Experiments with Flax.

So much mas been said about the
Bauer process of retting flax that tests
have been made to determine the rela-
tive value of this and the old-fashiOned
hand process. 1t is claimed that while
the Bauer methods give lar
ger percentage of finished fibres. It
lacks the gloss and beautiful sOftness
Of that prepared by hand. OF course,
for many purposes the Bauer method
will give very satisfactory results, but
for the finer grades of linen, where
quality is the important point, GER
tain amount of hand-prepared fibre
must be depended on until the process
is further perfected. Flax grown in
various localities was selected for the
experiment and portions of it were
sent to other places to be finished. The
figures give 81 to GA per cent for the
machinery-dressed fax and that done
by hand labor about IS to Sc per cent

All, how these words thrilled the dear
little maiden.
For months she had waited for them
expectantly, and now, as they fell in
sweet cadence upon her ear, her little
heart fluttered, and with accents crowd

said:
What is it, George?'

Causes Of Fire.

On several occasions it has been
found when buildings and machinery
have been taken down that the wood
placed in close contact to heating ap-
paratus has become so charred that
it is nothing more nor less than char
coal Sometimes this has igrited on
exposure to air. An expert declares
way than the public ever suspect. By
some means there is a crevice through
which current of hot air is drawn.
This gradually oxidizes the wood and
makes it as inflammable as tinder. It
is estimated that wood ignites at about
600 to 500 degrees F. Wood containing
much oily or resinous matter inflames
much more easily, and great care
should be taken in putting such wood
in the immediate vicinity of great heat.
1t is thought that very many fires at
tributed to defective flues are caused by
resinous woods that are put into cas-
ings and other woodwork where there
are openings more or less large through
which stove or furnace heat can pass.
Gradually these places become dry then
go through various chemical changes
caused by intense and long continued
heat, until on some occasion when the
fires are unusually fierce they burst
into fame. In building houses there
is nothing more important than the
care of chimneys and fiues. If possi-
BILE there should be double guards
placed between all woodwork and me-
tai. with ventilation supplied by cold
air. Attention to this would save
much valuable property and might save
life.

A Wonderful Work.

The new railroad bridge over the
Danube river. which has just been COM
pleted. is the largest in the world, and
one of the most important, and the
Roumanian government is enjoying its
possession with a well earned senti-
ment of complacent pride. The new
bridge is 1885 feet long without ap-
proaches. which would make some hum
dreds of feet additional. The largest
vessels that sail the Danube can pass
under it at the highest tide. as the low
er rafters of the superstructure are los
feet above high water mark. Some
idea of the length of this bridge may
be gained by comparison with the 9TH
er great bridges Of the world. The Tay
bridge. Scotland. is 10. .725 feet; .he Mis-
sissippi bridge at Memphis 10000 feet:
the Forth bridge. Scotland. 1900 fest:

Easy Way Of Removing Paint.

Some years ago the sand blast, as a
means of removing paint and varnish.
was suggested. but seemed to attract
but little attention. Latterly the de-
mand for some apparatus that will
accomplish this purpose has been so
imperative that experiments are being
made with sand blasts IT forty or fifty
pounds pressure. Thus far the idea
seems to work admirably. and it is now
confidently believed that this will be
the means resorted to in the future for
doing this work Another use of the
sand blast is suggested as a cleaning
method for wood of all sorts and for
stone. The sand under heavy pressure
cutting against stone work would re-
move dust and dirt from crevices that
ordinary scraping and rubbing would
never reach rhe most perfect success
is anticipated from the employment Of
his means.

Marvellous Invention.

The Rev. A. c. Ferguson has added
another marvel to the wonders of the
nineteenth century. 1t is an apparatus
by which he photographs sound waves.
and then by using the plates repro
duces the sounds with their original
tone. He calls his machine the lightO-
I.hone, as distinguished from the
phonOgraph and graphophone of Ber-
liner and Edison respectively. The in
ventiOn is distinctly new, in that the
reverend doctor has succeeded in pre-
serving the sound vibrations by means
of the photograph and restoring them
to the air with the plates. Like all
other inventions of this kind. the ap-
paratus is exceedingly simple. 1t con-
sists of two disks, seven inches in
diameter. revolved by the ordinary
crank of mechanics. One of the disks
is horizontal. 1t is the recorder. The
other is revolved perpendicularly. 1t is

the recording disk is clamped SEN

vibrating diaphragm. This shutter ex-
cludes the light from the plate until
it is spoken into. Then it vibrates, and
the plate records the light and sound
vibrations together at the rate of 1000
per second AS the disk turns the

quantities of milk and butter. Meat

are comfortably heated, but the win

included in the diet, and eggs. custards
and sweets also are provided in abund-
ance. The patients gain, and write
home to their friends that they are
wonderfully improved. They, however,
agree that the same treatment would
be impossible at home, as the patients
would not prepare for themselves the
diet that the doctors prescribe for
them and insist upon their taking.

pieces cut to a weight of one and a
half ounces or an equivalent size-ap-
or two-eye pieces appear to give the
best results.
Two and one-half rows is too close
distance for the drouthy spring

four-foot rows is waste of ground.
AS for seed pieces, while authorities
and experience vary greatly, lit is
probable that what are generally
known as two-eye pieces, or pieces
whose weight will approximate an

consideration the amount necessary
for seed, produce the largest net

The yield of tubers appears to be

Messrs. May 81 Mcconnell expect to
branch out on a much larger scale
when they hope to keep twice that
number of men steadily employed.
After inspecting the garden the
writer was driven to Mr.. Mays resi-
dence, one mile east of town. Here
he and his family are comfortably
domiciled and surrounded with all
that goes to make up the sum of hui
man happiness. A neat little cottage
occupies one corner of a five acre lot.
In other parts of the lot are the sta
BILE, garden and orchard of young
fruit trees-peaches, pears and per-
simmons. In the lot were mich cows,
hogs which were being fattened,
chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese.
Half mile southeast of the home
place Mr.. May has an S-acre orange
grovet in fine condition. Every tree
was killed to the ground in '95, but
when others were despairing he went
to work and trimmed and pruned and
budded until today his grove looks as
if it had never been touched, the new
growth showing evidences of health
and hardness and the leaves being of
a rich green color. This year he
gathered thirty boxes of oranges and
next year expects to gather 500 boz
es. In the grove are about 500 orange
and thirty-fve grapefruit trees. AID
joining the grove is the slaughte
pen. A mile or SO southeast of the
grove lis another place belonging to
Mr.. May-fve acres-which he is hav-
ing cleared and grubbed. There is a
fine garden spot on this tract which
will be put to immediate use, and
next season planted in celery.
Mr.. May is an example of what a
person with energy, small capital and
we'll directed efforts can do. He came
to Port Tampa five years ago and en-
barked in a small business. Today
he is the head of large general mer
chandise establishment at Port Tam
pa, one ofthe leading business men Of
the town, respected for his honesty
and business qualities. In addition
to his garden annex heowns hundreds
of cattle and hogs and valuable prop
erty in Port Tampa, and is today
