A $4,000 ROSE GARDEN.
A Railroad Pays Damages for Prizes
That Might Have Been Won.

The New York, New Haven & Hart
ford railroad has recently paid $4,000
for the destruction of two rose gar
dens, says Country Life in America
In May, 1901, the railroad company
set fire to three worthless old build
ings which it owned at Woods Hole,
Mass. The neighboring rose gardens
of Miss Hay and of Michael Walsh
were ruined, apparently by poisonous
gases thrown off from the tar and
gravel roofing material. An analysis
of these cases showed the presence Of
crbolic acid, pyracine and sulphur, all
of which are harmful to plants. The
matter was referred to an auditor,
who awarded more than $4,000 to Miss
Fay and more than $4,000 to Mr..
Walsh. Before the cases were taken
to court the railroad company paid
$4,000 in settlement.
Miss Fay had a collection of 1000
plants, of which two-thirds were de-
stroyed. The damage was estimated
by six experts all the way from $4,000
to $1,000, the average being more than
$500. Mr.. Walsh is professional
florist and a specialist in roses. He
has originated many new varieties,
including the Jubilee, and had re-
ceived the first gold medal awarded
to a rose in this country. His collec-
ton comprised of $50 unnamed seed

Submarine Animals That Lii ghtthe Sea

Almost without exception the
creatures which live in the sea, es-
pecially those that are at home mile
or so beneath the passing steamer,
send out waves of light that linger and
float through the dark abyss of the
ocean, Sometimes very faint, some
times strong but always beautiful.
The sea zen is found alive only on
the bottom Of tho sea, where in the
everlasting darkness it glows with the
most gorgeous color, purple or blue or
red.
The sea fans are nets of these
branching. coral-like skeletons. each
branch surrounded by the little ami.
mails. The sea fans glow as brightly
as the sea pens, as If for the purpose
OF lighting the submarine highroads
over which innumerable fish pass to
and fro. The coral themselves also
have the power of light.
Among the sp1 andid plant animals OF
the deep crawl glowing worms of a
dull white color or a brilliant red:
crabs whose eyes shine like two
sparks. and many other lightgiving
animals.
And over their waving tentacles
float hundreds of animals closely re
sembling pretty glass vases, but no
vase of glass ever glowed as they do.
What are they? They are "cteno
phores." which means comb vases. II
But no vase can compare with these
that are never empty. always in mo
ton and of all eolors of the rainbow

ford, Connecticut, last August and
September, when the comparatively
large cotton duck mills of that place
were ordered closed. Nearly one thou
sand persons of the 1890 in the place
were compelled to leave the town.
Nearly a hundred houses were board
ed up and rents were offered free to
the mill hands who remained, for
some men who had worked thirty, for
ty or even fifty years in the plant
were too old to get work elsewhere.
With the population cut almost in
half, the merchants of the place
thought they saw ruin before them.
The pay-rolls of the mills had been
more than s175,OO0 a year, and when
the spending of this money stopped it
seemed as if the community must die
The income of the churches was cut
down, large part of the foreign con-
gregation of the Catholic church dis
appearing as if swept out by a cyclone.
There were fewer children for the
schools. The value of real estate de-
clined, and those who had put their
savings into homes found themselves
unable to get rid of them. There were
too many merchants, too many physi-
clans, too many barbers-and, one and
all, they sat down to see who would
go away or go to the wall first. Gloomy
forebodings as to the increase of the
poor fund of the town arose; the bells
of the mills ceased to ring; the town
band, that gave public concert every
week, ceased to play; a waterpower
estimated as worth from 100000 to
100000 lay idle; the machinery of
the mills was being shipped to the
trusts mills in Alabama; only the
four walls of three large buildings re-

SOME ENGINEERING PROBLEMS.
Huge One Presented to Get 4-Foot
Channel in the Mississippi.

