Dr. Calvello, an Italian, has discov-
ered that mine per cent. of essence of
thyme and eighteen per cent. of es-
sence of geranium make an excellent
disinfectant, when freely used, for thé
hands of medical operators. As these
essences enter largely into the composi-
tion of eau de Cologne, it follows that
this scent is a good antiseptic for or-
dinary purposes.
In his experiments with various vehi-
cles, M. Michelin has found that iron
tires require greater motive power than
either solid rubber or pneumatic. An
electric automobile running with five
per cent. greater speed with pneumatic
tires took eighteen per cent. less power
than when fitted with solid tires; and
in stopping, the solid tires required an
increase of fourteen per cent. in brake
ing power.
For shallow-draught steamers, both
side-wheels and stern- wheels have dis-
advantages, especially in the weight of
their machinery, while propellers—as
they have been used in fixed tunnels—
lose efficiency through increased fric-
tion as loading sinks the tunnel’s open-
ing. In a new English propeller boat
for shallow rivers, the stern end of
the tunnel is made adjustable by a
hinged flap. Raising or lowering the
flap keeps the opening just below the
surface, and it is claimed that with a
moderate load the gain is twenty-five
per cent.
The search for a welding process for
aluminium still goes on, in spite of the
claim of several investigators that they
have discovered a practical solution of
the problem. One of the latest claims
is that of Mary W. Emme, of New
York City, who has discovered that the
result may be attained by heating the
two contacting ends of aluminium un-
der suitable condition approximately to
or above a temperature of 600 degrees
Centigrade. To carry out the process
successfully the parts must be scrupu-
lously cleansed before heating them to
the welding point, and it is stated that
the result is a mass possessing the
same physical qualities of a piece of
aluminium which has never been sub-
jected to separation.
The London School of Tropical Medi-
cine has discovered a news parasite
‘which is the cause of a tropical fever
fvhich resembles malaria, but which
does not yield to the same treatment,
and is generally fatal in its results.
The new creature dees not inhabit the
corpuscles like the malaria parasite,
but is free in the blood current, like the
filariae, which is the cause of elephan-
tiasis; and it is either identical with or
closely resembles the parasite commun-
municated to certain animals by the
It is described as a tricho-
soma. Its discovery is too recent to
admit of more than a bare mention,
but it undoubtedly opens out a pros-
pect of cure in a class of cases which
have hitherto proved almost absolutely
intractable, and once ‘more demon-
strates the wisdom of establishing
such a school of medical research.
The promises of economy gains from
burning pulverized coal have for years
led to persistently recurring experi-
ments and each new venture in the
field has been heralded with claims
of final success. After all, however,
experience in every instance seems to
have ultimately demonstrated that it
is difficult to obtain combustion of such
fuel with as small an amount of air
per pound of fuel as can be obtained
in the best practice with coal fired on
an ordinary grate, and this has always
tended to make the economy lower
than with the usual method. Besides
this, the power required to operate the
coal pulverizer and feeder has counted
against the efficiency of the plant as a
whole, and there is generally some dif-
ficulty from the collection of ashes and
unconsumed particles of coal in the
back connections of the boilers. Judg-
ing from all the available data, these
drawbacks still remain to be overcome,
The Hoodoo at Work.
The conductor of an elevator in a big
down-town office building appeared
nervous a few days ago. “I've half a
mind to ask the superintendent to let
me off for the remainder of the day,”
he remarked. “Why? Because there's
evidently a hoodoo of some sort at
work, and I feel almost sure that an
accident is going to happen to me or to
this car. I tell you, the feeling is a
mighty uncomfortable one. What has
caused me to worry? Well, sixteen
people, by actual count, have told me
this morning that last night they
dreamed about this elevator. Now,
you must admit that that’s something
more than a strange coincidence.
“I guess I'll feel better tomorrow if I
rest to-day,” added the elevator man,
‘as he carefully started the car down-
ward and toward the basement where
the superintendent of the building has
his headquarters.— Washington Star.

