SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

A man in Pittsburg, Penn, has In
vented a potato-digger which, it is
claimed, will do the work Of twenty
men.
At a recent reception given by NJ.
Louis Rau, in Paris, each Of the lady
guests about to take part in a dance
was presented with a bouquet in the
middle of which shone miniature
electric lamp fed by batteries devised
by M. Trouve.
The worlds largest animals are dis
appearing. The elephant is said to be
rapidly approaching extinction, and in
the interest of science it is suggested
that the British government interfere
to prevent the further destruction of
this gigantic creature in India.
Nature creates by the million, ap-
parently that she may destroy by the
myriad. She gives life one instant,
only that she may snatch it away the
next. The main difference is that the
higher we ascend the less lavish the
creation, and the less sweeping the de-
struction. Thus, while probably but
one fish in a thousand reaches ma
turity, of every 1000 children born,
GOA attain adul6 age. That is, nature
filings aside 999 out of every 1000
fishes as useless for her purposes, and
two out of every five human beings.
Dogs, rabbits and Guinea pigs were
kept by M. Poincare in an atmosphere
resembling that which is usually
breathed by persons who use petro-
Ieum. The Guinea pigs alone sue
cumbed after remaining from one to
two years in this medium. The other
animals appeared to resist indefinitely.
He nevertheless recommends persons
employing petroleum as source of
heat or light, or who treat it indus
triously, to keep their stock in closed
vessels, to attend to ventilation, and to
execute the operations Of rectiiication,
ETC., under draught-hoods.
From observations made in New
York and neighboring cities, DIR. A. A.
Julien concludes that the various
stones used for buildings will retain
q decent appearance in walls for the
following periods: Coarse brown
stone, from to Is years; laminated
fine brown stone, from 25 to so years /;
compact fine brown stone, from 100 to
200 years Nova Scotia stone, prob
ably from so to 100 years Ohio sand
stone, 100 years; Caen stone, from 35
to 40 years; coarse dolomite marble,
40 years f; fine marble, 60 years; pure
calcareous marble, from so to 100
years granite, according to variety,
from IS to 200 years. Among the
chief destroyers of the stones are sol
vent substances washed from the air
by rains, and the heat of the sun.

A White Apache.

The Tombstone (Arizona) RepubH-
can of recent date says: A few days
since Hermosillo dispatch announced
the wounding and capture of white
man, supposed to be L.. N. Streeter,
while heading an apache foray.
Streeter is about fifty years of age and
was born in California, his father being
captain of an English merchantmen
trading on the Pacific coast and his
mother a native Californian. Of his
boyhood or early manhood very little
is known, he first coming into notice
in Arizona by his connection as clerk
with the San Carlos agency during
Governor Safford's administration in
this Territory. While there he had
some difficulty with the officials, caused,
it is said, by his giving aid and comfort
to hostile Apaches. He left there
suddenly and went straight for the
camp of Juh and Geronimo, which
was then near Janos Pass, on the line
between Sonora and Chihuahua. 1t is
stated that while he was at the agency
he became enamored of squaw be-
longing to the tribe, and it was this
fact that induced his leaving civiliza-
tion to cast his fortunes with the
Apaches. Governor Stafford offered
large reward for his apprehension,
some stories placing the amount as
high as $4,000. He was not appre-
hended, however, and has never re-
turned to Arizona.
He is said by those knowing him
iDfipootaIv 20 ba vary iptelli0enf ond
well educated, and a manuscript now
IN the hands of the writer, written
while Streeter was at Grenadoes, goes
to prove it. He speaks the Apa3he
dialect fluently, and is said to have
great influence with them. His stand
ing among the savages, by whom he is
known as Don Ca5samario, may be
seen when it is known that the eide t
son Of Chief Geronimo is named for
him

Ar .tcntcher,s NIethnds.

