1 AN AMERICAN ENGINEER.
One of the- most remarkable stories of
recent military history, one which is
too little known In this country. Is thnt
of Gwrne V. I.nbrnin, of Ivtrolt, who
was killed In the defense of Kiiulerley
in the Hoer Wnr. So iiiuch did h'.s
nchleveinents have to do with the ulti
mate safety of the diamond camp that
he. received the thanks of the British
government, and was referred to by
Lord Roberts, as having done some
thing unparalleled in modern warfare.
Mr. Labram was, at the outbreak of
the war, says a writer In the Ceutury
Mngmlne, chief engineer of the De
Beers consolidated mines, n position to
which be had succeeded nfter having
installed American machinery there.
The Uoers almost at once besieged
the town. Mr. lnl rain, Feeing that there
was a considerable stock of cattle
which probably could not long be kept
grazing, and knowing that the meat
would not keep more than ft day, at
once set about the construction of a
large refrigerator plant, using, at Cecil
Hhode's direction, the shops of the com
pany for material and apparatus.
Without further assistance than th
mlnlng-camp could provide he accom
plished this difficult feat. The cattle
were slaughtered, and the fleRh was
kept sweet until needed. It supplied
the garrison for many weeks.
While this was going on Mr. Labram
planned and constructed a telephone
system connecting every part of tho
fortifications of the town, and built an
elevated steel "connlng-tower" In the
town, to which all lines ran, so thnt tho
defense could be directed from that
point.
When the Boers cut the mains which
brought water to the city and thus
threatened to drive out the garrison,
Mr. Labram Instulled n pumping sys
tem, and secured nn ample flow of
water from a deep pit In one of tho
dlnmond-mlnes. To prevent night at
tacks, he Improvised a number of huge
search-lights, and mounted them on tlie
pomera of the fortifications, whence
every night they swept the surround
Inc nlalns.
The siege had not continued long De-
fore the garrison began to run short
of shells for their twelve seven-iunder
guns. Shell-making Is a highly special
ized trade; but Mr. Labram, arter ex
amining a seven-pound shell, designed
on entirely new missile of bis own to
fit the guns, and began In a short time
turning them out of his machine-shop
at the rate of sixty or seventy a any
shells so good thnt nfter on exhaus
tive test in service they were praised
as "extraordinary" by military experts.
But ammunition for seven-poundera
was not enough. The Boers soon
brought up a huge Creusot cannon, of
six-Inch caliber, which was able to
bombard the town from a long distance,
and It not replied to, wouhl soon havo
wiped out the defenders. Mr. Labram
sat about constructing, with the facili
ties of the diamond-mine repair-shops,
a cannon which could reply. From some
steel billets designed for shafting and
several bars of Iron he built a four-inr-h
hreech-londing rifle of nn excel
lent type. To complete this he had to
design and build special mncliinery, ami
mu?h of the work was done under Are.
Nevertheless It was accomplished lti
twenty-four days. During the same
time a quantity of twenty-elght-pound
shells were made to use in the gun. Tho
range of the rifle was more than eight
thousand yards, and It successfully held
the Boers back until the rescuers came.
Mr. Labrnm himself did not live to
see victory achieved. Less than a week
before the relief enme a shell from the
iwr Preusot entered his room and
killed him instantly. He was burlei.

To Kill Sassafras Itoote.
Says one writer : Sassafrns Is one of
the worst pests that some farmers have
to contend with. It may be grubbed
ypar after year and every root taken
out that con be, and still there will -be
roots left that will sprout up, and soon
the sassafras will be thicker than ever,
and the area of sassafras brush will
be enlarged rather than diminished.
No amount of grubbing will permanent
ly rid a field of sassafras. The most
successful method of fighting sassafrns
I have ever tried Is to cut off the
sprout at the top of the ground and to
pasture with cattle and sheep until the
roots die, or if the trees nre large, peel
them two or three feet above the
ground and pasture until the roots die.
If the land Is plowed and the roots
broken, they will sprout, but if pns
tured close the roots die In a few years,

