If you require proof that we do, sup
pose that We have for breakfast nice
fresh roll which eats like n piece Of
cake, will we not eat more heartily than
if we had to partake Of bread two or
three days old?
Can il be affirmed that il is absolutely
necessary TO have several courses for
dinner: After the second course we only
ear for the sake of eating. There is no
doub, that we eat more than enough TO
satisfy our hunger.
Ii we compare the quantity Of food
which satisfies peasant and that which
is considered necessary for rich man,
we shall be inclined to think that they
belong TO q different species.
A fisherman will be contented with S
piece Of bread aud cheese, but the tour
ist who goes with him takes a tremen-
dous hamper crammed full. II is not be-
cause physiological necessity is more ex
acting in the one man than in the
other, but because the gentleman is ac
customed 10 eat, not according 10 the
dictates Of hunger. but until all the
courses are cxhausted-and in many
cases until it is materially impossible to
eat more.
The Arab who accompanies the sports
man on an excursion i'll the desert finds
a piece Of hard bread and few dates
sufficient for his wants; the sportsman
is afraid Of dying of hunger if he does
not take with him several baskets Of
provisions, boxes Of preserved meat and
the like. London Tit-Bits.

Harder Than Diamonds.

When boron is made TO act upon car.

mace. two bodies are formed, one Of
them stable, the other attackable by a
mixture Of potassic chlorate and acetic
acid. The first Of these has the formula

says il is obtained by the direct union
vi boron with carbon III the electric fur
mace and in other ways which are indi-
Gated by the author.
Boride Of carbon belongs to the same
class of compounds as silicide OF carbon
carbide of silicon). Like the latter, it
possesses great stability and great hard
ness. IL occurs in brilliant black crys-
tails. having the density Of 2.5l. Heated
10 1000 degrees g. In oxygen gas. 1t
burns slowly and with more difficulty
than the diamond, yielding carbonic
acid and black residue coated with
melted boracic acid. The most curious
property of this new compound Is its ex-
cessiye hardness. While silicide Of car
bon scarcely polishes the diamond and
does not cut il, facets may be produced
on the diamond by using the dust of
boride OF carbon. The latter is very
friable 1t can be pounded fine in
mortar, then mixed with oil and used
instead Of diamond dust for cutting
diamonds.
The hardness of this boride is appar-
emily less than that Of the diamond,
since it grinds more slowly, but the
facets are cut with great clearncss, aud
it is the first example Of definite sub
stance capable Of cutting the diamond.
The compound therefore is harder than
silicide of carbon. Popular Science

ODD BILLIARD FACTS.
Making = Table In Day-rhe Balls Sea-
soned In Incubators.

A billiard table can be built in %
hours If carte blanche is given to the
manufacturer, but he prefers TO have
time 10 get the right effects from one
month TO SIX The wood needs to be sea-
soned for period Of nearly seven years.
Rich, deep Spanish mahogany is used,
pollard oak, ebony and satin wood.
Tables are not always covered in
green. Blue is sometimes used and a
pure olive green. The late Prince Leo,
pold was the first 10 make use of the
latter color, and olive green is known
today in the billiard world as Prince
Leopold's color.
The balls must be well seasoned be-
fore they are used for play. Manufac-
turers have incubators in which TO store
them that they may undergo the drying
process. Some incubators will hold fully
3, coo balls When they are first made,
they are green" Solid ivory Is the
only satisfactory material Of which TO
make them artificial balls (those
made Of compoSition) are much heavier
and do not wear well. English makers,
to give the red balls perfect color,
steep them in q decoction that is some
times described Is the "guardsman'
bath. " This Is extracted from the old
coats Of Tommy Atkins, and for bill
lard balls it is the finest scarlet dyo
known. New York World.

DAIRY cHANuIss.

