CEREAL FOOD MAKING.
Fookrd firnlnn Are Sfpnrnlfd, Pa«.ed
Between Holler* and Flat
tened Into Finite*.
The superintendent of a mucTi-ad
vertised breakfast food recently stated
that he ate a pound of his product
every dr .
"You see, our brand is a new one,"
he explained to a friend. "I want to
6ee that, every package is up to the top
standard before it leaves the factory;
so I taste a lot of the stuff to see if the
men are making it correctly."
According to this superintendent,
cereal breakfast foods do not require
very much complicated machinery.
The first process is to wash the
grains of the cereal out of which the
thin flakes are to be made. Then it is
steamed for several hours in big cal
drons, the bottoms of which have holes
in them like a sieve.
The next step is to transfer the
cooked grains from the vessels to a
series of flat, perforated sifters, and
the mushy mixture of grains is forced
through in such a way that different
grains are separated and stand out dis
tinctly from one another.
At this stage the grains are passed
between great metal rollers, which flat
ten them into flakes.
These flakes, still containing consid
erable moisture, are finally dried on
■wire netting by means of hot air.
Then, last of all, they are packed
Into their pasteboard boxes, ready for
shipment by the case of twenty-four
boxes.
"That's all there Is to It," said the
superintendent.
"In my factory we are Just making
a start, but we'll Increase the size of
the plant before long. You have no
Idea how easy it is to boom a new
breakfast food.
"To tell the truth, about the largest
expense item on our books each month
Is the price of fancy advertising cards
and other announcements.

SWIMMING MADE EASY.
AppnrntiiN Invented by ChirriKo Man
Make* I *e of Utcycle Pedal*
and Screw Propeller.
The majority of bathers find more
pleasure in paddling leisurely about
and sporting in the surf than in exert
ing themselves to the extent necessary
to acquire any speed in the water, but
to the athlete this is rather tame, and
only muscular exertion affords satisfac
tion. Were it not for the training neces
sary to become rapid swimmers no
doubt more people would enjoy the ex
hilarating sensation of propelling
themselves rapidly through the water
by the aid of the hands and feet. The
physical training is made unnecessary,

however, by the machine which has
Just been invented by a Chicago man,
and which we have illustrated in the
picture. It is nothing more nor less
than a screw propeller, attached to the
man instead of to a boat, and the man
who is a good bicycle rider should soon
become proficient in the use of thl«
swimming apparatus, as the movement
of the feet is exactly similar to that re
quired to drive the wheel on land.
Probably the only difficulty the begin
ner would have with this machine would
be in maintaining the body in the cor
rect position to obtain the best results
with the propeller, but with a little
practice the hands are soon taught to
poise the body at the proper angle and
guide the swimmer through the water.
It is unnecessary for the hands to aid
In the propulsion, as the screw will fur
nish sufficient power for the work.—Chi

