Attention has recently been d.
rected to the application of electricity
to farming operations, and the de-
signing and introduction of suitable
dynamo-electric machinery for this
purpose would no doubt be profitable
both to the manufacturers and the
farmers. Early in 1892, an electric
power system was installed at the
farm of the Agricultural Experiment
Station, Auburn, Ala, the current
being brought from the college labo-
ratory by a line three quarters of a
mile in length, conducted by the stu
dents themselves. A ten horse power
motor was used for ginning and
pressing cotton, tLrashing grain, cut
ting up feed stuff, ETC., and gave or :
tire satisfaction. In every community
where there is water power, electric
ity could be economically generated
and used not only for the above
mentioned purposes, but also to run
saws, planning machines, pumps,
lathes, grindstones, cider presses,
sorghum mills, churns, sewing ma.
chines-in short, for everything re-
curing power. What farmer would
not welcome the exchange Of smoky
lamps for electric lightsi The arc
light may also prove useful in mark
ct gardening, some recent expert
ments made in France having shown
that it has marked effect in stimu-
lating plant growth when sunlight
is not to be had Where sufficient
water power is not available, wind
mills might be used in connection
with a system Of storage batteries.
Such utilization of the now wasted
energies OF nature would put off the
coal famine that threatens future
generations. e. p. Lewis, in The
Inventive Age.

One Continued Round of Holidays-Pic-
mics, of Course, Most Favored.
The colonists of New Zealand are
holiday making people. There is
almost an average of one recognized
holiday to a month, and it is a COM
mon practice for all working people
to take tive or more days at Christ
mas, the New Year and Easter, so
as to make an unbroken playtime of
three or four days, including Sun
day. Then the great mass of the
people give themselves up to amuse-
ment. Horse races, athletic sports,
boat races and excursions are carried
on in every available spot, and are
attended by large and well behaved
crowds.
The commonest of all holiday
amusements is picnic. The sew
eral trades, sects and societies have
picnics of their own, TO which the
public are cordially welcome on the
payment of small sum toward the
expense OF the entertainment. 1t is
amusing TO the railway traveller to
note, as he passes through some
pleasant countryside, not one or two,
but perhaps fifty different picnics in
full swing, each numbering scores
or hundreds of guests. 1t has been
said with much more truth than is
usual to be found in epigrams Of
this kind that;
In New Zealand people are like
cattle. You need only to turn a
number Of them into a pasture and
leave them alone and they win be
perfectly happy" On warm and
tempting New Years day an enter
prising burglar might walk through
a New Zealand city and hep him
self, undisturbed, to the contents Of
most of the houses. Dwellings and
streets are alike deserted, and the
casual soiourner who does not un-
derstand the ways Of the place seeks
in vain for some one to speak to.
By 6 or 7 O'Clock in the evening the
streets are lively with returning
crowds.

Tn Mys erious ON Chung BIRD OF inc
FabIed Orient.
The steamer Gaelic, from China,
the other day brought novel cargo
for the Chinese New Years tables,
saws The San Francisco Examiner.
AT the festive season of the Mon
gol no delicacy can be deemed too
rare for the prolonged feast-not
even ON chung, the bird that
springs from worm and becomes
beautiful and dies in a year. A
Let of these feathered beauties
formed the usual Importation men
toned. Several crates of Chi
nese make, containing 200 OF
these birds, were landed on
the dock and Immediately re-
moved to restaurant on jackson
street and Bartlett alley, il the Chi
nese quarter.
The arrival caused no little excite
ment among the Cinnamon, for it IS
seldom SO many of the priced birds
are seen in this country.
The birds will be fed and well
cared for until the New Year holt
days and then they will be sold at
fancy prices for banquets and epicu-
rean feasts.
They are apparently variety OF
the quail species, though very small
in comparison to the California
quail. In size they are even smaller
than snipe, aid come nearest the
robin. Their feathers are smooth
and daintily marked-light seal
brown with speckles of white and
black and here and there streak of
white on a shadow deeper than the
prevailing brown.
They are drappy little fellows,
nervous to excess and full of life, so
much so. indeed, that sportsmen
would call them gamey birds. Not
fer second will they keep quiet in
the crates, but are always moving
and ctirruping, picking and futter-
ing. About their origin the Chinese
have woven a pretty legend, which
in time has been accepted as truth.
A year or two ago the fish com
missioners imported about 1000
dozen and turned them loose in diff
f-rent parts of California, but not
bird lived, a fact taken by tie
Chinese as positive proof that the
legend is correct.
Him never breed" declared
Chinaman the other day, in his de-
sire to tell the wonderful story of
ON chung.
Him never breed. No bird like
him never came from the egg, but
from fish, and lie die in ten
months"
With the Chinese evolution is part
of religion, so there can be nothing
strange in supposing that bird was
evolved from a worm-via fish.
As the story goes, the ON chung,
or Chinese quail, is never seen from
September TO the July or August of
the following year. Meanwhile he
is dead, his life is extinct.
When the summer comes there is
fish that inhabits Oriental lagoons
and rivers with an irresistible desire
to fly onto the land. 0nce on shore
in the marshes ne becomes a bird,
aud finally blossoms out as myriads
of pretty quail.
While in this stage he is caught
in miles of netting set for him as
traps, and month later he is gone.
Him live about seven months,
never longer'n ten," added the talk
alive Chinese, willing to parade his
English. "If | could afford it /
would go TO China and catch him
when half fish and half bird and
bring him here in alcohol"
