berry, Mrs. Wilkins related, her hus-
band came home with his pockets
stuffed with money, several thousands
of dollars in bills of dlIerent denomi-
nations and gold coin. He was some
what under the influence of liquor at
the time and did not know where to
hide the money.
Well, Lige has done the job" he
said. land this is my share of it."
Finally the money was hidden in a
torn sofa at their home, and from this
place it was taken as each needed 1t,
from time to time-a fortune in their
possession, and yet it did not bring
them happiness.
In a few years the money was all
gone. Finally, for neglect and cruelty,
she obtained a divorce from him, leav-
ing soon afterward to reside with an
Uncle near Fort Wayne, Ind.
Within a few months Wilkins fol-
lowed her and for a time their difer-
eDces were patched up and they lived
tegether, only to be separated again
by his dissipation.

Battle with the World-Fought

Marion, O.-After being separated
from his parents for a quarter of a
century, John r. Gordon returned to
this city suddenly. Owing to some
troubles in his home, Gordon left
when seven years old. Going out
among strangers to battle for himself,
he located in West Virginia until the
Spanish-American wal broke out, when
he enlisted and went to the Philip
pines. At the expiration of his time
he returned to this country and Sc
cured employment. His anxiety in
regard to his dear old mother, who,
since his departure, has become the
wife of Robert Thomas, gave him the
feeling that he would again live to
clasp her in his arms.
On arriving in the city he made his
way to her home. Both wept for joy
until the mother collapsed from the
excitement.

Bureau Of Forestry Doing Good Work
in This Direction Better
Methods in Use.

In the states of the middle west
there is pressing need of more trees,
both for wood and for %windbreaks and
shelter-belts. This need has been felt
since the prairies were first settled, but
the attempts made to supply it have.
as a rule, fallen short of the benefits
which might have been secured. The
early planting was done chiefly for the
sake of ornament Dr. shade; the useful
ness of the species for wood was sell
dom considered. In many cases, also
tees were planted outside of the range
to which they were adapted, and on
soil and in locations ~unfavorable 10
them. On the other hand, many valu-
able species were neglected.
Experience has now furnished the
basis for better practice. Various kinds
CT trees car be grown in these regions
which will serve just as well for pro-
lection and ornament as those which
have been most used, and which at the
same time will furnish valuable wood
For several years the forest service
has been been investigating this sub
ject, says the Prairie Farmer, with re-
suits which are recognized throughout
the prairie region as of great practical
studies of the existing forest growth,
10th natural and planted, of its rela-
ton to soil and climatic conditions.
and of the effect of various cultural
methods.
In carrying on the work forest serv-
ice field parties examine and make
measurements of representative groves.
From these measurements volume and
yield tables are made which show the
returns in cordwood, posts, stakes anu
lumber to be expected in a given time
for each of the species studied. In ad-
dition to the measurements, the char
acteristics of growth and reproduction
of the trees are noted, and valuable
data on the natural distribution and adj
visable planting range obtained.
The work in the eastern part OF the
two Dakotas, western Minnesota, Hi
rois, eastern Nebraska and western
Kansas has been published, giving in
formation concerning the species mos.
suitable to the locality. and telling
now and where to plan them. Bulletins
OF the same character covering other
states are in preparation. This sum
mer Iowa was studied, and later other
states of the middle west, until the
whole region is covered. Considerable
t1ee nJautinp has been done in some OF
these states, occasionally with COM
rlete success; but there have been
many total failures, and many at
tempts successful only in part. AS a
rule. the lack of success was due to
lack of knowledge how and what to
rlant. But" these plantations, whether
successful or not. provide valuable OBJ
iect lessons in respect to future plant
ing.

ACIDITY OF PLANT ROOTS.
Experiments in Italy Which Go to
Prove an Old Accepted Theory
Among Agricultural Students.

1t has long been a question as to
the manner in which plant roots take
up food from the soil. The very great
rapidity with which plants grow
would seem to indicate that the root
of each plant eXudes some kind of an
acid that has the power to set free
latent plant food. This has been so
firmly believed hat it has become an
accepted tenet with many agricultural
students, says the Farmers Review. 1t
will be interesting to many of these 70
learn that experimenters in Italy have
demonstrated beyond all question that
the tip of the root does eXude an acid.
1t was found in Italy that when blue lit
mus paper was placed in contact with
the points of the roots of sugar beets
the paper at the point where it came III
contact with the roots changed to a red
color. This could be due to nothing less
than the diffusion of an acid. Its present
value in agriculture is considerable. as
it gives us some information relative
to the availability of plant food in the
soil.

EXPERIMENT WITH AIRSHIP
Professor Zahm of Washington Dis

Balloon Part.

Washington, D. CA grant OF $500

institution from the Hodkins fund to
DR.. A.. F. Zahm, professor of phys

for a series of experiments on atmos-
pheric resistance to moving bodies.
Prof. Zahm completed the experiments
some months ago, but has not ceased
his Investigations of aerial resistance.
DR.. Zahm holds that Secretary Lang
lev has proved that the aerodrome, as
finally constructed, will not only fly,
but will carry the weight of n man,
the problem now to be solved being the
mode of managing the craft when it is
in the air.
DR.. Zahm proved that the best
shape for the balloon part of the air
ship was that following the lines OF
the modern submarine torpedo.

Seven years ago the American ma
tional bank at Lima, O., was robbed of
SIS, 1882, the money having been taken
from the vaults sometime between Sat
urday night and Monday morning, but
just when and by whom was unknown
until the last few weeks. Now. Elijah
B%owsher, the trusted ~janitor OF the
bank at the time of the robbery, and
Thomas K. Wilkins, an insurance
agent at Lima, are behind prison walls
in the penitentiary at Columbus, o..
serving out sentences of seven and five
years respectively, for the crime, the
former as principal and the latter as
accessory, both convicted on pleas OF
guilty in open court and sentenced
without a trial.
The story OF the robbery and the
final detection of the guilty reads like
fiction. 1t is more interesting, because
true. than any of the novels ever writ
ten by "Old Sleuth," the famous detec-
tive author.
Discovery of Robbery.
The fact that the bank had evidently
been robbed was first made known to
the cashier, Gus Kalb, by Janitor Bow
sher on the morning of Monday, De-
cember rs, 1898, then a holiday be-
cause Christmas of that year fell on
Sunday. He went to the home of the
cashier and Informed him that he had
found the door of the bank vault open.
An investigation followed and the
robbery was discovered. The only sus-
picOus fact, however, when Cashier
Kalb entered the bank that forenoon.
was hat the outer vault door was
open. The inner door was bolted Sc
curely, the time lock apparently not
having been tempered with and the
mechanism of all the combination
locks working properly. How had the
robbers secured an entrance? This
was a mystery that it has taken seven
years TO unravel.

dent Of the bank, n. l.. Michael, had
locked the vault doors and the safes

cry of the robbery. setting the time
lock to run down on Monday noon, APP

then.
