HOW A TREE IS MURDERED.
il Instance Which Illustrates th
Difficulty of Destroying
One.
A gentleman of means living in a subt
urban town tells how his mother onct
I undertook to murder a cherry tree, saya
; the Chicago Chronicle. “I was a boy
at the time,” be said. "The tree stood
on our lawn; it had been planted by my
father, and he loved it with a parental
affection; but It was an eyesore to my
mother, for she thought it spoiled ths
looks of the garden.
"She decided to murder it secretly,
because she knew that my father would
never consent to its removal. For a
long time she pondered, asking herself
how she might kill the tree without be*
ing detected, and finally she decided
that she would use for her weapon boil
ing water. Accordingly whenever my
father was away she would get a kettle
and, tiptoeing out to the tree with a
guilty look, she would pour boiling
water upon its roots.
“At first the tree showed no shange
irider this treatment. After a time,
though, a change began to manifeat
Itself. My father noticed it.
“ ‘By jove,’ he said, ‘my cherry tree
*eems unusually fine and hearty.’
“And this was a fact. The more boil
ing water my mother poured on the
roots the more the tree thrived and
flourished. Finally, In despair, she gavt
up trying to commit her vegetable mur
der.
“A florist, to whom she narrated thi»
strange story one day, laughed when he
heard it. He said it was no wonder the
tree had gotten along eo well. He do'
dared that boiling water was often
used on trees, as It killed off the worms
end bugs-molesting them.”
The Magnetic North.
The belief in the constancy of the
magnetic compass to the north pole haa
not the least foundation in fact. At ev
ery different place on the globe it point*
in a different direction, and only one or
two of them are due north. In London,
for instance, it points to a place abo*it
17 degrees west of north. Seventy-**!
years ago it was still further away, be
ing then 24^4 degrees, or a quarter of
the way around to the west. In the year
15S0 it pointed 11 degrees east. Then it
began to move north till 1659, when it
pointed due north. But it remained
thus only for a moment, passing around
to Its greatest deflection in 160 years.
Vgaln it turned in 1820, and is still mov
ing nearer the north. It will not reach
that point for nearly a century and a
\alf, and so it will go on backward and
Vx/ward forever.—N. T. Herald.

QUEER ACCIDENTS TO GUNS.
Mtslinpa on a Brltifcli Battleship Thai
Canned Fear Among
the Crew.
While the British battleship Thun
derer was off Milford Haven, Wales
not long ago a curious accident tc
one of her guns caused much alarm
among her crew, A target had been
put out for practice with the ten-inch
breechloading guns. When one was
fired by electricity only a portion of
the projectile was discharged, the
base plate of the shot and a portion
of the frame being left in the gun.
When the plate was removed the pres
sure of gas forced a portion of the
projectile from the breech of the gun.
On the second gun being fired a hole
about three inches in diameter was
blown through the projectile, the
other part of the base plate being left
behind. The base plate was in this
case separated from the rest of the
projectile.
Such accidents are believed never
previously to have occurred on board
any ship. There w'as much alarm
among those in the turret, as the
bursting of the guns was for a time
feared. It is suggested that either
the powder in the projectiles was
damp or there was water in the guns.
So far as can be seen both guns ar«
sound.
FINDS BOOK OF MORMON.
Illinois Farmer Makes the Claim Thai
He Dug I'p the Original
Manuscript.
Interest has been created at Carbon
dale, 111., over a discovery made by
Marshal Fenrod, who lives on a farm
near Dongola. Recently Penrod
grubbed a black oak stump out of a po
tato field close to his residence and
found a stone about a foot long and
eight inches ill diameter. The peculiar
shape of the stone, which lestmbled a
pocketbook, attracted his attention,
and, upon close examination, lie found
carved on its face in the English lan
guage the following words: “This
stone contains the original manuscript
ijf Moroni (Mormon).—Joseph Smith."
The ravages of time had apparently
made hut little headway on the stone
and upon closer examination he found
the stone was hollow and a hole drilled
entirely through it and at both ends
red cedar plugs had been driven in.
Upon removing one of the plugs several
sheets of parchment were found con
taining writing in hieroglyphic* that
could not be deciphered.

RADIUM EMANATIONS,
Scientist Thinks the Wonderful Sag.
Stance Can Be Used to Cure
Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
Frederick Soddy, Who was Prof. Ruth*
•rford, assistant at McGill university,
in Montreal, has suggested another use
(or radium. He argues that as it has
been found to cure consumption of the
■kin (lupus), it should also cure con
sumption of the lungs, if its rays can be
brought to bear directly on the diseased
lung tissue, without any intervening
substances, such as the chest wall. At
first sight, says the Scientific American,
this seems rather a difficult thing to do,
as It Is, of course, out of the question to
place any solid mass of radium within
the lungs themselves. But recent stud
ies have shown that radium In a solution
gives off a gas and that this gas is ItseU
radio-active. So all that is necessary to
subject the Internal lung tissue to the
direct action of radium rays Is to breathe
a mixture of air and the radium gas. By
thla means Mr. Soddy believes a new and
valuable remedy for consumption will b
available to the pathologist. The rays
1 from radium have already proved use
| (ul in the treatment of several forms of
akin disease, and It has been suggested
that the Insertion of minute particles
of radium In the Interior of a cancer Is
worth trying. It should be remembered,
however, that even If radium proves val
uable in the treatment of pulmonary tu
berculosls, lte cost is so high—several
hundred dollars & grain—that it could
got come Into general use under present
•auditions.
