United States is increasing each year.

American roses now rank among the
finest In the world. At the annual
examination of the National Rose So

few weeks ago.a new American rose:
The Hoosler Beauty" was awarded
an honor, while special commenda-
ton was given to several other Amer

and also for the production Of new
varieties.
One of the latest activities Of the
society is in the establishment OF
test gardens Three Of these are
now in operation. the one at the Ar

partmenr Of agriculture; another at
Cornell university, Ithaca, N Y. and
another in Elizabeth Park, Hartford,
Conn. Others are under conSidera-
ton. as it is the purpose OF the So
ciety to test the different varieties of
roses in as many Localities as possible,
as well as to breed new varieties suit
ed to different conditions.
The most important Of these test
gardens is the national rose garden

EaIlinn un Out of a Balloon.

plane or balloon he will not go toward
the earth. but will continue rising into
the air for an appreciable time. If the
air machine were stopped in it's ascent
at the time it could catch the man
as he came down. If the airship were
ascending at the rate of thirty two feet
a second the man would rise sixteen
feet before beginning 10 fall toward
the earth Thus. by reducing the speed
of its ascent. the vessel might keep by
the side of the man and rescue him.
The reason why the man rises is the
same as the reason for bullets rising

both the man and the bullet are given

time for gravity TO negative that

Slow In France.

Paris, Feb. !5.-Military operations
In France and Flanders continue on
a minor scale, the infrequency of i'm.
portant fighting surprising the mill
tary critics who had expected a
resumption of hostilities of a violent
nature while the Germans and the
Russians were locked in a desperate
struggle on the eastern front.
The official communiques Of the
French war Office tell of only two op-
erations of moment, one in Lorraine,
near Pont-a-Mousson, where tho
enemy occupied the town of Norroy
again. where strong counter attacks
are being sent, and the other in the
Champagne district, where the Ger
mans have again bombarded Rheims.
In the sector of Rheims the German
artillery did excellent work for time,
a number Of large shells falling in
Rheims itself and increasing the de-
vastation wrought in the city by
previous bombardments. Eventually
the French artillery got the range of
the German trenches and forced the
enemy to slacken his fire.

Russians Not Msnaceo.

Petrograd, Feb. -5-Russian staif
officers assert that Notwithstanding
the reoccupation of the crown land OF
Bukowina by Austro-German armies
it does not constitute menace to the
Russian flank or to the Russian posi-
ton about the town of Lemberg. This
Is due to the fact, the Russians main
tain, that to the north and south are
mountain rangers which render that
section of the country isolated and
because the Russian positions in the
Beskid range on the south preclude
the possibility of a successful attack,
Russian newspaper comments on ru
mors recer ly in circulation that the
Russians contemplated the evacuation
of Lemberg and the publication o.,
statements that Russian authorities
had placar6 ID the city with announce
ments to that effect have brought
forth denials from the Russian general
staff
The northern and northwest slopes
of the entire Carpathian range are
claimed to be controlled by Russian
forces, thus giving them key to the
situation in eastern Galicia.
Military authorities admit the possi.
bility of an Austro-German attack OF
the Russian positions around Prz.
emysl which Austrian fortress recent.
~ has shown new signs of activity.
In the last few days the garrison
has made number of sorties ap-
parently aimed at breaking the Rus
sian ring to the south, and with form.
ing junction with the Austrian main
force approaching from the direction
the sorties, according to Russian
sources, have been unsuccessful and
disastrous.

CANADA GIVEN SCARE
Aeroplanes Reported Headed For
Ottawa-CapitaI Darkened.

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. SC.-Sir Robert
Borden received a telegram from
Brockville. Ont. stating that three
aeroplanes had passed over Brock
Vile, sixty miles south, in the direo
tion of Ottawa.
Colonel Sherwood, chief of the do
minion police, was summoned. He
ordered all lights out on Parliament
hill and the capital was in complete
darkness.
There was considerable excitement
among the members of the house OF
parliament. While some are inclined
to doubt the possibility of raiders
others said that the government had
been in possession of information
which had led it to take extraordinary
precautions.
The naval service department or
Canada issued notice that circuoa.
stances have arisen which may neces-
state the prohibition of all entrance
to certain ports of the dominion, and
| mariners are instructed that on ap-
| preaching the shores of Canada tia.
sharp lookout be kept for signals
from patrol vessels, which would indi-
cate that distractions may exist.
Canadian ports are being heavily
mined and prepared for possible raid
ers. 1t is understood that such steps
have been taken on the advice of the
British admiralty.
Rideau hall, the residence OF the
| governor general, was also turned into
| darkness. The royal mint, where all
| the gold of the dominion and some OF
the gold of the empire is minted and
stored, was in darkness. Searchligh.s
played about the capital.
In an interview Colonel Sherwood
stated that he had received an official
communication from the chief of po-
lice at Brockvile stating that three or
four aeroplanes had crossed the st.
Lawrence river from New York state
| near Morristown and had dropped sew
