A Vegetable Compass
ton.

The compass plant grows in the prair.
les of Western North America, sad, as
its name indicates, is OF great value to
the wanderer. 1t is a dwarf variety OF
the osler, is perennial, attaius usuilIy a
height of three feet six inches, au | has
head of yellow flowers. The hello il
renders the traveller arises from the facs
that the long leaves at the base OF to,
stem, which are placed, not aat as in
plants generally, but ia vertical posi-
tion, present their edges north aud south
The peculiar propensity Of the foliage OF
this plant is attributed to the fact that
both surfaces of its leaves display an
equal receptivity for light. All the Other
known varieties of its class are character
lied by the presence on the lowei sar
face of their leaves of from twice tC
thrice as many respiratory vessels as ara
contained on the upper surface, which
is therefore the most sensitive of the twt
to the influence Of light. But both sur.
faces of the compass plant are c'othe
alike. with an epidermis exceptionally
receptive Of light, and the same instincI
of its leaves that prompts them to require
an equal distribution of liglt upon
either surface causes them to assume d
vertical position, and to point their edges
due north and south. Travellers on dara
nights are said to feel the edges of th'
leaves, to ascertain the points OF ta
compass, when no means are available fo
helping them on their way.-st. Louu

Eve Measurements.
Magazine

A good mechanical eye is an almost
essential requisite in a good mechanic,
saws the Manufacturers Gazette. No one
can ever attain distinction as a mechanic
unless he is able to detect ordinary i'm
projections at sight, so that he can see
if things are out of plumb, out Of level,
out of square, and out Of proper shape,
and unless he can also detect dispropor-
toned or ill shaped patterns. This is
great mechanical attainment, and one
which can be readily attained by any
ordiLary person. OF course there are de-
fective eyes, as there are other defective
organs; the speech, for instance, is
sometimes defective, bit the eye is sus-
ccptible Of the same training as any
organ. The muscles, the voice, the
sense of hearing, all require training.
Consider how the artist must train the
organ Of sight in order to detect the
slightest imperlection in shade, color,
proportion, shape, expression, etc. Not
one blacksmith 10 five ever attains tho
art CT hsmmering square, yet it is very
essential In his occupation. 1t is simply
because he allows himself TO get into
caroless habits; little training and care
is all that is necessary for success.

Miles and Miles of Salt.

One Of the natural curiosities Of Asis
is the Great Salt Desert OF Persia, which
covers a large territory about seventy
miles south of Teheran. G. E. Bid
dulph, who recently visited this place,
says that Darya-i-Namak is an extensive
tract of ground, sloping on all sides
toward the centre, covered with an in
crustation Of solid salt several feet thick
in most places, while in some parts it is
of unknown depth. According to Gold
thwaite's Geographical Magazine, it must
have taken many centuries to form. As
he saw it from the mountain top it
stretched away for many miles, appear
ing like a vast frozen lake. 1t extended
as far as the eye could reach toward the
south and west aud glstened in the sun
like sheet of glass.
Hi, party finally approached the mar
gin Of the salt plain and decided to cross
it. They found swampy ground for
mile or so and then entered upon the
sheet Of salt itself Near the edge the
incrustation was thin aud the salt sheet
was soft, sloppy and mixed with earth.
At distance OF .hree or four miles from
the edge the salt looked like solid ice as
it is seen on any pond in northern latti-
tudes the during winter. The surface
was not quite level but resembled that
of ice which had partially thawed and
then frozen again after a slight fall of
snow. Of the solidity of this incrusta.
ton there could be no doubt, for can.
els, hcrses and mules were travelling over
it without a vibration of any kind being
perceptible.
After marching for about eight miles
upon this unusual surface the party
halted to examine its composition. They
tried, by means of hammer and an iron
tent peg, to break of a block of salt to
carry away as specimen. The salt,
however, was so very hard that they
could make no impression upon it. They
managed at last in another place to chip
off a lot of fragments which were OF tbs
purest white. In two or three days they
had absorbed so much moisture that they
became soft and slatey blue in color.

Carrier Pigeons at the Fair.

