A USE FOR SPIDERS.
MI. Henderson Got Them to. Tackle
the All.Prevailinu Mosquitoes.

Mr. Henderson Got Them to Tackle
the All-Prevailing Mosquitoes.
A farmer by the name of Henderson,
who lives about five miles north of Green
wich, Conn, has been greatly troubled
for some years past with mosquitoes,
and has adopted singular method of
Kidding his household of them, says the
New York World. His farm is situated
very near the outskirts of secund growth
of trees and shrubbery, among which there
Is considerable number OF pines. The
pine tree is favorite Of the mosquito.
Farmer Henderson had read In the Sum
day World OF the tests made by the rev.
erend gentlemen on Long Island who tried
to drive away the importunate mosquito
by pouring oil an the ponds aud lakes in
the neighborhood. Unfortunately there
are no ponds or lakes In the vicinity Of
the Henderson farm.
After some days of deep study, however,
Mr.. Henderson transplanted young pine
tree to washtub and placed the tub in the
woodshed adjoining the house. In this
great quantities of spiders of various spe.
cies. and their webs are stretched in al.
most every availa bio nook. Farmer
Henderson calculated that the moeQuitoes
which usually loitercd about the house
would be attracted TO the woodshed by the
presence oe the pine, and that once having
entered the shed, the spiders would do the
rest. He was after the expiration of
week much gratified to find that the trou
blcsome insects had almost deserted the
main building, and that the webs OF the
spiders were well filled with the winged
game.
Mr.. Henderson's next move was to en-
deavor to introduce spiders on the tree and
encourage them to weave their webs among
its branches. He is not much of q natural
ist, but expects to establish Il fair colony
of spiders before long, and to permanently
relegate the mosquitoes to their clutches.

ABOUT COTTON.
The Growth and Consumption and the
First Mill In This Country.

The Growth and Consum ion and the
First Mill In This Country.
New York Times.
An interesting feature of the latest bull
letin of the Agricultural Department is
chronological table, giving summary Of
events relating to the growth and consump-
ton of cotton. 1t appears from this record
that the first cotton mill in the United
States was built at Beverly, Mass, in
1857. Eight years later good quality of
Georgia cotton was offered in New York
at Is 3d. a pound
When the nineteenth century began there
were five cotton mills in the United States,
and its manufacture had been begun in
Switzerland a nd Saxony. In 1903 dutyof
los. Cd. pound was imposed in Great
Britain on raw cotton imported. Cotton
was in great demand during the last ten
years of the eighteenth century, and prices
wree consequen ntly very high. In 1889 the
long drought and cotton Worm both tended
to shorten tie crop. The famous cotton
planters convention was held at Macon in
this year, and led to annual conventions in
other places.
The report says of the decade ending
1883: $50 far as prices are concerned this
was the most remarkable decade in the
history of cotton planting in this country.
Not only was the lowest price on record
reached in the United States, but it was the
longest known period of continuously low
: prices. 1t was remarkable for unpre-
cedentcdly large crops, with one or two ex-
ccptions and for the enormous accumulation
of stocks in Great Britain"
The reverse is true of the succeeding de-
cade. Both planters and manufacturers en-
joyed period of unexampled prosperity
during this decade. Although there were
wars and political disturbances in Europe
and financial panic, both at home and
abroad 1859, with a SUSPENSION of specie
payments in New York, consumption in
creased greatly in Europe and America.
keeping fair pace with the gradually increas-
ing crops, and thus maintaining prices
with unusual uniformity and profit to
planters ard manufacturers.-New York

TESTING MALLEABLE CASTINGS
1t Is No Longer Necessary TO Break
One of Each Heat.

1t Is No Longer Necessary TO Break
One of Each Heat.
The old method of testing mallea BILE
castings by breaking one of them, in order
to see how deeply the standardization has
penetrated, will soon be abandoned, II the
new French method is adopted By this
test, on pressing mallcable casting against
fast revolving emery wheel, if the de.
carburization has been sufficient, first a
shelflike pencil of sparks is seen, and
afterward one in which the lines appear to
separate into two or three. As, how
ever, the emery wheel penetrates into the
mass, ard the cast iron, which has not been
decarbIrized, is reached, the sparks as
sumo different appearance, one resem-
bling flowers, so that an appro ximate
guide is given to the thickness Of decarburi-
cation.
The inventor OF this method of testing
ciassifies the sparks into five types, viz
/, those resembling a wheat shcaf, COM
posed OF uninterrupted lines of light red
gradually increasing in thickness, but
suddenly becoming thin again before ex-
tinction, Characteristic of wrought iron;
2, those, resembling branches, or the first
named~ type separated into TWO or three,
indicating gradual transition between
wrought iron and steel; ,, stars com
posed of the two former classes, but
rather dark, and terminating in a bright
star, Characteristic of steel; 4, flowers"
constituted by n thin and dark stalk tcrrni-
mating in kind Of firc-work sun, charac-
teristc OF pig iron; and 5, dark sparks"
or interrupted single lines, generally pro-
duced from white forged pig, cenotiug
the facility with which the part icles
become detached before being sufficiently
heated TO ignite. 1t is said that with
very little practice the eye becomes trained
to determine the nature of n metal in ac-
cordaucc with the spark appearances.

OBJ ECT TO THE FLAG.
German Lutheran MS in Illinois Protes
Against T. State Law

German Lutherans in Illinois Protest
Against e State Law.
Chicago, Aug. 14.-The German Luthcraps
of the northern district of Illinois began
an important conference yesterday at the
town of Schaumberg, in this county.
Special interest attaches to their DELHI
erations because of the general opposition
which has been engendered among the Lu-
therans TO the school flag law passed by the
last legislature, making the hosting of the
stars and stripes over all educa tional insti-
tutions compulsory during certain hours OF
each school day.
The law has already been denounced by
the Lutherans in Milwaukee, and Judging
by the sentiment among the members of
the Illinois conference, resolutions will not
only be adopted denouncing the law as un-
constitutional and an attempt of the state
tointerfere with the church, blt all Lutheran
teachers and ministers will probably refuse
TO obey the law and work for its repeal, as
they did with the deceased Edwards law,

'.Dr. Henrotin felt of my pulse and looked

STERILIZING LIQUIDS
Novel Apparatus for Arranging Tenn
perature of Finds.

Novel Apparatus for Arranging Tenn
perature of Fluids.
A new apparatus for sterilizing liquids
has been invented by P. NJ. F. Laurent,
of Paris. This is formed by two thin
sheets of copper or brass, held apart
by suitable distance, strips are coilcd
round central tube to form two Sep
arate passages, conmnnica ting at the
center, whereby the liquid to be sterilized
may flow by one convoluted passage
from the outside, inward to the center
and back by the other spiral passage
to the outside. The central tube is
heated by gas flame. so that the liquid
is heated at the center, and as it flows
outward it gives up its heat to the liquid
flowing inward; SO becoming COO led ),
the ultimate result being that the tenn
peratures OF the iDgoing and outgoing
liquids are about the same; If not, it may
be cooled subsequently.
