1t was a tremendous load off of Muir,
rays mind. The court denied the
change of venue, sought on the unjust
allegation that Commissioner Spencer
was a friend of Canada officers.
Then began the battle for extradi-
ton, which was destined to be fought
to a finish. HERES was committed for
%extradition and his cousin in White
Cloud Joined forces with Col. Kerr
and Mr.. Ryan. His counsel applied
for a writ of habeas corpus before
Judge Nelson. 1t seemed that when
Judge Nelson's father was judge of
the supreme court a man named Kane
had killed some one in ireland and
escaped to Minnesota. The British
government sought to extradite him
and the case was carried to the su.
preme court, which held that it was
necessary to have the president issue
an executive mandate to give the
commissioner power to try the case

was irregular, and Judge Nelson dis.
charged HERES. Murray's counsel ap,

before Judge Brewer, later of the ST
preme court of the United States.
Judge Brewer wrote a long opinion
reversing Judge Nelson's judgment
and ordering the prisoner back into
Murray's custody. The case is an au.
thority in extradition cases, and is
recorded in Federal Reports of the
United States, number 33, page 265.

with "Chet-black" HERES, and handed
him over to the authorities Of Berlin,

HERES pleaded not guilty to forgery

He had bleached his "chet-black"

it a nasty tinge of yellow. An action
he started against the sheriff In St.

Llftlnu power d PIantaIn Leaf,

The power of the ordinary p~lantain
leaf is well illustrated in an article in
the Strand Magazine by a writer who
constructed a pitch floor as follows:
The ground was scraped, and then a
three-inch layer Of sand was spread
over 1t, and on this sand a two-inch
layer Of soft roofing pitch was
placed. This had been down for sew
eral weeks when we noticed one part
Of the pitch breaking open like a
miniature volcano. On examination
we found some green shoots coming
through the pitch. The shoots contin-
ued to grow in spite of the great heat
caused by the sun shining on the
black surface of the pitch. They finally
assumed a fiourishing condition. It
should be added that before laying the
sand a sheet of heavy tar paper Gov

House Plants Killed BY

A Montgomery County woman,
whose house plants were badly dam
aged, and some Of them killed, by
insects, such as q palm and hello

him specimens of the pests that had
caused the destruction. As other
women may have plants similarly
attacked, they will be interested In
the answer given, which is as fol.
lows:
"This proves to be the larvae of q
little fiv, such as you describe as Sec
ing on the ground around the plants.
These are found TO belong to the
chronological genus Sciara, aud feed
on the vegetation in the soil, as well
as upon the roots, especially wherein
decay has started. They thus pro

able injury as you have observed.
''The best way 10 prevent this
trouble IS to sprinkle tobacco dust
abundantly over the surface Of the
soil around the plants. The flea will
not remain long In a place 50 treated,
and, will no longer deposit eggs there,
ANY larvae that may remain in tie
soil unkilled will undergo regular
development, and after they emerge
there will be no more Infestation Of
your soil. You can, of course, mAks
q decoction Of tobacco and water and
soak the soil with it and thus de
stroy the larvae themselves at once,
tut the tobacco dust will keep the
tlies from laying their eggs.p
