Leading In Defalcations.

Once more Europe has demonstrate
ed that when it comes to defalcation
this country shrinks from it's magnifi-
cent dimensions. Our natural re-
sources, our private fortunes, our
railroad accidents, and murder statis-
tics may be unapproachable, but we
rarely produce colossal embezzlers
like the French citizen who is &C.
cused of making away with more than
six million of other peoples dollars.
Nor is the case of NJ. Deperdussin an
isolated instance. There is the re-
cent affair of the Belgian railway di-
rector whose stealings ran into many
millions, and not long before him

Of splendid proportions. No need to

the most interesting examples.-NeW

the professor started in surprise, to
see that he was looking into the face
OF a comely young woman who carried
a baby.

And she thrust a blinking bundle into

Professor Barry had never held

why POISSON Ivy Is Poisonous.

Poison ivy has long been a mystery
both to scientists and laymen; why
and in what manner it causes the Pc
culiar rash and irritating Inflammation
have puzzled both botanists and ply
sicians. At last the reason has been
discovered. Doctor Mirande of Paris
read to the academy of sciences in
that city recently the esult of his
study of the poisonous weed.
Poison ivy contains lirussic acid.
This is found principally IN the young
leaves and buds; In older leaves there
is very little of it.
In three and one-half. ounces of
young leaves there is aboLt quarter
of a grain of the acid.
As in other plants In which prussic
acid is found, the poisonous substance
does not exist in its perfect form, but
| developes as soon as the leaves are
bruised, a chemical action being set
up through the union OF al engine
with a glucosid.

REALLY FRIENDS OF FARMER
Sparrow, by It's Consumption Of Weed
Seeds, Saves AgricuIturists {m-
rnense Sums Yearly.


One of the most useful groups Of
native birds is the sparrow family
While some of the tribe wear gay
suits OF many hues, most OF the spar
rows are clad in modest brown tints,
and as they spend much of the time
in grass and weeds are commonly
overlooked. Unobtrusive as they are.
they lay the farmer under a heavy
debt of gratitude by their food habits,
since their chosen fare consists large
~ Of the seeds of the weeds. Selecting
a typical member of the group, the
tree sparrow for instance, one-fourth
ounce of weed seed per day is con-
sentative estimate Of the food Of an
adult. On this basis. in a large agricul-
tural state like Iowa tree sparrows an
nually eat approximately SIS tons Of
weed seed.
Some idea of the money value of
this group of birds to the country may
be gained from the statement that the
total value of the farm products in the
United States in 1910 reached the
amazing sum Of sS.926, 100000 If we
estimate that the total consumption OF
weed seed by the combined members
of the sparrow family resulted in q
saving of only one per cent of the
crops-not violent assumption-the
sum saved to farmers by these birds
in 1910 was $50, 260, 900.

EGGS WILL KEEP LONGEST WHEN INFERTILE

practically control deterioration. A
small percentage of eggs, probably
represented by the 3 per cent that
were second class, are second class
eggs when they are laid. For the
present, at least, it is beyond the con-
troll of the farmer to eliminate this
small percentage of loss. Il is so
small as to be almost negligible.
In answer to the question as to
what to do with the male birds during
any but the breeding season, would
reply that in my judgment the best
practice for the farmer is to purchase
strong, vigorous, pure bred coGkerels
Of the breed he prefers each year and
mate them with the breeding flocks
of hens about the mkdIe Of February.
When the breeding season is over,
dispose Of them Get them off the
farm. Unless an artificial and in
flated purchase price has been given,
the farmer will have gotten his money
back in the flock of strong young
chicks that are coming on. The best
breeding year for a male bird is the
first year When the first season is
over, turn him off on the market for
what he will bring There is no OBJ
ject in keeping him around to spoil
the market value Of eggs by fertiliz-
ing them and to eat up feed. a new
bird Of different stock will be needed
for the following year

But a woman gave it TO me-" plead
ed Professor Barry dismaIly. The
mental picture Of Imprisonment proved
overwhelming. He saw himself dis
graced, expelled from the society Of
his friends, thrown out of the college.
"Oh, for five minutes OF Miss John

Tell that to the judge. Are you
coming quietly, or"
Suddenly the crowd parted, as waves
are cut by a keel, and then, quietly,
placidIy, without the least effort, and
perfectly cool and collected, Miss John
son appeared at the policeman's side.
IT'S all right" she said, smiling
Just a mistake, Frank. This is Pro
lessor Barry of whom have often told

Then what's he doing with a

Hceman obviously.

strange baby, it's your baby" said
Miss Johnson, smiling. Don't you
know your own child?"

man, and would have dropped it had
not Miss Johnson deity caught it. 1T

How did he get it? Where's my Polly

crowd and snatched the child hysteric-

with the saleswoman, Frank, and she

couldn't resist taking her, and then
she was afraid to restore her, SO she

he looked absent-minded. Professor

Professor Barry, too stupefied to an

through the dissolYing crowd and
half and hour later Miss Johnson de

| The professors arms went up just as
the baby's had done, and he caught
Miss Johnson by the sleeve.

almost without exception are proving
very favorable.
Until recent years it was considered
impracticable and too expensive to
irrigate by pumping from the under
flow, if the lift was more than % feet,
but now with the improved pumps and
cheap oil engines which produce power
at a cost of one-fourth 20 one-half
cents per horse power hour, many
farmers are pumping against a head
OF more than 70 feet and doing it at a
cosk sufficiently low to make this
system of irrigation give satisfactory
returns.
The government census for 1910
credits Kansas with 1893 acres
capable of being irrigated; that is,
this amount of land had been devel-
oped so that water could be applied,
and plants to irrigate 21,305 acres
more were under construction. At
that time only 6S4 pumping plants
had been installed. Since 1910, how
ever, a large number of plants have
been put in. But the areas irrigated
by these new plants are small, so that
probably there is not over 100. O60
acres developed sufficiently so that it
can be watered. In my judgment the

Youthful HyPnotist Might Have Sue
ceeded, but Savage Brute Refused
to Lend Aid.

Jack the Lion Tanner" a ten-year-
could subdue the widest of wild
beasts by looking them in the eye,
had a narrow escape from serious in
jury in the Central park menagerie at
New York when he tried to hypnotic
Dick, the savage Siberian tiger.
Dick was lying near the iron bars
of the outer cage when the young lion
tanner came along. The boy had been
caught pulling a lions tail several
times this summer and had been
warned of the danger.
He got inside the railing, approach
ing the tigers cage, and put a hand
and arm between the bars. Then he
called to Dick as he would to a dog,
while looking him in the eyes.
The big tiger hasn't lost any of his
savage nature since arriving at the
park, and when he saw the arm in
his cage his muscles stiffened fol-
action. His ears went back and his
lips curled. A group of men stood
near, but no one warned the boy OF
his peril.
The lad thought he had the beast
subdued and was bringing his hand
closer and closer. Keeper George
Sichert happened to go outside and
seeing the situation, grabbed the boy
by the collar and pulled him back just
as the tiger leaped toward the boys
| hand.
One of Dicks claws tore the boys
index finger. The keeper gave him {
lecture and expelled him from the
menagerie.
