Beresford conducts It in ills convict garb.
He is also allowed some privilege in re

trousers, with a neat citizen’s coat and
vest. This is his school room attire. Poor
Harry Hill naturally takes his life hard.
He says favoritism keeps him down, while
Beresford is put In authority over him. He,
too, is after a pardon, but his health is all
right and it is not believed that he will get
out before his sentence expires. He marks
the lumber, and it keeps him almost con

Washington, May 17. Mr. J. 1..
Hand, President, Hand Trading Company,
Pelham, Ga.: Your communication of
May 10 and May 11 were duly received,
the latter this morning, and I have Just
wired you that It is impossible for me to
go to your place Immediately.
It Is evident that I did not make myself
entirely clear in my former letter as to
the present state of the watermelon dis
ease Investigation. I realize how neces
sary It seems to a man on the ground
who is growing melons that a specialist
should immediately visit his field and
make examinations, and if this were the
first time the attention of the specialist
had been called to this disease it would
certainly be the proper thing for him to
do. As the matter stands, however, 1
have already spent one summer In the
field studying carefully the field symptoms
of this disease, and in a region (South
Carolina) where the disease could not
not possibly be worse. For instance,
summer I spent six weeks on a farm
where there were seventy-five acres of
melons, the whole crop having been ruin
ed by this disease. The entire output
of this farm did not exceed ten car loads.
The previous year on the same farm the
disease was so bad that from thirty-five
acres the planter obtained only two car
loads, whereas Ids usual output had been
a car load to each two acres.
When I went to South Carolina I was
totally Ignorant of the nature of this dis
eflse. I had never seen it and did not
know what was Its cause. The symptoms
are such as you describe, but externally
there was no indication of any parasite'.
At the close of my studies in South Caro
lina 1 had found out the cause of the dis
ease as nearly as one could from field
studies, and brought back with me to
Washington what 1 supposed to be its
cause. X could not do more In the field,
and If X should go to your section of
Georgia at this time it is not likely that I
could go further with the work than I
went with it in South Carolina, inasmuch
as careful microscopical, laboratory and
green house experiments were necessary
to complete the proof as to the cause of
the disease, and put us into a condition
to know how to experiment for prevent
ives.
While I was in South Carolina I tried
spraying for the disease and found it to
be an utter failure, and this led me to
discover that the disease enters the plant
tinder ground. Since my return last year
from the South I have been very carefully
studying the disease In the green house
and laboratory, have made a great number
of microscopical examinations and arti
ficial cultures of the fungus and have
succeeded in doing here what it was.im
possibie to do in South Carolina, and
would be impossible to do in Georgia,
namely, to carry on under glass with
strict controls artificial infections to de
termine whether the fungus which Is
found in the interior of the diseased vines
Is really the cause of the disease. This 1
have succeeded in proving beyond ques
tion by growing watermelons under glass
and Inoculating the soil with pure cul
tures of this fungus. In about four weeks
from the time I put the fungus in the
soil I began to get fine cases of the dis
ease in large? numbers.
From w hat I have said I think you will
understand that I am in earnest in this
matter and know what 1 am about. While
it would give me the greatest pleasure to
go at once to Georgia to see the diseased
melons in the field, yet, owing to the
number of green house and laboratory
experiments which 1 have on hand, an'l
which would have to be abandoned to the
great detriment of the investigation if 1
should leave now, and which would have
to be done over again next year, with
great loss of time, 1 must beg you to
be patient and let me work at this end
of the line until 1 get the green house and
laboratory experiments in such shape that
I can leave them. I hope to be able to
do this In the course of four or five weeks,
or just as soon as I can close out the
experiments, which are so important to
a full understanding of the disease, when
X shall immediately leave for Georgia,
When In South Carolina I tried various
inoculation experiments on the field, Just
as I could do in Georgia, but they entirely
failed, as they would in Georgia,
for the reason that owing to the wide
prevalence of the disease I never could tell
whether my inoculated vines came down
with the disease as the result of the inoc
ulation or from natural causes inherent
in the locality.
I send you by this mail a box and in
close herewith some franks, and would be
very glad if you would send me roots
and a foot or two of some of the freshly
wilted melon vines. On receipt I fan
at once tell whether the disease is iden
tical with that of South Carolina, of
which I have no doubt.
The difficulty in lighting the disease is
increase*! a hundred fold by the fact that
it lives in tlie soil over winter, as I
■have just succeeded in proving, and en
ters the plant through the root system.
If it entered the plant above ground the
methods of fighting it would be greatly
simplified. I am now trying various sub
stances to see whether when added to
tflo soil they will have any-retarding in
fluence on the spread and development
of the fungus. This organism is a little
white mass of threads, which till the ducts
of the stem of the vine, so that it is im
possible for the vines to get water from
the soil for its use, and consequently in
some cases the vine would undoubtedly
wilt, even if its roots were in a tub of
water. 1 ought, perhaps, to say that
the water ducts of tlie vine are a large
number of minute hollow, tube-like bod
ies, which extend through the whole
length of the vine, front the roots to the
leaves. In bad cases it is possible to
see these little white plugs with the naked
eye on cutting across the lower part of
u badly wilted vine with a share knife.
and often they- may be seen with the aid
of a hand lettat.
Hx>w long ttv's fungus will live In the
so*: I have not vet been able to prove,
the time haytnc be. n too short, but It
will . . plainly U e ov-r winter, and in my
culture tube* hi s lived for -!ght months
in gcgsl < .ndtt ci , so that It Is evident we
have to fight a .’cry -tubborn foe.

