was burned early Monday morning The
car was of the Eastman heater style and

had reached Clinton it was discovered
that the potato car was atire. 1t was de-
tached from the train and placed on
siding. Nothing could be done to stop
the confagration. so the car was burned
to the rails, leaving the steel and iron
work. The wrecking crew from Water
vile was engaged for some time in re-
moving the wheels and other iron work
of the car from the tracks to the wreck
ing train fiat car. There were about 400
bushels of potatoes burned in the car

developed not long ago when a native
decided to build in Tokyo on the
ground formerly occupied by the Ichi-
gaya Jail. The carpenters would not
begin work until the priest had been
called in and purified the spot. He
brought with him bamboo rods and

and west, uttering his formula -four
times and scattering bits Of paper and

Trea Rark Glua aruah.

An excellent glue brush for the cabi.
netmaker or carpenter can be made
from a piece Of elm tree bark. which
may usually be found in the yard Of
q furniture factory. wagon shop or
any hardwood lumber yard. With q
sharp knife whittle away the brittle
outer bark down to the svhite fiber
or inner side Of the bark Of which the
brush is to be made. Cut piece Of
this to the length and width required
for the brush. Soak one end Of this
piece in hot water for a few minutes.
Lay the water soaked end on a hard
substance, such as piece of iron or
hard wood. and beat it out with a
hammer. dipping it in the water oc-
casionally to keep it thoroughly wet
The beating will cause the tough fibers
Of the bark to separate ut the end,
these forming an excellent and mex
pensive brush which never sheds hairs
and lasts longer than the cheap brush
commonly sold at the stores.-Popular

Folk Songs Of Serxia.

The folk songs of Servia are less
known outside the borders Of that
country than the songs Of any other
nation. but some day great musician
is expected to arise and make the
Servian music known throughout the
world. just as the composers Of Aus
tria. Vienna and Russia have made
their folk songs known.
1t is in these folk songs that the
Servians express chiefly their devotion
to their country and their intense pa
triotism. There are. Of course. love
songs, death songs and harvest songs,
but it is in these wild patriotic out
bursts that the Servian spirit is best
shown.

ing by Immersion and by Compressed
Air" One method, for such articles
as hooks and eyes. eyelets and very
small iron parts generally which. can
not be successfully dipped or sprayed.
is known as "tumbling." The articles
are placed in machine something
like a churn. together with a number
of steel balls, usually of very small
diameter. and given quantity Of
japan. The churn is then closed down
and given a dozen or so rapid turns.
during which the steel balls carry the
japan to every part of the articles.
The contents Of the churn are then
dumped out on to wire trays. These
being agitated, the steel balls fall
through the meshes. leaving the paint
ed iron parts behind.

Bridgeport. Conn. Feb. Thames H.
O'Rourke, president Of the Eastern
Baseball Association made the follow
ing statement tonight concerning the
decision to merge the New England and
Eastern Leagues:
II expected it.. The report from Au-
burn merely covers the tracks Of the
merger men. The ruling ignores the
principles of law which are entirely in
our favor; it ignores the laws and con-
stitution Of organized baseball and is
based on mere statements. There is no
justification for the decision. I shall
consult with the directors Of the East

of an appeal to the National Board, the
