The Turning

The Dark Horse" of the senatorial
contest strobe to and fro with cease

slowing here a whispered order, there
an expressive smile or nod and every

well measured words Of that seeming
ly spontaneous geniality which makes
the recipient feel he is an intimate
friend on first si%ht-instaad of a
man with that valuable commodity, a
vote-an art known only to the &C

had noted with ever-increasing alarm,
an inexplicable turn in the tide which
had promised to land him, high and

short time before. Sans0me's ascend

derstand or explain by any of the va
riOus standards that govern political
conditions. 1t seemed as though some
unseen power was using the sack,
the contents and purpose of which are
defined in cartoons by q large dollar
mark. Yet he knew Sansome to be
almost fanatically honest; that San
some, himself, possessed no great
means and that, with he policy he
favored and would doubtless carry
out, it would be directly against the
interests of any Of the great CONNER
cial powers to back him.

STRANGE Fish in the Missouri.

Great numbers of mongrel fish are
being caught in the Missouri river.
Several years ago, fishermen say, carp
was plentiful in the Missouri and
there always was an abundance or
buffalo.
Now it is unusual for anglers to
catch either a buffalo or carp. The
two species have mixed so that the
fish now being caught in such large
numbers appear to be half buffalo and
half carp. The mixture is little I'M
movement over the carp and a decid-
ed detriment to the buffalo.
Catfish are becoming scarce In the
Missouri and other rivers of the state
and it is assumed that the half carp
and half buffalo destroy the catfish
spawn, as they do that of the game
variety.

BULLETIN ON WISCONSIN FRosTs

A special study of frosts in Wiscon-
sin with a view to protecting crops
from damage, has been made by
James L. Bartlett, sometime professor
of meteorology at the University Of
Wisconsin, which has just published
the results in bulletin now in the
university press.
A valuable and interesting feature
of the work is the series of maps and
tables showing the actual growing sea-
son free from "killing" frosts) in
different parts of the state. The aver
age dates of the latest spring and the
earliest autumn frost for forty-seven
districts in forty-three counties are
given, showing the average and the
extreme limits of the killing frosts in
the regions of the Lake Superior shore,
the northern, middle and southern in
terror, the Mississippi river bottoms,
and the Lake Michigan and Green Bay
shore.
The strong influence of small lakes
in the prevention of frosts in the vi
entity is shown by statistics of the dis
trict about Lake Winnebago and Big
Buttes des Morris lake. 1t was found
that the growing season is LAT days at
Oshkosh, 146 at Watertown, 142 at
Chiffon, and 131 at Fond du Lac. At
Madison, which is situated between
Mendoza and Monona lakes, the grow
ing season is month longer than at
Harvey, which is directly east of Mad
ison, nearer Lake Michigan but away
from the influence of small lakes. 1t
is suggested that like immunity from
frost can doubtless be found around
many of the small lakes in northeast
ern Wisconsin.
During seasons when frosts may
cause damage to crops, warnings are
telegraphed from the Chicago weather
bureau office to numerous centers
throughout Wisconsin, and from thence
distributed by mail or telephone, so
that anyone on telephone line should
be able to obtain them by noon of the
day before the frost is expected. Copies
of the weather maps on which the
predictions are based are issued at
Milwaukee, Madison, La Crosse and
Green Bay, as well as at Duluth and
ST. Paul, Dubuque and Escanaba.
The bulletin suggests large number
of methods of protection from frosts.
In the timber country log or stump
fires on the windward side of fields
have been used effectively. A fire in a
hollow or in a drainage bed of down.
flowing cold currents has often pre-
vented cold air from accommodating in
low places. In some places good re-
suits were obtained from the use of
sprinklers, and in irrigated plots flood
ing has been practiced, especially on
the cranberry marshes. Screens of
glass, cloth, or lath have been used
successfully, and smudge fires of damp
material are good when there is not a
high wind. Strawberries may be COW
cred by hay or straw, and young pota-
to plants by light covering of earth
which, however, should not be left on
long. One of the simplest methods of
warding off frost injury is the free use
of water. Thoroughly sprinkling flower
gardens, fruit patches, grape vines,
and similar vegetation the night before
frost gives excellent protection, fire.
quently more effective than a solid
covering. Even vegetation already
frozen may be saved by thorough
sprinkling.

The MARRIAGE Bond.

Throughout civilization there is UNI
mistakable evidence that the concep-
ton of marriage as g sacred contract,
almost indissoluble, except on one
ground alone, no longer keeps its
place. There is a universal tendency
to rebel against the most solemn en-
gagement into which men and women
can enter.
