In Wiring Give It's Number, Name of
Road and Time OF Arrival.
When you telegraph as friend the
next time you are going to visit him
and that you'd be delighted to have
him meet you at the train the next day,
for heavens sake telegraph him intelli.,

If the money, irritations and disap-
pointments of the year were aggre-
gated for the United States in hope
lessly unintelligible kilograms Of this
kind, the average political economist
would have fit When the average
person in the small city or town de.
cides on the jump to go to see a friend
in the city and decides to telegraph
that friend what train to meet, he Ee,
comes an unconscious imbecile.
Will leave for Chicago tonight on $3.50
train; Meet me. 1{
This is the text of a ten word mes
sage which received the other night
from a friend in an Ohio city He had
started for Chicago before the tele-
gram was received by me, and while I
wanted immensely to meet him at the
station instead of making the least eff
fort to do SO I took 1t out in swearing.
In sending a telegram announcing an
arrival the name of the road and the
train number are the two absolute es-s
sentials 1t will be a help to the recip-
lent Of the message in most cases If
the time of the arrival Of the train be
given also. Frequently, as between the
two stations involved In such mes
sage, difference of one hour in stand
ard time otherwise might confuse. But
as between the number of the train
and the numerals in the hour of ar
rival the telegrapher has a chance Of
error, and in writing the message
these two sets of numerals should be
separated by the name Of the road.
Taking the ten word message as the
standard Of length, then, any person
going anywhere from any station on
any railroad may use the one set form
of teiegraphic announcement Of ar
rival: 81,
Arrive No. 5, Lake Shore. due 8 o'clock
Monday morning.
Ordinarily no possible further infor-
nation is necessary in the greatest
railway center In America. The train
number is interchangeable on its own
system. ANY railway employee any
where will identify the train In mo-
ment If the recipient of the telegram
wishes to know whether the train is
on time before he starts to the station,
he can learn In a moment over the tel
ephone by asking about No. 5, and in
the query he will have the reader re-
Spouse for the reason that his inform
ant will be grateful for the inquirer's
succinct knowledge Of train operations.

A Dogs jealousy.

Dana is huge st Bernard who has
his own ideas as to hts Importance.
Whenever he wishes to attract atten-
ton he knocks his water pail over and
then rolls 1t around, growing at It and
making a great fuss. Then he puts
his head in and throws the pail high
In the air, batting at it with his paws
as It comes down. Re this does not
have the desired effect he picks up
the pail by the handle and takes 1t Into
the barn, where the noise Is increased
BY far owing to the wooden floor. This
performances Is given whenever the
horse Is petted or when strangers come
to the house Chicago Tribune.

His Head and the Psalm.

The Rev. g. N. Wright. Wardie vicar

HOW COLOR AFFECTS GROWTH
Result of Experiments Upon Plants
FORCING Flowers by Anaesthetics.,s

u ga
Il Color agriculture is the latest
Camille Flan1marion put seedlings OF
the sensitive plant into four different
houses an ordinary conservatory, a
blue house, an ordinary green house, a
red house, says the Chicago Tribune.
After few months waiting he found
the little plants in the blue house prac-
tically just as he had put them in
They seemingly had fallen asleep and
remained unchanged. In the green
glass house they had grown more than
In the ordinary glass house, but they
were weedy and poor. In the red
house the seedlings had become posi-
tive giants, well nourished and well
developed, fifteen times as big as the
normal plants. In the red light the
plants had become representative. II
was found that the blue light retards
the processes Of decay as well ,as
those of growth.
Perhaps the = e extraordinary de-
tvelopment is ths.s IF forcing plants BY
the use of ansssthetics. 1t was the
discovery of Dr. .1uhannesen of Copen-
hagen. The plants are put into a box
into which ether is evaporated. The
heavy vapor descends and enyelops
the plants. After forty eight hours the
plants are taken out and placed in a
cool house. The buds and plants at
once begin to sprout far more rapidly
than those plants that have not been
treated with anaesthetic. Chloroform
also can be used.
DR.. Johannesea suggests that we
here come on the question of repose
IN plants. In France, by setting I'D a
sort of lightning conductor in the cen.
ter OF a field and connecting it with a
network Of wires running through the
soil of the field, an increase of so per
cent was secured in a potato crop. The
electricity was draws from the at

PAPER PALS FOR MILK.