Tailors’ Resourcefalness.
If men knew the many artifices the
tailor has to resort to in order to make
them presentable they would be less
ready to make him the butt of ridicule.
Truly the tailor has need of padding
and wadding, haircloth and canvas, to
enable him to clothe his customers in
such a way as to hide their deformi-
ties, and bring into prominence their
BENEFITS OF AN APPLE HOUSE.
No one can understand the benefits
to be derived from an apple house
unless he has one. It is very conveni-
ent to place the fruit in, and you are
not compelled to sell the fruit right
away when prices may be low. Keep
them a month or so and you may near-
ly double your money. You can keep
until April apples that are usually
placed on the market say the fore part
of January.—The Cultivator. _
CHANGING GARDEN LOCATION.
It may be an advantage to change
the garden lecation every two years
and sow clover on the plot. The reason
is that as the garden soil is subject to
leaching, like other portions of the
farm, the clover roots go down and
bring the fertilizing ingredients to the
surface.
rich by extra applications of manure,
a change of location enriches a differ-
ent plot every year or two, while the
close cultivation destroys the weeds.
TREATMENT OF HOUSE PLANTS.
House plants require constant care
at this season, especially when there
are so many changes of weather, as
they must be guarded against sudden
alterations in the moisture of the room
and the rise and fall in temperature.
On cloudy and windy days the loca-
tion in the room should be selected
with the view of protecting against
the winds. Tepid water should be
used and the earth in the pots should
not be saturated, as too much water is
as injurious as too little.
MANURE FOR THE ORCHARD.
There are not many farmers who
would be willing to spread forty or
fifty loads of stable manure over the
apple orchard; yet if they would do so
they would find out that apples are
profitable, as the manure would In-
crease the yield, improve the quality
and make them more salable in the
market. If the manure is not obtain-
able a fertilizer consisting of 400
pounds of bone meal, 300 pounds sul-
phate of potash and 100 pounds of ni-
trate of soda will not be too large an
application for one acre.
PRUNING TREES IN THE SPRING.
There are two most important things
to be kept in mind by the fruit raiser—
pruning and mulching. If those two
duties are well performed success is
nearly always certain. If well mulched,
the fertilizing material is thus supplied
by filtration from the mulching down
to the feeding roots, which is the very
best self-regulating method of fertiliz-
ing. By allowing this mulching to re-
main in winter and early spring the
roots are kept moist and vegetation
prevented from springing up around
bushes, or a heavy sod from forming.
« TO FELL A LEANING TREE.
‘A is the undercut. Begin on the op-
posite side and when the saw is buried
corner it, as shown in the cut, first on
one side and then on*the other, and
keep it V-shape until the tree falls.
Tall, heavy timber is felled in this
way and it saves many splits. Farm-
ers know that it saves time and trouble
to ‘clear land in the right manner.—J.
S. Truitt, in The Epitomist.
TENDING A YOUNG ORCHARD.
In some localities where the soil is
too poor to raise these crops with
profit, it may be the most economical
in cultivation to use a disk harrow.
Where field crops can be grown it is
best to plant only such crops as can
be cultivated, except the cowpea, which
may be drilled in and harvested with-
out cultivation.
To sow oats, wheat or other small
grain in a young orchard and let the
same grow to maturity and harvest
thé same is to invite disaster to your
trees. They may not “surely die,” but
you will in nine cases out of ten.have
cause to regret your action. . You have
seen the effect on young clover of the
removal of the grain in midsummer,
and you may be sure the effect is the
same in a modified degree on the young
tree. Xeep the weeds away from
around the trees by pulling or with
the hoe, but leave the soil loose on the
top and do not scrape the loose soil
off, as I have often seen done, leaving
a hard surface to dry out what mois-
ture there may be.
Cultivation should begin in the spring
and continue as late into the summer
as the planted crop will permit. It
vill be best, where the crop is not cross
plowed, to leave a space of four feet
on each side of the row of trees for
the later cultivation of the tree row
with a five-tooth or other one-horse
cultivator. The cultivation should
then be kept up until August 1.
I am an advocate of moderate prun-
ing of the tree, and after shaping the
tree as I would have it at planting, 1
would remove only such branches af-
terward as interfere or that should be
removed for other good cause. If
some branches grow unduly they may
be clipped off to keep the tree sym-
metrical. —Address of Senator M. Dun-
lap, of Illinois.

