LIGHTNING FROM FOG BANK
Captain Of Pacific Coast Schooner
Tells Of Strange Bombardment
Of His Vessel.

Capt. A. Sunderberg of the steam
schooner Wasp. which plies between
Seattle and California ports, reports a
strange experience at sea on August Z.
In a report made to the Hydro
graphic office Captain Sunderberg
says that at 10 p. m, when six miles
east by south of Point Conception.
his vessel ran into thick fog bank
which hung close to the water.
Without the fog rising in the least,
a violent electric storm broke out, and
for one hour and IA minutes the blan-
ket of heavy mist was pierced contin-
ually by discharges of atmospheric
electricity and vivid flashes of angular
zigzag and forked lightning AT 1915
a. m, August s, the steel foremast of
the Wasp became charged with cleo
tricity from the top down to the spring
stay. Captain Sunderberg says this
was not the usual display of st. Elmo
fire. as the mast gave out loud reports
as If from powerful wireless appara-
tus.
While the vessel was bombarded by
lightning which coursed down her
main mast, her officers and crew did
not venture on deck.

PROPER MANNER OF
FEEDING THE CALF
Young Animal Should Be Taken
From Cow After Fourth Day
and Placed in Pen.

The calf may be left with the COW
for three or four days, or until the
milk Is fit for use. The calf should
then be taken away and placed In a
separate stable, II 1t is possible, as
the COW will give less trouble II she
cannot see her calf
BY missing one feed the calf will
usually be hungry enough to start to
drink readily and will usually give
little trouble when 1t finds the bucket
contains milk Four pounds Of milk
per feed three times day for the
first ten days will give the calf a
good start, when a small amount of
skim milk may be substituted for a
part of the whole milk, the amount
of the skim milk being increased, SO
that when the calf is a month old
1t is getting skim milk entirely When
the calf is two weeks old the feeds
may be changed to two per day. with
the amount of milk increased as the
calf shows ability to handle it. After
three weeks the calf will begin to eat
little grain. An excellent grain mix
ture for calves is made of corn meal.
oats and wheat bran in equal parts,
with a little linseed meal added
To grow calves well they should
have just what they will clean up
readily at each feed. Plenty of green
grass is good for them.
Calves should have milk until they
are five or six months old for best
results. II they are forced to subsist
on coarse feeds and grain too young
they will be stunted, as their diges-
tive system is not developed enough
to handle such food exclusively at an
early age.

FATTENING SHEEP

BY Growing Rape and Pasturing
II Intelligent Flock -0Wner

AS feeding proposition there is
none that affords better profits, con-

corn field where rape has been sowed

rape should be sowed at the last time
the corn is cultivated.
The sheep may be bought early and
pastured or fed earlier soiling crops
until the rape is ready for them to be
turned into the corn field. The Dwarf
Essex rape is the variety best adapted
for sheep pasture. About five or six
pounds of seed will afford an excellent

final cultivation of the corn field, pro-

Thirty-eight men were killed Tues
day by an explosion of coal dust in
the Vulcan mine of the Rocky Noun
tain Fuel company. Two miners were
rescued after the underground work
ings had caught fire. All the victims
were married, and all but six or eight
were Americans. Men In charge OF
the rescue work asserted that 1t
probably would be a day or two be-
fore the bodies could be recovered.
Before sundown the mine had been
cleared OF gas and a thorough e1-
ploration Of the wrecked workings
was made. Many Of the bodies were
mangled and burned.
The Vulcan mine was only about
year old and was equipped with mod
ern safety devices. It Is believed the
explosion was caused by an accumu-
lation Of dust in the west portion OF
the mine, where work practically had
been abandoned. Most Of the dead
were found in the east workings, to
which the explosion was communlcat-
ed. This fall the employees were call

CARTER GLASS CRITICISES NEW

Replies to Charges, Declaring That

Far From Hodgepodge Of Errors.

ed by Senator Root in the senate on
Saturday and retaliated with sharp
attack on Senator Root.

Senator Root Of New York charac-
terized the measure as "greenbackism

subject which he undertook to dis
cuss, he described it as proposing a
return to the reserve issues OF 1895.
''I take it that the duty OF a sen
ator to preserve the public from ma
tional harm is more than overbalanc-
ed by his moral obligation never to
sound a false alarm and never to
permit himself to be DETECTED from
the path OF strict truth to gain
point Of vantage. And. yet he did
sound false alarm and sounded It
upon information which he himself
admits he secured second hand from
another senator.

his fame as an international states

downright treason to his country"
All that have said of Frank A.

up a sharp reply to the statements
made by the New York banker, "may
be accentuated and applied to Mr..
Root. God alone knows how men
who understand the currency bill so
little as to charge it with greenback-
