mirrors That Arc Transparent.

A great many devices are known fer
the purpose of enabling people in
house to see what is going on in the
street without opening their windows.
A new invention of this nature is re-
ported from Halberstadt, Germany, be-
ing plan for so silvering glass that it
reflects the image when looked at from
one side, but when looked at from the
other is as transparent as ordinary
window glass. If this is glazed in a
dwelling-room window anyone inside
can see all the life of the street, while
any passer-by looking in at the win
dow will see but mirror and nothing
more. This avoids, therefore, the
annoyance sometimes encountered in
glazing either clear window glass or
ground glass, in combining the special
advantages of both. One object would
be that many people might stop to ad-
just their personal appearance at such
mirrors. An innovation on reverse
lines is that recently made in one of the
Vanderbilt ball rooms, where the win
dows by day become large mirrors by
night through mechanical arrange
ments, and thus add simply but won
derfully to the brilliance of the scene.

MAN.EArgRs OF THE PACIFIC.
Sharks That Are the Dread of the Cali
fornlA Fishermen.

Sharks That Are the Dread Of the Cali
fornla Fishermen.
The true man-eater shark as taken
on the Pacific coast is known only as q
man-eater. The shovel-nosed sharks
are sand sharks, too cowardly to attack
even a yellow dog. The thirty-four
foot shark, captured by some fisher
men, of the true man-eater variety
(carcharodon carcharias), seemed brave
enough and savage enough to attack
anything within its reach This mon
sters mouth was wide, the teeth long
and sharp, with an inward incline.
The stomach would hold full-grown
man easily and good deal besides.
The fish became entangled in net Off
Point Lama. Two boats attacked the
vicious creature and finally succeeded
in punching an iron into its vitals. The
side of one boat was stove in by blow
forcible enough to knock one fisherman
overheard.
These sharks, says the New York
Tribune, have been known to attack
small boat, upset it and eat the oars
man. A man-eater over forty-two feet
long has been reported below San
Diego. The natives are said to live in
fear of this awful fish, which already has
the record of having eaten six men. 1t
has been shot frequently. The water
about it has been discolored with blood.
Yet the shark still lives The tiger
shark is as ferocious as the man-eater.
Another large shark hereabouts is the
basking shark. 1t is taken measuring
fifteen to forty feet in length. The
skin of one thirty-two feet long is at
Stanford University museum. 1t was
captured last March. This skin alone
weighs over fifteen hundred pounds,
while the sharks liver produced one
hundred and eighty gallons of oil.
These sharks, however, are sluggish,
lazy and do not bite people. Their
gill-rakers are on the whale model.
When entangled in q net they fre-
quently suffocate, as the net restricts
the gills.
California fishermen do not consider
five-foot sharks of much account when
from San Diego wharves black sea bass
are caught six to eight feet long,
weighing three hundred to FIVE
hundred pounds Such fish are
common. They are taken on shark
hooks and clotheslines. When hooked
the fish is allowed to swim about the
bay towing two-inch plank. When
he is exhausted the line is hauled in
and the fish killed with an az

CORN FOR LAYING HENS.

One of our Wake county subscribers
informs us that he read in THE PRO
GREssIVE FARMER some time ago re-
garding the advantages of feeding corn
to las ing hens. He only has twenty
hens and Immediately began to feed
them two ears of corn early in the
morning and four late in the afternoon.
The result has been entirely satisfac
tory. Since the first Of December he
has sold over n hundred dozen eggs
from the twenty hens, getting from 10
to % cents per dozen. In addition has
set about fifteen dozen and used a good
many az food. Our friend says the
poultry articles in The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER are alone worth the subscrip-
ton price of the paper.

NORTH CAROLINA INVENTORS

Have given to the world many nota-
BILE inventions. There is not a com
munity in the State that does not pos
sess one or more local geniuses, who
have ideas that r patentable, and
which if properly developed will bring
fame and fortune to their owners. Il
is often the case that some simple little
appliance devised by the housewife, the
storekeeper, the farmer and others to
expedite work or lessen labor, puts
into play an entirely new principle in
invention which may have far greater
value than is known to the originator.
North C~arolinians who have evolved
such ideas owe it to themselves and the
industrial enlargement of their S ate
to ascertain if the same is patenTable

who will take a personal interest in
the furtherance of inventive genius in