Thomas J. Minnick, an KEnglish

was told he had a tumor in his brain
and was imagining ill treatment. He
would feel better as soon as the
tumor was cut out. When finally the

him, Thomas disclosed his identity.
But the doctors would not let him off.
They sent him under guard to the po-

NO NOON HOUR.
The Passing of This Brief Rest
Period in Busy New York.
“There is no noon hour in the low-
er part of Manhattan,” New York,
said an old restaurant man, who has
supplied luncheon for business men
and clerks for over a score of years.
“We used to do seven-eighths of our
businesg between ncon and 1 o'clock,
but now the luncheon hour extends
from 11 to after 3—to after 4 in the
Wall street section. I can remember
well when in all offices and business
houses work ceased at the stroke of
12. and was resumed at 1 o'clock
sharp. Now the noon hour is ob-
served only in shops and factories.
In offices and commercial houses
work goes on continuously under the
present day pressure of business,
and the clerks and other employes
go out for luncheon in relays, begin-
ning as early as 11 o'clock, and with
this change has come a shortening of
the luncheon hour in most cases tc
three-quarters of an hour—sometimes
to half an hour. The chiefs and em-
ployers, as a rule, eat late—most of
them about 2 o'clock, and down if
Wall street the brokers seldom get
luncheon until after the exchanges
close.”
Strongest Jail on Earth.
. Graham county jail, at Clifton,
Ariz., is unique. It comprises four
large apartments hewn from the solid
quartz rock of a hillside. The en-
trance is through a box-like vestibule
built of heavy masonry and equipped
with three sets of steel gates. The
floor of the rock-bound jail is of ce-
ment, and the prisoners are confined
exclusively in the larger rooms.
Some of the most desperate crim-
inals on the Southwest border have
been confined in the Clifton jail, and
so solid and heavy are the barriers
to escape that no one there has ever
attempted a break for freedom.
The notorious Black Jack was there
for months. The wall of quartz about
the jail is 15 feet thick. Clifton is
one cof the (great copper mining
camps in Arizona, and has the rep-
utation of being as depraved a com-
munity as yet exists on the frontier
of civilization. In summer the mer-
cury there frequently rises to 120 in
the shade, and in the winter never
goes helow 40 degrees.
Built Thousand Years Ago.
Captain Francis Tuttle, of the rev-
enue cutter Bear, during her recent
trip in the Arctic seas, found a house
built by human beings probably
thousands of years ago. It was par-
tially embedded in a cliff fronting on
the ocean, 15 miles southeast of
Point Barrow. The cliff rose sheer
70 feet above the ocean. Forty feet
above tidewater and 30 feet from the
top of the cliff one end of the house
was exposed. The ribs of an enor
mous whale were used for a frame-
work, and over these skins Had evi-
dently been stretched.

WOMAN’S RIGHTS IN RUSSIA.
Hotel Planned for
Women’s Health.
The latest development of the
woman’s rights question in Russia
has taken the form of a novel pro-
posal planned by the “Society for the
Care of Women’s Health.” It is pro-
rosed to build a kind of a hotel where
only women may live, and of which
the shareholders are to be exclusive-
ly women. Shares in the company
will be subscribed for in the form of
rent for rooms, and at the end of ten
years. by which time the shares will
be fully paid up, tenants will be al-
lowed to subject their apartments on
condition that the new tenant is al-
so a woman. The building will be
designed by a woman architect, and
only women servants will be allowed
to he employed there. The rules of
the establishment with regard to the
exclusion of men will be strict, re-
minding one, indeed, of the cloister
regulations of the Middle Ages. The
building is to be commenced in the
spring.
Novel Care of
A New Gold Field.
Fish, gold and whales abound along
that portion of the North Siberian
coast westward of Behring straits.
Wonwerful stories are coming from
that section concerning the abund-
ance of each. If all these stories are
true there will be a rush of gold
seekers and whale seekers. The
Russian government has already
farmed out the control of gold terri
tory to prospecting companies, and
they are hard at work. That govern-
rmaent prohibits anyone else but Rus-
siars from catching salmon. There
are no labor laws to restrict Chinese
laber, and large numbers of coolies
are being hurried there to freeze and
work for their living.

Destiny of Canada,
Canadians have organized a Prefer-
ence League, with the motto, ‘“Can-
ada,” the members pledging them-
selves to buy Canadian products and
manufactures “when the quality is
equal to, and the cost not in excess
of, foreign articles.” Unfortunately,
these conditions seldom, if ever, oc-
cur. The manifest destiny of Canada
is to become part of the United States,
so as to offset our acquisitions in
the Southwest. The sooner the fact
is recogrized and the nobler motto,
“All America for Americans,” adopt-
ed, the better for both countries.
