New Printing Process.

Perhaps the most remarkable pro.
cess on view at the Royal Society re-
oeption was that for producing illus
trated magazines and newspapers
entirely by photography, dispensing
with enRravings and "halI-tone"
blocks, aud even with Typography.
Reels Of sensitized paper rush through
machinery which may be compared in
principle with the rotary web printing
presses.
In place of topographic cylinders
You have cylinders Of transparent

side, which sprint" the sensitized
paper with great rapidity as it passes
round them. Thence the web passes
through developing" and fixing"

press is even "set-up" photographically
by kind of typesetting machine, so
as to produce a negative of each line
automatically, 1t is said that a pop
ular illustrated monthly will, in all
probability be produced by this
method before long.

Eagles as Game Drivers.

Eagles are sometimes of consider.
able service to hunter, and this is
especially true of the eagles of the
Potomac River at Wide Water, where
President CLEVELAND shoots. Accord
ing to on American Field writer eagles
on a calm ddy often give the hunters
shots which they would not otherwise
get.
The eagle goes flying up and down
the stream and on seeing flock of
ducks goes toward them hoping to
get a cripple, being unable to capture
ducks as the peregrine falcon does.
When the ducks see the eagle coming
they jump into the mir and go look
ing for a safer locality, and this is
where the gunner comes in. The
gunner's place Of concealment in a
blind is not nearly SO safe as the eagles
vicinity, but the ducks think it is
safer till the shot go through their
feathers.
Three or four eagles will keep all
theducks on the move and the gunners
get good sport where they otherwise
would not have dirtied their gun
barrels The eagles sometimes steal
crippIes from the gunner, but the
knowing man does not hurt the rob-
Der birds, getting his pay back on
calm days.

Fish Take Sand as Ballast.

Fishing boats in the southern parts
Of the North Sea have recently COM
planned Of the fewness OF goldfish in
their catch, the captain Of steam
fishing smack declared that he had
foreseen this for eight days. His
clue was quantity of sand found in
the stomachs Of the fish caught. The
sand, if his observations are to be ac-
cepted, is taken in as ballast just be-
fore the fish leave the shallow sea of
the southern banks for the deeper
northern waters, and is elected when
the fish pre- pare for their southern
migration. The sand often differs
from that Of the bottom where the
fish are taken-a fact that may prove
valuable guide to fishermen. -Treu-

Nations That Save Money.

In countries like Russia and Spain,
and even so near at home as ireland,
much Of the savings is still kept in an
old stocking, or similar trustworthy
bank. But the savings banks are now,
all over the world, the receptacles Of
most of the working peoples savings
The Danes put more money in them
than any other people, depositing
three pounds to the Englishman's one.
The Swiss come next, and then the
Norwegians, who deposit just half Of
what the Danes put in.
The Germans are just as saving as
the Norwegians, and they are followed
by the Americans and Australians.
The lowest depositors Of all are the
Russians and the Spanish, who put in
only one pound to the Englishman's
thirty or to the Danes ninety.
And the Irish, Belgians and Cana
dams are not very much more thrifty.
The English, Austrians, Swedes, and
French have each about an equal sum
deposited in the savings banks. The
numbers Of the population who de-
posite money differ even more than
the amount Of money deposited

ELECTRIC PL0WS.
They Danish From the Farmers
Life an Arduous Feature.
A Stationary Engine Furnishes
the Elementary Power.

Science is really Ia q fair way 10 rob
the farmers life Of the arduous fent-
ures that have deferred the rising
generation from adopting it with en-
thusiasm. Milking machines are an
old story. Electricity has long swung
the gate that let the COWS out Of the
barn and into the long lane that held
the herd in its narrow confines until
the broad pasture was reached.
But now the electricity that Frank
lin SO successfully wooed has put its
powerful hand to the pillow, aud be-
sides furrowing the land, extracts the
potato from the carth's embrace.
France and Germany have found
the electric pillow success. Exceed
ingly favorable reports have been re-
ceived by the department OF agricul-
ture at Washington. Now it seems
more than likely that blowing by cleo
tricity will soon become common in
the United States.
The electric pillow has a great many
striking advantages. 1t does its work
much more conscientiously than any
farm hand could be expected to do,
and it may always be relied upon.
The woll-plowed field should be
turned upside down and the soil
crumbled to uniform depth, and the
electric pillow may always be relied
upon to do this, merely providing its
gauge has been properly set 1t is
also available for husbandry in a small
way. All other machine plows are
very expensive and cumbersome, and
can only be used on very large farms.
Electric plows are at present manu-
featured in many different sizes.
They are far less expensive than any
other form of machine pillow, besides
being far lighter in their construction
and therefore more portable. The
commonest form for farming on a
large scale consists of see-saw, tilt
ing or balanced pillow, provided with a
motor mounted on the pillow itself A
stationary engine furnishes the elemen-
tary power, through an electric motor,
to the pillow by means of wire. This
form does away with the wire rope
traction of most steam plows. A
chain is stretched over the field and
securely anchored at either end, and
the pillow is made to run along the line
of the chain. A laborer stands on a
little platform attached to the pillow
and regulates its movements by means
of lever.
In order to operate a pillow of this
kind an engine is used capable of de-
veloping from eight to twelve horse
power. Thisis placed in any convenient
position and the power is transmitted
by means Of two flexible wire cables.
Five or six such carriages are very
readily managed by boy. It is only
necessary for him to adjust the gauges
on the pillow and turn on the current,
and the pillow does the rest. The
largest field of an ordinary farm may
by plowed by this ingenious device in
about one-third OF the time it would
require to pillow it with the same
number of plows operated by horse
power. New York Journal.

A Remarkable Growing Hen.

Growing hens may come to bad
G nds eventually, just as whistling
girls are supposed to do, but Lon
don Field correspondent gives some
facts on the subject that seem to dis
prove the popular notion. The cor
respondent had three pullets in 1898,
which began to lay eggs in November.
During the year ending on October
81, 1894, the three had laid $50 eggs,
in spite of the fact that one OF
them was growing hen. The next
year $40 eggs constituted the record.
Not even severe weather could stop
them from laying. The poultry man
thought that he could raise some
chickens from the three hens, and put
a rooster into their yard.
"We now have a ridiculous concert,
the breeder writes. "The cock leads
off in his full voice, and the hen fol-
lows with shrill falsetto, with varia-
tions much out Of tune. Still she
lays, and on two days last week the
three hens laid six eggs each day. ]
hope to get the fnnciers at poultry
shows to give prizes tc growing hens
in the near future"
