the depths of the sea box, and OPEN
ing it ascertained that it contained
nearly 100 ounce vials of altar of roses.
It was remembered that fifty or sixty
years before an East Indiaman had
been wrecked near the point where the
box was found, and the box had un-
doubtedly formed part of the cargo.
The oil was uninjured by its long sub
mersion in sea water, and the dredgers
realized fortune from box little
more than fourteen inches square.
The value of the annual yield OF the
Balkan rose district alone is about
S400, 1000 worth of altar.
The altar is taken by perfumers,
who, finding it too strong to be used
in its pure state, since thus employed
it causes headaches, and sometimes
nausea, "cut" it with alcohol and sell
it in the form Of rose water. 1t is said
that even in the countries where 1t IS
made adulterations are practiced, for
other oils bearing some resemblance
to it in odor are frequently mixed with
it. Geranium oil, sandalwood oil,
rhodeum, and other volatile oils are
said to be employed by dishonest deal
ers as adulterations, and fine olive oil,
with few drops of the altar of rose,
is sometimes sold for the pure article.
The genuine oil is so exceedingly
powerful that when used to perfume
hair oil, for example, one drop is said
to be sufficient to impart its character
istic odor to pint.-St. Louis Globe

Very Fine Writing.

A machine has been invented, which
is composed of exquisitely graduated
wheels, running tiny diamond point
at the end of an almost equally tiny
arm, whereby one is able to write
upon glass the whole of the Lords
prayer within space which measured
the two hundred and ninety-fourth
part OF an inch in length by the four
hundred and fortieth part of an inch
in breadth or about the measurement
of the dot over the letter II" in COM
mon print. With this machine any
one who understood operating it could
write the whole 8, 566, 4SO letters of the
Bible eight times over the space of an
inch-a square inch. A specimen OF
this marvellous microscopic writing
was enlarged by photography, and
every letter and point was perfect and
could be read with ease.-Philadelphia

A lady residing on Jackson street,
near Stanislaus, rescued wild canary
bird yesterday from al unpleasant
situation. While walking in the yard
of her residence she chanced to see {
snake, and, upon taking a good look
at the reptile, she discovered in its
mouth a canary, which it was leisurelJ
proceeding to swallow.
Women are prorerbially timid OF
snakes, but she determined to release
the bird. There was no time to lose.
She bethought herself Of q hoe that
was near by and, procuring it, strucg
the reptile sharp blow with the blade,
severing its head from its body, to,
gether with n few inches of neck-if q
snake has a neck. The snakes jaws
opened instantly, and with q
"qu-e-e-k," the canary jumped out
and futtered to a resting place near
by. 1t was evidently unhurt, for in @
few minutes it flew to q tree top and
there warbled song of thanks for its
deliverance Stockton lCaLl Mil

Sent a Dog Up 1000 Feet.

John W. Hall, the inventor of the
wonderful diamond-shaped kite, re.
sides at 4454 Vista avenue. In the
rear OF his house is a neat little work
shop led with kites of every de.
scription. After two years of labor and
experiment, when his workshop was
crowded with curiosities that went up
but gave no satisfaction, Hall was sit.
ting disconsolately at the door watch
ing the pigeons soaring overhead.
They rose or fell, circled about or sped
forward at will.
He would make a kite like bird.
The wings, he argued, must do the
work, the body he would not attempt
to create. He set to work on the
proposition. In o month his diamond
shaped kite appeared in the air. II
was great success. 1t scared upward
rapidly and almost perpendicularly.
It strained at the string like q wild
bird fighting to be free. And more, ii
did not dart here and there, but re.
mained steady in the air-a thing Of
beauty and power-a delight to the in
ventor's heart, the nearest approach
to q bird which man had yet created.
Its sails are wings of cloth, its body
fine wood, holding the sails in proper
position.
This evening the inventor sent his
kite up on an Experimental trip He
attached n car to the structure. Tt was
suspended to the framework between
the two wings or sails, and contained
a young Scotch terrier, weighing about
twelve pounds, in one compartment
and dozen eggs in the other. With
the weights attached more difficulty
than usual was experienced in getting
start. At last the wings took the
breeze, up it went over the houses and
then it waned into speck. It was al
lowed to sail the full length of the
string, about 1000 feet. 1t was with
much interest that the small group OF
spectators watched the kite come
down. Everybody wondered if the
dog was still alive and how many eggs
were broken. At last it was carefully
landed. Not an egg was broken. The
dog was alive, but shivering and strug-
Cling to break through the net over his
little cage.-St. Louis Republic.

