A Demand for Draft Horses.

and can be sold at figure considerably

Arbutus Budding in November.

A friend of mine brought from Cape
Cod yesterday some plants of the trail
ing arbutus which he dug on a hillside
at Sandwich, and which he proposes
transplanting at his suburban home. He
tells me that he has been quite successful
in small way in this branch of floricult-

he had yesterday was the fact that many
of them were budded and seemingly
ready to blossom. He tells me that he

2 A Hint About the Walks.

Now that wet weather has come it is
important that walks to the roadway
from the house and to barns should be
put III the best condition. A board or
plank walk to the house with a corn
#husk mat at the door cost very little in
proportion to the saving of labor in the
house and the health and comfort Sc
cured by preventing dust. Such walk
viii last. for years, and it will pay i'll
the "a wing Of labor alone a larger inter-
est than can be got from most farm im-
provements. a gravel walk is better
than nothing, but unless the gravel can
be procured very, near, it's cost will be
quite as great as. that of laying plank
walk. Unless there is sufficient depth
of stone Under the gravel to make a
drain for water 1t is likely not to last as
long as a walk made Of boards nailed to
stringers SO as to keep them from touch
ing the soil. A good board or plank
walk will save the housewife much la
Dor, and it will also protect the grass
along the path from being trampled into
mud during the winter and spring.

Iridescence Of Mother of Pearl.
G. E. Benham has found by expert

to the thinness of the plates or laminae
Of which the pearl is built up. 4 little of

ELECTROLYSIS.
A Mysterious Agent Which Is Playing Havoc
 With 6as and Water Pipes.

That electricity is a good thing has never been denied. yet 1t appears from recent developments that it has it's bad elements.
 One of its serious drawbacks has been manifested here, and how far it will extend in this city remains yet to be seen. The scientific name for the draw back referred to is !" "electrolysis" In plain English, it means destruction of water and gas pipes by the fluid, though not in direct contact with them.
 One of the gas pipes leading into the Age-Herald building was taken up yes terday by MT. Byron of the Birmingham Gas company, and was found to be eaten through in several places. This pipe ran directly under the track of the Birming- ham Railway and Electric company and was about feet below the earth's sur face. The mysterious agent had gotten in Its work on the pipe, and proved what science has already discovered as re gards 'electroysis."
 The American Gas Light Journal of September has volumlnous article on the subject, with a number of cuts illus trating the results, the cuts in two instances showing portions of pipe which had suffered exactly as had the gas pipe taken up in front of the AgeHerald building.
 To give one an idea of what research has been made as to the agent the fol- lowing from Cassier's Magazine is repro duced:
 l. All single trolley railways. employ ing the rails as portion of the circuit, cause electrolytic action and consequent corroson of pipes in their immediate vii cinity, unless special provision Is made to prevent 1t. -f
 2. A fraction of a volt difference of po- tential between pipes and the damp earth surrounding them is sufficient to induce the action.
 8. Bonding of rails, or providing me tallic return conductor equal in sectional area and conductivity to the outgoing wires, Is insufficient to wholly prevent damage to pipes.
 4. Insulating pipes sufficiently to pre- vent the trouble is impracticable.
 5. Breaking the metallic continuity of pipes at sufficiently frequent intervals is impracticable.
 G. It Is advisable to connect the posi- tive pole of the dynamo to the trolley lines.
 2. A large conductor, extending from the grounded side of the dynamo entirely through the danger territory and con nected at every few hundred feet to such pipes as are In danger, will usually in- sure their protection.
 g. It is better to use a separate con ductor for each set of pipes to be pro- tected.
 to water or gas pipes will not insure their safety.
 TO- Connection between the pipes and rail, or rail return wires, outside of the danger district, should be carefully avoided.
 Il. Frequent voltage mea surements be- tween the pipes and earth should be ob- ductors made as the measurements in dicate.
