yery high and com- potent authority asserts that it is true. A writer in the Evangelist as- serts that there is4in the Japanese language no word that is equivalent to an oath. Not only is there no na- tive word in which profanity may take refuge, but there is no imports ed word. During the last ten years, foreigners have added thousands of new words to the language; but not one profane word. Tn this respect, Japan is believed to stand alone among the nations"

stretching forth the body, getting a foothold, and crawling along with the sac dangling behind. This would seem awkward; and, indeed, the bag worm presents peculiar appearance crawling from limb to limb, and al- most pulled off by it's load of wood. Tn this way, though, it is not only sure of home, but the entrance is so constructed that the sides can be pulled together, thus affording pro- tection in time of attack. It seems strange, though, that when the bag worm is almost grown the sac hangs down from the body; when young, it is carried in straight line with it.
 These caterpilIars are naturally 8 source of much wonder to the na- tiyes of Cuba, who are superstitious regarding worm which filters it's house with so much wood, and this in a country where fire for the sake of warmth is notsa Necessity. The old Spanish legend has it that bag-worms are the inearna ton of kindling- wood thieves, who now, after death, must carry on their backs their load Of plunder, thus atoning for their thefts until they become moths.

HUNDREDS OF FARMS
Owned by William scully, Greatest
 of American Landlords.
His Largest Holdings Are in Central Illinois and in Bates County, Mo. -HOw He Makes His Land
 Pay We'll.

William Scully owns greater num- Der of farms than any man in the United States. Their aggregate area 100000. They are located in central Illinois, western Missouri and Kan sas. They represent the accunula- ton of 50 years of the life of their owner.
 He is the richest farmer in the rich est agricultural section in the world
 His wealth the New York World es- inmates at $25, 5,ooo,0oo.
 William Scully came to this coun- try shortly after the Mexican war for the purpose of investing his money. He chose to put it into farming lands.
 At that time he was William Scullys gentleman, of Ballecohey, Ireland. Now he is William Scully, American citizen, owner of the John A. Logan residencetin Washington, and multi millionaire.
 Ever since he came to America he has been either Lord or Viscount Scully, although he never gave any body reason to believe that he held title. He is not a lord. Neither is he viscount.
 In 1897 the Illinois legislature modified the alien landowner law. This law necessitated Mr.. Scully's re- moval to the United States and his naturalization prior to. 1903.
 When the Scully agents went to Bates county, Mo-, six years ago to purchase farm land there, people be- came alarmed lest Scully import an undesirable tenantry. This criticism of Mir. Scully has covered a period of more than 40 years. Not one word of

A Pair of Runaway kites.

Two kites which were the leading members of flight Of five sent up last summer from the royal aeronaut- ical observatory near Berlin broke away from their companions, and, dragging long wire which touched the ground and extended two miles behind them, fled before the wind all most 100 miles before they were brought down to the earth. The re- sistance of the wire trailing over the land suficed to keep the kites proper ly presented to the wind, and their lonely journey lasted through an en- tire night. When the kites started on their remarkable break for liberty they were at a height Of more than 2H miles.-Youth's Companion.

uence Tommy Atkin..

Let it not be forgotten, however, that the 'exquisite humor" displayed in the name Tommy Atkins belongs rather to the war office than to the public. That institution used to issue little pocket manuals, in which each soldiers name, age, date of enlistment. length of service, etc., were entered. and the method of filling in the form was explained by the use of hypo- thetical name, not John Doe of the legal profession, but-Thomas Atkins. The books were first so called, and then the soldiers.-Academy.

A poor widow in Koethen has beeu put in a quandary by generous donor. He ussd to be a coffin man. ufacturer, and when he broke up his business he made her present of a beautiful coffin. It was delivered, but the neighbors of the widow in the tenement house object to it's pres- ence. Now she will have to move, and she is short of funds. Nobody wants to buy the coffin, as the coffin manufacturer spoiled the market when he sold his goods at auction The donor refuses to take his gift back.-Wiener Tageblatt.

Indian Hospitality.

How to stop the Indians of the South Dakota reservations from eat ing each others food is an amusing but perplexing problem with which the Indian bureau is now dealing. It is an unwritten law of Indian hospi- tality that a guest may stay as long as he likes, and that as long as the guest remains the host must provide the food. It has become the custom among the Sioux, who have feast with their two-weeks' ration as soon as they receive it from the govern ment, to go to the more provident In- dians and live on them until all their food is gone.-Indianapolis News.

The Chicago Record says that in Spain everyone goes to market on foot. One day in every week there is big market in every town, and the event is grand and pictur- esque affair. The country people come in from long distances to sell their little stocks of goods. Tn the picture an old woman is shown as having walked in from her lit tie plat of ground many miles away. She is seen crossing the bridge at Ronda, driving her two turkeys, and perhaps she has few vegetables in the sacks on the horses.

