CYeav MoGntain Sheep.

The Great mountain sheep of Nor.
thcrn Asia is one Of the warieSt of ami.
mails. Furnished with extraordinarily
Keen sense of sight anil smell, and al
tecting the most opeI ground at high
attitudes, it is very difficult to APP
proach within ride shot. The best
time to ct shot is at noon or a
bright day, when the animals seek a
secluded spot on the hill slope to
sleep away the hot hours. The wind
is then blowing up from the lower
grounds, and the sportsman endeavors
to get above the sheep, that his pres
ence may not be betrayed to the AMI
mal's nose. The great difficulty is to
reach spot whence shot can be OBJ.
tanned without being detected by the
game. Once in q good position-say
within hundred and fifty yards--the
beast offers an easy mark to one accus-
toned to Judge distances in the de-
ceptive mountain atmosphere, as an
adult ram stands fully four feet at the
shoulder, and often remains listening
for a few moments after being dis
turbed by the report of the rifle. 1t
gazes intently downward, having
learned by experience that danger
from its natura! foes may be expected
from below.

Reasons for Hope.

The Charlotte Observer Gays: "Our
North Carolina schools are opening
their fall terms. A majority of them
have already begun operation and the
others will open this week. 1t is 8
source of qualification to observe that all
of them from which reports have been
received have begun prosperously, or
have assurances of doing SO. This
applies to both the male and the
female schools. The times could
afford no more encouraging sign than
this. 1t indicates that our people are
easier in money matters than they have
been, but above this and more import
ant than this, it proves growth IN
the educational spirit among US. AS
to the first proposition that the people
are more comfortable, financially-there
have been abundant evidences Of this
during the summer in the many and
successful railroad excursions and in
the nnmber-greatert than ever before
of North Carolinians 1t springs, In the
mountains and st the seaside resorts.
1t is nothing but . pleasure to note that
our people have the time and the means
for recreation and pleasure; but this is
hardly to be mentioned in connection
with the other and vastly more impor-
tant proposition that they are becoming
more advertent to those things which
look to the future welfare of their chill
dren. Nature has dealt generously
with North Carolina, but it will never
be the great State that nature designed
it to be until its people become al edu-
Gated people.

how Potatoes May be Spoiled.

In a bulletin issued by Professor
Snyder, of the Minnesota State Agri-
cultural College, he makes point OF
interest to the housewife. He shows
that where potatoes ore peeled and
started boiling in cold water there is
a loss of so per cent. of the total albu-
men, and where they are not peeled
and are started in hot water this loss
is reduced to two per cent. A bushel
Of potatoes, weighing 60 pounds, con-
tains about two pounds of total nitro
genous compounds. When improperly
. cooked one-half of pound is lost,
containing six-tenths of pound OF
the most valuable proteids. 1t re-
1uires all of the protein from nearly
TWO pounds of round beefsteak to re-
place the loss of protein from improp'
erly boiling bushel of potatoes.

Shaving ty Machinery.

Shaving a man in twenty-five seconds
Is a feat deserving Of the highes,
praise and reward by all such as value
their time. The feat has been ren-
dered easy Of performance by the con.
strnction of shaving machine of
wood. reported to have been made by
one Melchoir Farkas. convict in the
penltentiary Of the city Of SZegediu,
Hungary Farkas was put to labor IN
the cabinet-maklng shop Of the prison.
and, taking to his work with Il will,
he soon displayed great inventive in
genuity. With his machine he is said
to have shaved all the inmates OF the
prison. nearly $50 in number. within
less than an hours time. The repcrt
fails to state, however, to what extent
the shaving by machinery did ~ did
not succeed in giving comfort to the
sufferer in the chair.

DEVELOPMENT of Kite Flying.

