Sergeant Charles Farrington GARDENS Planned by People of Pittsburg and Surrounding Towns. Peach Trees and Vegetable Seeds WtH Be Set Out by Youthful Farm er*—Fertilizer and Implements Be Looked After. Pittsburg. Pa—Pittsburg promises to become one large peach orchard and vegetable garden if the plans of several organizations meet their just reward, and only the introduction of poultry and dairy farming will be E- ded to make it seem just like the old days on the farm. t'nder the direction of Mrs. S. L. McCuil ugh about four hundred peach treer raised from seeds planted by tildren of the city last year, will be set out in the yards of their homes. Vegetable gardens for grownups of ! Oakland is a prospect of the Oakland *rd of Trade, which expects to se * ure the use of a large tract of vacant ar.d to be divided into gardens. These *:li be planted and tended by citizens of Oakland, whose names will be fur nished the Board of Trade by the As . sociated Charities and other civic workers Harvey H. Smith is chair man of the committee in charge of these gardens and the furnishing of seeds, fertilizer and implements will be looked after by the committee.

Each garden plot will be sur rounded by flowers planted by the | little gardeners. The Playground and Vacation School Association of Allegheny will also have garden plots In the parks. SCIENCE IS LACKING English People Make Exceptional Man Shift for Himself. Germans Outstripping Britons Be cause Are Willing to Back Their Faith With Money—Employ Best Brains for Tests. London, England.—Sir James De war, Britain's greatest chemist, is celebrating today the thirty-fourth an niversary of his professorship in the Royal institution. "We are not a scientific nation,” he said, "as the people make the excep tional man shift for himself, and it is only faith and work almost super human that can enable him to follow to the end the true lines of his genius. Look at this institution and consider the names of the men who held my honored chair before me—Young, Davy, Faraday and Tiudall. To them belongs the credit for discoveries of immeasurable benefit to mankind. "Here Davy first showed the arc lamp. Tyndall conducted his investi gations of radiant heat and magnetism and Faraday made discoveries in magno-electric currents which form the basis of electric lighting and the transmission of power. Yet we have an endowment of only £60,000 (J300, 000) after 112 years How do we go on? Well, that question is a puzzle to every savant that comes our way. A foreigner seeing what we have and knowing what we have done remarks: 'Your endowment must be enormous. When we say we have no endowment to speak of he shrugs his shoulders and exclaims: ‘England is a national enigma.' "Why is Germany outstripping us lr science and its practical applications? Because the Germans believe in sci ence and are willing to back thelt faith with their money. Without any trouble at all the kaiser raises £500. 0f>0 i $2,500,000) tor research alone The German firm of Bayer has estab i lished a gigantic business on the tun damental discoveries of British chem ists. In 1875 Bayer employed 119 peo pie. Now he employs 5.000 workmen 680 clerks. 260 engineers and 16( chemists—mark, chemists! For ali this British research into coal tai opened the path. "Germans employ the best brains it the universities for specialized ex I periments in the commercial iabora tories. the results are financia! profits exceeding the wildest dreams of avarice. Do you know that the i Germans spent in a quarter of a oen tury £1,000,000 ($5,000,000) on syn , thetic indigo? They subdivide the ex periment and drive the inquiry to the ! limits of conceivability. “Our national tailing is that we dc 1 not provide chemists and other scien tific students to carry on the lines of work developed by our outstanding geniuses in discovery. In this country the exceptional man is the cheapest of natural products.” FOR BOYS and the children of Woods Run are looking forward to again growing vegetables and flowers beside the pen | itentiary. In addition to its peach culture the civic committee of the Congress Wom en s Clubs of Western Pennsylvania will plant several flower beds in the city. The New Era club has two beds in the grounds of the Hancock school; the Council of Jewish wom en has a bed at the Hospital for Chil dren; the Saturday Afternoon club has one at the Curtis Home; the Women's Club of Pittsburg will have one at the Pittsburg Home for Babies in Center avenue, and the Travelers’ club will plant flowers in front of the Workshop for the Blind Several flower gardens have also been plant ed by the committee in Crafton and Sheriden. ELECTRIC CHICKS IS LATEST Brood Is Hatched by Placing Bulbs in Ordinary Incubator—As Lively as Any Others. Towanda, Pa,—Not satisfied with being first in butter production in the north tier, Towanda has the first brood of chickens ever hatched by electricity in the state, and perhaps in the country. It all came about through the ingenuity of Clarence Braund. a poultry expert, who is em ployed by a local, illuminating com pany. He conceived the idea of substitut ing the electric bulb for the uncertain kerosene lamp, which causes so many disasters because of the risk of its starting a fire, overheating or going out. Taking a common incubator, be sim ply wired it and used electric bulbs instead for heating, and the result was very satisfactory. All of the eggs but one hatched out. The temperature was kept even night and day without any attention on his pkrt, and the chicks are as lively as any ever hatched. So pleased is the illuminating com pany with the experiment that it has the chicks in the display window of its office. It is likely that the old method of using lamps for heat will be relegated and that chickens of the future will be hatched by the steadv current from the main plant. attempted to hold conversation with him. but could not make him hear. Then they conversed with pad and pencil, and the man told the sergeant he came from Albany and had been left deaf and dumb by illness ten years ago. No Boy Scouts for Finland. Helsingfors. Finland.