AN ELECTRIC FENCE.

How One Recently Put Up In New Mexico
Did It's Work.
Last week the finishing work was
dene=en the new thirty-m'fe electric
fence just put up by the United States
Electric Fence Company, under con-
tract with tho Tx ranch management.
The engine was turned loose and the
current was turned on for the entire
line, and since then and from this ON
she huns in beautiful shape = she
stands a system OF practical fencing
neither surpassed nor eQualed by any
other. 1t extends from a point about
two miles out to a point away out in
Carson County, beyond the Southern
Kansas road. and to say that the
management which grasped at once its
utility and had it built-vto say that
this management and the people
who have inspected it are pleased
would be mild expression. 1t is
simply one Of the wonders OF science.
and is q monument to its inventor.
On Saturday party had demonstra-

Of the fence stood some dozensor fifteen
steers, on the other stood one alone.
He undertook to break through and go
over to the majority. He had no idea
hewas tackling a buzz saw when he
struck that smooth wire fence. Well,
sir. he jumped like he was hit at once
by forty million hornets. and with his
tail coiled over his back he wheeled
and only struck the ground in high
places. Then the fifteen made dash
to join and follow him. One by one
they rubbed that electric fence. and as
fast as they did they jumped, bawled.
kicked, wheeled and sailed of as
though they had urgent business at
north pole, and only had a few hours
in which to make 1t. That electric
fence is stunner-it is the eighth and
greatest wonder OF the world. Not
one of these cattle was hurt. but not
one. Of them will go near that fence
again.

Some person with a taste for statist-

mously to support cumbersome Off.

people are gradually becoming very

eighty members who rccelve 81 900

TO PURIFY WATER.
Boiling the Most Reliable Process-Dan-
gcrs of Ordinary Filters.

Boiling the Most Reliable Process-Dan-
gers of Ordinary Filters.
Boiling sterilizes water and within
thirty minutes will have killed harm
full bacteria.
Drugs and other agents acting chem
icaffy, If used in amounts which are
commonly safe. do not sterilize water.
The prolonged heat which water
undergocs in the usual process OF dis
tillation destroy all germs which may
be in the water undergoing the pro-
cess.
The finer the substance through
which the water passes and the lower
the vpressure the more perfect is the
action OF the filter In holding back
bacteria.
Whore filtering is really necessary
1t is in general best for the community
that it be done carefully on a large
scale through sandbeds upon which a
fine layer OF organic and inorganic
matter is expressly produced by sedi-
mentation, because. of its valuable &C
ton in holding back the great major
ity of the bacteria.
A bad wator-filter is less desirable
than water in its natural state.
When, therefore, filtration is en-
ployed because OF real danger OF in
lection the water filtered should, as a
rule, be furthermore boiled. as the
entire absence of sediment and cloudi-
ness does not insure that the bacteria Of
disease may not have made their way
through the filter.
Ord ,nary filters, even II satisfactory
as strainers, fail toremove all bacteria
from drinking water So sfar from
Elessening the number in the original
water the filtering substance may
allow d more rapid multiplication than
these heterogeneous would ordi-
narily undergo in the unfittered water
on standing. and the germs Of disease,
even If held back by the filtering sub
stance, may be harbored In all filters.
OF all substances thus far furnished
for domestic filters porous rebaked

found to be the best. II thick and
strong enough to allow the use OF a
large surface, and the substance re-
mains perfect (without flaw or break.
this, may yield fair flow OF clear
water, free from all bacteria; yet
under ordinary Croton pressure OF one
atmosphere or less this yield is only
in rapid drops, unless the apparatus
be complex. To insure the perma-
nency OF this action the filter should be
occasionally sterilized throughout by
steaming or by other means; for under
prolonged pressure various kinds OF
bacteria can go through, and in the
copious organic matter collected. on
the filter some harmful micro-organ-
isms can retain high degree Of vital
ity for weeks longer than / have ever

DEATH TO oRAssHoppERs.
An Apparatus which Destroys the Insect,
BY tho Million.

An Apparatus which Destroys the Insects
by tho Million.
Consul Mason, OF Marseilles, writes
that the injury to the crops Of Algeria
by the grasshoppers last summer was
so serious that the Government has
provided the means for their destruc-
ton which has been so successfully
used by the English farmers in Cyprus.
He says:
The apparatus consists OF long
pieces Of cheap cotton cloth, a yard in
width, edged on one side with a strip
of oil-cloth six inches wide, and zach
provided with strings by which It can
be fastened to wooden stakes, When
an invasion OF the locusts is announced
trenches are dug at right angles with
the direction Of their approach. The
stakes are then driven in lines on the
side Of the trench from which the APP
proach is expected and the cloths
hung vertically. forming curtain
forty-two- to forty-four inches high,
fitting closely to the ground, and with
the oil-cloth edge uppermost. Be-
tween these curtains, at asintervals Of
two2hundred or three hundred yards,
open spaces are left two yards in width.
"The march. of the insects is in solid
phalanx, devouring every thing eat
able as they go. When they reach
the curtain the grasshoppers climb
readily to the point where they en-
counter the oil-cloth. On this they
slip and fall, and after several futile
attempts they attempt to clear the OBJ
struction at a jump. Such as succeed
fall into the trench on the further
side, and finding the ground barren OF
food usually make no attempt to go
further. The great majority fail to
jumpNover the curtain and seek to cir
cumyent 1t. They thus pour by
myriads through the openings. At
these points the ditch is made deep
md wide and the further slope COW
cred with sheets OF smooth zinc or tin
upon which they are unable to climb.
They are thus caught In masses,
beaten to death with large wooden
paddles, and their bodies used for
feeding hogs or for manure. In some
cases the hogs are turned into the
trenches to kill their own prey, but in
general the work is done by natives
.shod with large wooden sabots, with
which they trample the insects TO
death. IN. Y. Sun.

Traditions and Historical InFormntio
CONCERNING the Pin.

Traditions and Historical Information
Concerning the Pin.
Not the. modern pin. but dts less
delicate predecessor we hear OF in old
world tales. The Egyptians them
selves used something OF the kind, and
among the Romans, so the records say,
there were pins of bronze, with orna-
mented head, from one to eight inches
long; and, also they were made OF
ivory, bone or wood. In England, up
to the middle of the sixteenth century,
people made use OF skewers of wood
for this purpose, though there were
pins OF gold, silver and brass.
But it was not until about 1926 that
pin manufacture in England became a
settled thing. In 1883. that such an
industry might best be fostered, the
Importation OF pins was prohibited by
public. statute. But the law became
very much OF dead letter, and as
late as 1850 there is evidence that at
least one OF the royal family was in
the habit Of receiving her pins from
France. For at that time very large
proportion OF those OF English manu-
facture were made OF iron wire,
blanched or whitened, and passed of
as the good quality brass pin. Three
years later this act was declared:
No person shall put to sale any pinnes but
only such as shall be double-headed, nd have
the heads soldered fast to the shank OF the
pinnes, well smoothed, the shanks well sharpen.
the points well and round fled cauted and
sharpcned.
To-day England is the greatest pin
making country in. the world. Its pro-
ducts Is something like fifty billion
pins year. and Birmingham is the
center, with an outturn Of 81, 900, 000.-
600. There are made the pins Of the old
trade marks and the great regulations,
