Early Cold Injuries
Crops Of Michigan
Wheat Promises but Half a Crop,
Hay one-third, and Fruit
Outlook Is Poor.

LANSING, MICH, June 2s.-Mich-
igan Agricultural College field men
and district supervisors report crop
prospects of the State the poorest in
years, due to the early cold, wet sea-
son and late frosts, followed by the
present hot dry weather.
Wheat promises little better than
half crop, hay one-third, oats one
half. Early potatoes have been badly
frosted in sections and will not pro-
duce over one-quarter crop without
rain.
Fruit is equally poor. Plums and
grapes are expected to be about 80 or
40 per cent Of a crop.

STAR OF BETHLEHEM N
American Woman In London Revives
Theory That Magi Followed a
Wanderer.

London.-A theory Of what the Star
Of Bethlehem really was, was adj
vanced by Mrs. John Hardness (Belle
Harpster Hartness), a prominent men,
Der of the American circle in Lon
don and representative at large Of the
League of American Pen Women at
Washington, at q lecture delivered by
her recently at the University Of Lon
don.
Taking the scriptural narrative as
substantially correct, Mrs. Hardness
dealt with the theories already put
forward. and showed they all fell
short of the facts as recorded. Basing
her theory on the story of st. Andrew,
Mrs. Hartness showed hat the Magi
had been expecting a star to appear,
that this particular star followed a
prescribed course, that it shone for a
long time, the lecturer argued that
it must have been a comet which the
wise men Of the east saw and fol-
lowed.
A comet is the only celestial body
which fulfills every particular as re-
corded. When this theory was sub
mitted to Professor B~ickerton, a we'll
known New Zealand astronomer, he
said that If his own theory of a new
star were disproved he would accept
the theory of a comet.

FISH VICTIMS OF RAIL WRECK
peculiar Accident on English Line
Caused Death Of Hundreds Of
the Finny Tribe.

To associate the killing Of hundreds
OF trout with a railway accident seems
strange, but such was the case at Oke-
hampton, England. some weeks since.
1t happened in this wise:
Two tanks Of "vitriol' were stand
ing at the extreme end Of a siding
against the stop blocks, overlooking
the public roadway, when, by some
oversight on the part Of the switch
man, a locomotive and trucks smashed
into them, knocking down the block
and sending the tanks crashing into
the roadway.
The cover of one Of the tanks flew
off, and cores OF gallons Of the wit
riop' rushed down the hill, running
into the gratings. and finally into the
town river.
Then the execution began, large
trout, little fellows. cells, stickles-in
fact, every living thing for miles met
a violent death.
1t was noticed that some of the cells
in their death throes wriggled far up
the river bank, and in some large
ponds the dead could be counted in
hundreds.

Pond Home.

Harwich Centre, Mass.-Miss Sarah
D. Robbins caught a large pickerel
and a small baby muskrat with a sin
gle hook. She took a fishing pole and
a few fresh water minnows and went
to a small lake just outside the vii
lage. 1t was not long before Miss Rob-
bins hauled in half a dozen fine pick
erel.
The seventh, however, was the
largest Of all. While dressing it and
preparing it for dinner, Miss Robbins
was very much surprised to find inside
the big fish a small muskrat; it was
about the size of a mouse. Although
in a stupefied condition, the animal
soon came to life again. Miss Rob-
bins turned to inspect the other fish
she had caught, and while her back
was turned. the muskrat made a bee
line for a mud pond near the house
and disappeared beneath the surface
before Miss Robbins could capture It
again.
Miss Robbins Is going fishing again.

ing up at the wall, they could see a
deep gouge and scratch, and on the
ground a twelve-inch length Of rail.
How 1t got there was a subject Of
immediate discussion, but there was
no solution unless some person of un-
usual strength had hurled it from the
swiftly passing train. Then some
one noticed it was smooth and glis-
tenedo on the surface, as If it had been
freshly run over, This led the dis
cusslon to the track. which was fifty
feet away, and there it was immedi-
ately discovered that the end of a rail
had been torn away. The broken end
fitted IN exactly.
Later It was decided that the en-

rest Of the train had passed over the
gap. It seems Impossible, but there

Railroads in Mikado's Realm.

the mikado and prominent officials
taking part in the ceremonies. The
Introduction of this method of trans
portation was viewed with supersti-

but their fear and wonder soon gave
way to a general recognition of the
value Of the innovation. During the
following 20 years all Nippon was
girded with steel rails. Japan now has
a total of about 5000 miles of rail
roads built at a cost of about $500, O0O.-
GOO, or about $4,000 per mile. This
is much less than the average cost of
railroads in America and Europe, and
more than a third less than the cost of
construction of the railroads of the
United States and Canada. Within the
last decade there has been great i'm
provement in Japanese railways. and
travel in that country has been rem
dered as comfortable, and almost as
luxurious, as in America and Europe

Ballybunion Monorail.
On its single track, raised on a tres

and freight are carried from Bally-

the remarkable time of five minutes.
The monorail on which It's strange To-
