The contract for the demolition Of

A novel method of issuing weather
forecasts has been instituted by n

what the future weather is likely to
be.
II. NJ. Stanley, the explorer, said
that certain portions of Africa would
always be worthless on account Of the
ravnges of tho grasshoppers. In one
instance he saw n column of young
grasshoppers ten miles broad by thirty

when the grass was fired against them,
they were thick enough to smother
the flames.
A resident OF England, who died ut

been bald, and then in some inexplic-
able way a heavy growth of hair sud
denly appeared, like that of an infant.

Making Fog to,Protcct Orange Trees

The newest method of protecting
orange orchards against frosts, con-
slsts IN creating an artificial fog, which
overhangs the trees and keeps them
from harm. 1t is u fact familiar
enough, that there is no danger from
frost on cloudy night; the clouds
prevent the rapid radiation OF heat
from the earth and thus serve as a
sort of blanket \ fog, which is an
earth cloud, serves the same purpose.
The orange growers of California
have found out way of making fogs
by article. They can create them at
any time within n few minutes. If
the night starts in clear and cold, with
prospects OF frost, the fog-making
machines are turned on, and very soon
the orchard is enshrouded in thick
mist. Thus protected, tue trees can
defy even severe frost. which under
ordinary circumstances would destroy
all expectation of crop of the yellow
and juicy fruit.
The orchard provided with the fog
making device is underlaid by a sys.
tenn of small pipes that carry water.
Connecte with these are perpendicular
pipes W uANh lot W ~ utlEul Ol lOIlN
leet in the air. There are one hundred
Of these perpendicular pipes in evry
ten acres Of trees. At the top Of euch
tall pipe are couple of "cyc ono
nozzles," which discharge the water
in fine spray in an upward direction.
All that is required is that the water
shall be turned on, and the air IL
charged with fine, fog.lille mist
All the underground pipes in tho
orchard unite in one common supply
pipe, which passes through the house
Of the Waterman in charge At any
time when the temporal, re sinks to
freezing point, the watcLmau by open
ing the cock of the supply pipe can
at once turn on the water TO all tho
pipes and spray nozzleS. The result
is thick fog, thrown by one hun
hred cyclone nOzzles over the entire
ten acres. The mist soon fills the air
to height of forty-fve feet, and uuy
breeze drifts it about like n bank of
log.
In connection with the apparatus is
an alarm thermometer. When the
temperature IN the orchard falls to
thirty-two degrees, an electric circuit
is completed and nm alarm wakes up
the wRtchman. Without delay he
turns on the fog, AMI then goes to bed
satisfied that the orchard is safe. New
York Journal.

Water. IncaSel Prison Cell.

There is on exhibition in Boston {
model OF cell for prisoners from

cally impossible to attempt an escape
without giving an alarm that would
bring n guard rushing up to his door
before either the lock on the door OF

The protection is not afforded primar
lily by electricity, although electricity
plays part in the device. The chiel
protective agent is water, which fill

steel tubes forming the entire cell.
The water is maintained in the tubet

rings continuously until the circuit IS
broken by the watchman. At the same
time that the bell rings, on an annun.

Unlike modern cells that are made
with solid steel bars, the floors and
ceiling do not have to he made of stee

cell is "a cage, The sides, floor, ceiling

they are by no means idle. Some help

the independence of their country.
He will not fail to remark at seeing
them so orderly engaged upon their
different tasks that they well deserve
to have their "Whlte House" trans.

There are in Cubitas several smith