 "Yes," answered the manager. "He is always in hurry to get through so that he can play golf. .''-Washington Star.

VEGETABLE PYTHON.
Plant Which Grows Downvard from Tropical Trees Instead of Up-
 ward from tIle Ground.

Such is the clusia of tropical forests, which, instead of growing up from the ground, grows down to it from the tops of other trees.
 Its seed is provided with pulp very pleasant to the taste of many birds, and it is carried from tree to tree by them and deposited on the branches.

At the edge of the town sits the customs officer, and on everything brought in there must be paid small duty. There is duty on eggs, bread, radishes, candy, etc. The officer even puts stick in the can of mill. and feels around at the bottom to see if there may not be an onion or some potatoes hidden there. Many poor persons cannot pay the duty, as they receive very little for the goods they bring to the market, so there is great deal of smuggling going on con, stantly.

defense ever came from him. Criti- cism seemed never to touch the rich Irishman. His policy was silence. Meanwhile the Scu1ly acres contin- ued to yield great crops. Nobody ever heard of a sale of Scully land except a farm purchased in Sanga- mon county, H., by former Gov. Richard J. Oglesby. Nobody ever heard of mortgage on a Scully farm.
 At Butler, in Bates county, Mo-, there are 125 Scully tenants; and they lease their lands for cash, paying from SIPS to $2 an acre, and make their own improvements.
 The Scully agents are particular about leases. The farmer who applies for one of them must be a practical farmer. His stock must look we'll fed. His machinery must show good care. He must have a good reputa- tion, be temperate and industrious and pay his debts. He must not quar- rel with his neighbors.
 Three years ago MT. Scully in- creased his holdings in Bates county, Mo-, to 43,0o0 acres, all purchased in cash at from $27 to $35 an acre. None of this land is eneumbered. William Scully has visited Bates county sev- eral times. He has inspected his farms and carried away samples of their soil in little paper sacks, lead- ing his tenants there to believe he must have at his home samples of every piece of the land he owns.
 A year ago the people of Bates county voted on a proposition to build new courthouse at Butler. MT. Scully''s agent wrote to him and in- quired to know what he would ad- wise his tenants to do. MT. Scully an- swered that they ought to vote for it.. The proposition carried.
 This richest of American farmers is a modest man of simple tastes. He dresses simply in dark clothes, with an oJd-fashioned black bow tie. He does not drink or use tobacco. He is a member of the Episcopal church. He is slightly bald.
 Mir, Scully spent several summers in Lincoln, H., on one occasion bring ing his family. One of his sons mar IIeu d LlHcOlH giTl. The Iam1ly llved very simply and became popular. Mr. Scully devoted his whole time to his lands and his books. He was never known to come to Lincoln or to de- part from there without having with him an armful of books, principally devoted to agriculture.
 MT. Scully permits no detail of his business to escape him. He even sees that a new generation of scientific farmers will be on hand to take his place and the places of the men who work with him. He puts young men at work on the farms and then sends them to college at his own expense.

NEW LIQUOR DEPUTIES.
They Began Their Year BY Making Sew.
eral Sc izures.

Sheriff Pearson's deputies lost no time
in getting to work. Yesterday morning
Messrs. PIummer and Skillings were
on deck early and having settled things
to their satisfaction In their office, start
ed out on their first raid after liquor and
liquor sellers. When they left the city
building they were seen by many people,
and some one in the crowd must have
notified the people on Centre street, be-
this street from Congress they heard a
shrin whistle and found that the watch
ers outside of the saloons had given the
warning. Nevertheless the deputies
dropped in at Jim welch's place at the
corner of Centre and Pleasant street and
captured bar keeper and sci zed lots
Of whiskey, rum and beer. They OBJ
tanned wagon and by half past eight
O'Clock had all of this contraband stored
away in the basement or the City build
ing. But WEIGH only closed his shop
temporarily and at noon they dropped
down ON hin. again and got some
whiskey and beer, but no bar tendder.
After that WEIGH closed up for the time
being at any rate. The deputies also
visited place across the street from
Welch's and also SulIivan's place near
the bridge on Commercial street, where
they made small sci zure. They also
dropped down on some places on Wash
ington street and got some liquor, but
did not make any arrests. In the after
noon they visitsd Barney Devine's place
on Commercial street, but obtained moth
ing.
The way In which the new liquor dep
titles have begin the new year comes up
to the anticipations OF the liquor sellers
and at present they are not endea voring
to do a thriving business. Some Of them
have ssoopsi selling iiqlor entire
ly and are waiting to see what Will hap
pen.