Electrlo I.lKhtn anil l)tiat.
The tendency of dust to collect on elec
tric light fittings and wires and on
walls and ceilings near them is ascribed
partly to the influence of air-currents In
duced by local heating and partly to
electrification of the dust particles.
These, when floating in a room, are at
tracted to the electric conductors on the
non-earthed side of an earthed system.
They either remain upon the conductors,
or, becoming charged, fly off and stick
to the neighboring walls. By putting
the switches in the non-earthed wire,
this deposition of dust can he confined to
the time during which the lamps are
alight. Further improvement, accord
ing to Mr. D. S. Monro, can be effected
by using concentric flexible conductors,
the outer conductor being connected to
the earthed side of the system.
MOTOR FOR BICYCLES.
Its Inventor* Claim Thnt It Can Bt
Attached Readily to Anjr
Standard Frame.
The large majority or those Whc a few
years ago took up cycling as an amuse
ment have been unable to replace tha
bicycle with the automobile, now that
the latter has made Its appearance, and
have had to be content to Btick to the
wheel, or find some other form of pas
time to afford exercise and occupy their
spairf moments. As a slightly cheaper
vehicle than the regular horseless car
riage, the motor bicycle has been in
troduced, and a number of these ma
chines may be seen every day in popu
lated districts, but heretofore no pro
vision has been made for attaching a
motor to the old bicycle, and it has been
necessary to provide an entirely new
MOTOR ATTACHMENT.
frame to carry the engine which pro
pels the cycle. The usual method of
mounting the motor for running the two
wheeled machine is to place it in a cir
cular frame in the position occupied by
the crank shaft in the regular bicycle.
However, this is made unnecessary by
the invention which we illustrate, which
makes possible the use of the old ma
chine with motor attachment. We would
suggest, nevertheless, that the rear
wheel be replaced by one of slightly
stronger build, as the increased weight
and the force of the motor will soon ex
pose any weakness which may exist
in spokes or rim. As tile motor is
shown, there is little, if any. added
strain placed on the tubular frame, which
is a strong point in its favor, when the
attachment to old bicycles is consid
ered. The driving hub should be pro
vided with a coaster brake, and a second
sprocket wheel is necessary to connect
■with the motor, while thegasoline reser
voir and electric outfit can be arranged
as usual on motor cycles.—Louisville
Courier-Journal.
VITALITY OF SEEDS.
L'nder IlenMnnnhly Favorable Condi
tion* It Im Preserved for In
definite I*eriod«.
Not to speak of the doubtful intsances
of seeds taken from the pyramids hav
ing germinated, melons have been
known to grow at the age of 40 years,
kidnet- beans at 100, sensitive plant at
60 and rye at 40. And there are now
living in the garden of the Horticultural
society raspberry plants raised from
seeds 1,000 or 1,700 years old. The seeds
of charlock buried in former ages spring
up in railway cuttings; where ancient
forests are destroyed, plants appear
which have never been seen before, but
whose seeds have been buried in the
ground; when some land was recovered
from the Baltic sea, a carex was found
upon it, now unknown in that part of
Europe. M. Fries, of Upsala, succeeded
in growing a species of hieracium from
seeds which had been in his herbarium
upward of 50 years. Desmoulins has
recorded an instance of the opening of
ancient tombs, in which seeds were
found, and on being planted they pro
duced species of scabiosa and helio
tropium. And many more such cases
are on record, establishing conclusive
ly that under favorable conditions the
vitality of seeds is preserved for In
definite periods.
It seems as if seeds remain dormant
so long as the proportion of carbon pe
culiar to them is undiminished; water
is decomposed by their vital force; and
it is believed that its oxygen, combin
ing with the carbon, forms carbonic
acid, which is given off. The effect of
access of water is, therefore, to rob
seeds of their carbon; and the eiTect of
destroying their carbon is to deprive
them of the principal means which they
possess of preserving their vitality.
... Be this as it may, it is incon
testable that as soon as seeds begin to i
germinate their vitality is exhausted,
and they perish, unless the seed is in
a condition to continue its growth by
obtaning sufficient food from surround
ing media.—From Linley's Theory and
Practice of Horticulture.
llow Water la Colored.
The usual color of water—greenish yel- i
low to reddi«"tt brown—is now known to
tie due to oissorved substances from
decaying vegetation, but particles in
suspension—usually mineral and often
containing iron—may be a cause of ii *
color. The depth of tint is estimated by
comparison with a mixture of platinum
and cobalt, states Dr. A. E. Bostwick,
the unit being rhe color given to 1,000,000 i
parts of water by one part of platinum.
As a rule, water near steep rocks, with
few trees, shows less than 20 units of
color; near steep wooded or cultivated
slopes, 20 to 50 units; near similar, but
gentler slopes, 5 to 100; and in swamps,
100 to 500, or even more. In the United
States, northern wat?rs are more highly
colored thaA southern. Filtering does
not remove the color, and. as brownish
water—though rarely harmful—ls ob- 1
Jected to for drinking, the coloring mat- I
ter is often removed by chemical means,
as by coagulating with sulphate of alum- |
tnum.

