Capitol Grafters In Court.
The five officials indicted for COM

new capitol of Pennsylvania were
brought into court for trial last week.
Attorneys for Joseph NJ. Huston. the

apart from the other four men. This
was granted and was taken as an in
dication that Huston would testify for
the state. The indictments arose from
the fact that when the capitol building
at Harrisburg had been erected at an
expense of $3.O15.96S.52 the board of
public grounds and buildings permit
ted the architect and other officials to
expend $7.0OO.0OO in furnishing the

Seed Selection and Improved Handling

Seed Selection and Improved Handling
Of Plants.
BY W. H. scTIERFFIUs. tobacco expert,

The importance Of good seed III every
crop has been demonstrated so often
that every farmer should know that 1t
pays him we'll to plant only the best.
Tobacco is no exception to this rule.
Light. chaffy seeds hat are low in VI
tality give us plants that are weaklings
with slow growth. Various schemes
for separating the light from the heavy
tobacco seed have been suggested, but
the most thoroughly practical method
is by means of a piece of apparatus in
troduced by the bureau of plant in
dustry and a current of air which is
generated with the foot bellows. as
shown in the cut. The air passes
through the rubber tube, then through
the valve, which can be regulated to
admit of the passage Of the desired
amount of air to accomplish the best
separation. The air passes up through
a piece Of half inch iron tube, thence
through a larger glass tube and out at
the top. carrying with it the light.
chaffy seed. At the base of the glass
tube, which is about an inch in diam
eter and five or six feet long, is a me-
tallic joint which has a piece of fine
wire gauze in it to prevent the seed
from falling into the valve below.
Using about an ounce of seed for each
charge. only a few minutes are re-
quired to separate a considerable
quantity.
This piece of apparatus can be made
by most any mechanic, or 1t can be
purchased from any chemical supply
house. Every community should W
one of these machines for the benefit
Of it's farmers.
Improved methods of handling the
crop is a topic of such magnitude that
we deem it e%xpedient at this writing
not to go into detailed discussion of
this phase of the subject.

eingularly Adapted to its Life Of
Aerial, Piracy.
No one could fail to be struck with
the slngularly perfect adaptation of the
dragon fy's structure to a life Of aerial
piracy. The four wings are large and
in proportion to their weight enormous
~ strong. Each is supported by a O
derfully arranged network of slender
ribs, which give the necessary rigidity
to the thin. transparent membrane
forming it's basis. The muscles by
which the wings are moved are mass
i've and powerful and are so arranged
among themselves that the animal is
capable Of steering its course with al
unerring accuracy which any bird
might envy. In this power it is largely
aided by Il marvellous keenness OF
sight, for in addition to the two great,
%gorgeously colored compound eyes
which make up so much Of the head
the insect possesses three smaller ''sim.
pie" eyes, making five eyes in all. The
prey when overtaken is seized and de-
voured by means of powerful. sharply
toothed jaws.
An animal which lives such an &C.
tive life naturally requires a very per.
feet breathing apparatus, and this is
amply provided by a system Of holes
on the sides of the body which open
