What Scientists Say of the CIouds.

The common theory that clouds are
composed of vesicles or hollow spheres of
condensed vapor is now combated by a
French scientist, who assumes that every
solid body, whatever may be its diameter,
retains around. it by adhesion special
atmosphere of the gas in which it is
plunged; that the thickness of this atmos-
phere is nearly independent of the vol
ume of the solid body, and that the at
traction which retains it is within the
domain of the molecular forces and is
manifested only within very short dis
tances. II this way the difficulty of COM
pletely removing the air from tube
which is to be filed with liquid is &C
counted for. In the case of vesicle sur
rounded by its atmosphere, the thermal
absorption of the water is much greater
than that of the diathermanous air; the
atmosphere of the visicle is consequently
expanded, and the particle with its atmos-
phere floats, by displacing an equal vol
ume or the circumambient air.

water, marble two and three-fourths, and
granite and sandstone about the same;
and from these 6gures the bulk of load
may be estimated. In drawing earth
gravel and clay at ordinary degrees of
moisture, seventeen or eighteen cubic
feet may be reckoned as weighing ton
but much depends on their compactness
the bulk in their natural beds being in
creased at the rate of from two to three
by digging, or eighteen feet increased to
twenty-seven. Hay varies in weight
with the kind of hay. the degree or cur
ing, the time of cutting, whether early
and soft, or late, dry and stiff, and with
the depth sof the hay or superintendent
weight and time in settling; but as fair
average, well settled timothy hay is
about 500 cubic feet, and clover 700 or
800 to the ton.
The different substances which we have
mentioned will settle and become smaller
after driving over the road, and the inter
stices will be of less magnitude and more
or less filled; the measurements given US
ually apply to those freshly loaded. There
is much variation in the specific gravity
of some of them and more or less with all.
But by becoming familiar with the weights
of the different materials which consti-
tute the loads of teams, the owners may
often economic labor and time, and oc
casionally prevent overstraining on the
part of their teams.
In giving these various weights and
measurements, it is not intended to super
sede the necessity of being provided with
farm scales for Weighing loads wherever
they can be accessible to use. They will
aid in the estimates here given, enable the
farmer to measure his crops approx
mately, ascertain what he has to sell, and
to weigh animals in connection with feed
to determine their increase, and to ascer-
tain at what rates they can properly be
disposed of when alive. Without their
aid much of the operations are carried on
in the dark.
more careful attention to these var
ious estimates would lessen the frequency
with which we see reckless drivers whip
ping their overloaded horses, which are
already straining themselves to their ut
most in the interest of their owners.
More work can be accomplished in the
long run by moderate, steady labor, than
by any amount of overstraining and ir-
regular efforts.

The BOGUS Violin Trade.

The bogus violin trade is apparently
very profitable business, form spite
of repeated exposures fiourishes with
greater vlgor than ever. There is an old
Latin proverb, according to which peo-
pie like to be taken in, and accordingly
they have their wish gratifed. The
plalnest proofs are powerless to convince
those persons of their folly in purchasing
the extraordinary bargains that are CON
stantly being offered in the way of string
ed instruments. The prices at which
violins labelled" Straduarius or Amati
are, indeed, described as marvenously
moderate. In truth, if the instruments
were genuine they would readily fetch
two or three hundred times as much as
the worthless counterfeits in which so
much trade is now being done: AS the
prices commanded by instruments known
to be by Straduarius, a sale which took
place the other day in Paris shows pretty
clearly. a well-known musical amateur
of that city, M. de Saint-Senoch, was the
fortunate possessor of four instruments
by that unrivalled maker, and these were
brought under the BANNER. The gem of
the lot was a violin of the date 1877, be-
ing one of the last manufactured by
Straduar1us, and this was knocked down
for the trife of $4,000 francs, or $1,000.
Another fiddle dated 1904, fetched 1000
francs, or 81 1000. A third instrument,
viola or ''altos'' was sold for 10000
francs, or $3.50. Finally, there was a
cello" the oldest of the four-as it dated
from 1696-aad Tor this purchaser was
found at the, THE price of 10000 francs,
or 5000. While Frenchmen are thus
glad to pay many thousands of dollars
for single Cremona instrument, we
find that Violins bearing similar names
and dates command a ready sale in
London at sums ranging from $3.50 to
$500.

The Field Pea.
Farm, Field and Stockman.

