THE BARONESS Won HUTTEN.
She Is One OF the Popular NOveIists
of the Day.

The Baroness Won Hutten. author Of
various more or less popular novels, has
enjoyed a life Of more than usual variety.
She was Bessie Riddle. a niece Of Mrs.
Thomas A. Scott. OF Philadelphia She
went abroad III her teens TO study music
and singing in Italy Il was in Florence
that she met the faiT-haiTed athletic
young Bavariaa baron, q descendant Of
Ulrich Won Hutten who wooed her In
French, because he knew little English
ard his future bride less German. In her
husbands ancestral home, the romantic
old Castle of Steinbach, with It's gray
stone turrets, Baroness Won Hutten writes
her novels. Here, when she has once
started on theme, she works hard every
day for hours az q stretch in 4 white
heat Of creative enthusiasm. No one may
disturb her till her allotted task Is finish
ed, not even her small boy and girl,
who speak three languages. Besides her
literary talent, the Baroness Won Hutten
has other accomplishments. She is a
brilliant conversatiOnalist and tells stories
nearly as we'll as she writes them. Her
fine voice has been well trained and she
sings and plays charmingly.

A KANSAS VIEW OF IT.

From the Atchison Globe.
Nine out Of ten men who enter a hotel

that the dining-rOom girls will follow
them anywhere. and that the sweet things
they say are entirely original and cum

that they all talk the same drivel, and
that the Mattresses are always disgusted
There is some excuse for the young men.
but when the old married men come in
and go through the same programme the
girls experience such disgust that they

LIGHT AND PLANT LIFE.
The Results Of FIammarion's Ex-
perimentS.

peFimentS.
Camille Flammarion, the eminent scien-
tist. published a few days ago the results
of the remarkable experiments that he
has been conducting for the last two
years 10 discover the effect Of various
lights on the growth of vegetation He
has a number OF plants which he sub
iected 10 REQ. green, blue. and white
light-the conditions otherwise being SIM
nar-and the results were most astonish-
ing.
Under the effects Of red light certain
vegetables. such as lettuce, grew fifteen
times as fast as under blue light. On the
other hand, blue light has remarkable
preservatiye powers. An yak tree planted
two years ago has kept its first leaves,
which are now as fresh and vigorous as
when they first appeared. In the same
way ripe fruit can be kept fresh under a
blue screen for twenty days without de-
cay The strawberry plant can be re-
tarded for a similar period and then al
lowed 10 fructify. The experiments are
expected to have wide application to
market gardening.

There has recently been established a
students loan fund. the purpose of which
is to lend money TO needy students, who
would otherwise be unable tc complete
their college course.

The ways and means are as various as
the girls using them, and each girl finds
her own way. according as she has great

successful Or not depends on her own
zeal and ability, That the opportunities
are there is proved by the girls who are
making use OF them.

.SEBREE'S FLEET
At SAN DIEGO
WAR SHIPS row TORPEDO BOATS,
ALTHOUGH THE LINES BROKE
FREQUENTLY.

SAN DIEGO, July 3.-Rear- Admiral
Sebree's division of the Pacific fleet,
consisting of the armored cruisers Ten
nessee, Washington and California and
the destroyers Perry, Prebe and Far
ragut, arrived off the mouth of the
harbor at o'clock this evening. The
torpedo boats were being towed by the
cruisers Off Point Iona the tow lines
were cast off. The torpedo boats en-
tered the harbor, and the cruisers pro-
ceeded to the anchorage off Coronado.
The cruisers towed the torpedo craft
the entire trip down the coast AL
though the sea was comparatively
smooth all the time, considerable trou-
bic was experienced with the tow line.
The Preble's tow line broke four times,
two of the breaks occurring in rapid
succession, the first day out, and two
occurred the next day To remedy the
trouble a four-inch wire cable was
fastened to each end of the tow line,
taking the place of the big hawser
chain that had previously broken.
The Farragut and Perry also parted
their tow lines, each three times. AL
though the destroyers were towed the
entire distance, they had steam up all
the while, so as to be ready in case of
an emergency.
