, pamphlet that tells farmers all over the
 world just how they can handle their farms to make them yield more and better crops.
 All over the country are other men employed by the government who go
 out every day with butterfly nets" to
 catch butterflies and grasshoppers and countless other insects. Some go out at
 night with lanterns and honey pots and sit down in the shelter of shrubbery. waiting till the great blundering night
 moths shall be attracted by the keen scent of the honey which they love. Often the moths drink honey until they are drunk, when they can be picked up by the bare hand without even needing a net.
 That is not bad play either. Yet that kind of play has saved the people of the United States millions of dollars. for the insect hunters find out so much about
 the insects that destroy vegetation and fruit and shade trees that We know now just when to look out for their arrival and just how to destroy them before they become big enough to eat growing things.
 Last year men in the Agricultural de- partment in Washington played at a most absorbing game that surely would have pleased every boy and girl in the i land They planted seeds of many
 kinds in tiny pots, one seed in each pot, | and then day after day they photo graphed the pots
 Thus they made many hundreds of | pictures that, when they were all put l together, showed just how the plants
 grew. And these pictures were put into one of those great kinetoscope machines 1 that throw large moving pictures on
 screens, so now everybody can see q
 plant grow from a seed to a mighty shrub.
 l Only, instead of having to watch it 1 for months and years, we can all see it
 within few minutes, for the machine
 thrown the pictures on the screen as
 fast as one may wish.
 | This already has taught farmers and
 florists many things about plants that
 never had been suspected before. all
 though so many sharp-eyed persons
 have watched plants grow for so many
 centuries.
 1 A few years ago the United States
 government imported the beautiful and
 valuable date palm, hoping to make il
 grow in the sandy and dry parts of Ar
 izona and New Mexico and other spots
 of the United States where the domes-
 tic plants do not thrive. The date
 palms did fairly we'll, but not well enough to please the Department of

 Washington. July 2s.-Acting Secre- tary Hill to-day received the following cablegram from United States Minister Powell, dated at Port Au Prince:
 General Colin left Port Au Prince yesterday morning with 1000 men to re- pei Firmin's army which was landed from the Haytien naval vessel com manded by Admiral Killick. After a skirrnish which ensued the forces of Firmin retreated to the warship. Colin returned to the city yesterday after noon. The information is that twenty were killed and sixty wounded.

COLLISION ON ELEVATED ROAD.
Six Cars Derai!ed and Two Wrecked

Six Cars Derai!ed and Two Wrecked on a Brooklyn Line
 New York, July 2S.-A head-on collis- ion occurred to-day between two trains of the Brooklyn Elevated road on Ad- ans street, which resulted in the derail- ing of six cars, the wrecking of two and the injury of a number of persons, at least two of them fatally. The collision took place at point where the tracks diverge and is thought
 to have been caused by misplaced
 switch.
 A train bound to New York from Bath Beach was turning the curve at
 the junction, when it was met by a
 train from the ~age station, and the crash occurred. following is list of the injured:
 Godfrey Moore. Henry Moore, James H. Spellman, August Groh, James Nuc- ci, John w. Abraham. Mrs. Celia Levy, | George H. Cook, William Higuitt, con- ductor of the Bath Beach train; John Higgins, Annie Loeber. all of New
 York; Mrs. Frederick Frost Miss So-
 phia Frost, James Wood and Mrs. r. Van Wagener, all of Green Village, New Jersey.
 Godfrey and Henry Moore were pin
 toned beneath the wreckage and prob ably fatally hurt. It was nearly an hour before they were released. Of the
 others injured none was fatally hurt. most of their wounds being confined to bruises.
 The accident caused an immense crowd to assemble in the street be-
 meath the elevated structure and they cheered the firenen who had been called out to assist in the rescue. Lad ] ders were thrown up to the structure, and the men had to chop and saw the
 wreckage from around the Moore | brothers
 Charles Shattuck, the r11otorman of the Bath Beach train, was arrested.
 John Sullivan, the motorman of the
 other train, disappeared.

 The practical side of the work comes home strongly in the fact that the farm products are mostly sold to the New York markets. One small strawberry patch this spring yielded two hundred dollars.
 This year, the third since their plant ing. the young peach trees may yield marketable fruit This Is truly remark able. when one considers that the land when acquired was quite robbed of its vitality, and had to be toned up. These peach trees bore fruit less than fifteen months after they were set aut.
 An extremely valuable feature of the course is the insistence on familiarity with current prices of industrial and market-products i'll the great commer- ciaI centers. Along the same lines Of practice rather than theory is the plan ming of a scherule of excursions to the great businesses ill New York. Over forty such trips to the large down. town markets, food shows, fairs and other exhibitions were made in the past year.
 At the first commencement of the school, July 10, seven men and one wo- man were graduated, About fifty stu dents have been in attendance during these first two years. Students must remain as long as that to complete the regular course and obtain a diploma for proficiency; special students fulfill ing the requirements receive certificates. The tuition fee is onehundred dollars year, and board may be had in the dor mitory for two hundred and eighty dol lars additional. The year is divided into three terms, with twelve weeks va cation during the summer.
 It is expected that the school, which has now passed the experimental stage, will move to Poughkeepsie within the coming year-New York Evening Post

UNCLE SAM'S PLAYTHINGS,
SOME OF THEM TOYS THAT ANY

All of Them, Though, are Used by Learned Men-Gnmo That Teaches Facts to Scionoe-Paper Birds and Butterfly Catching-PIayG Gardens.

One thing that very few persons know is that United States government officials play what would be to boys en- tertaining games every day as part of their serious work of nations.
 There is one man-an old and grave and wise and famous professor-who may be seen often in his office in Washington standing on chairs and desks, launching little paper birds and funny contrivances through the air and watching them soar and settle with just the same interest and delight with which boys and girls would watch them.
 If folks who did not know who he is were to behold him they might we'll be excused for imagining that the old gen tleman was growing childish. But probably there are few persons in the country to-day who know better what they are about than he does For he is one of the foremost scientists of the Smithsonian Institution, and some day 1t is expected that he will teach the NOllu uOW tO bullu d AyluS nldCulIlc that really will fly.
 Often, after he has played good and hard with the little paper toys he dis appears. Then the other scientist $ know that he is down in a lonely part of the Potomac river. experimenting with big flying machines that have been built according to ideas gained by him from his toys
 And while this professor is flying his things the chances are that not far away other wise men are playing with little toy gardens. There are patches just big enough for children to weed and hoe.
 These patches are watered with small graduated watering p0ts and with scales. litte pinches of fertilizer and other plant foods are measured out for each. Big men sit over them and watch them and peer into them, and fondle the little leaves, one by one, just as children would do.
 But every few weeks one of the play CTS sits down athis desk and writes and soon after the government issues a
