CAMERA FOR INSECTS. Hon to Adjust the Photographic Ap paratus and the Proper Method of Ktponare. On the top of a tripod or camera stand may be fixed a double, board, hinged so that it will turn up at right angles with its base as in the accom panying sketch, and supported 6y a side rod or slotted bar. It will be seen that if the camera is screwed to the up right board, the lens will point down ward to the ground. It is obvious that if anything is placed on the floor, by using the camera in this position the object can be very readily seen on the ground glass of the instrument. Hooks, manuscripts and sueli like things that are difficult to fix up can thus be very easily copied, and with a great saving of time. The size does not matter. One has only to lengthen or reduce the dis tance between the object and the lens to get the necessary reduction; but it is not for this purpose that 1 now de scribe an arrangement 1 have success fully used for some years in photo graphing insects, such as butterflies, beetles, or shells, leaves, single flowers, etc. Much time can be saved, as one has <jnly to place the object on some suitable support and photograph. Some people may inquire about the shadow, as it often mars the beauty of the photo graph, though sometimes it adds very materially to its relief. To obviate this I place my object on a sheet of clear Jypgp CAMERA FOR INSECTS. glass with a piece of white or colored paper, as the subject may require, at such a distance as to cast no visible shadow. That is to say, the shadow is lost before it reaches the paper. By this means one gets a negative, of the 1 object only. Some subjects look better on a clear ground, then use a sheet of white paper. For tinted ground, a gray; and for black ground, a dull chocolate paper will be found the best, as it seems to have the least reflection and absorbs the light better than black. Such butterflies as the common and marble whites, small blues, etc., look better on a dark ground, whereas near- | ly all the others show better on a clear ground. The same remarks will apply to other insects. In making a series of photographs of butterflies, they should all bear the same relative pro portion to one another, as in nature, and not be the same size. To obtain this, they should be taken with the same extension of the camera, anil the same distance between the object and the lens. By working on these lines one can obtain a set of photographs that are perfectly accurate in size, with relation to one another. I have not said anything about the method of ex posure. This is the crux. If one's sub ject is not properly lighted and exposed we do not get a negative worth print ing. I would at once say that if one has the opportunity, there is nothing like daylight; but it is not everyone who can spare the time to work in the light of day. Further, many days dur ing the winter months are not tit for such work, so it is best to use mag nesium ribbon, as its photographic value is nearer to daylight than any thing else. With seven inches of the ribbon, and a rapid, thickly coated plate, one will find it easy to get a good negative, full of detail, and gradation of light and shade. The best developer to use is pyro-soda. For the formulae, see any of the photographic text books. I need scarcely remark that any printing paper may be used, pref erably those of the gelatino-eliloride type, as they give a brighter image.— T. E. Freshwater, F. R. M.