If the foal is worth raising at all,
It is worth raising well, and If not
fed and cared for properly, will be a
disgrace to its sire and a source of
loss to the owner, says the IJve Stock
Journal. The mare should be fed well
enough to allow her to supply the
foal with abundant, rich, nutritious
milk. Her l'ood should be rich in ni
trogenous ingredients, for thes-> are
most required for frame building. She
should be allowed to suckle her foal
often, if she is worked, and never
when she is tired and sweaty. It does
not pay to allow the foal to rap with
the mare at plow or on way to town.
Milk is taken often in this way, but
not in suitable condition for the foal,
and, besides this, the foal is getting
too much fatiguing wcrk in following
its dam. Work the mare lightly, if
at all. Before it is too late putin a
, strip of fodder corn alongside of the
pasture. Let it be, say, ten rods wide
and plant the corn ttrickly with seeder,
having some of the sprouts shut ofT.
Plant several times, with a few days
between the seedings. Use this green
; corn fodder for the mares to help out
; the pastures and feed the mares in ad
dition generously upon oats, bran and
cut hay. Wet this food with molasses
water, if you want lots of milk, and
can keep flies out of the stable. Jus\
as early as possible let foals lenrn to

j is to be put on by feeding the mares,

HER GREAT FORTUNE.
A Woman Saved From Life-Long
Misery and Made Happy
and Useful.
A woman confined to the house for
several years with a chronic female
derangement had finally given up hope*
of being cured.
She had tried physician after physi
cian, and remedy after remedy, without
any permanent improvement.
Her treatment had co.st her husband
who was a poor man, hundreds of dol
lars. They had been obliged to deny
themselves many comforts of life in
order to get money enough to pay tho
physicians.
The woman had become weak, nervous
and wretched, and scarcely able to keep
out of her bed. Her children wero
growing up neglected and ragged, be
cause of the want of a mother's care.
Her husband was becoming discouraged
and broken down with overwork.
Picking up the paper one day she hap
pened to read an item which contained
the news that Dr. Hartman would treat
such cases free of charge by letter. She
immediately wrote the doctor describing
her case, and giving him all her symp
toms.
She scon received a letter telling her
exactly what to do, and what medicines
and appliances to get. She began tho
treatment (the principal remedy being
Peruna) at once, and in a few weeks she
was well and strong again, able to do
her own work.
This offer of free home treatment to
women is still open to all who may neecJ
the services of this eminent physician.
All letters applying for treatment will
be promptly answered, and be held
strictly confidential.
Miss Annie Hoban, Post Pocahontas
of Yemassee Council of Red Men
(Women's Branch), writes from 872
Eighth Ave., New York:
"Three months ago I was troubled 1
with backache and a troublesome heavi
ness about the stomach. Sleep brought
me no rest for it was a restless sleep<
The doctor said my nervous system,
was out of order, but his prescriptions
didn't seem to relieve me. I was told!
that Peruna was good for building ut
the nervous system. After using it foi
two months I know now that it is. 1
want to say that it made a new woman
of me. The torturing symptoms have*
all disappeared and I feel myself again.
Peruna did me more good than all the
other medicines I have taken."
ANNIE HOBAN.
Miss Mamie Powell, Lake
Louisiana, writes:
"I sincerely believe that Peruna id
woman's best friend, for it has certainly*
I been that to me. I had had headaches,
backaches and other aches every month
for a long time, but shortly after I be
gan taking Peruna this was a thing of
the past, and I have good reason to bo
grateful. I take a bottle every spring
and fall now. and that keeps my health
1 perfect, and I certainly am more robust
now than I have been before and am
weighing more. I do not think any
one will be disappointed in the results
obtained from the use of Peruna."
