INDUSTRIAL, STATISTICAL AND
TECHNICAL.

NEARLY 1900 buildings were erected in
San Francisco IN 1915, and over 1000 in
Oakland, while the number for the entire
State of California was not less than 1000,
exclusive of bridges and quartz mills. OF
the buildings put up in San Francisco
only forty-four were brick, the others be-
ing generally Of wood.
IT has been noted and regarded as a
species OF instinct in the -4mpelopssS hede-
racea, our common Virginia Creeper, that
when the tendfils come near wall or
some other object capable of supporting
it, sucker-like discs appear on the ends.
In Anpelopsis trfcuspidata, however, the
discs appears when there is no foreign
body near. This precocity of this ana
logue of instinct in this species has not
been explained.
THE farmers in some of the districts in
Great Britain have a bitter enmity for
the rocks, estimating the damage they do
to the crops as being greater than the
benefit they confer by destroying wire
worms, grubs and other pests. A few

a rookery in Fifeshire, Scotland, de.
voting four days TO the work of tearing
down nests and killing the birds, both
old and young. The result was the death

The Omelet as it should be.

THE mind that invented the Omelet was
capable of great things. Many persons
think they have made and eaten omellts,
when they have not Anything that is
made of eggs stirred up and solidified
over the fire, is supposed to be an omelet
but it isn't. l have heard of people who
put flour in it. Flour takes fifteen or
| twenty minutes to cook, and an omelet is
made in one minute; and r2w flour is not
wholesome or appetizipg. The true ONE
let is pile of terror stricken eggs and
milk; it trembles with every jar, ana
crouches in delicious, quivering mass
upon the plate; he who puts q silver knife
into it will find a porous, tlaky material,
almost impalpable to the touch, that will
melt as quickly as a snowflake IN his
mouth. Upon reflection, he will be will
ing TO admit that hens were not made in
vain. Proceed in this way. if you wish
to make an omelet: Have some fresh eggs,
not omelet eggs. All eggs that will not
by any possibility do to boil are put away
in restaurants to make omelets with
Break them into china bowl. If they
are fresh the white will be as clear as a
maiden's eye, and the yolk as round as
the pupil of it. Add a tablespoonful of
milk for every egg, and whip the whole
as thoroughly as you would for sponge
cake. The omelet pan has previously
been put on the fire, and made SO hot that
butter will melt and almost brown in it,
but not quite. When in this condition,
you are 10 turn the whipped egg
and milk into the pan and put
it directly over the fire. Get thin
bladed knife, and run it carefully under
the bottom of the egg, so as to let that
which is not cooked get below. If the fire
is right, the whole mass will swell and
puff and cook in minute; if it is not
carefully attended to, it will burn on the
bottom, and burned egg is most offensive
in smell and taste. 1t is not necessary to
wait until the whole mass is solid, as its
own heat will cook it after it has left the
pan; but begin at one side and carefully

Too Much Seed TO the Acre.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Canada
Farmer sounds a note Of warning against
overseeing, against the idea which is
not uncommon that to SOW more than is
necessary is to supply reserve for con-
tingencies and insure a fair crop. The
idea is unQuestionably erroneous. If We
stock field with twice as many cattle as
its vegetation is capable Of sustaining,
what is theresult? Why, of course, speedy
poverty, which will soon end in starva-
ton unless the animals are removed to Il
better pasturage. Whyso? Because they
must all be fed, and there is not sufficient
on the field to feed them. Now the anal
ogy between this state of affairs and an
verseeded field is complete. Plants to
arrive at perfect maturity, must have an
adequate supply of their proper food, just
the same as animals. In both cases life
and growth must be sustained. What,
then, is the difference between over
stocking field with cattle that its herb
age cannot support, and overwhelming
the same field with a number of plants
quite dispropOrtionate to the capacity of
its soil and the moisture it is capable of
deriving from the atmosphere? None
whatever. The results must prove alike
either way-either stunted growth or utter
starvation. In the case of thick sowing,
how many OF the plants, even after they
do struggle above the service, produce
nothing, or next to nothing? Not only so,
but they serve as a persistent impeachment
to the perfect maturity OF stronger plants
around them, whose heads grow to little
more than half the length they would at
tain with plenty of room and nourish-
ment. The grain, too, in the best heads,
is not so full and plump as it ought to be,
and for the very natural reason that the
stunted growth, in other words deformitv,
OF the plant spreads itself through all its
parts. He strongly urges the expert
ment, on at least a portion Of the fields, OF
sowing one bushel of oats, one bushel of
barley, or one and fourth bushels of
peas to the aCre-about half the quantities
usually allotted. No matter how thin the
plants may appear for time, he guaran-
tees that the returns will be more favor.
able in every way than if double the
amount of seed had been sown.-N. y.

ment to brown, and turn it out on hot
plate and serve it, or what is better, eat IL
yourself Immediately. You must not put
one grain of salt in it while it is cooking,
or all your hopes and your omelet Will
tlatten down together. If it is properly
made, it will be like summer sunset,
rich with crimson and yellow hues, and
the SAVIOR will gladden. the heart. If any
one has fancy for mixing finely-minced
ham with the egg-batter, they will make
ham omelet; or for surrounding it with
stewed kidneys and smearing little of
the sauce thereof about the egg after it is
cooked, they will have a kidney omelet;
or by pouring rum over it and setting the
same on fire, they will have an "omelette
au rhum;" or by sprinkling granulatec
sugar over it, it will be an "omelette
sucre;" but all these are simply inven
tons of the enemy to see how vilely they
can ill-treat a good thing, and yet mo-
utterly ruin it.-Pen and Ploo.

of 1856 rocks. As there is no law in
the country to protect the birds, il isprcb-
able that a prosecution of such work will
soon drive them out of Great Britain.
THE present mode of constructing boil
erS meets with some severe criticism from
Mr.. Adamson, an English engineer, well
known for his Investigations and expert
ments in this direction. Mr.. AdamSon
| does not hesitate TO utterly condemn the
practice of punching holes, now so much
in vogue. All rivet-holes, he says, should
be truly cylindrical, and drilled through
with both plates ia stu, so rs to insure
| perfect accuracy in riveting. Mr.. Adam
son is also of the opinion that if boil
ers were made by engineers of recognized
skill and care. with suitable tools for
| drilling the rivet holes, and fitting the
various parts together, pressures of 100 to
$50 pounds might be used with less risk
than at present attaches to boilers car
rying only fifty pounds per square inch.
| These conclusions have been reached by
| him after many and most careful exam
nations of differently constructed boilers.
THE last report of the State Geologist
Of Alabama contains an essay on the cot
ton army-worm by y. r, Grote, who has
resided several years in that State and had
| good opportunities Of studying the habits
| of this insect. He feels convinced that it
is an imported insect, and not indigenous
to the Southern States. The appearance
of the worm is preceded by flights of the
moth, which in Central Alabama occur in
June or July. Previously he had Away 5
heard Of TIE appearance of the worm to
the southwark. Before it," he writes,
- the cotton in my vicinity had shown no
sign Of worm, and had any existed in the
country ii must have shown itself during
the preceding three months, while the
young plants were growing. In IA
vorable seasons the broods were successive
until frost and the death of the cotton

| ton the worms wandered to another, but
