SLIOING DOWN KATAHOIN.
The Rough Experience Of Mr.. Blatohfora..
orChicaOo.
On Thursday, March 30, Edward
Blatchford, of Chicago, with A. s.
Spering, of Passadumkeag, as guide,
left McLeod's camp on the Wassa-
taquoit stream to make the ascent of
Mount Katahdin, says q Bangor
special to the New York Sun.
The men left the camp about i've
O'Clock in the morning, intending to.
make their way along the northern
side, cross the ridge over-hanging the.
basin, and thus reach the summit,
and when within a mile Ut the top
the snow shoes were put aside, and,
with the lunch, were left in con-
venient place, the men intending to,
make the top and return before.
dinner time. The highest part was
reached without accident, and the.
two were about to set out to return
when, without warning, a thick
mist settled down, bringing with it a
furious blizzard.
The cold was intense, and the.
terrible violence of the wind formed
most effectual barrier against re-
turn by the northern path, over
which they had come. 1t was a
desperate situation. To remain
where they were was certain death.
To regain the snowsh0es and lunches
was impossible. The only chance for:
the unfortunate tourist and his guide.
was to reach the timber below by IA
most hazardous descent.
There are but few paths by which
a descent from the mountain is
possible. And to the natural disfi-
culties bowling, binding blizzard,
and mist through which objects
more than few feet away are in
visible and you have the situation.
The mountain was as slippery az
glass, and to get a foothold was inl-
possible. The only thing to do was
to slide.
This they did. Throwing them
selves at full length they flew down
the precipitous side, suffering terri
BILE bruises and not knowing whether
the next moment would land them in
the coveted shelter or eternity. At
one time the men were brought to a
violent stop only to find that a few
yards more and they would have been
hurled 1900 feet into the basin
beneath. Still their only chance was
to reach the Wassataquoit Valley.
Once more they bazarded the slide,
and this time lucky chance brought
them upon ridge near the belt of
the timber, fifteen miles from camp.
Their chances for life were still
slight. Lame and bruised, without
snowshoes, they started on their
long tramp. At times the snow would
be nearly to their necks: still they
fought on. The snow, mixed with
rain, froze where it fell, incrusJing
their faces and clothing.
AT last, long after nightfall, ex-
hausted by their long struggle, their
clothing almost torn from them,
faces and other parts of their bodies
frozen, the two reached the Mcleod
camp, whence they had started that
morning. The men at the camp had
given them up for lost hours before,
and search parties had been organ
ized to set out in the morning.
The ascent of Katahdin has not
heretofore ranked with Alpine per-
formances, but Messrs. Blatchford
and Spering think they can tell
pretty good mountain story when
such stories are in order.

AN ERRONEOUS IDEA.
Incubation Eggs Need No Moisture II
Tint ar tho Ionss Ro,Iy

Incubation Eggs Need No Moisture But
That OF the Hens Body. s.
The old and oft-repcatcd theory that
in natural incubation eggs need more
moisture than that furnished by the
hens body is easily disprovcd by ex-
pcrience. An incubating hen does not
need to wander through grass wet with
dew or to be out occasionally in the
rain in order to have good hatch. A
belatcd chick will sometimes dry fast
to the shell and needs dip in tram
water to free it, but that is only be-
cause it is weak and belatcd BY way
of experiment, last spring set seven
hens on nincty-one eggs. They orsre
set in a room having a board floor aud
opening into an inclosed shed in which
they were fed and watorGl end had a
dust bath. They were not outdoors
during the whole hatch. They brought
out scvcnty-thrce fine chicks. OF the
remaining eighteen eggs six tested ont
infcrtile. The rest would probably have
hatched, only they were set under a
foolish hen of uncertain mind W no
made botch of the business. The
supply of the proper amount of n,ois-
ture in artificial incubation and az the
right stage of the hatch is very puz-
cling question, There are so many
modifying circumstances TO be copsid-
cred. The tendency at present is
toward less moisture than formerly,
and to be applied the last few days of
the hatch.
If the incubator is run in cellar less
moisture will be needed than if above
ground. In some sections of the coun-
try less moisture Is required than in
others, Different degrees of moisture
in the atmosphere attime. of Matching
must also be considered. Some styles
of incubators require more and some
less moisture. The person who rams
the incubator will need to study and
experiment for himself. If too much
moisture is given, the chicks will grow
too rapidly and become bound in the
she'll If too little, the inner mem
brane will become tough and dry. In
either case many chicks will die in The
she'll during the last few days of incu-
baton. 1t is a very discouraging ex-
perience to find after hatch that per-
haps 80 per cent of the eggs have dead
| chicks fully maturcd. If this expert
| cnce is repeated time and again it be-
comes exasperating. Spraying theeggs
| is generally condemned, yet my last
two matches sprayed lightly twice a
day the last three days, and had over
80 per cent. matches. The spraying
was done Immediately after turning
water at 103 degrees. Mine is a hot.
air machine. reasoned that light
spraying would keep the inner mem
brane Of the eggs in the right condi
ton, so the chicks could easily peck
their way out into this greedy world.

BEES IN WINTER,
4 Frame of Honey Is the Best Food for
Them.

Frame of Honey Is the Best Food for
Them.
The best method of feeding bees in
winter is, according to writer in the
American Bee Journal, to give them a
frame of honey, If all of the honey is
in the hives, look over all of the col
onies or Il sufficient number of them to
find combs of honey to give the starv-
ing colonies. 1t is well known that all
the colonies do not consume the same
amount of stores, and the variation is
SO grcas that it often happens that
enough combs of honey may be spared
from those who have plenty to supply
the needy.
If no honey is available, and some
colonies must be fed, a candy made of
franulated sugar is the best substi-
tte. 1t may be cal1cd in shallow
dishes, and the thin cake laid over the
bees. and covered with enamel cloth
. and two or three thickucsses of. old
carpet, or the candy may bes'run" di
rectly into the frames and the frames
hung in the hives adjoining the clusters
cf bees. Good" candy is also recon
mendcd for this purpose. Thin boards
are tackled to one side of an empty
brood frame, thus forming a shallow
tray. 1t is then filed with candy and
the other side covered with boards ex-
cept small space ut the top, which is
left for the bees to enter.
