A Queer Creature.

The West Indian migratory crab is

these creatures migrate in thousands
from the uplands of Jamaica. deposit
their larvse in the sea, then migrate TO
the rivers and streams, pass through
fresh water stage, after which they
follow their parents to land until the
time comes for them TO return to the
sea to lay their eggs.

Piercing Armor Plates.

Armor plating has not been discussed
so much recently as it was two years

most invulnerable yet discovered. But
no sooner is such question settled"
than the experiments are resumed TO
find guns TO send projectiles capable Of
penetrating the heaviest and best. ="

The Small Pro Vlders' Economies.

The tradition is current among
houSekeepers that there is great
economy in buying supplies in large
quantities. The learned of them will
dilate upon the amount that may be
saved by getting -four, sugar and
potatoes by the barrel, butter by
the tub, coffee by the bag. They
prove to you that YOU can put money
in your pocket by purchasing
crate of eggs at time, and picking
them for winter use. They buy
meat in a piece, as it were, and tell
You triumphantly how much they
can thus save in a pound over the
ordinary retail price.
While all these data are useful
and encouraging to the woman who
has big pantries and roomy cellar,
they strike dismay to the heart of
her who must, perforce, dwell in
fat. There is no place in her apart
ment for a barrel Of -four. If that
came in, one OF the family would
probably have to go out. The mere
thought OF buying bushel of pOta'
toes at a time seems like dream Of
extravaganza, and in her moments
ofwildest unreason she never con-
templated barrel Of sugar.
So when she reads or hears all
these wise counsels of notable
housewives, her heart sinks within
her, and she feels that she is an
extravagant wretch, who wastes her
income, IN that she buys sugar and
butter by the pound, potatoes by
the quart or small measure and
eggs by the dozen, or quarters
worth as they say in New York,
and Whereabouts. What does It'll
matter that her family is small and
would take week to consume a
quarter Of mutton? According to
the best judges she cannot practice
true economy unless she buys her
provisions in bulk
After while, if she is a woman
Of spirit, she plucks up heart, and
begins to DO a little figuring and
make a few estimates on her own ac-
count. And if she is clear.headed
and practical she finds before long
that there may be as much economy
in her mode Of living as there is in
that Of her neighbor who has larger
room to appear for there are I'M
doubted advantages in buying pro-
visions in small quantities. In the
face Of much evidence to the con-
trary one hou3ekeeper might hesitate
to make this assertion, were she not
backed up by the testimony of the
thrifty French, who bear the repu-
tation among all nations Of having
reduced or elevated - elegant
economy to a science. The French
housewife never buys her supplies
in large quantities-not only bread
and milk, but butter, potatoes, -four,
sugar, and the like are bought by
the day, So closely does she calcu-
late that frequently there IS not
enough left in the pantry at bed
time to provide the scantiest Of
breakfasts. The Italians follow the
same plan, and literally live day by
day.-Harper's Bazaar.

done. The mob departed and the sher-

Niagara Is Harnessed.

Harvesting Niagara has for years
past been pet phrase used to illustrate
what might be done in the way of future
progress. But during the past few days
it has become an plished fact On
January IS, the first manufacturing
concern to draw its power from the
great project, finished by the Contract
Construction Company, began opera
tons On that date the Niagara Falls
Paper Company developed 5000 horse
power by means of 3 inverted turbines
and water from the canal about which
SO much has been written during the
past year. Although this plant is but
one of many that will participate in the
power wrested from Niagara's mighty
energies it's starting practically marks
the finish of one of the great works of
age. Vast sums of money and the high
est engineering skill in the world joined
together to develop Niagara's great water
power The plan employed, although
simple, was in magnitude a mechanical
wonder, as it will when fully completed,
afford to various industries which will
bealick to see it's advantages, something
like 900 horsepower per hour. This
marks it as one of the notable indus
trial achievements of the century.
