Kaiser Wilhelm.

The dislike of the German emperor
shown by English people of all classes
to-day is odd. To the unimaginative
person the German emperor could never
appeal, because with all his practical
energy, his desire to do good business,
he is romantic. There is something Of
Richard Plantagenet or Charles XII.
about him. But why he should act as
blister on English people, who care
for heroes and romance and are moved
by a great gift Of oratory, we cannot
understand. They might forgive him
a good deal because his speeches trans
late into such grand English Besides,
he remains far and away the most in
teresting and potential figure in world
politics.-Saturday Review.

FAN Care of Fruit Trees.

Young fruit trees need protection In
winter, not only from the cold, but
also from rabbits and other rodents.
The trunks of the trees can be wrap
ped with some material, such as old
clothes, etc., or have box little
larger than the tree set around it
high enough that rabbits cannot reach;
above it. A farmer in South Dakota
uses wire cloth wound loosely around
the tree. It will, besides protecting
from rabbits, effectually protect
against sun scald. It will last several
years by loosening as the tree grows.
Rotten straw makes good mulch for
young trees. 1t prevents a drying out
Of the soil during the winter, which
is said to be fatal to trees. The mulch
should be removed in the spring early.
1t is claimed that to prevent trees
budding out too early in the spring
and being killed by late freezes a
good plan is to pile manure around
the tree after the ground has frozen
hard in the fall. The manure keeps
the ground frozen near the tree and
prevents the sap rising during the first
warm spells in late winter.

Lighting the Barn.

1t is practically impossible to get
along without an artificial light OF
some kind in a barn, and the lantern
is probably the most useful article OF
this kind available for the purpose.
Any confagrations resulting from it's
use are due to carelessness. 1t is
easy to arrange a number of conven-
lent hooks and nails in the barn on
which to fasten the lantern so there
Have the appliance according to the
location. In some places spike
driven into the studding at the proper
angle will be just the thing. In other
places a stout rope, or better, wire,
fastened to the wall securely and at
the other end fastened snap such as
is used on a harness will make the
best and safest plan for handling the
lantern.
In other places a projecting strip
will make the safest resting place.
Do not set the lantern down on any
place raised from the foor-there is
always danger Of its being upset in
this way. Above all things, do not
use an ordinary hand lamp in the
barn Get lantern, and buy gool
one, then keep it in good condition as

prestige. She was In sympathy with
his ideas of art. She fell in with his
plans of building a magnificent home
in New York, and then by their liber-
ality to art and artists gain for them
selves q niche in New York's Four
Hundred This was in 1897, when ha
was forced by expiring franchises to
get out of Chicago with a fortune
amounting to $1O,OOO,OGO Everything
was roseate for the wife, who saw no
obstacle to fulfilling her highest am
billions in the social world, and at his
death inheriting an immense fortune.
But even before this Mr.. Yerkes had
met ii Cincinnati strikingly beauti-
full girl, lot yet out of her teens. She
was dressed attractively and had an
ambitious mother. While the daugh-
ter smiled her way into the heart Of
the great fnancier, the mother, more
yersed in the ways of the world, saw
in Yerkes' fancy way to make the
future comfortable, and Before many
days had passed she and her daughter
were comfortably ensconced in one Of
New York's finest hotels.
From that moment the star of the
wife began to wane, and that of the
graceful girl, who soola began to ac-
quire a knowledge Of the acrafty
schemes of woman Of the world, as
cended. 1t was not long before she
was brought by the aGniring husband
to his wifes home in Lawrence Park,
BronNyille. She was entertained there,
and she gave suggestions toward tho
building of the magnificent home in
9Th avenue, whose doorstep the Yerkes
hoped to make their stepping stone
into New York's most exclusive So
ciety.
While this house was being built
the beautiful daughter and the schem-
ing mother were planning a preten-
tious residence, to cost 100000, on a
large plot of ground just two blocks
away The wife, unconscious of the
devotion Of her husband for another
woman, was herself selecting and buy
ing pictures, Oriental hangings, rugs
and tapestries for the second house.
1t thus happened that short time
after the mansion on 9Th avenue was
finished, the key to the second man
sion was turned over to the young
Cincinnati woman. The wife in time
had her eyes opened to the true situa
ton and naturally Yerlles and his wife
became estranged. Since then Mrs.
Yerkes has been living in solitary
splendor in the 9TH avenue mansion.
From New York Yerkes turned his
attention to London and by develop
ing railway property there added
largely to his millions. In London he
became power ami got into society,
the great metropolis either not know
ing or not caring that he had worn
prison stripes in Philadelphia, that he
stood charged of bribery and corrup-
ton in Chicago and that through the
power of his millions he had erased

DIVING INTO VAST DEPTHS.
Extraordinary Feats Have Been Per.
formed by Famous Experts.

Extraordinary Feats Have Been Per.
formed by Famous Experts.
At what depth can a diver carry
out his functions? How long can he
remain under the surface? What is
the effect Of high air pressures on the
human system? One well-known firm
of submarine engineers limits the
depth Of descent to twenty-five faith
oms, or, say, 80 feet. But operations
have been carried out at greater
depths than this, and perhaps the
greatest distance below the surface at
which diver has succeeded in work
ing is thirty-fo fathoms or 204 feet.
This was accomplished by James
Hooper, who descended to the ship
Cape Horn, sunk off Pichidanque,
South America, and sustained pres
sure Of SS1a pounds on every square
inch Of his body
Another remarkable feat was that
Of Alexander Lambert, who recovered
$350,000 in gold coin from the steam
ship Alphonso XII, sunk off Point
Gando, Grand Canary, in nearly thirty
fathoms of water, the actual depth of
the treasure room being tWenty-six
and two-thirds fathoms, or 160 feet
This man also performed the daring
feat of stopping the flooding Of the
Severn tunnel when a door in the
drainage tunnel had been left open.
The door was situated quarter Of a
mile distant from the shaft, but equip
distance through a narrow passage full
of water and closed the door. This
plucky act enabled the pumps to over
come the volume of water which was
flooding the working and allowed the
completion of the tunnel to be carried
out.
A further interesting case Of deep
diving is that of Angel Erostarbe, who
succeeded in recovering silver bars
valued at $4,000 from the steamer
Skyro, sunk off Cape Finisterre in
over thirty fathoms. In this case the
diver had to blow away portions OF
the vessel with dynamite before he
could reach the treasure chamber
Three dives per diem were frequent
and as many as five descents were
made in one day. The maximum Pc
Rod under water was twenty minutes
The effect Of high pressures on the
constitution is not found injurious
when the work is carried out under
ordinary precautions. A French sci
enlist has gone so far as to claim that
breathing compressed air is remedy
for asthma and emphysema. It is also
said to excite digestion, owing to the
great quantity of oxygen carried into
the blood. 1t has been found that
period of two hours should elapse be-
tween a meal and descent. In de-
scending the movement should be slow,
and if the pressure causes pains IN the
head this can be remed1ed by rising
gently a few feet, when the descent
can be recontinued. In ascending DIV
ers are recommended not to exceed
speed of two feet a second.-PaH Mall

and that tends to the decomposition
and neutralizing of the organic mat
ter in it. Water from sandstone or
slate rock also is generally pure.
Water from limestone, however, es-
pecially if magnesa is mixed with it,
may be very injurious. 1t is liable to
produce various troublesome diseases,
and one of these, known as goiter, is
exceedingly common. 1t causes

the enlargement of which is soft and

may be due to other causes, but water

STA is capable, nevertheless, of pro-
