o Rattlesnake Jim was an onery limb, who waded kneedeep in gore; he carried gun that weighed half a ton. he snorted and ripped and swore. He painted things red and buried his dead. and bluffed all the people down. till Alkali Jay, on his eve. necked bay, came pestering into town. This Alkali Jay had a pleasant way of shooting at peo- ple's hats; he shot the brim from the one on Jim. and the latter cried: Dog my Catsr" Then the guns they popped and the shootists dropped both wings in frightful style, and their forms we bore to a sycamore, distance of half mile. And Rattlesnake Jim swung from one limb, and Alkali Jay swung near; and the robins sang where the bad men swang. and their song was sweet and clear. And it seems to me that Iynching bee was the best that ever knew; and the guests agreed it was fine indeed. when the function all was through. If you go your way like Alkali Jay. or Rattlesnake Jim. my friend, if you're men and bad, then we'll all be glad when your journey has an end.

from iron and other substances and in welding. It's use in castings. where it is alloyed with copper, zinc or nickel is growing It is one of the most malleable of all metals
 It takes and retains very high polish and is, therefore, employed in the manufacture of articles of everyday use almost without limit. Some of these newer uses are for wall paper, ceiling panels. stamped or hammered trays. etc.. as a substitute for Photographic stones and zinc plates, and in the panels of car and carriage bodies. As powder it is used in the man ufacture of merchandising metallic paints and varnishes valuable in protecting iron and in rendering woodwork partly fireproof.
 Aluminium is commercially re- coverable only from bauxite. a comparatively scarce mineral The next step in order to increase it's use is to obtain it chearly from ordinary clay. In an advance chapter from Mineral Resources of the United States" for 1909. w. C. Phalen of the United States Geological Survey, mentions 8 group of recent patents for the production of elementary silicon l from clay, with the formation of pure aluminium as by-product.
 The present prices of metallic aluminium are among the lowest yet recorded. and it is MT. Phalen s belief that these figures will resu' t in stimulating the consumption of the metal. He also presents fig ures showing that the 1909 pro duetion of bauxite, the present source of all metallic aluminium. was l2o.lO1 long tons. valued at l $6z9,44Z a growth of 32 per cent in quantity and of more than 40 per cent in value, as. compared with 1907, the latest previous nor nal year of business. Arkansas led in the production of bauxite, showing almost a phenomenal growth as compared with the pre- ceding years. Other states which produce bauxite are Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee.

The Tuning of a Bell.

What a beautiful tone that bell has," is often heard. There are few, however. who know how a bell receives it's joyful and solemn tones. All bells. after they are cast and finished must go through a process of tuning the same as any other musical instrument, be- fore they respond with clear. true tone, says the Scientific American. Every bell sounds five notes, which must blend together in order to produce perfect harmo- ny.
 The tuning of bell is done by means of shaving thin bits from various parts of the metal It it as easy for an expert tuner to put a bell in tune as it is for piano tun- CT to adjust his instrument to per feet chords.
 At first thought it would seem that bell would be ruined should the tuner shave off too much at the last tuning. or the fifth sound. but such is not the case. He would, however. be obliged to begin over, starting again with the first tone and shaving the bell until it gave forth it's harmonious sound at the fifth tone.

Cultivate Shallow.

The time for corn cultivation is here and we should learn the falla- cy of blowing corn too deep. Deep blowing is very necessary in the fall and winter. but deep cultiva- tion should not be practiced at this time of the year.
 Deep cultivation of corn has two bad results: Many plant roots are injured. perhaps killed and much moisture is lost. Thirty days after planting corn the roots will have met if the rows are only three and one-half apart. These roots lay within two to six inches of the sur face. Deep cultivation will cut or break many of these roots. Some of them will wither and dry up. while all of them will be injured to a more or less extent. The plant itself is injured in proportion to the injury received by the roots which are feeders of the plant.
 Deep cultivation causes the loss of much moisture. At this time of the year we do not feel the need of conservation of moisture. But we should try to hold as much mois- ture in the ground as possible, since it will be needed later on. We should practice shallow inten- sive cultivation. Cultivation should be intensive in order that all grass and weeds may be destroyed when they are young. thus obviatlng the necessity for deep cultivation. It should be shallow in order that dust mulch may be maintained. A dust mulch will prevent the loss of an excessive amount of mois- ture. A crust on the surface of the ground causes the moisture to be drawn from the subsoil to the surface where it is quickly lost by evaporation. A light rain moistens only the first two or three inches of the top soil and creates crust. When this crust has formed the water below will move rapidly to the surface and will he lost by evaporation. If this crust is not broken, the land will dry out very quickly and after a few days the soil will contain less moisture than if it had not rained at all. Run light harrow over the ground as soon as possible after each rain and thus prevent the formation of a crust. Harrow often enough to maintain a two or three inch dust mulch. It is only in this way that we can conserve the moisture in our soils.

