before the institution of engineers,
was enthusiastic in favor of the
scheme, and that it will be brought
forward is apparent from the fact
that the English Governments has

Of this sun is to be devoted to ~
periments tending to carrying out
the scheme of bringing the two conti-

accomplished in the near future,
however, is a question. 1t is some-

WAS AHEAD OF ERICSSON.
An Austrian Said to Have Invented ~
Modern Screw Propeller.

The Austrians have just been cele-
brating the centenary OF Joseph Res
sci, n of the many claimants to the
honor Of being the inventor OF the
screw propeller, by q festival in front
Of his statue in front of the Poly
technic Institute of Vienna. 1t is
said that Resell, who died in poverty
and neglect in 1857, described his
plan for using the Archimedcan screw
for the propulsion of ships as long
ago as 1879, but it was not until 1929.
when all his earlier patents had
lapsed for want Of money to renew
them, that he succeeded in interest
ing u Trieste merchant Fontana. in
his device, and securing - trial for It
on board u small steamer called the
Cidctta. Unluckily for him one of
his steam pipes burst, and the au-
thOrities thereupun forbade all fur
ther experiments. Poor Resell was
derided on all sides. and was asked
whether he wished to bore a hole in
the sea The New York Evening
Post says there is no doubt that he
was a genius IN his way, or that he.
in commcn with many others. was
working on the principle of the screw
for some years before Ericsson OBJ
tanned his patent in 1896. John
Bourne, in his Treatise on the screw
propeller, describes 1875 different in
vcntions, but does not even mention
the name of Resell. although a mon
ument to the memory of the latter
had been erected already at Vienna
Ericsson's plea for u patent was con-
tested stoutly in the English law
courts, but he was able to prove that
the only propeller in use before 1886
was the Archimedean screw, and one
with arms like the vane of a smoke
jack. Captain Delisle, a French en-
gineer, presented a design for a sub
merged screw to the ministry of ma
rine as early as 1923. But the Aus
trian inventor must have been q re-
markable man. for in the list of his
inventions, which persisted for want
Of money, may be found steam tram
ways, the pneumatic tube. iron ribs
for ships and bent wood for furniture.

Flowing Under Dew.

We knew a farmer once, says the
American Cultivator, who claimed
great benefit from blowing and culti-
waiting land while its foliage was wet
with dew. His theory was that the
dew had much more ammonia and
carbonic acid gas than had rain water,
and that these il turned under the
surface, could not fail to enrich the
soil. We think there is something in
that practical farmers theory. There
is at least the advantage that the man
who tries that plan must needs be
up bright and early, and ii he works
till IL o'clock can we'll afford to take
two or three hours incoming during
the hottest part Of the day. This is
better for both men and teams than
beginning late and taking no rest ex-
cept a hurriedly-eaten dinner until
work stops. 1t is the continuous
work without rest that is most ex-
haustive, and If getting the dew I'M
der the soil adds fertility, the days
work ought to begin early, and the
rest come an hour or two before noon.
But dew. even IL not plowed under,
helps the soil that it drops on. Every
one has noticed that when heavy
dews fall on clover, grass or corn,
then drops of dew fall from the leaves
upon the ground. The soil absorbs
the carbonic acid and ammonia when
the dew touches it. The effect of
plaster Of paris to increase the dew
fall may be n of the reasons why it
helps clover and other crops SO re-
markedly as it often does 1t has
little or no fertiiizing properties in
itself, but when it is placed on any
kind of vegetation 1t enormously in
creases the dew-fall upon it, and that
helps both the plant and the fertility

Hints for Dairymen.


THE Babcock test is revealing the
true condition of things in the dairy.
The wise dairyman provides soil
ing crops to patch out the dry pastures
during the summer time.
IT costs more to bring a cow back
to full flow of milk in summer than
it does to keep her up to it.
You can prevent a cows kicking by
buckling a strap tightly around the
body just forward Of the udder.
No CALF should be raised for dairy
purpose from a COW of weak constltu-
tion or n with organic disease.
BULKY food should always be ted
with concentrated food, to avoid pos
sible discomfort and injury from the
latter.
The bestdairymcn practice the best
economy in feeding when they feed
all the COW will eat up clean and no
more.
IT is poor economy to turn a herd
of cows into a large pasture and allow
them to roam about all day. when all
they get is exercise.

