When to Plant Potatoes.

When to Plant Potatoes.
Early planted potatoes have
generally yielded the heaviest in
tests made at the Ohio Expert
ment Station, although garden
ers say loss will result from plan
tings made before the weather is
fairly well settled and danger of
frost past. In the region of north
ern Ohio the first two weeks in
May are considered most suita-
BILE. On the experiment station
farm at Wooster yields of pota-
toes have gradually fallen off
from seed planted after about the
middle of May. In the latitude
of southern Ohio tubers may be
planted the last week in April.

EXECUTION OF NEY.

The following are the principal de-
tails subsequent to the judgment or
Marshal Ney. We decline ofrerlng
any comment and merely state facts:
1.-THE Marshal on entering his CHAM
Der, at the time the, court was deliber-
ating on his sentence appeared highly
animated and supported by the
strongest resolution. He embraced
his counsel (M. Berryer) who said to
the Marshal, You would have it So
"swell, my dear friend" answered
the Marshal, Tt is finished; we shall
see each other in another world He
then asked to dine and ate with
great appetite; he noticed a small
knife lying on the table. which on
finding it attracted attention ana
caused uneasiness to the persons ap-
pointed to guard him. DO you think,
said he, on looking at them. that
fear death?' and instantly threw the
knife far from him. After dinner the
Marshal smoked a sigar and then
threw himself on the bed where he
slept quietly for two hours"
According to the terms of the pro-
cess the CheYalier Cauchy read the
sentence to the Marshal, who asked
for the consolation of religion, and
expressed a desire to be assisted by
Mr.. Pierre, relation Of the Cardinal
of Bernis and curate OF st. Sulpice
The estimable ecclesiastic fastened to
attend him, they passed the night to-
gether. The Marshal still maintained
the same degree of fortitude and res
ignation to his fate, which had actu-
ated him throughout the whole pro-
ceedings.

TORNADO KILLS
SCORE; MILLION
DOLLARS LOSS

Newcastle, Ind, March 1.-THE
death list from the tornado that swept
Newcastle yesterday afternoon was "a
early today and searchers were still
digging in the ruins for other vic
TINS. A score or more persons were
reported to be missing, while hospitals
were crowded with several hundred
patients suffering from more or less
serious, injuries According to the
best estimate obtaina!ble, the property
damage will reach at least 81 ,0O0, 900.
One hundred homes were demol-
ished and approximately 1000 were
damaged. Early today it was appar-
emit that a complete list Of the dead
and injured and the extent of the
property damage could not be COM
piled for several days. A citizen COM
mittee sworn in by Mayor Watkins
wrecked homes until the arrival of
Indiana national guardsmen who were
ordered here by Gov. Goodrich.
The tornado struck the city from the
west after dwelling the rolling mills
of \ Blue River Valley. It swept
through the etnire width of the city
from Sixth to 25th street The first
homes in the path of the twister were
practically levelled to the ground, af-
ter which the wind apparently raised
slightly, taking the roofs from the
houses from 10th to goth streets, where
it again dipped, sweeping practically
every house before it to 25th street.
The greatest damage was done in the
southern part of the city, where
great many factory employees reside,
and several thousand were homeless
throughout the night
The death loss was all in the south
eastern part Of the city, where the
wind struck low.
The tornado cut path from 300~to
500 feet In width throughout the city
for a distance of 18 blocks. It entered
the city limits near the southwestern
boundary and worked it's way in a
ztgzag manner northward for two
blocks and then eastward. 1t turned
south near the eastern limits and left
the city in a southeasterly direction
Most Of the dead were taken from
homes that were completely demol-
ished. Many persons escaped injury
by rushing into cellars as the storm
struck the city.

THE man Who
BURNED MOSCOW

Feodor Vasilievich, Count Rostop-
chin, was a Russian-born 152 years
ago today-who gained immortality
by ordering Moscow fired when Napo-
leon approached the ancient cap1tai
Of Russia, and by this heroic means
defeated the aims and upset the plans
Of the victorious Corsican. Count
Rostopchin later turned to literature,
and he left as an example for other
great men a biography printed on
single page. Some Of the entries in
thta remarkable autobiography were:
MY Birth.-On the 18th of March,
1865, I emerged from darkness into
the light of day. I was measured,
was weighed, 1 was baptized. l was
born without knowing wherefore, and
my parents thanked Heaven, without
knowing for what.
my EducatiOn.-I was taught all
sorts of things, and learned all sorts
of languages. By dint of impudence
and quackery I sometimes passed for
a savant.

HOW A SUBMARINE NET WORKS.

A submarine net is made Of wire
rope, about as thick as lead pencil,
and about 10 or Is feet square. The
net has floats on top that keep bobbing
up and down like the float on a fish
line and on the bottom are weights
that keep the whole thing in a per-
pendicular position. The submarine
cannot submerge to very great depths
on account of the pressure-200 feet
being about the limiting depth. 1t
sails tnnocently along, therefore, until
1t pushes its nose into these meshes.
The net now trails along on both sides
OF the submarine-its progress re-
vealing the fact that something below
Is supplying the motive power. Per-
hap the net suddenly stops; that
means that the hidden submarine has
stopped, its navigators having made
the horrible discovery that they are
trapped-or perhaps the net has be-
come twisted in the propeller. Under
these conditions the wise submarine
rises to the surface. It surrenders
becomes the property Of the enemy,
and it's crew are made prisoners. If
it does not take such action one Of
two things will happen. The enemy
will wait upon the surface until the
submersible comes up OF, II it starts
moving, the enemy will follow until
the inevitable uprising. But perhaps
the surface commander gets impa-
ttent; in such case he can let q
bomb down into the water. which will
explode when It touches the roof of
the submarine. OF course, the sub
merged Germans know that this bomb
Is likely to drop at any minute; the
s'psych ology' of such situation tends
to persuade the Imprisoned crew to
surrender.-The Worlds Work for
March.
