RATE OF DEPRECIATION vARIE!

One per cent depreciation might suf-
flee as charge against very sub
stantial brick or. stone building. On
some frame buildings the rate will run
as high as or 4 per cent. Against
farm machinery the rate varies even
more widely. It may run between 5
and 20 per cent, and depends principal
ly upon the implement itself and in
the way it is used. The office of
farm management, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, believes that
rate somewhere between z and IL
per cent will be nearly correct for
most farm machinery. 1t is largely
a matter of Individual observation, as
no two farms are exactly alike in this
respect.

"ExECUTED" HIS DEAD BODY
stern Decree OF Justice Carried Out on
Corpse Of Ancient Dalmatlan
Archbishop.

Dalmatia has made rapid strides in
culture, however, being one of per-
sonal achievement rather than public
Advancement. cara, its largest city,
for example, had no printing press I'M
til 1896, while Venetian Dalmatia had
only one public school in the eighteenth
century.
Roger Joseph Boscovitch, one ia
nous son of Dalmatia, was esteemed
by scientists for his work setting forth
a new atomic theory, but more popu-
larly known because of the adoption
of his plan for assuring the upright
ness of the dome of st. Peters at Rome
when crack was discovered in it. He
wrote verse unanimously, but not as
successfully as he wrote his numerous
scientific treatises.
Marco Antonio de Dominis, another
Dalmatian of public note, mingled the
ology and natural philosophy with
serious consequences to himself. He
set forth the first correct explanation
Of the rainbow, but his theological
career was less fruitful. AS archbishop
of Spalato he attacked his superiors
In his writings, fled to England, re-
turned to Rome, then did penance by
writing a book refuting his heretical
works He was tried, but died before
the trial ended The trial went on and
he was sentenced to be dragged
through the streets of Rome and
burned publicly. His body was re-
moved from his coffin and the sentence
srNcuted.
