RAISE ORCHIDS ON THE FARM
Many Species of This Beautiful Flow
er Will Bloom During the
Entire Year.

Many think orchids are only for the
rich, or that they must have houses
built especially for them. However,
this is an error, for there are some
exquisite orchids that can be bought
as cheaply as a palm or fern, and may
be grown in the home window garden.
Orchids are divided roughly into
two groups-epiphyta and terrestrial
The former grow on trees or rocks
and the latter on the ground Florists
will send the epiphytal orchid prop
erly fastened to wood. and the proper
potting material for the ground or.
chids
These curious plants require light,
but not sunlight, air. but not even a
hint of frost. They want plenty of
water and Swinging but ample drain
age during the growing season. After
the plants have matured their growth,

enough to keep the bulbs from shriv,
cling. If insects trouble them sponge
with soap and water
The following orchids are suited to
amateur collections, and will bloom
all year. The cattleyas are most beau.
tiful and their flowers will last a long
time if not injured by water. The
tropical lady slippers include many
colors and all are curiously beautiful.
SINNERS lycasta, the butterfly orchid,
the Epiderdrum vitellinum majus

blocks, the invaders continued
the struggle forward.
Continued from page !

Ravines, woods and winding roads
afforded some natural cover. but the
superbly courageous charges of the
Belgian cavalry rendered this protec-
ton of little use. There was a con-
tinual pyrotechnic display visible from
Liege and the incessant artillery fire
shook the ground as if the whole world
was splitting ssunder.
Mingled with these weird horrors
were the terrible cries of the dying,
who we're revealed like inhuman grisly
spectres writhing on the ground as day
broke.
Shortly after dawn the Belgians dis
posed of the dangerous German as
sault against Fort Norchon by a mas
terly charge of the mixed cavalry
brigade, which drove the shattered
German ranks before them like
whirlwind. The 7th Corps, broken up
hopelessly, retired in disorder, over
5000 fugitives being reported as pass
ing through Maestricht toward Aix-la-
Chapelle.
Meanwhile the 10th Corps was busy
further south. The first German regi-
ment crossing the spaces between the
forts of Embourg and Chaudfontsine
lost its colonel when 300 yards from
the Garde Civique, and then suffered
themselves to be ripped up and down
mercilessly by the fearful cloudburst
of lead from the Belgian artillery and
forts.
Then the Germans advanced and
succeeded in surrounding the chateau
Of Langress, opposite Fort Embourg,
under cover of their artillery. and i'm
mediately the Belgians wrought fright
full disaster in the enemy's ranks by
blowing up the chateau, which had been
mined. Despite defeat on all sides the
Germans sent a psrlementaire to Gen.
ersl Leman demanding the surrender
Of Liege, which the Belgian COM
mander promptly refused, despite the
threats of the Germans that they would
send an airship over the city.
Soon afterward a dirigible lowered
over Liege and dropped bombs which
set part of the city sAame, but failed
to kill any inhabitant. Everywhere
are found German spies, several in
Liege being disguised as priests,
gendarmes and municipal guards.
Paris, Aug. s.-While the battle be-
tween the German forces and the Bel
gians is still in progress around Liege
and the final outcome is not yet known,
an official detailed account of the en-
gagements, covering a period between
August and 8, was issued here to-
day. In summarizing the operations
the account says:

Paris. Aug. 8.-An official detailed
account of the fighting at Liege, issued
to-day, says:
"The German columns crossed the
Belgian frontier during the night be-
tween August 8 and August a. Ger
man cavalry came into contact with
the Belgian advanced posts to the east
of the forts at 2 o'clock in the after
noon of August 4.
"The plan of attack developed dur
ing the day Of August 5. Each Ger
man column had a different objective
Forts Fleron, Norchons and Evegues
constituting the northeastern section,
being the first point, while the second
column attacked the southeastern sec
ton, comprising Forts Boncelles and
Embourg.
"The first attack of the northeastern
German column was made on the left.
II attacked Fort Fleron and Evegues
and also the interval itself and the
intervening space between Forts Fler-
on between Forts Fleron and Chau-
fontaine.
"The attack from the beginning was

