How TO SPELL anARNsvILLEr

The village Of Evansville has three
names according to the common way
of the people and the action Of the
railroad company. They are, Barns.
vile, Barnstown and GAINESVILLE, the
last name having an e" in the middle.
The original name Of the village Ii
Evansville, named for that branch
Of the Barns family living on the West
side Of the river and spelling the name
without the "e.'' There is an inter
ssting story in connection with the
dropping Of the "e" in the original
Barnes name. 1t Is too long to relate
here, but 1t was due to a clerk who
in recording a grant Of land wrote
the name Barns instead of Barnes
owing to the fact that there is a
Barnesyllle in Ohio, also, on the B,
and o. railroad, and a larger town
than our village, the railroad company
changed the name Of the station to
Barnstown. However, the real and
proper name Of the village Is Barns
vile.

Kite Flies Under Water.
the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
 A strange kite has been devised by Swedish engineer. It is made to fly under water It is made of light canvas ad- justed to a light but strong metal frame and in shape not dissmilar to the aerial kite, except that ii is made in two sec tions, the lower and smaller one depending from the upper, with which 1t is connect ed by a sort of coupling. The object sought by the engineer is to provide ships with an everready automatic guard or watch that will give instant alarm If the vessel enters shoal waters and is ap- preaching a spot where the depth is not sufficient for safety. The underwater kite Is fastened to a thin wire cable att tached to a winch on deck. The purpose of the water kite is to float beneath or beside the ship at A depth that is suf- ficeint to insure safety. If at any time, day or night, the lower section of the kite strikes bottom a device instantly re- leases the coupling with which 1t Is se- cured to the upper section, and an alarm bell Is sounded on the deck of the endan- gered vessel. Precautions can at once be taken to secure its safety. The kite mean while is drawn up. readjusted and thrown overheard to maintain its faithful watch.

clover are wet land plants, and we have many soils all over the south where the soil Is too wet to grow any other kind of grasses or clover and many of these lands. if properly prepared, would pro- duce fine crops of red top and Alsike clover. This combination makes one of the finest qualities of hay. While these are better adapted than other grasses for wet soils, fine crops of eacn may be grown on many of our uplands. In sowing this combination use fourteen pounds of red top and about eight pounds of clover seed to the acre.
 Season is Here.
 Remember that this is the season to prepare the soil for all of these grasses and clovers, and if the matter is neglect ed, failure is sure to result. In fact the time has passed for preparaing lands for many of our winter grains. Of course, wheat, rye. oats. and barley can all be sown yet, but July was the time to pre- pare soils for these grains. There is only one time for doing things and that is the right time. Just a little personal experi- ence along thls line. A few weeks ago (about the first of Augusta when l was writing on the importance of sowing win ter grains for pasture. it was pouring down rain, and l was sowing my corn fields to winter rye, and now my rye IS hand high and fine stand and will, as soon as the grass is gone, furnish all my stock fine pasture all winter. These earlier sowings when a stand Is secured always produce heavier and better crops than late sowings.
 The idea, as above stated. is that in or der for the farmer to get what he should from the soil, he should farm 1t the entire year, instead of only half the time. It is an easy matter to select grains, grasses and clovers for a rotation that will give us something green on our lands the en- tire year.
 I am preparing bulletin on these win ter crops and our readers can have 1t for the asking. Address Fulton s. White, Room 1044, Frisco Building, St. Louis, Mo.

How to Read Old Coins.
he Naw yorlr proas

From the New York Press.
 I am almost afraid to say a word about coins, because people are so easily tempt cd to believe that each old piece of silver currency of the long ago lying about the house is worth a fortune. But this Is too good to skip: "If you wish to read an in scription which age has obliterated on a silver coin, heat poker redhot and place the coin upon 1t. The inscription will plainly appear in a greenish hue, but will disappear again as the coin cools." Au- thority unknown.
