But One Elementary Substance.

Analogy forbids us to believe that,
down to certain limit of dimension
that we call molecules, the constitu-
ton of matter is of wholly different
sort from that which appears on sub
dividing the molecules. 1t is an equal
ly incredible assumption that all atoms
of the same element are so many indie
pendent creations exactly alike in
every respect. Then, as our knowledge
increases, the distinctions between the
chemical elements are becoming less
marked and their relations to each
other more intimate. They are begin
ming to appear, not as isolated units,
but as links in complex network,
which presents an unbroken continuity
throughout. The recent study of the
rarer earths leaves us in doubt
whether we have an indefinite number
of elements, or only one under unnum-
bered manifestations; and the later re-
suits of spectrum analyses seem to in
dictate quite clearly that, at the high
temperatures of the sun and the fixed
stars, many of our terrestrial elements
are decomposed. From a mathematic-
al analysis of the spectra. Grunwald
maintains-and supports his conclu-
sion by remarkable array of confirm
atory measurements-that the remark
able solar spectrum line called helium.
and the equally wellmarked line of
the suns corona, come from two con-
stituents of hydrogen gas, the first of
which is somewhat heavier and the
last far lighter than hydrogen gas

The Holly Tree.

Although the holly is one of the most
beautiful of our evergreen plants, it is
comparatively rare that it is found do
mesticated and adjoining the lawns
either of our suburban villas or the
grounds of more extensive and remote
country places. Many forest compan-
ions of the holly have been removed
from their parent soil and made to
flourish in all their original vigor and
beauty near the abodes of men: but it
has, for the most part, maintained its
wild state of savage freedom, and in
general is only to be seen in its full
glory in the spots where 1t has been
planted by natures own hand. This
apparent neglect of a plant, which is
second to none of the evergreens In its
ornamental character, is due to no want
of aesthetic appreciation on the part of
arboriculturists, but to the belief which
generally prevails, among amateur
gardeners at least, that the holly will
not bear transplanting, and will Ian
guish and die when removed from its
native soil. Many country gentlemen
and farmers have made the attempt
only to fail, and the failures have been
so frequent as to discourage many
others who would have been happy to
adorn their grounds with this healthy,
wholesome tree which, with its sugges-
tions Of the Christmas season of good
will, seems, as it stands amid the win
ter snow, with it's red berries and

AfRICA's GREAT FORESTS.
Tho Vast Timber Region Through Por-
tion of which Stanley Passed.


The great forest through which Stan
ley recently passed, which he esti-
mated to cover DAG, 900 square miles, is
only n small part of the great African
forest which extends almost unbroken-
ly from the west coast In the Gaboon
and Ogowe regions. with a width OF
several hundred miles, to the great
lakes. This belt of timber, trendihg
away to the heart of the continent in a
direction little south of east, is the
greatest forest region in the world, ac-
coiding to the New York Sun A part
of il strikes south of the Congo at the
great northern bend of that river, and
the country embraced within the big
curve is covered with compact forest,
the towering and wide-spreading trees
shutting out a large part of the sun
light.
In these forests, completely shut out
from the rest of the world, live hun
dreds of thousands of people who are
almost unknown to the tribes living IN
the savanna region outside. Scattered
through the big woods within the Con-
go bend are little communities of Batwa
dwarfs, of whose existence the traveller
has no inkling until he suddenly comes
upon them. Here also, along the San
kuru River, are the tree inhabitants
described by DR.. Wolf, where the ma
tives live in huts built among the
branches to escape the river floods. 1t
was in great clearings made in these
forests that Kund and Tappenbeck dis
covered some of the most notable vii
lagos yet found in Africa, where we'll
built huts, with gable roofs, line both
sides of a neatly kept street that
stretches away for eight or nine miles
These villages are even more interest
ing than the street towns In the more
sparsely timbered regions south of
them, which were regarded as very
wonderful when they were first discov-
cred by Wissmann. 1t was his account
of these villages that led Bishop Taylor
to choose this part of Africa as the goal
he wished to reach.
Last year the Commercial Company,
which is investigating the trade re-
sources of the Congo, sent its steamer,
the Roi DIES Belges, up the Ikatta River
into this great timber land, and the eX-
plorers described the country along
the banks as covered with an almost
impenetrable virgin forest. 1t is a
veritable ocean of verdure, from which
energies here and there a wooded
mountain" Greenfell penetrated the
forest for long distances on several
southern tributaries of the Congo, and
on the upper courses of these rivers he
sometimes found the wide-spreading
branches forming complete roof above
the stream.

unm 10 Kill Reere..

An animal is best killed with a rifle ball
shot midway Of a line drawn from one eye
to the opposite horn, says the American
Agrculturst but it may be killed by
blow on the same spot with a sedge ham
mer or the head of an ak, first hlindtold
ing the animal As soon as it falls cut
cash square across the throat back of the
jaws, deep enough to reach the spinal col
umn. The animal may he run up at once, or
not until the entrails are removed. as may
he preferred. Cut the hide from the throat
along the brisket and central line of the
belly, between the thighs to the tail and
from this cut along the inside Of the legs
Take off the fore legs at the joint, and the
hind ones three inches below the hook
joints If the animal is on the ground re
move the hide from the upper side of the
carcass to the back bone then turn the
animal over and skin the other side If
the animal is hung up begin above and
work down Be careful not to cut any
gashes in the hide. Use the thumbs wher
ever it is practicable to do so. To remove
the entrals is not difficult. Open along
the middle of the belly and brisket, cut
ting from in outward, running the fingers
along ahead of the knife through the belly
The animal should have had nothing TO eat
for twelve hours before it is killed Its en-
trails will not then be distended and the
carcass will cool better. As soon as the
entrails are out, wash the inside thoroughly
with cold water, using a cloth where neces-
sary to take off blood Stretch the slit in
the belly open by setting in short sticks to
keep the carcass open and facilitate cool
ing As soon as the carcass has cooled, di
vide it in halves by splitting the back bone,
working from the inside, First cut through
the flesh and then saw through the bone.
Do not cut bones-saw them.

furnish a market for the surplus beans Of
Spain and Italy, yet we can grow them in
nearly all sections. The crop is a proiita-

Bran is the best grain food, and ground

The work Of Matching chicks is usually
deferred until after the winter has passed
and warmer weather appears, but the larg

extra care required during severe weather,
but it is the labor that is really paid for
when the chicks are sold Remove all OBJ

would be greater than the demand with

must be considered that to realize the high

But much of the labor of raising early
broilers may be saved by making proper
arrangements. 1t is not proposed here to
