liability OF jelly made from such grapes 10
contain copper. Some grapes which had
been condemned improperly sprayed
were selected. These contained about one
twentieth OF a grain OF copper e the
pound. The fruit and stems were cooked
together and jelly obtained. One hundred
grams Of this contained OILS milligrams Of
copper; that is less than one-quarter of
the amount in the original material. 1t
appears, therefore. that much of ii remains
in the vegetable substance. The Jelly was
eaten by two or the station STAFF without
apparent harm.
1t seems, therefore reasonable to assume
that no serious harm will result from the

Thus, the copper sulphate used for coloring

FAMOUS VANDALIA CASE
ORAL ARGUMENT Is HEARD BY THE
SUPREME COURT.
The Money Involved Amounts TO

-Other Court Cases.

The Supreme Court was occupied yester-
day morning in hearing oral argument in
the case Of the State OF Indiana against the
Vandalia Railroad Company. The argu-
ment was not concluded and will be re-
sumed Tomorrow morning. John G. VIII
liams opened the argument for the COM
pany and Robert S. Taylor for the State.
The question involved is whether the
Vandalia company owes the State $4,000
under its special charter granted in 1871.
The charter provided that the company
should pay the State its surplus earnings
over the operating expenses and 10 per
cent. 10 the stockholders. The company
surrendered its special charter in 1873 and
has since operated under the general rail-
road law.
The State sued the company TO recover
the money alleged to be due and the special
master, Noble G. Butler, found there was
nothing due the State. The State appealed
TO the Superior Court and Judge Garter
found there was due the state S9l3Oo0 The
appeal 10 the Supreme Court is taken from

Worth knowing About Eggs.

Philadelphia Record.
AN egg in the process Of Matching is re-
markably sensitive to vibration says Ed
ward Gudehus, an expert in the breeding
of fowls. Half the failures that amateurs
encounter in Matching out chicks by the
incubator method are due to lack of pre-
caution in providing against the effect Of
vibration on the eggs. The rumble Of a
train or the passage of a wagon along the
street will destroy a whole incubator full
OF eggs If the faintest vibratory wave
reaches the apparatus.
Even such a little thing as the banging
of door in some other part of the house
will destroy the chances OF Matching out a
brood where care has not been taken 10
place the incubator beyond the reach of
SUCH disturbances. A thunderstorm al
ways gives breeders a scare. as thousands
of eggs may be spoiled by a sudden heavy
thunder clap To sneeze or cough in the
work a disastrous result"

Country Life in America.
The fruit growing and gardening, purely
domestic matters a hundred years ago.
have now come TO be great business enter
pTises. commanding millions OF dollars OF
capital. Already North America is the
greatest fruit-growing country in the
world. pIacticing the most scientific and
progressive methods. The fiower-grovvino
interest is itself an important source of ma
tional wealth. Where once we grew toma-
toes in an amateurish way as a garden
product we now grow them in blocks of
hundreds OF acres. So great have become
the horticultural interests in this country
that departments OF horticulture have been
established even in many small as well as

SILENT ABOUT MISS STONE.
State Departments New Policy Re-
EardinG the Brigandagc Case.

The State Department declines to fur
nish any further information regarding
the case of Miss Ellen NJ. Stone. the
American missionary who is held captive
by Bulgarian brigands.
This policy of silence was requested by
Mr.. Dickinson, the United States Consul
General at Constantinople. and the diplo-
matte agent at Sofia, Bulgaria, who has
complained that the brigands are receiy-
ing information as to what has been pub
lished about the case in American news
papers, and have obtained the idea that
continued agitation in regard to the re-
lease OF Miss Stone will bring more con-
tributions to the ransom fund raised by
sympathetic people here.
Mr.. Dickinson complained. also, that the
substance of his confidential reports to
the Department had become public in
Washington, and are telegraph to Euro
pean newspapers. The State Department
has been exceedingly chary of furnishing
any news about the Stone case now. and,
in view of Mr.. Dickinson'S complaints, has
noted with surprise the news dispatches
from Sofia and Constantinople giving in
formation received by Mn. Dickinson.
