Petroleum, which has been used for
some time in connection with raising
steam, is now rapidly coming into
vogue for heating, melting and the
working Of metals. For these pur-
poses some other medium besides
steam must be resorted TO for breaking
up the oil, and after devices without
number have been tried, the use of air
under more or less pressure remains
the most satisfactory. BY this means
wagon tires one-half 10 one and a half
inches are welded in one minute, and
car axles, which with coal required
one hour and a quarter 10 heat, are
heated in thirty-five minutes. AT one
furnace alone the saving by the use
Of oil is said TO be $40. 40 per day, and
another company puts its saving In
fuel at 60 per cent. One OF the great
advantages Of this mode of heating ID

The TOothsome Maine Crustacean Out
of and in the "POt."
Along the Maine coast Holsters are
caught during ten months in the year
In August and September the law does
not allow them to be disturbed and
then the young Holsters are Matched and
get start in life The law continues
to protect them up to certain age, OF
rather till they reach certain size, and
Holsters of doubtful years are measured
by stick ten and half inches long
before they are sent to the market.
Lobsters are not caught with hook
and line, nor with fish-net, but with
curious contrivance called spot" A
dozen pots heaped together on the sand
or rocks-where the fishermen leave
them when not in use-would attract
your attention. There is nothing that
can think OF that would give you an
idea of the shape OF lobster pot ex-
cept barrel cut in halves the long
way. 1t is made of Stats and the two
rounded ends are filled with rope
netting, with hole in the center for
the lobster to go in. He sinks to the
bottom of the pot, and can not reach
the opening again to get out. A piece
of fresh fish, cod or halibut, is fastened
inside the pot for bait A long rope is
attached to the pot and two bricks
placed in it for sinkers, and
it is set down into the water
till it reaches the sandy bottom
of the sea. In the summer, when the
Holsters stay near the shore. the pots
are placed very near the land, but in
winter they are let down thirty or forty
or fifty feet deep. A billet of wood is
tied to the end of the rope and floats on
the surface of the water, and this tells
the location of the lobster pot Several
pots together forma ground" and tn
owner visits it every day. Sometimes
twelve or fifteen Holsters will be wait
ing and sometimes only one. II the
Holsters are to be sent some distance t6
be sold they are transferred to largo
fat box made of stats called crib)
that floats in the water The fisher,
man keeps the Holsters here until he
has enough to send away, and then he
packs them in barrels with bits OF sea-
weed and ice. The lobster begins tc
end his career when he glides into the
pot to dine on fresh fish. He spends 3
few days in the car with his comrades,
and then journeys to the city and is ex-
nibited in the market His next posi-
tion is SO embarrassing that he changes
color. and il his surroundings had not
already caused his death the lobster
would finally expire with amazement
at seeing his career closed in bed Of
lettuce leaves. Alice NJ. Kellogg, in
Treasure Trove.

the members OF group Of wooing
cranes will parade themselves in this
way. and then advance IN pairs and
double pairs, threes, single file, and in
all sorts of combinations, and will give
the appearance to tho spectator of act
ually going through the figures Of some
intricate dance. As the exercises are
prolonged the cranes become excited to
the pitch Of frenzy, and jump and leap
and comfort themselves until one by one
they become exhausted, and lie painting
on the ground until sufficiently re-
freshed to again join in the fantastic
proceedings
Sometimes these exercises will con-
tinue for hours, varied by frequent
fights between rivals, which are so des-
perate and savage that it is no uncom-
mon thing for one or the other of the
contestants to be killed in the combat
Sometimes the female. after putting
the wooers to long and severe test OF
their powers, will deliberately rise and
fly away, but usually she makes a
choice from the contestants. That
choice is always followed by fight,
one or more of the disappointed wooers
being sure to pitch into the favorite.
But then he will have the aid of the
female, who will fight for him as des.
perately as any of the males can fight.
If the pair find themselves too hard
pressed by the others they will beat a
retreat and fly away together, some
times followed by the others, who con-
tinue the fight in midair. IN. Y. Sun.

Successful Understanding. !.

I. A. Stanley related at a meeting oil
the Connecticut Board of Agriculture,
an experiment performed on piece OF
land which he obtained for 500 an acre.
1t was plowed, manured and sowed to
corn fodder. 1t received the usual cul-
tivation, but the moist soil prevented
the work from being done in the best
manner. There was not half crop.
hardly enoughto pay for the labor ltlay
idle one season, and was underdrained.
1t was sown last year to ensilage corn.
The draining had already done much
good, that although naturally wet, this
land could already be worked much
sooner after rain than any other part
OF the farm. high or low. ''At har-
vest said Mr.. Stanley. ''such field
of corn | never saw. Evenly through
out the whole field planted with corn
fodder. When it reached maturity. all
she corn was foot higher over and
near the drain than in the west Of the
field. Mr.. S. says that draining has
more than paid ten per cent on the
sum it has cost Our own experiments
have told better story. Of the many
miles OF tile-draining which we have
laid, the whole cost has been paid with
in three years BY the increase Of crops.

A Good WAY to XIII Flies.

A Louisville druggist accidentally
discovered that the insect powder is Of
almost as rapid combustion as gun
powder, though the flame lives several
seconds. Bya further investigation he
discovered that a portion of the powder,
thrown from the bellows through the
fame OF lighted match held six
inches away, produced the required
fame and was capable of destroying
flies by the million. He, therefore,
puts out some bait for them every
morning. When they have collected
in sufficient numbers he gets his pow
der and match, and the work OF de-
structlon is sure and swift BY this
means all the flies in the store can be
destroyed in few minutes, and their
aayed remains are dumped into tho

How little made me glad when was youngl
SO little makes me happy now I'm old;
Your hand IN mine, dear heart, here by the

The children grown into our hearts desire
How little keeps us happy when we're oldl
And yet between the little then and now,
What worlds Of life, of thought and fceling
keen
What spiritual depths and heights unseen

Then we rush onward through the changing

Testing the gamut OF all smiles and tears,
Till mighty things seem little; we are old.
