so fast that a blow from one of
Kline's shuffling feet kicked off his
cap. Soon he climbed more slowly,
and the sailor began to outstrip him.
Weakened by the Jerk of the drill,
the hose had burst in spota. 1t
sagged ominously. Through little
holes the steam spurted out, threat
ening hands and faces. With avert
ed heads they climbed in silence,
toes clattering against the smooth
rock, awed by the deepening empti-
ness beneath, tormented with the
dread that the couplings above
might break.
Now mans muscles may be very
strong for some purposes, and very
weak for others. Kline, the sailor,
accustomed to swaying upon ropes,
was a far better climber than Handy.
Besides, the latter had a hundred
pounds more to lift He began to be
conscious of fearful ache in his
biceps.
AS the hose rubbed and cut into
the soil on the edge of the bluff,
of the imperiled men. Kline got
most of this, but enough struck
Handy's bare crown and face to
cause him serious discomfort. Be-
sides, the sailors shaking of the rope
made it harder for the man below
to climb.
Suddenly steam ceased to pour
from the hose. 1t had evidently
been shut off by the engineer, warned
by the crash and his dropping gage
that something was wrong. There
were footsteps above, and a shout:
Hello, down there!"
Neither man replied; they were
too busy. Then over the edge peered
the engineers Mortified face. 1t dis
appeared quickly; and a shouting
and running told that he was gone
to bring help.
Kline had now almost reached the
top. He heard his mate painting, and
looking down, saw him several feet
below.
Can you make it, Dam" he
asked
Groaned Handy. II don't know"
Hold tight; I'll help you as soon
as get up!" cried the other, en-
couragingly. A few seconds more.
and a final shaking of the hose and
shout of triumph. The earth
showered over the drili-runner.
"Ill get ropel" exclaimed the
sailor, and disappeared.
Hapdy climbed doggedly. 1t
means work to support two hundred
and forty pounds with one hand,
while you raise the other for a fresh
hold. Each time he reached a
shorter distance. Gradually his pro-
gress became series of mere
bitches. Each time he felt that he
could not make another. And the
top was still fifteen feet Off
Inch by inch he rose. The roar OF
the crusher was suddenly cut off.
Voices from below came to him.
He knew that men were watching his
fight for life. His senses were never
keener. Every little sound was
magnifled. The puffiing vof a tug
reached his ears, He heard the cry
of a bird His eyes stared at the
rock before him: he could trace
every little vein, every discoloration.
He had not realized 1t could be
80 fearfElly hot. The sun beat on
his shoulder-blades. An intense
thirst tormented him. His mouth
ans throat were parched. Although
Kline was gone, the earth still fell
upon him from above.
Insects hammed round, rejoicing

his head had been too much for MIN;
he was losing consciousness. Kline
saw the danger.
Hoist away, quick!" shouted he
to the men behind him. Up came
the line. Just as Handy lost con-
seriousness and lurched backward,
the sailor caught him by the wrists.

Shade For Hogs. .

II hogs are to thrive in pasture
shade must be provided. Some far
mers cut away every vistage OF shade.
The hog loves a cool, damp shade
where he can lie and snooze during
the heat of the day. II left in a
pasture with no shade he will suffer.
Experience OF prominent breeders
shows, however, that mud wallow
Is by no means necessary. II the
hog cannot have clean bath, no bath
Is preferable. but Sus is a child of

Pan Gernlinator.

