SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 11.—The
mysterious disappearance of two men
from different camps on the Mojave

DISASTERS CROWD
FAMILY'S HISTORY
Remarkable List of Fatalities
Mars Lives of Residents
in New York
NEW YORK, Dec. I.—Another Is
likely to be added to the remarkable
list of fatalities in the family of Mies
Adelaide Cummlng, 173 West Forty
fifth street. She was summoned from
Boston Friday night 'on account of the
critical illness of her sister.
Last week Miss Jane Gumming, who
is 32 years of age, put on a new dress
of the hobble skirt variety, and as
she was going- downstairs she slipped
and fell. Her hip bone was broken
and various complications have set in,
which determined friends to send for
the sister.
Here is the list of misfortunes which
have happened to members of Miss
Cumming's family:
Grandfather wrecked and drowned at
sea.
Father killed in a boiler explosion.
Sister killed by a snowball.
Another eister kiled by poison from
wounds. »
Third sister killed by a trunk lid
falling on her head.
Nephew went down in the Maine.
Nephew lost in the San Francisco
earthquake.
Sister loses her mind from shock and
is in insane hospital.
Last sister dangerously hurt by a
fall.
Miss Cumming is still a young wo
man, but her first bereavement hap
pened while she was a small child.
Her grandfather, John G. dimming, a
sailor of Salem, Mass., was ship
wrecked, and although the crew took
to the boats, the sen waa so rough that
the boats were swamped, and Cum
mins was not among the few survivors.
His son, James C. Cumming, was a
merchant of Salem, and the boiler ex
plosion In which he and fifteen others
were blown to pieces Is still historic
in that town.
Only two weeks after her father's
death a younger sister of Miss Cum
mlng was breaking a stick of wood
over her knee, when Bhe fractured her
kneecap and had to have her leg ampu
tated. Gangrene developed, from
which she died.
Another sister was killed at the age
of ten, being struck on the forehead by
a snowball in which a stone was Im
bedded, and a still more unusual fate
overtook another sister, Mary, several
years agV>. She VU packing a trunk,
when the lid fell and crushed her skull.
She died instantly.
The unhappy fnte of the family
seemed to descend to tho branches, for
one of Mias Cummlng's nephews was
lost In the San Francisco earthquake
In one of the collapsed buildings which
took lire. A brother of this lad, En
sign Matthews, had perished on the
Maine in Havana harbor. These trage
dies so preyed upon the mind of the
mother, Miss Cummlng's sister, that
she became violently insane, and Is
now In a Massachusetts asylum. Now'
the last near relative of Miss Cum
ming is in a hospital, and it Is im
possible to say whether she will escape
the family fate or not.
A friend of Miss Cummlng naw the
reporter who called at her boarding
house and said:
"When we heard of this last misfor
tune we could hardly believe it was
true. Poor Adelaide has had so much
misfortune that it peems it must end
sometime. You would think she would
be the most superstitious and nervous
person In the world, and I have often
asked her if she did not expect from
day to day that something terrible
would happen to her. she says, though,
that she doesn't; that she has learned
to be philosophical about It. She
la as merry and bright as can be, and
If she lives with the thought that
there is a sword hanging over her head
and that It might .fall at any moment
you would never guess It from her
manner."

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—As guardian

conservation, excepting water, power
and coal, which at that time did not
flßur* so prominently in the Industrial
progress of the country as today. Of
laic years Wiley has been too busy
chasing adulterators of food and the
dopers of drugs given to babies and
the sick, to even think of any phase of
conservation excepting public health,
and this makes his remarks of eighteen
years ago all the more wlgnlflcant to
day. A few paragraphs of what he
said will give an Idea of the doctor's
conception of conservation at that time.
He said:
VAST WASTE OF TI.ANT FOOB
"In this country, owing to the great
stores of wealth which the past had
accumulated in the soil, it is only
within recent years that the question
of the supply of plant food has as
sumed any practical importance.
"As long as there were virgin fields
at the disposal of the agricultural
rapist, the conservation and restora
tion of exhausted fields was of little
consequence. Not only have these
stores of plant food been utilized, but,
much to the discredit of the American
farmer, they have been wasted. The
mark of good agriculture Is to see field*
yielding annually good returns and in
creasing, or at least not lessening in
fertility. This being true, the history
of American agriculture to within a
few years must be the history of bad
farming, for everywhere we have seen
fertile fields losing their fertility and
farms once productive abandoned.
"The waste to which I desire to call
your attention is not that which nor
mally takes place In the production of
■a crop, but that which is incidental to
the cultivation of the soil and to a
certain extent unavoidable. I refer to
the denudation of fields by water and
to the removal of soluble plant food by
the percolation of water through the
soil. The losses due to the denudation
of fields are purely of a mechanical
character.
GREAT VALUE OF FORESTS
"The natural forest, or the natural
covering of grass over an area of soil,
prevents, to a large extent, the denu
dation due to heavy downpours of rain.
The removal of the forest and the de
struction of the grass by cultivation,
leave the soil in a condition in which
it is unable to resist the action of flow
ing surface water. A more striking
lesson may be seen in the hill regions
bordering both banks of the Ohio river.
'•Hundreds of fields once covered
with sturdy forests of oak, maple and
walnut, and afterward bearing large
crops of maize, tobacco and wheat
may now be seen furrowed with gullies',
as with the wrinkles of age, and aban
doned to brush and briers. The same
is doubtless true of other hill regions,
but I speak the more advisedly of
those which have come under my per
sonal observation. Great, however, as
the mechanical loss of plant food is.
it is by no means as dangerous as the
loss of the soluble materials caused by
the percolation of water through the
soil.
"From the foregoing summary of the
methods of waste of plant food, it has
been seen that in spite of all precau
tions of the farmer and the chemist,
and in spite of the selective absorp
tion of the soil, immense quantities or
valuable plant food are carried into the
sea, where apparently they are lost to
agriculture forever."