—The ■ Boy Scout movement, which had been mak ing rapid headway in Finland, has met with a check, the Russian author ities not considering it a fitting recrea tion for Finnish boys. ^INTmltpjfltlT NEW LEADER OF THE MINERS John P. White of Oskaloosa. Iowa, has become president of the United MiDe Workers of America. The at tainment of this high position is a tribute to perseverance and integrity, for John White, at the age of twc was an orphan and at the age of thirteen was a mule boy in the mines of Lucas county, helping support a mother and brothers and sisters. White was born a stone's throw from the mouth of a coal mine in Coal Valley, Rock Island county. 111-. February '28. 1870. He was the young est son of Joseph and Catherine White. After his father died the family, in 1SS3. moved to Luca; county, where John entered the mines He has been actively identified with the United Mine Workers since 1SS9 when the movement was fragmentary. He was chosen secretary-treasurer of District No. 13, a position he held until April 1, 1904, when he was chosen president of the district. He served as such until 19CS, when he was unanimously elected vice-president of the international union. Ke returned to Iowa. and. at the earnest re quest of the miners, be again accepted the district presidency, which he -has just relinquished to assume the duties of the higher office. In 1S90 White was married to Miss Ida Bethold of Burlington, and they are the parents of four children. The coal mines of Iowa made John White, and it may be said with equal veracity that John White has made the coal mines of Iowa, so far as the miners are concerned, Until White took charge. District No. 13 organization was little better than nothing. Under his leadership it has prospered and thrived until the miners of this district now have more than $1,000,000 for the rainy day. White will remove with his family to Indianapolis, where his new du'ies make it necessary for him to reside. NOW AMBASSADOR TO RUSSIA The pest of ambassador to Russia is one of the most important in our diplomatic service, owing to the in terplay of Russian ar.d American in terests in the far East and to the grave questions affecting trade and politics which are constantly arising in that far-off region of the Orient. Our new ambassador to Russia, former Governor Curtis Guild of Massachusetts, was setected for this difficult pest because of his recognized ability and his broad comprehension of American interests. Mr Guild is a native of Boston, a graduate of Harvard and of Geneva university and is the wearer of sev eral university degrees. As a young man he entered the office of the Bos ton Commercial Bulletin, founded by his father, worked himself upward into the editorial chair and in 1902 became sole owner of the paper. Through his newspaper experiences G he became interested in politics and m several campaigns toured the country in the interests of the Republican party in 1900 he was the companion of Roosevelt in a stumping tour of the west. Two years later he was elected lieutenant governor of Massa chusetts and served three years, which were followed by bis election as governor, in which post he served three terms. Since 1909 h:s time has largely been taken up with business. During the bpanish-American war he served as lieutenant colonel and as inspector general on the staff of the Seventh corps, under General Fitzhugh Lee, until the break-up of the corps in Cuba. His work was praised in the re^ port of the inspector general of the army. WOMAN WHO OWNS BALL CLUB While cot slighting the men fans, "ladies first" is practically to be the motto and slogan of baseball's newest and most novel figure, the "lady own er,” who is personified by Mrs. Helen Hathaway Britton of Cleveland, own er of the St. Louis National league. Mrs. Britton has taken charge of the affairs of the club. She is not entirely a novice in baseball, as she comes of a remarkable baseball fam ily. Her father was the late Frank DeHaas Robison, owner of the Cleveland Spiders and later the St. Louis club, and now she succeeds her uncle, the late M. Stanley Robison, owner of the club, in assuming con trol of its destinies. “The women, girls and children are to be catered to in League park." says Mrs. Britton, "and for that rea son the elimination of the liquor bar from the park remains perpetual. My uncle established that rule for this reason, and it is my wish as strong!^ as it was his to do away with this feature of baseball, which has nothing at all to do with the game itself. In the absence of the bar we expect to have the presence of more women and children, a result. we earnestly desire, and which we will do our utmost to maintain to the pleasure of all our patrons “Dispose of the club?“ exclaimed Mrs. Britton. Tve never entertained such an idea. My uncle willed it to me or at least 997 of the 1.000 shares of stock, and it will remain in the family. I do love baseball. My heart is in it. I was born and brought up on It." SENATOR TILLMAN NEAR END Senator Ben Tillman, his pitchfork at rest, is back on his asparagus farm near Trenton, S. C. “I look in the glass and see the old Ben." he said the other day to one who had in quired about his health: "then I find I am not wcrtli a d—n." The senator is not far astray. The rugged form and face are apparently the same as ever. There is still a flickering of the old fire in his single eye. But his physique is a hollow shell. None of his family refers to his failing health, nor do visitors men tion it. Senator Tillman hates the idea of death. “Just when I'm getting ready to live I’ve got to die," he complained to a friend recently. And yet while apparently the hand of death is close to him he is planning for the future. The other day he directed the setting out of a new vineyard. It adjoins the Kucnen garden. n wntcn Mrs. Tillman, in sonbonnet and apron, was at work with a weeding hoe. She is a fine, motherly woman, and the plain truth is that she d a good deal rather work among her flowers and vegetables than be holding up her social end in Washington. The big house sets back behind a perfect Jungle of japonlicas. palmettos, purple and yellow aisles of Iris and daffodils, all of her setting out. “What a blanked fool I am. Just ready to die and planting a vineyard * said the senator. ' Considerable Counting. A report recently issued by the treasury department shows that there are 150.09r.028 SI bills In circulation.
