WOMAN BEGAN LONG DISPUTE
Shakespeare-Bacon Controversy Had
Its Origin in Book Published by
American Author.

The long-drawn-out controversy over
the authorship of the Shakespearean
plays had its origin in a remarkable
book written by an American woman,
Della Bacon, a native of Tallmadge,
o., with a preface written by her
friend, Nathaniel Hawthorne. She was
woman of intense application and
capacity for esoteric study and her
book was the product Of a lifetime
spent In the feverish pursuit Of her
hobby. Her book was entitled "The
Philosophy of the Plays Of Shake
speare Unfolded," copies of which are
now rare. as it has long been out Of
print.
The book is written in very labori-
GUS style, difficult to read. Some Of
the sentences are three to four hun
dred words long, but the entire work
shows evidences Of intense study Of
the works Of the poet ard mastery
knowledge of the history Of Shake
speare's period.
The intense obsession with which
she pursued her theories brought her
life to tragic end. Becoming con-
vinced that Shakespeare's secret was
hidden in his tomb at Stratford, she
went to reside there to confirm her re-
searches. She was found one mid
night at the tomb, muttering incoher-
emily, and evidently making prepare
tons to open the tomb In search Of
concealed manuscripts which she be-
lieved had been inferred with the body
of the poet, beneath the cryptic In
scription, "Good friend, for Jesus
sake forbear to dig the bones inclosed
here" She was removed to an asylum.

CARE COULD NOT SAVE TREE
Gigantic Banyan in the Botanic Gar
Z den at Calcutta Is Reported to
Be Dying.

No tree in the world has had greater
care bestowed upon it than the great
banyan tree in the Botanic garden ut
Calcutta, which is reported to be dy-
ing, says the "Way of the World" col
umnist Of the London Morning Post.
Every tender succulent young root,
as 1t begins to fall like stalactite
from the branch overhead is encase1
and protected from harm in bamboo.
1t is not improbable that the original
trunks will vanish altogether and
leave the still expanding outer growths
as a ring Of vegetation round an
empty circle. The mother trunk is ar
almost shapeless mass by this time
and contributes very little to the sus-
tenance of the multitudinous progeny.
This Calcutta specimen is supposed to
have fifteen aerial roots, number
from which, it is probable, that a
cipher has been accidentally omitted.

To Prevent Steel Rustinu.

Steel which has become rusty cali
be cleaned by brushing it with paste
composed as follows: Half an ounce
of cyanide of potassium, half an ounce
Of CASTLE soap, an ounce of whiting
and water sufficient to form the paste.
The steel should be washed after the
paste has been applied, in a solution
of half an ounce of cyanide of potas-
stun in two ounces Of water On the
other hand rust may be prevented on
steel parts by applying the following
mixture with brush, just as If it
were yarnish: One part caoutchouc.
16 parts turpentine. These ingredi-
ents must be dissolved in gentle
heat and then eight parts of boiled
oil should be added. The whole is
now mixed by bringing them to boil
ing heat. This material may besre-
moved by the use Of turpentine.
