to the G0or. covered him with a
revolver and demanded money and
whisky. Bauer retreated into the
house, saying he would get what was
wanted, and his wife fled by rear
way TO a neighbours, crawling on her
hands and knees Part of the way.
When help came and Bauer ven-
disappeared, and Freda Bauer's bed
room was empty. All her clothes
were hanging on chairs or in the ward
robe, indicating that she had been
carried away in her nightgown.
County officers arrested Jack How
ard, cowboy, whom Bauer said he
saw holding the horse of his caller.
Howard admitted that he went to the
house and says funston was with
him. He told the police that the girl
was taken in her night dress to Laurel,
but refused to say whether she went
willingly, or TO discuss the matter
further
At Laurel trace of the couple is lost.
The authorities are unable to learn
whether they are in hiding with
friends, awaiting an opportunity to es-
cape, or whether the girl is detained
against her will
The father is inclined to the belief
that his daughter was abducted.
Hunston had called several times on
the girl. The family had joked with her
about him, and laughingly asked when
she intended to get married. To these
sallies she replied that she did not
like Hunston and would not marry
him.
The fact that the girl was taken in
her night clothes leads her family to
believe she was taken without her con-
sent, and that the attempted ''holdup"
was a blind to cover the kidnapping of
Mss Bauer.
AS the girl is under age, a marriage
license cannot be issued in this state
without the consent of the parents.

Airship No Joke,

Only a little while ago it was the
fly like a turtle and swim like a
monkey. In the past few months
achievements in aviation and balloon
ing have been chronicled in rapid sue
cession. Count Zeppelin's motor bal
loon for II hours carried IA men
among the hills of Switzerland, and
from aeroplanes. The human inter
est of Count Zeppelin's success lies
in the fact that he has given half his
life and all his fortune to his ex-
periments. Henry Farman won the
Armengaud prize for staying in the air
10 minutes on an aeroplane. Bleriot
remained in the air eight minutes on
an aeroplane, and travelled five miles.
Almost the same day the June Bug,
an aeroplane made at HammondspOrt,
N. Y, by the Aerial Experiment as
ISOLATION, went a mile and described
a complete circle. Before the sum-
mer is done the government will have
tested the machines of the Wright
brothers, Mr.. A. NJ. Herring, and
others. Prof. Langley's experiments,
which in apparent results came to
nothing, may bear fruit after his
death, like the work of many man
at whom the Philistines have scoffed.
For his aerodrome, which has been
locked up in the Smithsonian institu-
ton, has become interesting again to
the war department since the success
of other mechanical birds. Langley
great difficulty was with engines, but
the building Of light, powerful motors
has made much progress since his ex-
periments. All the great governments
are interested in airships, and invent.
ors are being supported as never be-
fore by public and private money and
encouragement.

RICH MAN is PREY FOR ANTS.
Falls III in Road, and Hundreds Pass,
ignoring His Appeal.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Burton X. Jarvis,
a wealthy contractor of Terre Haute,
Ind, died at the county hospital the
other day as the result of lying help
less under a tree near the Cawston
ostrich farm, surrounded by houses
and with people passing frequently,
for nearly three days, while red ants
fed upon his body.
Jarvis was afflicted with tubercu-
losis. which had caused him to come
to California. He had room at
the Cragburn hotel, leaving there to
visit the ostrich farm. When he came
to the spot where he was found he
tainted and remained there for two
days. Because Of the exposure, pneu-
monia attacked his weak lungs, and
though all that could be done for him
when he was taken to the hospital
was done, he could not survive. He
told of trying to attract passers by,
who evidently thought him drunk, as
they paid no attention. Boys bought
him food with money he gave them,
and finally told a woman who lived
near by about him.

Our Big Export Trade.
MICHIGAN.


Analysis of the returns of foreign
trade of the United States during the
last fiscal year reveals some interest
ing features. Among other things
IL is seen that there was a large
increase in exports of manufactured
American goods, a most desirable
tendency, which has been pronounced
for years. Thus sales abroad OF az
ricultural implements were $24 ,30O,-
O00 against $16,000,000 in 1900; car
riages, cars and other vehicles, $22,-
00O, 900, against $9,900,000; chemicals,
drugs. dyes and medicines, $20,S00, 900,
against $12,O00,000; manufacture of
ION and steel, $1S4,O000O, against
22,000,000; leather and manufac-
lures of, $40,7oO,O00, against 27,300,-
000 and so on. The average total
export of manufactures ready for con-
sumption was, for a five-year term,
1929, 100000 for the period ended with
1900 and $4S0,000,000 for that ended
with 1907, and in 1908 was SASS, $780,
000 These figures tell their own
story of increase in nearly every line,
the only item in which there was
little if any gain being the export of
cotton goods. AS this is the great
cotton-producing country of the world,
our failure to get better foothold in
the cotton-goods markets is discom.
fitting. The dispatches abiding to
this showing point out that the sales
abroad are largely the result of
foreign demand that finds here the
most convenient source of supply, and
that they do not represent aggressive
commercial activity" on the part OF
American producers. But, declares
the Troy On. W Times, there is
growing appreciation of the desirable
ity OF foreign markets, especially to
maintain industrial equilibrium at
home, and presently, no doubt, there
will be an arousing to more aggres.
siveness.

The old proverb has it that nothing
succeeds like success In view of what
is happening to Count Zeppelin per-
haps it may become necessary to re-
model the saying so as to make it
read that nothing succeeds like fail
ure. The destruction of the counts
flying machine proved the very best
sort of advertisement, and has re-
suited in the offer of great sums Of
money to enable him to continue his
experiments, while hosts of sympa-
thetic persons have overwhelmed
him with gifts OF all kinds, including
wines, cigars, sweetmeats, groceries,
and even neckties and other articles
OF personal use or adornment. In
fact, there is room for some belief
that the thing is being overdone. The
attention lavished on the count has
aroused the jealousy of rivals, and
some of them are rather pointedly re-
minding the German public that in
the matter of aeronautics there are
others.

fill each pail with water up to the
dent, water both pots thoroughly, and
set them in the pals as shown in the
figure. Set both pals and pots in a
warm, light place so that the corn
will continue to grwo. The next day
remove the pots, and you will prob
ly find that the water is not up to the
dents. What has become of it? From
a previous experiment you will prob
ably conclude that the soil has taken

Make record of the amount neces-
sary to do this. Fill the graduate and

Why? Was there any place for the
water to escape except through the,
soil and the corn? How much wateH'
did the corn use? What became OF
this water? The next exercise will
show what became of part of II.
Take plant that is well started in

wax or tallow so that no moisture can
come up through 1t from below; cover
the plant with the glass and set it in

condense on the inner surface OF the
glass. Where does ii come from? Is
all the moisture absorbed by the roots
given off in this way? How can you
find out? Why do plants need water?

Power of

BY RI. REV. DAVID ii. GREER,
Bishop Episcopal Diocese of New York.

Perhaps from the point of view of journalist
who has apsed into personal neglect of his early train
ing and does not go to church. there is impression
abroad that people do not go as much as they used
to, but the church attendance is just big and uni
versal as it was when-well, when we were boys The
religious spirit is neradcable, permanent an ele-
ment of lives the air breathe, or the ideals
we aspire to, or the love of good that is in All
history SHOWS IT, all modern conclusions show it, the
law of the land stands firmly by it.
The church is just az avaling in its spiritual
power those who do not attend it those
who do. It's subtle influence, minstering in universal
ly complex forms to and women, civilized and
uncivilized, is profound undercurrent of modern
living.
