The Oil Tree of China.

The Rural Horticole calls attention to the value of the oil yielded by the
 eed of the ''oil trce'' of China and Japan. This tree resembles in habit and in foliage the common fig tree. The fruit is capsule the size of an orange, formed of several cells, each containing large thick-shelled seed. These seeds contain an active purga- tive principle, and are not edible. They contain, however, 40 per cent. of their weight of clear, colorless, limpid oil, possessing remarkable siccative proper ties. This oil is used largely in China and J,pan iu ths manufacture of lac- quers, in making water proof cloths and in painting buildings and for lights. An oil tree five or six years old may be expected, it appears, to produce an average annual crop of from 800 to 400 pounds of seed. It thrives on dry, sandy, rocky soil, and has been found to succeed in some parts of southern France, where, and in Algiers, its more general cultivation is now urged. Ex- periments with this tree should be made in California, and as it is found in the northern Island of Nippon, it may be expected to be hardy in many parts of the United States.

Hawks Useful to Farmers.

The report of the commissioner of agriculture for 1887, recently issued, includes report of the assistant orni- thologist of the department, Dr. A. K.. Fisher, on the food of hawks and owls. This is based on the examination of 1O72 stomachs of these rapacious birds and will prove of special interest to farmers. 1u Massachusetts, for instance, the three commonest large hawks are the marsh hawk-usually seen flying low cv:r meadows and marshes, and conspicuous for its white runp-and the red-tailei and the red- -shouldered hawks. The two latter are most often noticed soaring high in air, and among people generally are known as then hawks" implying that they prey upon poultry. -t
 Doctor Fisher and hi, associates ex- amined tho stomachs of 311 hawks, with the following results: Twenty five contained poultry; four contained quails; five contained crows; thirty-five contained other birds-sparrows, etc. two hundred and three contained mice fifty-five contained other mammals; and twenty-four contained insects Youths Companion.

Paper Made From Tree Tops,

The discovery of Q new use of the cotton stalk, for paper pulp, is followed by the discovery of a method of utiliz- ing the tops of pine and spruce trees for the same purpose. This at once makes marketable vast mass of hitherto waste material. It is sort of waste that has led to untold mischief in numbering regions, because, having become dry, it has been the originating place of near ly all forest fires in lum Der districts. Hereafter the tops and branches of all evergreens will be gathered, and being steamed to extract the resinous matter will be ground into dry pulp. This is portable to any distan co, when it can be used in paper manufacture. The effect of the two discoveries on paper pro- duction will be enormous, and for tho advantage of tho press and people. It is impossible to avoid the conviction that in due time we shall discover that nothing need be wasted, but that all things are useful when properly under stood. d.-[ [Globe-Dsmocrat.

A Monster Tree.

During recent trip through the wilds of the Sierras, about tho head Waters of tho Kaweah river, Tulare county, Cal, Mr. Fred w. Clough, a well-known engineer of the Comstock, says that he and his companions dis covered tree of sequoia species, which he believes to be much the largest on the continent of Am ,ric,. MT. Warren, who has seen the big trees of Mariposa, those of the biz tree grove in Calaveras county, and all the big trees of the coast range, says there IS nowhere in California tree that ap- breaches in size that on the Kaweah.
 Tho men had with them no rule, tape line or measure of any kind, but MT. Warren measured the tree with his rife, which is four feet in length. Ho found it to be fl lengths of his gun in circum. ference ct point as high abovs tho ground as he could roach. The top of the tree has been broken off, but it is still of i'm nensc height.
 This monster tree stands i1 small basin near the Kaweah, and is surround ed on all sides by wal of huge, rugged rocks. There is so much brush in the vicinity that the little valley in which tho big tree stands is almo t inaccessi- blc.--[ Prairie Farmer.

The Art of the Silversmith.

Entering New York jewelry house Telegram reporter asked for little information about the silver reponsse work which is such an attractive fea- ture ia the jewellers windows.
 "Wcll," said tho manager, "the art is very old, but it is only within recent years that it has como into such exten- sive use in thls country. It is growing in popularity, and being constantly adapted to new forms of decoration.
 q notice the ladies are especially fond of lingering over the silver re- pousse work, as usoi in tho manufac- ture of toilet, articlo, and indeed, no dainty woman could we'll resist tho look of cleanliness aud purity which this adornm,nt gives to brushes and combs and the various trides of the dressing case.
 '~ @.Wfcn vase or bowl lss to be dons in repousse it is first shaped, then the pattern traced on it. One end of tool, called tsnarliag iroa,' IS placed against the inside of the bowl; the other end is fastened to a wise. By striking this iron t he silver is hammered out according to the pattern. How far it is driven out depends upon the dis tance from tho wise at which the iron is struck. You would suppose the silver would be weakened by this process, but it is not. ..... .. s,
 "When this part of the work is done the bowl is filled with paste of plas- ter, oil and pitch; then it goes to tho engraver.
 "The engraver has two sandbags be- fore him on a tabl,, and on these he lays the bowl while working with it.
 "Come this way and I'll show you the little collection of tools used by the engraver in this york;"
 The 'little collection" proved to be bewildering assortment of hundreds of tiny tools, probably none over five inches long. Some were sharp and some were blunt, some were honey combed with cells SO small they could be seen only with microscope. Six of these invisible cells ware discovered in the point of tool, and tho point wasn't bigger than the head of pin. The whole lot looked to the uninitlated eye l like box of common nails.
 And yet" said the gentleman, "with all these tools-there are 1700 of them-and his little mallet besides, g repousse engraver fusses and fumes about not having half as many as he needs. But the work is beautiful and salable enough to pay well for tho labor extended on it.

Watercress Cultivation.

