CELESTIAL CALAMITY AT YALE.
Scion Of Royal Family Plunged on
Head in Deep Marsh Hole.

New Haven, CONAN internation-
al calamity marked the first of the
Yale geological outings, when a num-
Der of the students under the guidance
of Prof. Barrett started on an expedi-
ton to the quarries along Stony creek.
With the party was Ponson Carlos
Chu of Shanghai, scion of the royal
family of China, whose father is high
in the government life of the coun-
try.
Riding to the quarries in freight
car, the students spent several hours,
starting back through the marshes for
a short cut to the railroad. Ponson is
one of the dandiest sports Yale has
seen in several years, and he nearly
tainted at the sight of the marsh and
looked at his new fall costume. Ac-
cepting the offer of Arthur Mullin, of
Salem, o., to carry him across on his
bacl1, all went well until Mullin
stepped into an unseen hole to his
waist and the royal lad from China
was thrown head foremost, his head
going deep into the mud and his
princely legs sticking up in the air.
He was rescued, but his face had
changed from the Monaghan yellow to
the sambo hue of the Ethiopian.
Ponson says geology is hard
course.

OWL FIGHTS LIKE EAGLE.
Huntsman Interferes with Its Pursuit
of Squirrel.

Allentown, Pa.-Adam Bohlinger, of
Upper Milford, the other morning
started for the Coleraine mountains
on squirrel hunt. He started early,
SO as to arrive just before sunrise,
when the squirrels begin to feed.
Just as dawn was breaking Mr.. Bob
linger saw monster owl fitting
through the woods, and the next in
slant it darted for squirrel.
It missed and tried again. Then
Bohlinger fired. It dropped and Bob
linger tried to pick it up and immedi-
ately discovered that instead of kill
ing it he had only succeeded in break
ing it's wing.
The wounded owl fastened its talons
IN Bohlinger's hand and put up so des-
perate a fight that before the hunter
succeeded in killing it his face and
hands were torn and scratched in a
frightful manner and he was totally
exhausted.
A physician dressed and cauterized
his wounds.
The owl is one of the biggest seen
along these mountains in many years,
and Bohlinger will have it stuffed and
mounted.

CAPITAL IN MEAT HUGE.

Says Government Report.

Washington.-A capital of $10,625,.
100000 is directly concerned in the
raising of meat animals and their
slaughtering and packing, according to
a report on meat supply issued by the
department of agriculture.
This ameunt is five ixths as large as
all capital invested in manufacturing
in 1904 Seven-eighths of the meat and
meat products was consumed within
this country The stock of meat ami

not kept pace with the increase in the
population. The report asserts that
the welfare of the raisers of meat AMI.
mails and of the siaughterers and pack
ers is dependent upon finding foreign
markets for the surplus OF the produc-
lion of meat above the home consump-
ton
There was total of 90, 502 900 meat
animals slaughtered and exported In
1900, of which the exported live AMI.
mails numbered 276,OO0.
The dressed weight of the 93,502,000
meat animals constituting the meat
supply of 1900 was 16,549,921, 900
pounds, of which l4,116,Rs6.6aa pounds
entered into domestic consumption,
lard being included with the dressed
weight of pork. q
The report adds: "That meat con-
sumption per capita has declined in.
this country since 1910 is plainly indi-
Gated. There is some ground for be-
lieving that at that time meat consti-
tuted about one-half of the national
dietary in terms of total nutritive

Squirrels Fare and Water Year
Around sylvester's Only Diet.

Boston-George B. Sylvester, Of
Roxbury, eats nuts and nothing else
the year round, doesn't drink tea, COT
fee or stimulants, the only liquid that
Mr.. Sylvester drinks is warm water
that is taken after half of his meal
of nuts is consumed.
Mr. Sylvester is bachelor and
lodges at % Montrose street, Roxbury.
He is 81 years of age, and began to
live on, nuts two and a half years ago,
finding it cheaper way of living, and
enjoys the best of health since he
stopped eating other food
Mr.. Sylvester wanted some nutri-
ment to take the place of meat, which
was harmful to him in hot weather
and didn't seem to agree with him in
winter, so he decided to live on nuts,
finding as much and more nutriment
in them than meat. Peanuts, chest
nuts and all other nuts in their sea-
son are eaten by Mr.. Sylvester. The
only time he breaks his diet is Christ
mas and Thanksgiving.
"Mastication is the most important
thing in living on nuts said Mr.. Syl-
vester to the reporter; "if the nuts
are chewed until no taste remains then
swallowed, they are the healthiest
and best thing for man to live on.
They don't make you good looking
as you can see by me, that's why you
can't have my picture, but for man
81 years old I'm as healthy as can be
found in Boston" Judging from Mr.,
Sylvester's looks his statement is
right.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY
SWAMP LANDS ARE VALUABLE.
II Reclaimed by Country, Would Pay
National Debt Twice Over.