INTERRUPTION BY
RAIN HARDLY FELT
Contractors Pushing Work and Re-
ception for Nationals Will
Be Assured.

National Park is today the mecca Of
the baseball fans of Washington.
Early this morning the inspection
started. before noon patrons Of the
Nationals to the number Of nearly 5000
visited the grounds, and 1t is estimated
that before evening fully 10000 men and
women will have been out to Florida
avenue and Seventh street to see the
remarkable progress the contractors
have made in building the cement plant
since the fire three weeks ago.
While the rain of last week proved
somewhat of a drawback, all the cement
work has been completed. and when the
will not be in place on Wednesday,
afternoon there will be room for more
than 10000 people.
No Work on Upper Tiers.
Because of the limited time in which
the work was to be done, no attempt
has been made to build the upper tier
of the grandstand, but the rest OF the
structure will be ready.
The new seats have been ordered. but
vail not be in place on Wednesday.
In their place will be temporary chairs,
which will remain until the club leaves
Heie OH Apiil ~ loT It's III 81 lIlp'
Bleachers Same As Ever.
The bleachers will remain as they al
ways have been, and, while the benches
for the pavilion have not been placed,
the fans will watch the first series OF
games from the tiers of cement steps,
which are higher than the old wooden
ones and extend all the way to the
center field fence.
BY May 1 the contractors expect to
have all the work done. and then
Washington will have a baseball plant
that will compare favorably with the
ones built during the past two years in
other maor league cities.

Writer Says Pitcher Might Have
Made Himself Hero by
Giving In.

That the majority Of washington's
fans are not the only ones interested in
the troubles between Walter johnson
and the management Of the Nationals,
is shown by the amount Of space devot-
ed to the subject by the papers in other
cities.
Here Is what James C. Isaminger, in
the Philadelphia North American, has
to say on the subject:
"WalteE Johnson hardly has the SYM
pathy Of the Washington public in his
persistent stand for a larger salary
johnson is gleat piteher-one Of the
lest In the country-and Washington Of
fered him an unusually large salary.
He was sent a contract calling for
$500. which is more money than any
other pitcher in the fast set, barring
Mathewson. is receiving.
That was quite e remarkable salary

Inc Washington club had some i'll
fortune this year. Its grandstand was
DESTROYED by fire. Besides this loss, the
shareholders have to dig still deeper in
their pockets to put up a new stand that
Will cost fortune.
Inc owners Of the Washington club
are not paupers and can stand the loss,
and also get the money to build the new
stand; but had johnson receded from
his position after the fire and told his
owners that In view of their great loss
he would sign at the figures offered, ne
would have made hero of himself.
But johnson is unwilling for any her

holding out for $1,000 above the $500 Of

Manager McAleer was so disappoint-
ed at the attitude of his star that he has
ordered him to his home. Johnson is a

Writer In New York
Takes Side of Club

Grantland Rice. one of the brightest
baseball writers In America, today takes
the following sensible view Of the con-
troversy between Walter johnson and
Jimmy McAleer:
"It isn't often that a ball player OBJ
tains more change from his club than Is
due him, but the ethics OF the Walter
johnson case seem to be against the
athlete.
THE Washington club. has offered
their star pegger $500. johnson is hold
ing out for $500, with a three-year con-
tract attached calling for a 5000 layout
each season.
THE Idaho wonder Is all that, but
$500 per looks to be nearer right than
the sum he names.
"A ball player Bill Bernhard used
to figure, is worth what he can get
Il Johnson can'get the 5000 he is worth
it. but there are worse bets than the tip
that he will get it-not"
