ROANOKE. VA. May 22.-All

All vegetation is suffering in pro-
portion. There are places in Roa
noke city, where lawns that were
masses of luXuriantly green blue grass
month ago can be fired with a
match. All kinds of crops, especially
truck that demands plenty of mois-
ture. are suffering daily and as long
as the cool nights continue farmers
have little hope of relief. An as yet
the weather bureau holds out no hope
of better conditions.
Well founded reports coming from
all the Southwest section of the State
are to the effect that seed planted
weeks ago never have sprouted and
are being lost through decay in the
dry soil. This Is especially trL1 of
the Clinch Valley country, where. ac-
cording to reports from newspapers
in that section. conditions are grow
ing worse every day.
In Roanoke and vicinity there has
not been an effective rain since late
in April. Conditions on the market
square reflect the absence of warm
weather and moisture and farmers
say the situation is discouraging.
More than one early crop already Is
gone beyond hope Of resuscitation and
late crops are being dw1rfed. In some

While late corn has not yet suffered

Rate of Railroad Mortality.

To show that railroad travel IS not
30 deadly as it is thought to be is not
to say that it is not much more dead
ly than 1t ought to be; but certainly
the railroads are entitled to the statis-
hcal proof Of what they have already
done to lower the rate o. mortality
That by the fairest possible statis-
teal comparison the rate Of mortality
yet is higher in this country than In
Europe does not absolutely prove that
the railroads are less Jealous in this
country to protect the lives Of passen-
gers. Owing to the differences in
equipment it is impossible for the
European travellers to take the volun-
tary risks which American travellers
take. Before a European train starts
every passenger is tucked away In
his apartment. There is no such thing
as tardy one running to overtake
his train. 1t might be argued, too,
that the risk of travel increases faster
than the distance, but that, of course,
Is All abstraction.

melted very little. We used two parts

Microbes in Humid Air.

According to the researches OF
Messrs. Trillat and Fouassier, pub
lished by the Academic des Sciences,
microbes suspended in the air act as
centers Of condensation, when the air
is humid. The authors give evidence
os the existence CT micTobian drops

led their properties. One very inter
estias result is that tho sudden cool
ing of the atmosphere has the eff
feet of transporting the microbes and
localizing them in determinate re-
gions. The cool surfaces attract them
from distance almost simultaneous

claim personal friendship with the
great novelist, says: Had been in
his place l would rather have been
laid to sleep near Gad's Hill, the home
he coveted as a small and very poor

interment there. . should like

Heat From Rain.

Muntz and Gaudechon, French inves.
tigators, have conducted experiments
with reference to the heat impaired to
the soil by rain, which, 1t is thought,
may play a part hitherto unrecognized
In the phenomena Of vegetation. 1t
appears that when the soil has reached
a certain degree of dryness the appli-
cation of moisture produces rise OF
temperature which is greater in pro-
portion to the fneness Of the mate
rials. Coarse, sandy soil is not heated
by contact with moisture, while soil
composed mostly Of humus is special

ORIGIN Of Moss Rose.

a. German story gives the origin of
the moss rose as follows: Once upon a
time an angel, having p mission of love
to suffering humanity came 3own to
earth. Being tired, he sought place
wherein to rest, but as it Jared with
his Master, so it Jared with him, there
was no room for him, and no one
would give him shelter. At last he lay
down under the shade OF rose, and
slept till the rising sun awoke him.
Before making his way heavenward
be addressed the rose and said, as
1t had given him shelter which man
denied, it should receive an enduring
token of his power and love, and so,
leaf by leaf, twig by twig, the soft
green moss grew around the stem, and
there it is to this day, q cradle in
which the newborn rose may lie,
proof, as the angel said, Of divine
power and love.