"Kite flying" said one of the
weather bureau kite experts to a Star
reporter, ''has always been an inter
esting sport for boys, but the interest
in il never equaled that which is now
evidenced on every side. 1t may be
too much for the average boy to make
one of the box kites, from which such
GOOD results are anticipated by the
weather bureau, for they are some
what difficult to make, and to raise
and fly after they are made. Still, no
doubt many of them will try it, and 1
Am told that the authorities will make
no objection to the boys using the
White Lot or the monument grounds
for that purpose. | can give the boys
a pointer on kite flying, however, even
if they do not try the box kite. Let
them make the ordinary threestick
kite. but instead of one make three or
four kites. Have them rugged up in
pairs, or three if desired, SO that they
will fly about five or six yards from
each other. This can be arranged by
the length of the string. Then give
them about forty yards of string and
send up a couple of other kites, in
pairs as before. The whole are to be
flown by one string. The four kites
will, of course pull four times as
much as one kite will, but the combi-
nation will take up q great deal OF
string. Flying team of kites of this
kind is a favorite amusement of the
bows in Denmark, and it furnishes
them with a great deal of sport. The
Chinese boys 60 further, and some
times send up a series of kites, run
ming from ten to fifty kites, all from
the same string. The rarely fly them
in teams, however, preferling to rig
them so that when they are in the air
they look like a long-tailed dragon.
They use fancy colored paper i'll their
kites, red, of course, prcdominatlhg.

city will explain how the dragon kites

An International Hencoop.

Amaza Barrow has a chicken ranch
not 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
take an advantage even in horse
trade. He is q survival Of the severe
old Puritan morality which held that
to take pin was as bad as to take a
pocket-book, and he governs his daily
life by its principles. But that does
not hinder him from being as anxious
as the next man to get hold of good
thing. So when ne decided to start q
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 the thing
was easy enough. Barrow just built
an international henhouse. American
money changed into Mexican mesns
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 Amass 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 e1'
tending down into Mexico. He buys
all his supplies on the other side and
stores them there in sheds. Never
grain of his chicken feed is carried
across the border. When he wants tc
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 shoos
them back to the other end, where.
under the folds OF the Stars and
Stripes, they lay their eggs and hatch
their young.

Lafayette's Grant of Land.

No man was ever more highly honor
cd in this country than Lafayette dur
ing his second visit. In 1875 he came
IS the guest of the nation, remained
over year. ard during that time Wis
tied every one of the twcnty-four
States which then composed the Tn
ion. and was everywhere received with
popular enthusiasm. In consideration
of his services during the revolutionary
war Congress voted him grant Of
100000, and in addition to that $4,000
acres Of land. to be located by him
anywhere among the unappropriated
lands belonging to the national gov
crnment. His 6Sth birthday was spent
at the White House. After his visit he
sailed for France in the Brandywine,
Srd in 1884 died in Paris.

POPULAR SCIENCE.

The difference between a planet
and star is this: A star shines by its
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 DR.. Lintner,
State Entomologist of New York, it
is stated that the little red ant, pest
introduced from Europe, has the single
redeeeming feature that it is an active
and efficient enemy of the bedbug..
The Pleiades contain six stars visi-
bic to eyes of ordinary keenness,
though twelve or fourteen have been
counted in this cluster by persons Of
extraordinary eyesight. A two-inch
telescope shows about sixty stars in
this cluster.
Our present knowledge of Y rays
may be summed up by saying that the
rays from discharging apparatus are
q mixture varying in absorbability and
intensity, that the composition de-
pends chiefly on the duration of the
discharging current, that different
hodies absorb different kinds of rays,
and that the Y rays are produced by
the cothode rays and the phenomena
of both are probably of the same ma
ture.
The scheme of covering the Sahara
with forest is pronounced by NJ. P.
Privat- -Deschenel utterly impractical
BILE, the arid plateaus being hopeless
desert. On limited scale, however,
the valleys most of which are favored
with small amount of water-may
be successfully planted with tamarish,
acacia, eucalyptus and poplar, the last
named tree having unexpectedly
proven the most suitable. In the for
est shelter vegetables and fruit trees
may be grown.
William H. Dali, of the Smithsonian
| Institution, says in Science that dur
ing the early days of the whale fish
cry, several well 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
to get from the Atlantic to the North
Pacific they would have to go many
thousands of miles, passing either
around Cape Horn. or arounHS the
northern end of North America and
through Bering Strait.
Men of science sometimes make ex-
traordinary demands upon the skill of
instrument makers. An interesting
illustration is furnished by the in
strument called the "microtome," 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.

Two Wire Freaks.

Wire Commissioner Flood had on
exhibition q section of limb of a red
oak tree, eight inches in diameter,
which was burned through, making
charcoal of the wood, last week, at
Jamaica Plain, by cable of the Su-
burbau electric railway line resting
upon it. It was done during one OF
the heavy rain storms. The cable had
its original insulated covering, but the
covering becoming soaked with water
ceased. to be protection against the
electric current in the cable.

ger from electricity, is heavy wire
