lister TO Rumania. who is soon to start

in the interest of good living.
When Mr. Knowles found the mel

been cultivated with success at the
government experiment stations in
those regions where huge American
melons are grown.
Having gained this desirable deli
cacy from Rumania, Mr.. Knowles was
anxious TO repay the gift. He noticed
that the people were utter strangers
to sweet corn. Accordingly he OBJ

Eurone Is DrYinn un.

That much of Europe will become
an arid desert in a few centuries I'M
less steps are taken to prevent it,
was the prophecy made year or
two ago by distinguished French
scientific man. 1t is well known in a
vague way that some parts of the
earth are drier that formerly, but OBJ
servations are lacking to show wheth-
er this has been result Of merely
local conditions or is a locally ad-
vanced stage of process going on
over a wide area. Herr Walser, a
German, has been lately trying to get
a more accurate idea of the desicca-
ton from the records Of bodies Of
water. He finds that hundreds Of
European lakes have entirely disap-
peared and in the canton of Zurich
alone the 149 lakes of 1860 have be-
come reduced to 49, while about half
OF these have been diminished in size.
German and Russian lakes also, as
well as those of western Asia, give
evidences of a drying up of the land.

BRINGS SUIT FOR ASSAULT

Magee was before the municipal
court short time ago charged with
breach of the peace for committing
the assault and was fined $50 and
costs. He was sent to newfoundland

HERMIT HAD $1,000.
Settling of Estate Of Fred Hartman
of Barre.

Montpelier, Nov. 13.-The estate
of the late Fred Hartman, an ecen-
trio character who lost his life some
months ago when his home in Barre
was burned, has been settled in
Washington County Probate Court,
and the final accountings of the adj
ministrator, Frank ]. Martin show
that there is between $4,000 and So
600 to be divided between the two
children, Mrs. Fred l.. Page, of this
city. and Carolus d. Hartman OF
New York City Mr.. Martin was APP
pointed administrator of the estate
before his appointment as probate
judge of this district, and he was
continued in the position of admins
traitor because he had gone deeply
into the search for bringing up Mr.
Harriman's property, and it would
have taken another appointee long
time to get the run of things.
The task of finding out how much
Mr. Hartman was worth was an ex-
tremely difficult one, and it is even
thought that considerable property in
notes was wiped out of existence
when the aged man lost his life in
the burning of his home on the East
Barre road last year. 1t was Mr..
Harriman's practice, so his friends
state, to carry valuable papers about
with him, and probably he had some
on his person when his body was
burned beyond recognition. Most of
the estate, as found. was in personal
property.
Many claims were presented
against the estate as was expected;
but only two of them were allowed in
the settlement. One man put in a
claim for keeping up Mr. Harriman's
fences for a period OF 81 years 1t
was not allowed There were others
of like tenor, which were not allow
ed. Mr.. Hartman was not accus-
toned to take people into his bust
ness confidence; but he found in
Smith Martin, of Plainfeld, the man
he wanted to assist him, and he turn
ed over most of his business tran
sactions to Mr. Martin, who was vir-
tually guardian for him.
The dealings Of the court were
mostly with Mr. Martin and he turn
ed over the property which now con-
stitutes the estate OF the man, whose
wealth was a matter of general spec
ulauon among the people of this
city, where his eccentricities were so
well known. There was no will.

LOYAL TO HIS DREDGE
A Panama Canal Foreman, Badly
Hurt, Made Happy by Its
Splendid Record.

An army officer who had been In
Panama recently tells this story:
Laurent Roquebert had been general
foreman of dredging at the Pacific en-
trance to the canal for 20 years. He
had gone to the isthmus under the old
French company and had remained on
the Job ever since. A short time ago
he was badly crushed in one OF the
dredges and lay in a critical condition
in the Ancon hospital. One of the
engineers went to see him.
How many yards?" said the in
jured man feebly, referring to the
dredging record for the month. When
told that they had taken out more
cubic yards than in any previous
month he smiled and whispered:
And the Gopher, what did she do?"
The Gopher, like the dredgemaster,
was handed down to the Americans
by the French. This old dredge of the
Scotch ladder type had been at work
at the Pacific entrance almost con-
tinuously for % years. The French
man for years was master of this
dredge and he gloried in the fact that
1t was the best on the job. A few
months before he met with the accf
dent, however, dredge No of the
Colon fleet had surpassed the old
French relics record. That panied
Roquebert and he had watched devel-
opments anxiously month by month.
1.-THE Gopher? Why, she holds the
record by more than 5000 yards"
was the visiting engineers reply to
the question.
The dredgemaster closed his eyes,
smiled and said: I'm very happy"

The skirt Tree.

Before the advance of civilization
trees proved the principal article OF
clothing" for inhabitants of tropical
regions. One of the best examples OF
these trees is the Sack tree" (Anti
arts innoxia) of Ceylon. To obtain
the bark OF this the tree is felled
and cut into sections; these are sub
merged in still water for several
weeks for the purpose of rotting the
bark, the latter being washed and
pounded so as to separate the paren
chymatous tissues from the closely IN
terwoven layers of fibers. The bark
) afterward dried and bleached, when
t is ready for use in fashion ac-
cording to the fancy of the wearer
The sections of the bark may be cut
so as to adapt 1t for either ready
made skirt, kilt or shirt.
