rcots under the surface. The exhibit
resembles a small potato, about the
size of an English walnut, and the
ground abore where it grows is loos
ened up something like ground worked
over by gophers.
A bag filled with samples of the
find has been sent the governor. The
vegetable, if it is vegetable, has a very
bitter taste and would resemble an
artichoke were it not for the bitter
taste. The samples and letter have
been referred to the state farm ex
perts, who will endeavor to discover
what the thing is like.

HUNDREDS LOST
IN FIGHT AT SEA
British Claim Nearly Thousand
Germans Lost In Naval Battle.
London, Aug. 31. An official state
ment says that of 1,200 men, compris
ing the crews of the five German war
ships sunk by the British fleet off
Heligoland, only 330 were saved.
Twenty-nine killed ana thirty-eight
wounded was the British loss in men.
The British losses are described as
follows:
"The light cruiser Arethusa lost
Lieutenant Eric Westcascott and nine
men killed, four men seriously wound
ed, and Lieutenant Robinson and elev
en men wounded, but not seriously.
"The torpedo boat destroyer Liberty
lost Lieutenant Commander Bartellot
and six men killed, one man has since
died from wounds, one dangerously
wounded and five slightly wounded.
"The destroyer laurel suffered ten
men killed, one has since died of his
wounds, two men dangerously wound
ed, seven seriously wounded and two
slightly wounded."
The Liberty, one of the British de
stroyers, was hit by a shell, which
shattered its mast and tore away part
of its bridge first of all and then
smashed its searchlights and killed
its commander, Lieutenant Command
er Eartellot, and William Butcher, his
signal man.
Accounts of the battle say it was
perfect in execution as well as in
plan. I?d at dawn by a small detach
ment, the destroyers crept within the
German lines between Heligoland and
the German coast.
"An aeroplane sighted them and
gave the news to the Germans, whose
destroyers then came out. The Brit
ish destroyers lured the Germans to
the open sea, where other destroyers
were waiting, spread out in fan shape.
"A small engagement followed, and
then German cruisers came out. The
British light cruiser Arethusa, after a
sighting shot, got its range splendidly
and hit the foremost gun of one of the
German cruisers, demolishing it. The
Arethusa then fired a few broadsides
at the enemy. Its practice was ex
cellent. It hit. a German cruiser.
which at once burst into smoke ana
flames, but soon afterward a German
shot did some damage to the engine
room of the Arethusa.
"The destroyers Liberty and Laertes
fought a grand fight. A shell brought
down the mast of the Liberty. The
Laertes was hit amidship, a hole was
shot through its funnel, its forward
guns were damaged and it received
also a shell into the dynamo room, and
a shot aft which wrecked its cabin.
'It was hot work, but at that mo
ment the British light cruisers and
battle cruisers appeared. It was the
moment for which they had been wait
ing and their execution was deadly.
The first shot from one of the British
battle cruisers sank a German cruise
which had been battering a destroyer.
The German fleet then turned and fled,
but was pursued by British destroyers.
which did terrible execution with their
four-inch guns."
