Uniting Aluminium With Glass.

Bradford McGregor, the mechanical
expert of Cincinnati, Ohio, has succeeded
after numerous experiments in uniting
aluminium with glass, and he claims to
be the first who has done SO. A large
piece of aluminium with a glass tube in
the centre was turned in his lathe and +
was impossible to detect the slightest
flaw or joint where they came together.
In fact. it appears as one solid mass.
heretofore, no metal could be made to
unite with glass in which the contrac-
ton and expansion were the same, and
1t Is claimed this will create a rev olution
IN the way of reducing the cost of mean
descent lights as it will take the place of
platinum, which costs 1920 3 pound.
While the new discovery will not cost $40.

Frozen COO Feet Deem.

For many years scientists have been
perpiexed over the phenomenon of q GER
tain we'll at Yaeutsk, Siberia. As long
ago as 1925 a Russian merchant began to
sink this noted we'll, AMI after working
on i; three years gave it up as a bad job,
having at that time sunk it to a depth of
thirty feet without getting through tho
frozen-sround. He communicated these
facts to the Russian Academy Of Science,
who sent men to take charge of the dig
gin5 operation at the wonderful we'll.
These scientific gentlemen toiled away at
their work for several years, but at last
abandoned it when a depth of 382 feet
had been reached with the earth still
frozen as hard as q rock. In 1874 the
academy had the temperature of the soil
at the sides of the we'll taken at various
depth. From the data thus obtained
they came - the startling conclusion that
the ground was frozen to adepth exceed
ing 600 feet. Although it is known to
me~teorologists that the pole Of the low
est known temperature Is in that region
of Siberia, it is conceded that not even
that rigorous climate could force frost TO
such a great depth below the surface.
After figuring on the subject for over a
quarter of century geologists have at last
come tC the conclusion that the great
frozen valley Of the Lena River was de.
posted, frozen just as it is found to-day,
during th& great grinding up era of the
glacial epoch.-Chiea3o Herald.

/ will give your readers the mode Of
corn and pea culture that l have adopt
ed for the last two years, and which l
have found the most successful way
that have ever tried. l plant my corn
on a fiat bed about four feet and a half
apart. If the land is foul, / open the
beds with small bull-tongue, and drop
the corn about foot apart, one grain
in a place, and cover with two small
bull-tongues on a adouble-stock, by strad-
ling the furrow, and knock off lightly
with board just before the corn
comes up. If the land has been
in cotton the previous year, |
cover with board. When the corn
gets up big enough to plow, run
around with double stock. with a
small left-handed negro-foot or square
pointed bull-tongue, on front foot, and
small straight shovel behind. With
this left-handed negro-foot next to the
corn, | can get very close to it without
covering it. One can be very easily
made, by heating right-handed one,
and turning the crook the other way.

shovels and twelve-inch heel sweep

heel sweep in front next to corn, that
is, heel sweep or scrape with the left

DEEP SEA FISHING.
New Means Os Securing Enormous
Quantities of Fish.

New Means os Securing Enormous
Quantities of Fish.
Plentiful as anglers are and success
ful as they are with rod and line, TAX
ing even newspaper accounts of their
success as true, the fish taken with
sporting tackle would go but very lit
tie way toward feeding our people with
fish. The great bulk of the fish are
caught by commercial fishermen, who
use nets of one kind or another, or
quantities of hooks on lines without
pretense of rod or pole. The failure of
this kind of fishing does not alarm the
sportsman, nor does an increase in it
cause him joy, but everything which re-
lates to it is of great interest, neverthe-
less. Commercial fishing in the sea is
confined almost entirely to the ''off-
shore banks, - where cod, haddocle and
halibut are taken, but the United
States fish commission has opened ten
thousand square miles of new fishing
grounds, by discoveries made with the
beam trawl. The commission aver that
a great shelf in the Atlantic, from the
'banks" to Virginia, swarm with fishes
unknown to our market, simply because
no suitable method has heretofore been
applied to their capture. The inporta-
ton of the beam t-awl has brought
about change in this respect. The
lemon sole highly priced in European
markets, have been almost unknown in
our markets, although the commission
has demonstrated that they were to be-
had off our coast for the catching. One
of the first schooners 50 try the beam
trawl caught in the trawl over ten tons
of lemon sole and threw them over
board, not knowing that they were
salable, and afterward caught five thou
sand more, which the captain brought
in and sold. 1t is estimated that this
schooner caught two hundred and forty
tons of fisl, with the beam trawl in a
few days. The catches were so great
that it was with the utmost difficulty
that the trawl was handled. This is a
brief statement as a slight index of the
work that is constantly being done bv
the national fish commission. Shooting
