Historic Tract Being Reclaimed Famous "Qampagn? Romana" Is ^•eing Cultivated and ^ Yielding Big Crops. OTS m FOR MM xm 8lnee the Fall of the Roman Empire This Once Fruitful Tract Has Been Uncultivated--To Reclaim Many Thousand Acroa. \ Ostia, Italy.--Efforts are being made to reclaim and plant parts of the vast tract of land which stretches for several miles around Rome and goes by the name of the "Campagna Romana." It has been allowed to remain idle and uncultivated ever since the fall of the Roman empire. Dublin Bicycle Shop a Bomb Arsenal British auxiliary police recently uncovered a veritable Sinn Fein bomb Jiioenal In this bicycle shop on Parnell street, Dublin. They are shown inspecting a case of tbe bombs. Before that time it was a sort of terrestrial paradise; villas and gardens were dotted all over it as far as the eye could see, it was luxuriant with fruits and flowers, it supplied food and work for thousands upon thousands of men, it was one of the most beautiful and intensely cultivated spots in the world. When Rome, however, was obliged to resign her position as "the mistress of the world," the "campagna" was abandoned and gradually became a marshy, malaria-infected desfcrt, inhabited only by a few hardy shepherds. Now Law Having Effect. Now, however, the law which was recently passed, decreeing that anyone who does not cultivate his land to tbe utmost of Its capacity. I» liable to have the land confiscated, is beginning to have its effects. Prince Aldohrnndinl has engaged ~ company to recluira a huge estate of several thousands of acres, which ha awns In the "campagna." The work already has begun and an experimental station ha* been set up at Ostia. The land was first of all drained and then arrangements were made to obtain water from the Tiber for Irrigation. Electric tractors to drawf the plows were then bought and various kinds of fruit, vegetables and cereals were cultivated in order to find out how fertile the land Is and what kind of crop It is most adapted, for. •: > Yields Plentiful Crops,- . The results were beyond the wildest hopes of any of the promoters ot the company. The land, after lying Idle for centuries, seems to have stored up its fertility throughout all that time and NAW yields crop upon crop with unstinting hand. An attempt has even been made to grow cotton here and the experiment has been successful, but how succesa* fill it has been Impossible to deter* mine, as the cottonseed used was of the worst quality obtainable. This year, however. It Is proposed to plant American or Egyptian cotton. So hap» py have the results at the experimental station been, that It Is hoped that soon work may be begun for the total reclaiming of the whole of the "cam' pagna." MOON AFFECTS RADIO American Fleet Officers Make Interesting Discovery. efficiency of Air for Transmitting Radio Communications Affectsd by Changea of Moon. Paris.--Tbe changes of~~the moon have beeo found by the radio officers of the small American fleet }N the Adriatic sea to have a striking effect upon the efficiency of the atmosphere for transmitting radio communicationa. The officers have succeeded In drawing curves and other diagrams, based upon months of observation, which, they assert, reliably serve to indicate what atmospheric and celestial conditions affecting radio service will be met at any particular date in the future. The discovery apparently has ape- >cial application to the vicinity of the Adriatic, for there the changes In the atmospheric conditions caused by the change in the world's relation to the moon are much more marked than anywhere else in the world so for as yet discovered. The Adriatic fleet under Admiral Andrews depends almost entirely for Its communications upon radio service, and having only receiving and sending apparatus of moderate efficiency it has specially benefited from the discoveries. The powerful land wireless stations, such as the new Lafayette station near Bordeaux, manage to overcome unfavorable conditions by using great power and so are not concerned about which way the nfbon Woman Brands*. - Bloomlngton, lnd.--When she failed to give food to a tramp who called ut her home near Kirksviile, Mrs. John Carmlehael, forty-five years old, a farmer's wife, was attacked and branded In many places with a flatiron she had been using.

He spends his money freely, is an excellent dancer, can sing a good song well and talks easily. He marks down foolish women who wear too many Jewels or spend too much money.

They know their way about the hotlbes to be robbed and usually are familiar with the habits of the person to be robbed.
