TIIE SCKANTON TIU35TJNE -WEDNESDAY MORNING, APJtIL 28, 1897. 11 the Rome Reading Orck Copyright, 1S97, by JJ. T. Mcndc and rtobert Eustnco. SYNOPSIS. This Btory Is told 1y Mntiellno ltennlrk. nn English Rovorness In the family of Dr. Chanco ut St. Petersburg; Uuaslu. Clmnce Is nit KiiKllnhtnati by lilrlli, but for many years a naturalized Husslan. Ho has a wife and two diiURhters, OIkh unci Mn rousHa, tilxtrcii und llftcen yearn of hko. Tho doctor Iiuh long since given up tho practice of medicine to bury himself In his two splendidly uqulpppil laboratories In Hclentllice nsenrch. Tho lnrwest and finest of these workshops Is known as the Blue Laboratory. A peculiarity of tho room Is u low glass ilomo rising from a corner of tho floor. The girls tell the governess that ono day they sneaked Into the room and heard cries for help coming from beneath tho dome. Jllss ltennlrk Is a Glrton Kraduate. and much Interested In science. Kor thin reason shn becomes of Breat assistance to Dr. Chance In his ex periments. The llrst time he takes her Into the Htuu Laboratory lie Is called from tho room. The Boverness rushes to tho dome and pulls the cover off. llo neath several thicknesses of class ap pears tho horrlblo vision of a nhastly. lean and hagguid faee. Just then the doctor Is heard returning. The startled Boverness pulls the cover back and re sumes her work. She Is much frightened but retains her composure. TAUT 111. "Dr. Chance." I said, when my most important work wok over, "why have jou that peculiar dome In the corner of the lloor?" "I warned you to nsk no questions," lie said, his back was slightly to me as lie spoke. "There is nothing in this r torn," he continued, "which Is out of uso. If you become curious nnd spy ing I shall need your services no long er. ' "You must please yourself about that," I replied, with spirit, "but it is not an Kngllsh girl's habit to spy." "I believe you are right," said Dr. Chance, coming close and staring nt me. "Well, on this occasion I small have pleasure in gratifying your cur iosity. That dome Is a part of an ap paratus, by which I make a vncum. Now you are doubtless as wise as you were before." 'I am no wiser," I answered. The doctor smiled in u sardonic manner. "I have finished my experiment," ho said, "let us come uway." 1 ran straight up to my room nnd shut and locked myself In. I could not face the girls. I must not see them again until 1 had so completely con trolled my features that they would not guesss their suspicions were con firmed. I sat down and thought hard. No danger should now deter me on tho course which I had marked out for my self. The miserable victim of Dr. Chance's cruelty should be rescued, even If my life" were the purchase. Hut I knew well that my only chanc-. of success was by putting the doctor off his guard and showing the wari ness and wisdom of the serpent. A3 subsequent events proved, however. I little knew the man with whom 1 had to deal. Having planned matters carefully In my own mind, I proceeded to act upon them. That evening 1 dressed for dinner In my best. I had observed that Dr. Chance, cold-bloodedi auto maton as he was in most things, had nn eye for a pretty woman. His wife was plain, his daughter. had not yet attained to the charms of woman hood, but I knew I wan handsome, well-mude nnd stately. I took care of my own dignity and at the same time could afford to let men see how good looklnlg I could be on certain occa sions. I possessed an old black velvet dress which had belonged to my grand mother. The velvet waa superb, but the make was old-fiu'hloned. ThU very old-fashloncdness would doubt less udd to Its charm In the eyes of the doctor; he might, wh n he saw It, re member some of the beauties In had met when he was young. Accordingly I put on the black velvet diess, pinned a lace kerchief In artistic folds round my throat, piled my hair high on my forehead, and then darllngly powdered It. I had black hair, black as Ink, a clear complexion, a good deal of color In my cheeks, and very dark eyes and eye-brows. The effect of the powdered ment, followed Immediately by a stare of npproval. "You remind mo of some one," he said after n pause. "My doar,"urn ing to his wife, "whom does Miss Hen nick remind you of?" Mrs. Chance