POPULAR SCIENCE.

According to the experiments of NJ.
Seguy and M. Quenisset the X-rays
cause dangerous palpitations of the
heart. The experiments were made on
medical students and upon themselves,
and M. Seguy and NJ. Quenisset de-
scribe the palpitations as violent and
uncomfortable unless the rays We're in
tercepted by metallic plate.
Alaska, our remarkable outlying ter
ritory, is almost as large in area as the
entire United States east of the Missis-
sippi. 1t is rich in mineral wealth,
and has already yielded many times it's
cost in the precious and other metals.
Every year it's value to the United
States is increasing, and yet it is en-
tirely isolated from the rest of our ter
ritory-iust as Cuba would be We're we
to acquire it.
"Alcohol," said M. Martindale, in a
paper read recently before the Phar-
maceutical society, sis not germi-
eide. When present to the extent of
20 per cent. by volume of absolute alco-
hol, it has an inhibitory effect on the
termination of most of the micro-or-
ganisms occurring in aqueous selu-
tions of vegetables and animal SUBJ
stances, but the germs propagate
readily as it evaporates."
Naturalists consider it wonderful
fact that the Bermuda islands have
only seven native species of land birds,
while no less than 1913 species pay visits
to the islands. Many of these visitors
are birds which pass the summer in the
United States, and utilize the Bermuda
islands as a convenient winter resort,
thus initiating some of their human
compatriots. Even some American
bats follow the example oi the birds by
wintering in the Bermudas.

ON THE FARM.

An estimate of the loss of the soluble
portions of manure that is exposed to
rains and the direct rays of the sun, if
it could be made, would show that one
half of it's value is lost by leeching, fire.
fanging, etc.
In u dry season there is no fertilizer
which produces better results with po-
tatoes than wood ashes, notwithstand-
ing the fact that ashes seem to dry
themselves. Equally good results will
follow when they are sprinkled on the
strawberry bed.
The mistake of keeping and using
crossbreed males aids materially in de-
generating the hogs on many farms.
The boar should be a thoroughbred, or
there will be no uniformity in the off
spring. There is little pleasure in rails
ing mongrels.
1t is claimed that the use of ensilage
enables the dairyman to keep twice as
many cows as when no ensilage is used.
There is no crop so easily grown and at
so small an outlay for labor as ensilage
corn, and it not only provides a large
addition to the bulky foods, but enables
the dairyman to give succulent food in
winssr, thus keeping the animals in
good condition.
Navy beans can be grown proftably,
and they bring as good prices as any
other crop. The heaviest yields are
secured when they are carefully culti-
waited and grown on ground that has
been well manured the previous year.
The harvesting of the crop is the crit
ical work with them, as they are liable
to damage if exposed to rains after har-
vesting them, but there is machinery
now IN use which lessons the labor
and makes them as sure as any other
crop.

A new book of 135 pages by Marvin Warren.
BY irresistible facts and logic it shows clearly
that the natural and easy way of maintaining
forever the parity of all gold, silver and paper
money is to make them equally legal tender,
put not redeemable in each other nor in any
thing but government dues.
The author holds that our financial and in
dust-ial woes come chiefly from the present
system of coin redemption, and he points out
way to speedy relief.
The measures proposed in this book are the
logical outcome of the principles of the Peoples
Party, and the rapid circulation of this book
will be of immense service in uniting the
scattered forces of the party, and in making new
converts everywhere.
The retail price of MONEY CHART is 25 cents
We have special arrangement with the publish
ers by which we can furnish our subscribers the
book for 10 cents.

THE FAMILY DINNER.
Too Often Disturbed by Unplensnn
Talk,

Why is it that in most households the
dinner table becomes dumping ground
for the wholesale plants of it's mem
bers? Probably because this is the only
meal of the day when the entire family
meet together, each one feels it duty
to air few personal grievances in or
der to seek consolation from the others.
One Of Difference 10 digestion, if for
no other reason, dinner table conversa-
ton should be of the spieiest, but this
fact is lost sight of in the general de-
sire of everybody, from papa down to
the youngsters, to serve up only those
topics which have marred rather than
made the days happiness.
Hardly has the man of lthe house fin
ished his carving duties before he falls
into an animated financial discussion
with his wife. Household expenses are
rehashed; bills grumbled over, and the
cost of living recalculated with tedious
regularity.
Mother, in her turn, eagerly pours
into any listening ear her domestic
wees, The days errors below stairs
are minutely recorded She signs over
Bridget's butter waste, declares that the
butchers Indifference to her order is be-
coming intolerable, and so on.
Then the small boy (poor little target
for family faw-piclling) comes in for
his share of criticism. His failures at
school are relentlessly raked up and
all sorts of punishments threatened un-
less there is speedy reform.
If there are guests present this talk
of the inner circle is for courtesy's sake

then. Good cheer and plenty of it," is
