Tlio orchestra In the grillroom wus
playing classical music during the

with what she probably regarded ns
the proper attitude to nssume when
good music Is played. After each num

her companion, "I do so ndore good

and asked him If the orchestra played
nny music by request. She was in
formed that It did.

the name of tho "Capipagna Itomana."
It hns been allowed to remnln Idle and

Now, however, the law which was
recently passed, decreeing that any
one who does not cultivate Ids land

ginning to huve Its effects. I'rinco
Aldobrandlnl lias engaged n company
to reclaim a huge estati' of several
thousands of acres, which ho owns In
the "campagna."
The work nlready hns heg'Jii and
nn experimental station has been set
up ut Ostia. The land was first of
all drained and then nrrungements
were mndo to obtain water from tho
Tiber for Irrigation. Electric tractors
to draw the plows were then bought
and vnrlous kinds of fruit, vegetables
and cereals wero cultivated In order
to And out how fertile the lnnd Is nnd
what kind of crop It Is mo6t adapted
for.

The results were beyond the wild
est hopes of any of (he promoters ol
the company. The land, after lying
Idle for centuries, seems to linvej
stored up Its fertility throughout nil!
that time nnd now yields crop upon
crop with unstinting hand.
An attempt has even been mndo to
grow cotton hero nnd Ihe experiment
hns been successful, but how success

mine, as Ihe cottonseed used was of
the worst (piallty obtainable. This
year, however, It Is proposed to plant'
American or Egyptian cotton. So hap

soon work may be begun for Ihe toial

HARD TO EXPLAIN POISONING
Scientists Unable to Tell Why Bites of
Some Animals Are Fatal and
Others Innocuous.
Scientists In Oreat Itrltnln have
been greatly Interested In the recent
rase of u monkey bite resulting In the
dentil of Ihe King of (.Jreece, says a
London dispatch. The result Is thnt
a study Is being made of the effects of
bites from various animals, inasmuch
as the monkey Is what Is known us a
"clean feeder," It seems extraordinary
that the bite of such uiuaulmal should
produce tho fatal poisoning of n hu
man being.
It does not, however, appear that
the umllgnaiicy of tin m'hIiiuiI'h bite
can he measured by what It feeds
upon. A dog is a carnivorous crea
ture, yet Its bite seldom produces seri
ous results, while on tho other nuud
the bite of a horse or n donkey fre
quently results in poisoning. Only n
few weeks ago n woman died from
being bitten by a donkey, while u mnn
lost 11 bund through being nipped on
the thumb by a horse.

FEAR EXTINCTION OF HOLLY
Dotanlsts Say That Within Another
Generation It May De as Rare as
the Mistletoe.
Christmas holly, that merriest and
most beloved of nil growing bushes, Is
threatened with extinction, according
to a warning sounded by lovers of a
red Christmas. Once growing pro
fusely In southern New Jersey nnd
Maryland, It lias been swept from
those states by the ruthless cutlers
for the city markets, and must now
bo sought In the swamps of Virginia
and North Carollnn, where already tho
supply Is gri Ing less bountiful ench
year. The liulf states have been sim
ilarly shorn to provide holly for Now
Orleans, St. Louis and Chicago.'
Within another generatlou, botan
ists say, holly will be ns rnro as mistle
toe, which used to grow In abundance
on the Atlantic seaboard as far north
us Rarltan bay, but has now practi
cally ceased to exist ns a Christian dec
oration. When will tho American peo
ple learn that tho bounty of their
