MAID OF SARAGOSSA
Was the Spanish Heroine of a
WorId-Famous Siege.
Her Brilliant Part in a Military Event
Which Has Few Parallels In His
tory-Honored by Crate
full Country.

Madrid, Spain.-Every country In
the world has It's heroines as well as
It's heroes, and its heroines of war as
well as those of peace. While Molly
Pitcher, who during the revolutionary
war operated her husbands cannon
when he was stricken down, Is justly
famous In American annals and cele-
brated in prose and verse, the Maid
OF Saragossa is even more renowned
in her native country, Spain. While
Palafox was the hero, she was incom-
parably the heroine of the siege of
Saragossa, one of the most desperate
In modern history and equally daring,
Extensively and defensively. For her
brilliant services Spain made her
lieutenant in the army and bestowed
upon her many decorations. Her name
was Augustine and as a girl she was
a peddler of cool drinks in the city.
From the beginning to the end of the
siege she was ever In the heat OF con-
fict and her courage and daring
served to hearten the gallant defend
ers In the darkest hours of those
bloody months. She won the name La
Artillera from having snatched the
match from the hands of dying gun
ner and discharged the piece at the
invaders. She died In Cueta, Spain. in
1857. at a very advanced age.
The siege of Saragossa, In which
the maid distinguished herself, was
conducted by the French in 1S0S-09,
during the peninsular war. Saragos-
So was one of the cities that blocked
the success OF Napoleon's marshals
In subduing all Spain. On June Is.
1908, the French invested 1t with
force of 10000 men. Its defender was
Joseph Palafox, a youth without mill
tary experience, but who had sense
enough to associate with himself men
of martial training and courage. But
while inexperienced in war, he had the
heart Of the warrior, and when the
French general summoned him to sur
render, Palafox returned the immor-
tai reply: War to the knife and the
knife to the hilt."
The Spaniards made a gallant de-
tense of the city, worsting the French
in many bloody encounter and check

BUTTER MADE
BY ELECTRICITY
Process Invented by Two Ohio
Men Is Claimed to Produce Ar
tic1e of Superior Quality
and Without Waste.

A process of butter making by
means of electrolytic action on cream
has recently been patented by George
V. Frye and Frank b. Hinkson of Lex
ington, o.
Stated briefly, the process consists
in the massing of butter globules on
the positive electrode. which is sus
pended opposite the negative cleo
trode in receptacle containing cream,
previously cooled to counterfeit the
heating effect of the current, says the
Popular Mechanic The electrical
current not only collects the butter
globules i'm suspension and in solution
but It also has a "ripening'' action nee
essary to proper butter making.
After electrolyzed butter is collect.

the usual marketable form. The pro

Grating to Cover "WelI."

a "well'' around the trunk to keep the
soil from the bark.
Along city streets it is not feasible
TO leave large open space around the
tree, so a grating to cover the well"
is used. In the north. where trees are
injured by frost, the injury is usual
ly caused by improper pruning
which leaves unprotected wounds.
These cause cavities which fill with
water during the summer months, and
during the winter the ice formed in
them splits the trees. These cracks.

summer, but during the succeeding
winter are again subjected to freezing

only protection for such a tree Is TO

OF cement filling, and thus prevent

August 4, after a fierce cannonading.
the French stormed the place and
forced their way through the walls.
Then followed a week Of most des-
perate fighting, carried on in the
streets and from house to house; and
the French troops, brave as they were
and admirably led and equipped, were
forced to retreat and raise the siege.
Palafox and his men at once began
making preparations for the second
siege which they knew would come
On December 20 a French army Of
10000 picked soldiers under Marshals
Money and Mortier encamped before
the walls and at once began a vigorous
prosecution of the siege. Finally the
French were successful at all points
and the city wall for one-third its
length was captured.
But though the wall of the town was
in possession Of the besiegers their
troubles were only really beginning
Every house, every street, in the city
was a stronghold in itself. The French

were met with dauntless courage at
every turn. Pestilence long before had
broken out among the defenders, but
though they were dying by the hun
dreds every day from disease and bull

1S a grand assault was made by the
besiegers. The city was on fire in a
dozen places and the dead lay I'M

The hopelessness of the struggle
had now, however, become apparent
TO the Spaniards and the city was sur
rendered. The garrison, reduced to
IL. 900 men, were accorded all the hon
ors of war. During the siege 10000

ease. Palafox, the brave defender, in
violation of the terms of equalization,

France. Later he returned to Spain.

