The innate corruption and depravity of human nature w ere perhaps never more clearly brought out than in the historic Black Hole of Calcutta. That atrocity stands unrivaled as an in stance of the utmost suffering human ity can endure, passed through by a large number, yet leaving a few sur vivors to tell the tale. Many more have been slain or executed at one time, death being expected; but probably only safe keeping of the pris oners was intended, and only fear of breaking a despot's sleep prevented their earlier release. Yet this-torture, "unequaled in history of fiction, whose record cannot be read unmoved after the lapse of a hundred and fifty years, was produced merely by crowd ing men together in an ill ventilated room. No flres, racks, nor scourges were needed; all that was done or re quired to be done was to take from each the amount of air and space to which he was accustomed, crush him into close proximity with his fellows, and the thing was accomplished.

The newly introduced vegetable, the dasheen, which resembles the potato and Is a peculiarly suitable crop for our Southern states, has been experi mented with by scientists of the de partment of agriculture, who now give the details of a special way in which it may be forced. By forcing and blanching the shoots of thi3 tuber crop (which ordinarily is grown like the potato) the scientists have ob tained a new tender delicacy for the table which may be used much like asparagus, while its flavor is suggest ive of mushrooms. Several ways of forcing and blanch ing the shoots of this vegetable have been tried and satisfactory shoots have been grown in all these ways. In one of the experiments blanching was ac complished by keeping the shoots cov ered with sand. In other experiments by the department, a frame covered with several thicknesses of burlap was used. Tbe boxes In which these exper iments were carried on were placed in a greenhouse on a bench that was supplied with bottom heat. Where the production of shoots on a large scale is desired other methods are more suitable. These are de scribed In a circular just issued by the office of foreign seed and plant intro duction, entitled "The Forcing ' and Blanching of Dasheen Shoots." The office will supply the bulletin to any one that requests it. Requests should be addressed to the United States de partment of agriculture, Washington, D. C. The new circular gives a number of illustrations, one of which snows a bed of dasheens in a greenhouse at Battle Creek, Mich. There is a board covering shown In the course of con struction which is for the purpose of blanching the shoots. This is prac tically light-proof and should have sides from 18 to 24 inches high. The temperature Inside this should be about 70 degrees F. The soil (or sand) should be a little warmer, say 80 de crees. To obtain this temperature it Is best to partially inclose the space beneath the bed. To obtain the shoots, corms of the dasheen. weighing two to three pounds or more, are planted in a fairly warm place In very moist sand or sandy soil. "Corm" Is the term used to describe the bulb-like root of the plant as "tuber" Is used to describe that of the potato. A half-and-half mixture of sand and ordinary, potting soil has given good results. The corms are Just cov ered, the terminal bud being at the surface. Provision must be made for wnintr the shoots in total darkness from the time they begin to grow. Wa ter should be supplied often enough to keep the sand or soil continuously moist. The first crop of shoots Is usually ready for cutting In 35 to 40 days after planting. From six to ten cuttings can ue mau i ,i,i.v . . . days, depending upon temperature and thP size of the corms useu. u aro cut close to the corm, and as far as practicable, before the leaves be- e-in to expand. Tney wui men usuauy be eight to sixteen inches long. After the corms become exhausted. which Is indicated by the weak growm of the shoots, they are discarded Out of doors in a warm region, as in Florida, the corms may be planted in rowa In sandy soil and the shoots blanched by ridging the soil as growth nroeresses. Instead of ridging the loll, 'boards may be used, as in blanching celery, but tbe shoots must not at any tage of their growth be exposed to light for any considerable length of time. The shoots have been found to keep well for several days if In a cool, dry place. A they are very succulent, however, It Is better that the period of storage be very limited not over two to four days when avoidable. A little ventilation Is necessary, but as the shoots oon wilt If evaporation Is too rapid a paraffined paper should be used In wrapping and a slight opening left Sometimes, when the shoots are to be kept for only a day or two before , A Dasheen Plant As It Grows in the Field Depart S ft, i ,d 'LJ V"? l"li ' - ' . ." .I L . 4 i- using, it may be advisable to wrap first in wet paper and thtn with par affined paper, especially if the place where they are to be kept is not quite cool enough. Shoots Should Never Be Tasted Raw. A special method of cooking Is re quired for blanched dasheen shoots in order to destroy a slight bitterness of taste. They should never be tasted raw. The following recipes, although pre pared with a good deal of care, are not considered as final, and it is hoped that housewives and others will try modifications of them: (1) Cut the shoots into two-Inch lengths, pour on an abundance of boil ing water, add salt, and boil for 12 minutes; drain, pour on enough cold milk so that the shoots will be com pletely covered when it boils; season with salt and boll for five minutes dram, season with butter and serve on toast or plain. Cream sauce may be used in serving if desired. (2) Instead of boiling In milk after draining off the first water, add a little piece of bacon or other fat meat, and then ntVr the shoots with cold water, secjtiill. fc salt, and boil for five mi run ana serve. -nent cannot supply in- Impies of this new de 4e dasheen.

The department has al ready emphasized the advisability of the extension of this crop in the South ern states. In its ordinary uses the dasheen satisfactorily supplements the potato when there is a shortage of the latter crop. iininrn viiUlULu a nn m 8uff,UIM Home of Wealthy Planter. thine Is gay and radiant, from the tinted water beneath the ship's keel to the glistening white roofs on shore He has been waited from winter to spring, and the change has been wrought with surprising swiftness.

When locating hotbeds, cold-frames or greenhouses it Is Important to se lect a place which Is protected as much as possible - from hard, western winds. If protection Is not afforded by buildings, woods, hills or wind breaks It Is easily possible to soon establish a wind-break and- in the meantime a tight board fence can be erected to give protection until the hedge has made sufficient growth. Wed Few Day After Meeting, Wife Dies Soon, Leaving Him Heir to $200,000. Durham. N. C. Sylvanus Gray of Durham, when employed six months ago as a messenger boy by the West ern Union Telegraph company, was sent with a telegram for Miss Lulu Johnson of Lynchburg, Va., who was visiting in West Durham.
