Case came up determined in the fourth
round and shot left on jaw. Case was
looking for right swing on the jaw,
fiddling with his left and holding right in

Case was strong and aggressive at the

1000 insects. Multiply this by the
great number of insectivorous birds in
our fields and forests, and we can get
an approximate idea OF the helpful
protection afforded our agricultural
interests.
large number OF orchards have
never paid, and never will. The most
common cause is starvation, for tho
average farmer who plants an orchard
or buys one goes on treating the land

crops the ground, in rotation or ont

orchard lives at all.
Why does any one advocate thai M.
pie orchards should be set to grass ?
Why are they not cultivated and fer.
tilted just as orange and lemon or.
chards? Farmers go to great trouble
and expense to plant apple orchards,
and willingly cultivate them until * ey
begin to bear, aud then expect nature
to keep them producing bountifully.
Apple trees are slow in coming into
bearing, and crop OF peach trees
planted between the rows will live

IN California will be tried an expert
ment in the breeding of elephants,
hippopotami, lions, tigers, llamas,
nilgaus, kangaroos, and other tropical
and exotic animals. such as are in
common demand for purposes of e1hi-

conditions suited to every sort CT animal

animals come, who are accustomed to
their ways, will be employed to look

Successful Failures.

Columbus discovered America
through his failure to reach India. as
he hoped TO do by sailing westward.
David Livingstone studied for three
years with the sole aim Of being mis-
sionary to China. IT was only be.
cause his hopes were crushed by the
opium war" which made it in.i5pssii-.
ble to enter China, that he. thought of
going to Africa and was>~fhe means of
opening up Whole continent to
Christianity and civilization.
Some years ago an ingenious plan
was proposed by man named jog
gins for sending logs from Canada to
New York by towing them, bound to.
gether by cables and iron girders, as
RATS. The plan failed, as the first
rait sent out met with n storm near
'he end OF its voyage, the iron Orders
snapped and the logs were scattered
far aud wide. Hundreds of captains
IN the Atlantic, the MediterraIe can and
the South seas noticed these logs and
reported on them. The reports were
collected and systematized and deduc.
tons made from them as to the course
OF ocean currents. SO the failure of
the Joggins raft led to one of the
greatest discoveries in modern marine
geography and navigation.

Elring Under Water:

stage was erected in the harbor of
Portsmouth within the tide mark; on
this an Armstrong gun of the one hun

mounted. The gun was then loaded
and carefully aimed at target while
the tide was low. The target itself
was placed only twenty five feet from
the muzzle of the gun. 1t was COM
posed of oak beams and plsnks, and
was tweniy-one inches thick. In or
der to make the Griper invulnerable,
sheet of boiler plates three inches
thick was riyeted to the water-logged
hull in direct range with the course
the ball was expected to take il not
detected by the water.
On all of these---the oaken target,

submerged gun was really startling
The wooded target was pierced through
and through, the boiler iron target
was broken into pieces, and driven in
to its backing, the ball passing
right out through both sides of the
vessel, making two huge holes,
through which the water poured in
torrents. Taken altogether, the ex-
pertinent was al entire success.