favored mo with hor round, curious, unsympathetic stare. "Miss Hennlck is somewhat like the picture of Marie Antoinette just be fore she was guillotined," she said, after a pause. "True, there Is certainly a resom- begnn, "If you really know whnt you nsk, 1 could tell you that secret, Clod knows 1 would tell It to you, If I thought you could stand It," "1 can stand anything," I said, steadying myself. "At the present mo ment I nm all curiosity. I have no fear. Is your secret such a fearful one? Is It n terrible thing to photograph Thought?" "The ways and means by wWcli those secrets have been wrung from nature are fraught with terror," was the slaiv reply, "but you have asked me, and you shall know on a condition." "What Is that?" "That you wait until tomorrow even ing." 1 was about to reply when a servant camo softly up the room, bearing a card on a slaver. He presented lt to the doctor. Dr. Chance looked at me. "Dr. Schopenhauer has called," hi) said abruptly, "he wants to see me on something Important. I shall be back with ou In a few momentB." He left me alone. I oould naarcfly believe my senses I was by myself In the lllue Laboratory such an un looked for opportunity was Indeed provldentlnl. 1 went straight, like an ntrow shot from a bow, to the dome Fhnped roof. 1 withdrew the covering and bent over It, peering Into the utter datkness below. Of course 1 could see nothing, I rapped with my knuckles on the glass; there was no sound, no reply of any sort. Had the vlotlm been removed Into a still further dun geon? 1 did not despair. I knocked again. This time my efforts, were re warded by a faint, far-away, terrible HOW TO GET RID OF WILD GARLIC Something of Interest to Every Dairy man and Farmer.

When I went Into tho salon, Olga and Maroussa rushed to meet mo with cries of rapture. "How lienutlful you look, Madeline," l tney exciaunecr, "nut wny navo you pressed so much?' , "I took h fancy to wear tills," I said, "It belonged to my grandmother." "Hut why have you powdered your hair?" "Hecauso It suits the dress." "W)l, you certainly do look lovely. I wonder What mamma will say!" When Mrs. Chance appeared she stared at mo In some astonishment, but vouchsafed no remark. We all went to dinner and saw Pr. Chance raise his eyes and observe my pictur esque dress with a glanc of puzle- blance,"sald tho doctor, nodding Ills head. I drew my chair a little closer to him and began to talk. I talked more brilliantly than I had ever dor.es be forehe listened to mo in surprise. Soon I saw that I was pleasing him I legan to draw lilm out. Ho told me stones of his early youth, of a tlmo when his fat, fJerman wife had not ap peared on the horizon of his existence. He even described his conquests In those early days anil laughed merrily over his own exploits. Our conversa tion was In English and Mrs. Chance evidently could not follow th.3 doc tor's brilliant repartee and my some what smart replies. She stared at me In some astonishment, then, gently sighing, she lay back In her dhalr and began to dose. Tho girls talked to one another; they evidently suspected nothing. "Shall wo go up to the salon?" said Mrs. Chance, at last. "You may, my dear, of course," was the doctor's quick reply, "and the :act Is the sooner you and the girls do so the better, for Miss Hennlck has to get through some work this evening for me. Did I not tell you so, Miss Hen nlck? AVI11 you have the goodness to fi.liow me now to the cabinet. you get through your work quickly, I shall do something for you. I see by your inannel' that you are devoured by cur iosity. Yes, don't attempt to deny It. I will gratify you. You shall nsk me to tell you one of my secrets this even ing. Whatever you ask I shall do my bPl to comply with. The fact Is, I am In the humo;- to be gracious." "Miss Hennlck looks tired." raid Mrs. Chance; "don't keep her downstairs too long, Alexnnder. Come, girls." The girls smiled and nodded to mo; they followed their mother upstairs and I went with the doctor to his cab inet. The moment we were alone ho turned nnd faced me. "I repeat what 1 have just said," he began, "you are full of curiosity. That which ruined our mother Eve Is also your bane. I see dellanco nnd a seiiso of strong desire to wring my secrets from