Seed Wheat.

According to Dean. w. NJ. Liggets
and Prot. c. r. Bull Of the state ex-
pertinent station, the question OF .
seed wheat famine in Minnesota de-
ponds entirely on securing a proper
distribution of the supply of good seed.
A bulletin has just been issued from
the state experiment station in
which it is said that there is enough
good seed to SOW the $500, 600 acres OF
wheat land, provided the supply 10
properly distributed, and also provided
farmers use proper precautions in Sc
iectiur seed grain from their rustcd
wheat.
There is plenty of seed in some local
tiles and none in others. The author
tiles at the experiment station are
making efforts to relieve the situation.
and farmers who have good seed arc
asked to advertise the fact, the sugges-
tlon being made that they can proba'
bly, get more than the market price,
and at the same time assist in protect
ing the states chief product.
There is an idea prevalent among
farmers that rust, like smut, is carried
from one crop to another by the use OF
infected seed. This, the authorities
assert is not true. Methods have been
found for the prevention of smut, but
as yet no definite methods have been
found for the prevention of rust.
Wheat rust is propagated by spors
and from field to Geld. Precaution is
the only way the farmer has combat
ing rust The authorities claim that
all stubblc and rubbish which would
tend to lharbor the spors of this DIS
ease should be burned, and crop rota-
ton practiced. After these precau'
lions have been observed and some
rust-resistant variety of wheat is plan
ted the farmer will be reasonably sure.

HOW HE LOST BATTLE
GnIPENBERG's VERSION OF IA
NOUS DEFEAT.
Russian Commander Lays Blame for
Loss Of Conflict on Kuropatkin-
Says Latter Ordered Retreat
at Moment Of Victory,

ct. Petersburg.-The arrival in St.
Petersburg of Gen. Gripenberg, for
mer commander OF the Second Man.
churian army, and his dismissal to the
front by the car, has caused a sensa-
ton in military circles. The general
frankly avows that he relinquished his
command after the recent attempt of
the Russians to flank Field Marshal
Oyama, because Gen. Kuropatkin re-
fused to send him help when victory
was in Gen. Gripcnbergs hands, and
instead ordered him to withdraw.
Gripenberg personally reported on the
situation to Emperor Nicholas, and
after long consideration the czar
sided with Kuropatkin and ordered the
former to the front
Kuropatkin's side of the story is that
he intended only to make a demon
stration in force, and that Gripenberg
pressed the attack too far and became
too much involved.
II am glad to give an account of
the battle of my army, the kilograms
I have seen being far from the truth, :"
said Gripenberg, in an Interview.
"Kuropatkin, of course, authorized the
advance, but he imposed tn; condition
that it should not go be,ond Hell
koutai and Sandepas. My plan was
to capture Heikoutai and thence out
flank Sandepas. From the First army
corps before Heikoutai I detached a
brigade which occupied Heikoutai.
The Japanese cut in from the south,
and the brigade came under cross
fire, but held out until I got up an
other brigade to cover it's retreat. The
Japanese were now concentrating on
their left. During, the evening I and
my army were ordered under no cir
cumstances to fall back from our po-
sitions. The next morning my whole
front was engaged, the troops being
disposed as follows: On the extreme
right, the First corps. Then the

IN A VISION.
CAPT. BYRON PLANS MACHINE
FROM DREAM.
Mind Picture Of Flying Device Came
to Army o@cer During Span
ish Campaign and He Has
It Patented.

Washington.-It is promised that the
citizens of Washington shall soon wit
ness an unusual spectacle in the clouds
over the White Lot. The novel per-
Torrance will be by massive flying
machine, which, like some great white
bird, will circle about the dizzy-heighted
Washington monument. This is the
expectation of the inventor of the
airship, Capt. George West Byron,
a Washington man prominent in COM
mercial and Spanish War Veteran
circles.
Capt Byron has entered his claim at
the patent office, so that his rights can
not be infringed, and the work OF con-
structing one of the aerial vessels will
begin, it is expected, in the coming
spring or early summer. The inventor
says he can discount Santos Dumont,
who sailed about over gay Paris In his
airship, and to demonstrate this he pro-
poses to navigate in air about the WASH
ingtOn monument in his machine, and
perform midair evolutions which will
put the Dumont airship in the shade.
One of Capt. Byron's claims is that
he can fly in his ship from Wash
ington to Chicago without once
alighting on terra firma for either food
or fuel.
On the official files Of the patent Office
the Byron machine is described as IAN
invention which has for its object the
production of an airship that will form
a minimum resistance to the wind cur
rents, whereby the control of the same
is rendered possible"
A further object is to locate the cabin
or other place for the accommodation of
passengers or freight SO as to afford the
least possible resistance to the buoy
ancy of the airship. A further object
is to so position the cabin as to protect
the same from the wind and other air
currents, whereby the drag of the air
currents upon depending cages Is OBJ
waited. A still further object is to pro-
vide means for assisting the airship in
it's initial movement incident to eleva.
ton and flight.
Speaking of his airship, Capt. Byron
said that the very first thought he had
of inventing an airship came to him
while he was asleep.

CAPT. BYRONS AIRSH1P. ssh, .
lNsw Flying Machine Seen BY Inventor
in Dreamy

At last I said to myself: II I was

ship and it should fall into the gulf |
would be drowned Then l began
to figure how one could be made
80 that if it fell into the water
it would be safe, and could be propelled
to the shore.
FINALLY" continued Capt. Byron, Il
thought of making it in the shape of a
boat, with cabin in the center. l
thought of it again during that day,
and made a crude drawing of the ship
at my Office. Then it was that the
wedge-shape gas bag came to me, and
the six different compartments. Most
of my best thoughts came to me between
five and seven O'Clock in the morning,
while yet in bed. thought Of canopy
for my cabin, which finally developed
into an immense gas bag over the entire
airship.
II now intend to employ nine sep
arate gas bags to make the aerial ship
for long-distance traffic. Two of the
bags are to be square, and will be located
In each end of the cabin, and can be de-
tached in 80 seconds and used to make
a jump to the earth, as If they were
parachutes, or for sending parcels or
freight to the ground. On the first or
trial ship we will employ only six gas
bags, leaving out the two just men
toned, and the great canopy bag, which
will be those that surround the cabin
The cabin is to be six feet wide and %
feet long and seven feet high. The gas
bags will be seven feet high next to the
cabin and taper off to one inch at the
outer edges, thus reducing the resist
ance to a minimum. The ship will be
40 feet wide, rs feet long, and, leaving
out the ballast frame-which extends
below the ship some eight feet, and is
the same size of the cabin, and held up
by eight tubes, which are so far apart
that they will not offer any resistance
at all-the resistance will be the 60
pound bags of sand on the bottom, and
the bottom is made of open wire work,
to let the sand sift through when turned
over by cords running up to the cabin.
The ship is to be only seven feet high,
and with the ballast frame the height
will be Is feet. Two propellers at the
rear end will force the ship through
the air at high rate of speed, as the
ship tapers off for IS feet in front, prac-
tically cutting the air like a knife,
Two propellers near the front end, one
IN the sides to guide the ship to the
right and left, also propeller up over
the front, st the tip end, for the purpose
of raising or lowering the front Of the
ship, causing the chip to be driven high
er or to descend toward the earth. Thrs
I will have complete control of the ship
and can compel it to 90 in any direc-
hon desired"
