Value of Ieached Ashes.

IAached ashes have rarely more
than one per cent. OF potash and one
half per cent. OF phosphoric acid,
which will make them worth about
one or two dollars per ton as fertiliz-
ers, but on heavy soils they may often
be applied with profit just for the
loosening effect, and they are yalu-
able as top-drcssing or mulch in fruit
gardens.

aeroplane designed by Atwood is being
built for the fight. Details of its con
.struction are a secret, although it is
known that a device will enter into its
equipment which will make it easier to

There will be more than one engine
and more than one propeller. and they
will be available in an instant to take

Melvin Vaniman's air car. which was
constructed under his immediate d.

America. 1t is called the Akron.
The balloon envelope has seven
.thicknesses, four Of rubber and three
of cloth and is impervious to moisture.
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1912-04-24

It is 25S feet long by Al in diameter
and weighs, ready for flight. 5000
pounds.
The gas chamber will contain 400.
600 cubic feet Of hydrogen gas. The
a has light tube framework and will
support four engines which will devel.
op 317 horsepower and operate six pro.
pellers Of French walnut, set three on

10000 gallons.
Suspended from the great gas bag
by a swivel device is a noncapsizable
n%onsinkable lifeboat twenty-seven feet
long, provided with storage room for
a fifteen day store Of provisions and a
wireless apparatus Of a potentially of
800 miles.
The balloon, which Is capable Of lift
Ing $4,000 pounds, is provided with
an equilibrator of Vaniman's design,
which gives to the monster airship the
stability necessary to a long journey
under various wind conditions.
Having studied balloon mechanisms,
he believes it will be possible to make
a maximum speed of thirty miles an
hour. which, with the added speed of
the wind, will make the trip between

The Martin outfit will be big enough
to carry Martin. a companion and a

OF his hydroplane, apart from the fact
that 1t may alight in the ocean and

"Then you've been joshed."

cts always ten times as much, is
it?' asked Humpy after a little think
ing.
1--WE heard Of cases where it was a
hundred times as much"
That closed the case until the next
morning. Then one of Mrs. SINNERS
neighbors dropped in and the mother
soon said to Humpy:
Mrs. Starlight owes me a dollar,
but has no change. Take this ten dol
lar bill out and get it busted"
Humpy had tried in vain at two
places and was headed for a third
when he met an old woman with a
basket on her arm. She reached out
and grasped his arm and whined:
"Ah, but such a nice, healthy boy as
ye are!"
what do you want?" was asked,
"Just a little help to pay for medi-
cine at the drug store. I've an awful
cough when I lies down, and the drug
glst says l may go to the bad place
for all of him. Please, bubby-please.
Some day I may pay it back"
Bread upon the waters!

Here was a case right at hand. BY
giving the old woman a dollar Humpy
would make ten. He told her to wait
there and he ran to a dairy and got
ten 81 bills and returned to say:
Here's your dollar, grandma, to buy
cures for your cough"
"Oh, the darling, but you can't mean
It'll"
"But l do"
"Then may the blessings Of heaven
descend on your head!'
Humpy felt good. He had made $40
In ten minutes, while his father had
to work six days for SIS. Why not
make another SO? He walked about
until he met a man with a wooden
leg. The man did not ask for aims.
but here was a case Of misfortune.
He would have stumped past, but
Humpy stopped him with:
"Sir, don't you want a dollar:"
"I'm hanged if l don'tv' was the re-
ply. "But l might go hobbIing about
for years and not find one"
"Here is one. SIR"
"Whew! And how comes it about?'
Humpy pointed at the wooden leg
for answer.
"Ah. but you are a jewel Of a boy!

More Easy Money.
Twenty dollars ahead Of the game
in half an hour: A tramp standing
on the corner had seen the money
passed. and when Humpy came up he
was asked:
did you W peg leg anything?"
"No, sir"
"But l saw you handing over the
dough-"
That's because Of his misfortune"
ooh. l see! Well. l want you to un-
derstand that he isn't the only unfor-
tunate man in this town. Look at
me! Dying with consumption, and
yet l had to pass the night in a snow
drift. Not a morsel of food for two
days. and yet the free lunch inside
here gave me the boot. Down and
out, boy, and nothing left but my
sand. The world thinks it will give
me the double cross, but I'll fool you
all and live 100 years and get to be a
millionaire"
"I'm not down on you." said Humpy
in sympathetic tones.
THAT'S what l says to myself when
l looks you in the eye. Says I to my
self, says L:
"%'Senator, here comes a lad with
mercy and kindness in his heart. Tell
him your tale Of suffering and he will
help you out. No heart Of flint is con-
cealed in his young breast. He's help
ed many a deserving person that was

at least a dime.'"
Il was going to offer you So" said
Humpy.
The Tramp's Gratitude.
"Now listen to that and then tell
me there are no more kind hearts left
in this sinful world! Two whole dol
lars! Why, it will feed and lodge me
for Il week, and by that time my con-
sumption will be cured and l can take
my place back in the bank. When I
fell sick they turned me out like an
old horse to die"
Here's the money, sir"
"And I'll never forget it. Excuse
these tears. Ha! An idea strikes ME.
Had you just as soon save another life
at the same time?"
Eyes, sir"
II knew it. l knew it! Noble youth,
you've got something coming to YOU.
I have Il comrade who is like a brother
to me. He is also a consumptive and q
hungry unfortunate. Two dollars will
also make a new mar Of him."
Here it is"
"Thanks, thanks. I take it and fly
and pray that l may not be too late"
A Clean Job Of II.
There were tears in Humpy SINNERS
eyes as he headed for home. He had
given away Sc, and there was $50 com
ing to him besides the warm glow
Of satisfaction he was feeling. He had
retraced his steps only a block when
he met a II eyed man. The man ell
bowed him off the walk; but, instead
of calling him names and pegging a
SNOWFALL at him, Humpy called out:
unfortunate man, wait a moment!"
"Whatcher want?"
"You have lost an eye!!"
"What of it,"
II feel sorry for you, and here's ST."
"Eh, eh? -Four bones? Kid, you
have saved me from suicide. l was
just on my way to the river. You are
the stuff and no mistake, and if l don't
think Of you every half hour to the
day of my death then may 1 lose my
other eye"
"My soul, but what kept you so
longY" exclaimed Mrs. Skinner when
her hopeful finally appeared.
II have made just a hundred dollars,
mother. l took out ten and gave it
away, and it is to come back tenfold!"
Mrs. Skinner was all to blame, and
she knew she was, and yet she is lick
Ing Humpy yet. He has got at least
ninefold, and there's another coming.