REASON FOR CURLS. KngliNh Scientist i'ihlhlt» n Model 111 us Irn 11 it K How Jlntnr»l Curli» uriN Im Produced. At a recent conversazione of the Royal society, says the London Graphic, a curious exhibit was shown by i'rof. Arthur Thomson, namely, a model to illustrate how natural curlincss of hair is produced. According to the explana tion three factors require consideration in the production of curly hair: (1) The hair shaft; (2) the hair muscle, and (3) the sebaceous gland. Straight hair is always circular on section, and is usually thicker than curly hair, which is ribbonlike and fine. In order that the muscle may act as an erector of the hair it is requisite that the shaft Ttr\ HOW HAIR CURLSNATtIiALLY. of the hair imbedded in the skin should be sufficiently strong to resist any ten dency to bend; unless this be so the leverlike action necessary to produce its erection is destroyed. When the hair is fine and ribbonlike the shaft ia not sufficiently stout to resist the strain of the muscle and naturally assumes a curve, the degree of curvature depend ing on the development of the muscle, the resistance of the hair and the size of the sebaceous gland. The curve thus produced becomes permanent and af fects the follicle in which the hair is developed, the softer cells at the root of the hair becoming more horny as they advance toward the surface, retain the form of the follicle; the cells on the concave side of the hair being more compressed than those on the convex side. In this way the hair retains the form of the follicle after it has escaped from it. A LIGHTNING STORY. Stritiiße ('(INO licporU'd to a Mctlirnl Journal by mi Kmlnont Knu -11 *lt l*hyule Inn. Two brothers, aged respectively 28 and 22 years, were driving together near Chester in a dogcart during a thunderstorm. They were apparently struck by lightning and seem to have fallen simultaneously out of the back of the vehicle, for they were found about five minutes after the flash lying side by side on the road with the seat of the dogcart under their legs and the driving apron over them. 1 arrived from ten to fifteen minutes afterward and found them both quite dead; the bodies were lying in the road in the same position as they were found. The elder brother had no external sign of injury. The younger brother present ed the following appearances: The epidermis was burned over the chest and abdomen, not continuously, but in a number of circular holes from one sixteenth of an inch to a quarter of an inch in diameter. The metallic collar sttid was fused and Ihe skin beneath was deeply burned. The back from the neck to the buttocks was burned, but less severely than in front. The vest and shirt were charred, but the waist coat and coat were uninjured. The woolen drawers and trousers had a hole burned in them about about two inches in diameter corresponding to a burn on the right buttock. On the occiput there was a contused scalp wound evi dently due to the fall from the ve hicle. There were no other injuries nor were any of the clothes torn off either of the bodies. There was still no rigor mortis an hour and a half after death. His watch was going and seems not to have been magnetized, as it has kept good time since. The cloth of the cushion on which the younger brother sat. was burned on its outer surface, but the wooden seat beneath was uninjured. The tailboard of the dogcart has the paint slightly singed immediately be hind the younger brother's seat, otner wisc the vehicle bears no traces of the ■lightning. It was very wet from the rain.

Thyroid Kxtrnet HUM Jimt Heen Pro nounced mi Almost Infallible Care l'or Cretinism. Cretinism is a form of idiocy caused by the lack of part of the thyroid gland. It is a form of goitre. Many children have it. The moment the thyroid secre tion stops forming the development of the child stops short. If, for instance, the child had advanced to the age of seven and then failed of its thyroid, it would go through life as a seven-year old child as far as brain development is concerned. There is an opposite condi tion brought about when too much thyroid secretion is deposited. \\'<s know it then as exopthalmie goitre. A person with this malady is the opposite of the idiot that is, intensely active and alert, supersensitive in all things, the antithesis of dullness, as it were. Exopthalmie goitre can be cured by removing part of the thyroid gland from the throat; cretinism can be cured, or rather held in check, by ad ministering thyroid extract to the idiot. If a child is taken young and properly doctored with thyroid extract it will goon developing just 'ike smy normal child. But if the administering of the extract should be stopped sud denly. the youngster would relapse into its former idiotic state, or, at any ruto, •toy oft v, hare it was.

