profanity. He only groaned He could
hear the babys crows and Miss Aud

earth, when hadn't the baby crowed
and Audrey crooned!
Richards hotel was mile away
from this pleasant summer place OF
the Baby, and on the way down this
afternoon there had been plenty of
time for him TO face the despcrateness
of his situation The items stood out

young aunt's extraction from Baby,

white hands of that slender slip of n

them prisoners there while he said

seas over without that chance? And
that only wisp of baby should
stand in the way 1t was maddening.
He strobe on till he came into the
Immediate radius of crows and croons.
He had murder in his heart.

Market Letter.

Kansas City Stock Yards,
Cattle prices advanced slightly
last week, but not as much
strength was shown as was hoped
for, in view of the moderate
receipts, $4,000 for the week.
Reports from Chicago indicate
the continued unpopularity of
heavy steers there, and this class
made the smallest gain here last
week, closing strong to 10 higher
for the week, while other killing
cattle advanced 10 to Is cents.
Light steers are selling good, as
the high price of cows and heifers
induces buyers to take the lighter
weight steers when the net cost
is not much different. The low
price of pork is the main bearish
feature in the cattle market now,
although the opproach of Lent is
also having a hidden influence
against much advance. 80 The
supply today is 10000 head, and
as all the markets are lightly
supplied, prices are stronger,
steers 10 higher in many cases,
butcher stuff and stockers and
, feeders a shade stronger. Top
here today on steers is SIS. SIS, al
though $500 was paid on three
days last week, and fancy steers
would easily reach $3.50. Bulk

the second nstallment Of the
Lockhart steers, as compared
with S5.25 for the first shipment

bulls S3.25 to $3.50, calves S4 to
So. so, stockers So. 40 to $500,
feeders $4.25 to $500. February
cattle receipts exhibit a shortage
of 10 per cent from same month
last year, but total receipts of all
kinds of live stock received here
were heaviest on record for any

An APPARATUS for Resuscitation

An apparatus for producing ar
tificial respiration h n 8 recently
been devised, whereby, in cases of
suspended animation, the action of
the heart and lungs can be renew
ed.
The inventor of the apparatus
does not insist that with its use
life can be brought back, but
claims, according to the Scientific
American, that by artificial means
applied through the instrumental,
ity of the respirator persons killed
by asphyxiation, poison or drown
ing can be resuscitated; that the
death of persons under the inhu-
ence of anesthetics while being
operated upon can be prevented; ;
that its use will prevent infant as
phyXia at birth; that n drunken
person can be sobered in a few
minutes; that persons electrocuted
hanged-in the latter case where
the neck has not been broken-can
be revived, and that the freezing
to death of Arctic explorers can
be obyiated. These results are
accomplished by stimulating nor
NAL respiration through artificial
means.
A demonstration was made on a
rabbit. 1.-Two grains of morphine
were injected into the leg, after
which four ounces of ether were
administered. 1t was believed by
the experimenters that life was
positively extinct, as the applica-
tion of every known test failed to
reveal any sign of life. In this
condition the tubes of the appara-
tus were applied to the rabbit s
nostrils, and on pumping oxygen
into the lungs with simultaneous
movement of the valves, within
three minutes the rabbit, but late.
ly pronounced dead, was breath
ing naturally, and within six
minutes it was running arounC
the room. The ether was entirely
out of the system, as there was NJ
ind dication of nausea.

MAKES A PUBLIC REPORT

other places in California. However.
an extensive investigation of condi-
tions In California show that in few
places it is necessary to heat the or
chards and therefore smudging (or
the creation of smoke) to prevent
damage from frost alone is much more
generally done, but where the orchard
heating has been practiced it is highly
recommended.
This orchard heating has also been
practiced a good deal for number Of
years in both Washington and Oregon
and there are places on the Pacific
slope in the mountain valleys where
they get freezes where It would b
impossible to raise fruit unless they
did this orchard heating.
To come nearer home still, 1t was
tried this spring in Grand Junction,
Colorado, by several growers there
and those who tried 1t (after such .
plan as we now recommend) were
successful in saving their crop Of fruit
where they heated. Mr.. Hamilton has
perhaps come more prominently be-
fore the public in this Connection than
any other person and he Is a very
strong advocate of heating and in Q
recent letter to us states that he b.
lieves 1t an unqualified success. He

each acre of ground and has today .
