The State More Urban.

The complete census returns for Mas
sachusetts re-enforce the conclusions
formed by the first, scattered reports.
/ The tendency is everywhere TO eoncentra-
ton. The small farming towns are grow
ing smaller, their population being drawn
to urban centers, whose industries fur
nish steady employment In many sec
tions of the state there are urban areas
either existing or in evident process of
formation. There are cities and there
are towns either large enough to be cities,
or lacking only a. few thousands Of the
qualifying population OF Berkshire's
100000 inhabitants, $1,000 dwell il,
North Adams and Pittsfield and the big
town of Adams. Great Darlington is
half way towards cityhood, and Dalton,
which has gained sixteen per cent in
the past decade, is a suburb of Pittsfeld.
In busy Bristol the small towns refect
the growth of New Bedford Fall River
and Taunton, to which many of them
are suburbs, while the two Attleboros
which between them have more than 25,-
900 constitute practically an urban cen
ter. Fitehburg and Leominster together
have $4,000 people, who live under essen
Worcester county, while at the other the
influence of Worcester, still the second
city in the commonwealth, expands a
group into which its population and its
industry overflow. With the pressure
towards concentration in cities or towns
approximating cityhood even small towns
have the promise of growth, but what
viii become of the little ones must be
question of serious concern to those who
still cling TO the acres OF their fathers
New Ashford, for instance, which has
but ninety-two people, is rapidly drop
ping to the status OF hamlet, and there
are others that make a better exhibit
only because they have had farther to
fall.
That there is every probability of these
declining towns passing into the posses
sion of few wealthy summer sojourners
does not assure return to anything like
their oldtime standing Their area can
be converted at very little expense into
a small number OF great estates, but this
means the extinction of many small hold
ings and the exodus of the sellers. Some
of the smallest towns in the state al
ready have partially undergone this con-
version, and not a few in the neighbor-
hood of Boston have a personal valua-
tion" that is representative of the incom-
ing of score of families whose pur-
chases have displaced perhaps double
their number who have moved on to the
city or its immediate suburbs.-Bo

be grown by sowing the seed in trenches
five inches deep. Cover the seed at first
with two inches of soil, and as the plants
grow the soil should be gradually drawn
in the trench until it is level full.
II used to be the general opinion that
peas Of fine quality could only be grown
on tall vines This is erroneous, for we
now have dwarf varieties which produce
pods as large as the tall-vined sorts and
are fully equal to them in their luscious
flavor. BY sowing these dwarf varieties
you will save the disagreeable job of pro-
yiding a trellis for the vines Although
most seedsmen advocate thick sowing
Zone quart to 100 feet of drill), the writ
er knows from extended trials that much
better results can be attained by having
the plants stand at least one inch apart
in the rows. BY this method you viii
get larger pods and more of them than
If they were sown thiekly.
In sowing peas it should be remem-
bered that the wrinkled varieties are
not so hardy as the smooth seeded sorts.
They should not be planted until the soil

cumstances to account for the apparent
slowness in getting the machinery OF
justice to working But, however that
may be, there can be little criticism OF
the conduct Of the prosecution after
wards, a special session Of the grand
| jury being summoned to consider a pos
sible indictment and the woman being
larraigned as soon as true bill was
found Fortunately, too, the Franklin
county court was in session at the same
time, so that there was no need for a
long continuance, as is being done in
the Dodge case in Essex county. The
conduct of the trial was attended with
reasonable expedition, and at the same
time the respondent was given a fair
chance to prove the shooting OF her hus-
band was an accident, as she maintained
in her own testimony; and yet the trial
was finished within ten days So it will
be seen that the proceedings were re-
markedly rapid for the usual course in
Vermont courts, and the case furnishes
a fairly satisfactory object lesson to
be copied. AS to the verdict OF man
slaughter, returned by the jury after four
hours deliberaton, there seems to be
less divergence Of opinion than is gen
orally stirred up after trial Of this
magnitude.

RALPH IoHNsroNEs FALL.

| Poised in mid-air, mile or two miles
above the earth, delicate fabric of
wood and steel has been found able to
support the weight of human being
and, guided by his hand, to sweep about
the sky as if in contempt OF the law Of
grayitation which is constantly exerting
q downward attraction. The skilled
mechanician feels no fear so long as the
engine Of his air-machine keeps in regu-
lar operation and SO long as the thin
planes continue their normal position;
but when the engine fails or the sup
porting wings of the frame crumple in
some adverse current the aeroplanist
finds himself in peril. If the engine fails
him, he yet has a chance to maintain
the equilibrium of the aeroplane and
drift to earth, trusting to find an adj
yantageous landing place; but if the
frame of the craft crumples and
warps out Of shape, there is nothing
which can prevent a PERCEPTIONS drop,
as the machine goes entirely beyond con
troll. The latter is the one great fear
of the men who. trust their lives to the
slim frame Of the aeroplane, mounting
into the sky till obliterated by space
That calamity is what befell one of the
brayest OF American experimenters,
Ralph tombstone, yesterday. The hero
of countless flights and the holder OF
the worlds altitude record, be went into
the air at Denver yesterday with his
usual daring, to be dashed to death
through failure of wood and steel to
perform their part in the oft-repeated
experiment. His is the first fatal acci-
dent in American aeroplaning for long
time, and the long freedom from fatai-
ties had put the public into frame Of
mind which considered the danger at
minimum. We shall now be compelled
to reshape our views regarding aeroplan-
ing; it is not yet harnessed and under
complete control and will not be till
some fertile mind invents scheme to
offset the loss OF each particular feature
of the machine. The death of tombstone
will stir the experimenters to redoubled
effort to discover the safeguards of the
air travel.
