A Feathered Bandit.

John Burroughs, in Scribner for Janu-
ary, calls the shrike "bird with the
mark Of Cain upon him" He says
" But let me change the strain and con-
template for few moments this feathered
bandit-this bird with the mark of Cain
upon him. CoNyris borealis), the great
shrike or butcher-bird. Usually, the
character of bird of prey is well de-
fined; there is no mistaking him. His
claws, his beak, his head, his wings, in
fact his whole build point to that he
subsists upon live creatures heis armed
to catch them and to slay them. Every
bird knows hawk and knows him from
the start, and is on the lookout for him.
The hawk takes life, but he does it to
maintain his own, and it is public and
universally known fact. Nature has
sent him abroad in that character, and
has advised all creatures of it. Not so
with the shrike; here she has concealed
the character of murderer under form
as innocent as that of robin. Feet,
wings, tails, color, head and general form
and size are all those Of a song bird
very much, indeed, like that master
songster, the mocking-bird-yet this bird
is a regular Bluebeard among it's kind.
Its only characteristic feature is its beak,
the upper mandible having two sharp
processes and sharp, hooked point. It
cannot fly away to any distance with the
bird it kills, nor hold 1t in its claws to
feed upon it. 1t usually impales its vic
tim upon thorn or thrusts it in the fork
ofa ji@b. For the most part, however,
its food seems to consist of insects
spiders, grasshoppers, beetles, etc. It is
the assassin of the small birds, whom it
often destroys in pure wontonness, or
merely to sup On their brains, as the
Gaucho slaughters wild cow or bull for
its tongue. It is wolf in sleeps cloth
ing. Apparently it's victims are unac-
quanited with it's true character, and
allow it to approach them, when the
fatal blow is given.

The Coming Light.

In respect to providing artificial light
the advances made within very briet
period are enormous. From week to
week new successes with the electric
light are recorded; hundreds of in
Ventlve minds are set at work upon the
problem; simply TO keep tally of the
improvements, as they are announced, is
becoming difficult.
Not many weeks ago the "electric
candle" capped what was then the
climax of these inventions. 1t was
shortly followed by the discovery of a
means of dividing the light into smaller
and numerous portions, the equivalent,
tor ordinary use, of separate gas burners.
If the light can thus be wholly SUBJ
divided, and the small burners do their
work we'll, the problem must be nearly
solved; at all events, long stride has
been made in the right direction. One
OF the very latest Improvements consists
in arranging electric candles in series
on chandelier, so connected that lust
before one of them is burnt out another
is lighted automatically, and thus the il
Elimination is continuous. Hitherto the
services of an attendant were required to
replace the carbons, perhaps every three
hours.
The most surprising thing about the
electric light is its cheapness in proper
tlon to the amount of illumination.
The figures given by correspondent of
the London Globe, who is evidently an
expert, seem almost incredible. He says
that the cost, including the running of
a special steam engine, with the labor of
a stoker, is only tenpence sterling per
hour fer light equal to $50 gas burners
that this light could be sub.
divided without additional expense, the
result would be equal to q supply of
ordinary street gas at liz cents per
thousand feet-less than ne.twentieth
OF what our citizens are now paying for
light. If these atmosphere figures are at
all near the truth, the days Of street gas
are numbered. With margin of 1900 |
per cent. profit to work upon, there
should be no trouble in overcoming OBJ
structive details. But even if we brush
aside such estimates-which, in truth,
seem vision-and suppose the cost equal
to that of gas, the electric light would
De preferable because it is cleanly, can
lot vitiate the air, and does away with
'he dangers of escaping gas. In Paris,
wherever that light has been substituted,
he rates of insurance are reduced.-N

Conversion of Wheat.

Ofall the processes of milling, that which
can produce the greatest quantity of flour
ina given timeis without doubt the Ameri-
can system, which allows of grinding
36, 40, and even so hectolitres of wheat
(about 102, 1l5 and 140 bushels respec-
tively) in twenty-four hours on single
pair of millstones, as is proved by tests
which have been made in the royal
marine mills of England. On the other
hand, in the French system of milling,
one can only grind from 20 to % hec.
toliters of wheat (57 to 81 bushels) in
twenty-four hours on pair of burrs one
meter and thirty centimeters in diameter
(51.1S inches), revolving at speed OF
from 115 to 120 revolutions per minute.
But we must not forget to take into con-
sideration that the -four obtained by
this last system is much better and much
finer than that made by the American
process.
The following points constitute the
advantages of the French method: First,
the reduction of the wheat into -four
while keeping the mil(stones at such a
distance from each other that no con-
siderable degree ofheat is ever generated,
and preventing the flour from contracting
the disagreeable odor which burrs give
forth when run at high rate of speed,
or taste analogous to this disagreeable
smell. Second, the regrinding of mid
dlings and the sitting of them by means
of shaking bolts clothed with silk cloth,
always give the possibility of extracting
all the berry without any intermixture
Of particles Of bran. This is an advantage
which is not possessed by the American
system, the adoption of which renders
indispensable the use of bolts covered
with metal cloth, in which are brushes
that revolve at great velocity, on
account of the difficulty of causing to
pass over the meshes of the cloth the
light particles of bran rubbed off by fric.
tion, and which discolor the -four and
injure it's quality.-American Miller.

Planting Usage Orange.

There are 80 many contingencies and
risks to run in raising plants from the
seed that it is generally advisable to
purchase good, healthy, vigorous plants
from some reliable nurseryman. A
years time is gained by this method.
The Usage plant is subject to the depre-
dations of numerous enemies, and it is
therefore better to grow them in a nur-
sery and transplant to the hedge-row at
one year old than to undertake to grow
hedge by planting in the row where the
fence is to stand.
Those who desire to grow their own
plants should first of all be careful to
obtain good seed. Seed over one year
old should be ediscarded. Before planting
it should be soaked in running water for
about three or four weeks, or in warm
water, changed daily, two weeks. It is
not necessary that the seed should be
sprouted before planting. When it cas-
been soaked as indicated no other pre-
paration is necessary than to dry it
sufficiently to drop.
In this connection it is not amiss to
add word or two in regard to the pre-
paration of the ground for hedge.row.
The plan pursued by experienced hedge-
growers is to plow out the hedge row in
the fall, and finish with dead furrow.
where the plants are set. In the spring
back-iurrow the ground, alightly ridging
the ground at the middle of the row.
and then run harrow over it two or
three times. On wet or spongy land,
however, the ground should be back
furrowed in the fall, and each time the
land sploWed, 30 that it will ridge up
the bed where the plants are to be stand.
This will prevent the plants from 6 heay-
ing or being aspewed out 2 las it is
generally termed by the frost the FIRST
winter after they are set out.
The best tim to plant is Just before
