POTASH IN COMMON ROCKS.
Secretary wilson Tells of Discovery
 of a Great Supply.

Secretary Wilson Tells of Discovery
 of a Great Supply.
 "where do you suppose we would get our supply of potash If there should happen to be a war with Germany" asked Secretary Wilson of the depart ment of agriculture the other day, says q Washington special dispatch to the New York Times.
 "The only deposit of potash in the world that can be mined is at Stass- furt, Germany. Our supply comes from there. Our geologists have searched the country over high and low to find potash deposits free from other min erals. We go to Germany still for the immense supply of potash We need. The naval writers tell you that the next great war we have will be with Ger many. The moment that war with Ger many comes. if 1t is ever to come, we should be cut of from our supply of potash, and 1t would go soaring up to ten times its present price.
 ''Now the government has discover ed" continued tlse secretary. that we have In this country all the potash we can ever possibly need. and It is not 60 very far to seek. It lies about us on almost every hillside and in every rocky field. The discovery we owe to the work of the good roads bureau of our department.
 "Dr. Cushman. one of our brightest and ablest scientists. has given great deal of time and study to the problem and has found that in q large class of orthOclase rocks there Is as high as per cent of potash It has therefore suggested itself that we can mine pot ash very much as we do any other mineral If we work out e process suit cd to the conditions under which pot asi bearing rocks of the kind named are found.
 "Dr. Cushman has demonstrated that by stamping such rocks and employing an electroiytical process the potash can be got out of these rocks proftably. It is believed that sooner or later proc ess will be brought out that will make 1t possible to extract the potash from the common granite rocks of the or dlnary hillside and mountain farm of the eastern states. % that the farmer can enjoy the fertility that ls now locked up in them and with the use of nitrogen gathering IegumIn0us crop gradually enrich his land @ that only DOW and then at long comparative in- tervals VIII lt be necessary for him by the purchase of ph0sphstes to pro vide any fertilizer whatever from tie commercial fertilizer market

Death Was From Falls, They Say.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 29.-Counsel for the defense in the court martial of Midshipman Minor Meriwether for causing the death of Mldshipman James R. Branch, Jr., in fist fight produced Surgeon E. D. Gatewood to testify as to his conclusions from the autopsy held on the body of Midship- man Branch. His testimony was thought to. be in favor of the accused. The defense is now bending its efforts toward proving that the blows to the head received by Branch falling against the floor or wall during the fight were more probably the cause of his death than the direct blows of Mer- iwether's fist

INVULNERABLE CRUISERS.
Big Guns Used on New Gunboats to Test Their Fitness for
 Service.

An interesting test took place at the naval proving ground at Indian Head the other day in continuation of the series of experiments begun last March to determine the resisting power of the Tennessee class of arm ored cruisers under the attack of projectiles loaded with various kinds of explosives. The six and eight.inch guns were used in the test, the strik- ing velocity of the projectiles being those corresponding to ranges from 5000 to 5000 yards. The target was a structure built in exact imitation of the side of the Tennessee, with all decks, bulkheads, etc, complete. The results were on the whole extremely satisfactory as regards the design of the ship. The damage done by the bursting shells was localized within the compartment where the explosion took place, and while the damage to both personnel and material within the compartment would undoubtedly have been very great, the ship as a whole would have been intact at the close of the firing.
 As final test, a 12-inch shell was exploded within closed eompart- ment just above the armored deck. The local effect of that wasEconsider- able, but the armored deck was not penetrated.
 The test was witnessed by a num- Der of officers of the navy and the army, including the chiefs of the naval bureaus of ordnance and equip ment the acting chief of bureau of construction and repair and the act. ing chiefs of ordnance and artillery of the army.

FEVER BROUGHT POSTCARDS
Young Woman Frustrated by Ty- phoid Receives Them from All Over the World.

There, is certain young woman in New York who can thank typhoid Ieyer, for giving her a ,remarkably, fine collection of souvenir postal cards. Since her illness began, and she was taken to a hospital, her family and friends have entertained and cheered her up by mail, whenever visiting was not considered judicious. She is not strong enough to read letetrs, but she delights in looking at pictures, and her friends literally ransack the shops looking for novel and pretty picture postcards.
 The result is, states the New York Press, that she has a full set of New York views, including street scenes, the parks, the principal churches, monuments, the water front and near by beaches. All friends or acquaint- ances going away are requested 10 send her something, so her collection includes mountain scenery. lakes sea- shore views and places of interest in other towns. The seeker for these postcards will find all sorts of views as we'll, from the Scottish crags and lakes, to the Alps, from Margate and Brighton to Trouville. Paris. London, Japan, Rome and Naples. Then there are the Illustrated songs and the English jokes. the new Yiddish cards. and a great variety of beautiful cards with floral designs.
 Many of the best and most popular works of art are now reproduced on postal cards in all the original colors. In fact, there is hardly anything that cant be found on a postal card these days, and the sale is steadily increas- ing For the sick nothing could be more appropriate. for they interest at a glance, they please the eye without taxing the intellect, and they beguile many a moment for the invalid.