mo In your eye this evening. Now let mo ask you a question. What has a young unformed creature llko you to do with science?" "I love science," I said, "I respect her, her secrets iro precious. Hut what can I do for you, Dr. Chance?" "You speak In tho right spirit, Miss Hennlck, Yes, I require your sevlces, follow me at once to the Hluo Labora tory." Ho tripped on In front, genlnl and pleased. He opened the door In the wall, turned on the electric light, nnd we found ourselves In the ghastly place with Its ghastly human secret. I went and stood cloco to the dome shaped root on the lloor. Dr. Chancj crossed the room and began to examine some microbes which he was carefully studying. ? "After all," ho said, "this experi ment Is not In a suillclently advanced stage to do anything further tonight. I shall not require your help until tc morrow. Now, then, what can I do for you?" "You can tell mo a secret," I an swered suddonly. "I p.romlsed to do so. What do you want to know"'" "Do you remember the lira: day I helped yon 7" "Well?" "I wrote a papor for you on that day, the subject was the 'Photography of Thought.' You promised your Rug. lhh public that In a month or six weeks at furthest you wnull be nblvj to pvsNo your words. The tluu Is past; prove yvnr woids to mo now. Sow mo how yon ihrt?ruh Thought." Dr. '"Miauo scared at nn for . mo ment, then he grinned from ear to ear. Ills glittering teeth showed, then van ishedhis cyee looked like sparks of living fire. "I wonder If you ore prepared," he groan. 1 was desperate now, and In spite of the risk I ran of being heard by Dr. Chance, began to shout down through the glass. "If there Is anything within, speak," I cried. A voice, faint and hollow, a long way off, dim ns If these were its last and dying utterances, answered me. "I am an Englishman unjustly Im prisoned," there was a long pause; the next words came fainter, "put to tor ture," another silence, then the voice again, "In the shadow of death, help! save!" "You shall be released within twenty-four hours," I answered back. My next act was Indeed daring, and the Inspiration of a moment. 1 ran to the door, took out the key, nnd hurrying to the bench where Dr. Chance's large microscope stood, took ono of the pieces of hard paraflln which he used for regulating the temperature of his stage, and taking a careful impression of the key, returned It to Its place, slipping the wax Impression in my pocket. Having done this 1 wandered about for a moment or two, trembling violently and trying to resume my self control. The doctor did not return; I resolved to stay In ihe Hlue Labora tory no longer. I turned off the elec tric light, took the key out of the lock, went up the long passage, and knocked at the door of the other laboratory It was quickly opened by the doctor. 1 gave him the key without glancing at him, and hurried to my room. How I spent thn.t dreadful night I can never now recall. I had no per sonal fear, but every nerve In my body, each thought In my brain, waa centered upon one passionate, feverish goal I would rescue that tortured English man even at the risk of my life. At this time 1 could not determine clear ly how to act, but before the morning two steps became clear to me one was to have a, duplicate key of the labora tory made Immediately, the second, to go and see the English consul. T did not even know the name of the consul, but I knew that he was bound to protect English subjects. Dr. Chanco was himself a naturalized rtus slan, but the Imprisoned man waB an Englishman I would appeal to my own country for his release. TO HE CONTINUED. Tho most Injurious weed at the pres ent time In the middle Atlantlo states Is wild garlic. From Pennsylvania to South Carolina and Tennessee, It is known to townspeople as disfiguring lawns, to farmers nnd millers as a pest In wheat, and to dairymen and their customerc as ruining dairy pro ducts when eaten by cows In the tas tunes. In different parts of tho region where It grows In this country It Is called "wild garlic" and "wild onion," and less frequently "Held garlic" and "crow garlic." Wild garllo Is not native In this country, but wns Introduced at an ear ly date from the old world. The ear liest writings distinguishing It from other species, mention