Panama Batteries,

kanama Batteries.
Tentative plans have been prepar-
ed by the general stan of the army
for the fertilization Of the Panama
canal. They contemplate the install
lation OF main battery of 12-inch
disappearing guns on all the forth
fications, and the possible use of
16-inch guns at points Of vantage.
Sixty great guns will be mounted.
with the main strength guarding
the Pacific entrance to the canal.
The PacifA Notifications are said
to include heavy batteries on the
four small islands lying OF the
mouth OF the canal. These are Guile
bra, Macs. Framenco and Tabago.
As an additional protection to the
Pacific entrance. strong batteries
will be installed at Ancon and San
Juan. or each side of the canal.
Batteries will be installed at Pc
hro Miguel. six miles inland. for
the protection OF the locks at that
point. other important points along
the line OF the canal and mt the
Atlantic entrance will be similarly
fortified. II is calculated that 1t
will require at least $500 artillery
men to man the proposed fortifica-
tions.
The tentative plans involve an
expenditure OF about 100000 for
the Pacific portion of the canal and
32,5O0.000 for the Atlantic portion.
This disparity is attributed to the
greater vulnerability OF the Pacific
side and the easier protection Of
the Atlantic entrance. The total esti-
mates for the Notifications and
auxiiiaries are said to amount to
about $1,000 900.

Floral Notes.

Cover the plants while sweeping
to protect them from the dust.
All bulbs coming in flower should
have a great deal of water.
Bring your hyacinths from the Gel,
lar when you wish them to bloom.
DO not water house plants too often,
once or twice a week is enough for
most kinds.
More plants are ruined by too much
water and too poor light than in any
other way
Cultivate as many plants as you
have room for and you will discov.

The White Death.

One of the most curious of the nat

mountains is the mysterious storm
known to the Indians as "the white
DEATH"
Not many years ago party of three
women and two men were crossing a
part Of Colorado in a wagon during
the month of February. 1t was a de-
lightful morning, very frosty, but with
as clear as crystal.
Suddenly one of the women put her
hand to her face and said that she had
been Stung: then other members Of
the party did the same thing, but no
insect could possibly live in that tenn
perature.
A moment later they noticed that
the distant mountains were disappear
ing behind a cloud of mist, a most un-
usual thing for that time of year. They
drove on and in & few minutes a gem
tie wind began to blow and the air
became filled with fine particles Of
something that scintillated like dia-
mond dust in the sunshine.
Still they drove on until they came
to a cabin. where a man signalled
them to stop. With his head all muf-
fed up he rushed out and handed the
driver a piece of paper on which was
written:
Come into the house quickly or the
storm will kill all of you. Don't talk
outside here"
No time was lost in getting inside
and putting the horses under cover,
but in less than an hour the whole
party was seized with violent coughs
and fever, and before the next morn
ing one of the women had died with
all the symptoms Of pneumonia. The
others managed to pull through after
long illnesses.
Scientists call this phenomena froz.

at present been traced.

How to Mend Garden Hose,

AS the garden hose gets little old,
and begins to swell. it soon gets out
of commission altogether if not at

A simple way to mend it is to wrap
the hose with ordinary twine, which
will make it last few more seasons.
AS it IS no easy matter to wind this
cord by hand and get it even and un-
der uniform tension. the writer has for
many years used the simple contriv-

with a lid, into which is put the ball

let it run down the side of the can
through a tension device and to the
hose. To the cover of the can is SOL
dered a small piece of tin, bent to a
ringle angle and forming a guide for
the hose. The tension device consists
of short piece of metal. with its

TALK TO FRUIT GROWERS.

on Orcharding.

}. n. Hale Gives Some Sound Views
on Orchardino.
]. II. Hale, the veteran orchardist,
In talk to fruit growers, said:
Give the orchard the best soil you
have. rolling land preferred. Prepare
this land thoroughly and continue
thorough tillage. Get good trees.
Plan ahead and transplant trees two
or three times before setting in per-
manent place. or pay nurserymen for
doing it, Head your trees low. Manu-
facture them to suit your idea. Get
them down where you can handle
them easily and cheaply, Prune an
nually and spray often and thorough
ly Thin apples. Good trees over
bear This is the most paying opera
ticn ot all Pick two to four times to
set all of crop at proper stages of
ripcncss We don't pick the whole
OF any other fruit crop at once; why
apples?
Don't niaut dwarls, but rather
dwarf your standard trees by summer
ana root pruning if they are over
vigorous. Throw such trees into bear
irg by plowing deep and subsoiling.
Cultivate early and thoroughly until
middle Of July. then seed to cover
crop and let alone.
Mr. Hale has used commercial fer.
tilizcrs supplemented by cover crops
for forty years. and thinks them equal
to barnyard manure. He has Sc.
cured results in color and quantity
with potash, and he says use care in
harvesting. If possible put apples in
cold storage every night. Communi-
ties should unite and build storage
plants.

The Royal Box.

The cZar of Russia dislikes sport but
is very fond of rowing.
When King Edward travels on the
continent he occupies his own cars.
Except when in actual use the kings
railway carriages are stored in Brus-
sells and sent to Cherbourg, Calais or
Flushing, according to the royal des-
tinatioE.
Princess Elizabeth Of Bavaria, who
married Lieutenant Baron Sicgfrieu
auf Buttenhcim in 1893 in opposition

Gisela of Austria, has been forgiven

the Bavarian court, after sixteen

SECRET sERvIcEsEcRETlvENEss
No One Ever Heard Of Detective
Being Killed.

Funny thing, but can you remem-
ber ever having heard or read of
Secret Service operator having been
murdered?" 1t was an OLD New York
detective speaking. "Of course you
haven't, and yet they are in line Of
work in which men are killed now and
then, in spite of the fine way in which
all the Secret Service men stand
by each other. The fact is that
the Secret Service keeps the
murder of one of it's agents
just as secret as some important mat
ter of State it has discovered. The
Secret Service man when he joins
knows that If he dies in the discharge
of his duty he simply disappears and
becomes as one who never lived. His
relatives never know.
They are told he has gone on
some far distant mission, in which he
finally disappears and they begin to
receive his pension. Yet while the
murderer OF Secret Service man is
never arrested OF punished for the
crime. never even accused, he is pun
lSECu just tne same.
81 remember the case of Secret
Service man who was stabbed to death
after midnight by an infuriated Italian
counterfeiter in Mulberry street, not
half mile from Police Headquarters.
a Secret Service man drove up swift
ly in cab intended for tie captured
counterfeitor. The dying man WIS put
in before he had left much blood on
the pavement to tell of the murder.
He died next day. No one ever heard
Of it nor Of any punishment for this
murderer. But the counterteiter was
shortly after brought up for counter
feiting and got sentence long enough
to keep him in State prison for thu
rest Of his life"
