PRISONERS PLACED IN coFFINs
Woman Explorer Tells of Atrocities
 Seen in Mongolia

The contrasts of Mongolia-its strong attractiveness and gleams Of western civ ilization, and it's depraved morality and barbarity-were recently vivldly sketched by Mrs. Herbert Bustrode at a meeting of the Royal Asiatlc society,"" says Lon don special to the New York Sun. Mrs. Bulstrode accomplished remarkable feat last year. when. with but a solitary com panion, she travelled over TOO miles by caravan in Mongolia.
 Describing the prisons of the capital to which she succeeded in gaining admis- sion, Mrs. Bulstrode said. Within a small compound, fenced in by high. spiked palisades, are five or six dungeons There are human beings in those dun geons and among them quite number of highly civilized, refined and gentle Chinese, who are shut Up for the remain der of their lives in heavy. iron bound wooden coffins. out of which they never under any circumstances move. They can not sit upright. They cannot lie down flat They see daylight but for a few minues. when their food Is thrown into their coffins through hole four or five inches In diameter twice daily.
 These collins, of which I counted over 50-and there were many others which l could not count-are scattered about on tho filthy floors of the dungeons Nothing can ever sec in the future win wipe out the memory of that terrible prison"
 A grewsome picture was drawn of the Mongolans' treatment of their dead: "They throw their dead" she said. ''out into the hillsides. where dogs and vul- lures speedily devour them. \ lasting i'm presson of Urga is that of city strewn with bones and of horrible ghoulish and terribly savage dogs. which you may count sometimes in hundreds. silently gnawing gnawing. awaY at something which makes you shudder as you ride quickly past.r

 Up to February 24, when the great chief of records made report to the secretary of the state orphans board, SdS2.S4 had been received from a tax Of 22 cents per capita upon the mem bers of the order and $326.62 had been received from volunteer contributions to the fund from charitably inclined Red Men.

MistoOk His Man


 Sir John Fisher relates an amusing ex- perience he had one inspection day.
 Somehow he got separated from his of ficial friends, and at last lost his way. He wandered about, and eventually came upon a workman gently hammering a piece of iron outside one of the work shops
 Are the lords of the admiralty about here?" asked Sir John.
 No fear, matey,' said the nian, who did not know his rather carelessly dressed inquisitor. "I'm here doin crow for em.' Grow. Whats that?"
 What, don't yer know? Inside this ere shed my mates is a-takin of it easy. When I sees someone that don't matter, knocks soft, like now. But when l sees old 'Jacky' Fisher I knocks like blazes, and when old Jacky' pokes his nose inside they're worlxfn' like blazes, too. Seer"
 "Jacky' Fisher did see, and crow shooting was begun in the dockyard that day.

Many Die in Earthquake.

Press dispatches Saturday from
Catania, Sicily, told of violent
earthquake and volcanic eruption
Friday night in which many
villages were lost on the slopes
of Mount Etna. The disaster
caused the death of at least 100
persons. The number injured
will reach several hundred.
Refugees declare that the loss
is as great as in the Messina dis
aSter of 1908.
Railroad tracks were torn up,
churches razed to the ground,
houses shaken to ruin and tele-
graph poles overturned over a
radius of several miles around
Catania. Terror stricken people
rushed from the villages into
Catania before baybreak, bring
ing stories of ruin and disaster.
interruption of railroads and
telegraphs made it impossible to
obtain any accurate details as to
the loss of life.

ease first. The lower leaves will
turn yellow and usually wilt
more gradually than where the
plant is affected with bacterial
wilt. Fungus which causes this
wilt remains alive in the soil for
a number of years so that it will
be necessary to leave tomatoes
off the land for five or six years.
Spraying does not seem to help
in controlling the fungus wilt.
The diseased plants should be
pulled up and burned, and the
succeeding crop should be planted
on land where tomatoes have not
been grown before.
There are several other de-
Structive diseases of tomatoes
which occur on the leaves and
young stems. These are known
as leaf spots or leaf blights and
can be controlled by the applica-
ton of Bordeaux mixture.
Where these occur, it is well to
spray the tomatoes one time
while they are still in the bed.
After transplanting they should
be sprayed every two or three
weeks until the majority of the
tomatoes are ripe. This same
spray will prevent the fruit rots,
and if the arsenate of lead is
added. it will tend to prevent
the spread of bacterial wilt. For
this purpose we would use Bor-
deauX mixture one~pound copper
sulphate or blue stone and one
pound of quick lime to twelve
gallons of water.
