Constable Hardesty and Marshal Kennedy went out and arrested four Indians, three of whom swore that Supai Kid, one of the four, had killed two deer. The case was tried before Judge Ranney, who fined the Kid $25, MT. Nellis receiving half the amount as informant. The law seems to state that any person kill ing deer shall be fined not to ex- ceed the sum of $1OO and costs. Indians are included as subject to the law.

Egyptian cotton is being introduced

1t is much more desirable than the

much longer fiber than other cottons,
and its seed can be removed so easily
that it is not necessary to cut up the
cotton in ginning it.

Prof. A. E. verrill, Of Yale, regards
the phenomena witnessed during the
awful eruption of Mont Pelee in Nav
as bearing out the theory that inn
mense quantities of explosive gases
were evolved through the dissocia tior
of oxygen and hydrogen from the
water on coming suddenly into con-
tact with hot lava, and that these
gases, when elected into the atmos-
phere, exploded above the crater. pro-
ducing the terrible effects that were
noted. According to this view. the in
habitants of st. Pierre were killed bv
sudden explosion of a vast volume
OF mingled oxygen and hydrogen.
while the poisonous hydrcchioric acid
gas, formed by the chlorine liberated
from the sea-water that had leaked
into the volcano and was combined
with some of the hydrogen, quickly
sufocated those who may have e.
capped death from the explosion

Loss OF BRITISH FLORISTS.
They Grew Roses by the ThousanA
for the Coronation and No One
Wanted Them.

How great will be the loss of thou-
sands who had expected to reap for
tunes during the coronation ceremo-
MES in London it has been impossible
to estimate. Here is one item alone IA
which the losses are practically irre-
parable, says the New York Sun.
In anticipation of an enormous de-
mand for roses-the coronation flower
1.-The florists of England and the
continent laid out large tracts of land
with rose bushes, planning so that the
flowers would be ready in these last
days Of June.
1t was estimated that the kings
subjects would wear and use for dec
orations at least 60, 0O0. 900 of red roses
alone and would be willing to pay from
two to fourlcents apiece for them.
This was a moderate estimate. Az
coronation week approached it was
feared that the supply would not equal
the demand.
The English retail florists poured in
orders for thousands of blooms upon
the gardeners. The fortunes in pros
pect seemed to be very close at hand.
for the prices of roses went steadily
up in anticipation of scarcity.
Now 1T is all at an end. Instead of
great profits there will be great losses.
No one wants red roses now.
Tho florists who ordered and have
literally tons of flowers coming from
the continent which they will be UNI
able to use, will bear the loss in part.
But most of it will fall upon the grow
ers In whose Offices the notices of cam

GUARD THE WILD FLOWERS.
A Valuable Lesson which the West
Msy Learn from the Experience
Of the East.

Considering that the American peo
pie spend over $4,000, 900 a wear or
roses, violets and other dollhouse prod
ucts raised by 5000 florists Of this
country, irrespective of the probably
larger sums that are paid to seedsmen
ana plant growers for public and pri.
vate gardens, it is evident that an in.
terest is felt in flowers. Whether it Is
interest or the lack of it that leads
vandals to destroy them whenever
they find them is open to argument. A
fondness for these pretty hectares
that leads to the shipping of blossoms
from the plant is comprehensive
enough, but in their eagerness or in
difference many tear the whole plant
out OF the earth, says the Brooklyn
Eagle.
The result of this has been to almost
exterminate certain of the wild flow
ers that used to make the upper end
of Manhattan gay and that were not
unknown on the edge af Brooklyn.
The Dutchman's breeches, that served
as reminders of the original settlers
hereabout, are now conspicuously alb
sent; wild roses no longer perfume the
air; the indestructible daisy is pass
ing under legal ban, along with the
thistle; the buttercup has beenplowed
out and hacked and broken; even the
dandelion has to lie low. Where flow
ers and fragrance made the spring day
glad there now are barrenness and
ragweed.
These facts have prompted the
Misses Phelps-Stokes to give So 200 to
the New York botanical garden for in
vestigation and the preservation of ma
tive plants. The interest on this fund

While this is very well and will do its
part in educating the public to more

advantages. and may restrain our bar

tearing and destroying what they care

others from enjoying at all. it would

Sarah, however, persisted in her
idea, and engaged two men from the
nearest town to drill the well. After
working several days, they reported
that they could not find water. They
presented their bill, which Sarah
paid, and then they drove of across
the prairie.
