code of signals which no one on earth
knows but the person to whom I will
communicate and myself said DR..
Funk at the time. IF he receives one
of these signals after my death he Will
be absolutely certain by 1t that have
reached him.
'He will then establish communica-
ton with me, either through a desig-
mated medium or by some means which
l may find in the ext world. AS I
am a much older man than he is, there
is every probability that l will die be-
fore he does and while he is actively
engaged In his occult studies

Copenhagen, April 13.-An interest
ing Danish expedition headed by the
well-known Arctic explorer, Captain
Kock, and patronized by the king, has
started for Greenland. The party in
cludes a number of prominent scien-
fists.
The hoof and mouth disease has
done SO much damage in Denmark
that Prof. Bang found it worth while
to make thorough study of the mat
ter. He came to the conclusion that
the germs of the disease may remain
contagious as much as a year after
they are supposed to have been exter-
minated by means of the killing of the
infected cattle. In the year 1892 the
number of herds infected in Denmark
was 1913. During the next three years
only five cases occurred, all of them
in barns where the pest was supposed
to have been stamped out one year
previously. To suppose that these five
cases were due to imported germs
would be more unreasonable than to
suppose that they came from germs
remaining from the previous cases in
those places.

POINTER HERE FOR FARMER
One Good Thing, at Least, That He
May Place to the Credit OF
the Auto.

The farmer may not venerate the
automobile, but he must admit that,
although the automobile teaches 9TH
ers extravaganza. it has taught him
a very valuable lesson in economy.
Everybody knows how plant lice. or
aphis, overrun and destroy plants and
how the sole protection against plant
lice has heretofore been patent pow
dcrs more or less costly.
But of late years farmers have no.
Gced that, while all the plants in field
or garden were covered with aphis,
all the roadside growths. white with
dust from flying automobiles, had not
single aphis on them.
Hence an experiment. Turnips, peas
and cabSages were coated with ordi-
nary dust instead of costly powder.
Result. disappearance of all insect par
asites.
The automobile, in word. has
taught the farmer that dust, which
costs nothing. VII protect his plants
from plant lice and other pests just as
completely as tho most expensive
powder can.

disposed of, George w. Seibert, fore
man of the jury. related story in
which Bible figured prominently. Mr..
Siebert said that his mother had CIV

when he married. About two years
after his marriage Mr.. Siebert needed
money, he said, and had almost de-
cided to dispose of the Bible. When
such thoughts were occupying his
mind, Mr.. Selbert picked up the Bible
one day and began turning over the
leaves of the book. He had passed
over several pages when his eyes fell
on two $50 bills. His mother had
placed them in the Bible when she
had presented the book to him. Mr..
Seibert still has the Bible.-Indian-
