Eject of Erosion on mountains.

Foremost in their geographic impor-
lance, and in the intricacy and signif-
canoe of their geologic. structure and
origin, are the mountain belts which
consist of folded rock formations. The
strata forming the upper part Of the
earth's crust are bent up and down in
long, nearly straight or curving. wave
like ridges and troughs. and where their
disturbance was greatest the successive
ridged folds are closely pressed together
The waves of the rock structure are then
pushed to such steepness that their sides
become parallel with each other, and the
entire fold is driven forward into an in
clined position.
The order of the strata on the lower
side of the oppressed fold is thus in
verted; the originally highest and last
formed deposits there lie beneath older
beds, in an overturned series Subaerial
erosion then wears down the undulations
and the crests of the closely folded
strata, often planning them off until a
long section. crossing mountain ranges
passes from older to newer beds, and on
ward from newer to older, in several
alternations, having throughout the
whole a nearly constant steep dip

Squirrels and Corn.

At the Iowa station great efforts were
made in the spring to find out the best
way OF preventing the squirrels from tax
ing the corn. The corn was treated in
the following ways: Smoked with meat
In an ordinary smol1ehouse until the kerr
nels were black; smoked in barrel with
tobacco dust; smoked over night in
strong decoction of tobacco and of quas-
STA chips; soaked in dilute carbolic acid
mixture, in strong alum water, in salt
water and in kerosene. The squirrels
would take the corn treated in any of
these ways, though the carbolic acid
treatment and the smoking with tobacco
made the corn distasteful, and when in
the vicinity of other ground would be
left till the last The best remedy seems
to be to harrow the ground Immediately
after planting to cover the planter tracks,
and then to scatter corn about the border
of the fields and in the vicinity of the
squirrel holes as soon as the corn begins
to come up.

Turning Water Into Empty Hot Boilers.

Turning Water Into Empty Hot Boilers.
Some time ago boiler was constructed
in Manchester, England, with view to
testing the practice advised by some in
case of shortness of water being dis
covered, of turning on the feed water, a
somewhat startling method OF procedure
according to some. In these tests the
furnaces were barred of water by opening
the blowof cock and allowing the water
to escape while good bright fires were
burning, which could rot fail to over
heat the plates.
When sufficiently heated to melt disks
of lead, tin and zinc the feed was sud-
denly turned on through special pipes
which injected the water directly on to
the heated plates, but in no case, as is
often assumed, was this followed by a
sudden generation of steam at an Excess
sive pressure, but in one case actually a
reduction of pressure took place. The
only mishap which took place proved, it
seems, to have been due to the feed not
having been turned on soon enough.
Again, the hogging upward of the fue
tubes, which was accurately ascertained
by means of rods, was in some cases
found to be as much as one-half inch.
The inadvisability of hurrying fires
when raising steam was demonstrated as
beyond question. New York Sun.

killing Fowls Inside n Barrel.

The following occurs in Profits in
Poultry, published by the 0. Judd COM
pany: "Fowls are best slaughtered thus:
A barrel is provided with number of
nails driven in around the open edge.
A number of loops of Irvine about six
inches long are also provided. The bird
is fastened by noosing the loop around
the legs and is hung in the barrel head
downward. The head is then taken in
the left hand and sharp pointed knife
is pushed through the throat close to the
vertebre and down forward SO as to cut
the throat clear through, by which SEN
sation is at once arrested and the fowl
bleeds to death rapidly and painlessly.
Being confined in the barrel, the splash
ing from the futtering is avoided and
everything is done in clean and easy
manner"

The .rncome from 1rv.ng,s works.

Washington Irving was ono of the
kindliest Of men and one Of the most
modest and least self asserting Of authors.
1t is evident from Murray's memoirs,
however, that Irving was led apparently,
according to his own Letters" by the
counsel of overzealous friends) to place
too high an estimate upon the COM
mercial value of some of the earlier of
his writings, and that Murray, having
oVerpersuaded himself to accept the
authors estimate, became heavy loser
by the publication of some Of Irvings
most famous books. Irving's later ar
rangement with his American publisher,
the late q. P Putnam, under which the
publisher, in place of speculation in the
volumes by paying a.guesswork advance
prices for the copylesats, paid royalty
on the copies actually sold, proved much
more satisfactory for both author and
publisher and produced for the author
and bis heirs substantial income ex-
