AND "MR. FR0HMAN" MARCHED
Super's Time of Joy Cut Short When His "Star" Appeared on
 the Scene.

B. H. Sothern tells an amusing story of super who was once in his em- ploy.
 Having parted with one of the members of the company in Chi cago, said MT. Sothern, q took into the fold a man who was act ing sort of leader of supers. I used to hear the people address him as Doc and one day I asked him why he was entitled to this distinc- tion. He said that he had at ope time worked in a bicycle repair shop.
 Shortly after, I asked him one evening, while I was dressing after the play, to take my little dog out for a walk. He did not return, and as I passed barroom on my way home, I saw my dog sitting on a chair. I entered and found the dog was contemplating the actor who was leaning on the bar with his back to me. He was surrounded by dozen men who seemed to be treat ing.
 "As I stood watching the picture, one of the treaters said, addressing my friend: Really, MT. Frohman, so you think you will not bring MT. Sothern to Chicago again?' No, sir,' said the supposed MT. Frohman, this town doesn't suit me! It ain't no good! My star can't play to more than twenty or twenty-five thousand week here, and that don't do us no good
 While his listeners stood open mouthed at this idea of poor busi- ness, called out: 'Smythe!' The glass fell from his hand, the dog jumped of the chair, and MT. Froh- man, the great manager, followed me into the street,

KNOW NOTHING OF RESULTS
Men in the Submarines Simply Obey Orders That Are Given by the
 Commander.

in the Berliner Tageblatt Herr Ar mold Hoelriegel tells of trip to the Austrian submarine which torpedoed the Italian submarine Medusa.
 T was in the interior of this famous U-boat, he writes. "The big blond lieutenant showed me every part of the delicate machinery and explained how the torpedo is loaded and fired. I was amazed at the amount of metal and glass and wire and pipe in that comparatively. small space in which there is scarcely room to move about.
 The lieutenant told me the story of an accident to the machinery, as a result of which they never expected to come to the surface again. They were 20 hours under water, and during that time the engineer and mechanic worked without moments respite to repair the break.
 "All hope had been abandoned and the crew were breathing heavily in the vitiated atmosphere, when sudden ly the submarine began to rise slowly, and when it reached the surface all hands went on deck to breathe the fresh air.
 Describing the sinking of the Me- dusa the lieutenant said:
 "'We were lying outside the harbor of Venice in smooth water The con- mander had his eyes glued to the periscope. We, of course, see noth- ing and all we do is carry out his orders.
 Suddenly we begin to maneuver. Evidently something is about to oc- cur. Only small part of the peri scope is above the water; then we dive again.
 Presently we can hear the sound of another motor in our vicinity. The commander shouts the order to have our torpedo ready. Quick and will ing hands respond. The order is given to fire, and the deadly instru- ment speeds on it's way. We hear the explosion, but whether we hit the mark we were, of course un- able to tell, as we quickly turned and sped away"

APPLE TREE HAS MONUMENT
Canadian Farmers Recognize Worthy Part Played by Progenitor of Fruit
 in the Dominion.

Perhaps one of the most curious monuments in existence has recently been built in Ontario by Canadians. The farmers have just erected mar ble pillar to mark the site on which grew famous apple tree.
 More than century ago a settler in Canada named Mcintosh, when clearing a space in which to make a home in the wilderness, discovered among a number of wild apple trees one which bore fruit so well that he cultivated it and named it Mcintosh Red.
 The apple became famous; seeds and cuttings were distributed to all parts of Canada, so that now the Me Intosn Red f1ourishes wherever apples grow in the great Dominion. Tn 1896, the original tree from which this enor. nous family sprang was injured by ire; but it continued to bear fruit un. til five years ago. Then, after 15 years, it died, and the grateful farm. CTS have raised marble pillar in honor of the tree which has done SC much for the fruit-growing industry oi their land.
 The story of this apple tree illus trates the African proverb that though you can count the apples on one tree you can never count the trees in ons apple.-Popular Science Monthly.

A Woman Among the Glaciers.