It ns growing in fields and vineyards In Germany and France. One of the earliest authentic records of Its presence In America Is contained in I'ursh's American Flora, published In 1S14, In which It Is said to be "In old fields; common." Between 1814 and 1S23. several authors, writing on the plants of this country, st.Ue that this species was abundnnt and trouble some from New York to Virginia, DESCRIPTION. Wild garlle Is a perennial plant, pro pagating almost exclusively by means of secondary underground bulbs and aerial bulblets. The form which Is most abundant In America rarely pro duces seeds. In lawns and pastures where the tops are not allowed to de velop, wild garlic reproduces Itself by the small secondary bulbs or "cloves" developing at the base of the old bulb. These may be found In clusters at a depth of from three to ten Indies be low the surface of the ground. Soon after tho fall rains they send up tufts of blue-green shoots. Those shoots re main green, apparently little Injured by the cold or winter. The bulbs, which In autumn are but little larger than grains of wheat, grow during the winter to the size of common ueas or larger, and In spring new bulbs are formed at their bases. In grain Holds, meadows and places whero tho tops ore- undisturbed, wild garlic propagates by aerial bulblets, like the "sets" of cultivated onions, as well as by the underground second ary bulbs. The llower-bearlng stem, put forth In May or early June, Is from ten to thirty Inches tall. The llowers, varying from. greenlsh-whlte to reddish-purple, are about one-sixteenth of an lncho long In simple umbels. The seeds, when present, are black, flat, triangular, sniveled, and about one sixteenth of an Inch In length. The Howerc are usually followed by the aerial bulblets, forty to one bundrea and twenty growing on each plant. Meanwhile, secondary bulbs, have been growing beneath the bulb In the ground, and thus the multiplication of the species Is abundantly provided for. OTHEH SPECIES. There are about fifty native SDeclea of onion In the United States, and some of these are frequently mistaken for wild garlic. They all have the same disagreeable odor, but this 1b usu ally less strong than In wild garlic. Tho most common of them grow on low, wet land, and die out when tho land Is cultivated, while the wild gar lic thrives well on high land or In dry soli, and often increases under or dinary cultivation. All ot the other species east of the Hocky mountains may be distinguished from wild Garlic by hnvlng the leaves flat or channeled on one side Instead of round, or tho llowers more than one-sixth of at) Inch long, or the flower cluster bent over to one side Instead of erect, or the coats of the bulb fibrous instead of membraneous. to a depth of about three feet and all of the garlic bulbs found were picked out and destroyed. The land was greatly Improved by the process, and tho quan tity of Wild garlic was much reduced, but enough of the bulbs escaped to re seed the land within a few years. On a very small area trenching may be practicable, but It would be easier nnd more thorough to dig out each tuft of plnntn separately In the fall and burn the bulbs together with the earth sur rounding them. Hand pulling has been tried. This Is most effective Just nt the flowering time, since most of the young second ary bulbs will then cling to the base of the old bulb. Some of them are likely to be left, however, even In soft, culti vated land. Moreover, tho stalks arc somewhat hidden by other vegetation nt thin time. Cultivation with hoed crops has been tried, but this alone Is Ineffective, since the garlic mnkes its principal growth In the fall and early In tho spring. To destroy wild garlic by plowing and cultivation, the land should be plowed late In the fall, the depth of the furrow varying1 In differ ent soils, so as to lenve as many bulbs as possible near tho surface to be ex posed to alternate freezing and thaw ing. Any surviving shoots should bo destroyed by early spring cultivation, and after thorough fitting, oats or bar ley may be sown or corn planted. Oats or barley nro better than a hoed crop unless the latter can be well cultivated until midsummer. This process re peated for two successive years will