LOTTERY FEATURE
IN REDEMPTION
A Further Issue of $5O,OO0,-
900 Is Now
Planned

Berlin. Jan. 31.-The issue of the new
Prussian loan of approximately S90,000,-
900 in the shape Of treasury notes, is
said to have been a success. II
constitutes q new type of public Sc
curity in Germany, as it is redeemable
by annual drawings covering period
of 10 years, but holders who do not wish
to withdraw their money when their
notes are drawn are to be allowed to
convert them into four per cent. bonds.
This lottery feature OF the new financial
transaction was adopted by the gov
eminent because of the failure of va
rious public issues In 1913. As the treas
ury notes are redeemable at par and sub
scribers pay only 07 for them, those
whose notes are drawn for redemption
within the next few years will receive
high rate of interest while the aver
age return for the entire period of 10
years will be fully four and one half
per cent. The government itself pays
four and eight-tenths per cent. for the
accommodation. 1t is thought probable
that a further issue OF about $4,000
900 will be made later this year. These
large sums are for the expansion of the
railroad and canal systems Of Prussia
and for other productive purposes.

MAY APPEAL FROM VERDICT
Found by Literary Jury in Murder of
Edwin brood.

London, Jan. 3l.--There is talk of APP
peal from the verdict of manslaughter
found by the literary jury which recently
tired John Jasper for the murder of Ed.
win brood. The more serious minded
members of the Dickens society, who ex-
pected careful weighing of evidence,
with the hope of ending the controversy
over Dickens unfinished novel, in which
Jasper and brood were the chief char
acters, are disguntled because the trial
developed into such a farce, ''and such a
dull farce at that"
There were many who did not appre-
ciate the humor which G. X. Chesterton,
as judge, and George Bernard Shaw, as
foreman of the jury, tried to inject, and
the convicted defendant, whose part was
taken seriously by +. T. Harry, asserts
that there was ample grounds for an
appeal if for 10 other reason than that
the verdict Vas solely the decision of
Foreman Shaw, arrived at during the
luncheon interval nearly three hours
before the end of the trial, as the fore
man himself admitted. Most of the ju-
TORS had left before the trial ended
Walter Crotch, one of the counsel for
the defense, is even more severe with
Shaw. He declares that the verdict was
"typically Shavian and therefore typi-
cally farcical and unsatisfactory. It
also had the more fragrant defect of be-
ing absolutely untrue, for the jurors
were not consulted as to its terms"

Says the West Is the place for Action

In the February American Magazine
Ray Stannard Baker begins a new series
OF letters from the field entitled Seeing
America" His first article is a report
from the west, through which be has
been travelling extensively of late. In
connection with the Safety First" move
ment among the railroads he writes in
part, as follows;
Il live in New England, and have to
travel much on New England railroads
which of late have shown themselves to
be the most dangerous to human life,
perhaps, of any in the world. We have
had great talk there of the necessity of
more safety in travel-and have thus
Tar done nothing practical. But in the
west, no sooner do they think of thing
than they try to do it! It's youth and
inexperience, suppose. The east, seems
to see, first of all, the many excellent
reasons why thing should not be done,
but the west sees, first of all, the rea-
sons why it should.
Two or three years ago the Middle
West began campaign to secure great
err safety in travel, which has had an
amazing growth. Safety first are the
catchwOrds | heard of the movement
in many places. At Chicago the associa-
ton of commerce is behind it, and the
coroner has appointed public commit
tee to deal with the conditions. All the
great railroads are interested The
Northwestern has had the work under
way for three years, and already the re-
suits are truly notable. Ralph C. Rich
ards, the officials in charge of the safety
service of that railroad, shows that in
the three years ended June 80, 1913.
compared with the three years ended
June 80, 1910, the records show that;
90 fewer employees were killed.
6,433 fewer employees were injured.
659 fewer passengers were injured.
1913 fewer outsiders were killed
l57 fewer outsiders were injured.
"The west is actually beginning to
think first of human life, than of prop
erty. And when you come TO think of
it, this is the very core and essence of
the progressive movement of which we
have had such widespread report--a
wider than any political
PARTY"

Of immune animals around the infected
center.
Hog cholera is caused by germ that
exists in the blood. 1t is an organism
apparently so small that the most pow
erful microscopes do not snow it. How
ever, it is easy to demonstrate its pres
ence by inoeulating small part Of the
blood from sick hog into well one,
which produces the hog cholera.
Hog cholera is a disease which seems
to be stopped to degree, by the frosts
Of winter, although frost cannot be said
to stop a case after it has taken hold Of
its victim. However, it seems to pre-
vent the rapid spread of the disease.
The result is that in spring time the
affection is as rule at the lowest ebb,
but increases rapidly from that time un-
til fall.
Hog cholera does not seem 10 affect
any particular breed OF hogs more than
another, and while generally the careless
farmer is more apt to have the disease
among his hogs than the careful one, the
disease sometimes occurs where the con-
ditions are sanitary. 1t is hoped that
the work may be extended gradually un-
til the disease is completely controlled
or eliminated The fact that hog chol-
era is carried not only BY the hogs them
selves, but by birds, dogs, streams and
even>on the feet OF men going from one
farm to another shows how necessary it
is that the campaign be thorough and
that farmers exert their best efforts TO
assist in the work.

DAINTY TINY NESTS.
Those of the Humming Bird Are About
the Size Of Walnut.

Those of the Humming Bird Are About
the Size OF Walnut.
The most exauIsitely dainty home
built by the bill and feet OF birds Is
that of the ruby throated hummlng
bird. When completed 1t Is scarcely
larger than an English walnut and Is
usually saddled On a small horizontal
limb OF q tree or shrub frequently
many feet from the ground.
This dainty domicile is composed al
most entirely Of soft plant f1bers. frag-
ments of spiders webs sometimes be
ing used to hold them in shape. The
sides are thickly studded with bits OF
lichen. and practiced indeed is the eye
of the man who can distinguish 1t from
knot on toe limb. The eggs are the
size of quinIne pills.
Although the humming birds nest Is
exceedingly frall, there appears to be
nothing on record to show that any
great numbers of them come to grief
during the summer rains. 1t is, how
ever, not called upon for long tenure
of occupancy. Within three weeks
after the two little white eggs are laid
the young have departed en- their tiny
pinions.
