The Soy Bean Declured to Be Equal to the Real Thing. The agricultlral experiment station of the Purdue university of Indiana has issued a circular s:tting forth the qualities of the soy, or soja, bean an\ advocating iis use as a substitute for coffee. The soy bean (soja hispida) is a Japanese plant which can be grown in this country. Thus far, says the New York Sun, its cultivation has been con- fined to the west, and it is, apperently, not known in the cast. It is described as a stiff, bushy plant, which under favorable circumstances attains a height of three feet. There are three large leaves on a leaf stem. From the axils of the leaves flower shoots grow, which with maturity produce pods in clusters of two amd three. Bach pod con- tains from two to four seeds, about three- quarters of a inch in breadth and a little longer than broad. One plant often produces a large number of pods. A farmer in Tippe- canoe county, Indiana, has raised 782 beans on one stalk from a single planted bean, and had sixteen bushels of beans from one acre. He has used the soy bzan for coffee for seven or eight years and considers it the best pos- sible substitute. The seed is planted in rows ulmnl thirty inches apart with a bean every eight or nine inches in the row. Whiie May Is the time for planting, a good crop has been gathered at the Purdue station from seed planted in the middle of June. Wien the beans are ripe enough the plants are pulled up and dri:d in stacks, after which they are threshed, gen- erally with a flail. Ana es of samples of the soy bean grown at the Purdue station and of the true coffze bean are compared in Ihe lol]uwlug table: 1( Soy Bean HI g\E’ 696 78| 1 19| mayl 1el 3 Albuminold nitrog Real albuminoids Caffeine .. The cost of the soy bean Is said to be very much less than the low-grade coffees and thoss of which chicory and other adulterauts form a part. Inquiry among New York coffee merchants discovered that the soy bean as a substitute for coffee was not commercially or otherwise known there. According to an expert who has ben a coffee taster for nearly a quarter of a century chicory is the only thing which can be considered a substitute for coffee. By substitute he means adulterant, using the word in a guod sense. Chicory alone, as pre- pared by ths improved process now in use, i not half a bad drink, but no one would dream of considering it coffee who had ever tasted the real article. Chicory, however, mixed with a good grade of coffee is a.better and more wholesome drink than some of the low grade coffees. The expert said that while he and his partners sold pure coffee to their customers unless ordered otherwise, they us:d coffee mixed with chicory themselves. Chicory, although conside~ed the best adul- terant, is not the only one. Several of the cereals play a part in the preparation of cheap coffee, {f they do not pretend to be substitutes. It s sald that the entire Canu- dian pes crop and a large part of the Michi- gan crop are devoted to the adulteration of coffee, Rye and barley are also used as adul- terants. The Massachusetts adulterant known as P. P. {s said to contain as an ingredient Boston brown bread. There is a general impression that chicory and the other coffee adulter- ants are detrimental to health. The author- ity already cited says that, on the contrary, pure coffce is more harmful than the adul- terants, They, indeed, are harmless, while the evil effects of coffee taken in large quan- tities are well known. He spoke particularly of the chicory as mow prepared. The im- provement in its preparation, he said, was due to the McKinley bill, which, by cutting off the poorly prepared German chicory with its high duty, had set American ingenuity at work to bettering chicory as a Cvoffee adulterant. The cereals used as adulterants of coffee, he lought, were also harmless, but he was apparently doubtful as to the healthfulness of Boston brown bread used as a potation prevalent ——— A Sacred Mountuin, Adam's Peak, or Mount Samanala, a rugged mountain in the island of Ceylon, is known throughout the Orlent as the ‘“Moun- tain of the Sacred Footprint.

CRESTON, Ta., Aug. 23.—(Special Telegram to The Bee)—The September term of the district court will prove to be one of unusual interest (0 the taxpayers, mayor and city council, and to the soelal worid comprising Creston. The mayor and city council have n served with notice of a suit, istituted y John Hall, W. S.

The Creston V Works company will also sue the ecity Creston for the full amount of the water rental contract, $7,800, made by a former council. At the last meeting of the city council & resolution was passed fixing the amount for the water rental within the 5 mill tax allowed by - the state, and it is to recover the full amount on the old contract that the water company institues its suit. Eminent attorneys have been retained by the Water Works company to look after their interests. Attorney D. W.

Electrie Cars and Lighting Stations Do Not Seem Dangerous. 1t is a curious fact that, while man’s first efforts {n the way of gaining control of elec- trical force were directed toward bringing the lightning harmlessly to earth, less pro- gress has been made here than in any other direction. Seclence accepted Franklin's theory and the public accepted his lightning rod as the true theory and adequate solution of the problem. Half a century ago lightning rods adorned nearly all houses and barns, and within a much more recent time the lightning-rod man was reapine a golden har- vest. Now, very few new houses have rods put om them, and the farmer avolds the lightning-rod man not only from financial but other reasons. The popular judgment seems to be, after long experinenting, that the lightning rod js “no good. But meantime, the havoe by lightning con- tinues each summer, eaye the Springfield (Mass) Republican. A publication recently issued from the government weather bureau places the deaths by lightning in 1893 in the United States at 209, in 1892 at 251, and the average for four years back to 1§90 at 196. In the eight years to 1§93, some 8,516 fires were caused by lightnipg, involving an ag- gregate loss of $12,663,800. We have look:d up the records for'/Massachusetls in this respect with the following results: By light- Bing- 1893 1891 1890 1889 1888 1887 1886 1185 154 cili! It eannot be sald, thérefore, that dang:r and damage from fthis/source arve on the wane. Last year will beiremembered as one singularly free hertabouts . from severe thunder storms, and i the records were at hand would show, probably, a comparatively small number of fdtalitfes and fires. But 1892 has the distinction of a larger number of fires caused by lightning than any other year sinc: the insurance department began to keep such statistics, while the loss of lite was also unusually large. This is of particular interest in view of the claim made that the stringing of electric wires tends to dissipate and render harm- less the electrical energy around during a storm. And yet this is probably the case, We do not recall an instance, for example, of an el:ctric car being damaged by light- ning, while, as a matter of fact, one seemed to have been fairly struck by lightning on Main street, in this city, one day last sum- mer, The car was loaded with people, but the lightning pass:d off harmlessly tc the ground by way of the trolley, apparenily, doing no ‘more damage than 1o burn out a fuse and suddenly stop the car. Supposedly an electric car, then, would be about as safe a place for one to be in duriug a storm s could be found.

Taglor, Fourth artillery, seeing his playmate's danger, swam to the rescue. The drowning lad grabbed him and they both sank together. Young Taylor shook himself free when they came up and tried to take his little friend by the back of the neck as young Hoyle was going down for the last thne. Failing in that the brave boy dived under the water and caught his playmate by the hafr and pulled him to the river bank, where he stood him on his head o free his lungs, unassisted by the other lads, who were paralyzed by fright. Master Edward Taylor, when 4 years old, was saved from drowning at Fort Adams by his brother, Sidney W. Taylor, aged 10 years.
