from almost nothing in the way OF
fruits and vegetables to many hun
dreds Of cars annually The increase
of tonnage in 1905 was between 1000
and 1000 cars in potatoes, melons and
vegetables alone"
Such is the report received from an
other company, while still more were
gotten from the various others follow
ing the same methods.
Special crops. also, have been grown
through the work of the companies. In
one locality. fitted to the cultivation OF
strawberries, the company agreed to fur

struct the farmers how to plant and grow
this fruit Eighty-six acres were put out
the first year, the yield being nine car
loads. In 1904 about 1,0Oo acres were
planted and fifty carloads were shipped
The next year the yield was $50 car
loads. while recently 1t has been exceed
ing go and 800 carloads.
Another company reached satisfactory
results by publishing a monthly maya
zine containing accurate information as
to the character and condition or the
markets in the several cities, and gives
the rates Of freight from various points
along it's lines to these cities. This rail-
road has three industrial agents paid by
the company. aided by two assistants, all
of whom are experts In agricultural mat
tiers, and who devote their entire time to
the development of agriculture along the
lines traversed by this company's trains.

Yet another road has solved the prob

truck growers associations. with an ag-

Nogi to Visit Russia.

Gen. Nogi. the Japanese hero. who
captured Port Arthur from the Russians
and assured the success of his country in
the battle of Mukden, is about to visit
his former foes.
The general, veteran Of many battles.
with less of the reticence that character
ICES his fellow countrymen, came to Lon
don as a member Of the special mission
from Japan to the coronation. The head
OF the mission, Prince Higashi- Fushirni

having almost made up his mind to re-
turn home through America, finally de-
cided to go by steamer as he came Ad-
miral Togo. the naval representative on
the mission, is going to America at the
invitation of the American government,
after he makes tour of England, while
Gen. Nogi goes to Russia
The general, when seen before his de.
parture, seemed rather pleased with his
prospective trip. He first visits Turkey
doubtless to see what the Germans have
done with the Turkish soldiers Then he
goes to Berlin for an audience with the
emperor. and from there to St. Peters
burg. His host in the Russian capita
is to be Gen. StOessel, who defended Port
Arthur against Nogi. and who was court.
martialed for surrendering. The last time
the two warriors met was on the day
the Russian flag was hauled down and
Stoessel handed his sword to the mar
whom he has now invited to visit his
home. The meeting must be an interest
In gone.
Gen. Nogi is also anticipating with
much pleasure an audience with Emperor
Nicholas. Both he and Admiral Togo
were very popular in London, and re-
ceiyed ovations wherever they went They
were among the few who drove to the
coronation ceremony at Westminster Alb
hey in an open carriage, and were cheered
all along the route. Admiral Togo Is
quiet. and has little to say even to his
own countrymen. Gen. Nogi, on the other
hand, is good companion, and talked
continuously of what he had seen and
hoped to see.

negotiations over the various Chinese
loans. They got the railway loans off
their hands and thought there was no: h :
ing more to be said about the Man
churian loan. Lately, however, it has
again cropped up In the dispatch bags.
Japan and Russia objected to the clause
that provided that in future loans the
countries supplying the money in this in
stance should be given the first option.
Russia and Japan thought that estab-
lished a monopoly. and the ambassadors
in London complained to the foreign
office.
1t has been pointed out that such a
cause is put In all loan agreements. and
Is usual business arrangement. No
formal answer has been given as yet,
but 1t is believed that steps will be taken
by the interested powers to allay the
feeling in Japan and Russia that they
are being shut out Of any loan trans
actions in China.

PROVED BY BLOOD
Analysis Used as Evidence in
Criminal Case.
FIRST TIME IN ENGLAND
Stains on Victims Clothing Were
Like Those Found in the
Crippen Case.

Special Cablegram to The Star
LONDON, July 22.-For the first time
IN the history of the criminal courts of
England skilled analyst has been able
to say positively that the stains found on
the clothes of prisoner were made by
human blood, and not only that but that
Inc blood was from an anemic person.
In many murder trials the guilt or in
nocence of a prisoner has turned on the
evidence OF the analyst, who heretofore
was unable to swear positively whether
the stains were made by animal or hu-
man blood. The point came up in the
Cr1ppen case. and it was then said that
science was at work on the subject and
a successful outcome of the Investigation
was anticipated.
In the case in question a man was
charged with killing woman and when
arrested stains were found on his clothes
Dr. wilcox, the government ANALYST who
was witness in the Crippen case, stated
IN evidence that modern methods now
enabled him to say that the blood was
human, and that 1t came from an anemic
person, which the victim was The pris-
oner was found guilty and sentenced to
death.

SENATOR STEPHEN B ELKINs, of West Virginia died Jan. 4. at his home in Washington, D c. He had been critically ill for some weeks past and his death was not entirely unexpected s e tor Elkins was born September 26, 1S41. During the administration of President Harrison he served as secretary of war and was elected to the United States senate in Febru- ary 1894, serving continuously ever since. His present term would have expired March 8, 1912. In early life Senator Elkins was a resident of New Mexico and served that territory as delegate in con- gress in the forty-third and forty fourth congress.

' by becoming like Christ that the soul reaches the Divine. Thus to develop the spiritual nature is the
 mission of the Sunday school.
 The spirit of the home effects the spirit of the school. One can judge the condition of the home and sentiments of the parents by the actions and characteristics of the child. The better the home spirit the better and nobler will be the school spirit. How much stronger and better will be the work and Influence of the Sunday school if it is supplemented and supported by home in nf1uences
 1 The Sunday school should sup 1 plement the religion teaching of the home but how often this is entirely left to the Sunday school How many parents are so taken up | with the cares of the world, the bread and butter question, the A lmighty dollar, that they give no thought to their children's relig
 ious education but leave that to others Worldly ambition can only bring double toll and trouble
 For what will it profit man if he l gain the whole world and loose his soul" Here the Sunday school fills the place that the home neg lects, for so many parents shift the responsibility of religious home training upon the Sunday school
 Many parents send their chill dren to the Sunday school and limit their own church goirg to some Sunday school entertainment when they turn out to hear Jack speak a piece or Margaret sing a song. They return home more pleased than ediied, compliment ing themselves that their children are so much like their nearest ancestors If the child should bring no credit to the family in any way the Sunday school teacher as we'll as the day school teacher is bla med as it is their lack of skill and ability that is at fault. "Ex- ample is better than precept" so parents should accompany their children not only for their good and it's influence in the home but to see and learn how and what their children are taught and how they behave themselves. though as rule children who are taught to mind at home by their parents will mind elsewhere.
 The origin of the Sunday school was an outgrowth of the home, for it's aim was to teach children the morals and decencies of life which ! the homes of the common people of that period neglected But az civilization advanced SO ignorance gave place to knowledge 'Old things have passed away and be- hold all things have become new The social evolution of the 18Th centuary led to changed views as to the bringing up of children re snlting from the chang education of the parents Now it is no longer the relm of the Sunday school to teach children to read and write etc.. but rather to teach them, That thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart. with all thy soul, and with all thy mind and thy neighbor as myself" Of course in the slums of our large cities the mission Sunday schools are doing a wonderful work still in refining and elevating the homes of the children who attend, Many a home has been made purer and brighter, and many parents have been reclaimed and led into paths of usefulness and uprightness by the children bringing into the homes what they have been taught at Sunday school