N SN'''S'S s''S Sr'eS'S'Ss
 A woman, Dora Keen, has dared what no men have tried to do since 1794, piloting an expedition on gla- cier trip from Valdez on the southern coast of Alaska to the Harvard gla- cier at the head of College fjord, in Prince William sound. She was guide for party of three men. The first risk was from the ice falling from the ends of the glacier, and after es- caping death there they climbed to the surface of the glacier. It took nine days to advance seven miles, and on tie ninth day they passed the fuel line. One day it took three hours to travel a quarter of mile. The party travelled over deep ere vases, some open, some deeply yelled with snow and some bridged with slip pery ice bridges. A fall into one of these chasms was likely to be fatal. The men carried packs that weighed 60 pounds, and Miss Keen's weighed 25. These packs and the ice axes that each carried made jumping difficult. Miss Keen says that the beauty of the mountains repaid for the lack of com forts.

To Supply British Juror Shortage

How is the shortage of jurors occa. stoned by the war to be remedied? Sir George Lewis proposes, in a contribu. tion to the Law Journal, the imme. diate adoption of the recommendation made by Lord Mersey's committee that the right to trial by jury should be restricted. The committee, or rather the majority of it's members, proposed that the question whether an action should be tried by a jury, except an ac. tion affecting personal character, should be determined by judge. Thus the supply of jurymen would be made sufficient by reducing the de. mand upon their services.-London Globe.

The Electromaanet in War.

The electromagnet has long been used by surgeons to extract splinters from the eye. It has not proved so serviceable when it's use has been ex- tended to other parts of the body. In the present war surgeons found that deep-lying fragments of shrapnel are literally torn out by the magnet, with the result that gaping wounds are produced which are difficult to handle For that reason army surgeons, in Ger. many, at least, prefer to restrict the use of the electromagnet to those cases in which the steel splinters lie very near the surface.

American-made Bibles are reported as now the best sellers" among all books. It is estimated that the year now closing will show an increase of 50 per cent in the sale of our Bibles over the best previous years record. The war has interfered with the printing of Bibles in the countries af- fected, hence the demand for the American product.

Cause of Cotton Wilt.

To the Editor of the News and
Courier: I notice in a recent issue
Of your paper that the farm demon
stration agent of Orangeburg county
is making investigations into cotton
wilt, which has caused much damage
this year. Scientists claim that wilt
is caused by bacteria stopping the
flow of sap. Science never made a
worse mistake. Wilt is caused by
sulphuric acid. Take land where sui
phuric acid has never been used and
wilt in cotton or any other plant is
unknown. I made this discovery sew
eral years ago and since then I have
proved it out on small scales every
year. Any farmer on sandy land can
cause his cotton to have wilt or black
root in five years, provided he will
put heavy applications of acid phos-
phate or phosphate made up of acid
phosphate each year, and plant cot
ton on the same land for five years.
Any farmer can cause wilt on his
farm in one year if he will plant
cotton seed grown out of the phos-
phate zone. This year I planted one
row, heavily phosphated with seed
from the West, where acid phosphate
is unknown, also seed from Siam,
where acid phosphate is also un-
known. The phosphate was not used
on one part of the row, and all the
cotton lived. Where the phosphate
was applied every stalk of the cotton
from the West died except one and
that one was badly diseased. Of the
Asiatic cotton three stalks survived.
On five acres heavy application
of phosphates were used. Seed were
planted grown on clay land in the up
per part of the State. Half of the
cotton plants died or were diseased.
Mind you, wilt does not injure cot
ton to any great extent on clay land.
There is something in clay lands that
counteracts the ill-effects of sulphur
ic acid on clay soils. The soil chem
ical that neutralizes sulphuric acid
on clay land is not found in sandy
soil.
Another test. Ground phosphate
rock was used on part of my farm.
Not single stalk appeared on that
part of the farm, but where phos-
pilates were used having sulphuric
acid in them, wilt was plentiful, to
the last row.
1 am now applying ground rock to
my grain crop and will use it on
my entire cotton crop next year. OF
course, it acts slow, and to give the
young plants start small applica-
ton of dried blood will be used; only
few pounds per acre, and of course,
a slower acting ammoniate than
DlOOQ Will dlSO US uSSu W SdllS I1lC
crop to maturity. Beware of phos-
pilates containing sulphuric acid if
you farm in the sand belt. Truck
growers will also profit by my expert
ence, for cotton is not the only plant
that dies from sulphuric acid poison
ing, known to the learned-scien-
tists-as wilt, cabbage, beans, peas
tomatoes, etc., die from it. If you
practice regular rotation, cotton
one year, corn and peas the next, and
small grain and peas, following corn
and peas, there is no danger in using
phosphates containing sulphuric acid,
as the rotation takes up or makes
harmless the acid.
