Poultry In Texas.

The south, and Texas in particular,
offers an inviting field to poultrymen.
A Texan in The Poultry Journal says;
In climate we have much the advantage
of the north and east. On farm fowls
do well the year round with little shel.
ter or feed. This statement should be
uualified by the remark that during O
Texas "norther' or Kansas blizzard
they need both, but severe cold does not
come more than three or four times in 3
year and seldom lasts more than three
days. The temperature seldom falls be-
low 20 above zero. Sometimes where
fowls are exposed TO the severest weather
combs will freeze and egg production
will be checked for few days. but II
the farmer has not comfortable house
for bis fowls he usually hustles them
into his barn on under his house until
tho weather moderates, IN which case
the cold does no harm.
In this climate during three-fourths OF
the year q tree is more healthful for
fowls than close house, but the ideal
home for them Is u house walled on the
north and west aud lattieed oli tho south
and east exposures. Such u house viii
afford sufficient protection and yentila
lion the year round, Curtains should be
proylded for tho latlieed sides during The
coolest weather. As Ye frequently do

A poultry raiser says he bought three
pairs of fancy birds from breeder of
approved reputation and turned them
into his chicken houses with the rest of
his flock. He supposed they were all
right from the good name Of the fash
ionable breeder. But in q very short
time his whole premises began to fairly
crawl off with chicken lice. The vermin
had been spread by the six fowls bought
of the fancy breeder, A man who breeds
poultry for sale and sends them away

The polar currents contain less salt

The latest Vienna cane contains an
electric light and storage battery.
Sea water is said to contain all the
soluble substances that exist in the
earth.
Among the latest germ theories is
the one which AYERS that cedar. block

During the last three years the av.
erage number of deaths from malaria
in Italy has been forty-fve per 100,-

Among the Armenians it is estimat-
ed that from sixty to seventy per cent.
OF the children die from the two dis.
eases, typhoid fever and smallpox.
The difficulty of registering the
temperature at the bottom of the ocean
is due to the fact that at great depths
the thermometers are crushed by the
pressure.
Sergeant O'Keefe, who spent five
years in the observatory on Pixies
Peak, says that the lowest temperature
observed was fifty degrees below zero
the highest, sixty-two degrees above.
The particles of sand, stones, shells
and the like, brought up in the tallow

A German has invented q chemical
torch which ignites when wet. 1t is
to be used on life buoys. When one
is thrown to man overheard at night
he can thus see the light and find the

A great Photographic camera for

The bacillus of diphtheria is one
twenty-five-thousandth of an inch

throat it grows into network with
other bacilli produced from it, all op-
Grating together to produce O virulent

AS result of series of scientific
experiments in hardening steel in
rotary furnace, the Engineering and
Mining Journal concludes that the ele-
mentary principle of hardening is
very simple, and that the only Difficult.
ties to be overcome are concerned with
the equal heating and complete trans
formation of large masses of material.

Those who assert that the ostrich
lives on broken glass and iron nails
are not quite right; but that it swal-
lows pebbles to assist its digestion, as
do many other birds on lesser scale,
when in a state OF nature, and pieces
of wood, metal or what not, when in
a state of captivity, for the same pur.
pose, is most undoubted.
The strength of the ostrich is quite
equal to carrying man on it's back at
a rapid rate of progression. The Afri-
cans often use it for riding purposes.
DR.. Livingstone tells us that the legs
of an ostrich running at full speed can
no more be seen than the spokes in the
wheel of vehicle drawn at u gallop.
The ostrich can run thirty miles an
hour, and the Arabs would never be
able to overtake them but for the
strategems employed. They first fol-
low them for day or two without
pressing too closely but sufficiently to
prevent them from taking food. When
they have tired out the hungry bird,
they pursue it at full speed, and, TAX.
ing advantage of fact we'll known to
them-that the ostrich always de-
scribes curve in its course-them-
selves make a direct straight ''short
cut" and SO gradually get within
reach.
Each adult bird produces about half
pound of white and three pounds OF
black feathers. Those from the male
bird are most highly esteemed, and all
are in best condition when plucked
from the living bird. Atlanta Consti-

Well, the little rascal has naturally a

succeeded in exchanging it for two

A number of prominent New York
physicians were recently interviewed
in regard to the use of hypnotism in
their practice. They ali admitted
that they resorted to hypnosis when
other means failed, and that by this
means they often cured obstinate
cases Of insomnia and of dipsomania.
The cure OF the drink habit by hypno-
tism is no new thing, but it is q nov.
city to find leading physicians resort
ing to 1t. In the same way some fa-
nous surgeons hypnotize patients
who object to anesthetics, and in this
way perform operations while the sub
iect is unconscious of pain. The sub
jeot is very interesting one, and de-
spite the study made of it by many
experts in medicine no one has yet
been able to explain why one person
is an easy subject and another a difi.
cult one.

wore what on the stage is called IA
"shape, complete suit OF padding
from neck to ankles, worn next the
skin. OBs night he was playing in IN

and was able to dispense with it. In
the course OF the performance nn ap.

A plea is being made for the observ-
ance of "bird day" in our schools,
with the hope that it will create an en-
thusiasm and love for birds, and a
love OF nature which now has its Begin

teachers arc too busy to make that
preparation necessary for a successful
observance of such day, why may not
the women's clubs, as a writer in the
Outlook suggests, shed their sweetness
and light on the school children occa-
sionally, and end the hour or two de-
voted to the work by a simple after
noon tea to their little guests? This
surely would be a practical work, in
the estimation of the New York Post,

The velocity of caunon-ball is now

A curious case OF dual brain action
is described in Brain. An insane pa
tient varied considerably in his men
tai condition; in one state he was sub
iect to chronic mania, spoke English,
was fairly intelligent, and was right
banded in another state he was sub
iect to dementia, was almost unintelli-
bic, but what could be understood was
Welsh, and he was then left handed.
In his English intervals he remem-
bered clearly what had happened in
previous English periods, bGt his
memory was blank to what occurred
during the Welsh stages. He pre-
ferred to write with his right hand,
and then wrote from left to right, but
if asked to do SO, would write with his
left hand, and then the writing was
from right to left. Mr.. Bruce, who
observed the case, infers from it that
the cerebral hemispheres are capable
of individual mental action, that the
one mentally active at any time can
control the motor functions, and that
the patient lives two separate exist
eneeu during the two stages through
which he passes, the mental impres.
slons in each existence being recorded
in one cerebral hemisphere only.
