To Put Out Theatre Fires.


The protection of theatres from injury
by fire has taxed the ingenuity of in
ventors ever since playhouses were first
constructed, and all kinds of devices
have been tried to provide for the safety
of audiences, with more or less success
Last night an exhibition was given in
Mason street Of an apparatus invented
by District Engineer ]. w. Reagan,
whose headquarters are at the house Of
Engine 26, which promises far to excel
anything of the kind ever adapted to the
uses of the stage. 1t is very simple in
its construction, being what might be
termed brass nozzle, formed like the
burner of an ordinary kerosene lamp,
with three apertures two and one-half
inches across.
Through these apertures (which in a
lamp would contain the wick) fan shape
streams of water can be elected to a
height of about seventy feet and of a
width nearly as great. This contrivance
will be first placed in the fremont thea.
tire. One will be placed Immediately
under the proscenium arch, and that
alone will be sufficient to throw a spray
of water SO dense as to prevent the fiercest
fire from passing through it, as it will
completely cover the whole space occu
pied by the front of the stage. Fol
more perfect protection there will bt
one placed on each side of the proscen
ium arch, about half way from the flool
of the stage to the top of the proscenium

in as many different directions across
the stage it is believed that it will be {

across it.-Boston Herald.

Private letters from Vienna convey
the intelligence, undoubtedly authen-
tic, that the Austrian court is exert
ing every possible endeavor to con-
ceal the actual condition of the en-
peror and empress. Both are repre-
sented to be in the last stages of men
tai decay, and incidents are related
which bear out the extreme probable
ity Of these assertions. The malady
affecting the imperial pair is, when
ever it is thought safe to speak of it,
ascribed to excess of grief at the death
of the late Crown Prince Rudolph,
but common belief credits the cause
to circumstances very much more
remote and of an entirely different
character.

Dehorning Cattle.

Prof. Albert E. Menke, director of
the agricultural experiment stations
of the Arkansas Industrial Univer
sity, has issued his first annual report,
which is certainly one of the most in
teresting that have yet appeared UNI
der the provisions of the Hatch bill.
Among other things experiments on
dehorning cattle have been tried m
der Professor Menke's direction, and
the following conclusions are given:
1. The operation requires some
care, but is not difficult or danger
Gus.
2. The wounds heal favorably as a
rule, although in exceptional cases,
and when the operation is improperly
performed, continued suppuration and
chronic inflammation may ensue and
seriously interfere with the heath of
the animal.
3. In cases that progress normally,
from three to four month may be Civ
en- as the time which elapse before
complete healing occurs.
4. When amputated at the proper
place, the horns do not return.
5. The constitutional disturbance
is not severe, and is manifested by a
slight and temporary rise of tempera-
ture, with probably, in most cases,
a slight decline in weight and milk
secretion, lasting over the first week
or so.
6. The quality of the milk is not
injuriously affected.
Z. The operation must be consider
ed painful, but there is no evidence
that the pain is excessive after the
operation is over.
On calves we conclude that
l. The operation is less painful than
in adults.
9. When removed as above direct
ed, the horns do not return.
3. There is little constitutional dis
turbance manifested.
4. When the animal is healthy the
wounds heal favorably in about six
weeks or two months.

A well known Philadelphia bust
ness man took part payment for bad
debt two years ago the title to lead
mine in Southern Colorado. He took
the mine because he could not get
anything else to show for his $4,000.
The mine was neglected until eight
months ago, when some properties
near it "panned out" well and the
Philadelphia began to investigate
his own property. He went to Colo
RADIO, formed a company, and last De-
tober began to work the mine. Be
fore Christmas it had paid him over
$40, 900 and since then his dividends
have averaged about 81, 900 a month.

The smallest screws in the world
are those used in the production of
watches. The fourth jewel wheel
screw is the next thing to being in
visible, and to the naked eye it looks
like dust. With glass, however, it
is seen to be a small screw, with 260
threads to the inch, and with good
glass the threads may be seen quite
clearly. An ordinary lady's thimble
would hold 100000 of these screws.

Use Brains as Well as Muscle.


The National Farmer reports po-
tato-grower as saying that twelve
years ago he started out with the
ambitions of young farmer. He
practiced general farming and did
all the work he could do. He soon
found out his mistake. Failing
health and stiff joints were the result
of this mistake. But failure often
teaches is better lesson than success.
He finally took Prof. Roberts's adj
vice and did more brain work and less
muscular labor, and as result con-
cluded to make a speciality of one
line-potatoes. He buys no manure,
but plows under clover as a fertili-
ger, and has no trouble to preserve
the fertility of his farm in that way.
He insists on the importance of work
ing the ground up loose and deep,
and planting in deep burrows. He
observes that the tubers grow on
that part of the stalk between the
old seed and where the stalk first
breaks through the ground. Hence
the Importance of deep planting to
afford room for young sets on the
vines. After planting, which he does
with the pillow, he harrows the ground
thoroughly to keep down the weeds,
and after the potatoes are up he cult
Yates with a light draft pillow. Of
course a hoe is never used in his po-
tato field. He also observed that
the white grub attacks the crop every
third year. To avoid these ravages
plant this third year on stubble
ground. He believes that the fun
gus growth that caused rot begins on
the vines and works downward to the
tuber. He was strengthened in this
belief by an experience with frosted
vines. The potatoes did not rot
where the vines had been killed by
frost, but in the same field where the
frost did not reach the tubers did rot.
He mixes one pound of Paris green
with 100 or $50 pounds of plaster, as
an insecticide for bugs. He goes
ovor the field with this and sift. on
as little as possible.
He thinks that digging costs too
much, and has not been able to find
a satisfactory digger. With such a
one he could raise potatoes at cost
of ten cents bushel. He uses crates
for picking, and thinks that they save
time and labor. He would sort in
the field and draw direct to the cellar
to save future handling. Finally, he
would recommend selling when the
crop will bring an average price. If
held for fancy prices the grower be-
comes a speculator.

Several nights ago COL Jerry Spill

French comedian, and expected to see

Sowing Glover.

When land is thoroughly well pre-
pared and made perfectly fine there
is no need for rolling it after sowing
clover. 1t is good practice to SOW
the seed by itself on the fresbly-har-
rowed and finished surface immedi-
atty after the harrowing and it will
very soon get covered by the settling
of the soil. 1t is the writer's practice
to do this, and two days after the
seed had been sown an examination
showed that almost every seed had
been covered by the settling of the
small burrows left by the smoothing
harrow. If, however, the sowing is
delayed, the seed should be lightly
narrowed in.
