Examinations of Metals.

Prof. Gruhn of Berlin has published de-
tails of his latest experiments demonstrate
ing his theory that metals have character
istic smells, notwithstanding that many
authorities have held that such bodies
are absolutely inodorous inasmuch as
they do not lose anything of their own
weight In the first experiment Herr
Gruhn shows that piece of copper, tin
or other metal at all times gives off an
odor, but which most persons cannot de-
tect, but when the same pieces are heated
above lamp they give off readily dis
tnguishable smells. After the heating is
continued for an hour or so the smell in
creases until equal to that in cold state
If continued, the odor ceases to be appre-
ciable. 1t is, therefore, inferred that the
vaporized matter is not identical with the
metal itself.

TORNADO KILLS TWENTY.
Terrific WindstOrm Demolishes Alex
nndrin. In.

andria, La.
A cyclone occurred at Alexandria,
La, Friday, in which at least twenty
persons were killed and more than 100
injured. The storm is reported to have
been one of the worst ever seen in that
section of the State and wrought APP
palling havoc. A great part of the
town is in ruins. Fifty houses have
been torn TO bits and several stores and
factory buildings demolished, while
scores of other buildings were badly
shattered Alexandria is located near
the center of the State and is an inn
portant railroad and commercial city,
with a population of about 1000.
4 wide swath was cut by the cyclone
through the town. extending for miles
through a rich and populous farming
district. The damage to buildings and
crops will amount to millions. Ac-
cording to reports the cyclone struck
the town about O'Clock in the morn
ing. 1t came with scarcely a warning
note. The sleeping citizens were
aroused by tremendous, terrifying
roar of wind that was scarcely heard
before it seemed to fill the whole air
of the town with a deafening crash.
Houses toppled down like cards or
were lifted completely from their foun-
dations and dropped many yards away
shapelesS mass of timbers with their
occupants crushed in the ruins. Roofs
were torn off and went sailing through
the air like huge kites. Trees were
uprooted and tossed a hundred feet
into the air, and some of them were
carried miles away. The air was fill
ed with flying timbers and many per-
sons were struck by these as they
rushed from their lettering homes.
Men, women and children and animals
were caught up by the mighty current
of wind and some of them were carried
a block in the air. The storm was over
in a few minutes.

The lambs come into the world per-
fectly free from parasites and gener-
ally from germ diseases. 1t is prob
able that most of them are free from
internal parasites. The flock owner
should realize this and ldeavor to
protect the little things from all that
would make them less thrifty than they
are when they are born, says Farmers
Review. Some of the most successful
flocks of sheep in the country have been
made so because of the care bestowed
upon them. In the very first place they
have been protected against all kinds Of
parasites, and have been given quarters
in which disease germs could not
thrive.
Their owners have realized the fact
that about all that sheep need is a
chance to be thrifty. 1t is well known
that they have in themselves an I'M
usual power of resisting disease and
of rising above averse conditions. The
successful raising of sheep does not re-
quire extraordinary measures 50 much
as ordinary measures. The steps to
be taken need to be those of protecting
the sheep against enemies of various
kinds rather than to devise new meth
DDS generally.
1t will be found that the successful
shepherds are in all cases men that
look carefully after the multitude Of lit
tie things, which go to make up the
grand total of things making for the
welfare of the flock. To give the sheep
a good fighting chance is all that Is
necessary to insure success.

President Roosevelt emphatically de-
MED the statement contained in a let
ter published in New York purportng
to have been written by E. H. Harri-
man to Sidney Webster of New York
in the latter part of December last. In
the letter the statement is made that
at the request of Roosevelt he (Harri-
man) assisted in raising a fund of
$250,000 to be used in carrying New
York for the Republican party at the
election which was then approaching.
This statement the President charac-
teriZes as a deliberate and wilful I'M
truth-by right it should be character
lied by an even shorter and more ugly
word. 1 never requested Hartman to
raise dollar for the presidential cam
paign in 1904"
With the full knowledge and consent
Of the President, details were given out
at the White House of the amazing
combine which the President says ex-
lists among the Hartman interests to
defeat any candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination who bears the indorse-
ment of Roosevelt. The President now
claims that not only his candidate for
the Presidency, but his policies, wirf be
attacked by the men, who have pledged
a 100000 fund to carry out their
scheme.
e. II. Hartman declined absolutely
to talk about the report from Wash
ington that a fund of $5,0OO,000 had
been raised to prevent the nomination
for President of a man of President
Rooseyelt's choosing in 1908.

CONSTANTINE is CAUGHT.
Alleged Slayer of Mrs. Gentry Taken

Alleged Slayer of Mrs. Gentry Taken
After Long Chase.
Accused of the murder of Mrs. Louise
Hughes Gentry, Frank Constantine adj
mitted to the New York police that he
is the man whom the Chicago authori-
ties have sought for fifteen months.
Since the murder of the woman on
Jan. 6, 1906, Constantine, who admits
he was with her at the time of her
death, has been fugitive, fleeing from
the police first co Italy, then back to the
United States, to South America, and
back to the United States again. He
was about to embark for q second trip
to Italy when he was caught He claims
the woman committed suicide and says
that he fed because he was afraid he
would be accused of the crime and
would be unable to prove his innocence.
The murder of Mrs. Gentry was par
ticularly brutal, her head being almost
severed from her body by razor
slash. Constantine had been a lodger
at the Gentry home several weeks. He
posed as man of wealth. He said
that he was the son of Frank j. Con-
stantine, the wealthy real estate man
of New York. Mrs. Gentry mad been
Miss Louise Hughes an artist of some
prominence. She had been married to
Gentry about one year. Once, it was
reported, she told the wife of the jani-
tor that she was afraid she would be
killed. She gave no explanation for
this assertion.
After Constantine's disappearance a
number of suspects were arrested in
different parts of the continent.

SOft-Shelled Eggs.

1t is generally believed that the soft
sheIled eggs occasionally laid by the
hen Is due to deficiency Of lime in the
food Some experiments carried out
at the experiment station in Kansas,
however, seem to indicate that this is
not the right explanation. 1t rather
appears to be a case OF arrested de-
velopment due to nervous shock, and to
be analogous to abortion in mammals
Soft-shelled eggs We're laid at the ex-
pertinent station by hens subjected to
nervous excitement. And it is shown
that on an ordinary diet a hens sys-
TEN normally contains enough lime for
shells Of five or six eggs. If lime is
withheld. then. after laying these FIVE
or six. the hen will cease laying But
II lime in limited quantity be given. the
hen lays eggs in proportion to the
amount given. though the shells on in.
vestigation, are found to be somewhat
thinner than normal.
