lunatic at LARGE.

Clinton, Iowa, Nov. 24.-For weeks
an escaped lunatic has terrorized the
people Of Fulton, a town across the
Mississippi river. The man, whose
name is Ernest Kennedy, escaped
from the insane asylum at Watertown,
and returning to the vicinity of his
home, fingers about.
His clothing has been nearly torn
from his body, and his friends fear he
will be frozen to death. Several times
he was seen and pursued, but north
of Fulton is a thick wood with q
heavy underground of briars.

Sorghum is cane-like grass. with
the stature and habit Of broom corn,
or of the table varieties of Indian corn,
but more slender than the latter, with.
out ears and of a glaucous hue. Sor-
ghum is cultivated throughout Africa
chiefly for the sweet juices Of the
cane. In the United States it has
been employed for many years to
make strip, for which purpose It is
more or less grown in every state. It
has also been the subject of much e.
pertinent in sugar-making.

It has already been mentioned In
these columns that the Norwegians
wll not be invited to the Scandinavian
games In Sweden next year. The
Swedish committee on invitations has
explained it's course by publishing GER
tain facts. It is an old rule that
Swedish officers shall not compete
with Norwegian officers in the Morse
races. In the winter of 1905 the Nor
wegians declined the invitation to go
to the games in Sweden because the
people of Norway were so depressed
on account of the union conflict. At
the present time, says the committee,
a similar feeling prevails in Sweden on
account of the way the Norwegians
broke out of the union.
DENMARK.
A wireless telegraph station has
been opened at the naval station in
Copenhagen for communicating with
ships in the surrounding waters.
The wheat fields of Denmark yield
about AZ bushels to the acre. To show
more plainly what this means it must
be mentioned that the average for the
whole world is 1917, and for the
United States IL bushels per acre.
So many persons are out of work
in Copenhagen that the situation is
becoming really serious. A mass
meeting was held for the discussion
of the problem, and a resolution was
passed in favor of having the state
and the city start public works. Even
direct aid from the nation and the city
was demanded. A large number of
people are already suffering. The
authorities and the employers have
commenced to grapple with the diff
ficulty.
Copenhagen, Denmark, Nov. H.
The Danish arctic explorer Einar
Mikkelsen, is about to leave on an ex-
ploring expedition into New Guinea,
the cost being betrayed by a Dutch
syndicate of an industrial nature. Mix
kelsen had hoped to make another
arctic journey next year and tried hard
to raise funds both here and In other
countries, but failed on account of the
hard times everywhere in Europe.
For the time being he has given up his
arctic plans.

Aside from this wholly pleasant and

electoral college at Washington.
Naturally all of the electors are very
anxious to make the trip, but the gov
eminent permits only one to go, pay.
ing the expenses Of the trip at the
rate of 25 cents mile. The bearer of
the vote probably will be selected by
placing II slips of paper in a hat, each
slip bearing the name of one of the
electors, and the lucky man will be
picked by means of drawing.
Stewart Gamble of Gamble & Lud-
wig, druggists, Hennepin avenue and

electors from this city, all the others,
with the exception of John J. Ecklund

A peIi Ridden Town.

A well-known tourist of the world
has stated as his opinion that Lucerne
is the most bell-ridden town in Europe.
He had assuredly ' been to
Schwyz. To begin with, the countless
cattle that pass through the streets in
the small hours Of the morning on
their way to or from the upland pas
lures wear bells as big as buckets.
And there are church bells, too. A fine
peal they are, no doubt, but the noble
art Of bellringing either never existed
or has been lost here. The bells are
rung by being smitten or banged to
gether by two small boys, whose legs
are plainly visible-an alluring mark
for an airgun-through the open
louvres of the church tower, the sounds
produced being about as edifying as
the music of q donkey engine in full
play. The performance begins at 80
a. m. and continues until early service
at 5, and if there is a funeral-which
is every other day or so-there will be
another sustained burst of melody from
6 to Z. During the remainder Of the
day the ringing is varied and persist
ent, but it lacks the irritating power
Of the early morning exercises. Sooner
or later public opinion will be aroused.
Those boys will be dragged from their
perch, figuratiyely, if not literally, and
peace and quiet will reign in the epony-
nous capital Of the confederacy.-

four sites. In fact, l Oily know Of one

reason for this is, however, apparent,
for owing to its situation it has never

cavern on the face of an absolute wall
of limestone rock some 500 feet high,
at about 400 feet from the summit.

at an angle of forty-five degrees or so.
above which again rise other p~recipices.

Handling Bnrnynrd Manure.

Winter is the best time to haul barn
yard manure out OH the field, and If
the ground is frozen it is all the better.
At one time it was thought to put the
manure In small piles on the fields. to
prevent teaching, but more recent ex-
periments have proved that
spread out on the surface right from
the wagon loses very little of its vir-
tue. The conditions are such. 1t seems.
that when the manure is spread out on
the surface the valuable ingredients
are not soluble. and therefore can not
be washed away by the rains.
There are more or less favorable
conditions for the teaching away Of
fertility when manure IS placed in
heaps. for the reason that while kept
in a body in this way some of the fer
tilizing ingredients become soluble and
are washed away during heavy fresh
cts. Aside from this. manure placed in
piles is apt to make a crop spotted.
