The Stark County Horticultural So

at the home of F.. T. -Crowl, near Mey-

sled load of Canton people went out
to the pleasant country home. There
was a large attendance at the meet
ing.
No session was held until after the
dinner had been partaken Of. II was
rich repast, and it was hard for the
News-Democrat reporter to get those
who were there to talk of anything
else when information was sought.
A. r. Hanna, the president, called
the session to order at 1870. There
was nice program carried out, but the
matters which were of most vital in
terest to the horticulturists of this
county were brought ont in the query

THE BEST POTATOES.
Members ON the committees to re-
port on crop conditions gave it as
their opinion that the peaches and
early sweet cherries were killed as a
result of the cold weather. 1t is said
that there will not be any peaches in
Stark county the coming season.
A discussion was also raised as to
the best early potatoes to- grow in this
vicinity, and the conclusion was reach
ed there were none better than the
Early Ohio. Others might be more
prolific, but for earliness and quality
the Early Ohio was considered best.

heavy rains of the last few days have
been Injurious to the cotton crop,
causing it to rot and blight, and great

of the state report that nearly all the
crop will be gotten out at first pick

Slump in Stocks is Said to Be Manipu-

great war On the Goulds are credited
with having taken advantage OF the
money situation in Wall street to pun
sh the big pools that have been specu-
lating in the Gould securities and, In
cidentally, to limit their operations.
The stocks which suffered principally
in the big declines were the G0uld
stocks. although Pennsylvania was it
self hurt. Everywhere on Wall street
however, was heard the cry:
Pennsylvania is after the Goulds.
The war is on in earnest.
Whether this is true or not, it is
generally known that the Gould brok-
ers are very heavy sellers of their
stock. These brokers' are credited
with having sold 100 600 shares OF the
Gould securities. One broker, who
usually acts for the Goulds and Rookie
fellers. sold 10000 shares Of Missouri

Solves DimcuIt Profile ms.

Senior Torres, an ingenious engineer
OF Madrid, has invented a little ma
chine which is described as the most
curious of its kind that has ever been
fashioned. 1t is a mechanical device
for the solution of mathematical cues
lions. Those who have tested it say
that within thirty seconds 1t can solve
the most difficult equation that can be
framed.
The apparatus looks like an ordinary
mill for grinding coffee, its component
parts being a crank and a number of
copper wheels. When an equation is
TO be solved the crank is turned, and
in eight or ten revolutions the solution
Is arrived at.
Senior Torres has sent a model Of the
machine to the Academy OF Sciences at
Paris, and the French scientists who
have examined it say that it is one
of the wonders of the age.

Egyptian Fossils.

DIR. e. w. Andrews. who has been
engaged in explorations in the Fayum
district in association with the Egyp-
tian Geological Survey, appears, ac-
cording to his preliminary report on
the mammalia, published in the Lon
don Geographical Magazine, to have
made discoveries of the highest import
ance. One of the most interesting of
them relates to certain primitive pro-
boscidians-a group whose origin and
relationship have sorely puzzled natur-
alists. This group has. up to the pres
ent time, been known only by the Di-
notherium. mastodon and elephant.
But DR.. Andrews o makes us ac-
auainted with a small mastodon-like
animal (Palaeo-mastodon), from prob
ably lower oligocene strata. which diff
fers from the true m%astodons by hav
ing a simpler last lower molar, and by
having five pairs of cheek teeth In use
at the same time, and also with a still
more remarkable creature, from Eo-
Gene beds. called Moeritherium, which
has still simpler cheek teeth, of which
six pairs are simultaneously in use.
and nearly a full set of incisors and
CANNES. Moreover, II is a noticeable
fact hat of the incisors the second
pair in each Jaw is much larger than
the other, thus foreshadowing the up
per and lower tusks of certain masto-
dons of which the upper tusks OF the
elephants are the sole survivors. This
genus is apparently. judging by his de-
scription, a generalized ungulate, which
bears marks of being the ancestor of
the elephants. 1t seems probable that
DR.. Andrews has found the ancestral
type and the birthplace OF the probos-
cidea.

New Hot Water Bag.

Having noticed that the principal
defect in the ordinary hot water bag
is the necessity of replenishing the
water from time to time. a st. Louis
man has invented an arrangement to
be connected with ar ordinary lamp,
as shown in the illustration, whereby
two bags are attached to the ends of a
pipe, which fits at its center in a coil
over the flame OF a lamp.
As the latter can be raised or low
cred in the usual way the temperature
of the water can be regulated to suit
the requirements. The inventor has
applied his idea to the heating Of foot
