PLANrs.--House plants, if kept too
long in the sun, are much injured b: he
intense heat, and are often killed by The
root-roasting to which they are sob.
jected, the surface OF the pots often be-
comingso heated that the hand can not ne
piaccd upon them without being burned.
TIN poor roots. that generally hug the
SD of the pots closely, have, indeed, a
sorry time Of it under these conditions.
The best Of them, too, are always in the
worst place; that is, on the outside Of
the pots and in closest proximity to the
hottest portion. Roses are frequently
badly injured by exposure Of the SUR
face roots to too great heat. Camellias'
azaleas, and many others, will not en-
dure heat on the sides of thin pots. Heat
At the wrong place and wrong time il
fatal to many plants, which die in spite
Of careful attention. Double potting il
an excellent way to guard against thi'
evil.

Fello,o- -Cttixens.-The Government has to

we will say, (for the sake of illustration) one

you soc that to establish gold currency YOU
are taxed sixteen hundred time. as mueb .s
ysu would be to establish paper currency
Hhen such is the case, is there any wonder
that times are bard In addition to tho tax
uooessary to improve and carry on the i'm
provements aud keep in repair, you are taxed
on one or two hundred millions living idlo in
the Treasury which ought to be paid out and
thus relieve US of SO much tax.
There ought to be but ono material uoon
which money is stamped, Ger where there a re
several, just as certain when the material or
commodity of ono of tksm rises in value
above the other materials expressed on tho
face. just so certain will it be bought nm bv
the less valuable, thus diminishing the oir-
ouiation and increasing your burdens. A
legal tender paper currency, based upon all
the property of the country, is a safer enc

is only part of the property, besides its

Why suspension Bridges are Dangerou,

Referring to the blowing down of the
Tay bridge In Scotland, Prof. Park Ben
jamin writes as follows: Apropos to
this particular accident distinguished
French engineer and iron founder. now
in this country. informs us that he has
known bars OF iron made by himself
from Scotch pig to change from tough
fibrous To "a brittle crystalline structure
in travelling by rail only from the north
ofFrance to Paris. This is, of course.
An extreme instance. Again. recent re-
search has demonstrated that because a
structure withstands large quiescent
load. that fact is little proof of stability
under repeated shocks and vibrations.
Metals are believed to have a life" A
bar, for example. may stand a million
vibrations and break down Mt the mil
lion-and-first and yet the last shock
may be lighter than preceding ones. At
tempts, however. to reduce this law TO
practical application, have elected an
abundance of conflicting evidence, but,
nevertheless. il Is well settled that in
no department of mechanics Is an ex-
tended course of actual experimenting
more urgently needed or of graver pub
lie importance. Still, against even the
above supposition, the fall of eleven
spans seems To initiate. at least in the
light of such information as Is now ut
hand, and the conviction is forced that
some other theory lies at the bottom of
the occurrence. This leads to the sug-
gestion of an hypothesis which has nj
ready been frequently urged by engi
neers who disapprove of bridges on the
suspension system-namely, that the
structure may be thrown into isochrona
vibrations by the wind. This intro
duces a nes attacking element. 1t is
well known that a very heavy sus-
pended weight may be caused to vibrate
over large arcs by a very small force. If
the impulses be properly timed. Sol
diers in crossing bridge always break
step so as to avoid causing vibrations in
the structure, and there Is well-known
old story OF some one who offered to
fiddle bridge down." his plan being
to cause the bridge TO swing in unison
with the beats of notes corresponding in
pitch with the periodic vibrations ofthe
structure. 1t Is not necessary TO null
tiply examples OF so well known a
physical fact which Is here adduced
simply TO point out that IL may not be
unreasonable to assume that the long
spans of the Tay bridge were thrown
into actual swinging vibration by the
gale itself, those of the same length
would vibrate spontaneously and the
piers might be supposed to represent
nodes or neutral points.

How Peanuts are Prepared for the
Market.

The modus operandi by which the
nuts are separated, cleaned and classed
is somewhat as follows The third
story of the building contains thousands
of bushels of peas in bags, and there the
continual roar of the machinery is deaf
ening. Each machine has "A duty to per-
form. First, there is large cylinder in
which all the nuts are placed, in order
that the dust and dirt may be shaken off
of them. They pass from this cylinder
into the brushes, where every nut re-
ceives fifteen feet of brushing before it
becomes free. Then they pass through
n sluice- way to the floor below where
they are dropped on an endless belt,
about two and half feet in width, and
passing along mt the rate OF four miles
an hour. On each side of the belt stand
eight colored girls, and as the nuts fal!
from the sluice on the belt the girls,
with a quick motion of the hand, pick
out all the poor looking nuts, and by the
time the belt reaches the end two-thirds
of the nuts are picked off, allowing only
the finest to pass the crucible. Those
that do pass drop through another sluice
and empty into the bags on the floor be-
low. When the bag is filled il is taken
away by hand, sewed up and branded
as cocks" with the figure of rooster
prominent on its sides. The peas caught
up by the girls are thrown TO one side,
placed in bags and carried into another
room. where they are again picked over,
the best singled out, bagged and bI anded
as "ships." These are as fine nut rs
the first for eating, but in shape and
color do not compare with the cocks" !"
Having gone over them twice. we now
come to third grade. which are called
and brandad as cages" These are
picked out OF the cuttings of the cocks"
and "ships," but now and then you will
find n respectable-looking nut among
| them; though the eyes of the colored
damsels are as keen rs n hawk, and a
bad nut Is rarely allowed TO pass their
hands. The cuttings that are left from
the eagles" are bagged. sent through
the elevator to the top story. and what
| little meat is in them is shaken out by a
patent shelter. which is not only novel.
but rs perfect n piece of machinery as
was ever invented. The nuts being
shelled by this new process. the meat
drops in bags below free from dust or
dirt of any kind, and are then shipped in
two hundred-pound sacks To the North,
where they are bought up by the con-
fectioners for the purpose OF making
taffy or peanut candy. 1t may be here
stated that peculiar kind of oil is ex-
tracted from the meat of the nut. and in