The Brooklyn Bridge, as an engi-
neering feat, caused stir at the time
of its conception. On the Mississippi,
unheard and unseen, engineering
schemes the size of the big bridge
are Matched every month in the year.
But that is not saying they are all sue
cessful.
Between ST. Paul and the mouth OF
the Missouri the task is to provide
channel depth of at least four feet
during the open season-which is a
harder problem than it seems at first
glance.
In the vastness Of the upper Missis-
sippi lies weakness. The water that
stands limpid in the lovely bays and
back channels of which / have told,
is water sorely needed in the main
channel. Moreover, even the main
channels bottom is far from uniform;
the rock of which the wonderful bluffs
are made mischievously outcrops in
the channels bed, and at each of its
graceful bends the current is inces-
sanity striving to build bars and reefs
that will top the draught-line and so
block navigation. Neither should the
passing of the old-time Northwestern
SHOWS, and the consequent high-waters
which followed the spring thaws, be
left out of account. Nor the fact that
because of the removal of timber the
rains of today waste down the river in
sudden freShets whose benefits are of
slight duration. In the upper Miss
issippi the army engineers have dam
med the useless back-channels; they
have built in the main river innumer-
able wing-dams, stone bikes, running
out from shore at various angles.
which are purposed to confne the cur
rent to the steamboat channel, and so
clear and deepen it; and, wherever
that channel forsakes the rocky bluff
bases to wind through lowlands, they
have reinforced the earthen banks
with broken stone-a process called
riprapping-to prevent caving and en-
suing changes. Furthermore, they
have spent years in dredging sand
bars and in uprooting snags and
boulders: easily the steamboats, dead
Hest foes.
Acting in cooperation, the navy de-
partment-lighthouse division-has
mounted hundreds of beacon lanterns
to mark both head and foot of every
shift, or crossing" of the steamboat
channel.-Willis Gibson in Scribner's.

Excellent Recipes.
Steamed Brown Bread.

Sift together twice, to make sure of
thorough mixing, cupful of rye flour,
one of white cornmeal, one of graham
flour, one ttaspoonful of salt and one
heaping tel spoonful of soda; add a
cupful of molasses and two cupfuls of
sour milk. Mix thoroughly and pour
into round mould with a close top.
It should be two-thirds full Butter
the cover. fit it on, and steam three
hours, keeping the water about half
way up the mould.
Dip the mould into cold water, hold
ing it there one minute, to make the
bread shrink from the sides. Have
ready folded napkin laid upon hot
plate. Reverse the mould upon this
and turn out the bread carefully.
Send to table warm and cut in hori-
zontal slices.
Celery Greens.
In preparing a bunch of celery to be
eaten raw, do not, as the manner of
some is, throw the outer and tougher
stalks and all the leaves into the gar
bage pail. The curative properties
of this popular esculert are too little
known. Brain workers and those
whose daily life tells severely upon
the nerves should eat freely of celery.
1t also acts benefcally upon the blood.
Wash the ''refuse" stalks clean and
scrape off the brown and yellowish
streaks. Cut into half-inch pieces, re-
serving all the best leaves for cooking
Put the cut stems on to cook in boil
ing water and let them stew one hour.
Then add the leaves and continue the
cooking twenty minutes longer. Drain
and press out the water. Salt to taste.
Add a little sugar, tablespoonful of
butter, rolled in flour and few spoon
fuls of cream. Return to the fire and
stir one minute, or until very hot.
Serve in deep dish.
A Good Winter Salad.
Boil large smooth beets until
thoroughly cooked and scrape off the
skin. With a small spoon scoop out
the insides of the beets. Let them
get perfectly cold. Chop up half of
the beet centres and mix with them as
much minced ham or tongue and chop
ped parsley. Season with salt and
pepper and put the mixture back in
the beets. Set the beets on lettuce
leaves and pour a mayonnais dressing
over all.
To Keep Plants Free From Insects.
Dissolve a bar of laundry soap,
shaved fine, in a quart of lukewarm
water. Set over the fire and bring to
a gentle boil. Keep this up for ten
minutes. Take to the table, away
from the stove, and add two quarts of
kerosene to the mixture, gradually
beating all the while with Dover or
other egg beaten. 1t should be as
thick as mayonnaise dressing when
done
Keep in cool place. In using,
dilute one cupful with two gallons OF
water. 1t will be almost milk white.
Spray the plants infested by aphidae,
red spiders or other greenhouse pests
with this.
The recipe was given to me by eel

the loss from the first source at $500
to $500 and from the second $1,000.
