An analysis of the ashes OF the re-
cent Vesuvian eruption shows, we
are told by a Partisan journal, that
they appear to contain substances
that might make them useful to far
mers as a fertilizer. This explains
| why, after the eruptions of Pelee and
Vesuvius, the slopes of these volcan-
oes, after a few rains, became COW
cred, it would appear, with ~luxuriant
vegetation, SO that their destructive
activity is scarcely recalled. They
cause crops to grow that they may
destroy them at the next eruption
! and fertilizer the soil afresh.

In his Bakerian lecture in London
| recently, Professor John Milne said
| that in addition to the many tremors
due to seismic, Or earthquake, infu-
| ences which delicate modern instru-
ments detect, there are certain pulsa-
| lions which seem to have some other
origin. Some of these are diurnal,
and are probably due to the influence
of the sun and the weather on the
ground. In wet weather the sides
and bottom of a valley carry a great
er load than the bounding ridges; in
dry weather the case is reversed.
| Even the Transportation of moisture
by plants may produce ~perceptible eff
fects upon the tilt of the ground.
Thus the face of mother earth is al
most as sensitive to external infiu-
ences as the skin of a living creature.

GERMANS TURNED DOWN
Application for a Charter in the Steam
Engineers Union Is Re-
j0CteO.

Milwaukee, Sept 17.-An application
for a charter by a number Of German
engineers in the city of New York has
been truned down by the convention Of
Information Union of Steam Engieers.
The greater part of the session was de-
voted to the considera ton of this ques-
ton. The main point against the APP
plicatiOn was that all examinations for
membership in the union must be made
in the English language and it was sug-
geSted that all German engineers may
not be sufficiently verSed in the Eng
lish language to pass a creditable ex-
amtiOn.
Furthermore it was claimed that IL
one class of foreigners was admitted
to the union others would have an
equal right to a charter, and the appli-
cation was therefore tabled. The con-
vention elected Matt Comerford, of ST.
Paul, president, and r. A. Eckel, Of
Peria, ILL.,. secretary treasurer, and ad-
journed sine die.

The Cemetery Association Work.

Though the liberality of those in
terested in the cemetery, the com
mittee ofithe cemetery association
has the sum of eighty dollars to
turn into the association treasury,
without having the work to do at
the fair grounds they had intended
doing.
The amount paid for the care of
lots at the cemetery is scarcely suf-
fic1ent for that purpose as from $40
to $50 is paid out each month for
about ski months for such work,
and committee is appointed each
year to raise money for extra i'm
prOvements.
The money raised now will be
used toward the payment of ma
cadamIzing a new road, which will
cost about 5000, and $3.50 was paid
for similar work last fall. -
The committee hopes to raise at
least suffi eient amount during the
year to finish paying for this road.

The remarkable success of the
college of agriculture of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin in helping the
farmers of the state with the sOlu-
ton of their practical problems has
led President Van Hise and the uni
versity regents to extend the same
methods of instruction to the man
in the shop, the clerk, bookkeeper,
housekeeper, teacher, and to wage
earners of every class who are un-
able to attend college, so that they
may increase their practical know
ledge and their opportunities for
advancement This extension work
of the university will be done
through correspondence courses
which will be simple and practical,
and will be given at a cost SO low as
to just cover the expense of main
tenance. 1t is planned to have
these correspondence courses fit
into the regular courses of the uni
versity in such way as to inspire
young men and women with an
ambition to continue study at Madi-
son and fit themselves for still
higher positions. Those w ho have
not kept in touch with the recent
remarkable development of cor
respondence work will be surprised
to find out how much practical
instruction can be given by we'll
planned courses. One difficulty in
pushing he new movement lies in
the fact that thousands of people
who wholly approve the general
plan, fail to,make a personal applica-
ton of the principle.

Putting Friendship to
The Test and Result

n NEE there was a man who want
ed to test the friendship which
another man protested to have
for him.
i WILL he said to himself. s'pretend
tnat l have been financially ruined. I'll
put on old clothes and rumple my hair
and go for two or three days without
shaving, and then I'll hunt him I'D and
tell MIN a hard luck story and see
whether be is worth having as a
friend"
He at oIaee proceeded 10 put his plan
into operation. He informed several
people In confidence that he was in
financial straits, and he ceased to look
prosperous. After he had fixed every
thing in accordance with the plans
which had been previously made he
started out In search Of his friend. But
it happened that in the meantime the
people who had been appraised of the
financial reverses Of the friendship
tester had made a wild rush to get
their money out Of enterprises in
which he was interested. AS q result
the securities he held became worth
less right away; nobody would give
him credit; the banks called upon him
for immediate settlement, and within
week he was ruined in spite of all
that his friend could Go for him.
Moral.-Never put friendship to ths
test as long rs you can avoid doing so

MANY ORDER BOOKED BY THE

Sufficient 20 Keep the Plant I'm On
Grafton for Six Months-Device
"a Success.

The Electro Static IgnIter Com
pany OF 213 Market street. Pitts
burg has orders ahead for six
months. The company manufac-
lures the Struthers Automatic
sparker for use on gas and gasoline
engines. II is said to be the only
ignition dynamo that entirely and
successfully does away with all bat
teries. The invention is that of
Joshua a. Struthers. a young col
ored man who came here from Des
Moincs, Iowa. He claims that
there arc several automatic spark
ers on the market, but his inven-
tion is the only one that sparks at
the lowest speed. The automatic
sparkcr saves ten per cent OF the
gas, increases the efficiency OF the
engine 20 per cent, insures easier
running and less engine repair
work, and is easier on all machin-
cry.
The company has fitted many gas
ana gasoline engines In this city
with the device. and IL has worked
successfully whenever tried. Mr..
Struthers. the inventor. is a very
capable young colored man. and Is
thoroughly versed in mechanics.

President Hayes and the Libel Suit

Prof. C. w. Hayes. President of
the Virginia Theological Seminary
and College at Lynchburg and al
legged publisher OF the Christian Or
gsnizer has been the defendant in
two suits brought by Rev. +. A. =.
Cheek, pastor Of the First Baptist
Church OF Farmville. Va. The
cause of the same was the pubiica-
tion OF scandalous article connect
ing the name Of Rev. Check with
that Of a t.are5 female OF Farm
Vile and placing him in a most un-
savory light before the public. He
thereupOn instituted n suit for GRIM
inal libel and another for ten thous-
and dollars damages.
The trial OF the former was held
in the Mayors Court OF Lynchburg
and upon the sworn statement OF
President Hayes that ne was not the
author OF the communication and
was out Of the city and therefore in
nOwise responsible for the publica-
tion or tho same, tho case against
him was dismissed. The civil suit
is as yet pending. but as the settle
ment OF the criminal libel suit would
have formed the basis for the civil
one, II Is not certain that tho other
case will BE- brought 10 trial, al
though II may be.
