Poultryusen have often engaged IN

record being that of George A Fisher,
of Detroit, Mich, who, on August I5,
1886, dressed two hundred chickens
for the market in exactly forty four

Causes Of Fire.

In regard to spontaneous com
bustion, the fires of the year in Bos-
ton have furnished some new obser-
vations of considerable importance.
In one case, says the American
Architect, a quantity of feather dCst
in bedding mandatory took fire
without apparent reason. 1t was
found. however, that piece of thick
glass had been lying on the feathers,
and the SIMS rays, concentrated in
some way by the glass, had set FIRE
to them, although the day was cole,
one in the month Of March. In
another case, a number of tarpauin
hats were lying, packed together, IN
window. The high temperature,
with, perhaps, the close packing OF
the hats, caused them to burst into a
blaze. The other fires were caused
by putting paraffine paper, such as
candy If wrapped in, into a refuse
barrel which contained little saw
dust and third, which DESTROYED
twenty thousand dollars worth OF
property, was occasioned by putting
greasy paper, winch had been used
to wrap lunches in, into a wooden re
fuse barrel, which contained som,
sawdust a I'D sweepings."

A Barrel Of Flour made into Bread.

The American Analyst thus sums
a bakers profits, or what barrel Of
flour is worth when made INTO bread.
A baker will toss barrel OF flour in
to a trough. Then he tosses lO4
pounds of water ON top. A quantity
of Yeast is added, ard then the joll5
baker has 300 pounds of dough to
operate on. The 800 gounds cost
him S5. In short order the dough
is turned into twists high loaveE,
pan loBves, and other styles of the
same quality. The ovens heat re
duces the 800 hundred pounds Of
dough to $50 pounds of bread. The
baker sells his bread at the rate OF
four cents a pound, or at an advance
of over 30 per cent. over what 1t cost
him. There are 1,400 bakers, great
and small in this city, who make one
thousand three hundred lOaves OF
bread per day and sell it from $50 20
$50. or at a net profit of $40. Lit
tie money is lost In the business, and
most bakers do cash trade. 1t Is
very seldom that bakers fail. The
business is steady, reliable, and at
tended with a very few risks, unIess

How 10 Prove that the Earth Turns.

1t has puzzled the heads of a good
many Youngsters to know how the
earth turns round 4 German edu
catioual Journal published in Frank
fort gives the following directions
for proving that the earth ''does
move" Take a onod-sized bowl, I'LL
upon the floor OF u room which Il not
exposed to shaking or iaTring from
the street. Sprinkle over the Sur
face Of tue water a coating of lyco-
podium powder white substance
which Is sometimes used for the
purposes of the toilet, and which can
be obtained at almost any spothe-
cary's. Then upon the facing Of
tins coating of powder make, with
powdered charcoal, n straight black
line, say an inch or two IL length.
H wing made tins little black mark
with the charcoal powder on the sur
face of the contents of the bowl, lay
down upon the floor close to the
bowl a stick or some other straight
object, so that it Will he exactly
PARALLEL with the mark II the line
happens TO be parallel with crack
IN the floor, or with any stationary
object IN the room, this will serve
as well
Leave the bowl undisturbed for q
few hours, and then observe the
position of the black mark with re-
ference to the object that 1t WAS
PARALLEL with. 1t will be found to
have moved sbout, and to have NOV
ed from east to west-that is to say,
in the direction opposite to that of
the movement of the earth on its
axis. The earth in simply revolving
has carried the water and everything
else IN the bowl around with it, but
the powder on the surface has been
left behind little. The line will
always be found to have moved from
east to west, which Is perfectly good
proof that everything else has moved
the other way. London Court

Is Salt a Necessity.

The question of the need of salt as
essential to health is being widely
discussed by scientists and medical
men 1t has been claimed by many
TO be good for the blood and an aid
to digestion. A scientific writer
now says that this is not SO and that
the Importance of salt has been very
much overrated. He claims that in
stead of preventing scurvy the ex-
cessive use of salt produces scuryy.
Then he shows that there are MANY
places in the world where salt ia not
known and yet the inhabitants are ali
verJ healthy. In South Africa salt
is very scarce and only the verv
wealthy can afford to have it on thei,
tables The poorer people who have
never tasted salt are all very strope
and healthy Previous to the dis.

Old Boots and Shoes.

The Journal of the Constantinopls
Chamber of Commerce describes the
industrial uses of old boots and shoes
which are thrown out Into the streets
or into ash pits After being collect
ed they are ripped open and the
leather is subjected to a treatment
which renders it a pliab.s mass, from
which a kind of artistic leather is
derived. This IN appearance resem-
bles the finest Cordova leather. In
the United States patterns are stamp
cd on this, while in France it is used
to cover trunks and boxes The old
boots and shoes are also treated in
another way, by which they are con
verted into new ones. The prisoners
in Central France are employed in this
way, the o,d shoes coming chiefly from
Spain. They are taken to pieces as
before, the nails being all removed,
and the leather is soaked in water TO
soften it. The uppers for childrens
shoes are then cut from it The soles
are also used, for from the smaller
pieces of the leather of the old soles
for so called Louis XIV. heels for
ladies shoes are made, while the soles
of children's shoes are made from the
larger aud thinner pieces The old
nails also are put to use, for by means
OF magnets the iron nails and the
tacks anu brade are separated and
sold. TIE contractors ofthe military
prison at Montpelier say thst these
nails alone pay for the old shoes
Nothing now remains but the scraps
and these have also their value, fol
