A curious tower was built at Athens
by Andronicus Of octagonal form
each side OF which was faced with
representation OF the wind TO which it
looked. Its spire was surmounted
by copper triton, so constructed as
to point with a rod as it turned with
each wind to that image which repre-
scented it
Each side of the tower bore beneath
the architecture Greek inscription Of
Its corresponding wind, with appro-
pirate illustrations OF its attributes,

statue. which turned with every wind;
beneath the vans were emblematic
figures one of which was a scorpion.
Mention OF weather cocks occurs
as early as the ninth century.

Animals that are confined in close
quarters and fed on concentrated food
always require certain mineral ele-
ments watch nature supplies to them
in the fields and woods. The need
which pigs have for salt and ashes is
well-knowu. but it is not so generally
practised and lived up to. When the
pigs are roaming about the fields and
woods they do not need the ashes. but
when confined in their winter quarters
and fed concentrated food weekly
supply OF wood ashes will be of ines
Unable value TO them. We have not
yet found out exactly what element in
the ashes they desire. whether it is
the charcoal lime or potash but it is
certain that the ashes themselves are
very beneficial
One OF the benefits of feeding them
ashes is better appetite for their ra-
tons of meal and fodder They eat
more and steadier. and their food is
better digested and assimilated. Ex-
periments at the stations with a great
number OF pigs have proven this fact
beyond dispute. Salt does no: en-
tirely take the place of ashes for

in abundance. and the ashes omitted.

The Third Lesson,

Each member OF the Special Class re-
ceives letters regularly from Professor
! Moran, the Author of this course. These
letters are found TO be encouraging and
helpful in various ways. Those who
| have not already become members
would do well to join at once. Informs
ton furnished on application.
| II you meet with any difficulty, or If
| you do not find shorthand clear and easy
at the start, do not for that reason throw
down your pen. You can afford TO be
patient. Do not be overly anxious about
the next lesson. 1t will come soon
enough. Meanwhile, learn this one still
better. Study, write, read, practice;
work away. The oftener you copy the
characters the better you viii understand

fore an earnest worker. Leave no lesson

tered it, and can say Eyes" 10 thC Sc
questions: Do you understand the prin-
ciple2 Can you write it in the required
time? Can you read It afterwards? Have
you written 1t as it was read to you?
Introduction cards will be issued with
this lesson to all members of the Special
Glass.
