Shows All the Fircs in a City.

The toposcope is machine that ex'
hibits to the eyes of the observer g
whole city and all the fires tliat break
out in it. It is now in use in Vienna,
Austria. The toposcope consists of q
good telescope, which is solidly at
tached to au arrangement of levers,
while graduated sections of a circle
are arranged horizontally and rerti-
cally in such way that the moving Of
the telescope sideways OF up and
down results in change of the posi-
ton of the hands attached to the
levers in reference to the graduated
scale.
It is obvious, the stability of the
spparatuses being assured by their
being firmly fastened, that whenever
the telescope is focused upon the
same object the hands will point to
the same figures on the horizontal and
on the vertical sextant, and, since an
index of the whole city has been made,
it is matter of but few seconds
when flare is discovered at night to
direct upon the spot Of the toposcope
on the respective side, to read off the
numbers, to read off the numbers, to
look up the object and to wire it to
the central fire station, with all the
details observed. = -ess7
Local conditions are necessary for
the successful operation of this appa-
ratus, but iu this case they are almost
perfect. st. Stephens tower is over
500 feet high; the great area of the
city is situated in the broad valley of
the Danube, allowing an uninter-
rupted panorama to the city limits.
The atmospheric conditions are also
favorable. The toposcope up there
works so accurately that even at night
the exact house and number were
often given to the central by the
watchman on the tower, while the
next fire alarm box, being at dis
tance of three or four blocks, could
not have given the exact location of
the fire, and this would have delayed
the arrival of the fire department ac-
cordingly.

An international Hencoon.

Amaza Barrow has chicken ranch
rot far from Nogales, Arizona, on
which he has divided matters between
conscience and thrift with true YAM
kee ingenuity, says the New York Sun.
Barrow's local nick name is Old Hon
esty, and those who know him best do
not hesitate to declare that he wouldn't t
take On advantage even in q horse
trade. He is survival of the severe
old Puritan morality which held that
I'd take d pin was as bad as to take q
pocket-book, and he governs his daily
life by it's principles. But that does
not hinder him from being as anxious
as the next man to get hold of good
thing. So when,he decided to start
chicken ranch near Nogales he saw at
once the big advantage it would give
him to grow his chickens across the
line in Old Mexico. But he wanted
to supply. the Arizona trade, and to
pay duties would eat up his profits.
But to Yankee ingenuity thu thing
was easy enough. Barrow just built
an international henhouse. American
money changed into Mexican means
nearly 50 for 81, while the cheap prices
Of labor and products increase the ad
vantage of the buyer. But his chickens
and eggs would command far higher
prices on the Arizona side of the line.
If he bought his grain and other feed
for his chickens in Mexico he would
get it for about half what it would cost
him in Arizona. But Amasa Barrow
would not smuggle chicken feed across
the boundary. That would be steal
ing. So he built long coop or pen
half on the Arizona side and half ex-
tending down into Mexico. He buys
all his supplies on the other side aud
stores them there in sheds. Never q
grain OF his chicken feed is carried
across the border When he wants to
feed his chickens he opens the gate
between the two parts Of the pen and
drives the flock into Mexico, where
they feed on Mexican grain. When
they have eaten their fill he Shoes
them back to tho other end, where,
under the folds of the Stars and
Stripes, they lay their eggs and hatch
their young.

Indian Ince of Cleaners.

People sometimes wonder how the
Indians at the Soboba reservation across
the river, manage to live. Itseems to
be the wife who is the provider in all
cases, aud she has to work for what she
gets. They are virtually race of CLEAN
ers. The female portion of the town
across the river seems to have discov-
cred that new tangled potato digger
had been introduced into the valley.
The digger was warranted to leave po:
tatoes enough in the ground for seed.
Ever since the season for digging was
over the squaws have been surrepti-
tiously visiting every place where the
digger had been and have been quietly
working away. They did not ask per-
mission, though this would not have
been denied by most of the ranchers.
Johnny Botterell does not hesitate
to say that possibly third Of his crop
was left in the ground. He says the
Indians come over in the morning and
stay till nearly noon, going away with
a bag of Bpuds each. They dig the
potatoes with sharpened sticks so as
not to disturb the ground. Now that
same of the potatoes are beginning to
sprout, they dig down gingerly and re-
move the tuber and set the plant back
so that no one will miss the spud..-

POPULAR SCIENCE.

The difference between q planet
and star is this: A star shines by it's
own light; planet by light reflected
from another body.
| The poles Of Jupiter are fattened
almost exactly like those of the earth.
The phenomenon can be plainly seen
with the telescope.
In the useful report of DIR. Lintner,
State Entomologist Of New York; it
is stated that the little red ant, pest
introduced from Europe, has the single
redeseming feature that it is IN active
and efficient enemy of the bed5ug...
The Pleiades contain six stars visi-
ole to eyes of ordinary keenness,
though twelve or fourteen have been
counted ii this cluster by persons of
extraordinary eyesight. A two-inch
telescope shows about sixty stars in
this cluster.
Our present knowledge of x rays
may be summed up by saying that the
rays from discharging apparatus are
mixture varying in absorbability and
intensity, that the composition de-
pends chiefly on the duration of the
discharging current, that different
bodies absorb different kinds of rays,
and that the x rays are produced by
the cothode rays aad the phenomena
of both are probably of the same ma
ture.

