LOWELL'S WITCH FARM "
Forest Near New York City That a+ Times Appears to Have
 Farm on It.

A curious story of James Rus seli Lowell has appeared. The .ale IS printed with question marks, says the Chicago Daily News. It runs about as follows and deals with a witch farm :" The place is forest near New l ork, at some distance, but with in a walk from the city. On the cage ot the forest a farm will at times appear, which no one re- members to have ever seen, unless ne happens to be among the few who have had the uncanny priv llege. There is no one about the farm, no sound is heard, yet there are signs of busy occupation. The door IS open, empty milk pails lean against the wall, newly cleaned pans and dairy utensils and butter churns are set out to dry; clothes hang on the line in a little drying ground.
 W hoover chances on the farm seldom stops long to look. He will pass on, thinking to himself: "l don't seem to remember that farm. l must inquire about it in town In town not a soul knows anything about it, and never will that person see the farm again, however often he may return to look for it. Then others will go out to seek the witch farm. Over and over again will they pass and repass the very spot where it had been seen, retracing their steps and puzzling and saying: It must be there; we have mistaken the way
 There are few indeed to whom the spectral farm has shown it ltself. Lowell himself once saw it. On the verge of the wood he passed homestead which ap- peared precisely as has been de. scribed. Lowell saw it all and passed on without thinking; then suddenly stopped short with a feeling of something strange, turned and sauntered slowly back. But no house at all was there and he was unable to find again the ex- act spot where it had been.

SHOWERS IN AFTERNOON.
According to This Account They Are More Frequent Than in the
 Morning.

"Did you ever stop to think about the fact that we have more showers in the afternoon than we have in the morning, and the causes which bring about this re sult?" asked a man who takes an interest in meteorological ques- tions, says the New Orleans Times Democrat.
 "The chief factor is the upward movement of the air which is brought about by the heat. You see in clear weather the heat is not at its height until midday. The changes which set in as a re- salt of the air movement in the afternoon, and the gradual with drawal of the suns force as the orb rolls down toward the west ern horizon will bring about just those conditions favorable to the production of showers, and the next result is the showers we so often experience in the afternoon.
 'There seems to be in this, as in all of natures plans, a fine wis dom. It would be impossible to measure the advantage of these showers to plant life. Often plants need resuscitation after the severe heat of the day. They are in a wilted condition and need the sprinkling we give the plants in the flower garden. Nature does the sprinkling by sending a good, refreshing shower. The afternoon shower is a great institution, too, from the standpoint of human be jnos and other animals, for an imals, you know, frequently begin to droop under the depressing in flnenee of severe heat. And, as rule. the shower is needed more in the afternoon than at any other period of time"

FACTS CONCERNING CANCER
Some Important Discoveries Recently Made by British Medical
 Experts.

Important discoveries in con- nection with cancer were an nounced recently when the prince of Wales presided at the annual meeting of the general committee of the cancer research fund. Dis. tinguished experts briefly summed up their work as follows:
 "Ciyilization is not the cause of cancer, which. pervades animal as well as human life and attacks all its subjects at relatively the same age and periods.
 Ut is not an infectious disease and is not transmissible from one species to another. A cancer cell can reacquire powers of selfprop- agation.
 "Cancer is not caused by a para site.
 "The malady is not on the in. crease.
 "Radium has been found to ex. ercise no curative effects.
 "A serum has been discovered from which good results are hoped"
 The first authentic cases of can. cer in animals were minutely de scribed by experiments which had been made on fish and wild mice.
 The prince of Wales urged the public to consult the surgeons at the first indication of any cancer ous symptoms, though the report of the experts said that no sign has yet been discovered by which medical men can surely recognize 1he presence of' f'cancer.

