Thirty Seven Fonilles

BY J. J.B, JOHNSONlUS

The first seven families of Amer
icanized Russians reached William
son county last week to take pos
session of lands to the amount OF
more than a thousand acres to
which a colony Of thirty-seven fam
lilies has secured title. The land
was owned before it was transferred
to the Russians by Hon. P. E. Cox,
of Williamson county, and the immi-
grants were secured through the ef-
forts of Hon. John j. B. Johnsonius,
of Paris, former State immigration
agent, who visited them in their
homes. in the Northwest and pre-
vailed upon them to consider Ten
nessee iu connection with other
states with which they had been
negotiating.
The body Of land secured will be
divided into farms from forty to
one hundred and twenty acres and
the new farmers will engage in gen.
eral farming, gardening, fruit grow
ing and dairying.
The seven who came last week
and settled at a point in Williamson
county at the distance of an hour
and thirty minutes drive from Nash
vile, brought with them several car
loads Of household goods, vehicles,
implements and two autos, one be-
ing an auto truck on which to carry
products to the Nashville market.
The new men without delay de-
posted about $4,000 in Nashville
banks besides spending in the city
some $4,000 for implements and
household goods which they at first
intended purchasing in Chicago un-
til Mr.. Johnsonius prevailed upon
them to wait and investigates Nash
vile prices. On each of the tracts
OF land there has already been erect
ed four room house with all con-
veniences and the Russian-Ameri-
can farmers express themselves as
well pleased with the land and ev-
erything else in connection with their
venture. The postoffice address Of
the colony is Linton.

IRISHMAN LED GAME

Ringside, Madison Square Garden,
New York, March 25.-Jess Willard
Willard retains the worlds heavy
weight championship.
In ten-round bout the champion
won seven rounds, the challenger
won one and two were even.
With constant smile and laugh
Willard battered and bruised Moran
through the first seven rounds, us
ing his left effectively while he toy
ed at the Irishman with his right,
although the third round was Mo-
rams on points. In the eighth and
ninth rounds the champion let up
on his opponent and permitted an
even break of honors.. The tenth
round was Wizards
After the first two rounds the pu-
lgilists fought like wild men with
Moran bleeding profusely from split
eyes and face cuts while Willard
forced him back around the ring.
Moran was seldom able to touch
the champion and whenever he did
his blows did not stageer Willard
who fought with cool and clever de-
termination,
Nearly thirteen thousand specta-
tors witnessed the effort of Frank
Moran to wrest- the title from Viii.
lard.
Wizards purse was $47,500.
Moran by contract gets $23,750.
For a week or more Moran was
confidently predicting that he would
win the championship with a knock
out and set the time for the blow in
the seventh or eighth round. He
had also prepared for big recep-
ton and celebration after the fight.
Although Moran fought gamely
and stood the punishment with re-
markable bravery he did not have
a chance to win after Willard had
unlimbered his mighty jabs.-Jack-

Submarine Booms Trade.

In these days with many visitors
rambling around, the telescope man on
the Battery sea wall does a land office
business. Possibly it is his descrip-
ton of the remarkable sights to be
seen by means of his long, glass that
is responsible for the trade. Some of
them are described on a neat canvas
sign as follows:
This telescope shows Statue of Lib
erty, ia miles away and 3o5 feet high.
Also cannon, forts and soldiers on Gov
ernor's island. Liners and ships may
be seen, including captains and pas
sengers. Views 5 cents"
Perhaps there is in the last SEN
tence a subtle suggestion that the lin
ers may be summarized; in other
words, stake a last look at your
friends" At any rate he never fails
to call attention to passing liners
which mount guns for defense against
submarine guns, demanding that pass
ersby take this chance of getting a
good look at the guns mounted on the
stern. This is a never-failing attrac-
ton nowadays and means a fresh
shower of nickels for the telescope
man.-New York Times.

Dry Plates.

On q recent evening during a rain
storm, and while the downpour was
heaviest, a man dropped one of numer-
Il packages he a carrying, just as
he crossed Meridian street, hear the
public library, and passed on, unaware
of his loss. The incident was wit
messed by many persons who had
sought the shelter in the entrance to
the library, and by many others watch
ing the storm from the windows of
the Board of Trade building. For full
~ ten minutes it lay in the rain, seem
ingly an object of much curiosity to
those who had seen it tumble from
the mans arms. Then a young man
in the Board of Trade building, urged
on by his fellow-employees, braved the
torrent, and swapping the package TN
der his coat, rushed back to his office,
the others crowding round him while
he hastily removed the ~rain-soaked
cover to inspect his find. This is what
he read:
Photographic dry plates. Keep in

NOTES ON POPULAR SCIENCE
Some Items of interest on Grave SUBJ
jects, With q Smile Ia Each
One Of Them.

WR SAL
An extremely simple device for re-
moving ordinary stains from the hands
Is a sink, cake Of soap, hot water and
towel.
Few people know this, but it is true,
that you may always secure a seat in
a street cur by going early to the car
barn and starting out with the car.
Even the most skilled musicians
have been unable to play Annie Laurie
on a shoe horn.
Ten pounds of lead nodded to fit
inside your hat will prevent it from
blowing off at windy street corners
one t~easpoonful Of blasting powder
smoked in a pipe viii almost instantly
remove the offensive strong odor.
No steamships have put in at Tomb
stone, Ariz., since America was dis
covered.
Ordinary white cotton thread is so
pliable that it may be wound around
a spool without breaking.
There is enough wood in q cord Of
wooden toothpicks to make a pile eight
feet long, four feet high and four feet
wide.
1t has been discovered that the wild
est part OF the Atlantic ocean lies be-
tween the points of land farthest
apart.
Three thousand miles of safety razor
blades placed in a row would reach
from New York to San Francisco. If
they were placed in the opposite direc-
tioa they would reach from San Fran
cisco to New York.
The highest-priced motion picture
known was the Mona Lisa.
Scientists have proved that ordinary
malleable iron makes better nails than
watermelon seeds.
A sure test for eggs-place the egg
on a car track. If the car is derailed
but the egg uninjured the egg is prob
ably indigestible.
Three tablespoonfufs of salt added
to a glass of water will make it quite
unfit for drinking purposes.
If a pin refuses, to enter the cloth,
although you push it firmly, but it
penetrates your thumb, examine it
closely. The chances are you were
trying to push it head first.
The dark spots on blotting paper are
frequently caused by the absorption Of
ordinary writing ink. Z
For swallowing purposes an open
safety pin is liz times more danger
Gus than a gum drop.
