Explosion and Fire Wreck Huge
DlrIgib|e While Flying.
Wives of Four Men See Ship Break
Into Flame and Plunge 1000
Feet to Earth.

Atlantic City, N. Mrs. Vaniman
and the wives of three members Of the
dirigible balloon Akron's crew, stand
cottage near Brigantine beach, early
Thursday, saw the great dirigible ex-
plode and then dart down from midair,
carrying their husbands to death in
nine feet of water in about a second.
The women screamed and covered
their faces and Mrs Vaniman tainted,
but all shortly recovered and rushed
with 1000 other spectators toward the
place where the balloon fell, killing
Vaniman and four Others
AS the mighty dirigible plunged
itself from the blazing mass and fall
into the water 80 feet from where the
balloon sank. 1t was recovered by
Councilman Harry Cook and A. T.
Bell, who put out in motor boat, and
was identified as that of Calvin Vani-
man, brother of Melvin. The center
dynamo and the badly mutilated and
burned condition of the body showed
that the main force of the explosion
must have been directly opposite the
middle of the car.
William Hill, United States revenue
official, who saw the accident, said:
1--WE were watching the big ship
closely, remarking upon the beautiful
spectacle, the morning sun making
the huge bag glisten like gold, when
noticed whirl of smoke at the stern.
| remember glancing at my watch and
noting that it was exactly 6:42. The
ship was between 700 and 800 feet
up, in my estimation
"The smoke gained in volume and
the ship seemed to stagger. The
smoke continued to increase for a
minute or two, running apparently
the whole length of the engine room
beneath the great bag, and then there
was frightful concussion, like the
firing of a great gum
"The next instant the ship appeared
to be a great mass of fame 1t
seemed to me that the stern had been
entirely blown out. Then l saw the
whole thing was tumbling down to the
sea and closed my eyes, There was
a great uprising of gas and flames and
then it was all over, but the folds OF
the big yellow bag just visible above
the sea"
Captain Frank Adams, of the lighi
house, and Captain Frank Doughey, Of
Inlet Fleet. were among the first tx

found only tangled wreckage and NJ

THIEF REFUSES $40. 900.
Says He Is Unable to Earn Big Re-

San Diego, Cal--C- r. Riese, con-
fessed diamond thief, awaiting ar
raignment in Superior court to plead

GUS jewels stolen from Mrs. Eugene de
Saba the night of the Mardi Gras ball
in San Francisco are hidden. The
offer to REESE was made through Chief
of Police Wilson and Chief of Detec-
tives Myers. These officers claim the
jewels are insured for $50, 900 and
that reward Of $40, 900 is offered for
their recovery.
They offered to divide with Riese if
he would confess. Riese maintains he
had no hand in the De Saba robbery.
Officers know that REESE, Paul Sobie
and Margaret Ward Manners were in
San Francisco at the time of the rob-
berry at the St. Francis hotel. They
claim they have knowledge that Riese
knows where the jewels are hidden.
"There is nothing to be gained by
keeping anything back, " said REESE te
the officers. 81 have come through
clean with everything know, and if
knew anything about the De Sabls
diamonds or of the crime l would tel
it. Ten thousand dollars is lot o.
money, but / cannot get it because

How Much Water 2

It Is q safe rule to provide i've
pounds of water for every pound Of
milk that the COW gives This will
mean that at least IL gallons q day
should be supplied. Cases have been
known where a COW would drink rs
or 80 gallons per day in the warmsst
weather. Such a COW, however, Will
produce 10000 or 1900 pounds Of
milk year. The supply should be
as liberal accordingly In the winter as
in the summer. Always the water
should be pure and in the winter 1t
should be warmed to at least so de-
grees. 1t is cheaper to warm the wa
ter with a tank heater than to make
the cow do the work with alfalfa and
high price concentrates.

Chicago, July a.-Twenty deaths in

In addition there were half hundred
serious prostrations and 18 persons

Meanwhile the heat wave has flat

The suffering in the cities meant the
fortunes of the farmers.
The temperature today did not reach
yesterdays extreme height and the
humidity was II, or four degrees be-
low that of yesterday, but men and
horses continued to drop in the
streets, which were like hot tunnels.
Some relief came in the afternoon,
when shifting winds brought a light
breeze off the lake. 1t was confined
to that portion of the city within q
half mile of the lake front, however,
as the breeze was 80 light it lost its

Laying Drains.

In laying tile drains, Prof. E. o.
Ffppin of the New York State Agri-
cultural college. says the main drains
should be large enough to provide for
future expansion. For the lateral
drains never use anything less than
three or three and one-half inches In
diameter. In clay soils he recon-
mends laterals not over 80 feet apart
and at depth of two and onehalf to
three feet The denser the soil the
more shallow the drains must be laid
In laying drains in clay 1t should be
done In summer, when the land is
dry. and be sure the clay is dried

HarrowIna Planted corn.

Narrowing corn after 1t is planted
is looked upon by the Wisconsin ex-
pertinent station as somewhat haz-
ardous, because the harrow is sure to
injure some Of the hills After the
farmer has planted his corn he can
not AFFORD to lose any portion OF his
field through unwise cultivation.
Planting corn more thickly will not
compensate for the loss as the har-
row does not strike all hills alike,
and Is too liable to leave too many
stalks In one hill and too few In an
other. Narrowing before planting Is
the better practice Cultivate after
