Hot Water Lift by a Pump.

In answer to the inquiry, "Will pump
draw hot water; If so, how hot and how far
will it draw it?" The Stationary Engineer
says: "Owing to the fact that water will boil
in vacuum at a temperature of 9s to 100
degs. it is impossible for pump to lift
what might be called hot water any dis
tance, for as the pressure of air is removed
from the surface of the water, vapor is
formed and fills the space, so that no diff
ference in pressure between the inside Of
the pump and the air outside will be pro
duced, consequently the water will not be
forced above it's level. If the supply of
water is above the level of the pump, water
will run in on account of its own weight,
or, more properly, the force of gravity,
With good pump and moderately fast
speed it might be possible to raise hot
water a few inches, but the distance would
be so slight that nothing practical would
be gained"

became aware of the presence Of the two
acrobats and prepared to spring at Dan
iello, who was within easy reach. Lopez
perceived the danger of his young pupil.
"Climb up beside me-" he shouted,
make hastel Seize one of the ropes and
climb"
For the moment, however, Daniello had
| lost all his presence of mind, and it was
| quite a wonder that he did not fall to the
| ground
Fortunately the lad recovered his self
| possession, and quicker than thought, just
as the fierce animal sprang toward him, he
| seized one of the ropes near at hand and
clambered upward out Of immediate dan
| ger while the tiger, instead of capturing
| Daniello, only seized the bar which the
| young acrobat had just left, causing it to
swing to and fro and becoming entangled
in the ropes. 1t was, however, apparent
that the animal would soon disengage itself
and would probably make another spring,
this time with greater ferocity.
Suddenly large piece of raw meat was
thrown into the circus just beneath the
tiger At the sight of this the animal
| dropped from the rope, pounced upon the
| meat and began to devour it. Then for the
| first time the tiger perceived the presence
of another prey. Several yards away stood
a young girl of twelve years of age. She
attracted the animals attention by calling
to it, and in moment the already enraged
animal sprang toward her.
But the brave girl had anticipated this
and quicker than her enemy she ran dowr
one Of the passages familiar to her and
entered large cage consisting of two com
partments, The tiger entered after her
but not before the girl had succeeded II
reaching the second part of the cage anC
had securely closed the gate after her, 81
that the tiger could not follow.
AS soon as Lopez perceived the childl
action he leaped to the ground and fol
lowed after them, arriving just as the CIR
had closed the gate of the second cage. L
was only the work of moment to secur
the tiger, and then Lopez, with his hear
full of gratitude, entered the cage anC
clasped his child in his arms
my dear, brave Mariel" he cried wit.
Joy and pride, you have saved us both"

SAVED FROM A TIGER.
A story of Rescue Accomplished
nuicL JVft Cnuravo o,1 uitgt,,

A Story of a Rescue Accom- plished by
Quick wit, Courage and Agility.
Many years ago a small circus and
menagerie in the course Of its travels ar.
rived at little town in France. Lopez,
the trainer Of the wild animals, was also
clever acrobat. For some time he had
been training a lad named Daniello as an
acrobat, and now decided to permit Dan
iello to appear for the first time in public
In order TO give his pupil confidence, the
master began putting him through final
practice just before the hour for opening
the circus to the public Young Daniello
having gone through part of his task was
resting on the bar for moment.
Suddenly Lopez, higher up, gave start,
and looked with amazement toward
corner of the circus

had escaped from its cage and had found
its way into the circus, Immediately it

"found that the Cayugas were more
precocious birds than the Roens and
were better layers. The eggs were
more fertile. The ducks were also
much harder, and as a consequence
there was less mortality among the
young. But they were rather small in
size, dressing only seven to nine pounds

In general it may be said that the
Cayugas are useful fowls, being hardy,
maturing rapidly and fattening well.
They are also unusually good layers.
These birds, a pair of which is repre-.
sented in the cut, are of handsome jet
black color, with brilliant green or pur,
pie lustrous glcss The shape of the bill
is different from that of other kinds, as il
curves from the head down toward the
center Of the bill and upward again tc
the lip, in dish shape. The legs are q
dull orange color, with a network OF
black over them. In shape and size the
Cayugas resemble the Aylesburys.

follows: Five pounds of -four, II pounds of

Raising Beans for Market.

An Indiana farmer correspondent
gives his method of raising beans as fol
lows:
use only pure seed and a kind that
cooks quickly.
Break the ground early and let it lie
SO as to germinate all the weed seeds.
Do not plant until from the 1st to 10Th
Of June on account of the weavil. Be.
fore planting cultivate the ground thor,
oughly so rs to destroy all the weeds.
Plant the beans in rows two feet apart.
Drill the seed at the rate of one-third of
bushel per acre if tree beans; if mar
rowfats, use one-half to two-thilds of a
bushel
Plow with an iron double bull tongue
cultivator which will admit of adjust
ment so as to just fit the row. Use a
clod fender on both sides of the plow.
With this implement one man and horse
will cultivate five acres Il day.
We usually pull the beans when the
pods are about half yellow and the green
pods have full sized beans, if the weather
is dry. If it is raining every few DAYS
we allow them to ripen before pulling.
We thrash with wheat separator and
reclean on a tanning mill, with one
screen the proper size to admit the beans
and pass all stems and hulls over. Then
screen is put below to take out all the
split and broken beans. This screen
looks like an ordinary cheat screen, only
the meshes are little more than as wide
again.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The senate
has adopted the senate substitute to the
house Chinese restriction bill. When
the bill was taken up Mr.. Squire argued
in favor of the house bill, or some other
vigorous measure to enforce the exclu-
sion of the Chinese. He declared, how
ever, that the great trouble was the lax
and Intellectual manner in which the
existing exclusion laws were executed,
and to sustain that view he read CO.
plous extracts from ties. imony taken by
a senate committee on that subject a
few years ago. Mr. Mitchell said that
ne felt i'm elled by sense of duty to
vote against the substitute reported by
the forelgn relations committee, and in
favor of the principles of absolute Chi
nese exclusion as expressed in the house
bill. No one should suppose, however,
that he Was talking with a hope CT de-
feating til committees substitute. He
knew that it would be adopted by an
overwhelming majority. The discus
sion was continued until o'clock,
when the vote was taken on the substi-
tute repol tcd from the committee on
foreign relations for the house bill, and
the substitute was agreed to by vote
of 43 yeas 10 IA nays.
A conference with the house was
asked and Messrs. Dollh, Davis and

opportunity came Monday. When the
town was on fire and threatened with
demolition, Paul Lawrence, an intox-

attempted to arrest him. This was the
signal for the attack. The policeman
and the justice were knocked out in
short order. The mob then Quilted the

were notified. None of the officials
were seriously injured, but some of the
mob were badly cut and bruised.
