Captain Farrow, of IslesbOro, tells good
story of himself which occurred few years
ago while he was trading at Key West. 1t
was case where Northern Yankee was
outwitted by a Southerner. The Captain
was trading in small vessel, and had been
up the coast to Tampa Bay, where he pur-
chased twenty dozen chickens, paying $4
per dozen. The chickens ran all the way in
size from few days old to full-grown ones.
At Key West hotel landlord came along
side and asked the Captain how he sold his
chickens. The Captain replied: eIf you
pick them out shall charge you Sc per
dozen; you let me pick them out you can
have them So per DOZEN, "All right" said
the hotel man, "you pick them out" The
Captain selected several dozen of the small
est when the man said: go ahead, I want
more" The Captain was now among his
largest fowls, and wished the man
would stop, but he still said: aGo on" The
Captain saw the point at last. The man
kept him selecting until he purchased the
entire lot at loss of $40 to the owner. Af-
ter this the Ca tain sold his chickens on q
different plan.

American Artisans.

A writer in Chambers Journal, speaking of
American workmen, says: What | have
said of the building trade applies to all
others Indeed, the higher dexterity, taste
aud skill business requires, the more does
the American workman respond to the de-
mand The Elasticity of type to which |
have referred is nowhere seen so plainly as
in the domain of useful arts. Germans and
Frenchmen have given finish to American
manufactures that is wanting in our own.
Besides there is a native neatness, the result
of high ideal of excellence. This matter
deserves the serious attention OF British
manufacturers, who are losing many markets
simply from the clumsiness OF their goods.
There is rising in the United States race OF
artists, designers and artificers, who promise
to surpass those of all other nations. The
fervor of the climate develops the es-
thetic side of man, the clash OF millions OF
eager. inventive minds is producing stand
ard of excellence that is both novel and ex-
allied the possibilities of wealth are vastly
beyond those of any European State, and the
love of the elegant and beautiful pervades
all classes. The inevitable sequence of
these conditions must be widespread, all
dominating art 1t is seen IN the gorgeous
public buildings, in the exquisite villas, in
the light yet strong furniture, in the beautl-
full appointments of drawing rooms and table
eouipages: while every American lady, yea,
though black, is living evidence OF an innate
taste in dress that makes the English suffer
bv contrast Into every avenue OF life this
Characteristic of taste goes, modifying man
ners and behavior as much as architecture,
furniture, dress, ornaments and tools.

Quinine and QuInidine Bark.

1t is now reported that bark containing
quinine and quinidine, and currently known
as as Cuprea cinchona, imported from Col
umbia, has recently had a sale in England
comparable to the entire amount OF the i'm
portation of chinchOna bark from all other
countries. The affinities of the tree which
produces it, hitherto unknown, have been
traced out by M. Triana, who has found that
the bark is chiefly derived from two species
of Remijia, genus of which no species was
previously known to contain quinine. The
tree is likely to prove valuable for cnltiva-
ton in countries where malarial fevers
abound. 1t grows at an elevation of from
600 to 1890 feet above the sea, where even
red chinchona will not flourish. oa

4 Rainfall Recorder.
lEngineering.l

An ingenious apparatus for recording the
total duration of rainfall in the course of a
day or still longer time has been devised
by M. Schmelz, formerly professor at the
Lycee de Lille. 1t consists of box having
a rain funnel in its top, by which the rain
can enter and drop upon band of travelling
paper which passes below within the box.
This paper is the usual Morse strip treated
in a sulphate of iron and dried carefully,
then brushed with tannic acid or powdered
cyanoferride of potassium mixed with rOsin
A roll Of it is placed within the box and is
unwound on another roller outside the
box. The latter is driven by chain fiom
the hour hand of a common clock so that it
rotates once an hour. In this time, there
fore, the paper has been pulled along beneath
the rain funnel length equal to the circum-
ference of the roller The falling drops dye
the paper and indicate where the rain began
and left off. Correction is made for the in
creasing diameter of the winding roller as
the paper is wound upon it, The instru-
ment is said to work well, and to indicate
fine showers, which are lost upon the ordi-
nary pluviometer.

IncrustatiOns In Water SuppN Pipes

A correspondent of an exchange writes:
One of the most annoying accidents that
can happen to the steam engine runner is to
have his water supply pipe choked up with
lime and other solid incrustations. Especial
ly in the hot water pipe, lime is apt to settle
and incrust on the iron pipes, till they be-
come completely filled up, so that no water
whatever can pass to the pump or injector
which forces it into the boiler. In such
cases it is customary to take up the pipes
and try to loosen the solid matter by pound
ing on the pipe and breaking it OUT or by
making a fire along its whole length and
burning it out In very recent obstinate
case one end was stopped up with with a
plug, and standing it upon end, coal OIL was
pouried in as long as any would go in, and
the whole was left to stand till morning,
when the whole was slid out in solid core.
While this may not always work, 1t is GER
tainly worth trial in obstinate cases.

Is the Equator Moving North ::
Fort Wayne Qndiana) Gazette


The startling theory of the change in the
position of the earth's equator has resulted
in the recording of the following phenomena
to which the attention of scientists is called
again. Professor A. M. Blake, the well
known Cleveland astronomer, writes us as
follows, inclosing letter he has received
from correspondent, to which reference was
made few days ago:
"NEW HAVEN, Conn, June 30.-A. ".
Blake, ESQ.,: l have noticed when the sun
is in the zenith, at noon, that the gnOmOn on
the suns dial casts shadow shorter than
the indications on the dial. Your letter is
very clear As far as 1 can see the sun
crept further north from June 81 Summer
solstice, old style) to the 9th, ana begins to
retrace.
t.... "a e. CHAPMAN
Professor Blake then says: ''He verities
nv calculations; on July 9 the sun on the
return set in the same place as on the ad-
vance, June 81 Hence, the sun scores right
six days and left ION the return) five days
which equals eleven days that it was not
occupying the same relative position to the
earth that it did old style This proves con-
clusively the change in the inclination of the
earth to the plane of its orbit"
The above correspondence was read to
Professor Clippinger, of the Fort Wayne
Episcopal College, himself an astronomer OF
no mean attainments, who stated that he
had noted the same phenomeea in connec-
ton with his sun dial, and that if what Pro
fessor Blake stated was his calculation, and
it had been thus verified, Blake had scored
one point, and that very strong one, in favor
of his theory of the change of his equator,
owing to the change in the inclination of the
earth to the plane of it's orbit

Spanish Relics.

Laborers excavating for the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe railroad, six miles south OF
Crittenden station, Arizona Territory, dis
covered three pottery ollas filled with human
bones. The ollas were imbedded three feet
in solid lava lock, and appearances indicate
that the lava had flowed around them. In
one of the ollas were found three Spanish
coins beslring date 1913 The pottery was
painted inside, like that found in all the old
ruins of Arizona.
