Recruiting Officer Dewoy spent the

tho eight North Platto men who had
enlisted In that branch of tho service
and sent to Ft. Logan had passed tho
examination and within a short time
will bo sent to Russia for employment
on tho railroads of that country prob
ably upon tho Trans-Slborlan road,
which Is said to bo of a primitive type,
although over five thousand miles In
length. Great stretches of this road
is through a barren and desolato coun
try, but it Is understood that the United
States government has made amplo
provisions for providing comfortable
quarters for tho mon it sends to Rus
sia. Tho North Platto men who have been
assigned to this' service will certainly
have experiences that will bo worth

Falling Up Out of a Balloon.
If' a man falls out of a rising aero,
piano or balloon ho will not go toward
tlio earth, but will continue rising Into
tho air for nn appreciable time. If
tho air machlno were stopped In Its
ascent nt tho tlmo It could catch the
man as ho came down. If tho airship
were ascending nt tho rate of thirty
two feet a second tho man would rlso
sixteen feet before beginning to fall
toward tho earth. Tims, by reducing
tlio speed of its ascent, tho vessel
might keep by tho side of the mnn and
rescue him. Tho reason why tho man
rises is tho same as tho reason for a
bullet's rising when shot from a gun
into tho nlr both the man nnd the
bullet aro given n velocity upward, and
it takes somo tlmo for gravity to nega
tlvo that velocity.
Growing Grapes.
Grapes will grow almost anywhere
and aro sure to bear. Grapes can bo
trained on trellises close to fences or
to outbuildings. Spring Is tho best
time to plant, using either ono or two
year old vines. Frequently cultivation
during summer will improve the fruit.
Wood ashes mnko a good fertilizer
for grapes, and half a bushel to tho
vino will not bo too much.
No pruning will bo required tho first
season, but tho Hccond season cut back
the strongest canes to three or four
buds nnd remove all others.
