DEVICES FOR SAFETY.
Exposition VIII DO Held to Exhibit
Life Savers.

The American Institute of Social
Service WITH hold next January in
New York city an exposition of de-
vices for safeguarding the lives and
limbs of working men and women and
for preventing accidents under the or
binary conditions of life and labor to
which the general public is exposed
This will be the first exposition of
the kind in this country, says the Chi
cago Evening Post As far back as
1889 there was a German exposition
for the prevention of accidents. In
1893 an exposition of this nature was
held In Amsterdam, and since then
there have been several similar ones
in continental Europe and Canada.
As an outgrowth of these national
movements there have been organized
several museums of security, one at
Vienna in 1890, one at Amsterdam in
1893, one at Munich in 1900, one at
Berlin in 1901 and one at Paris in
1905, and Russia recently established
q museum on a large scale at Moscow.
That these expositions and museums
have been of real value to their re-
spective countries is evidenced by a
comparative study of the number of
accidents in Europe and in America,
which shows that for the same num-
Der of men employed in a given trade
America has from two to nine times
as many accidents as European coun-
tries

ONE GERM BEET SEED.
Scientists solve Problem Ur Econon..
teal Beet Culture.

Scientists Solve Problem uf Ec0non,-
teal Beet Culture.
Professor w. ". Tracy of the de-
partment of agriculture has just re-
turned from the far west, where lie
has been looking after the experiments
With beet seeds on which the depart
| ment has been working for years.
AS Il result of these operations it was
announced 10y Charles T. Saylor, spe-
cial agent of this work, that one
germ seed has been developed which
will solve the problem, says Il Wash
ington dispatch to the Omaha World
Herald. This is one of the most re-
markab}e processes in plant develop
ment the department scientists have
ever undertaken.
a beet seed is, in fact not seed, but
a cluster of seeds in a small husk
Planted, each germ inside the husk
starts a little plant. The small cluster
thus crowds each other, and it is nee
essary to pull by hand all but one in
order that it may have room to develop
a beet fit for sugar. Abroad, where la
Dor is cheap. this is done by hand; in
this country no one will do such work
Farmers want to cultivate their farms
from a spring seated cultivator drawn
by four horses. So the beet sugar in
dustry has grown slowly because there
was nobody TO pull the superfuous
beets. Secretary Wilson set his scien-
lists to work to develop a beet seed
with only single germ in it. This,
Professor Tracy says they have done.
Last wears seeds contained 80 1-3
per cent of one germ seed. The expert
ments began four years ago. In three
years more of evolution, says the sci
enlist, they will have seed with uni
formly single germ. Then it can be
planted by machinery at proper inter
walls. No pulling of extra plants will
be necessary, cultivating and digging
can be done by hand, and the Ameri-
can beets will easily supply all the
country's sugar.

She was homely and to most persons
unattractive, yet as she entered the
train a sort Of halo seemed to surround
her as,one set apart from common NOR
tails. There was no indication of ex-
ceptionai talent, ability or endowment
about her, no evidence of superiority,
but a certain indefinable distinction.
1t was not quite an air of conquest,
though suggestive of satisfactory
achievement She bore her head high
and wore a Buddha-like expression of
proud serenity.
Only moment was she settled in her
seat when off came her gloves. and
then the key to the problem was evil
