cheapness and simplicity Of the common
native made article tends to make skating
general among the male element.
Skating is a business with the Chnaman
rather than Il sport. He contrives to turn
the frozen canals into convenient highways
for his merchandise, as they do in Holland
and Denmark. Passengers are carried in
sledge chairs, propelled by an active celestial
on skates and there is no more enjoyable
way of making a tour round the seventeen
miles of wall which encircles the ancient
city of Pekin than in sledges of this de-
scription. The canals afford facilities for
locomotion which are not to be found in
the dirty streets, crowded as they are with
overworked humanity
The Chinese do not aim at great speed
of progression; but they are, nevertheless
fairly qualified adopts in their way, and
there have been some efforts made to in
troduce ice yachts out there, which would
indeed be grand thing, not only for sport
but for the transport of goods at time
when all traffic is practically at stand

DAIRY PROBLEMS.
Estimating the Cost of Pound of
Butter,

buttSls
The cost of pound of butter is the most
interesting of dairy problems. Experiments
at the Wisconsin Station with good cows,
giving an average of three hundred pounds
per year, indicate ten and one half cents
per pound for the butter. During the
winter months the average cost per pound
was 1879 cents. Some COWS OF beefy build
made the butter cost us high as eighteen
cents in winter; others produced it at below
eleven cents, showing that the individual
COW has much to do with the problem, but
the average was as stated. The cost of a
COW keep per year was placed at an aver
age OF $50, but i'll Wisconsin hay is worth
only $3.50 per ton; cornmeal Sl4, and bran
S11. However, the proportions of yield
with the different types OF cattle will
hold good in the East The productive
capacity of IA COW depends more upon type
and conformation than upon size or breed.
Those OF the beef type produced butter fat
at cost of seventeen and a-half cents per
pound; those carrying medium amount
of flesh produced butter fat at IA cost of
fifteen and one-tentn cents per pound; the
spare COWS, lacking in depth OF body, pro-
duced butter fat at a cost OF fourteen and
siX-tenths cents per pound, and the spare
COWS, having deep bodies, produced butter
fat at cost of twelve and one-tenth cents
per pound during the winter.

CATS EYES.
Their Normal Form Is the Same As the
Human Eye.

The pupil of a cats eye ordinarily ap-
pears as long, narrow oval or a straight
vertical black line The animal seems to
be looking through mere Sits in the iris of
its eye, especially when it faces the light.
In semi darkness the pupil widens into a
beautiful oval. One is accustomed to re-
gard the narrowness Of the pupil as the
distinguishing popularity of the eyes of
cats. All animals of the cat family share
this popularity.
And yet, according to the results of "a
scientific investigation of cats eyes recently
made in England by Lindsay johnson, the
natural shape of their pupils is circular.
BY yaring the quantity of light entering
the eyes he has seen the pupils of cats and
tigers change from straight lines to perfect
circles, and while under the influence of
atropne, which suspends for time the
muscular control of the eye, they are always
circular.
The normal form of the cats pupil is,
but when submitted to the influence of
light its behavior differs. In bright light
our pupils become very small circles, while
those OF cat turn into ovals or narrow
Sits. The general effect is the same in
either cise-namely, to diminish the guam
tity of light passing into the eye.
Curiously enough i'll the larger animal
sometimes behaves exactly like human
pupil, and when brightly illuminated CON
tracts into minute circle instead of be-
coming linear. In the case of domestic
cats the older the animal the more frequent
ly does the pupil of the eye assume cir
cular form.

SKATING IN CHINA.
Everybody Tries 1t, but Few Can Be
Graceful.

1t is not generally known that the Chi
nese are great skaters-since the average
person supposes that China is, like Cali
fornia, ii land of perpetual sunshine and
flowers. Yet it is a fact that the capital of
China is icebound for nearly six months in
the year! The Chinese are not graceful
skaters. They use very inferior style of
skate, of their own manufacturer mere
chunk of wood arranged to tie on the shoe
and shod with rather broad strip of iron.
There is no attempt at elegance of design
OF at anything approaching spring fasten
ing. A pair of clamp skates when shown
to some native students in the Chinese
capital, produced unbounded astonishment
and admiration by their neatness. and

the result of his investigations
These facts explain the reason for Gov.
Hogg's firm determination to abandon for
ever political strife. He has within his
grasp money sufficient to make him a
millionaire, while he leaves the office of
governor with less money to his credit at
bank than when he was first inaugurated
by several thousand dollars.
AS soon as he retires he will himself
make trip to Mexico in company with
those interested with him in his mining
ventures, and will devote his time to fin

NEW ROAD-MAKING PRODUCT.

At Ilornsey, London suburb, the dust
of the district is collected and burnt, leav-
ing considerable residue in the shape of
clinker, and the coarser of this is found to
make excellent material for road making,
and will easy sell at two shillings per load.
The finer cllnker is put in a mortar mill
and, mixed with lime or cement, is used as
mortar and grouting, but there is still a
great deal left, and this it is stated, mixed
with fair quantity of Portland cement,
makes excellent paving stones, at about
half the cost OF those purchased from the
various patent stone makers. A section of
Southwood lands, iighgate at the entrance
to the railway station, has been laid with
this paving. 1t is said to be very hard and
wear exceedingly well.
