WACO FORCING 10 TAE fRONr.

WACO FORGING TO THE FRONT.
The Waco Natatorium Company
met yesterday afternoon in the office
of Col. Parrot and elected officers.
Col. r b. PARROT is president, James
|. Moore is vice.president, and S. w.
Slayden is secretary and treasurer.
The contract was awarded for the
building of the nstatorium and work
will commence at once. The details
of the meeting of the directors will be
found in our local columns. THE
NEWS is glad to note the success of
Col. Parrot and associates in this
enterprise. If Waco is to reap the
benefit of her thermal artesian water
she must encourage every effort
to increase her facilities
for utilizing this grandest of all nat
ural advantsges-a blessing she EMO
exclusively, and one that, will if prop
erly appreciated, make Waco the great
health resort of America. Mr.. Tom
Padgitt is entitled to the unstinted
praise of the citizens of Waco for hav.
ing established the first natatorium
and thus being first to offer facilities
for testing the medicinal proper ties Of
our thermal waters. None the less is
Col. Parrst. entitled to the unbounded
praise of every citizen in Waco for his
enterprise which was in
spired by an unwavering
faith in Waco and her future in taking
the initiative in this matter and work.
ing up and pushing to successful is
sue the plan for a second natatorium
These institutions will do more than
any yet established to push Waco for
ward to that destiny she deserves and
will attain. With these two nata.
forums the facilities for utilizing the
pure hot water to be found nowhere
else on earth, are sufi ,ient to attract
of people from abroad
and We may confidently expect
that in a few years
the thousands will increase
to hundreds of thousands,
and Waco as a health resort, will be
the acknowledged rival Of Hot Springs
where last year over 100000 people
visited in search of that grandest of
blessings good health. The News
predicts that in less than five years it
will be necessary to build more nata-
forums to accommodate the great
throng of people who are sure to come
when it is understood that our own
people have sufficient confidence in
the efficacy of our thermal
waters to prompt the m
to invest their money in such institu-
tions as the Park Natatorium aud the
Waco Natatorium. The fame Of our hot
wells is assured.

When the electric telegraph was first in
PRODUCED into Chill, stratagem was re-
sorted to, in order to guard the posts and
wires against damage on the part of the
Araucanian Indians and maintain the con-
nection between the strongholds on the
frontier. There were at the time between
forty and fifty captive Indians in the Chill
ian camp. General Pinto called them to-
gether, and pointing to the telegraph wires,
said:
do you see those wiress"
yes, general"
Il want you to remember not to go near
or touch them, for if you do your hands
will be held and you will be unable to get
away"
The Indians smiled lncredulously. Then
the general made them each in succession
take hold of the wire at both ends of an
electric battery in full operation, after
which he exclaimed:
81 command you to let go the wire!'
& can't; my hands are benumbedr"
cried each Indian.
The battery was then stopped. Not long
after the general restored them to liberty,
giving them strict instructions to keep the
secret and not betray it to their country
men.
This had the desired effect, for as might
be expected, the experience was related in
the strictest confidence to every man in
the tribe, and the telegraph has ever since
remained unmolested.-London Tit-Bits

MANAGEMENT OF TURKEYS.
Requirements fThese Fowls Which Often
Prove Troublesome and UnprofitabIe.

