After a brave fight of several
months against that dreaded disease,
consumption. Mr.. n. West Harman,
one of the most prominent and highly
respected farmers of the Hollow creek
section, passed into the Great Beyond
into that "house not made with
hands''-on Saturday morning.
Several weeks ago he went to At
lanta for treatment under a specialist
with the hope that he would be bene-
fitted, but the change did not have
the desired effect and he returned to
his home about a month ago. He
gradually grew worse until the end
came.
Mr.. Harman was devoted member
of St. Johns Lutheran church, hav-
ing joined when quite a young man.
His remains we're laid to rest in the

A true friend and neighbor, kind
and indnlpent father. a ford and af-
fectionate husband, he will be greatly

Fertilizers to do your crops any good dissolve in

Therefore, when you buy fertilizer, you should do so
with the idea Of furnishing food for crop and on the
principle that you should purchase food for your
stock. 1t should not only contain the Ammonia,
Phosph9rc Acid and Potash but above all eise taese
of the fertilizer should be such to permit the plant to
absorb every particle of it, and the goods should be
factured materials that will not give up their plant

the entire growing season.
This is the fertilizer you should and Get

this by the drymixng of Materials whether you do
this at home with shovel and buy it from

These materials must be ground to powder, and it
quires machinery costing thousands of dollars to do it
properly They must then be so manipulated that when
complete you have compound, each ounce of which is
exactly like every other ounce, and not mixture,

A STUDY IN FIGURES.
Calculations Necessary to Produce tho
Nautical Almanac.

Calculations Necessary TO Produce tho
Nautical Almanac.
It may safely be said that no one
outside the publishing office has read
the entire Nautical Almanac from be-
ginning to end, but each figure of the
printed almanac is in the Office ex-
amined twice and read three times.
The total number of figures exceeds
a million; but. great as that number is,
it is trifing compared with the num-
Der Of figures employed in the calcula-
tons. as the almanac figures repre-
sent 'bare' results only. The moon,
for instance, requires for it's calcu-
lation more than a million and half
of figures, and similarly with other
branches of the work, such as the
sun, the planets, etc. Contrary to the
general opinion. practically every fig
ure in the book is fresh from year to
year.
The tables from which nearly all the
work is calculated have been original
~ constructed from the labors OF the
astronomical observer and to a large
extent from the observations Of the
sun, moon and planets made at the
Royal observatory. Greenwich. Tele-
scopes and other astronomical appl1-
ances are conspicuously absent, as the
work of the staff is purely mathemati-
cal and not observational.-Lond

A Leuend of Mount Omi.

Mount Om on the border, between
western China and Tibet. has the long
est staircase in the world. On top of
the mountain there stands Buddhist
temple, around which gather some of
the hottest traditions Of that religion
and which is made a Mecca to the
Chinese. To facilitate the ascent of
it's slippery sides some 10000, steps
have been cut in the mountain, form
ing a single flight. up which the pill
grim tolls. Because of it's inaccessi-
bility few Europeans have ever visited
the spot. but a number of travellers
have assembled the stairway and are
positive that it is no legendary myth.
There is a legend that in earlier times
the pilgrim was forced to ascend the
mountain without artificial aids until
the monks conceived the plan of re-
quiring every pilgrim who would gain
especial benefit Of his journey to cut a
single step.

Some Consolation.

He was a frugal Scot and when the
collection plate came round dropped
in form in mistake for the humble
copper. Speedily discovering his mis-
take, however, he stepped softly down
the aisle and requested the oof gath
erer to give him back the coin, which
request was politely but firmly re-
fused. A shade Of disappointment fit
ted over the northerner's face as he
walked slowly back to his pew.
"Aweel." he said, cts a loss, but
there's some sma' consolation in re-
flectin' it's a bad one. 1t might have
got me into trouble anywhere else."-

THE ELECT
Instrument by Which the Presence Of
Electricity Is Detected.

= ~ E SD
Electricity Is Detected.
The electroscope is an instrument for
the detection of electricity. 1t depends
for it's action on the principle that
bodies charged with like electricity re-
pei, while those charged with unlike
electricity attract each other. The ordi-
nary pith ball suspended on a silk
thread is the simplest form Of the in
strument. .F..z .|@%
The most common type of electro
scope is that devised by Bennett in
1887 and known as the gold leaf cleo
troscope. 1t consists of two strips Of
gold leaf or thin aluminium foil sus-
pended from the lower extremity of
conductor within a glass bottle or jar.
The upper end Of the conductor ter
inmates in a ball or a plate in case the
instrument is to be used as condens-
ing electroscope. If body charged
with positive electricity is brought near
the knob of the electroscope the mega
tive electricity will be attracted to the
knob and the positive repealed to the
leaves, which diverge. If now the fin
ger is touched to the knob the positive
electricity is drawn off and the leaves
collapse, while the negative electricity
is held bound. Removing the charged
body, the leaves will diverge again,
charged with negative electricity. In
this case the instrument can be used
to determine the nature of a charge of
a body brought near it, as with posi-
tive charge the leaves will collapse and
with a negative charge spread farther
apart-EXchange

The Landscape Near Jerusalem.