It was not until 1908 that watercress growing was undertaken ia England. In that year market gardener named Bradbury of Springhead, near Crave send observed that the watcrcress of that place was of finer quality than that produced elsewhcre; and perceiv- ing that when kept free from weeds, etc., it throve we'll, he took to farming it for the market. Since then it has become an object of regular cultivation and large beds have boen planted in various parts of the country. A few of the growers have become prosperous men, and today large numbers 1.-Two by its culture, while many more daily earn their livelihood by it's sale. Iu London aloro it is computed that tho street hawkers annually dispose of $50,o00 worth of watercress, and the green gro- cers of that city are credited with sell ing each year $25, 900 worth of the same plant. When, therefore, we come to consider the quau titles, which, in ad- dition to the metropolis, must be con- sumcd in Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool and other largo centres of in- dustry, we get some idea of the enor- nous sum annually spent on this relish. O. the continent it is also much es. tcemed as may be gathered from the fac. that the yearly rental of. the beds at Erfurt reaches $50, 900; and in Paris octroi duties are annually levied on wate;cress estimated to be worth $200, . 00O In New Zealand, whither it was imported by English settlers, it grows exceedingly well, the leaves attaining m extraorl mary size; in fact, it is said to have become a somewhat. trouble some weed. In India, according to MT. Main, it is cultivated under sheds erected for tho purpose. II Cham bers'

The Genuine "Nutmeg State. "

A writer who has explored New
 Guinea describes the nutmeg region.
 Upon fine piece of table-land hs c.ma upon three houses erected in the very heart of the forest. These wero used by the natives for drying the nutmegs.
 The country was everywhere magnifi- cent, and the aroma of the spice-laden air delicious. Nutmeg and other equal ly valuable trees were every where grow ing in great profusion. The fruit oi the nutmeg in appearance resembles a pear, and when ripe opens and displays the nut covered with a beautiful red coating of mace. Tho nuts are then picked and taken to the houses, where they are huskcd and placed on shelves They are then partly roasted over | slow fire until all the moisture is CT. tracted, after which they are cooled and sent to market -.-l Chicago Hsrald.

An Old Saying and its Origin.

The saying, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," originated from the following circumstances: Will somers, the celebrated jester to Henry VIII., happened to call at Lord Sur rey's, whom he had often by we'll timed jest saved from the kings dis pleasure, and who consequently, was always glad to see him. He was on this occasion ushered into the aviary, where he found ''my lord" amusing himself with his birds. somers happened to admire the plumage of kingfisher. ''By my lady, my prince of wits, l will give it to you" Will skipped about with delight, and swore by the great Harry he was most noble gentleman. Away went Will with his kingfsher, telling all his acquain tances whom he met that his friend Surrey had just pre- sented him with it. Now, it SO hap pened that Lord Northampton, who had seen the bird tho day previous, ar- rived at Lord surrey's just as Will Somers had left with the intention of asking tho bird of Surrey for a present to lady friend. Great was his chagrin on finding the bird gone. Surrey how- ever, consoled him with saying that he knew Somers would restore. it if he (surrcy) promised him two some other day. Away wenta messenger to the prince of wits, whom he found in rap- lures with his bird, and to whom he de- livered his lords message. Great was Wills surprise, but he WIS not to be bamboozled by even the monarch him self. "sirrah,' said Will, ''tell your master that am much obliged for his liberal offer of two for one, but that 1 prefer one bird in hand to two in the | b,, ,h 0

Adhesive Qualities of Onions.

Paper pasted, gummod or glued on to metal especially it has bright surface,
 usually comes off on tho slightest prov ocation, leaving the adhesive material on the back of the paper, with sur face bright and slippery as ice. The cheaper description of clock dials are printed on paper and then stuck on zinc, but for years the difficulty was to get the paper ani metal to adhere. It is, however, said to be now overcom by dipping the metal into strong and hot solution of washing soda, a.tcr- ward scrubbing perfectly dry with a clean rag. Onion juice is then applied to the surface of the metal and the lab ,l pasted and fixed in tho ordinary way.
 It is said to be almost impossible to separate paper and metal thus joined

"Black Rain"

In letter to local paper, Mr. I. r.idgin Tcalc of Leeds, England, re- ferling to some correspondence about ''black rain" says th%t about half-past seven p. m. on July 31 there was shower of black rain, which is thus de- scribcd to him by Mrs. BaxendalI, ot E,st Keswick: About seven ia tho evening thu sky became overcast. heavy, reddish lrown cloud being over- head and reaching to the horizon south ward. In about half an hour torrents of rain fell, and the remarkable feature was that the rain was perfectly black. Everybody about hcre noticed it. and the farmers say that their rain tanks of clear water arc now filled with this black water. It does not seem to bo on account of any substance which will settle like any sediment, for iu the tanks it still (Thursday) remains black. Next m orning as we drove to Colin ngham, three miles distant, wo saw by tho roads and the pools that there had been the same phenomenon at that distance, but we learn that at Thornor, Harwick and other places inn mediatcly surrounding there was no rain."
 In second letter the lady ''tells me that the shower of black raia extended as far at least as Wetherby, five miles distant, and that her husband has given bottle of the water to Mir. Branson of Leeds for analysis"
 'The explanation l would suggest for tho remarkable phenomenon is this that the coloring matter of the rain is meteoric dust from tho breaking up of the meteor, for the meteor was seen against the bank of cloud described by Mrs. Baxendall, which from my house seemed to hang over district extend- ing from Wetherby to Ha-ewood. The meteor appeared to break up into sparks and minglo with the northwestern or Harewood extremity of this cloud, from which in about half an hour descended the black rain. Surely thls letter will induce others to contribute information on this interesting subject"