In an interview with a professional
ratcatcher a New York Sun reporter
asked
"How do you clear house of rats ?"
eff the house has a soft cellar floor
/ can get the rats out, but 1 can't keep
them out. If it has a hard founda-
tion, hunt out all the holes leading
from the sewers and stop them up
with sand and cement. That prevents
any more from getting in and those in
the house from escaping. You see, a
rat is always on the move. He is
never still, but goes from the sewer to
the house and back again very often.
Having made the cellar tight, 1 find
the runways by which the rats go
from one floor to another. These are
generally along lead pipes in the walls.
A rat will run up lead pipe as easy
as walk along the floor. You can see
the marks Of their feet on the runway.
l nail small square piece of tin over
a part Of the runway and grease the
outside. Now, rat can't run up this,
and he slips down when he comes to it.
eff l can't get at the runways / find
the holes, and fix this wire door on it.
You see, it is made of four pieces of
short wire laid parallel, held together
W crossbars, and sharpened at the
ends. This is suspended by the top
over rat-hole. Coming from the hole
rat can easily lift it up and get
through. but he can't go back, as the
gate falls and the sharp points prevent
him from lifting it. Now / make a
rat trap of the whole house. so fix
the gates and tin sides that the rats
will all be led into one room in the
basement. There they are securely
caught, as they cannot possibly get
out. go among them with dark
lantern and pick them up with my
tongs. can catch them as quickly as
cat would mouse. If they get in
places where 1 can't reach them ]
shoot them with this long target
pistol. 1 use these little target cart
ridges, and it kills them every time.
"When the rats get in ceilings l
smother them out with cayenne pep
per. l have fumigator here which
W. ~ ~AAAS eeA RAA pump JUN AON
pepper in it and pump it into the CELL
ing. The rats can't stand that, and
they get out as fast as they can.
That is better than ferret, as ferrets
are expensive and the rats often kill
them. Ferrets are scary things to
handle. If they bite you once you
have to pry their jaws open. When
want to catch rats for dogs I set
traps First 1 remove everything out
of their way, so that they will get
very hungry. Then 1 set the traps.
Then have another way of catching
them. l wear rubber shoes into a
slaughter-house at night and carry a
dark lantern. / move softly about
and catch the rats with the tongs
before they have chance to get
away. In this way l have caught
103 rats in two hours and half. If
you ever get bitten by a rat, put the
wound in hot water and makeit bleed.
Then bathe it with arnica or spirits
of turpentine."

CHAPTER II,

Knee-deep, apparently, in the golden,
full-eared wheat, Edith and her sisters
sauntered idly along, Eva first, gather
ing the brightest of everything, till
her basket was full to overfowing -
scarlet poppies, Marguerites, graceful
clematis, rich leaves mellowing with
the lirst early autumn tints, long trail
ing sprays OF amb ar-veine1 ivy, and
noldlng golden grasses-all sorts of
wayside and woodland treasures. They
were returning from Hazeldell farm,
where the children had rested for half
an hour, and eaten homemade bread
and butter, and drank milk with the
yellow wrinkled cream on it, and
helped themselves to the remains Of
late amber gooseberries that bordered
the garden path. 1t was always a
treat to go to Hazeldell farm, but had
Edith known that there were seven
children i'll in the next farmhouse she
would have chosen some other direc-
tion. She had tried to think DR.. Ash
bys proposal over calmly, and it Ger
tainly seemed a safe and easy way out
of all their difficulties. He was rich
and willing to undertake the children's
education; he would make an addition
20 Mrs. Bertram's income, which would
enable her to live in comfort at some
watering place Though Mrs. Bertram
meant to make the Dingle her home);
everything he proposed was kind and
thoughtful, and she was very grateful,
but in heart she felt she did not love
Seymour Ashby, and, what was more
than that, she never should love him.
Friendship. esteem. affection perhaps.

but no second growth Of love would

A Wond rful cavern.

About mile from the market town
of Adelsberg, in Austria, and three
miles from Trieste, is to be seen the
most wonderful cavern in Europe, and
possibly in the world, called the Adels-
berg cave, and which has been explored
for n length Of nearly three thousand
yards, as far as a subterranean lake
This cavern consists of several grottoes,
from sixty to eighty feet high. The
interior resounds with the noise of
water, as little river runs completely
through it, forming many cascades on
its way. and being finally lost to view
in a fissure. his river continues its
subterranean course for about eight
miles, and after time it disappears
into the cayerns of Laase, whence it
emorges as a navigable river called the
Laibach The entrance to the cave of
Adelsberg is Illuminated by hundreds
of candles, and transparent curtain.
composed of large sheets of crystallized
limestone, is seen hanging from the
roof. The vast hall or ballroom is
about 1e0 yards from the entrance. 1t
is three hundred feet long and one
hundred feet high, and is adorned with
transparent stalactites of every kind of
fantastic shape and form Until the
year 1919, this ballroom was the only
part known; but at this date the wall
of stalagmite was broken through, and
a series Of chambers exposed to view
possessing a eathedral-like appearance,
from the stalactites in many instances
forming vast columns. by meeting the
stalagmites below. La the Adelsberg
cavern, numerous specimens are found
