THE 18TH

Have we adequate data upon
which to base an hypothesis that
when the week day Friday is like
wise the thirteenth day of the
month, circumstance of the most
untoward character portends?
While, primarily, it would be
highly unscientific to instance any
happenig of such a day and date
as governed in the least by super
natural phenomena, at the same
time it is not unreasonable to as
sumo that the working out of
certain laws of chance may lead
the investigator to the adoption
of such an error. The philosophy
of such laws is based upon funda-
mental principles that obviously
require the adoption of an arbi-
trary rule. In this case the work.
ing out of the rule in actual hap
pening has not sustained the So
called theory of bad luck" that
is popularity held.
/ may be pardoned for my
positiveness when / declare there
is absolutely no basis for such a
theory.
That thirteen digits expressed
by single symbol tend toward
misfortune to a greater degree
than the individual components is
absurd.
Equally it is absurd to pretend
that the fifth day of the week has
elements of misadventure not to
be found on the first or seventh
or any other days.
Not even rigid application of
the laws of chance admits the
acceptance of such belief.
Therefore, considering these
facts and their influence on af-
fairs, l would say that the as
sumption of ane assumption of an
hypothesis that Friday the thir-
teenth is unlucky gives evidence
only of a weakened mental condi-
ton and an absolute incapacity
for Independent, or even sustain
ed, original thought.

WOODS SCORES
Department OF
PUBLIC SAFETY

Commissioner Woods is tired
of having the city pay salaries to
employees who are not on duty.
Commissioner. Mills has been
off at an Odd Fellows coIfyen-
ton all week. Mrs. Covell, the
public morals officer, has not been
on duty at all for several weeks,
much of the time being out of
town. Other city officials and
employees have been off duty more
or less with increasing frequency
of late.
When a man is elected to a job
in the city he ought to stay here
and attend to it. Things are OF
right in "a department here and
no one is on hand to LOOK after
it." said Woods this morning.

MORO BATTLE
In CRATER
OF VOLCANO

WASHINGTON, D. c., June Is.
"A thrilling story of a fierce bat
tie in the crater of volcano
with Moros. in which Captain
Taylor Nichols of the Philippine
scouts and three others were kill
ed, was told today in fragment
airy reports to the war depart
ment from Manila.
There has been no fiercer bat
tie since the American occupa-
tion," cabled General Pershing.
Retreating under fire of the
Americans, the Moros took refuge
in forts and trenches on the pre-
cipitous sides of volcano. The
Americans followed, and drove
the tribesmen from the position.
The motive losses is unknown.

GRINDING GRAIN FOR STOCK
No Set Rule Can Be Given, as Con-
ditions vary-Soy Beans Are
Preferably Fed Soaked.

The Michigan experiment station
concludes. as a rule, stock should
be allowed to do their own grinding
as the saving in feed Is taken up by
the cost of grinding. However. in
some cases grinding or soaking
should be resorted to. Barley should
not be fed whole and. dry. Soy beans
are preferably fed ground or soaked,
Then, when 1t is desirable to use
certain grains in mixtures with such
feeds as cottonseed meal, or bran
middlings or other commercial ma
terials, grindings may be preferable
So, we can come to no strict rule
about grinding grain for feeding
Usually the margin is close; in one
case farmer may lose by not grind
ing; in another he may lose (the cost
of grinding) by grinding.

Peculiar Method of Trading InduIged
In by New Guinea Tribe Who
Keep to Themselves.

No European has even been able to
meet in their own dwelling-placa the
Kukuhuhus. shy, yet ferocious tribe
of New Guinea. Other tribes of the
country, while they have great fear
of the Kukuhuhus, manage to do a
bartering trade with them. They bring
salt, earthenware, dried fish, etc, and
deposit them in certain indicated
place. They then retire for a few
hours, being notified to do SO by a
curious cry from the distance. The
mountain dwellers then descend to
view the goods offered for sale. If
they want them they put down other
goods, such as skins, feathers, and
other jungle produce. next to those
articles wanted by them. Then they
retire in turn, and when the way
seems clear the coast dwellers ap-
proach again. II the latter are salts
fled with what is offered In exchange.
they take the goods put down by the
mountain people and go away; If not

Floating Factories in India.

