Magnetism has been applied (n an in- genious way to the automatic holding pf electric lamps In any desired posi- tion, The holder of the lamp, which is thoroughly magnetized, will adhere to any plece of iron or steel at any angle, 80 that by its use iron workers can se- cure light at any part of their work without the inconvenience attendant on the use of a torch. As the light can be made to shine exactly where it is wanted, the magnetic holder is of the greatest service when the workman is employing the lathe, planer, drill and other tools. Its use in boiler shops is doing away with torches, ag it can be carried inside the boller., For many classes of work, especially the making of locomotives, it is highly recommend- ed, not the least of its advantages be- ing that it frequently enables an as- sistant to be dispensed with. mmc seoreiiosmea A Chance to Make Money.

Although the lizard in { question Is sald to be the oldest exist- "| Ing type of reptile up to the present time, little has been known of its life history, as it is very rare and shy and retiring in its habits, The tua- tara lizard was grst mentioned in a diary kept by Mr. Anderson, the com- panion of Capt, Cook, but the first really detalled account of the reptile was given by Dieffenbach in 1843, when he sald: “I had been apprised of the existence of a large lizard, which the natives call tuatara, or na- rara, and of which they are much afraid.” Owing to the rarity of the tuatara lizard the New Zealand gov- ernment passed an act to prohibit the taking or slaying of the reptile, but, as usual, forgot one of the most important namely, the insertion of a clause for- bidding the collection of eggs. For- tunately for the tuatara, however, P. Henaghan the principal keeper on Stephens’ island appears at present to be the only man who knows where to look for them although it is stated that two German collectors have been lately making vigorous but vain ef- forts to obtain specimens of the eggs.

Wherever stock is watered from troughs in cold weather, there should be a plug fixed at the lower end of the trough, so that with its removal all the water can be drawn night. It is far better, the ice will remain frozen all winter, formed over night at the watering places, a deep pond is kept warmer by the surface under the ice several degrees below freezing. If the watering trough is allowed to fill with ice, it will keep perature, A running brook where the ice may not freeze at all has water much colder than it is under the ice in a pond.

SEEDING GRASS LANDS, There is much difference of opinion best time for seeding grass lands, and us to the advisibility of seeding the as rye, wheat The use of a '“ nurse” crop in which the grass is to grow the first season is highly recommended by many. The drawback in seeding in connection with grain lies in the fact that the grain occupies the ground to the dis. advantage of the grass until the grain crop is harvested, and in many cases severe droughs, following close after the harvesting of the grain, will de- stroy the young, tender grass shoots, i sure to be killed on such spota, gether. It is not uncommon to find grass mixtares advertised which con tain species which vary in time of blossoming from early in June to near the middle of July. In attempting ta grow mixtures of this kind, some varitiea are sure to be harvested when in a tough woody condition. At the same time it is wise to grow a variety of grasses, and it is possible to pre. pare mixtures of kinds that will bloom within a short period of each other, Such grasses as Kentucky blue grass, orchard grass and tall meadow oat ass, all come into bloom between une 5 and 15, and these grasses will make a good mixture for ear!