One of the interesting features Of the
live stock exhibit at the Worlds Fair will
be the liberation Of large numbers of
homing pigeons, exhibited by breeders
from all parts of the country. Breeders
of these pigeons are anxious for a con-
test at the fair. George w. Childs, Of
Philadelphia, is interested in the contests,
a1d has offered a prize, under certain
conditions, which will encourage the
training of birds for the fair. Many
other prizes have been promised.
Among the large number of sugges.
tions as to the show some fanciers sug-
gest that messenger lofts be established
on the exposition grounds and at outly-
ing points; that birds be sent out with
messages at regular hours; these mes
ssges to be on souvenir paper aud in
tended as mementos. The lofts to have
birds for hire; also birds for use from
inaccessible points, such as by parties
out on the lake desiring some rapid CON-
munication with the land.
Pigeon flying is more than a fancy and
has been made useful means Of com
muuication, especially in times OF war.
Their utility as agents in war was first
demonstrated during the Franco.Prussian
campaign of 1870 and 1871. Sixty-four
balloons belonging to the French crossed
the Prussian lines carrying with them
$50 pigeons; of that number 3O2 were
sfterward sent back to Paris, and des-
pite the efforts Of the enemy to destroy
the aerial messengers ninety eight re.
turned to their cotes, seventy-fve OF
them carrying microscopic messages.
These pigeons conveyed into the French
capital 10000 official dispatches aud
1 200, 900 private ones, reduced By the
photo-nicrographic process. Germany,
Italy ana other powers have since estab-
lished military dovecotes and take great
interest in the breeding. The speed rec
ord at present is 325 miles 10 329 min.

Ne Hal 1850 Suckers.

Mr. Edwards, the taxidermist, has re-
ceived large octopus, which was captuI ID
off Old Town by some fishermen. The
creature weighed over sixty pounds, and
had arms three feet eight inches in
length. On each of its eight tentacles
or arms there were 800 suckers, making
n Grand total of 1850. The octopus had
attached itself to fish hooked on a
trawl. and was drawn up with it. The
same firm has also received a young al
bino deer. a buck, shot on Windby
Island. 1t has two-pronged horns, and
is supposed to be about two years old.
The natural color for fawn is brown,
with white spots, but the color OF this
one is white with brown spots. A doe
was shot on the island some time ago, so
that it is thought that there must be al
bino b,ood in the deer on the island.
The doe was secured by Mr.. E lwards
some time ago aud now the pair are to
be exhibited in some of the shop win
dows down town. The deer skins are
comparatively easy to preserve, but no
better means OF preserving the devil fish
has been found as yet than keeping then
in alcohol. This is on account OF their
having no bones aud because Of theii

The German Infantry.

The infantry is the principal arm OF
the army, not only in regard to num-
bers, but for its caplcity of being en-
ployed at any time and in any country.
1t forms, consequently, the principal
part of the army. and is organize l, since
October 1, 1899, into 53S battalions, of
which SIS are comprised in 179 regi-
ments, while 10 are forming independent
jaeger battalions. The number of in
fantry regiments contributed by Prussia
is 1888; Bavaria, 20; Slxony, IL;
Wurtemberg, s; and of jaeger battalions
by Prussia, IA Gnclu1ing the guard
Schutzen battalion); Bavaria, 2; Sax
ony, 3.
The regiments are differently de-
s,ribe1 as infantry, fusileer, grenadier
regiments, also a Schutzen regiment in
the Twelfth Army Corps, but they do
not differ in armament, training aud
employment. The names OF fusileers,
grenadiers and Schutzen have merely q
historical meaning. In point of fact
the infantry in the German army is {
unity, which extends also to the rifles,
although they have preserved some
peculiarities The Prussian rifle bat.
talions are mainly recruited from pro.
fessional rangers aud foresters, who, as
rule, engage for eight years active
service, whereby they establish claim
for employment in subordinate positions
in the Governments Forestry Service.
A regiment has three battaions, each
battalion four companies. The regi-
ment is headed by a Colonel, each bat
talon by staf-oflicer as battalion CON.
mander, each company by a Captain as
chief of company. For internal service
the company is divided into inspections
under the supervision of Lieutenants,
and in corporals' guards under the
guidance of non commissioned off.
GERS.
To the infantry belongs also the train
ing battalion at Potslam, which is at
tached to the guard corps, and to which
officers, non n-commissioned officers and
men from all infantry troops, except the
guard aud Bavariau corps, are detailed,
generally for a period Of six months.
During winter the training battalion is
reduced to the size of company.
Among the men leviei for the army,
only such are mustered into the in
fantry as are able to bear arms aud the
fatigues of marching. They must have
height of at least 1.57 metres (6I.8
iucheD. The most alert men are assigned
to the rifles. For active service under
arms each battalion draws annually 230
recruits if it is kept on the higher, 200
if ON the lower standard. .-- Harper's
Magazine.