Floating factories have become an
important part of the development OF
the forest resources of India. In Ger.
tain parts of that country the forests
are only accessible through the water
courses, and the great expense OF
erecting land plants for the utilization
of the lumber resources makes such
a course impracticable. Therefore
sawmills and other manufacturing es,
Establishments are built on floating
platforms and moved up the streams
as they are needed. After the lumber

BIG FLYING BOAT is FAST
MecormIck's Craft Covers More Than
Mile Minute In Hammonds-
port, N. ", Trial.

Hammondsport. N. Y-Harold F.
McCormick's big flying boat, designed
by Glenn H. Curtiss. was tried out
here and proved successful beyond
Curtiss' expectations. The new flying
boat is large and heavy, as compared
with previous machines OF this type
built in America. 1t has a spread of
more than 40 feet and weighs, when
loaded. considerably more than ton.
The power plant consists of motor
weighing more than 800 pounds and
developing log horse power. 1t was
expected that the boat would be sea-
worthy, but not particularly fast. The
trials proved that 1t would make more
than mile a minute flying In the air
and about SO miles an hour when used
as a motor boat in the water.
Mr.. Curtiss made the first trip. ac-
companied by L. A. Villas of Chicago
and another flying boat owner. With
in hundred yards from the starting
point the boat rose from the water
and sailed gracefully down the lake.
1t is said to be McCormick's inten-
tion to use the Tying boat between his
office in Chicago and his home at Lake
Forest, 25 miles distant. The Nc
mick boat was taken back to the fac
tory for the final touches and will be
ready for shipment to Chicago within
a short time.

House Plants in Summer.

When the hot weather of summer Is
at hand. we must not permit our out
of-door activities to cause US to neg
lect our house plants.
The best place for grown folks, chill
dren and all living things during the
summer is outdoors, where the SUM-
shine and the fresh air can strengthen
and heal, making ready for the next
winter season.
OF course, the closer to natural con-
ditions they are during the normal
growing season, the better growth the
plants will secure and the finer plants
we will have for the house next win
ter.
When danger from late frosts has
surely passed. take less expensive
plants, the geranium. the foliage
plants and others of their kind. and
transplant them. Put them in good.
rich. deep, loamy beds If you can. or
In window boxes If the beds are una
vailable. Give them lots of sunshine.
SO that the stalks and foliage will grow
rank and strong.
In transplanting. spade up the bed
to depth of at least foot, pulverize
the soil finely, mixing in fine. we'll
rotted stable manure. and set the
plants In the ground half an Inch
deeper than they were in the pots.
Pack the earth firmly about them after
setting. 1t will do no harm to remove
some of the old earth. but the roots
cannot be pruned or broken off to any
great extent, unless you prune back
the foliage to an equal extent.
Water the plants as soon as they
are set, and water them every other
day, at least doing the watering when
the sun is not hot.
If it is desired to have the Towering
plants bloom early and profusely.
pinch off the ends of half the
branches, SO that the energy OF the
plant will go to the flowers. Most
people prefer to postpone the bloom
ing period until winter, however, and
this can be accomplished by pinching
off the flower buds during the sum-
mer, as soon as they appear. The re-
suit will be heavy growth of stalk
and leaf during the growing season,
and profuse blooms during the winter
indoors.
Tropical and semi-tropical plants,
such as palms, cacti and rubber plants,
usually are too expensive to risk on
the lawn, and 1t is well to change the
earth in their pots and place them in
sunny position on the porch. Ferns
chould have 4 cool. shady damp loca-
ton during the summer.
If your plants have to be kept in the
house, water frequently and beware of
plant lice and red spider. The former
attach themselves to the stems and
under the surface of the leaves. Spray
them with tobacco water. Plain wa
ter sprayed on daily will help the
plant and drive the red spiders away
IN a very short length of time.

MAY GROW "RAINLEss WHEAT"
Or. Macdonald, South African Expert,
Claims to Have Made the New
Discovery.

London.-Dr. Macdonald of the
South African department of agricul-
ture declares that it is now possible
to grow "rainless wheat"-that is
to say, crop upon which no single
drop of rain has fallen between seed
time and harvest. 1t does not main
tain it's existence without moisture.
but all that Is necessary is obtained
from the deposit of a previous season
in moisture saving fallows."
This would mean great boon for
those areas where the rainfall ID un-
certain and irrigation. for various rea-
sons, impossible.