Requirements Of'rhese Fowls Which Often
Prove Troublesome and Improbable.
turkeys require large range, and ex-
cept on large farms. or at least sufficient
ly so that they can be kept from tres
passing on the premises of neighbors,
raising turkeys is likely to be trouble
some In many ways besides being I'M
profitable. A naturally dry and rather
sandy soil Is the best for turkeys. as it
Is for raising other fowls, for nothing
occasions more loss in young chicks of
all kinds than wading around in mud
and wet grass. There is one thing that
can be said in favor of raising turkeys
that cannot be said of chickens. which
Is that they can be more easily driven
where one wants them to 20, so that a
child can watch turkey hen when she
Is let out with her brood, and can keep
them from straying too far and drive
them home und n shelter when a storm
is coming up.
turkeys are very partial to choosing
their own nests in the open field. and
where one succeeds in setting on her
stolen nest she should be brought in and
cooped for some weeks as soon as the
chicks are Matched. leaving the chicks
to run out. 1t 5, however, better to in
duce her to set somewhere under shelter
when 1t can be done. BY putting the
hen turkeys few days before they be-
gin to lay in IL large inclosure where
they can make nests a little hidden from
observation they can afterward be allow
ed to run ont, and viii return and hatch
where their broOds can have better pro
lection than in the open field. TURKEYS
do not like to BE- disturbed when on their
nests nor watched while going to them.
The young ones are very tender, and for
few weeks after Matching require even
more care i'll keeping them out of the
wet than chickens do. When from six
to eight weeks old they become quite
| hardy and can have full liberty. but up
to that time the mother turkey should be
confined i'll large coop, and when left
to run ont for short time, should be
| carefully watched to prevent her wan
dering off with her brood into the tall
grass. Turkeys can be Matched and
raised 10y hens, but turkey under
stands the way Of the young ones and
makes better mother for them.

falls on this area is collected in the bottle,
and the quantity which has fallen during
the period Of observation is measured by
means of IA graduated glass. Thus if in
tWenty-four hours the quantity collected
measures 90 fluid ounces, this is equal to
four cubic inches, and if the area of the
funnel is twelve inches, this represents
rainfall of One-third of an inch IN twenty
four hours. The funnel and bottle are
usually inclosed in "a metal cylinder which
is taller than the funnel, so Us to retain
any snow which may fall.
Many local circumstances may affect the
quantity of rain which falls in different
countries; but, other things being equal,
most rain falls in hot climates, for there
the yapOrization is most abundant. The
rainfall decreases, in fact, from the equator
to the poles TheQuantity varies with the
seasons. In Paris, in winter, it is 4.2 inches;
in spring, 60; in summer, 63 and in
autumn, IS inches. The heaviest annual
rainfall at any place on the globe is on the
Khas hills, in Bengal where it is COO
inches, of which 500 inches fall in seven
months.
Under similar circumstances the guam
tity Of rain diminishes with the distance
from the sea. Thus, if the annual rainfall
is in the center of Germany, it is l.2 in the
center of England and l. - on the English
coast An inch of rain on square yard of

EFFECT OF IEHADIATIoN of the image. 1t
bears the same relation to the space occu-
pied by the image that the duration of the
impression does to the time during which
the image is seen.
The effect of irradiation is very percepti-
BE in the apparent magnitude of stars,
which may thus appear much larger than
they really are; also in the appearance of
the moon when two or three days old, the
brightly illuminated crescent seeming to
extend beyond the darker portion of the
disk and to hold it in its grasp.
Plateau, who investigated this subject,
found that irradiation differs very much in
different people and even in the same per
son it differs on different days. He also
found that irradiation increases with the
luster Of the object and the length of time
during which it is viewed. 1t manifests
Itself at all distances; diverging lenses i'll
crease it, condensing lenses diminish it.

Doincs al the Experiment Stations.

A trial of silage made from apple
pomace as food for pigs resulted I'M
satisfactorily at the Illinois station. The
pomace kept well and chemical analysis
of it showed an apparently good COM
position for feeding purposes, but the
pigs ate very little of it.
At the Georgia station nitrogen was
found to be the most effective element
in fertilizers on oats; cotton seed meal
was the only substance that paid good
profit. The Fultz made the largest
Weld of any wheat grown, though the
Walker. which is a week earlier, is con-
sidered the most trustworthy, one year
with another.
At the I'll uois station two trials were
made, in each of which two pigs were
fed soaked corn and two others dry
corn. with no other feed. The pigs fed
soaked corn ate more and gained more
than those fed dry corn. In one trlal
they gained more and in one less IN pro-
portion to food eaten than those fed dry
corn. The differences were not great III
either case.
The first Of series of experiments
with rye grown for green forage IN the

Florida station. The rye was planted
broadcast and in drills on three plots Cd

the crop was cut for fodder and on
another seven cattle and two colts were
pastured. A considerable amount OF