A few years ago hard times made the Western farmer deny himself everything save the barest necessities of life. Then came the great crop year of I*'.» 7 and with it a story. A Nebraska farmer carried a mort gage of $4, -00 011 his property, and it was a burden hard to contend with. The wheat crop in 'O7 was enormous and prices were high. He appeared at the bank shortly after harvest, pulled out $4,000 and asked for a loan of S2OO to enable him to cancel the mortgage note. The banker, who held the note, urged him not to bother about it, but go and buy cattle with his $4,000, feed |iis corn crop and in that way get the maxirniftn for his product. "No, sir," replied the farmer, "I want to pay that note now. Then when I harvest the corn crop I'm goin' to pay you back that S2OO I just borrowed, and then do you know what I'm going to do?" and his honest face beamed all over with pleasure. "I'm going to buy a buggy!" This little incident tells the story of thousands of others out in Nebraska, and the fact that during the past six months one concern in Chicago shipped to one firm in Omaha alone one hundred and thirty carloads of buggies and carriages,averaging about. 22 to the ear. makes it very evident that prosper ity is with Nebraska. It is a wonderful state with great resources, and the crops of the past few years have put Nebraska farmers in an enviable posi tion. GETTING A DINNER. Hon- Two Sehemlnir llaseal* Vic timized a SI ran lie ron the t'ariH Ilonlevard. The other day a rather amusing scene was witnessed on a l'aris boule vard. Two friends of rather excitable temperament perceived quietly sitting at the foot of a table in front of a cafe an enormous dog. with a head, teeth and claws that would have done credit to a lion. "Well," said one of them, "the owner of that creature need be afraid of no body with such a protector." "What, that dog!" said the other. "Why, he wouldn't move a paw." The dispute grew warm, and the first peaker emphatically declared: "I bet a dinner that you won't ven ire to touch its master!" "Not venture, indeed! You shall soon see!" was the quick rejoinder. So saying, the latter dealt a box on the ears of a gentleman who was drink ing a glass of beer at the table where the dog sat. The gentleman littered a loud cry and rushed upon his assailant; the dog re mained impassive. An explanation fol lowed, and the injured gentleman was informed of the wager in question. "But the dog isn't mine," he howled, in a tremendous passion. An hour later, however, you might have observed through the windows oi a famous restaurant a little distance away three jovial guests sitting before a sumptuously spread table, and dis cussing the merits of several bottles of old wine. They were the bettors and their victim.—Tit-Bits. Chart ren.se. More than 40 plants enter into the composition of the liqueur, chartreuse.

A Synteni of Siih-Irrleatlon \\hl<*l> Ik Very Simple Hut lillcetlvc In Every Inntuuce. In transplanting trees, success de pends largely upon the water supply. Most trees do the major part of their growing in the springtime. After the middle of summer practically all wood growth ceases, and the balance of the year is devoted to hardening up the wood to withstand the cold of winter, so that the wood growth of trees de pends largely upon the kind of spring and June weather encountered. If the spring is a backward one, and a May or June drought ensues, even though slight, no matter how splendid the growing weather of the latter part of summer and fall may be, the wood growth of trees will be light. There iP/ ill^ HOW TO WATER TREES. fore it is well to irrigate transplanted trees. In watering plants of any kind a large proportion of the moisture ap plied is lost by evaporation. A very simple method for sub-irrigation of trees is shown in the cut. Take four pieces of eight or ten-inch board, two feet long, and nail them together into a simple, four-sided box without ends. Set this in the ground at the base of the tree and let the top project above ground three or four inches. Throw some coarse grass or trash into the bot tom of the box, and a pailful of water can occasionally be poured into the box and allowed to soak into the earth gradually. In this way no water will be wasted and the surface soil can be kept finely pulverized and conserve the moisture down at the roots. This meth od of watering is especially practicable for transplanted trees, because their roots are all in a small compass and have not yet spread out the height of the tree, as will be the case later. A large tile forms an ideal box of this kind. Soapsuds or waste water of any kind can be used to good advantage in this manner.—Guy E. Mitchell, in Epitomist.

The blade can lie made any length that the distance between the rows requires.— Ira Graber, in Agricultural Epitomist. Feeil ami Pork Flavor. There is a vast difference in the qual ity of pork. Some is sweet, tender and juicy. Some is directly the reverse. Feed is largely responsible for this difference, says the Epitomist. In ex periments, conducted for the purpose of determining the influence of food on the quality of pork, it has been found that milk, corn, barley, oats and peas produce the most solid and best-fla vored meat. I'otatoes produce a soft pork. By-products of the flour mill make an inferior pork. Oil meals pro duce pork that is oily and of poor flavor. The meat, made from feeding beans is without flavor, and hard and indigesti ble. Acorns do not make good pork. Mutter Without Churning:. It is reported that a Swedish in- ' ventor lias introduced what he terms a "radiator," which produces butter from milk without churning. It corn bines the principle of the well known separator, so far as removing the cream from the milk is concerned, but the butter is produced from the cream, the whole operation of pasteurizing the milk, separating the cream and <;on verting it into butter being done at the same time with the one machine.
