The Cancels Humps

Structurally, of course, the humps are
nothing-more Jumps of fat, collected I'M
der convenient fold of the skin, and
utterly unprovided for in the framework
of the skeleton. When the animal is at
its best and well fed, they are full and
plump, standing up on his back firm and
upright; but on long journey they are
gradually absorbed to keep up the fires
that work the heart and legs, and in the
caravan camels which arrive at the coast,
the skin hangs over, an empty bag, upon
the creatures hanks, bearing witness to
the scarcity of external food during the
course of his long, forced march from the
interior. A starved small camel in this
state OF health far more closely resembles
a Peruvian llama than any one who has
only seen the fine, well-kept beasts in
European menageries or geological gardens
could readily imagine.
But water is even scantier in the desert
than food, and against want of water,
therefore, the camel has had to provide
himself, functionally at least, if not struct
urally, quite as much as against want of
herbage. His stomach has accordingly
acquired the power of acting as an internal
reservoir, and he can take in as much
water at the Bahrs or Wadys, where he
rests for while on his toilsome march, as
will supply his needs for four or five days
together. There are some differences in
this respect, however, between the two
chief varieties of the camel. The African
kind is most abstemious, and best adapted
to sandy deserts; the Bactrian, product
of more varied and better-watered country,
is larger and stronger, but less patient of
hunger and thirst, while at the same time
it can manage to subsist and to make its
way into somewhat rocker and more rug
ged country.-Grant Allen, in Popular Sci
enoe Moathly for December.

THE CRUCIAL TEST.

The severe ycal tests which the various baking
powders have from to to time been placed have demon
straed clearly the public the relative merits OF the
different brands from scientific point Of view The Gov
ernment chemists instance have found in their official
tests that the Royal Baking Powder gave off the largest
amount Of eavening gas, and therefore the most
economical for general use They also found the Royal
be absolutely pure and the only baking powder that did
not contain either lime alum bone rock phosphate
For these they recommended it for Government
uses, and it is used in the War; Navy and Indian
departments.
But the crucial test of the kitchen is after all the
most satisfactory to the housekeeper baking powder
that fails to make light sweet wholesome and paat
able bread biscuit cake etc. is the that will be
selected by the practical housekeeper and received into her
kitchen for continuous This test the Royal Baking
Powder has stood for twenty years without failure
and hence its reputation the best baking powder made
has spread from house to house. until its has become
as universal as its merits are unrivaled.

Straw for Feed.

1t is good advice to give to save the
straw to feed to farm animals. But if the
straw were fed alone, it would not be
worth the saving. The potential feeding
value of cat straw is two-thirds that of
average meadow hay, pound for pound.
That of wheat straw is somewhat less. If
average meadow hay is worth So per ton,
then we may so feed oat straw as to make
it worth Sc per ton in actual results. But
when we feed oat straw alone, only one
third Of its food value is digested, or 81
per ton. The amount of food which the
animal must masticate and digest is so very
large compared with the nutriment it gets,
that it can make no gain, and we have moth
ing to show for the straw consumed. This
comes from the fact that in the straw the
carbohydrates are so far in excess, COM
pared with the albuminoids, that the ami
NAL can digest but small part of them.
The remedy is 10 feed with the straw
some feed or feeds having an excess of al
buminoids. In this way we may make the
actual feeding value of the straw equal TO
its potential value. Linseed cake,
cotton seed cake, wheat bran, brewers
grains, malt sprouts, peas, skinned
milk, and early cut clover, have
an excess of the albuminoids. If we cut
red clover Just at the beginning of bloom
and mix ton of this hay with ton of oat
straw, The albuminoids and carbohydrates
will be well balanced in the mixture

Can Animals l,ount9

Houzeau de la Hale tells of a pelican
living in fsherman's family in Santo
Domingo that was fed upon the refuse of
the fsh-cleaning. Looking for its food. it
went to the shore every day and waited
for the boats to come back. The fishermen
rested on Sunday, and the bird acquired so
clear notion of the return of that day,
when it had to fast, that it would not stir
from the tree on which it was accustomed
to spend its time. 1t is not necessary to
suppose that the pelican had learned to
count the six days at the end of which its
masters would not go fishing but while it
really estimated daily the time when it
must make its excursion to the shore, it
was informed of the return of Sunday by
observation of what was going on in the
house, as, for instance, by the fishermen
putting on their Sunday clothes; in the
same way as the dog knew when its mas
ter was going to hunt by seeing him
with his gun and game-bag. In such in
stances animals show that they have the
faculty of associating ideas, of observing
consecutive facts, and establishing a corel-
ative connection between them-things
which have been proved by abundance of
other evidence, and which demonstrate not
less intelligence than acquaintance with
the ten signs exposing the first ten num-
bers, or the use of system of numeration
to express larger numbers.-Mme. Gemence

a Sensation in q Sleeping Car,

The funniest incident of nv trip was in a
sleeping car. 1t was in the morning, when
most of the passengers had got out Of their
berths, and only several sets of curtains
were drawn tightly in front of still slum-
berous persons. Suddenly a foot was thrust
out between two curtains. 1t was small.
white and symmetrical-no more than a
feminine No. Sand the merest bit of
ankle in sight looked soft and fine. The
men glanced at it from the corners OF their
wicked eyes. The women deprecated the
exposure. Then a bold, brazen fellow
went right straight to the pretty foot,
grabbed the ankle and flung the whole
member rudely into the berth.
He wouldn't treat his bride so," said a
woman close by. 1t must be his sister,"
Then the head of 10-year old urchin
emerged where the foot had been, and a
sleepy, angry, boyish voice said "Look
here, Sam, you let me alone. Next time
you ketch hold of my foot that way Fll
kick the gizard out of you"
There was subsidence of sentimental
interest and visibility of mirth.-"G Gath"

Brick veneering for Frame Houses.

A construction detail that is gaining much
popularity in some Western cities is the
bricking in Of frame houses. The building
is sided up with matched stuff, as if COM
plete then a brick face wall four inches
thick is laid in contact with the exterior,
tied on by spikes about every sixth course.
A boy distributes them all around on top
of the wall. They are held in the mortar
bed ready, land driven through into the
siding till the heads are flush with the
face of the wall, when the next courses are
laid, and so on. The walls present the
appearance of solid masonry, are durable,
and, as they add to the warmth of the
buildings, seem to present substantial rec
concentrations, especially in severe eli
mates.-American Builder.