There is pea Tor rather BEAM known
as the COW bean. It is said to grow
wherever corn can be produced, but we
Virginia, though crops are grown In New
Jersey. The peas may be cooked in any
manner as beans, and are very norishing
and wholesome. In stating however,
that they are only grown below Virginia.
it applies only to the maturing of the
crop. The pea can be grown to the
blossoming stage anywhere in the United
States, and it is for that reason one of
the best and quickest growing crops that
can be produced for green manural pur-
poses. If the seed is broadcasted thick
ly over piece of clean ground, after the
air is well warmed, the young plants
soon shade the ground and smother
down all intruding grass and weeds.
Once they get good start they grow
rapidly and when in blossom should be
plowed under. But we will state that the
work of turning under the crop will be
heavy, for the reason that there will be
a dense mass of stalks and leaves, which
will add as much vegetable matter to the
soil as a crop of clover, and yet produced
at less expense and In shorter time. If
ten bushels of lime per acre be scattered
over the land, after the crop is turned
under, it will be more beneficial than
either alone, but as the green matter
quickly rots no time will be lost, for the
land may be narrowed over and sOwn to
rye with advantage. We would suggest
that some of our readers give the fel d
pea trial.

many who are closely confined to Office
work-ladies as we'll as gentleman-ca
keep a few stands of bees at their homes
in the city or town. Oftentimes bees are
kept in the garnet of a residence, which,
if of easy access and IN movable frame
hives, would be quite desirable, as well as
of much profit. l have known bees to
pay we'll when kept and managed in good
hives as above; but when placed in a
room to shift for themselves and let go
without proper attention, they are usual
ly failure. A gentleman of my acquain-
lance has been keeping bees for many
wears in city of $4,000 Inhabitants, and
has made them pay good dividends. Al
SO several ladies of my acquaintance are
now keeping bees in towns and country
villages, some of whom are making mon
ey besides a good living in keeping bees
and producing honey for the market.
Some have become quite skeptical as to
keeping bees as a permanent employ
ment, to whom l say there is no danger
of OVERRIDING the bee business, from the
fact that honey is finding its way into
MANY families who can not keep bees,
as well as in many parts of Europe. Our
American honey is preferable to their
own production and brings better price
It is also used as a medicine
and is largely used in preparing many of
the cough syrups. In a word hardly
believe that. an overproduction will ever
be realized. Hence I recommend all who
can keep a few stands of bees to do so,
as it is much easier to thus procure
nice dish of honey for your own table
than to GO out on the market and pur-
chase. Not only so, but you become
public benefactor, aiding the Industries
of our country to make a good showing
to the world, as we'll as teaching the young
and rising generation habits of industry,
which no doubt would be the means OF
saving many parent sad heart aches,
and make better men and women OF our
children, fitting them for good society,
and not letting them go, as many do, I'M
employed and finally land in jail or a
penitentiary. Bees are well calculated to
teach all who desire to take lessons from
natures grand school, habits of industry
as well as economy, all of which are essen
tial to the prosperity of home. Try
keeping bees on a small scale, and learn
the business of properly managing few
stands at first and increase your stock as
you become more cOnversant with their
habits, and thus build up business you
need not be ashamed Of, and you will lind
by careful managing that they will pay
you from SO to 100 per cent annually. L
do not desire to lead any reader astray.
You should take good advice and start
carefully.

Life in st. Paul.
ST PauI Elpha

street car came up the Fourth street
line and turned to go up Wabasha. A
2O0-pound woman, dressed in black. with
market basket on her arm and sun-
burned umbrella in her hand, stood on
the corner and signaled the car driver to
stop. The car kept moving right up
Wabasha with majestic stride, and the
woman In black came in behind. a GOOD
second, following the naughty street car
up the street, wildly waving her umbrella
and filling the ambient air with baritone
voice. After the driver had gone about
block and half he pulled up, and, stick
ing his head around the corner of his car.
inquired of the putting woman in black if
she desired to get on the car.
"Oh, no." she replied; II just wanted TO
chase it up the street few blocks. 1
didn't want to get on. Street cars weren't
made to ride on; they were made for
women to run after and admire Don't
stop on my account. I'd like to chase it
out couple Of miles just for fun
By this time the woman had gone into
the car and dropped into seat, and she
rode to the end of her journey without
paying her fare. and the driver didn't
have sufficient amount of face to ask her
for it in the presence of the smiling
passengers.