destory nearly all the garlic, nnd the remaining plants may be more econom ically destroyed by othe methods. LIME AND SALT. of the cows, are among the best ways of nvoldlng the Injurious effects of wild garlic upon dairy products, without entirely destroying the plants. Hut these are only makeshifts. Complete eradication of tho garlic plants Is tho only satisfactory method. Sat the theaters, j Frederick Warde wll bring his great revival of Shakespeare's "King Lear," of which so much has been written nnd said In prnlse to the Frothlnghain this evening. The New Orleans Tlmcs Dcmociat says: "As a scenic produc tion, Mr, Warde's "King Iear" Is ar tistic and adequate everywhere, and perhaps no stronger commendation could be given to any scenic production of n really great play. The stage pic tures are all artistic nnd us realistic as could be compassed within the some- whut proscrlbid limits of stnge presen tation, while on the other hand they are not of that stupendous class which distract the attention of the audience from the purely dramatic features of the production. Several scenes pre sented last night were beautiful us works of art, In which the perspective effects were little short of marvelous, while the grout storm scene was nt once sublime and realistic." Thursday afternoon Mr. Wnule will present Shakespeare's comedy, "Tho Merchant of Venice," and Thursday night the historic tragedy, "King Hlchnid 111." THE Lit n in rn w m HI r W 124-126 Wyoming Avi For Today, Wednesday, April 28th, Special Bargain in; A liberal application of lime In pas tures nnd meadows will Improve the growth of grasses and clovers.and thus nld In crowding out garlic. This will be found especially effective In soils deficient In lime, as- Is tho case through out a large proportion of the garlic-Infested area. Hogs confined on garlic patches In sandy laud will root out the bulbs and destroy them, and In some instances good results have been obtained by plowing the land and turning them on. Sheep pastured In garlic-Infested fields late in autumn and early In spring will thin out the plants by pre venting the developments, of leaves. In some cases It may bo necessary to salt tho garlic occasionally to induce the sheep to get a taste to overcome their natural dislike for It. After wild garlic has been thinned out by any of the above methods, or where the plants are still confined to Isolated patches, complete eradication can bo most economically effected by the application of carbolic acid. A sin gle drop of strong carbolic on n leaf or shoot will kill the shoot and the bulb from which It grows. Half a teaspoon ful applied so as to Btrlke most of the shoots In a bunch as they grow In pas tures and lawns will kill the entire bunch. The cheaper quality of com merclal carbolic acid, retailing at 30 to 40 cents per gallon, Is effective for this purpose. This should be used with lit tle or no dilution. It Is easily applied with a common machine oil can or a garden watering pot with a small rose or nozzle. To complete the eradica tion by this method the ground should be carefully looked over during each of the two succeeding years. This may best be done In winter or early spring, when the plants are not hidden by other vegetation. Stock, being kept up at this season, Is not likely to be pois oned, and doors and windows being closed, the offensive odor of the acid will be kept out of houses. Experi ments have proved that carbolic acid will kill wild garlic even when the ground Is frozen. While this process certainly requires time, It takes no longer to apply carbolic acid to a gar lic plant than to put Paris green on a potato plant, and It requires much less time than would be necessary to dig out the plants or chop them off with a hoe or spade, a practice that has often been tried with lndefferent results. Crude sulphuric acid, such as Is used In east ern Pennsylvania for destroying Can ada thistles, will kill garlic, but this acid Is exceedingly corioslve, and there fore can not be handled ns easily and as safely as carbolic acid. A water so lution of sodium arsenlte or of arsenic and salsoda will kill wild garlic, but It would be less repulsive to stock than carbolic acid and more likely to result In cases of poisoning.

