Natural GImIets.

Interesting experiments have been
made TO test the power Of root penetra-
ton in various soils. An excavation
was made some six feet in depth, so as
TO leave vertical wall Of soil. Against
this a jet Of water was played from Il
garden sprinkler until the earth was
washed away ana the roots Of growing
plants were laid bare Roots thus ex-
posed In a field OF rye and in one Of
beans and in a bed Of garden peas ana
all the appearance Of a matted felt Of
white fibers, which spread downward
about four feet Similar inspection OF
roots Of wheat showed that in seven
months they had reached a depth OF
three feet and half. The root fibers
OF both maize and clover have been

Capri, beautiful in itself as a winter
resort offers an irresistible invitation
To artists, since il has an inn where
any one, by painting II picture on the
wall, can get free board. 10 the lovely
island of Capri, with its perennial
summer, its blue grotto and It's lemon
groves, went some fifty years ago an
artist almost on the verge of ruin. lie
opened an inn and died rich. In his
will, leaving the inn to his heirs, he
made these conditions:
THE charge per day, two bottles Of
red Capri Wine included, is never TO he
more than & francs. If any artist is
too poor 10 pay he shall paint picture
upon some wall space receiving all
the accommodation accorded TO those
paying the highest price, II any Ger
man artist shall come TO the inn he
shall be accommodated aud shall re-
cciye the amount OF his fare to Ger
many upon his promise never TO return
TO Italy"
The inn is conducted today ON these
conditions. Its walls are covered with
paintings.

HAS A HISTORICAL BIBLE
One That Was Carried Through the
Revolutionary War by Lord Corn
wallis Secretary.

Morristown, Ind, Aug. IA Bible
of rare historical value has been
found in possession of Marion Aber-
nathy. of this city It is an English
pocket Bible carried tl*rough the revo-
lutionary war. The book is of a very
early print. bound in heavy leather
and was handed down to the present
owner from his grandfather, Alexander
Mcdaniel, who was private secretary
to Lord CORVALLIS.
At the surrender of the British at
Yorktown the Bible was among his
cherished possessions which he was
permitted to retain. Folded in the book
is a letter, now yellowed by age, writ
ten by McDaniel's sister in Scotland
and dated Oct. %, 1892.

An Accommodates lob.

Castro appears to have the presiden-
cy of Venezuela just where he wants
it. If he gets tired of the job he can
take it off and hang it up in the clos
ct, knowing that it will be there for
him when he comes back after It,
Few men have got the game beaten
like that. In these swift modern days
a man hardly steps out of Office until
he becomes a back number and a has
been, and about year later well post
ed people begin to scratch their heads
and wonder who he is when they hear
his name mentioned.
With Castro it is different If he
wants to go down in the audience and
watch himself acting he can do so
without having some one tell him that
a worthier son has coppered the job
when he comes back Whenever he
feels that way he steps to the front
and explains in loud tone of voice,
'T am it," and the others bow down
and exclaim in chorus, That's right?'

for the political discussion. He had

When Representative Sherman left
Sycamore Hill he said that while he
had gone over the congressional cam
paign with the president thoroughly
the principal object of his visit was to
review the campaign text book which
is to be issued next week. 1.-The book
will be a stand-pat document, with
word pictures of the record Of the Re
publican party and reasons why that
party should be kept in power" said
Sherman. Sherman spoke appreciative-

he said, was good. "Of course" he re-
marked, 1.-The Republicans are not go

BRYAN VS.. ROGER SULLIVAN
Democratic Leader Determined in His
Fight Against the IIlinoisan.

Democratic Leader Determined in His
Fight Against the IIlinoisan.
Paris, Aug. 14.-William J. Bryan
has given out statement concerning
the controversy respecting the Illinois
Democratic national committeeman.
The controversy has grown out of
Bryans letter demanding the resigna-
ton of National Committeeman Roger
Sullivan, to which demand Sullivan
returned a prompt refusal and stated
that Bryan had been misinformed re-
speeding the situation by NJ. f. Dun
lap. Bryans rejoinder says that no
one but himself is responsible for the
information contained in his letter, and
adds:
Il entered into this contest because
l believed that Roger Sullivan and
John Hopkins had deliberately robbed
the Democrats of Illinois of their po-
litical right. and still believe so. To
secure political power by force or by
fraud ought to be as disgraceful in the
eyes of the public to secure money by
force or fraud. | cannot conceive of
any plausible defense which Mr.. Sulli
van can make for remaining on the
national committee.
IF the body is unable to rid it
self of the leadership of men like Sui
Ivan, who seek to control the party
organization in order to advance their
corporate interests, it might as well
| dissolve. While l was anxious to give
Sullivan q chance to retire without a
| fight it is probably just as we'll that
he refused, for if we must fight to puri-
/ fy the party organization, the sooner
! it begins the better"
/ Chicago. Aug. 14-After he had read
/ the Paris interview with Bryan Roger
/ Sullivan said: Mr.. Bryan says that
he did not write the letter demanding
my resignation as national committee
/ man at the instigation Of T. NJ Dun
/ lap. In my Judgment that statement
/ is not exactly in accordance with the
facts. In other words it is somewhat
misleading. AS to Mr.. Bryan's belief
that John Hopkins and l have robbed
the Democrats of Illinois, all the in
formation he has on that subject came
from Willard Fillmore Dunlap and
Judge 0. T. Thompson. 1t was wrong
then and it is just as wrong now"

Foe TO the Sex.

TUE 10 tl1C OSAs
The mouse is a creature
Quite large and ferocious.
The deeds of this monster
Are simply atrocious.
On man as a diet
The mouse doesn't thrive,
But 1t for amusement
Eats women alive.
A woman for blocks
1t will ruthlessly follow
And eat her right down,
Dress and all. at a swallow.
She cannot escape it;
There's no use to try.
The mouse is determined
The lady must die.
No wonder the sight
OF a mouse is distracting
And calls right away
For some very bad acting.
Then is it a marvel
A lady would swoon
Or want to escape
In some friendly balloon?
You never would guess
That the mouse had a talent
For being so rude
And so very ungallant.
Indeed it is all
Beyond masculine ken,
For really the mouse
Is afraid of the men.
