FRENCH sIGNBOARDs
How They Are Protected From the
Public.

In the country districts in France
boards are put up, telling people what
animals and insects should not be killed
and the reason, and also which ones
should be eXterminated in order to
afford protection to the farmer. First
or the board is this:
This board is placed under the pro-
lection of the common sense and hon
esty Of the public"
And, of course, after that no man or
boy would mar or remove the board.
Then follows these instructions:
Hedgehog lives upon mice, snails
and wire worms animals Injurious to
agriculture Don't kill a hedgehog.
TOAD helps agriculture, destroys
twenty to thirty insects hourly. Don
kill toads.
Mole destroys wire worms, larvae
and insects injurious to the farmer.
No trace of vegetables is ever found in
his stomach; does more good than
harm. Don't kill moles.
"Cockchafer and its larvae-deadly
enemy to farmers; lays seventy to 100
eggs. Kill the cockchafer.
''Birds-Each department of France
loses yearly many millions of francs by
injury done by insects. Birds are the
onlu enemy capable of battling with
them vigorously; they are great helps
to farmers. Children, don't take
birds nests.
And so on the instructions read.
Among the animals which need killing
on a farm are mice and rats, and the
reason they increase in spite of the
constant warfare of cats and dogs is
because the boys on the farm kill the
animals that would destroy the pests
If they had chance.

Pasteur and the Microbes.

There is a rather good story told
about Pasteur. He was dining with his
daughter, her husband and their fam
lily one evening in their country resi-
dence in Burgundy. Che rries formed
part of the dessert, and the savant ate
a good many, taking care, however. to
dip the fruit well IN a glass of water
and then TO wipe it thoroughly dry be-
fore putting it to his mouth. His scru-
pulous care caused mild laughter at the
table, whereupon Pasteur gently re-
buked his relatives for their indiffer-
ence to the fact that the exteriors of the
cherries were covered with infinitesi-
NAL and and invisible microbes. He
then launched forth into a long argu-
ment to prove the existence of the UNI
seen animalculae, and wound up by
advising his hearers never to touch
fruit without washing It, A few mo-
ments afterward the savant, who had
fallen into one of his fits of abstrac-
ton, suddenly seized the glass in which
he had washed the cherries, and drank
the water and the microbes contained
therein at single draught.-Paris Cor

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 15.-National
Democratic Chairman Harrity. when
questioned about the story that he fav-
ored New York as the place of meeting
for the next National convention, had
this to say:
Il have no personal or political choice
as to the convention city, other than
that I should, of course, like TO see a
city selected that would be reasonably
convenient of access to the delegates
and others who win attend, and which
by reason of its hotel accommodations
viii be able to provide for the comfort
of those present"
Speaking of the time of the conven-
ton. he said: 1T seems TO me im-
practicable to expect to hold the con-
vention later than the latter part OF
June or the beginning of July, although
some may contend for later date. II
The record-union., 1895-12-17

the nominations should be made in the
first week of July, it would mean a
nominal campaign of four months, and
an actual campaign in which
the public would take an interest of
less than three months. The first month
or six weeks of campaign would ne
cessarily be devoted to preliminary
work, in which the general public would
take little or no interest"
Mr. Harrity declined to express an
opinion as to the Collins resolution
limiting the number of persons in the
convention han TO delegates, alternates,
members of the National Committee
and members of the press. 1t is gen.
orally understood, however, that he per-

Mining Monazite Sand.

Raleigh, N. C., dispatch says: A new and profitable mining industry Is now being pushed in this state. Seven years ago some northern miners were washing over the gravel of the old gold mines of Golden Valley, in Rutherford county, and in this work they discovered very heavy bright yellow or blnisb sand, that remained or settled to tba bottom with the gold. This sand was sent north and was analysed, and was found to contain thoria, and was really more valuable than the quantity of gold found mixed wi:h the sand, because 1t was the best material used in the man. uiacture of burners for incandescent gas lights. This sand is known as monazite, and in composition is what the chemists denominate a phosphate of number of rare earths which are called refractory" earths, because they are exceedingly difficult to melt or to decompose.
 The percentage ot thoria in the monazite varies from one to two per cent. and in some cases to more than six per cent. It is found in the hard rocks oi the South Mountain region, which con. tsins from l,60O 10 2,50o square miles, situated in Burke, McD,weil, Ruther. ford, and Cleveland counties.
 The economic value of the monazI,e lies in the ihoris which 1t contains. Thoria Is used, as has been said, in the manufacture of incandescent lights. This thoria. when dissolved ou, of the mona. zite, is placed on thin wire gauge cyl finder, which when heated by the burn. ing gas, instead of burning up, as some other substance would do, 1t gIows like metal heated Co white heat. This is what gives the brilliant light. This light does not flicker at all like the ordinary gaslight. It is much more brilliant, and is in every way superior to the ordinary gaslight. It is claimed that one half of the gas used will give, with this thoria burner, brighter light than the full amount of gas would give without it.

Electric Power.

Transmission can be used to advantage with standard forms of machines as fol. lows: First, where large water power is available at considerable distanee from the mill which is in need of more power than can be obtained from the wsisr privilege at the mill itself Sec ond, where, owing to the separation of buildings, or peculiar local requirements it is desired to transmit power further than can be done by belting in order to avoid the instailment of individual steam plants in each building. Third, where small water privileges are available at various points on stream, but in order to become useful the power must be concentrated at one point without too great expense for maintenance and operation of the individual parts of the system. Fourth, where for various req. sons in securing mill site it is desirable to locate at considerable distance from the source of power on account of the fact that the land immediately adjacent to the privilege ir not suitable for locs. tion. Fifth. where for special reasons it is important to do away with shafting throughout the mill Exchange.

Unwitting Praise Of the Enemy.

A good deal OF amusement was
created here by the predicameut in
which New York newspaper found
itself one day last week, says the
Washington CORES poudent Of the
Chicago Times-H Herald. The repub-
licau organ is noted for its bitter
ness against Secretary Gresham, aud
distinguished rs the paper which
not long ago brought forth the
theory that Mr.. Gresham's mind
must be unsound. 1t had promptly
seized upon the Alliance incident
and published . stirring editorial
setting forth the policy which
should be pursued by this govern
ment. 1t declared that the s, ate de-
part msnt should demand an i'm
mediate apology OF Spain and a
guarantee that there should be no
further interference with American
ships. Its Arguments were support
ed by citations from Wharton, and
the editor succeeded in making out
a very good case. II happened, how
ever, that on the day before this edi-
t ,rial appeared Secretary Gresham
mad sel,C his now famous dispatch

enough to take the editor into his
confid, nee. Just as the fre-eatiug
republican journalist was about to
launch forth one of his terrible dia-
tribes sgainst the un-American
secret airy OF state came the news
that Mr.. Gresham had already done
precisely what the editor had said
should be done. This has put the
great moral organ in a dilemma,
and the only way II could escape
was by defending the policy OF the
state department, even at the ex-
panse Of its dearest convictions
concerning the usefulness and patri-
otism OF the secretary OF state.