Washington.-It Is estimated that
there are 77,000,00O acres of swamp
lands in the eastern portion of the
United States that can be reclaimed
and made fit for cultivation by the
building of simple engineering struc-
lures. Collected in one body they
would make an empire as large as
England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales
or as large as the New England states
plus New York and half of New Jer-
sey. They would make strip OF land
1873 miles wide reaching from New
York to Chicago. Every state in the
union east of a line drawn through
North Dakota and Texas has a share
of this unreclaimed region.
The present value of this unre-
claimed swamp land is reckoned by
government experts at eight dollars
an acre, or $616, 000,0 900 for the whole
Estimating the cost Of drainage at $1t
an acre, the total cost would be 81,
771,000,000. After drainage is com
pleted the government experts figure
the value of the land would jump al
most Immediately to $50 an acre
making the total value OF the 1900,
900 acres when improved $4,620,000,
900, leaving a net increase in value o
$2,849,00O,000
II the government should take thes'
lands from the persons who own then
at the rate of six dollars an acre, I'm
prove them at cost of SIS an acr
and sell them again for $50 an acr
the profit would pay off the nationa
debt twice over and leave enough t
run the government for year withou
the expenditure of cent OF the rev
enue now coming into the treasur.
This balance would also complete tn
Panama canal and build the ,akes-gu
waterway down the Mississippi II th
usual revenue were used to pay tn
expenses of the government instead.

COLLECTS BUTTONS 40 YEARS:
Aged Man Who Has Gathered 10000
Specimens Dies,

20 T 3 fl .
Reading Cal.-John G. Hepler, super
intendent of Charles Evans cemetery,
died here, aged IS years. While a well
known and highly respected citizen,
his chief claim to fame rested on the
fact that he was one of the best known
button collectors in the world. Hep.
ler's collection numbers $4,000 but
tons, and there are no duplicates. He
began this peculiar fad over 40 years
ago.
The collection starts with the cheap,
humble shirt button, next the trousers
button and so on to the expensive but
tons on women's dresses, and finally,
through long list, to the military but
tons of all the nations Of the world.
MI. Hepler knew the history Of
many of the gems in his collection.
Some were secured through friends
visiting or living abroad, and among
his collection are buttons once worn
by royalty.
The $4,000 buttons are all classified
and Systematically arranged. In de-
sign or color they are all different, and
Mr.. Hepler loved to tell how the diff
iferent ones he priced came into his
possession.

TO TEACH farmers
INSTITUTES TO BE. CONDUCTED
IN MISSOURI TOWNS.
WiIl Be Held in Connection with State
Normale-Two Weeks to Be Pc
voted to Discussions with State
Aiding to Fullest Extent.

Columbia, Mo.-Missouri university
Is trying to bring instruction in agri.
culture direct to the farmers of the
state. With this end in view, the agri.
cultural college has sent its profess
sors on lecture tours over the state,
visiting the various organizations OF
farmers and delivering lectures. The
college this year is working in con,
Junction with the state board OF
agricultural, the Offices Of which are
in the agricultural guiding on the
campus here. With this end in view,
that of greater benefits to the present
farmers, S. M. Jordan, of Stanberry,
has been selected and made the di
rector of farmers Institutes.
The plan heretofore has been to
hold a days or two days session in
some town or schoolhouse, and then
do nothing to follow up after the peo
pie became we'll aroused and en-.
thusiastic.
This year arrangements will be
made to hold a two weeks institute
In conjunction with the various state
normals. The arrangements have not
been definitely concluded at all, but
at the new normal at Maryville the
plans are practically perfected.
The normal towns were selected in
order to insure an audience even il
the farmers fail to show the interest
expected. The students preparing in
the various normals to teach will be
called upon to give instruction in
scientific agriculture more and more
as the study of it spreads through the
public schools of the state. The lee,
ture will be given ia the courthouse
or in the school buildings as may be
thought most practicable in attracting
the men interested in tilling the soil
and the raising of stock.
Five of the leading professors, all
heads of departments in the Missouri
school Of agriculture, will give the
lectures at Maryyille, which is a type
of what others will be. The course
there will begin on December 8. One
man will leave Columbia for that
place and give three lectures day
for two or three days. Then he will
be superseded by another one, who
will lecture on a different field OF
work, This will continue until the
close of the two weeks, when 35 or 40
lectures will have been given.
Mr.. Jordan, the director Of the
work, is an authority on seed corn and
will discuss corn breeding. He viii
show how corn may be SO cared fo,
and cultivated and crossed as to pro
duce a grain of very fine quality as
well as quantity.
