In all the tragic history of dis

probably none was as essential as
that which brought to an end the

ever constructed on the Western
hemisphere. Built to withstand
the storms Of the Atlantic and to
carry at least a dozen men
across the ocean to Europe, the
Akron went to her doom in calm
weather.

FOR TEST FLIGHT.

The Akron which had been in
bated last February with the gas
manufactured by Vaniman in the
big hangar at the inlet, was ia
ken out Shortly after six a. m.
for test flight, One flight al
ready has been made, about a
month ago and defects discover
ed at that time were remedied,
and today's trial was to have
been among the last prior to an
attempt to cross the Atlantic.
Mrs. Vaniman bid her hus-
band goodbye at their little cot
tage near the hangar at 2 a. m.
and waited for daybreak to see
her husband sail away.
Over the waters of Absecon in
let, Vaniman unanswered and
then sailed down over the city
and after completing few other
movements shaped the ships
course oft to sea
When half mile off Biigan-
tine Beach the thousands of
spectators watching the ship saw
a burst of flames outlined against
the morning sky. In a few sec
onds they were Mortified to see
the car balloon detach itself from
the bag and shoot downward in
to The water, followed by the
collapsed gas bag.
WIVES SEE TRAGIC FALL.
Mrs. Vaniman saw the collapse
of the balloon and the drop into
the ocean carrying with it her
husband and brother-in-law.
She fell in a faint and was IN
conscious for some time.
Friends who were with her
sent for physicians and when
she recovered she talked of her
husbands bravery.
The wives of Bourrilion, Gest
and Elmer, who lived nearby,
also saw the disaster from their
homes.
Neighbors tenderly cared for
them and later they went over to
the Vaniman cottage where a
most distressing scene followed.
Many turned away as the four
widows wept on one another S
shoulders. Mrs. Vaniman is suf-
fering with frequent fainting
spells and her condition is seri-
Gus.

SAWDUST ON THE FIELD

"Of what value is sawdust as
a fertilizer? Should it be spread
while green? Are the ashes Of
sawdust of any value?" G.. u. NJ.
Sawdust is of so little value as
a ferterlizer that it would not
pay you for the time spent in
spreading it. 1t increases the
acidity Of the soil. Green saw
dust is more injurious than when
it is well rotted. Ashes from
sawdust is of considerable value
as fertilizer.

stone is in a less available form
and the effects are not as notice

a permanent improvement Of the
soil, about two tons Of finely
ground lime stone should be APP
piled to each acre. This may be
sown on with a grain drill and
should be placed on top of the
plowcd ground; then it should be
at once worked into the soil.