time or when many varieties are to
be tested, instead OF duplicating the
plate germinators already described
the writer found the following ger
minator, suggested by DR.. Volney
Spaulding, formerly of the Univer-
sity of Michigan, to be superior A
deep granite bread pan six or eight
inches wide was obtained in which
was kept about one-fourth inch of
water. Cotton flannel strips of any
convenient length, two or three yards,
and of the width of the pan, were
tucked crosswise at intervals of five
inches. Short galvanized wires
about an inch longer than the width
of the pan were inserted through
these tucks and gathered together,
thus forming the cotton strips into
numerous folds or loops which were
suspended in the pan above the water
by means of the supporting wires
The ends of the strips being left
sufficiently long to touch the water
in the pan, the entire piece of cloth
composing the loops in which the
seeds are placed. is kept uniformly
moist.
The cloth should be moistened be-
fore beginning the experiment and,
1t is needless to add, steriized.
A definite number of seeds taken
as they come from an average sample
are counted out for each germination.
For seeds in rather small lots, as
garden seeds, fifty to hundred will
answer, while for the cereals, grasses,
clover and others used in extern
sive cultural operations about 200
should be used and the tests dupli-
Gated when any doubt exists about
the results. The tests should be ex-
amined from day to day and the
sprouted ones removed and couLted,
the number being recorded on
sheet of paper
The length of time required for
termination is dependent upon sew
eral factors, chief Of which are mois-
ture. temperature. vitality and varl-
etal differences, six to ten days being
sufficient for most kinds. When tests
are made during the winter or early
spring months, at which time It is
usually most convenient, the germi-
nation should be conducted in a mod
erately warm room so that the tenn
perature will not fall below fifty de-
grees F. at night and remain between
seventy and eighty degrees F.. dur
ing the day. In the case of alfalfa
and certain other of the clover fam
fly small percentage of the seeds
will remain apparently sound at the
close of the termination test. Allow
ance is usually made for these, one
third being counted as viable- l. e.,
capable OF growth. Caulihower, cab
bage, turnip and beet seeds OF poor
stock. e., run out--are just as
viable as those of good stock. The
only means OF remedying this defect
is to use selected home grown seeds
or to buy the best stock of reliable
seed houses y. j. Thornber, in. New

ly as his fingers became sore from
digging When the grave was deep
enough, the youth went after the
body of the grouse and took it up
very tenderly, as if so much Of suf-
fering had given it sacredness. He
laid the poor thing carefully in the
ground, smoothing its every feather.
Then he resolutely scooped in the
dirt till the grave was filled.
"It was 4 thoughtful youth who
walked slowly homeward across the
fields that autumn day. He was ask
ing himself what right he had to in
flict such suffering as that. What
manner Of friend to the birds was
he that could wish only to kill them
What pleasure could he get in future
in shooting always with the possibil-
ity of re-enacting the tragedy of the
cornfield?
"Long before he reached home the
youth had made up his mind. He
knew that he should never shoot his
gun again. He had entered a new
phase of life. The desire to kill was
no longer strong in him. The instinct
of the hunter had left him forever. -

COPS WIN ANOTHER.
Jack Ronch's Yannigans Try Conclu-
 sions With Reg1Ilars-Beaten.

To the keen disappointment of about two hundred fans the Regulars of the New Haven police department defeated the Yannigans of the New Haven po- lice department, to 1, at Weideman's grounds yesterday afternoon. The fans expected to see the Yannigans come out of the affray on top but the Regulars looked the part of winners from the start to the finish of the sixth inning That is all the innings could be played as men on both teams had to get back on the job and the game was called. Several times the Yannigans threaten ed to get In the run column, but they were grievously disappointed, the best they could do being to register one sol- itary tally
 Jack Roach sent in Phil Riley to start the game, but the latter was a little liberal with his free tickets and was pulled out at the end of the second in ming, when Gilmore tried his luck Trainer pitched his usual good game and was effective with men on bases. This makes the seventh game the Reg ulars have played, only one being a losing battle. Wednesday afternoon at 9 o'clock the Commercials will try and put a stop to the cops winning streak at Weideman's grounds.

 Such treatment of an "old fellow might be the means of a considerable loss, in the way of donation to the athletic interests, or to the university, by cooling the enthusiasm of some other "old fellow" with barrel of money. It seems to be that the en- thusiasm of the "old fellows" should be kept warm instead of chilled Aside from all else, 1t Is good busi- ness.
