The Banks Condition.

President Bigelow's dedication amounts to about $1,45O,000. but he re- stored $3OO,000. The directors have subscribed S1.635.O0O more. thus leav- ing the bank better off by about $40O,- 900 than it was before the funds were depleted by the speculations of the President.
 BigeIow himself Is left a poor man by his speculations and the surrender of the securities to th" bank today. At one time he was pS = ally rated as a millionaire and his fortune has been lost as well as the sum taken from the bank. His total losses in specula- tion of various kinds in two years are estimated by his friends at upwards of $3,000,00G. He has a magnificent home on Astor Street and his family is one of the most prominent socially in the city. Bigelow is q member of the State Bankers Association, the Amer lean Bankers Association, the Milwau- kee Club. the Country Club, the Whist Club and other similar organizations He has been known as one of the most generous donors in the cause of char ity and has been d favorite with all classes.

 BIgeIOw's Statement.
 I have no excuses to make. I do not care to speak of motives which 1 had and had no right to have. The big men among the directors of the bank have come forward in way that should give absolute confidence to the community and they are deserving of the highest praise There are no bet ter men in any commounity, and no stronger men financially. The bank will be better and stronger than ever. My family has been kept in ignorance

THE OUTLOOK GOOD.
Education Of the Times Is Towards
the Farm-More Scientific
Farmers.

Reports from all the leading agricNl.
tural colleges show an increase in at.
tendance and q larger proportion of agri.
cultural students than ever before. Tha
statement is often made that agricul.
ture Is, at present, enjoying a boom AMI
the growth in numbers of college.
trained farmers Is pointed to as proof
of the statement. 1t is true hat at no
time has agriculture presented SO broad
a range of possibilities as it does to-day.
1t may be true that a few men are at.
tracted to the work merely because OF
Its increasing popularity. A vastly
larger number are learning to realize
the Importance and possibilities of the
profession in the development and
growth of the country. Too long has
agriculture been looked upon as an occu-
patton Of the hands and not the head.
AS such 1t had no attractions for tho
progressive student whose ambition
was to win q standing in the higher
branches of learning. For this reason
the farmers sons have been turning
their attention to other professions,
such as law, medicine, literature, etc.
Every year the universities of the COun-
try have been graduating large numbers
OF these professional men, many of
whom witness the departure of their
boyish dreams while waiting for their
first client or patient. In the meantime
the technical institutions have been de-
veloping the less attractive sciences.
The agricultural colleges have made
rapid progress and the result Is a gen.
eral awakening of interest in the prod
ucts of the farm. The business scope OF
the farm has broadened. The develop
ment of agricultural science has given
the farmer a commercial standing. The
Improvement OF plants and fruits; new
discoveries in the betterment of the soil
all have opened up a new field for the
Investigator and excited the curiosity
OF those who formerly regarded farming
as mere drudgery. The tendency is now
toward technical education. The D
tunities are abundant for the we'll.
equipped man, and with more scientific
farmers In the field the profession will
become established as the most i'm
portant contributor to the nations pros.

ENGLISH GIRLS NEW W
Fair Young Britons Are Achieving
Wonders in the Polit-
ical Field,

English women are taking q more
active interest in politics every day.
The success Of the political woman
was q foregone conclusion from the
first, but one of the recent develop
ments Is the keen interest and active
part taken by girls-sometimes still in
their teens.
Many society women who are re-
garded as leaders If the woman's
cause have carefully supervised the po-
litical education of their daughters.
Before her marriage. Lady Marjorie
Sinclair frequently accompanied her
mother. the countess of Aberdeen, on
the platform at meetings of liberal
women. and Lady Helen Stavordale
helped the marchioness of London
derry to discharge her duties in con-
nection with the Primrose league. An
other young society woman who prom
ises to become a star in the political
arena Is the countess of Crewe.
Probably the most interesting band
OF young women politicians are the
daughters of the earl and countess OF
Carlisle. Lady Dorothy Howard, a
pretty, fair haired. fresh complex
toned girl, and a Girton graduate, has
been accustomed to public speaking
since she was 16.
The old order OF women's Fighters
was contented to work and wait, but
the younger school believes in hustling,

PRODUCED A%RTlFlcIALLY,
Process by Which English Chemist
Makes Diamonds of Small
Size.

Diamonds are not born but made
with unprecedented success by DR..
Burton. of Cambridge. England, who
has proved that the inestimable gem
Is a Genser form of carbon than graph
lite, and that q lesser pressure than hith-
erto has been supposed sufiices for
producing artificial diamonds. He
uses a molten alloy of lead and some
metallic calcium, which can also hold
a small quantity of carbon in solution.
If the calcium is separated from the
molten mass some of the carbon crys-
tallizes. The separation Of calcium
can be accomplished through steam.
If the introduction of steam is made
during full red heat small graphite
crystals are formed in the resulting
crust OF lime; If the steam is intro
duced during low red heat no graphite
Is formed, but a number of micro
scopical crystals are formed. the prop
critics of which are entirely identical
with those of natural diamonds. These
diamonds possess 4 high retroactive
power, and therefore strengthen the
belief that some day the chemist may
produce gems of sufficient size and per-
lection to compete with the natural
stone.

Identification for Warships.

The German admiralty has resolved
upon furnishing ships of war with
means for recognizing each others
Identity at distances too great for read

be effected by the use of rings or bands

number and color. The colors used
Will be black, white, red and yellow.
According to several liberal German
journals, the ships Of the opposing
s%quadrons frequently mistook a friend

vers, owing to the absence OF n