The country about Jerusalem is es-
senually pale country. Indeed.
1ften thought it looked stricken. as
II its pallor had come upon it abrupt.
II, had been sent to it as a visitation.
i was not sorry that l saw it first
under grayness and swept by winds.
The gravness. the winds, seemed to
me to emphasize it's truth, to drive
home its reality. And there was some
thing noble in its candor. Even ma
ture can take. on an aspect Of tricki-
quetry. daintiness not wholly free
from suggestions of artificiality The
landscape in the midst Of which Je-
rusalem lies is dreary, Is sad; in
stormy weather is almost forbidding.
Yet it has a; bare frankness that rem
ders it dignified, a large simplicity that
is very striking. The frame is sober,
the picture within it is amazing. and
neither. once seen. can ever be forgot

The art of land surveying owes 1ts
origin to the fact that the Egyptians
were unable to keep permanent monu-
ments on land which was overlooked
every year by the Nile. Under such
circumstances it" became necessary to
have some means of reident1fying the
various pieces Of land The instru-
ments and mathematical methods of

were used by the Egyptians for land
surveying. III

M'VILLE, n. D., HAS
A NARROW ESCAPE
PROMPT WORK OF FIRE DEPART
MENT TODAY SAVED THE
BUSINESS SECTION.

Neville, N. D., Aug. 11.-McVille just
managed to escape a very disastrous
fire this noon which would have been
a clean sweep of the whole business
district but for the effective work of
the local fire company and engines.
The origin of the fire is unknown. but
1t is presumed that spark form a
large sheet iron can commonly used by
many business houses to burn refuse
lighted a small pile os rubbish which
has been raked up near the rear Of
the Neville Drug company's store.
The flames caught the rear of the
building with the result that the fire
had gained very good Roadway before
being discovered. If 1t had not been
for the timely discovery it would have
meant the entire destruction of the
drug store building and probably the
whole town, as the wind was blowing
in the right direction TO carry the
flames to the business section.
+ The fire laddies were on hand with
the two large chemical engines within
two minutes after the fire was dis
covered and had the flames under con-
troll aefew minutes later. II was a very
exciting time for the citizens and all
were on hand to lend a hand in ex-
tinguishing the blaze. The building
is two-story frame structure covered
with sheet iron and owned by a d.
McDougall. The loss is fully covered
by insurance.

courage and strategy on the part Of
Gertrude Nc Gauvran. the I0-year-
daughter of Postmaster McGauvran,
prevented herself fom being kidnapped.
although the motive that prompted a
strange man to carry her from the city
Is not known. She was returning home
through the schoolyard when she was
accosted by the man, who insisted on
her going with him. She cried for
help, but no one heard her. and the
man succeeded in getting her out OF
town without being apprehended.
After passing through a wheat field
they reached the Great Northern reser-
voir. where the little girl was told to
wait until a rope could be secured.
While the stranger was after the rope.
she disappeared In the wheat field and
ran for home, to find her parents al
most frantic. The strange man has
not been apprehended, but 1t is thought
he was lunatic or was intoxicated.

Sofa IN YEARs-AN IMMENSE
QUANTITY OF NORTH DAKOTA
MERCHANDISE DESTROYED.

Erskine, Mimi, Aug. ia very bad
wreck occurred on the Great Northern
one mile from Erskine last night in
which three men lost their lives and
an immense quantity OF merchandise
was practically ruined.
& The train was west bound and in IT
were sixteen cars of merchandise for
points in western North Dakota. The
accident was caused by a kinked rail
which caused the tearing up OF seven
teen full rails and long stretch of
track. Two Of the dead men are
strangers and supposed to be ittner-
ants. The third is thought to be Henry
Buelow OF Erskine who sustained bad
scalp wounds. Late this afternoon the
track was not clear and a transfer
system was being used for passenger
trains.
1t was the worst wreck on the Great
Northern in northern Minnesota IN
years.