The Crab as q Sportsman.

A man who spends his summers
down on the south shore of Long
Island we'll out toward the eastern end
IS enthusiastic over the rabbit hunt
ing to be obtained there. To get the
proper amount of sport from it, how
ever, he recommends that it be pur-
sued according to peculiar method of
his own. This he described with great
seriousness to select party of friends
there the other evening, and was con-
siderate enough at the close of his
narrative to change the subject with
out requiring any statement of belief
or otherwise from his hearers.
''The way I find best is this" he
said. 81 procure strong, good-sized
net, supply of short tallow candles,
and considerable number of hard
shelled crabs. The latter are just out
of the water, and are very much alive
and energetic. I then select prom.
ising rabbit burrow which has two en-
frances, some distance apart. Over
one Ct the holes I fasten the net Sc.
curely. Then going to the other with
the crabs and the candles arrange
the actual hunting. I catch one Of tue
crabs, and lighting candle, hold
it wick down over over his back until
several drops of the melted tallow
have fallen on his shell. Then quick.
ly, before it has time to harden, ]
plant the candle in this little pool,
where it sticks fast, and stands as up.
right as if in a candlestick. I fix sew.
eral other crabs in the same way, and
then send little brigade of them into
the burrow. When the rabbit inside
sees a torchlight procession coming
down his private hall after him you
may be sure he decides to leave at once
by the back door. This he attempts,
only to find himself in the net which
1 placed there at the beginning.
"You see, it is comparatively sim.
pie and at the same tine all exceeding
ly interesting method of hunting. ]
wonder if we shall have good sail,

uow to Get IYell-FlayOred Milk.

Nothing so markedly affects the
flavor of milk, and consequently but
ter and cheese, as the character of the
dairy feed. All know that the finest
and most delicately favored honey is
produced from the white clover bios
SONS, and pastures thickly sprinkled
with the same plant produce feed
from which comes number one milk
and butter. Coarse grasses impart a
rank flavor to dairy products as rule
and should be excluded from the ra-
ton of the mich COW. Thousands of
acres of pasture land that would other
wise be in the best of condition, are
practically spoiled by being overrun
with noxious weeds and bushes.
In the West, alfalfa imparts its
peculiar though not unpleasant flavor
to milk, while in the great dairy dis
tricts of the East, every one is now
familiar with the taste Of ensilage milk
and butter. Valuable forage crops
which are now the very foundation of
modern dairying, cannot be discarded
because they transmit their strong
vegetable flavor to milk, but by thor
ough aeration of the fresh milk much
of this unpleasant foreign flavor can
be eliminated, and at the same time
the keeping quality of the milk be as
sured.
Where noxious vegetation abounds
as in neglected pastures, the remedy
is not to palliate the evil, but to re-
move it. The milch cattle and dairy
methods may be improved, but not
until the COWS Craze in pasture con-
tanning only sweet nutritious grasses
are dairy methods correct or profta-
BILE.
1t is not hobby to dote on fine
favor for dairy products. Ifyou wish
to have your dairy goods sought after
in the market and command best
prices make flavor a specially. OF
course while feed primarily affects milk
favors, it is in constant danger of con-
tamination from outside causes, but
will not be injured by taints or stable

Pneumatic Carpets to Lessen the Noise

Pneumatic Carpets to Lessen the Noise.
During the summer months tits in
tended to cover the corridors of the
War, State and Navy buildings with
pneumatic carpets. The noise result
ing from a constant tramping OF feet
on the marble floors has proved a
sources of great annoyance to officials
and employees. The marble is also
peculiarly trying upon the feet and
extremely treacherous to those who do
not carefully watch their movements.
The pneumatic carpets are soft and
elastic and afford sure footing. In
warm weather they can be inflated
with cold air, thereby materially re-
ducing the temperature of the build