Latest Lonaon contrivance for Secur.
ing Pure Milk Supply.
For years London's milk supply has
been blamed by medical men and
health officers for a great deal Of the
infant mortality.
Now the dairy companies are TO de-
liver milk at the doors OF houses In
paper pals or pitchers, which are
said TO be absolutely proof against
germs art, water.
The paper pals are being made at a
new factory at the rate of $4,000 daily,
but they will require to be turned out
at the ase Of some millions daily il
the demand is to be met.
These milk pals, made from wood
pulp, can, of course be used only once,
says What to Eat. But they will be
cheaper than metal pals, pitchers of
glass bottles, for enc reason, because
all labor of cleaning and sterilizing
viii be saved. ~
The pail is simple continuance,
twelve times lighter than the ordinary
milk can, is strongly made and is fin
ished of, after being rendered water
proof, by being sterilized in a furnace
heated up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Every pail has a close fitting Hanged
cover which can be quickly adjusted,
and when fixed, effectually seals the
milk from any outside influence.

Says Kingston is a Heap Of
Smouldering
Ashes.

LONDON, Januray ia message to-
night from Sir Alfred Jones. which con-
firms the worst fears. This message Is
addressed Elder. Dempster & Co., and Is
as follows. livingston was overwhelmed
by an earthquake Monday afternoon at
$3.50. All the houses within Il radius of
ten miles have been demolished. and al
most every house in the city Is destroyed.
Fire broke out after the earthquake and
completed the work of destruction. It is
estimated that one hundred persons have
been killed and one thousand injured. The
public offices and hospitals are in ruins,
Among tho killed are Sir James Fergus
son. many prominent merchants and pro-
fessional men and a great many natives.
There were no fatalities at the Constant
Springs Hotel. The business quarter OF
Kingston is now heap OF smouldering
ashes. We are thankful that our party Is
all right"
This dispatch from Sir Alfred is prac-s,
tically identical with other messages re-
ceived from Kingston. including one from
correspondent of the Standard. who IS
with the Jones party. with the exception
that all the others give the death list M
Several hundred" while dispatch OF
similar purport received by tho direct
West Indian Gable Company says that
the loss of life was heavy"
At the present time. therefore. it Il
quite impossible to form reliable idea
of the number of lives lost.

Suicide, Had Misappropriated
Family Funds.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, January l6.-
The late Congressman Robert Adams,
Jr.. OF this city, who committed suicide
In his apartments In Washington last
year by shooting, was to-day declared in
the Orphans Court here to have been a
defaulter to the amount OF $4,000. The
startling assertion was made during the
argument in surcharge proceedings
brought against II. Carlton Adams, sur
viving executor and trustee OF the estate
OF his father. Robert Adams. Sr., by his
stepmother, Mrs. Robert Adams Sr., and
his stepsister, Mrs. Charles Moran, OF
New York
Counsel for III. Carlton Adams told the
court he would show that Congressman
Adams had appropriated to his own use
$4,000 worth of bonds belonging to the
estate OF Robert Adams. Sr.. and to II.
Carlton Adams. 1t was stated that the
Congressman and II. Carlton Adams had
keys to a safe deposit box. in which the
alleged missing bonds had been kept.
and that as far back as five years ago
Fl. Carlton Adams discovered that PeAn-
sylvania Canal bonds We're missing. He
notified his brother Robert. and the mat
ter was fixed up. Subsequently Fl. Carl
ton Adams's condition became such that
he could not attend to business, and mat
ters We're left in the hands OF tho Con-
gresham.
A broker testified that Congressman
Adams had pledged Pennsylvania Canal
Company bonds, valued at $4,000 for a
loan of $500 OF the remaining bonds.
valued at about $4,000 no trace has been
found.
In, proof of his assertion the attorney
for II. Carlton Adams produced in court Il
letter from the suicide Congressman, writ
ten In Washington the day he ended his
life In which he said he was sorry he
had caused mess. and urged that III.
Carlton Adams be not held responsible
for anything that might he missing.

While Mr.. Morgans obituary probably

ity to-day that the financier has placed
bis affairs In such shape that 1t will not
be necessary for him in future to give
personal attention to the business Of his
banking house. 1t will hereafter be in
the hands of j. P. Morgan. Jr., his son.
who has since January 1st been the prac-
tical head OF both the New York ana

Mr.. Morgan is nearly seventy, but he
Is in vigorous health. and is both men
