The great monsters Of mechanical
skill and genius call Tor the sacrifice Of
q great deal OF hte and limb IN tLeir
construction. The greater the eugi-
neerIug feat, tie more extensive is the
loss OF life.
In the construction Of the Eiffel
Tower, for Instance, tweuty-siX lives
were lost, according 10 the official Ie-
turns Of the French government, but
It Is said that this number would lie
largely augmented IL the names were
given Of men who died from injuries
received during the construction of the
tower and of others who were killed
and whose deaths were not reported,
owing TO the hue-and-cry which was
raised after the first two dozen lives
had been sacrificed on the great struct-
uTe. The number of men who were
injured during the construction Of the
Eiuel Tower has been placed at 5000.
This enormous showing Is accounted
FOR by the fact that every injury was
reported aud registered which received
treatment from the official surgeons
When a man bruised his finger, he
went to a government surgeon to have
II dressed, and "A clumsy workman thus
got on the list a dozen OF two times a
year. Serious injuries were = very
small proportion of the whole. On tile
great Forth Bridge in Scotland, "A list
pf forty lives lost has been published,
but there "a no record of injuries.

SCIENTIFIC.

Modern Light and Heat says there is
another electrical industry to be estao-
lished at West Lynn, Mass, for the
manufacture or welded shells. The
Thomson Electric Welding Company is
pressed beyond its capacity in the de-
mand for welding machines, which
will he used extensively in the new en-
terprise. The government has ALREADY
given an order for 100000 shells for
the Hotchkiss gun and Shrapnel shells
as soon as facilities for their manufac-
ture, under the patent Of Lieutenant
Wood, u. ). N, are ready. BY the
new process the shells, instead of being
made of cast iron and boxed as for
merly, are made by welding the chilled
point and butt to a section of soft iron
pipe, and, In the case of Shrapnel shells,
the trouble of graduating the thickness
with calipers, after boring and adjust
ing the delicately posed diaphragm be-
tween the powder and the bullets, Is
greatly diminished.

Al recent meeting OF the British
Association at Newcastle, Lord Arm-
strong related a wonderful incident,
which illustrates the laws of diffusion
OF electric currents through conduc-
tors. A bar of steel about foot long,
which lie WAS holding in his hand, was
allowed accidentally to come in contact
with the two poles of dynamo in action.
He instantly felt painful sensation of
burning, ard he let the bar drop. He
found his fingers, where they had been
IN contact with the bar, severely blis-
tered. The bar was found Immediately
afterwards TO be quite cold. This
proved the outer surface of the steel to
have been intensely heated, and that
not enough heat was generated sensibly
TO warm the whole bar; in other words,
that an exceedingly high temperature
existed for an exceedingly short time in
al exceedingly thin skin of metal.

FARM NOTES.

THINNING APPLEs.-The following
advantages are given by a successful
orchardist of thinning the apples on
heavy bearing trees while the fruit is
small: 1l You get rid of the knOtty
and wormy apples before they have
grown long enough to occupy the places
of better ones. (2) You thus destroy,
before they can increase, the insects IN
such as are stung by the circulio and
infested by the codlIng worm. (3l The
best ones being left, they have plenty of
room TO grow into large, fine, salable
specimens. a. You are not obliged TO
gather twice as many small ones, the
labor of picking depending on number
and not on size. (5l The bad ones are
removed in time at less than half the
labor required for hand picking when
they become large. (O) You avoid
much labor IN asserting the gathered
crop and in separating the scabby and
knurly from the best fruit. 90 The
moderate crop which is allowed togrow
will exhaust the trees less than the heavy
crop OF poor and seedy specimens. He
thinks that to allow all the poor and
worthless apples TO grow Is Ike the
practice of the farmer who would per
NIT all coarse weeds to grow in his
corn, to be assorted from his grain after
harvesting.

All rivers and small streams are visi-

All rivers and small streams are visi-
bly, smaller than they We're twenty five
years ago. Country brooks in which
men now living were accustomed TO
fish and battle in their boyhood have,
i'll many cases, totally disappeared in
consequence of the failure of springs
and rains which once fed them. The
level of the great lakes is falling year
by year. There are many piers on the
shores of lakeside cities which vessels
once approached with ease, but which
now reach the waters edge. HaTbOT
surveyors will tell you that all harbors
are shallower than they We're even a
decade ago. This is not due TO the grad
ual deposit of earth brought down by
rivers as some may suppose, nor to the
refuse from city sewers. The haTbOT
of Toronto has already ceased to be of
use. despite the fact that 1t has been
dredged out TO the permanent bottom
rock.

Drowned SANDWICHES - Spread
each slice OF bread with chopped meat,
cover with a slice Of bread, and press
together Proceed in this manner un-
til all the meat and bread are used, and
cut each sandwich in halves. Place
them on plate AMI pour over them an
egg beaten smooth with tWO-thirds Of
a coffee cup of milk, and let stand a
couple of hours, or till the custard is
absorbed. Put a generous tablespoon
full Of butter on a large frying pan, and
when il begins TO brown place the sand
wiches carefully upon 1t. When nicely
Drowned add little more butter and
turn them, letting them brown quickly
on the other side. Serve as soon as

fast dish, and may lie used to advan-
tage to ''help out" "A scanty dinner.

dom: 1t does not pay TO borrow money

an old truth that ian acre of land has
no limit to its productive capacity" 8"
The true farmer prefers small farm

on two acres will give better results if
applied TO one acre, while the cost Of
tillage will be less. No farmer can af-
ford to buy more land until lie has
brought up that already in his posses
