Moving the Pyramids.

The house mover who declares he
could move skyscraper provided he
could keep it level, says there is moth
ing very extraordinary in the building
OF the pyramids. The stones Of the
great piles could easily be, and proba-
bly, were, conveyed along in the very
manner in which houses are now
moved. If the ancients had no jack
screws to lift up the great weights,
they could have accomplished their
purpose by means of the simplest kind
of inclined planes composed of girders.
The rolling tree trunk proposition was
also advanced as plausible. Follow
ing the line of balance, the obelisks
could have been set in position from
huge truss ways, composed of girders.
The ancients may have understood the
use of cantilevers. The stack recently
moved at Mauhanset weighed 100 tons.
1t was eighty-fve feet hight, and it
was conveyed distance of $50 feet
quite feat compared with obelisk
moving. This the opinion of house
mover who has achieved wonderful
contempt for great weights. But, as
no skyscraper has ever been moved,
aud as he probably never will be in
vited to move one, his opinion will
have to be accepted for what it is
worth

Why take Johnson's
Chill & Fever Tonic?
Because it cures the

tn. Y Raw Applied to Hens.

When a hen will not lay, of what
use is she except as "broiler?" But
how can you pick out from flock the
hen that does not lay, but consumes
food as we'll as the others? Rudolph
Spreckles, of California, son OF the
sugar king, owns o great poultry
farm, and his method is thus descrl'
bed by the Youths Companion:
"He has 10, 600 hens; and since the
proportion of sterile or non-egg-bear-
ing hens is one to FIVE, it recently oc-
Cured to him that he was supporting
not1 less than 1000 in idleness and
luxury. Mr.. Spreckels thereupon ar.
gued that if the Roentien ray could
locate stray buttons and vagrant fish
bones in the human anatomy, 1t
should serve to make hen give up
her secrets. Two scientific experts were
called in and they experimental on q
dozen chickens. Of these eight were
found to contain eggs. The other
four were barren. A post mortem ex-
animation confirmed the diagnosis.
Then an X-ray plant was established
at the ranch, and at last accounts the
10000 hens were being revealed in
their true characters at the rate OF 30
an hour. There is O glut in the
dressed poultry market of San Fran
cisco, and Mr.. spreckels' bill for corn
neal is much smaller il - it was.

Tho Yorltl,s Blind.

1t is stated that there are 1000, 900
blind people in the world, or one to
every 1900 inhabitants. Latest reports
show %, 900 blind persons in England,
or $40 for each million inhabitants.
Blind infants of less than five years,
166 for each million; between five and
fifteen, 2SS; between twenty and twen-
ty-fve, 422; between forty-fve and
sixty, 1925, and above sixty-five years,
1000 for each million. Russia and
Egypt are the countries where the
blind constitute the fastest proportion
ate number of the total population, in
Russia on account of the lack of cx-
perienced medical attention, and in
Egypt because of ophthalmia due to
irritation caused by movement of the
sand by the wind. There are nearly
100000 blind persons in European
Russia, the larger number being in
Finland and the northern provinces.
This is ascribed to the fat country and
imperfect ventilation in huts of the
peasantry. Though more than half of
the blind population of Europe is
found in Russia, there are onl swen-
ty-fve asylums for the blind in the
empire, one-tenth of the total number
in Europe. pe.-London Mail.

is submarine yacht which will go to
almost any depth beneath the surface
of the ocean, and in which ten persons
will be able to live comfortably for
twelve hours without coming to the
top for fresh supply of air. Rising
thus to get breath twice every twenty
four hours, the yacht will be able to
travel eighteen days at full speed, or
a distance of 4500 or 5000 miles if only
sixty-six per cent. of her power is used.
Means of egress and ingress are pro-
vided, so that such of the passengers
as feel disposed to step out for q stroll
on the bottom of the ocean can do so.
But, of course, they would have to
dress for the occasion. The ordinary
divers costume would be sufficient. 81
Furthermore, there is an ample pro-
vision of powerful electric search-lights
which can be turned in any direction
from the coming tower in the top of
the craft or from point in its bottom.
These lights are to be so intense that
even in comparatively turbid waters
objects will be made out with tolerable
distinctness. In waters as clear rs are
those of the Atlantic in the vicinity of
the Bermudas, remote recesses Of the
ocean depths may be ransacked with
the rays. So

To convert his yacht into war ves-
sci all that is required is to make tor
pedo-tubes of the two elliptical open
ings which are on each side of the bow,
and which in. ordinary times are used
by the yachts company as means Of
egress and ingress when the boat is
lying OF the bottom of the ocean.