How many farmers outside Of regular
dsirymen ever take time to test their
cows and calculate whether or not they
are profitable and paying for their keep
After you have secured good cows,
feed them scientifically, and practice ali
of the arts of fine butter making, you
still may not be making money because
your skim-milk Is too rich.
think the salt added To the butter In
the granular state works through the
butter more evenly than the other way,
and the extra water in the butter pre-
vents any securing action on the butter
TO iDjure It's grain. Butter having little
water in il is easily damaged by work
ing to the injury Of It's grain.
In this work Of improving the dairy
the farmer should not neglect the getting
of the best bulls possible for the use OF
his herd. Often these can be obtained
quite as cheaply as young calves, and
can be safely shipped by express to al
most any part of the country. In this way
the cost need not be very great and then
the farmer can grow up the animals as
h shall consider To be best In his par
ticular ease.
The milk producing powers of Short
horns have not been kept up to their
earlier standard. While the demand for
such cows Is as great, even better than
formerly, the deep milking Shorthorns
are now few and far between. Even
those earlier families introduced into
our state, and handed down in the same
line of breeding, are not showing the
milking powers Of their ancestry, while
in other cases they have been bred with
sires of the beef-mskirg type.-Maine

The Mirage.

Lord Raleigh says that rhe delusion
of water appearing in mirages on hot.
sandy plains is due 10 the fact that the
undis,urbed stratum Of air near the earth
is highly rarefied. A ray Of light falling
very obliquely upon this stratum and be-
ing totally reflected reaches the eye Of
an observer just as it would if reflected
from water. The phenomenon Is, strict
ly speaking, one Of refraction rather than
reflection. Now, just as the glass lens
forms an image OH the screen, so the
crystalline lens Of the eye forms an i'm
age ON the retina or sensitive back part
Of the eye. This retina image Is invert-
ed. as all retina images are, and being
projected TO another strata Of rarefied air
above has the effect Of making the de-
lusion perfect. Raleigh further says
that there has been much unnecessary
speculation in connection with the the
ory Of inverted retina images, the mys-
tery being that we do not see all things
inverted. The truth Of the matter is
now look for something you never saw
in a book-we do not see the retina i'm
age at all (; we only feel il. IL we could
see the image on the eye Of some one
else, we would certainly see it inverted.

OVERRIDING CALVES.

At the New \ ork State Dairymen
conference, r. =. Peer said:
The calf is the foundation OF the pros
periIy of the herd. believe that many
good dairy cows have been spoiled by
TOO good care of the calf. In feeding
corn meal for show purposes the calf
becomes more suited for taking on OF
flesh than for making milk. So in feed
ing the calves, they are too often over
fed. The danger Of feeding COW In
calf Is not wholly appreciated. The ex-
mayor Of Toronto brought out twin Jer-
.ev calves for exhibition. They were
pets, but could not take prize. He had
killed his calves by Kindness. They
we're more At for beef than for milk.
In Jersey the practice OF farmers Is TO
feed their cows on skim milk and roots.
This Is Why Jersey has developed typ
ical dairy COW. They never have the
pedigree craze there either. The cattle
are thin, have good lungs, are scrawny
and ugly as calves, and have a sharp,
wedge-shaped back.
30, in feeding d Try calves we should
be very particular not TO over-feed them.
The calf ought to have big, round,
meaty shoulders. | want L. say word
sgsinst buying calves from cows that
are noted a. mixers. Such cows are
made, and seldom leave any offspring
which are their equals. Don't buy on
pedigree, but select your calves and
make them yourself.

CAN The COST or CROPS BE REAL
lZED IN FEEDING STOCkl

FROM AZ. l.. Leland's Farmers
Column" in the iiscataquis Observer, we
copy the following suggestive article:
Last week We talked OF the loss that
too often comes In feeding stock, and
promised TO attempt TO point out a more
profitable way Ia feeding so much OF
farm crops as are fed AZ home 10 the
farm stock. In beginning We ask the
farmer first of all to sit down aud take a
careful inventory of the crops grown,
10 determine their cost TO him.
As an example 10 illustrate, suppose
farmer \ has this year harvested 10
tons of hay, that he has also grown two
acres of corn, and four acres OF mixed
grain. We will not take into account
other crops raised, as these will include
