THE GAME WAS PROTRACTED
An Incident That Should Discourage
Small Boys from Enterp'ng
Empty Cars.

Empty Cars.
49, Little Chronicle.
A few days ago John Royle, 15-year-
old New York boy, was playing hide and
seek with party Of boys about the Cen
trail Hudson railroad tracks, and climbed
into an empty refrigerator car to hide.
He closed the door after him and awaited
developments. Presently he heard some
one coming along the line, but supposing
it was one Of the boys searching for him,
made no noise. Then the door clicked
shut.
He tried to get out, but found himself a
prisoner. He shouted and beat upon the
sides Of the car in vain. He finally tired
Of this and lay down to sleep. When he
awoke, the in motion and he re-
manned a prisoner throughout the night
and all through the next day. All efforts
to bring assistance by shouting were fu-
tile. The car was as dark as a pocket,
and he had no means Of knowing where he
was whittier he was going. He suf-
fered from hunger and thirst and most OF
all from the uncertainty of his fate. 81
About 10 o'clock the next night the door
Of Boyle's prison was accidentally opened
in Rome by tramp. ~~
Where are you going?" asked the man
at the door. - .r@ rs. "A
But the tear-stafned boy who jumped
out was unable to answer, for he had been
struggling with that question for many a
weary hour, and when he discovered that
there was a matter Of 250 miles between
him and home he was not encouraged over
the discovery. a .-.
Boyle was hungry and miserable, and
at a loss for a way to get out of his pre-
d1canent. He wandered around Rome
during that night and a woman who saw
him gave him some bread. He beat his
way to Utica the next afternoon, and
there awaited word from his parents in
New York, who autographed him money
with which to come home. 4

In terminating. Measure the height Of each
plant and record in the corn experiment.
Facts--The larger seeds will terminate more
readily and will grow stockier and faster. This
shows the need of the Of the tanning mill in
| selecting the seed grains.
Another experiment shows the bad re-
| suits that come from wrapping trees with
tar paper to save them from rabbits and
mice. With bottles filled with water and
| set in the sun, a thermometer, and tar
paper wrapped around one Of the bot
| ties, the pupil will demonstrate to him
self that the tar paper attracts heat, and
| hence will make trees liable to 'sun
| scald.'
Another experiment shows the pupil
how to test soils for acid and alkali, with
| litmus paper. 1t Is explained that an
acid soil is bad for crops. and should be
corrected with ashes or lime.
| BY another exercise, the boys and girls
| are shown how earth worms improve the
SOIL stirring it up and mixing the elements
| together.
Boys are taught that horses with heaves
should be fed little hay. Girls are shown
| how to detect chickory in coffee by
sprinkling the powdered coffee on top Of
| a glass Of water The chickory sinks
| quickly, and colors the water In the bot
tom of the glass in five minutes Pure
coffee will nearly all float.
| Prof. Williett M. Hays is editor in chief
of the book, and experiments are contrib
! uted by Professors Robertson, Green, Sny-
| der and wye and Miss Blair. It will give
an opportunity In a small way for begin
ming in the study of agriculture In rural
schools, and it is hoped will lead to great
| err things.
