Acetylenc for Light and Power.

Acetylene gas is produced by adding
is made by fusing together, in an cleo
trio furnace, carbon and lime. Accty-
lene has now become Il commercial
product. For Illuminating purposes it
gives a light at least ten times as bright
rs that derived from coal gas, and bril-
liantly white. Recently it has been
suggested that ~acetylene may be used
to advantage in place of coal for driv-
ing steam-engines. Thus, long before
the coal-fields have been exhausted
maj is discovering ways of ccOnOmizing
the black diamonds that have so eff
fectively fed his furnaces, and furnish
ed light for his homes and shops.

.iation of Railway superintendent has
recently investigated the strength Of
,imbers and made a report. which in
sOme ways upSetS old ideas. For in
stance, the committee aver thar. con-
trary to Il widespread opinion, knots,
even when sound and tight. are one
Of the most detrimental features of
timber for either beams or struts. They
also report that. except in top logs or
very small and young timber. the heart
wood. as Il rule, is not as strong as the
wood farther from the heart of tho

1t is known that insects are ordinarily
unable to fly through Il net whose mesh
Us are three or four times the size OF
their bodies. y bird would Tart through
such an aperture without hesitation.
Several explanations have been offered
for the conduct of insects in this respect.
Felix Plateau lately made experiments.
reported to the Royal Academy Of Bel
GUM. from which he concludes that the
peculiar facetted structure of the eyes
of insects is the cause of their difficulty
in traversing nets. To an insect. he
thinks, a net looks like Il continuous
partially Opaque surface, the separate
lines being unnOticed, and accordingly
on approaching Il net the insect alights
before discovering that it might have
continued its flight and passed through.

In recent years the size and number of
the icebergS seen in the South Atlantic
and South Pacific oceans have both
been enormous, and various suggeS-
lions have been made to account for the
phenomenon. Evidently something un-
usual has been going on in the I'M
known regions surrounding the South
Pole. The latest suggestion bearin" on
this subject comes from Nj. ii. G. Rus
sell, who has presented it before the
Royal Society of New South Wales.
His idea. in brief, is that there has been
an extraordinary outburst OF the great
volcanoes known to exist within the
Antarctic circle. and that the conSe-
quent shaking of the ice-clothed shores
Of the Antarctic Continent has resulted
in the breaking of of immense frag-
ments OF ice. which have ufterwari
been driven ~northWard by winds and
currents.

Cattle men around Pierre are reporting
cattle hard to get this year. A number OF
them lave gone out TO make purchases
and returned empty handed. The cattle
could be secured, but at prices which
would wipe out profits. and then only in
small punches. This will result IN IA
smaller number of young cattle being
placed on the range this spying than for
several years. The estimated loss for the
past winter is one in a thousand head,
which is less than the loss from climatic
conditions Tor any past year since that
range has been opened to settlers. The
grass on the range has already secured a
good start and a few more showers will
insure a good pasturage for the whole
SEASON.

A very Interesting beer war is being
wsged by the six saloonists on Water

was the Introduction Of nine-ounce beer
glasses az a hotel bar which was follow

looms in the immediate vicinity TO change
