W.Hiqrn T. Smith, of this city, has
designed a novel apparatus for shut
ting off the flow of gas from a service
pipe into building that is on fire. The
apparatus is screwed to the pipe outside
the meter, but enough within the walls
OF the building to be exposed to the
heat of the fire. In chambers formed
in the middle of the apparatus is an
alloy of metal that will melt at COM
paratively low temperature. When the
heat of the fire within the basement OF
the building reaches the soft allow it
melts and falls into the trap at the bot
tom of the fitting, sealing the passage
against escape of gas, even in its melt
ed state, as the depth of the seal is re-
gulated so that any ordinary gas pres
sure cannot blow it out.

MINGLING SToCK.-Stock TO be per-
fectly healthy, must have an opportun-
ity of mingllng with other living things,
of various kinds. The old idea of the
healthy effect goats have upon stabbed
horses is only one phase of a great
truth, that it takes the emanations of
an active life to perfect every other life.
Cattle should be pastured near or in con-
junction with hogs and horses. The ac-
tion of one upon another is always ben
eficial; and the young, playful and so.
ciable always make friends with each
other IN such way that much future
inconvenience may be spared the owner.
Put sheep and young cattle together
and each will grow in strength one-third
faster. Put horses and goats or even
young cattle in the same lot and each
will grow the better, will feed easier
and will grow with finer results. When
ever the natural instincts of domestic
animals can have play they tend to con-
fidence and general affection for all liv-
ing forms, 4 cat is the only thing
which loves no other animals; if it en-
dures them 1t is a stretch of magnan-
unity which actually conlradictS its hon.
