Odessa, Minn.-Twelve persons were
killed and score injured in col
hsion here when the second section
of the Columbian Flyer. from the Pa.
ciffc Coast, bound for st. Paul, ON
the Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul
road, crashed into the rear end Of the
first section OF that train.
The engine OF the second section,
which was hauling special consign-
ment of silk. tore its way almost to
the middle of the sleeper on the rear
Of the first section.
The sleeper, hurled forward by tho
impact, was stripped from the front
end by the diner, the next coach
ahead. almost to the point where the
engine had stopped its destructive
plowing. The rear Of the diner and
the pilot Of the engine thus almost
touched. Those who escaped death
were in this small clear space.
The sleeper did not leave the right
OF way, nor was either car twisted. No
other cars suffered more than slight
damage. Their steel construction had
been put to . supreme test and It was
demonstrated that even steel cars
may be telescoped.
Responsibility for the wreck has not
been determined definitely, but il said
to rest between the operator at Orton.
Vile Junction. who. it is asserted
should not have permitted the silk
train to enter the block In which there
was q train; the operator who, 1t is
said, failed to lift the stop signal for
the flyer and the flagman of the flyer,
who, 1t Is claimed. failed to protect
the rear of his train after it had
stopped at the block.

SAYS THE SNAIL IS BLIND
Patient Investigator Finds That Ito
So-called Eyes Are Not Or
gans of Vision.

The snail does not receive in this
country the attention that Euro
peans see fit to bestow upon him.
For some time controversy has
been going on between scientists
there over the question of the eye
sight Of the humble mollusc.
One school holds that the eyes Of
the snail cannot stand the bright
sunlight, and point to the fact that
he takes his leisurely walks abroad
at night, and that he has a fondness
for the shade.
Now comes a patient Investigator
named Yung, who claims that the
snail doesn't see at all. He has made
2,400 experiments upon 176 speei-
mems, and he says that when you
put snails into an inclosure where
there is both Light and shade, their
distribution is a matter of chance.
The snail, he says, does not shun
the light SO much as he hunts for Sc
slusion.
His conclusion is that the snail
does not perceive obstacles in his
uath until he bumps into them; his
speed being low, he escapes injury.
Having once selected a resting place,
flashing lights into his apology for
a face does not disturb him. II you
put bright object like the head Of =
pin or tiny mirror within the
twenty-ffth of an inch from his
so-called eyes he pays no attention.
To complete his experiments, Mr..
Yung amputated the organs Of sight
from several snails and couldn't find
that it made any difference in their
happy, if placid, lives.

South, and the production of this
commodity is likely to be consid-
erably augmented in the next
years, by reason of the construe-
tion of new by product plants for
the recovery Of tar, ammonia and
other products from coal.
Potash Manures
Weed ashes was formerly the
almost the exclusive source of
supply Of potash for fertilizing
purposes, but this material has
long since been displaced by the
German potash salts, which at
the present time supply the
worlds demand for potash. When
a high grade potash manure is
desired, sulphate and muriate or
potash are employed, the former
having a potash content Of 40 to
80 per cent in the high grade
article while the commercial
mnriate contains from 50 to 80
percentofpotash. Kainiteontains
about twelve per cent Of potash
in the form of sulphate Of potash
and in addition considerable pro
portions of 'sulphate and chloride
Of magnesium and chloride OF
sodium Common salt) though
these last substances add moth
ing to the fertilizing value of the
material. Kainit is extensively
employed for direct application
as manure, as a constituent Of
home mixed fertilizers, as an in
gredient Of low grade complete
fertilizers. Owing TO the large
amount of inert or extraneous
matter which it contains, its cost
per unit Of potash is Of greater
than that of higher grade ma
nures where it has been trans
ported to considerable distances.

age consists of a mixture Of pull
verized bone and particles Of the
refused meat in a well dried con-
dition. It's availability as a plant
food is greatly enhanced by a
fineness Of division of it's parti-
cles.
Nitrate of soda is the most
highly available form of nitrogen
upon the fertilizer markets and
a good quality of this material
should contain more than ia per
cent of nitrogen, which will cor
respond to an equivalent of 10
per cent of ammonia. The mate
rial is found in very extensive
deposits near the Chilean coast
in South America and the crude
nitrate is carried through a re-
fining process before being exz
ported for fertilizing purposes.
Owing to the fact that nitrogen
is chiefly taken up by the plants
from the soil in the form of nj
trates, organic forms of nitrogen
must undergo nitrification before
coming available as plant food,
whereas nitrate of soda is readily
to the requirements OF
the plant without undergoing
other changes in the soil. Owing
to this very ready solubility, how
ever, it is subject to teaching from
the soil, and upon sandy soils
which are not underlaid by a re-
tentiye subsoil, there is apt to be
more or less thorough the wash
ing out of the nitrate.

several years past been produced

FERTILIZER SUPPLY
Relative Value of Supply from Dit
ferent Sources

The following communication
touching on the vital question OF
fertilizers, sent us for publication
by Commissioner Clay Sloan, we
think merits careful study by
orr farmer readers.
The chief heterogeneous ma
nures met withupon the markets
are cotton seed meal, cotton seed,
dried blood, nitrate Of soda, sui
phate of ammonia, etc, while
tanlage, fish scraps, etc. are
used as sources of both nitrogen
and phosphoric acid. Crude cot
ton seed contains about three per
cent of nitrogen, and slightly
more than one per cent each of
phosphoric acid and potash. By
the removal Of the hull from 1.-THE
seed and the expression of most
of the oil from the kernels, more
concentrated fertilizing material
is obtained in the form of cotton
seed cake or meal, containing on
an average about g. per cent nj
trogen, 3 per cent Of phosphorie
acid and nearly 2 per cent of
potash. This is the form Of nj
trogen to which the Arkansas
farmer has the readiest access
and at the same time it supplies
this valuable element in a form
readily available to the plant.
Dried blood and tankage are
slaughter house products, the
former being obtained in its des-
sicated, solid form by drying the
waste blood from the packing

Austin Baker, n Cherokee Indian,
who was recently released from the
couInty Jail after serving a ye-r for
stealing a Navajo blanket, is in the
tolls again. On Tuesday, at l O'Clock
in the afternoon, he stole a horse,
which was tied at the rack ON the
west side of the Idaho Lumber COM
pony's office, and which was the
property OF al Mr. Irwin.
He rode the horse to Shelley and
there sold it to Frank Belcher, the
latter giving a check for the price of
the horse. Soon after purchasing the
horse Belcher learned that it was
stolen and the Indian, having re-
turned Ito Blackfoot, was followed by
MIN to this city. w. H. KestIer
deputy sheriff, engaged in CONVERSE
ton with the INDIAN and telling him
of the stolen horse, Offered him $50
for information that would secure
the horse The redskin told thst he
knew where the horse was, and was
them arrested and placed in jail
Wednesday, afternoon he confess ed
that he had stolen the horse, and an
effort will be made to have him tried
in a federal court and sent to the
United States prison at Leawenworoh,
Kansas. Baker is quite am artist and
has decorted the interior of the Jail
with his drawings of wild life He
is a bad actor, and seems to enjoy
life in tsil as he spends all his idle
moments trying to break in whenever
he is released.
