An Institute o, Agriculture.

More scientific farming resulting in
lower food prices in cities is the
avowed object OF the free institute OF
agriculture which has been in prog
ress In New York city throughout 20
weeks of the present year. The in
stitution depends upon cooperation
between the national department OF
agriculture. Columbia university and
the New York state department OF
agriculture. 1t is intended that per-
sons who intend to go into farming
shall be better prepared for this pur-
pose. while those who are not fitted
for that occupation may be deferred
from attempting It. II is also the
hope that abandoned farms near the
city may be subjected TO proper de-
velopment.

suh..I.u.s, for p.yllah,.

As q substitute for the ordinary
glass lamp-globe. there has been In.
troduced in Germany globe made OF
thin, translucent marble.
The light produced from this globe
is declared by experts to be almost
the exact counterpart of daylight. An
other German novelty In illumination
consists OF screen coated with an
aluminium powder which. when placed
before n light. transmits glare ex-
actly like daylight. by means OF which
even colors can be Judged with perfect
accuracy.
should these German discoveries
prove to be all that has been claimed
for them. they will doubtless be uni
versally adopted Artificial light that
is perfect substitute for daylight Is
what the world has been waiting for.

child like that!
He spoke grufIy TO the little girl,
but she did not seem to notice his
presence. And at last. with . shrug
Of the shoulders. Driscoll turned his
back on her.
He started away-not in the direc-
tion OF New York, however. but back
toward his home. A new idea had
come to him. He would pretend that
he had been killed in the wreck. and
return home secretly. TO discover
what people were saying about him
He anticipated the jeers. the scofnng
and congratulations. and his own
triumph when he suddenly appeared
In the midst Of them.
The news OF the disaster had spread
rapidly. and. Ave miles down the line.
Driscon passed a wrecking train. with
. medical car attached. Behind II,
along tho wayside track. there came
. man in a buggy. who pulled mp his
sweating stecd.
Have you seen the wreck" he
shouted.
YES" answered Driscoll. II was
aboard. My friend. Jim Driscoll. was
killed. and that's enough for me. Are
you a reporter"
Yes. I'm newspaper man." an
swered the other. Give me a short
account while rest my horse.
Quick"
Il will II you'll put Jim Driscoll
down as dead" answered Driscoll.
Say Jim Driscoll OF BoxvilIe. H.. was
killed by brenking his neck. because
I'm not a.going to break the news to
his family"
The bargain was struck and Dris-
coll gave the other a Ave minutes
account OF the wreck Then he hur-
ried along the line.
He caught branch train NJ the
junction. and finally. about eight
o'clock the next evening. attired in n
shabby suit which he had purchased
at pawnbroker's. he made his way
In the dark through the streets of
Boxville. Nobody who passed In the
gathering darkness recognized Dris-
coll in the shabby. slouching stranger.
He pushed open the garden gate
and crept to the outside OF the par.

A recent mayor OF Huddersfeld Of
fered one pound to every mother who
brought to him year-old baby OF a
certain weight. and the result was
that great many babies which used
to die did not die. The babies at the
end of the year not only came up
alive but they came up to weight. In
commenting on this fact, Bernard
Shaw said Mr.. Broadbent knew that a
pound extra in n baby at a certain age
was an enormous municipal profit

RATES ON IRON ARE
HELD UNREASONABLE
Great Northern and Other Railroads
Ordered to Establish Rate Not
Moro THIN E'ifty-fivc Cents.

Washington, April 27.--The exist
ing rate OF 60 cents per long ton on
iron ore from mines on the Mcsabi
Range in Minnesota to vessels at Two
Harbors and Duluth. Mimi. and Al
lOueZ Bay. Wis, was pronounced un-
reasonable today ny The Interstate
commerce commission and the Great
Northern and other railroads were or
dcrcd TO establish Il rate not more
than SIS cents.
No finding was made by the COM
mission on the rates from mines in
the Vermillion and Guyana ranges, but
representatives of the Guyana range
the commissions report declares. said
during the progress OF the case that
even If no order were entered with
respect TO that range the rate for the
Mesabi would hc controlling.
The case is one Of the most i'm
portant decided by tho commission i'm
several months. The Great Northern
alone carried more than 1900. 600
long tons of orc to docks from Mime
sofa mines in 1913.
