A warm grip was Traxon's only an
swer, but Trennant led the way to the
telegraph office, and, after sending a
couple OF dispatches. he made for the
little pony cart.
He came upon the lot from the
rear. thus avoiding the crowds grad
ually reduced to the comparative few
who, lacking the price Of admission,
were hanging about the grounds.
From within the tent came the blare
of brass and the hum of the cheering
crowds, as Trennant led the way into
the dressing tent.
Just as he entered the green cur
tains were drawn aside and the pro-
cession began to file out of the hippo
drome track. In the van was huge
band chariot resplendent in vermil-
lion and gilt. with bits of looking
glass and polished brass to one side
to permit the musicians to scramble
out and hurry toward the band stand
and then, as it numbered on, Trennant
jumped on to the running board, fol-
lowed by Traxon.
Once they had cleared the tent
Trennant explained to the driver
what was wanted, and with a final
handshake he dropped lightly to the
ground while the chariot sped toward
the street.

village boy for pilot, the huge ma

than an hour the tiny cluster of
houses that constituted Midvale came
into sight.
The boy pilot located the place
where Mrs. Blaine lived. With fine
flourish the chariot sped up the drive
and came to stop before the broad
piazza, on which girl and boy were
playing.
Traxon swung himself down, after
slipping a gratuity to the driver, and
approached the awestruck children.
Mamma lat home, little MANI" he
asked the boy. For a moment the
child stared, then he toddled into the
broad hall.
Mamma he called, in his shrill,
childish treble "Tum down, kwick.
/ dess Dod's tum."
Traxon sprang forward to greet
the woman who descended the stairs
and he read his answer in the happy
light of her eyes.
Everything depends upon first i'm

she placed her cool, firm hands in his
own. II think your first impression

May Jim Trennant have the good
fortune that is his due" said Traxon.

Has No Diaphragm.

A novel telephone receiver without
a diaphragm has recently been de-
vised, for which many advantages are
claimed. 1t consists of a permanent
magnet, the poles of which are con-
nected by soft core, making a con-
tinuous magnetic circuit. A coil
wound round this core is connected
to the transmitter and suitable bat
terry. When the transmitter is spoken
into, says the Scientific American, the
undulatory current affects the entire
magnetic circuit of the receiver, re-
producing the voice very distinctly.
1t is said that with this receiver there,
are no overtones or disturbing sounds
due to the vibrating of diaphragm.
In one modification of this telephone
the sounds were produced with such
clearness as to fill large hall.

THE NATURE OF SOIL FERTILTT
Rec ent Discoveries Have Suggested the EN-.
ployment OF Novel Fertilizers

Recent discoveries in regard to
the nature of soil fertility have sug-
gested the employment of various
novel fertilizers. Manganese has
been applied with success, and now M.
Rigaux has published an account of
a series of experiments, made in Bel
GUM, in the employment of mag
nesia as a fertilizer for cereals, po-
tatoes, beets and leguminous crops.
The magnesia was applied in the
form of kainit, or Stassfurt potash
salt, which contains fourteen per
cent. of magnesium sulphate. Ri
gaux had previously proved that the
quantity of magnesia in arabic land
is smaller than is generally supposed,
and that the surface soil always con-
tains less magnesia than the subsoil.
Magnesia is found in plants in con-
siderable quantities, constituting, for
example, thirteen per cent. Of the as l
of wheat and eight per cent. of the
ash of oats. Hence, if no magnetism
fertilizer is applied, repeated crop
ping must exhaust the magnesia of
the soil, to the detriment of succeed
ing crops. 1t appeared probable,
therefore, that the application Of
magnesia would produce beneficial
effect. This theoretical conclusion
was fully confirmed by the expert

increased by $500 pounds per acre,
and the percentage of sugar was not
diminished. With grains, the in
crease varied from one-seventh to.
one-hfth OF the total crop. On barley
magneesia had the peculiar effect of
diminishing the proportion of nitro
genous constituents. This property
is OF advantage to brewers, who find
great difficulty in making beer of
good keeping qualities from barley

"O-oh, hubby!" she sobbed, "I'm

ever learn to cook we'll enough to
keep your love for always!"
why, what's happened now, darl-

red pepper into the cinnamon sauce
again, or did you try to make ome-
let out of eggplant this time?"

biscuits I made this morning."
ooh. yes; remember them all

And you said they would be just
fine if they we're only cooked a little

sickly. Well, l gave those that were

Talking Postcards.

Talking postcards have been spo-

have now become an accomplished
fact in Europe, though they are hard
ly likely to come within reach of the
million just yet. Happily they have
not reached such perfection that on
coming down in the morning ones
correspondence will hail one in va

AMAZING FACTS ABOUT WHITE
SLAVE TRAFFIC.

The following amazing facts were
brought to light recently by an in
vestigation of the white slave traffic
in Chicago:
The chief procurers arrested We're
romod IN Fors. They were man and
wife Their bail was fixed at S26s-
600 Furnishing their own Dondp
they gave the Government as security
their own house and lot valued at
cox 600. The next day they left CHI
20 on for Paris-thus forfeiting to che
Government their handsome resi-
dence. Reaching France, they 1mlne-
diately resumed their shameless OPP
CREATIONS. But their traffic this time
was in American girls. Recently
thew we're caught, brought to JUSTICE
and sentenced to a French prison
the man for term of five years, the
woman for two years.
The district attorney came into
nossession of the book accounts or
the Du Fors. The records OF business
transacted establish the following
facts: That the white slave traffic is
an organized syndicate, with head
quarters in Chicago, and branch of
fees established in all our large
cities. These branch houses become
clearing houses" and distributing
centres" for this unthinkable syndi-
cate! 1t buys a girl for $15, and
sells her for $3.50, sometimes $500!
The Du Fors house alone did busi-
ness of $4,000 the first nine
months of 1908, and 100000 for the
year of 1907! Regularly and syste-
matically it sends hunters to France,
Hungary, Italy and Canada for VIC
tins. It stations it's hirelings at every
port of entry in Canada and America.
They scan immigrants, and seek to
trap unprotected girls by speaking
to them in their own tongue, or by an
offer of employment. Then follow in
quick succession capture, ruin, slav-
ery-hell!

Progress Retarded by Caste.

Upon India, at once the wealthiest
and poorest of nations, hangs the
milestone of caste, a damper to all
ambition, dead weight to all pro-
gress. The Sudra may not hope for
advancement or reward. The Brah-
min and the warrior and the prince
remain superior by birth and law.
But with both classes, each forbidden
to assist the other, there is desire
for gain and the boarding of gain.
