American potatoes have won a nota
ble victory. For thirty-five years they
have been barred out of France on
the ground that many of them were
affected by a disease that might con
tamlnate the French tubers. As a
matter of fact American potatoes are
about as healthy aa any that are
gto-n. The French scientists, hnv
ing Investigated the matter thorough
ly, have concluded that there la nc
good ground for exclusion, and Amer
Iran potatoes will be admitted freely.
As the French potato crop Is poor

POINTS ON TEMPERATURE.
Miles City, Mont., holds the record
for variation in temp rature. The
highest temperature recorded there is
111 degrees, which Is within 8 degrees
of the highest recorded in the Vnited
States. Miles City's lowest mark has
been 67 degrees below tero, which is
truly arctic. Tho iange between these
two extremes is 17S degrees, which la
a record. Phoer.Ix, Ariz., holds the
record for the hottest weather, 119
Jegrees. Yuma saw the mercury touch
118 degrees. The southern tip of
Florida is the only spot In the Vnited
States which has never been known
.o freeze. The most equable climate
In that oountry is found In Tatoosh
Island, In the Strait of Juan de Fuea,
between Washington and Vancouver
Island, where the temperature never
baa been above 80 degrees, and rarely

REMOVING . THE STOMACH
The operation of removing the en

performed by Schlater of Zurich, in
1897. Mr. Vassallo, a Burgeon of Ar

other operations, and considers their
gravity .more apparent than real. Four
months after the complete removal of
this organ the patient was In ex--ollent

FIFTEEN TCWNS TO FORM A
METROPOLIS
If the plans of certain ambitious
spirits In the Rhenlsh-Westphullan In
dustrial districts are carried out, Ber
lin will shortly lose Its position as the
largest city In Germany. They have
mapped out a scheme for amalgamat
ing fifteen towns, which will create a
metropolis with an Imposing popula
tion of more than 2,600,000 persons.
Berlin numbers only 2,150,000 or
thereabouts. The towns which plan
this raid on Berlin's metropolitan pre
eminence ar Essen, Dnsseldorf,
Hague, Elberfeld, Barmen, Wltten,
Dortmund, Bochum, Gelsenkircben,

California wizard; each tried to pro
duce th thornless rose, but without
success. Then Mrs. Beggs concluded
that the trouble lay in tho climate,
and she moved to Seattle, where she

great beauty and of a fragrance which
is second to that of none of the roses
which grow. The stem is smooth like

tho tidings th it Mrs. C'orlotto lived

was an affecting scene wlivn Mrs.
Colvor arrived at Gloucester. The sis

doath of their father In Baltimore, and
each b jlleved that the other wa dead.
Mrs. Collver said that Bho had tho
dream a month previous to the hnppy
reunion. It inipr -saed her so much
that she wroto to tho postmaster at
Gloucester. After handing her letter
over to Mrs. Corletto, the poatmaster
sent a noto to Mrs. Collver. By th

PASSING OF ELTHAM PALACE
The people of England who have an
appreciative reverence for tho histori
cal buildings of tln.ir country are re
gretting the rapid decay of the royal
palace of Eltham, which for three cen
turies was the home of English kings
and has been the scene of a long pro
cession of splendor and pageantry.
The great banqueting halt, which was
built by Edward IV., la the sole re
maining portion of the vast pile ol
buildings that once formed the palace.
Its beautiful roof of chestnut wood Is
still In fair condition, but unless ex
tensive repairs are made and kept up,
the old hall will not stand much long
er. The neglect of Elthara began un

forces seized and dismantled the pal

"J know a wooden leg that I'd give a
hundred dollars for," said the hospital
doctor. "I don't want to wear it be
cause I have two good flesh and blood
legs of my own, but I'd like that log
as a curiosity. It belongs to a man
who is laid up in the fever ward.
"He has traveled all over the world.
From the knee to the toe the leg Is
