development in these arid regions has
been retarded for years. Capital runs
fast when it gets scared, and many a
dollar headed this way Two years ago
is lost to this country forever.

Well, no man can tell. We can only

Thomas Bell, the contractor and
carpenter, has the job of building
a dwelling house down Wood River
on the ranch belonging to Arthur
Brown, a Salt Lake attorney. Or
Friday, about noon, his workmen had
the frame all up and the roof on.
The sidings were not up. Of sud-
den, a terrific burst of whirlwind
struck it, lifting the roof high sky
ward and finally depositing it on the
prairie some distance from the build
ing site. No great damage was done
by the balloon excursion.

Tnlenyened Bread OF the Passover.

The "Pesach" festival or Jewish Pass
over is the only festival in which ''mat-
Zos' is the one bread allowed The
bread is unleavened, and there are now
four cities in America with unleavened
bread bakcries-New York, New Orleans,
Chicago and Cincinnati. In order to
supply the demand these bakeries begin
baking two months before the beginning
of the Passover The matzos look like
the ordinary hard-tack, except that they
are foot square. They are made Of
-four and water, and contain no other
ingredients. After the flour has been
kneaded into q stiff douoh, a lump of it
containing about fifty pounds is placed
on great block Of wood and pressed
into a thick >hect with great beam
whicn Is fastened to the block at one end
by an iron link and staple. The sheet is
next placed under an iron roller from
which it emerges into long ribbon. 1t
passes through several rollers until it is
thin enough for baking. 1t is then
stamped and cut into unbaked matzos,
which are placed upon wooden tray
having a long handle and deposited in
an oven. In three minutes they are done,

The Farms of America.

Mr. Andrew Carnegie, the iron manu-
facturer, Of Pittsburg, Pa., in his book
entitled ''Triumphant Democracy" says
of the farms Of Amer. ca: ''The farms of
America comprise S37, G29 square miles,
an area nearly equal to one-fourth of
Europe, and larger than the four greatest
European countries put together (Russia
excepted), namely France, Germany,
Austria and Hungary and Spain. The
capital invested in agriculture would
suffice to buy up the whole Of Italy,
with its rich olive groves and vineyards,
its old historical cities, cathedrals and
palaces, its Kings and aristocracy, its
Pop; and Cardinals, and every other
!eudal appurtenancc. Or, if the Ameri-
can farmers were to sell out, they could
buy the entire Peninsula Of Spain; with
all Is traditions of medieval grandeur,
and the fiat lands which the Holanders
at vast cost have wrcsted from the sea
and the quaint old towns they have built
there. II he chose to put by his savings

Awed by an Ear Trumpet,

Some years ago a we'll known Presby-
terian divine was spending his summer
vacation with his family in the Adiron-
dacks. One Sunday he accepted an in
vitation to preach in one of the simple
meeting houses Of that region. In the
congregation was man who was appar-
emily deaf, for he came to the service
armed and equipped with an immense
brass ear trumpet, and as soon as the
sermon began went forward and took his
seat wei. up on the pulpit stairs. The
clergyman's little daughter wa. among
the auditors; she had never seen an ear
trumpet, and the spectacle OF the form
on the-pulpit stairs steadily holding that
instrument to his head filled her with
awe and wonder. On her way home
from church the first thing she said to
her father when they were alone was:
Papa, was that an archangel by you7"

The Curious Young I.sb.tor.

The young lobster whc.4 first hatchcd
measures about a third OF an inch in
length and looks like small shrimp.
The eyes are bright blue, and upon its
body appear marks Of orange and pink,
making them very conspicuous They
are good swimmers during the first stages
OF their growth, before their claws AMI
other awkward appendages are devel-
oped, and indulge in the most extrava-
giant antics in the water, turning somcr-
saults and going through other acrobatic
fcats near the surface. Nature does not
provide them with any yelk-sac, and the
little ones begin feeding voracious)y as
soon as hatched, If they are not fur
nlshcd with proper food they attack one
another with caunibalistic intent. The
young Holsters in the aquaria at Woods
Holl are fed upon their mothers, who
are chopped up fine for the purpose. In
nature it is supposed that myria1s of
the little Holsters upon rising to the sur
face after leaving the eggs are consumed
by predaceous fishes. Dr. Ryder, who
is investigating the little Holsters at
Woods Holl, writes that he has found
among them some curious monstrositcs,
such as twins with their heads fused, a
central cyolopcan eye and tails separate
The lobster grows by stages or 'molt." :"
The first moltin5, as observed at Woods
IIoIl, takes place about five days after
leaving the egg.-NeU York Uerdld