Shaw in She Review Of Reviews.
Farm lads are learning real things,
While the town boys too often are
merely studying in books the pale re-
Election of things. The farmer hoy
knows early about land and soils;
about crops and their rotations; about
the seasons and the weather and the
signs Of the sky. He grows up in
familiar acquaintance with animals
He owns q dog, he has a favorite
horse, he rides wild colts, he feeds
the horned cattle. He helps in the
planting and in the harvesting. He
Is usually versed in wood lore and
knows trees and plants, birds, souri,
rels. rabbits and groundhogs. He
hunts with a gun and goes fishing.
He develops superb health. He helps
repair the fences. He learns about
tools and masters the complexities Of
farm machinery. In short, the range
of his practical knowledge becomes
very great. There is more reading
done in our farm nelghborhoods than
in u cities; and the good typical
farm home has its newspapers always
and its magazines quite frequently
Nor are the district schools so infe-
rior. though their quality varies much
from year to year. With a good
teacher in charge, the country dis
trict school is better than the city
graded school, because it is more free
from mere machinery and better
adapted to develop the individuality
Of pupils Hundreds OF men and
women of high standing and wide
experience to-day are thankful for the
little wooden country school-house of
their childhood days, in which the
educational methods pursued were
infinitely more scientific and valua-
bile than those now followed in many
of our city schools.

SMASHED THE CRYSTAL.
Curious to Know Whether an Oft-Isepeated
Tale Was True.

Tale Was True.
To say what you mean and mean
what you say is a good rule to follow
always, says Harpers Young People.
An amusing story which illustrates
the value of this course wa told some
years ago by an old gentleman who
was visiting u rolling mill for the
first time. He had heard wonderful
stories of the machinery in the mill,
and he vas DESTROYS of putting some
of them to test.
81 have been told," said he to the
Zimmerman. as he watched the great
steam hammer rising and falling,
THAT a goud Zimmerman can break
the crystal of a watch with that
thirty-ton hammer"
"Yes, SIR" said the Zimmerman;
sit can be done"
~ should like to see It," said the
old gentleman, eagerly feeling in his
watch pocket
81 can do it, sir"
"And will you?:" said the visitor,
drawing out his watch. .Come, I
am anxious to see it tried"
He laid his watchon the great anvil
plate, the hammer rose to its height,
and the next instant all its ponderous
weight. with a crushing force that
shook the ground for an acre round,
came down on the watch.
ssThere, sir" said the Zimmerman.
quietly, s'if you don't believe that
cystal is broken, just stoop down and
you can see it sticking to the ham,
mer."
The curious old gentleman swal.
lowed a whole procession of Jumps
and gasps before he could speak.
But forgot to say, he exclaimed.
that it was to break the crystal
without injuring the watch"
"Oh, yes" said the Zimmerman
Eyes, 1 know; I have heard that rub
bish myself, but it's all CANNON. I
don't believe it. But you can break
the crystal every time"
If the visitor had said what he
meant he would undoubtedly have
saved his watch, but it must be con-
tessed that il the Zimmerman had
not been one OF the meanest men in
the world he would have saved it any,

Future of the Horse Breeder.

The future of the horse. breeder
seems to be a matter of moment at
this time. The advent of electricity
as a motor for surface cars is displac-
ing large bodies of horses that were
formerly used for such purposes To
this we must add roads that are u.s.
ing ard are about to adopt cables.
These throw on the market a large
contingent of animals. The presence
of such a volume of horses, far in ex-
cess of the needs of buyers, ruins
prices. The bicycle is another factor
that is replacing the horse in some
degree. Its extended use in the near
future will enlarge this very materi-
ally. Yet with this decreased de-
mand the supply does not indicate
diminution. The breeder seems to
be intent on the production of that
class of horse in largest quantity for
which there is least inquiry. The
demand which the surface railroads
created for horses while they de-
pended on them for motive power is
rapidly passing away in every section
OF the country. The class of animals
suited for that work will gradually
disappear. Under these changed
conditions we believe the breeders
would do wisely if they paused long
enough to learn the demands of the
horse market of the immediate fu-
ture. That these will be circum-
scribed is evident when the causes we
have mentioned are recalled. OF
course, the farmer will breed the
horse that best meets his require
ments, but the breeder must await;
the settling of the market that it
may formulate the classes of horses
that are most profitable for him to
breed and scll.-American Dairyman.