HUNTING FOR TALISMANs.
Unique Experience of an American l Professor on an Expedition | to an Indian Temple.

| When the late Prof. Sommer- Fllle, of the University of Pennsyl- Eapla, the learned collector of gems, charms and mascots, had set his mind on some curio heard pr ln one of his meetings with Ori- fntals, nothing could bar the way, says the Booklovers' Magazine. were It in the center of the Desert oi Sahara or on the topmost pin nacle of the Himalayan noun Kalns, he would go after it and keep up the search until the treas Nre was found, purchased and placed on exhibition at the uniyer- slty museum.
 American gold was Prof. Som mefville's magnet, wherever he went. He thus describes it's eff feet on one of his expeditions:
 "On one occasion we desired to visit the famous Dilwarra temples an India, and for that purpose en- gagged two jinrikishas and a num- Der of natives to draw them, about 12 in all. The temples, as you know, are set in a mag nlficent grove of mango trees on a mountain top and surrounded by great hills. With a fair measure O. tact and money l hoped to se- cure from the people of the yicin- 1ty some of their odd talismans and rings. l said to the chief rikisha man: Now. Lala, what will you do for me if double your pay? ] want 10 make this jour ney in half time, and if you can ac- complish it you shall be doubly paid
 He went to his helpers at once and informed them that 1 was q prince We started out under the contract He ran ahead of the convoy, raising both hands in the air and crying to the astonished people: Here comes prince. Down with you. Here comes a prince
 And during the entire 12 miles l was treated to the un-Ameri. can experience of seeing the peo- pie cover their faces and drop ab- jectly to the ground in obeisance and salutation. only daring to look at me through their parted fin gers. But my amusement at thus being treated as a prince was nothing to the qualification I ex- perienced in securing from these people-who did not dare to re- fuse so august parsonage as T. some of the most interesting in- ecribed talismans that I have in my collection"

THE TRIP TO MARKET.
What Ii Costa to Haal Farm Pr0duct'
Over bad Roads.

what 1t Cosss to Haul Farm Products
over bad Roads.
The need of good roads was brought
out wildly by Congressman ZenOr Of
Indiana recently when he gave the
house some interesting facts and fig
ures.
The cost of transportation Of farm
products from farm to market place or
shipping point over wagon roads IL 25
cents per ton per mile.
At this rate the total annual cost Of
hauling of farm products Is $1,000. OO0.-
0OO.
5 Railroad transportation. according to
recent statistics. Ia one-h,lf cent per
ton per mile.
The aggregate receipts Of all the rail
roads last year was $7OO.OOO.OOO.
1t thus appears that the farmers OF
the country paid more by $500 100000
for hauling their products over bad
roads by team than all interests paid
for rail transportation:
Mr.. Zenor estimates good roads will
reduce the cost Of transporting farm
products from farm to market from 10
TO 1911 cents per ton per mile. This
would make m aggregate saving OF
just $JOO.OOOOOO per annum.
In the light Of such facts the good
roads question 10 not q question at all
1t Is q plain duty required by rational
public spirit.

TROUBLES At
THE TRAMWAY
Alleged That Farmers Grain Co
are Short Two Hundred
Tons of Oats
Especial to Evening Teller.)

NEZPERCE, April 15.-The members
which formerly operated the tramway
near this place are much purturbed
over the fact that an alleged shortage
of grain in the warehouse has come to
light. 1t is alleged that outside buyers
have presented warehouse receipts to
the company for the delivery of some
five or six thousand sacks Of oats and
on investigation it is alleged that the
grain is not In the house. 1t Is said
that officers Of the original company
admit that the oats were sold and 1t is
believed that the one in authority
thought that he would have been able
to have purchased the grain before the
season closed. AS the situation stands
there are no oats in the country and in
view of the fact that oats have ad-
vanced four or five dollars per ton since
the original lot were sold, and there are
no oats in the country, there is some
question as to what will be the out
come.
It has been said that committee
has been appointed from among the Or
iginal stockholders of the company who
are now investigating the books with
view of determining whether there is
any other shortage. No criminal care
lessness is alleged against anyone but
the burden of the shortage in money
will have to fall on the stockholders.
c. E. Wood. the present lessee OF the
tramway, disclaims any knowledge OF
the transaction and claims to have kept
the grain he has received. separately
from that which was turned over by
the old company. The alleged short
age vii amount to about $1,000.