I in rm Than (Jood. Borax has become such a familiar household article, and enters Into the composition of so muny things In or dinary use, that it Is Interesting to note some experiments of a French physician, Dr. Ch. Fere, who has made exhaustive Investigation Into the qaull ties of this much-used substance. The British Medical Journal says that "there are a considerable number qf persons peculiarly susceptlblo to borax. In them loss of appetite was succeeded by burning pain In the pit of tho stom ach, dryness of the mouth, nnd eventu ally by nausea and vomiting. Borax nlso produces a remarkable dryness of tho skin, which is found to favor, If not to cause, various skin diseases, es pecially eczema. Tho hair also be comes dry and may fall out, causlntr complete baldness. The most danger ous result of the use of borax, how ever, Is Its power of producing kidney disease, or of converting1 a slight dis order of the kidneys Into a fatal mal ady." In view of tho fnct that borax as an Ingredient in hair washes Is exten sively used, this warning does not come amiss, It is not Impossible that, as many of the shampoo mixtures con tain borax, this may account for bald ness In men who habitually indulge In shampooing at the barber's. If eczema Is tho result of a regular use of borax, the question arises whether borax soap Is not a innunco to health, and an ar ticle that should bo restricted In Its employment, The flesh of animals which have eat en wild garlic for some tlmo In tho pasture Is tainted with gnrlle llavor and rendered unmarketable, unless the animals nre fee on a diet free from It for several days before slaughtering. Tho milk of cows eating wild garlic In the pasture has the strong, un wholesome llavor of garlic, and any food containing the garllc-llavored milk Is unpalatable. Cream rising from tho milk has tho flavor apparently In tensified and butter made from tho cream Is worthless. The skimmed milk, clabber, and smearcase, or cot tage cheese, are also spoiled. Garllc llavored milk can not be used for mak ing standard cheese In fact, there Is no way of disposing of It except feed ing It to stock and Helling It to the few people who do not object to the flavor, The period of growth of wild garllo coincides almost exactly with that of rye and winter wheat, and the bulblets are mature at the time these cralns are harvested. As a large proportion of the bulblets are of about the same size and weight as wheat grains It Is Impos sible to separate them cither by sieves or fans unless kept until winter, when the bulblets freeze nnd dry up. Garlle bulblets ground with wheat Impart to the flour their strong flavor, which ren ders unpalatable bread, cake, pastry, and everything made with the Hour. The effect on rye Hour Is practically the same. Ityo and wheat needed for seeding purposes should be carefully kept free from garlic bulblets. When garllo bulblets are ground with wheat or rye they not only spoil the Hour, but they cause a further In jury by forming a varnlsh-llke coating on tho rollers. This Interferes with the grinding and makes It necessary to shut down the mill until the gum Is washed off, a process taking from ten to twenty-minutes for each pair of rollers. It Is even worse on the buhr stones than on tho steel rollers, as it gums the burs, Imparts Its flavor to all tho flour, and prevents good grind ing until It Is removed Dy dressing tho burp. The disfigurement of lawns is of less Importance than the damages already mentioned, but the presence of the gar llo is an offense to the eye of anyono who takes pride In an even greenswnrd, and to tho nostrils of anyono who de lights In the odor of new-mown grass. METHODS OF ERADICATION, 1 Many methods for eradicating wild garlic have been tried, most of them falljng thus far of complete success, but many of them effective In reducing tho quantity of the weed, A piece of land nearly an acre In extent at Ger mautown.

Many efforts have been made to avoid the tainting of dairy products by wild garlic or to remove or disguise the odor. In some localities small pieces of saltpeter are placed In the pall during milking. Whllo saltpeter does not produce any Immediate harm ful effects when thus diluted und taken In small quantities, its continued use Is very likely to result In Injury. Simple aeration by pouring the milk 'from pall to pall while It Is still warm from the cow Improves It to some ex tent, and In large dairies different styles of aerating machines are used with good results. 'Pasteurizing milk in open vessels at a temperature of about IBS degrees F. will remove the garlic llavor to a considerable extent, but experiments have shown that when heat alone Is used It Is neces sary to boll the milk for some time to get rid of the odor. Experiments con ducted In a Virginia creamery teem to prove that a process, combining aera tion and pasteurization is the most sucessful. This treatment has tho ad vantage of using no chemicals, and the operations is simple. Another method, recently described In a prominent dairy paper, consists in washing the cream with double Its bulk of water, In which a little saltpeter has been dis solved, raising the temperature suffi ciently to pasteurize the cream, and then immediately passing It through a centrifugal separator. Iiy this process the cream loses much of Its weed flavor, but as It has been pasteurized It must have a ferment or "starter" add to It to Insure proper ripening. It Is difficult to remove all of the gar lic llavor from milk, and dairymen gen erally afgree that to have milk entirely free from It the cows must bo kept away from where tho weed is abund ant. Not only this, but the stables and dairy room where milk Is to stand must bekept free from garlic odor, which like many other odors, Is readly absorbed by milk. If cows, pasturing where there Js considerable garlic, aro shifted to another field where there Is none nnd where good water Is obtain able, at least three hours before milk ing time, so that they come to the milk- The New York Eye Specialist And Teacher In Practical Applied Optics.
