Euqene Fields Varied Career.

Eugene Field, newspaper writer and
poet. was born (date not exactly au-
thenticated in some biographies) No
vember 7, 1850, at Amherst, Mass. His
father was a lawyer Of some distinc.
ton and was one of the counsel in the
famous bred Scott slave case. His
mother died when he was a child and
he was placed in care Of Miss French,
a cousin. At the age of eighteen he
entered Williams college, but, his
father dying soon after, his guardian
placed him In Knox college at Gales
burg, ILL.,, and later he went to the Uni
versity of Missouri. In 1871 he
knocked about" for a few months in
Europe, and then for several years
was a reporter manager and editor for
newspapers in st. Louis, Kansas City
and Denver. Later he was for years
on the staff of the Chicago Evening
News, until his death in 1895. He
wrote volumes of heart-appealing

Market for Apples and Prunes.

The people of Norway usually de-
pend on the Norwegian apple crop and
the Servian prune crop for the greater
part Of their winter fruit supply. Dur
ing the present season the apple crop
in Norway is very light, being practi-
cally failure; Servia. being at war,
will be unable to supply prunes.
These conditions furnish an oppor-
tunity for American exporters Of
fruits to find a large market this sea
son in Norway for dried and green
apples and prunes, says Consul Gen
eral Michael J. Hendrick. Christiania.
While American fruits, both green and
dried, are largely sold in Norway,
none were heretofore imported direct
ly from the United States, Wholesale
dealers In Hamburg, Germany. through
local agents, furnishing the supply.

Deer COPIED Cabbage.

herd of deer celebrated the close
Of the cunning season by invading the
garden of Postmaster A. c. Stewart at
Weymouth, n. j., and eating his win
ter supply of cabbage. Several gun
ming parties have been encamped
within a hundred yards Of the spot
during the week and a dozen deer have
been shot in the immediate vicinity.
The deer came to within fifty feet Of
where two stag hounds were tethered
to their kennels and the barking Of
the dogs aroused the postmaster and
his son, who saw the herd scampering
away In the moonlight
Sportsmen here say that the season
Just closed has been the best in many
years. The heavy foliage remaining
on the trees gave the deer more shell
ter than usual. Over thirty bucks
have been reported bagged within a
ten-mile radius of Weymouth. This
was proportion Of about one to every
twenty gunners.

Senator Root has great power Of

One day he was going through some

that called for much quiet thought

Travel a Century AGO.

Under date Of November 10, 1903, It
was announced in some Of the news
papers, West and East, that line Of
mail stages would soon be established
to run between Pittsburgh and Phila-
delphia, probably to be started the
following June. The fact was, how.
ever that the line was dedicated for
regular trips on the natal day Of the
republic, July 4, 1904. and It Is Of
record as the beginning of n new
chapter in the history OF Pittsburgh
that the first stage, with its four fine
horses and a goodly load Of mail and
passengers, left Ferrees tavern IA
Market street with great flourish Of
whips. thus initiating the grand fca.
ture OF a bi-weekly stage, the dis
tance between cities being about
800 miles, 100 OF them through CON
tlnuous chain Of mountains, all TO be
traversed IN six days. The lceisl .
ture OF that year adopted a resoiu-
tion for the appointment of a commit
tee to ascertain the most available
route for a turnpike between the two
cities.

While Old Neighbor Had
Things to Lend.

No one could truthfully deny that
| most of the small farmers Of Dilmouth
were addicted to Notwithstanding
tools chiefly-although as occasion
arose they would borrow anything
else with the utmost cheerfulness.
The burden fell heaviest upon Caleb
Peaslee, a thrifty farmer who kept
every necessary tool, and who tried to
keep them in condition for use. The
advent of a new farmer, n well-to-do
man who brought with him almost
every known appliance for filling the
ground. seemed to open an avenue Of
escape from some Of his troubles,

Caleb made his first attempt at

nearest neighbor and an inveterate
borrower, came for the wheel hoe,
which lay In the tool shed with one
wheel broken. Jake went to the shed
and examined the hoe, and then re-
turned to the grindstone, where Caleb
and his son were grinding scythes.
Jake's face wore a dissatisfied express
sion.

Caleb regarded the borrower with a
fine irony, tempered by an exasper-

Germans are not. as Il rule, success
full colonists, but Togoland has always
been a kind Of toy to the German
merchant since It's annexation just 80
years ago The great achievement in

a cotton trade, and nothing has been
spared to foster the industry. Most
elaborate experiments were made be-

seed would produce staple equal TO

RadIum Market Closed

The European war has, for the pres
ent at least, totally closed the Euro.
pean market to American radium ores.
AS Is well known. the uranium ores OF
Colorado and Utah are sold exclu-
sively for their radium content, so lit
tie use being known for the uranium
that the ores cannot be sold for their
content of that element. The condi-
tion OF the European market leaves
the miners without a buyer; SO that
while the war lasts, and probably for
some time afterward. the market will
be restricted and without the benefit
OF competition. AS has been pointed
out by Secretary of the Interior Lane,
had the bills introduced in congress
been passed the United States govern
ment would probably have been in the
market as n buyer. and the miner
might now have chance to sell his

NOT APPROVED BY SCIENCE
Existence Of "BraIn Waves" as Popu.
larly Understood, Has Never
Been Established.

Sir Ray Lancaster, who has been
diligent student of telepathy, now ar
rives at the conclusion that the so
called brain waves" of which the te-
lepathist talks, have no foundation IN
science. According to him, we know
nothing of the existence of such waves
and are absolutely devoid Of the means
Of establishing them. The chief diff
Guilty lies in the fact that those who
seem to believe In them most implic-
lily are unable to so much as haz-
ard guess as to the material In
which they occur.
The physicist who teaches the ex-
istence of light waves affirms at the
beginning that they are waves of the
ether. In holding to sound waves he
explains that they are waves of the
atmosphere. To say that sound and
light are waves and at the same time
to be unable to declare the substance
Of which those waves consist would
be to leave sound and light unex-
planned; and Sir Ray holds that like
inference Is to be drawn from the
brain-wave explanation Of telepathy.
But granting the existence of such
waves, he proceeds to ask by what
means they are received and obtains
no answer. AS far as present day
science goes there is no detector in
the brain by which they may be re-
ceived, and no mechanism to trans
form them into sensible form. Neither
is there a code between man and man
whereby the thoughts conveyed are
to be made ineligible as the Morse
alphabet transforms the dots and
dashes of the telegraph key into
words.
The possibility Of telepathy is not
denied. The noted scientist simply
takes the ground that at the present
stage of knowledge, If brains do COM
municate with each other Immediately
and over long distances, 1t is by some
other method than that OF the sup
posed brain waves"
