Electric Current From Wire
Kills All Of a Family Except
One Sleeping Babe.

HOUSTON. TEXAS, May l3-Mrs. An
ME Blass, her hvc-ycar-old son. Bonnie
Blass, and John Graf, an aged man, met
death In a strange manner In the rear Of
The grocery store at the corner of Horgan
and Gentry Streets, In The Fifth Ward.
Electricity from wire that had formed
contact with the metal guttering about
the building and had been communicated
to the galvanized iron clstcrn behind,
dealt death to the trio.
First Bonnie, as lie went to fill n glass
of water, fell a victim to the hidden trap
And then his mother. presumably rushing
to the rescue, was killed, while last of all
came the aged man.
Lying as thoy fell Bonnie upon the
ground between the cistern and the
house, the mother across tho little bony,
and then the aged man. withered by the
current that came with such force by the
deal instantaneous death, the corpses
wore found smoking mound of human
flesh.
The wire from which death had come
was found and cut. One BY one the
bodies were lifted from their resting
place, and while the lone surviving baby
Of the Blass family slept peacefully only
ten feet away. they were carried TO the
morgue-
Mr., Graf was a machlnist, and for

Value of SPRAYING Trees.

So rapid has been the advancement Of
spraying as means of controlling In
sects and diseases that there Is ten
ucncy to greatly overestlmate It's value.
It was only twenty-s!x years ago that
Paris green was first used for the cooling
moth OF apples. Not until about 1855 was
the bordeaux mixture used to any ex-
tent. When we remember that practi-
cally all of our modern spraying--its tools,
mixtures and methods--has been devel'
pped or made of practical utility within
tho last fifteen or twenty years, until 1t
has come to be an almost universal prac-
tice among tho most successful fruit
growers, we can readily understand why
greater Importance Is sometimes ascribed
to 1t than 1t really merits Spraying is
a new idea, and, like most new ideas,
It has been overemphaslzed, There are
some old and n few new ways of solving
the insect and disease problems. Some
times these other ways may be better
even than spraying, sometimes they may
supplement 1t very advnntageously, We
should not forget them in our enthusiasm
over a new and valuable remedy

There were big increases In Argentine

financed almost entirely with British cal -3

able proportion of the chilled beef trade
from, tho United States While S,372 tong

rived In the United Kingdom last year
than in 1901, there was an increase Of
25,a3os tons OF imported chilled beef from
the Argentine Republic,
Great Britain hbsorbs about s. per
cent of the worlds total output In chilli
cd and frozen meat. The shipments of,
such meat to Germany have been made
difficult, II not Impossible, by the new
tariff in that country. Before March
LIST the rate on imported meat into Ger
many was about $3.50 per hundretweight.i n
Now It Is $i,l2 on meat from the most
favored nations. and for other countries
1t is $3.50 per hundredweIght. The effect
OF the Increase or this industry In Great
