Princeton, Ind.-In the circuit court
here Judge Clements awarded Mrs
Bertha Stewart a divorce from her
husband. DR.. w. H. Stewart, and
$500 for attorney fees. The verdict
marked the close of a sensational
case.
Offered as an exhibit during the
trial were four eggs, bearing penciled
legends, all of which Mrs. Stewart
and counsel interpreted as meaning
small threats of dubious character.
One OF the eggs bore the words: 81
am Mrs. Stewards boss; whose boss
are you?" The other inscriptions were
of a similar petty character, 1t was
said. Witnesses testified to the find
ing of the eggs In the nests of the
hens about the Stewart place.
Mrs. Stewart, on the stand in her
own behalf, declared that she almost
daily discovered scraps of paper un.
der the pillows, in the cupboard
shelves, in hooks at the barn and
smokehouse and always In the most
unusual places. She also said that
her husband had not confined his al
legged prosecutions to the writing OF
covert messages, but that he had tor.
mcnted her in many other little mean
ways, with similar probable intent.

Washington.-The United States has

ducing country in the world, and
Russia has won that distinction. Even
though last year the total yield of
wheat In the United States was next
to the largest in the history of Amer
lean agriculture, the crop of 1901 only
having exceeded 1t, Russia last year
produced the remarkably large harvest
of 783,0O0,000 bushels, which constf-
tutes the largest crop ever harvested
by any country, and 26.000,000 bush
els greater than that of the United
States.

as shown by the revised official re-
turns received by the United States de-
partment of agriculture. exceeds Ny
more than 100000. 900 bushels the pre-
vious record of Russia. Only twice

Scientist Tells of Changes from
Tropical to Arctic.
Gradually Changing and In Years to
Come Will BE Like That Of Egypt
Reason Found In Procession
Of Equlnoxes.

London.-We read the records i'm
printed on the earth's crust of the So
called London Basin beneath our feet,
we find some 10000 years ago, in the
age of the sand, gravel and clay de-
posits, a climate about the same as
Egypt, inhabited by all kinds of trop-
ical plants (palms, cocoanut trees)
and animals. including Ga fact which
may appeal to our epicurean alder
men) some ten different kinds of tur-
ties, long-nosed and short-nosed ones
Caledonia longiceps and Brachiceps).
Then, as the ages rolled on, the eli
mate changed from that of sub-tropic-
al heat to semi-arctic cold, from that
of Egypt to that of Iceland. And that
was 5000 years before Adams time.
Gradually then the climate began
to get warmer We find, in the Pleis-
tocene period, together with flint
knives, hatchets and implements
(signs of existence of mani, bones of
elephants, rhinoceroses, and hippopot-
ami, and also glacial drifts and Nor
folk boulders
At the present day the average mean
temperature of London Is so degrees
Fahrenheit, whereas the geology of
the Thames valley shows US that 1t
has tiuctuated in times gone by from
70 degrees to 40 degrees Fahrenheit,
or 80 degrees from one to the other.
The reason for this astonishing
state of things is to be found in what
is called the procession of the equi-
noxes.
This is that popularity in the
movement of our globe whereby ev-
cry part of the earth's surface is sub
ject to slow but continuous alteration

protuberance at the equator).

But as a matter of fact, the lines of
heat are slowly but steadily changing

set proximity, winds. etc.. because
the earth's pole does not move per-
pendieularly to its path (the so-called
ecliptic) round the sun. but tilted at
an angle which decreases and in
creases during certain fixed periods.
In other words, climate or differences
between hot and cold weather depends
primarily on the slope of the suns
rays to the earth (climate, from the
Greek-Klino: bend, incline), which

CLIMATE OF LONDON

This steady revolution of certain
parts Of the earth fror hot to cold
and from cold to hot used to be con-
sidered accomplished once every 26,-
900 years, but recent researches show
that the complete change takes $1,000
years to accomplish, so that we may
estimate that 1t will take London an
other 1000 to 5000 years to reach the
climate of Egypt, to which it is SLOW
ly approaching.
In support of this theory 1t is curl
GUS to note the mean average tempera-
ture Of London has been slowly rising
during the last century, so that Lon
don Of the present day is over " de-
grees Fahrenheit warmer than it was
100 years ago.
Severe cold is becoming a thing OF
the past. Snow is now comparative
rarity. The so-called old-fashioned
winters, with showed up stage coach

The last severe winter that | can
remember, when boy, was that of

their lives in breaking through the ice

Big Russian Wheat Yield

Returns received by the department
of agriculture from dozen countries
which In the preceding year produced
over four-fifths of the so-called worlds
wheat crop. exclusive of the midsea-
son crops of India and the southern
hemisphere, show In the aggregate a
net gain in 1909 of 387 ,000,000 bushels,
or nearly IS per cent. over the yield of
the same countries In 1908. This would
indicate that the so-called worlds pro-
duction last year was approximately
2,150.000.000 bushels. All but three of
the countries heard from report an In
crease. Those with short crops are
Germany. Hungary and Bosnia-Herze-
govnia.
The condition in which the new
crops entered winter is satisfactory,
except in Great Britain and Russia.
An official crop report from Russia
rates the crops as below average" in
provinces that contain So per cent. of
the rye acreage and IL per cent. of the
area of winter wheat.

j JACKSON RAN BECAUSE

The only reason that Will Jackson ran

was orened at the police station to let

Warden Mathewson pulled his gun and

the faster went the negro. Things were
looking favorable for the negro when he
suddenly got tangled up in an argument
with some garbage cans in the alley
on the east side OF Twentieth street and
the cans succeeded in bringing him to the
mat. Before Jackson could get up and
resume the flight, the painting policemen
were upon him and kindly took him into

enact legislation which a majority was
pledged TO favor, and added:
IF some OF our friends in Congress-
have simply been promising for effect.
then we will smoke them out and expose
their duplicity."

some of the opposition to the postal saw

want another party TO get credit for
achieving certain reforms and will lobby
to prevent such an occurrence" he said.

Tho trains met headon and were piled
in heap.
Before the wreck occurred telegraph
operators along the line know that some-
one had blundered. and that the two
heavy 1reishts were rushing toward each
other at q 0-mile-an-hour schedule with
no hope OF any human agency saving
them. The northbound train should have
stopped at Berea, but was allowed to
pass. The wrecking train was ordered
out even while the crews of the two fated
trains were running in fanced security.
So close was the pursuit of the wreckers
that 1t was only short time after the
smash that the wrecking crew men swung
off their car and ran to the rescue work
in the high piled debris.

OF the railroad men who had known that
the catastrophe was inevitable the wreck
ers found that the place where the two
engines met bore the name of Maybee.
The trains met on a curve so sharp as
to give the engine crews practically no

fatally, injured. They were:
