The tono of a bell may bo raised or low ered by cutting off a little metal In the proper places. To lower the tone the bell-tuner puts the bell in hli lathe and reams It out from the point where the swell begins nearly down to the rim. As the work porceeds he frequently tests the note with a tun Inp fork, and the moment the right tone Is reached he stops the roaming. To raise the tone, on the contrary, he shaves off the lower edge of the bell, gradually lessoning or flatten Ins the bevel. In order to shorten the bell, or of two bells of equal diam eter and thickness the shorter will give the higher note. A notable instance of bell-tuning recently occurred at Ijausanne, France, where twelve bells, in three neighboring Rtoeples, had only seven separate notes, and produced a most curious discord. Skim Milk s a Fertilizer. Skim milk as a fertilizer for crops Is interesting many farmers abroad, several of whom declare thut aston ishing results have come from its use. In the vicinity of one farm a dairy had a lot of skint milk that could not be used. Two farmers took the milk and poured It on their lands p.s an experiment. One emptied seventy-five cans and another 150. Re markable results have been obtain ed. Their grass is now seven times as vigorous an on adjoining fields where the milk was not used, but which were covered with commercial fertilizers. Value of Taper (ias ripes. Gas pipes of pnper are being made in France. Manila paper is cut Into strips equal to Ihe length f the pipes to be made. They are then placed In a receiver filled with nielt d asphalt and wrapped around a oro of Iron until the desired thlok ?ss is reached. After being submlt d to a strong pressure, the paper Is inkvl with sand, cooled, the core ifhdrawn and the outer pipe stir re covered with a waterproof prep rmlon. It Is claimed that these ii es are good as, and more economl al than, metal ones. Indian Mine Worker. The Inhabitants of Cape Town col ny, South Africa, demand that the '.rltlsh East Indians, who are now mployed In the mines, be compelled o register, so that there may not be ny further importations of obnox ins laborers. They are equally rp osed to Chinese and Indian la'ior rs, while the mining companies ant any labor (Asiatic or negro) . hlrh will enable them to exploit lie mines. A Villi! ible Kind. A laborer who was clearing away T'ie rubbish from nn old outhouse t Netherhampton, near Salisbury, England, found seven old spoons, ach of which was stuck on end In 0 earth. The spoons have been ."aned, and are of silver and gilt. hey are dated 1529. and a local nveler has valued them at $250 ach. Colleetlnsr Forced Art Works. The Ingenuity of collectors In tlio liscovery of new fields having been axhausted, there Is still open to them that of collecting the finest specimen of forged or spurious works of art and this Is capable of becoming 3 hobby, scarcely loss interesting or admirable than the pursuit of the genuine article. Art Journal. I'tlli.lng Cotton Stalks. High hopes are entertained that much of the fiber of the cotton stalks In the South will soon be utilized for making paper, and scientific stu dents of the boll weevil believe that If the stalks can thus be disposed ot at a profit the weevil will do little damage to cotton. Many Deserted Wives. During the year 1906 30,000 de serted wives have been relieved by the Berlin poor law officials at a cost of $125,000. A great majority of cases of matrimonial troubles re sulted front drunkenness, which, breaks up homes, at least tempo rarily. Cause of Shipwreck. Unusual currents, an uncharted! rock, and a defective light on Bar-1 bers Point are the reasons assigned by Captain Thomas Peubody, in the investigation of the wreck, for the stranding of the transport Sheridan on a reef off Oahu island.

Pot-hidden Oaaiea, Almost every one of England's pop ular games bus at one time or another been made Illegal. Scotland Is the homo of golf, jot In H.")7 the Scottish parliament passed an not entailing se ven? penalties on any ono caught play ing the game. F.dward III., Henry IV. and Henry VIII. all strongly objected to football, and Queen Elizabeth made It an of fense punishable by Imprisonment to play football. There Is n record of six tceu people being Imprisoned ot once for breaking this law. Football Is still under a ban In some parts of tho world. Two of the 8wls' cantons refuse to allow It. and In Tur key It is absolutely illegal, and those who dare to play It are punished. Among oddities of laws about games must bo mentioned a French decree of the thirteenth century. By the king's command the gallants of the court were forbidden to play tennis "lu their shirts." Whether his majesty of France Insisted upon coats only or whether the unfortunate players were doomed to practice In complete suits of armor does not appear. London Graphic. Aarrlrultare In Africa. . Excepting perhaps some Malayan tribes the African negroes are said to be the finest agriculturists of nil the natural races. The Bongos are said to have a greater variety of garden plants around their huts than are found In the fields and gardens of a German vil lage. Irrigation Is practiced. The An golas, In the Kongo dlstrloit, have prac tical Irrigation. The Wachangu show wonderful skill In Irrigating their ter raced hillsides by tunnels of water di verted from the main stream. "They have a clear mode of Irrigating equally a given surface. As the little canals of water are always elevated nbove the cultivated plants, they will tap them at a convenient spot above the beds to be watered and then turn the stream Into n rough conduit made of the hol low stems of bananas out In half, tho end of each stem overlapping the next. Then as the water enters the Inst Joint It Is freely turned right and left, dis tributing the vivifying stream In all directions." Soul hern Workman. Too fold For Overcoat. "You do not find tiny one wearing overcoats lit Alaska, even lu the win ter," said a man front tbnt territory. "The principal thing to be careful about Is keeping the head, hands and feet warm. In that part of Alaska where I have been the only land trans portation Is by dog sleds, and to fol low them oue has to drop Into a dog trot beside tho sled. An ordinary suit Is plenty thick enough to keep' you warm, and an overcoat Is dangerous in that temperature. Trotting alongside a sled wearing an overcoat would make you perspire, and the bitter cold would freeze the perspiration. The men there wear a fur cap that covers every part of the head and face except the eyes, and there Is only a little peep hole for them. Wool lined mitts are worn on the hands and moccasins with woolen stockings on the feet." Balti more Sun. Tmtredr of n Wooden I.er. A man who travels on a wooden leg says: "About the worst accident we ever heard of befalling a wooden leg ged man Is the time one snob unfor tunate was going homo nfter lielng to n late supper, along about 3 o'clock in the Morning, when his peg leg went through an auger hole In the grub plank sidewalk, and be kept circling about that hole nil night thinking be was going homo. The editor of this paper wants It distinctly undevstood that we c.nnot vouch for the truth fulness ot this story." Kansas City Journal. Cioanod'n Pronrrn. "A3 you advance further lu your art," said llouuod to a young poet, 'you will come to think of the great poets of the past as I now appreciate the great musicians of former times.
