A Shower Of Bugs.

The other morning when G. Bertram
climbed to the top Of the Kessing build
ing in Tulare, CAL, in order to measure
the rainfall, he found the entire roof COW
cred with what looked like grains oil
wheat. An examination showed that the
objects were bugs. Here and there among
them were large beetles. The small bugs
looked under the magnifying glass like
young grasshoppers, most of the legs be-
ing knocked off by the force with which
they struck the roof. The adjoining roofs
were covered in the same way, but the
rain Of bugs was not wide in its extent,
as visit to the roof on the Register
building failed to result in finding any
bugs. The insects are there yet and may
be seen by any one who will climb the
ladder. There are millions Of them and
it is strange sight.-.-NeO Yori Jour

Cultivation Of Liquorice.

The hcorce plant from which the
licorice of commerce is obtained will
thrive in any rich soil south OF the latl-
tudc of Washington. 1t is native OF
Southern Europe, but has long been
cultivated in England, where it appears
to thrive almost as we'll as in its native
country. Some thirty or more years ago
its cultivation was attempted on Long
Island, but the severe frosts OF winter
DESTROYED so many of the roots that the
plantations were dug up or abandoned.
Licorice is propagated by cuttings of the
roots and each cutting should have upon
it one or more buds. The cuttings are
usually about six inches long, and In
planting these are laid in the bottom OF O
shallow trench and covered with three OF
four inches of good rich soil. The rows
should be about four feet apart, to admit
of cultivation with n holsc hoe or culti-
vator. During the first season dwarf
beans. onions, carrots, or some similar
crop may be raised between the rows.
The second and third years the ground
should be given up to the liquorice
plants, which will require constant and
clean cultivation to prevent the growth
of weeds, for to ensure good crop OF
liquorice the soil must be very rich and
deep. European cultivators recommend
trenching the soil to depth of three feet
before planting the cutting, but on
naturally deep bottom lands this would
not be necessary, although in digging the
cron the soil would be worked over to
that depth, for the long, slender main
roots run very deep into the ground, then
strike off in horizont1l direction, run.
ming to great lengths. The roots are
oathered at the close of the third or
fourth season, and this operation is the
most expensive of all connected with the
cultivation of the plant On gathering
the crop a trench is opened alongside OF
the first row, aud as deep as the roots,
the soil being thrown aside and the roots
removed. Then proceed with the next
row in the same way, throwing the
ground removed into the trench opened
for the first row. The entire crop must
be taken out by this slow and laborious
process. ---Mp York Sun.

Elanir;citu Exercises Thieves.

The fact that the electric light has in
ficted a severe blow at the occupation
of the "midnight marauder" is now a
familiar one, and recent expression of
opinion on the subject OF protecting
houses against the depredations of house,
breakers has called special attention to
the means which are now available for
that purpose. The task of the cracks
man is becoming weary and compara-
lively proftless one, and it is easy to be-
lieve that the lament which is OCCASION
ally waited from his lips into the
columns of the daily paper, that "there
is now nothing in it," is uttered with
the utmost sincerity. At one time it was
a very easy matter for burglar to saw
through bar or cur pane OF glass, but
with the electrical appliances now being
used in many houses, and which are so
easily adjusted and so reliable in opera
ton, it is only question of time when nll
houses will be provided with them. The
slightest movement of door or window
after the alarm has been set will form
connection and start gong in distant
part OF the house. The alarm is thus
riven to the inmates, while the man, an-
conscious OF the fact, is busily occupied
in looking after the family silver. The
same connection that alarms the sleeper
may convey the alarm to the nearest
police station, so that by the time the
burglar gets through with his cngrossing
work he may find a couple OF policemen
outside patiently waiting his pleasure.
Not long ago an enthusiastic merchant in
Paris was so delighted with the working
of this form Of burglar alarm that he be-
came enamored of thief-catching as
sport. He cleverly spread stories OF the
boards of jewelry and valuable bric-a-
brac that were to be found in certain
rooms of his house, and the bait was an
irresistible one for the master cracksmen
of the city. The merchant bagged his
game very neatly several times, but at
last the story crept out, and his unique
sporting career came to a sudden end.
Screen doors as well as windows can be
providcd with the alarm fittings so that
the least attempt to make hole will
close the circuit and let the inmates of
the house know of the advent OF their
unlimited visitor. - Chicago NelcS.

Poison Of loads and saIamanders.

A recent microscopicll study by Herr
Schultz has revealed two kinds OF
elands-mucus and poison-in the skin
of toads and salamanders. The mucus
glands are numerous over the whole
body; but the poison glands are on the
back and limbs, in groups about the
ears. and, in the salamander, at the angle
of the jaw. The mucus glands are
spherical, and appear clear and CLASSY;
while the poison glands are oval, much
larger, and have a DARK granular look.
The mucus has no special smell, nor
bitter or acid taste. On stimulating the
poison glands electrically, the corrosive
LIQUID is spurted out by the salamander
in q fine jet, often foot long, but from
the toad it exudes less promptly, aud
sparingly in drops. - Trenton (N ~