sometimes lay thirty to forty eggs i

F.very tree In an orchard should be
washed at lenst twice a year with
strong soapsuds, but there will be no
necessity for ecroplng them. The cat-
rplliars should be destroyed as soon
a the nests are seen, which will end
large numbers with amazing rapidity ;
the escape of a single pair means thou
sands next season. One of the best
assistants to nn orchard Is the little
wren. If farmers will give him prop
er protection by constructing boxes
with entrances so small thnt no bird
but a wren can enter, the sparrow will
be unable to drive It away. As the
wren Is an active and busy creature, it
destroys a large number of Insects In
very short time, and, as It Increases
rapidly under favorable circumstances,
quite a large number of them mny be
secured and Induced to remain in the

In Argentina, ns In Africa and Asia,
the locust is a name of dread, though
not to anything like the same extent,
and In South America there hns nrlsen
a hope of combatting the destroyer
which may prove of enormous value In
regions more liable to devastation.
Large nnmbers of locusts were found
dead and microscopical examination
showed that they had been destroyed
by a natural enemy a species of fly
which ate into the body of the locust,
and there deposited its larvaj which de
veloped Into a life prodigiously multi
plied. Experiments are now being made
to test whether this fly con thrive In
regions which are recognized as the
incubating places of the locust The

Potato Spray-Ins; Saved f 22 per Aere,
In the efforts to moke potato spray
ing popular among the farmers of the
State, the New York experiment station
at Geneva has been carrying on co-op
erative tests with farmers in all parts
of the State. As a result of the spray
lug carried on by forty-one farmers on
a total of 303 acres, the average gain
due to spraying was fifty-eight bushels
per acre, at a cost of about $ 5 per acre,
giving a net profit of about ?22 per acre,
cfter paying the expense of spraying.
As a result of this good work It Is as
serted that the practice of spraying is
on the Increase in New York.

The sooner you get the early hatch

it will be for them. It Is pretty hard
to teach brooder chlckent. not to go

want to take them away from the

house. Either take the brooder out of
sight, or move your chicks to another
lot where they can't see It. Do not take
them from the brooder until they have
learned to get on without artificial
beat, or they will huddle In the cor

If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the
game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy
ensures the commendatiortSof the well informed, and as a rea
sonable amount of outdoor -life and recreation is conducive to
the health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's
improvement in cases of constipation, biliousness, headaches,
etc. It ls all important, however, in selecting a laxative, to
choose one of known quality and excellence, like the ever
pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system
effeotually.when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant
after effects, a3 it acts naturally and gently on the internal
organs, simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance,
without griping, irritating or debilitating the internal organs in
any way, as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious
nature. As the plants which are combined with the figs in
the manufacturo of Syrup of Figs are known to physician's to
act most beneficially upon tho system, the remedy has met
with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well
worth considering in making purchases.
It is because of the fact that SYRUP OP FIGS
is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by
physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well
informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain
quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a
bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a
laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that tho
genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size
only, by all reputable druggists, and that full name of the
company California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on
the front of every package. Regular price, 50c per bottle.

aasenaers for Train.
Tho average number of passengers
in each railroad train In the United
States In 1004 was 5.23. This repre
sents a growth from about 39 a train la
1808, but Is still fur below the devel
opment attained abroad. In 1808 Ger
many carried an average of 71 persona
In each trnln, nnd India had the large
figure of 189. The development of ths
electric railway tn the United State
and the frequent train service help t
keep down the average. On each of the
212,000 miles of railway In 1004 there
were carried on an averago of 104,19
passengers. That Is to say, the aggre
gate passenger mileage of the country, '
according to the Railway World, dlvIeV
ed by the mileage of the track, gives
the figure named. In Germany, as fa
back as 1893, this figure was 842,001
persons; In France It was 283.000 L
1807; in India, 2S0.000, and in An
trla, 214,000. The figures for Great
Britain are not obtainable.
