Makino Trees Eat.

In the Crimea scientists have beer
making queer experiments with frui,
trees. Instead Of trying to increase
their growth and yield by heaping fer
tilizers around their roots, they have
been cutting tiny holes into Their
trunks and inserting salts Of iron in
both solid and liquid form. An &C
count Of these curious experiments has
been read before the Imperial society
recently and it was declared by the
men who have been thus feeding the
trees that the method has proved itself
to be highly successful. Photographs
were shown of nine hundred trees tha!
had been thus treated, and the pic
lures appeared to prove the truth o:
the allegations, for all the trees were
beautiful with foliage and fourishins
excellcntly.

Dairy Farmers in Line.

Secretary Chas. y. Knight. Of the
National Dairy Union, recently ex-
pressed himself rs follows concerning
the Browniow t,il:
IN company with hundreds Of thou
sands Of other people throughout the
United States, 1 am very much inter-
ested in this bill. l have just returned
from a tour OF Italy. France ard Eng
land, where l had an opportunity 10
observe the character Of the roads in
those countries. Coming home and
looking over our miserable facilities
for getting around in the rural dis
tricts, 1 made up my mind that it will
be necessary for this country to do
as European countries have done in
order to get good roads, i. e., have
Government aid.
Tine National Dairy Union is or
ganized throughout the North in every
Congressional district which has any
amount of agricultural constituency.
and 1 am firmly Of the opinion that
the progressive farmers who are dairy
men will he in favor Of the bill for
national aid. 1 am so much interested
in its success that 1 am willing to use
my influence 20 have our dairy farmers
petition for the passage Of this bill.

drcd dollars out OF my own pocket

LANDMARK GONE.
Brooklyn Academy Of Music
Destroyed by Fire.
Built in 1860 and Valued at
100000.

New York, Nov. 30-The historic
Academy of Music, the largest theater
in Brooklyn, was destroyed today by
fire that is believed to have been caused
by an explosion. For a time the flames
threatened adjoining property and when
the roof fell in part of It struck a saloon
building adjoining but fortunately no
one was hurt although the saloon was
destroyed. The loss is estimated at
$500 600; no insurance.
The fire started in the scenery on the
stage of the theater, where a number
of men were preparing for the testi-
monial dinner of State Senator McCar-
rem to be given tonight. The fire de-
partment was tardy in arriving and 1t
was fully Is minutes before they had
stream on the building. 1t was then
discovered that the water could be car
ried scarcely half way up to the roof
Within half an hour after the discovery
of the fire the entire building was
roaring furnace and the firemen were
bending all their efforts to saving the
surrounding property
The academy, which was an anti
quated building constructed in 1860, of
brick, sandstone and wood, offered no
resistance to the flames. It was To-
Gated in the heart of the financial dis
trict. Opposite on Montague street is
the Brooklyn public library with over
10000 volumes. The wind was blow
ing in that direction and great fears
were expressed for its safety.
The Way Down East company oc-
cupied the theater all last week, but
their scenery and effects were taken out
Saturday night.
The building was owned by a stock
company.
Since its erection the Academy of
Music has been the Jscenezof many no
table and historic gatherings, one of the
first being the .greaa fair. held in 1868,
for the benefit of the United States sani-
tary commission. Many political gath
erings of note were held there and near
ly every prom; ;pent political leader of
the last half century has spoken from
its stage. David B. Hill delivered his
noted I am a Democrat utterance
there.
Henry NJ Stanley, after finding Dr.
Livingstone in Africa. delivered his first
lecture on the expedition in the academy
and Edwin Booth is said to have made
his last appearance there as Hamlet.
Wagner's "Parsifal'' was given its first
presentation IN this country in the
academy, and Theodore Thomas intro
duced many famous artists to American
audiences within its walls.
