TO TAKE PLANT IMPRESSIONS
TWO Methods That Result In Pictures
Which Closely Resemble Good
Steel EngraVInas.

Here is a way to take Impressions
Of plants which will resemble steel en-.
cravings. Two of them, in fact; take
your choice.
The first method is to take half
sheet of fine woven paper and cover
its surface with sweet oil; let 1t stand
a moment or two, rub of the super
fiuous oil and hang it in the air. When
it is fairly dry, move it slowly over
the flame of candle, lamp or gas
burner (caution) until it is quite
black, lay the plant or leaf on 1t,
place a clean piece Of paper on top
and rub equally with the fingers for
about half minute; then take up the
plant and place 1t on the paper on
which 1t Is desired to leave an impress
sion. Cover it with a piece OF blot
ting paper and rub a before. The
engraving-ltke impression win then
appear.
BY the second method, burn a com
mon cork until 1t is reduced to d
powder, add teaspoonful of olive oil
and mix into a thick paste. Next
paint the under side of the leaf with
camel's hair bush. lay the leaf care
fully, painted s.de down, upon piece
Of clean paper, press it in book I'M
der strong and even weight for
about quarter Of an hour and remove
the leaf carefully from the paper. AS
before, the impression win appear
thereon.

MRS. JAS. COLEMAN
FACED ROBBER
WIFE OF CITY WEIeHMAsTERI
FACED Ro5RER ALONE in HER
HOUSE THIS MORNING IN
BROAD DAYLloHT-THlEF HAD
STOLEN WATCH.

The residence of James Coleman, the
city weighmaster. at liz Tenth street
north, was entered this morning at
about 1890 o'clock and robbery at
tempted in broad daylight. Mrs. Cole
man was in the house alone at the
time and was suddenly confronted by
the daring burglar just as she was
passing into a bedroom. She had suf-
ficient presence OF mind to reach for
her husbands gun from the place it
is kept in the chamber and force the
man to retreat.
Mrs. Coleman was out on her porch
when the entrance to the house was
gained by the man at the rear. She
was sewing and had an occasion to go
into her bedroom for another supply
of thread.
AS she came into the room she was
startled by the presence of strange
man. She asked him what he was do
Ing and what he wanted there The
man looked trifle embarrassed and
stated that he had come to see them.
mo you haven't" she exclaimed and
with quick movement she reached for
her husbands gun, which she pointed
at the burglars face. Until that mo-
ment she did not notice that he held
anything in his hands. but when he
was confronted by the gun, he threw
something on the floor, and made
dash for the rear entrance of the
house.
Mrs. Coleman followed him quickly
and saw him run out of the yard and
up the alley. BY the time she had
reached the back fence, he had COM
pletely disappeared. She telephoned
her husband at the police station i'm
mediately, and the police department
has started out in search of the man,
but no clue had been found at o'clock
this afternoon.
When she returned to the scene of
the action, Mrs. Coleman found her
gold watch on the floor, which was the
object the man had thrown down as
ne ran from the room when she point
ed the revolver at him. The depart
ment is becoming quite alarmed with
the frequency with which these hold
ups are occurring in the city and with
the daring of the men who make such
attempts.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Eveninu Grain Letter

Chicago. Aug. A.--Wheat: The mar
ket opened fractionally lower, but
turned strong and so continued dur
ing the balance OF the session. The
northwestern news was most insistent
regarding rust damage and their mar
kets again led in strength. Winnipeg
was particularly strong and there
seems to be good reason to believe that
rust damage Is extending to Canada
but In addition to this possioihty
there is considerable fear expressed
regarding the Canadian crop owing 70
it's lateness. 1t seems quite evident
that the rust damage is serious
enough to at least have a firm enect
on prices, ana this fact coupled with
the strong conditions abroad will I'M
doubtedly result in higher prices.

When Express Train Jumped from Via

should have slowed down.
