a correspondent who is perfect

lr cost the people of the United
States about $50, 600 in couple OF
hours the other day to settle in the
minds of the officers of the Ordnance
Bureau whether some armor plates
made by the Carnegie and Bethlehem
Steel Works. respectively, were as
good as they ought to be. IT was
found that they were; and what that
means can lie imagined when one of
the plates was seventeen inches thick,
weighed 81 tons, aud was alta cked
by shells weighing $50 pounds each,
the last ones fired from Il Pinch gun
at distance Of only $40 feet, strik-
ing it with the force needed to move

projectile went through. The hole it
made was nearly as clean as if it had
been drilled, and not Il crack ap-
peared about its edges. Though this
particular projectle was lost, having
been DETECTED and fallen into the
Potomac, the other projectiles which
penetrated the same plate were found
in perfect condition and tit to be used
again. That seems almost more
marvellous that the perfection of the
plate. Al Sandy Hook the War De-
partment has just mounted a gun

The Farmers Cow.

From many sources the statement
is made that the thing that operates
against the dairyman is that the cow
he milks is taking an average. a poor
one, and high yields are impossible.
But then the other question comes IN
how comes this dairyman milNinR
such poor COW? AS has been pointed
out time and again in this paper, the
dairyman has it in his power to elect
the kind Of a dairy he wants. The
COW, her breeding, her YIELD and cost OF
feeding. the farmer has all in his own
power of betterment, and the farm.
er's dairy, breeding. feeding. and
yield arc reflections of his dairy in
telligence. That mans dairy only
makes l25 pounds of Indifferent but
ter and neighbor over the fence
has dairy, and farm OF no better
producing soil, that makes $50 and
often better of butter, is the proof
that the man must first he improved
before great results can be looked for
from his herd. There is no danger
of overproduction in dairy produce
until there is a general upheavel OF
the dairy world in general The
Gospel is being accepted in greater
proportion than new dairy truth, and
1t has been centuries even since
Luther's reforms were promulgated
The average dairyman must in some
way he reused from the state that
quietly accepts cow that only gives
an annual yield of 1000 pounds. BY
the time the dairy would bc fullv
awake the demand for fine dairy goods
will be long way in advance of the sup
ply. Preach, teach, and hope all the
time for dairy reform. -Practica

An Experiment with sitting Hens.

Why is it that some hens hatch but
few chicks while other hens bring
off full brOods? 1t has been supposed
that the fault is with the hens, but
hen that may fail at one time may
do we'll at another We must look
for the cause beyond the hens, aud
for that purpose we conducted some
experiments, at different periods OF
last year. Taking eggs from an in
cubat0r that had been tested, after
four days incubation, we placed
dozen fertile eggs under one hen and
a dozen infertie eggs under another.
The one with the fertile eggs after
the fourth day, began to come off
frequently. due to the animal heat of
the eggs, which raised the temeper-
allure SD high that the hen was COM
PEELED to cool them, while the other
hen, having eggs that must be heated
by herself only, remained closely on
her nest. We then changed the eggs,
giving the first hen the eggs that
had been given to the second hen.
and to the second hen the eggs that
were in the nest of the other The

hen remained closely on the nest
while the o0her was compelled to
cool her eggs. This experiment was
made with several lots OF hens The
conclusions are that the hen is gov
erned entirely by the temperature of
the eggs, and that she will not ex-
pose her eggs unless compelled to do
so by hunger il there is insufficient
warmth, but that if every egg con-
tains chick, or a majority of them
are fertile, the animal heat of the
bodies OF the chicks in the egg will
cause the heat to rise above that re-
quired for inc4bat ION, just rs happens
with an incubator. or course, their

Others that are driven from the nest
by thirst, hunger. vermine. fright. or
some other unfavorable condition,
but the chicks assist to hatch them
selves after the tenth day, and the
hen regulates her conduct as much
by the conditions affecting the eggs
as by her individual inclinations. -

CAUGHT A METEOR.
What an Astronomers Photo

graph Developed.
NEW YORK, Conn.,, Jan. 14.-While
photographing the Holmes comet at
Ansonia on the evening of the 18th
inst, John e. Lewis, an astronomer,
was startled by bright light at about
1880. Upon developing the plate
which had been exposed to the constel-
lation Andromeda from 7:19 to 1852, the
trail of an immense meteor was diScov-
cred across the center of the plate.
The trail runs little south
of Bella Andromeda and almost
directly over P. Andromeda and runs
In a northwesterly direction. This me-
teor was seen by several persons within
radius of twenty miles Of Ansonia,
and is described as being intensely
brilliant. the illumination being very
vivid.
1t was seen to break, but was evidently
too far away for the detonation TO be
heard. 1t is hoped that fragments OF
this meteor may be picked up in the
northwestern part OF the state. as the
circumstance that it has been
photographed lends unusual interest to
the occurrence, the chances Of so bright
a meteor crossing the center OF
small plate are SO exceedingly small that
1t is probably the first instances
on record. 1t IS hoped that
persons who may have seen the meteor
and can describe its apparent path with
some degree of correctness will COM
municate with Mr.. Lewis or Prof. H. A.
Newton, of Yale university. Another
observation of the meteor's path would
have given all the data necessary to de-
termine the height Of the meteor above
the earth'S surface, very important
and uncertain question at present.

Irma Heilbron Wins Her Breach
Of Promise Suit.
CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-Three thousand
five hundred dollars was the amount OF
money that Miss Irma Hebron received
at the hands of the jury which has been
trying her breach of promise suit
against Jonas Greenabaum. After
being locked up for three hours
the jury estimated that that amount of
money would fully compensate her for
all the heartaches and disappointment
she had endured. When Miss He'll ron
heard the verdict read she smiled ana,
turning toward the vanquished former
lover, she smiled agaiu-a broad and
continuous smile. She then took the
arm of Attorney Blum, and marched
out of the court roor
On her way down the corridor Miss
Hebron said that she was now happy.
She did rot care for the pecunlary part
of the verdict, but she had received the
satisfaction of knowing that she was up
held in her assertions by jury and had
indicated herself in the eyes OF her
friends at Milwaukee.

doubt as to whether values were not a

New York.

NEW YORK. Jan. 14.-Trading In
stocks during the short session today
was more active than yesterday and
the total sales of nearly $4,000 shares
in two hours have certainly not been
equaled i'll years. The market also
broadened materially and commission
houses report that they are receiving
more orders from outsiders in railroad
shares. The trading, however, was
still for the most part of a
professional and local nature,
though London was a buyer
to some extent, and the dealings in
Distillers' were attributed, principally,
to liquidation by Western poll. The
PROSPECT of a change In the interstate
commerce law is also making decid-
eddy better feeling for all classes of
railroad securities. The features of the
day were Dstillers' and Manhattan,
and while the transactions in the latter
were by no means to be compared to
those in the former its decline was
nearly as great. There occurred the
usual drive at Distillers' but unusual
weakness attended the transaction. and
a loss of per cent, which was after
ward increased, was the result. The
whisky trust is affected by threatened
legislative action in Washington look
ing to the breaking up OF the concern.
Liquidations were very heavy all
along the line, and, while the demand
was very urgent and sufficient to rally
the market completely in the early
dealings, it could not withstand the very
pressure after the first half hour. and
the trading element showed q DISPOSE

the belief in some quarters that the

actions against the combination, and

have to be taken to break UP the COM
bination. Prices in most of the list
moved over narrow range, nOtWith-

tions were noted, especially Consolidated
