Further Use of Radium.

According to recent experiments in
Europe radium is instrumental in pre-
venting diseases of plants. For sew
eral years workers in agronomic sci
ence have been experimenting upon
the effect of radium on vegetation by
mixing radioactive substances with
the usual fertilizers. The numerous
results obtained in this work show
that most plants, either grain or flow
err, are remarkably stimulated and
give better yield both in size and
quality, this being often seen in the
fine and healthy color Of the green
plants or leaves. The same plants are
in better condition to resist attacks
from various sources Of disease, espe-
cially diseases known as cryptogamic,
which arise from spores or mold. 1t
seems that radium is to act as a pre-
yentiye for such diseases as wheat
rust, rotting of potatoes, grapevine
mildew and many others which cause
such detriment to agriculture

CHAPTER X.-Continued.

Presently he came to street which
presented a vista Of a long line OF
street lamps. Evidently 1t led into
the heart Of the city. Holton followed
IL past stores and houses, until at
length he stood in the patio before the
palace" Here there were lights in
ell the windows. Evidently the official
machinery was working overtime. The
lights gave him a sense OF comfort,
the doubtful sort of comfort that
man out in the cold feels when he
looks in at a company gathered about
genial fire.
Holton's emotions were those of q
pariah. He was an outcast, and more
than that an outcast who would speed

II he were not extremely careful
Somehow the thought that he was a
spy had slipped his mind for the time
being.
For more than an hour he stumbled
along, leaving the city, crossing the
tracks of the Sabanilla and Maroto
railroad, until he came to gate

the walls Of the gate were emblazoned
the Spanish coat-of-arms. It was
thrown back, and a soldier stood in
the opening.

bringing his gun across his chest.
"Cardenas." cried Holton, giving the

times that night.
He walked forward

here?" he added.
The sentinel threw his gun into the
hollow of his arm.
NO." he replied You must walk
up this road two miles. 1t is the first
estate on your left"
Holton politely thanked the soldier
and proceeded on his way. His shoes
were caked with mud and his clothing
dragged heavily. And he was both
tired and sleepy. He moved as though

than half awake.

Not a Flatterina Idea.

A noted Sunday school worker, liv
ing In Kansas, was once asked to talk
to the children of a Sunday school on
the subject of temperance. He is very
earnest in the cause and wears bit
of blue ribbon as a badge of his prin
ciples. Rising before the school, he
pointed to his bit of blue ribbon and
said: 'Now, can any of you children
give me a reason why / am not a
drunkard?' There was no reply for
moment, then childish little voice
in the rear of the room piped out:

Mill Burned at ChestervilIe.

The large sawmill near Horseshoe
pond, Chesterville, owned and operated
by w. E. Cloutier & Co., of Lewiston,
was entirely consumed by fire on Sun
day last The machinery is of course,
badly damaged except. perhaps, the
boiler Little or no lumber was lost,
as we understand, but the loss of the
plant must be considerable, as the
plant was equipped for a large bust
ness and has already sawed out more
than a million feet of lumber in the
year past while they have been run
ming. The machinery cost about $1,000.
The building was not expensive This
mill was established about year ago
in order to work up the timber on the
farm of the late Charles II. Judkins
and comparatively a small part has as
vet been manufactured. 1t was esti-
mated that the whole amount of tim
Der on the Judkins property would
make nearly or quite 100000 feet.
This property was sold after the death
of Mr.. Judkins and his son, John Jud-
kins, to the Pennington Lumber Co.,
and by them to Cloutier & Co. An
auto truck has been used to transport
the manufactured products to the
railroad station.

their first attack on Warsaw.
In Flanders and in France. the
armies seem to be enjoying a long de-
served rest for the only remaining
evidence that the belligerents are fac
ing each other is an occasional bonn
bardment with heavy guns. Infantry
attacks have temporarily ceased, and
while the generals are laying their
plans for their next move, the men
are getting a chance to rest and to
tide themselves up after month in
the water soaked trenches.
An eye witness with the British
headquarters in a long statement
made public today gives official con-
firmation of the reported heavy losses
which the Germans have suffered in
their attacks on Ypres. He speaks Of
decimated battalions, of hundreds of
dead left before the trenches and Of
patches of bodies found in farm
houses. The casualty lists of British
forces show that the British forces
have also suffered everely in the fight
ing.
The Servians are making a stand
