DEATH BY FALLING.
Pain and Fear Seem to Have No Place

It is difficult to imagine a more hOr
rible accident than falling with az
airshlp. yet in the opinion of a Ger.
man psychologist. Fritz Kahn. death
resulting from such a fall is not ex-
ceptionally painful, says the New
York Evening Post He argues that
It is likely TO be met in a state of in
difference or even an agreeable half
conscious condition OF mind. He wit
messed the fall Of Heim-a fall which
lasted a number of seconds, as the
airship futtered to and fro like a
piece of paper before the final descent
The distance was about eighty yards

his awakening in the hospital was

how long he could stand It, felt no
pain and came to the conclusion that

the least disagreeable ways of ending

sand Woodmen of the World congregated
here to attend the introduction into the
mysteries of one of the greatest frater-

of Missouri stood higher than Mississippi
in membership, but that she had now
lost that position and takes her station
below Mississippi; and that if any stat

CONWCTs WILL MAKE CANE
Penitentiary Authorities Will Go Into
Making of Syrup as a Commercial
Proposition Next Season.

Acknowledgment Mccoy of the Ran
kin convict farm states that of the TWEEN
ty acres planted this year in ribbon cane
at the Rankin farm, it had been decided
to bank" eighteen acres of it for seed
for the next year in order to have enough
to carry out the extensive program laid
out by the board Of trustees relative to
the making of molasses. 1t may be that
the other two acres will be saved for
seed instead of grinding it, as the Ran
kin farm has IS barrels of prime syrup
left from last year.
Some of this last years syrup is be-
ginning to sugar, and in the bottoms of
the barrels there is a considerable guam
tity of it. Sergeant Mccoy is thinking
of emptying the syrup out and draining
the sugar and using it instead of buying
sugar for the farm.
The penitentiary management is 60
ing to devote a great deal Of space next
year to the growing of sugar cane and
manufacturing molasses, the surplus to
be sold, and there is a splendid profit
in it. The Oakley and Rankin farms,
both Of them badly boil weevil ridden
have land especially suitable to sugar
cane and a large acreage will be planted
there.