William 81: Dali; Of the Smithsonian
Institution; says in Science that "iur-
ing the early days of the whale fish
cry; several we'll attested instances
OCCURRED Of whales struck in one
ocean; as the Atlantic, being after
ward killed in the North Pacific, and
vice versa" This would indicate that
some whales are great travellers, for
I'd get from the Atlantic to the North
Pacific they would have to go many
thousands of miles, passing either
around Cape Horn, or around the
northern end of North America md
through Bering Strait.
Men Of science sometimes make e2-
traordinary demands upon the skill Of
instrument makers. An interesting
illustration is furnished by the in
striiment called the 'smicrotome," the
purpose Of which is to cut excessively
thin slices, or. sections, Of various
substances, such as animal or vegeta-
BILE tissues, for microscopic examina-
ton. Microtomes have recently been
invented, which, it is claimed, can cut
successive sections each only one
twelve-thousandth of an inch thick!
The edge of the knife which makes
such cuts appears perfectly smooth
and straight when magnifed fifty
times.

AFeW Facts About Garlic.

About quarters of the garlic
used in this country is imported from
Italy. It comes in hampers containing
about 10 pounds each. Garlic is raised
in tLis country in Connecticut, in
Louisiana, in Texas and in New Mex
leo. All garlic, both imported and
American, is put up in strings or
punches, something like the punches iii
which onions were once commonly
sold In this country, but much longer.
American garlic is shipped IN crates
and barrels; some from the far South
west comes in long cylindrical baskets.
Garlic is sold by the pound, or by the
single bulb, which is sold for penny.
In its commercial form, whole or dry,
garlic does not yield the strong smell
for which it is famous. In a whole
sale produce establishment, where gar
lie was stacked up in quantities, there
was no noticeable odor from it. BuE
if one of the several smaller bulbs Of
which each root Is composed, and
which are called cloves of garlic, DO
broken off and broken in two, the pow
erful odor becomes perceptible.
The aggregate consumption OF garlic
in this country is large, and our ex-
ports of it to South American coun-
tries, which include American garlic
and imported garlic reshipped, amount
to enough to be reckoned in TONS

Son of a Siamese Twin;

W. L. Bunker, of Milan, Kan, who Is
said to have raised the largest wheat
crop in Sumner County, is son of one
OF the famous Siamese twins. When
the twins had become rich they settled
in North Carolina, bought two large
plantations adjoining each other, and
married two sisters. They divided
their time between the two places,
spending a day and night on each
alternately.
About 1886, ten or twelve years after
the death Of the twins, two Of their
boys came West and settled near Milan,
where they still live.
w. L. Bunker has large farm well
stocked and fenced, and Is Weather
than the average Kansas farmer. He
is proud of his lineage, though he sell
dom mentions it. He is row about
forty years old, and says he remembers
well how the twins went about from
one plantation to the other. He has a
family of several children, and the
home suggests a quiet refinement not
often surpassed By the country place.

immigration Figures.

The highest immigration record, ex-
Guiding the arrivals Of aliens not so
classed, is that of 1882, when the pro-
digious number Of 7SS,992 came, fol-
lowing the previous years 9,431, till
then unprecedented. In 1883 there was
heavy falling off to G03,322, and the
decrease went on until 334 ,203 was
reached in 1885, Then the tide again
turned, and with some variations an
other climax was reached in 1892,
when the figures we're 623,0S4, the third
highest mark, and not far behind that
of 1881. But then began another ebb,
with 502,91T in 1898, followed by 314,-
467, then 2T9,94s, then by 343,267, and
now this year by an astonishing reduc-
tion to 230,S32, as shown by special
bulletin Of the Treasury Department.

Let Us be Broad.

a difference of opinion exists, more
or less, when all questions are consid-
cred, between all men. And disagree
ments are apt to be the result, leading
ultimately to dissensions. Let US try
to avoid it.
Let us be patient. Let US not be too
dogmatic in our opinions, for fear we
may be guilty of that of which we may
accuse others-of erring. Let us ap-
peal to reason and be patient with
others when they do not admit its
logic. A man seldom il ever compre-
hends his error at once; nor as quickly
admits it But if you are not dog
matte, the truth in what you have said
may, and probably will, occur to him
afterwards.
And when discussing with others do
not be sensitive. Put kind interpre-
tation on what is said; and If you can.
not give it such construction as that.

Joining Baltic and Black Seas.

100000. The route is from the Gulf
of Riga, on the Baltic, along the riv-

Cherson, on the Black Sea, northwest
of Sebastopol, distance of 994 miles.
The depth proposed is twenty-eisht
feet, so that war ships may be able to
traverse the canal from one sea to an
other. A height of tifty-one feet
would have to be overcome, necessi-

Diving With n Purpose.

The telephone cable running from

the other day, probably because some
craft ran afoul of it. Three men were
sent out from the battery in a rowboat
to grapple for the broken ends. They
were unable to raise them. Then one
of the men, Leon Cholet, who is an
expert diver, put on a bathing suit and
vanished under water, nearly twenty
five feet. He made line fast to one
of the broken ends and it was hauled
up. He came UP for breathing spell,
aud then went down and got the other
end. The ends were spliced and the
repaired cable was lowered to the river
bottom.

AGRICULTURAL.
Blue Grass Pasture.

There is no better pasture grass
than the blue grass, which in some
parts of the country is known as June
grass. Its roots run near the surface,
md the pasture is therefore sweet and
good so soon as the grass starts. In
midsummer these shallow roots have
another great advantage: They are
benefited by the light rains which only
penetrate one OF two inches, and which
will not reach down to the clovers,
whose roots run more deeply. The
clover roots strike down into the sub
soil in time of drought, and the clover
grown then is best. With June grass
the best pasture is in June, as later it
will probably be.dried out too much
