PLANT LIFE ELEMENTS.
Shows Its Eject in a Variety
of Ways.

Each element used by plant life helps
in the building of certain parts of the
plant, and likewise, doubtless, each has
What some Of these are, says late
Vermont station bulletin, is not we'll I'M
derstood, but some are known. Nitro
gen is known to show it's effects on plant
life in three ways. Itpromotes stem and
leaf growth, and, If in excess, delays
seed and fruit formation. 1t deepens

abundance may increase and its def

Of nitrogen In the plant. This means a
variation in food value. If nitrogen is
freely applied in fertilizers, or Is pres
ent in plentiful quantities in the soil, it's
effect is generally shown-unless its
effect be negatived by phosphoric acid
by a vigorous, dark-green leaf growth,
and by somewhat retarded flower and
seed formation. If available nitrogen is
relatively lacking, either in the soil or In
the added fertilizer, somewhat more
scanty foliage than occurs under bet
ter conditions of rather lighter
green-is grown. The seed, moreover, is
apt to mature rather earlier than usual
The farmer may, by careful observation,
Judge somewhat as to the crop needs in
this manner. 1t should be remembered
in this connection that nitrogen is essen
tial to plant growth, that available nito-
gen Is in small quantity and easily ex-
hausted from soils. and that consequent
ly it is and always has been the most
costly form of plant food.

us, is not seaworthy for more than
three men. If necessary, am ready
to make the trip to the mainland in
the yawl, but our best plan is to
remain together and finish our boat.
In the meantime, we should guard it
at night. I suggest that we detail
two men to night work on the boat.
They can work with lanterns and
guard our property at the same

CHAPTER XXI.-CoNT1NUED
There was no afternoon siesta that
day. In the bright sunlight, the We
randa was alive with flaming headlines
and rustling newspapers. For two
hours scarcely word was spoken.
Each man read in silence; intent on
those items of news in which he had
a personal interest. Again they lived
over the events of the Is days which
had passed-this time not on the
decks of a yacht, or in a tropical wild
erness, but in New York.
L. Sylvester Vincent broke the
spell. He had searched paper after
paper and finally came upon modest
item in The New York Record an
nouncing his disappearance.
81 don't seem to cut much ice in
this mystery" he said in an aggrieved
tone.
There was roar of laughter, in
which Vincent joined.
"Never mind, Vincent" said Mr..
Kent, you are the only one in the
party who will quit winner on this

deal. If you save those beastly idols,
you will be fairly rich, and your pic
ture will be in all the papers. You
will yet be famous. Did you see this,
Mr.. Rockville"
Mr.. Kent read the following from
The Record May 4th:
ut is matter of sincere regret that
Mr.. Walter B. Hestor, the famous special
correspondent Of The New York Record,
left this city on cruise through the
Mediterranean shortly before this out
rage occurred. All westbound steamers
have been requested to communicate the
facts to Mr.. Hestor, in order that his
services may be secured at the earliest
possible moment. No journalist living is
better qualified to unravel mystery Of
this character. and The Record hopes to
be able to announce the cooperation OF
Mr.. Hestor in a few days"
II should say he was we'll quail
fed" remarked Mr.. Kent. II must
give Hestor credit for rare talent in
the selection of steaks and wines.
The poor fellow is as crazy as a bug
on most matters, but his mind is
perfectly clear on Scotch whisky and
cigars. BY the way, Pence, did you
read those articles about your will?
One Of the papers say you leave $685.
100000 to endow an old ladies' home,
and another says your entire fortune
sity. The Philadelphia papers claim
that your money is left to INDECENT
actors and race horse people. Is
there any truth in it?"
Simon Pence looked up over his
steel-rimmed spectacles and he smiled
at his questioner in good-natured
way.
"You are too old man, Kent, to
believe everything you see in news
papers," Mr.. Pence said, and returned
to his reading.
II have suggestion to make" said
Sidney Hammond, later in the after
noon. eff Hestor remains around
these waters-as he is likely to do
there is no telling what he may at
tempt. 1t evidently is his intention
that we remain where we are for an
indefinite period. 1t is impossible to
forecast what vagary his fancy may
take. 1 doubt if he came near the
bungalow last night. If it is his idea
to keep us on the island and supply
us with luxuries, he will object to
the construction of such boat as
we now have under way. There is
nothing to prevent his quietly COM
ing in some night and towing THE

Keeping Butter in summer.

To keep butter in the summer sea-
son, pack it in well soaked tubs or
f1rkins, put little damp salt in the
bottom and place it in cool, dry cellar
on a bench of wood about IS inches
from the cellar bottom, and the same
from the wall. Stone or earthenware
does not keep butter well, as the mois-
ture from the surrounding atmosphere
in warm weather condenses on such
vessels and soon effects the butter.
Put no salt on or between the layers.
Fill to within half an inch of the ton.
and place clean wet cloth over the
butter, and pack the edges down with
knife. and then spread thinIy wet
salt over the top of cloth. The above
mode of packing and l;eeping butter
will be useful to many, and cause a
smile of delight to the buyer.-Ella

Escaped From Moving Train.

John Suber, colored, commonly known
as Rooster" who some time ago was
sentenced to the chain gang for thirty
days for vagrancy, made a bold and
successful dash for liberty while being
carried to the gang last week. Mike
Counts was in charge of Suber and two
other convicts. Counts with his three
prisoners boarded at Newberry the
Southern's passenger train going to-
wards Columbia. Just after the train
had passed the crossing below the oil
mill, and while it was running along at
pretty good speed, Suber who was on
the end of the seat, just as the conduc-
tor passed between him and Counts
made break for the door, and leaping
off the moving train, escaped. He was
followed by Counts, but just as Mr..
Counts reached the platform he slipped
and was thrown off the train.
The train was stopped and ran back
for Counts, who was picked up in an
unconscious condition. He was soon
revived, however, and with his two
other prisoners, went on to the location
of the gang. Suber is still at large.

done throughout the county.
The road covers q distance of seven
miles to Dead Fa.l. 1t had become in
such condition that in at least three
places it was impossible for even bug
gies, and there was hardly a short
stretch in the whole road that could be
covered with any convenience to the
traveller. Mr.. w. S. Spearman, in
charge of force Of ten hands, put
down two hundred yards of corduroy;
sanded two hundred yards of clay; fixed
fifty bad holes; and opened six hundred
yards of bitches. The work at q total
cost of $4,000, putting in good condition
seven miles of the worst road in the