Lyman .1. Gage Tell* a Story That
lllnstrat<V< the Point,
From the Chit * tro Times-Herald.
Lyman J. Gage tells a good story and
one which explains itie secret of the popu
larity of "Coin’s Fin tnclal School" among
the ma.sees, who, up to the present ttme.
hail given little thought to the abstruse
monetary problem
"A few dairs a*,, while riding In a New
York railway-oar, up ji the Interior of the
statei” said Mr. Gage,. "1 heard tny name
pronounced by some <t to back of me. I
turned around to set w'. xo was the s|>eek
er. One man was lean! ig over the back
of hl.s seat reading alota 1 from ’Coin' for
the entertainment of ai other man. He
was Just concluding portion of the
book in which I ant made-, to appear.
"'There,' cried the man. In a tone of
conviction, ’Lyman J. Gage gives It up.
That settles it with me. GTke and Walsh
and Medlll ought to know ali there is aboat
the money question. If they"can’t answer
‘Coin,’ why then ‘Coin’ midst bo right I
am a silver man from this on.’
"I could not catch the rejyly of his com
panion, but I assume that Ite made no ef
fort to controvert the arguments. of the
other. Pretty soon after .‘die man who
had been reading passed my way. He was
a respectable and fairly intelligent looking
man—a well-to-do farmer, I should Judge.
" 'My friend,’ said I, “I overheard you
reading from ’Coin’ Just nowv’
” ’Yes,’ he replied. 'The book has con
verted me. I am for free sllvtfr.’
” ‘Why? Have you studied Jhe subject
carefully?’
“ ’No. I am fr'-e to say tllat I don’t
know anything about the question. But at
‘Coin’s' school In Chicago ail tlie big bank
ers and editors failed to answer ’Coin,’
w hich was a virtual admission that he was
correct. If Lyman J. Gage, Jo'in R. Walsh
and Joseph Medlll admit that (Coin’ ffc cor
rect, why I am forced to do the same.’
“ ’Do you belles • that such a school as
“Coin” describes wue really held In Chi
cago and that the men alleged to be In
attendance were really theire?’
"You may Judge of my surprise,” con
tinued Mr. Gage, "when my new friend
replied: 'Yes, I know it was held, and that
the men named took part. I wan ted to be
sure the book wasn't a lie, and* so I wrote
to a friend in Chicago for Information, and
ho assured mo that every word In “Coin”
was true.’
“ ’Well, my friend,’ I replied, ’ I live in
Chicago, and give you my word that no
such school was held. It is simply a false
hood. i should know, inasmuch as the
hook describes scenes in which I am made
to appear.’
” 'What Is your name?’ demanded the
New York man.
“ 'Lyman J. Gage,' I replied.
” 'Lyman J—the devil.’
" ’No—Gage.’
“ 'And you assure me on your word of
honor that no such school as “Coin” pic
tures was held,’ he demanded.
” ‘I most certainly do.’
"The train stopi*-d at Waterloo, where
tho man was to get off. He stood gazing at
me In astonishment until ithe train started
and then solemnly and slowly said, ’Well,
i ll be blowed.’ Then -lie rushed from the
train.
Ihe money question 1s an abstruse
one," concluded Mr. Gage, "ahd few people
have studied into it sufficiently to form an
independent opinion. It is Just this situa
tion that ‘Coin’ takes advantage of, and
therein lies tho danger of 'the book."
—Tho idea that children should have
some diseases when young Is an error, ac
cording to the Reflector. "There is not one
ot the so called children's diseases, except
perhaps chicken pox, but is liable to be fol
lowed by serious consequences, besides be
ing sometimes fatal, in every way it is
better to avoid all contagious maladies
and It Is qnito possible that in adult life
persons may escape these diseases alto
gether, or, If they have them, it may be In
a lighter form. The popular idea that
grown persons have these diseases harder
than children is fallacious. Adults are
better developed and have the Judgment
necessary to co-operate In tho treatment,
w hich Is lacking In children."