1.-THE Belgian attack from the inter-
walls between the forts was energetic.
The German offensiv- movement soon
was checked, and the engagement then
became an artillery duel, the Belgian
guns having a deadly effect on the
German forces.

the general staff.
"The refusal was as summary as the
request The fire from the forts re-
opened heavily, and the offensive also
was taken by the Belgians. The Ger
mans abandoned their positions and re-
tired for distance of six miles. The
Belgian troops followed up their adj
vantage without delay and the German
retreat was accelerated.
"Coincident with these events on the
northeastern forts, the second part of
the German attack was being carried
out upon the southeastern defences.
The German troops sought to make
their way between the Belgian posi-
tions OH the Huy side. They also
attacked Forts Boncelles and Embourg,
but they encountered ENGAGEMENTS,
which had been numerously placed, and
were appreciably retarded. They con-
tinued their advance and made a di-
rect attack, which failed. Their losses
were heavy.
Bayonet Fight in Dark.
"The Belgians defending the interval
numbered only 500, and they fell back
a mile and a quarter. This was a crit
zeal moment. General Leman Threw all
his troops which we're not engaged
upon that part of the defence, and
$4,000 men massed against the attack.
It was night, and fierce bayonet fight
ing ensued. The enemy was held back.
AIN the obscurity there was some
confusion, and one small German col
umn of infantry succeeded in entering
the city. The German officer wore an
undrcss cap to deceive the Belgians
He spoke English. To complete the
deception, his men carried their rifles
at the shoulder.
"They got to within fifty yards of
general headquarters, when. the gen.
darmes recognized them and opened
fire. Violent street fighting followed,
and the Germans were driven out of
the city. General Leman then trans
ferred his headquarters to one Of the
forts"

NEUTRAL STEAMER
DAMAGED BY Mine
Placing of Explosives in
High Seas Not INSANE
toned by Nations.

Flushing, Holland, via London, Aug
s.-The Norwegian steamer Tysla, OF
zoos tons, struck a mine outside the
Dutch island Of Wieringen to-day. Inc
explosion shattered her stern, but the
captain managed 70 run her on the
beach.
Washington, Aug. S.-The wrecklng
OF the neutral steamer Tysla by nine
outside the Dutch island of Wieringen
to-day served to turn discussion in ma
val circles to the provisions IN the
Hague convention governing the laying
of both anchored and unanchored
mines.
Appalling as Is the danger of de-
struction of neutral commerce and the
menace to human life through the en-
ployment of automatic contact mines,
their use is sanctioned by the nations.
Emphasis was laid on the fact that the
United States, with Austria, Germany
and other powers, at the last Hague
conference opposed a convention which
would prohibit the placing Of such de-
vices in the high sens, where they
would DC a menace to neutral COM
merce. -,
The most the Hague conference did
in 1907 was TO draw up regulations
for the use of these deadly instruments
of warfare. This convention forblds
the laying of "unanchored automatic
contact mines except when they arc so
constructed as to become harmless ono
hour at most after the person who LAID
them ceases to control them" 1t Ike,
wise prohibits the laying of anchored
automatic contact mines which do not
become harmless as soon as they have
broken loose from their moorings" and
the employment of torpedoes (which
| do not become harmless when they
/ have missed their mark"
Observers here believe the mine
which caused the Bleaching of the Nor
wegian vessel was anchored, as most OF
the North Sea is not more than thirty
/ fathoms deep and much of it less thar
/ that. Each power promises TO remove
( at the close Of hostilities all mines that
can be located, and in the case Of an,
/ chored automatic mines laid by one OF
/ the belligerents off the coast of the
other, their position must be notified u
| the other party by the power which
laid them, and each power promises, to
