SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

Newsboy's Day at the Worlds Fair
will be August is.
The University, at Cardiff, Wales,
will make an exhibit in the Depart
ment of Education at the Worlds
Fair.
Germany's pavilion at the Worlds
Fair is under roof. The building is
replica of the Castle at Charlotten-
burg and the plans were revised by
Emperor William.
The greatest authentic fight of
carrier-pigeon is given by Maurice
Dusolier as 1900 miles; the greatest
long distance speed, as So miles an
hour for 617 miles.
The hour of death has been recorded
by leading European physician for
2, $50 persons of all ages. Deaths are
most numerous between and 6o'clock
in the morning, and fewest between 8
and IL in the morning. The death
rate is not large between 10 a. m. and
p. M, the fatal hours being from 3
to a. m.
The crushing strength of rocks indi-
Gates that there must be limit to the

lower layer would be crushed in a
column of wet sandstone from two
thirds of a mile to five miles high, one
of granite from four to seven and a
half miles, and one of felsite from
seven to nine miles.
While strong plants destroy weaker
ones by crowding, or by depriving
them of air, light or food, it is rather
surprising to hear that one plant may
| poison another. In a recent case re-
ported in England, the plant called
Humea elegans, which exhales a
powerful odor of Russia leather, was
placed in greenhouse near a peach
| vine, when the nearest leaves of the
latter began to wither and fall off.
The influence was felt even at con-
siderable distance the result being
that at last the young leaves were all
stripped from the peach.
The scientific culture of potatoes is
nowhere practiced as in Germany. In
that country, states Consul-General
| Mason, dozens of skillful and expert
enced growers give their whole time
and energy to the propagation of i'm
proved varieties, and the conditions OF
soil, exposure or purpose for which
each is best suited are well under
S God. Certain varieties excel * ]
food, others for starch and stock feed
ing. Many of the best sorts are new,
but not more than twenty varieties
are included in the crop of practical
growers, although about one hundred
are listed by dealers, and as many as
five hundred were catalogued as long
ago as 1863.

USE PHANTOM LINE
Fourth Line Added TO Service Of Wis.
consin Telephone Company Be-
tween Here and Chicago.
NEW CIRCUIT IS NOT A REALITY

There is something of the unnatur-
al connected with the new 1ine.of the
Wisconsin, Telephone company be-
tween Chicago and Kenosha which is
a decided novelty to telephone uses
IN this section of thescountry. The
company's agents in .Kenosha this
morning announce that the company
has added fourth wire to the service
Of the company betweenlK and
Chicago. Notwithstanding this an
nouncement there has been no fourth
wire strung to lead betweensthe two
cities and yet it is a fact that four
people are talking nearly all the time
with their friends in Chicago. The
new wrinkle is considered one of the
most marvellous of the inventions in
telephone lines that has been tried.
The people talking between Keno
sha and Chicago are now using a
phantom" wire. The fourth wire
has an existence only in the mind of
the inventor who has clever1y devised
a scheme which will enable three di-
rect wires running between Kenosha
and Chicago to do the work of four.
The talking of the fourth person over
these three wires makes absolutely nc
difference with the conversation of
the other three and not sound of it
can be heard by any of the others.
The arrangement is a simple one and
by an arrangement of coils the con-
versation on the addedi circuit is
equally distributed over the three
wires so that there is not enough on
any one wire to make a difference
with conversations on that wire and
yet the union of vibrations of the
three wires gives the phantom wire
the best connection between. the two
cities. In the future people desiring
to secure the best possible connection
with Chicago will ask the operator to
place them on the phantom.
The new line in Kenosha is proving
SO successful that there is little doubt
but that the Wisconsin company will
make the phantom wire one of its reg
u1ar connections between all points
where more than two wires are now in
use. The same plan is now being
adopted by the Chicago Telephone
company and it is claimed that it is
being used with great success.

SENATOR GERMAN is the latest Dem
ocratic aspirant for the presidency to
criticise Roosevelt. The Maryland
senator deals in the stock phrases
and announces that the President is
unsafe" Coming from German,
who made the most conspicuous fail
ure as leader that his party ever
saw, this amounts to a compliment
for Roosevelt. It is noticeable that
all the Presidents critics deal in gen.
era1ities. None of them puts his
finger on single act in the Presi-
dents career and says herein Roose-
welt has failed or been too precipitous.
Furthermore every one of the Presi-
dents critics including German, has
one or two fool breaks to his own dis
credit.

DUCK SHOOTING ALLOWED.
Open Spring Season Begins April 10 and
Lasts Fifteen Days


Next Saturday the hunters who see
fit to take advantage of the amend
ment to the game law passed at the
last assembly will be privileged to
shoot a11swater fowl except ma11ards,
teal and wood duck. The open season
lasts until April Is and it is the first
time in cover five years that spring
shooting has been legal in Wisconsin.
There appears to have been a ques-
ton as1to whether it was legal to
shoot ducks on April 10, and Game
Warden Overlook has instructed His
deputies to make it known that the
open season is from the 10th to the
18th, inclusive In the opinion of
Charles 'Reinardy, deputy game war
den of this district, the ducks will
hardly be fit for table use this spring,
owing to the severity of the weather,
which has.forced the fowls to find new
feeding grounds, even in the south.
He says that the whistle wings and
blue bills, (which were killed for MIS-
cum purposes this spring were little
more than skin andlbones, and he is
certain that migratory ducks will be
found to be in the same condition.