METHODS OF
SOME TREES
EIms Fit Themselves Nicely Into
Hedges and Suckers Push Up
on All Stdes-SquirreIs
Plant Haze15.

Trees which have their own indiv!d-
ual methods of reproduction are inter
esting The way of the elm Is one of
the most remarkable, because the elm
actually makes hedges, or rather 1t
fits in with our English methods of
bordering our trees and roads with
hedges, and in a very accommodating
way help us with material.
The habit of the elm is to send out
it's roots in every direction and then
TO push up suckers from its spreading
roots, says the London Spectator.
When an elm seeds itself or is planted
in a hedgerow and becomes estab-
lished there it sends out its roots and
pushes up its suckers on all sides of
it, but except on two sides the young
suckers get killed; they are trodden
down in the path or cut up by the
pillow or gnawed down by grazing ami
mails.
But they flourish on each side of the
elm In the direction in which the
hedge runs, and they kill out the other
trees In the hedge, till at last posi-
bly, the hedge is all elm. Then If the
hedge Is not cut or partly cut the
strongest suckers grow up and become
trees themselves and carry on the
process.
Other trees instead of being killed
down by animals get helped and plant
ed. Squirrels carrying off hazenuts
and burying them for private consump-
ton later frequently forget where
they have put them. and so plant
countless hazels every year.
Trees with berries, such as hollies,
wild roses, elders and yews, have
their seeds swallowed and carried
about in different directions by birds
and from the trees point of view there
must be good and bad seasons as re-
CARDS the sowing or planting Last
winter, for instance, must have been
a poor one for holly planting. Birds
do not really like holly berries and
will not eat them when they can get
other berries or when the weather Is
warm and open SO that in mild win
ter like the last comparatively few
holly berries can have been eaten and
sown.

NOT AS BAD AS 1T SOUNDED
Wonderful Highland Dialect Respon-
slhls for Wrong Impression
Given Divine.

Andrew Carnegie, at a dinner In
New York, talked about the Scotch
dialect.
ITS hard lingo to understand" he
said. 1T often causes awkward mis-
takes.
"Once an American divine spent
Christmas In a Highland Inn. On
Christmas morning he gave the maid
a tip of a sovereign. and he said. look
ing earnestly at her-for she was a
pretty maid
do you know, Kathleen. you are a
very good-looking lassie?'
"Of course Kathleen was pleased,
but, being modest, she blushed like a
rose and answered:
"'Ah. ma! All. ma! But my kissin,
sir, is beautiful!
The divine frowned.
Leave the room, you wicked
young baggage! he said sternly.
HE didn't know. you see, that mod
est Kathleen had ben simply praising
in her Highland dialect, the superior
charms of her cousin Janet of Pee
bles."

The Shadow Of Science.

It is hard to believe that a shadow
is probably the origin of all astronom-
zeal, geometrical and geographical
science. The first man who fixed his
staff perpendicularly in the ground
and measured its shadow was the
earliest computer of time, and the
Arab of today who plants his spear in
the sand and marks where the shadow
falls is his direct descendant. 1t is
from the shadow of a gnomon that
the early Egyptians told the length
Of the year. 1t is from the shadow of
a gnomon that the inhabitants of Up
per Egypt still measure the hours of
work for a water wheel. In this case
the gnomon is lhurra stalk support
ed on forked uprights and points north
and south. East and west are pegs
In the ground, evenly marking the
space of earth between sunrise and

shine a shadow was the primitive
chronometer. 1t was also the print
tive foot rule.

A famous physician on being asked

less introspection in which so many

A Deadly Error.

DIR. W. b. Cannon of Harvard dis

department conducted by a young col
