NEW PLANT DISCOVERED.
A Famous Plant Hunter and Scientist
Makes a Valuable Find In
New Guinea.

A remarkable plant-remarkable
both for its beauty and the circum.
stances under which it was discovered
by an adventurous plant hunter-i.
on view at the Temple show. The
Acalypha S]anderi, which 1t Is called
halls from New Guinea. It was found
by Mir. Micholitz, the famous plant
hunter, who also discovered the new
moth orchid growing out Of skeletons
of Papuans, which lay bleaching in
the sun. Mr.. Micholitz was travelling
In a remote district Of New Guinea
inhabited by fierce cannibals, when he
came across a beautiful Towering
plant, which sprang up not only from
the ground, but from the tops Of the
mud huts OF the natives. The ex-
petition was of sufficient strength Ia
orerawe the sHvages, and Mr.. Miehol,
itz, delighted at his discovery, caused
several specimens to be collected, So
sure was he that their beauty would
cause a furore in England that ne al.
companied the consignment over $500
miles to Singapore, in order Ia see tbat
the plants we're safely dispatched from
that port.

National Firemen.s Tournaments.

Fred A. Wood. president and man
ager of the National Firemen's AssO-
citation, in conjunction with the man
ayers of the Mississippi EXPOSE
ton, is arranging for q national
firemen's tournament to be held on the
exposition grounds from September
5th to 10th. Prizes amounting to
$4,000 in value are offered by the
National Firemen's Association, and a
similar amount of money will be ex-
pended by the exposition directors in
the erection of buildings and prepara-
ton of the ground for the tournament.
building will be put up for the daily
contests in coupling, hitching, etc.,
and other buildings in which fire ex-
tinguishing apparatus will be dis
played. Several cheap structures will
also be erected for the express pur-
pose of being set on fire. But little
pressed brick or iron will enter into
their construction, but it is promised
that the competing fire companies will
not allow any of them to burn to the
ground. The railroads have agreed 70
make very low rates for the tourna-
ment, and it is expected that $4,000
firemen and their friends will be in
attendance.
Inc ldSU national uFtiieu > toutHd-
ment was held at Chicago twenty
years ago. At that time there were
but two state firemen's associations in
the country, whereas there is now one
in nearly every state, twenty-seven
state associations being represented in
the national association. The tourna-
ment to be held at Omaha in the fall
will be very much more elaborate than
was attempted at Chicago in 1878.
There will be three times rs many
contests and very much larger num-
Der of competing companies. Already
over fifty have signiiied their intention
of taking part, and it is probable that
nearly every state in the union will be
represented. Several of the crack paid
companies, including those Of Kansas
City. st. Paul, Indianapolis and Mill
waukee. will send their most speedy
hitchers and couplers, and some very
fast work is promised in the several
| competitions.

HOW Biddy Catches Rats.

John Hamilton has Plymouth Rock
hen which has developed into quite
rat killer. The trait first manifested
itself some weeks ago when one of the
men about the stable found rats nest
and threw the little rodents into the
yard. The hen spoken about was no.
ticed eating the young rats, apparently
with great deal of relish.
Since then she has been seen on sew
erai occasions under manger, where
there was great rathole. She would
stay there for hours at time. Some
of the men about the place thought the
hen was "broody," but one of the
drivers insisted upon it that she was
watching forrats. This statement was
laughed at, but the other day it was
proved beyond doubt.
Mr.. Hamilton was standing at the
back door of his office, and heard a
great squeaking in the stable. event
to the door aud just then the Plymouth
Rock hen came from under the manger
where the rathole is, and in her bill
was rat easily one-third grown.
The fowl held the rodent in her beak
suspended by hind foot. The rat
was squirming and twisting at great
rate. Some of the other fowls tried to
get at the captive, but the rat catcher
was too quick for them. She ran as
fast as she could, all the time shaking
her head from side to side. The rat
was trying to bite and would probably
have done so II the hen had not shaken
it so violently. Finally, some of the
men drove the other chickens away,
and the Plymouth Rock was allowed to
do as she pleased. She released her
hold on the rat, and when it tried to
get away pounced upon it and picked
out its eyes. After that a few hard
blows with the beak and the rat was
as dead as could be.-Wilmingtop

A Folding Cook Stove.

A folding oil stove for excursionists,
campers and prospectors has been
placed on the market recently, which.
while designed for these special pur-
poses, is also of great utility for light
housekeeping. Its parts are collapsible
into each other, and when folded up it
may be carried like grip. The burn
ars are high above the level of the res
ervoir, and the oil is forced to them
by means of small hand-pump. A
particularly desirable feature Of this
stove is that it is impossible to fill it
while there is a flame at the burners.
The moment the cap Is unscrewed for
.emoving the oil supply the pressure
is exhausted and the flame is extin-
pushed Record.

O'Brien of the Navy.

One of the torpedo boats to be con
structed under the provisions of the
last naval appropriation bill will be
called the OBrien. The boat is to be
named after jeremiah O'Brien who
won the first American naval victory.
Cooper's "History of the United
States Navy" tells all about the daring
young Irishman. The fight of O'Brien
is described by Cooper as the LEX
ington of the SEAS" and the historian
says: "It was one purely OF private
adventure.
When the news of the battle of Lex
ington reached Machias, Me-, on May
9, ITS, the Margaretta, an armed
schooner in the service OF the Crown,
was lying there with two sloops under
her convoy, loading with lumber for
the British Government. The Mar
garetta's captain became suspicious
and sailed down the bay. Thirty-five
men took charge of one of the sloops
and started after the Margaretta.
They elected O'Brien captain. The
sloop captured the Margaretta and
took her guns on board. The British
authorities at Halifax sent two cruisers
to capture O'Brien, but he turned the
tables, took both of them, and carried
his prizes to WATERFOWL, Me. For
his daring and enterprise O'Brien was
made Captain of Marine of the col
ony of Massachusetts,. - New York

SPECKS ON LEMONS.
Under . M.gnifylng Glass They Change.
Into Bugs.

The prejudice in Germany and Aus
tria against our fruit is likely to be CT
long duration. Something known as.
the San Jose scale has infested our
fruits. They say you can see one OF
these little creatures on the next lemon
that you buy, provided, of course, that
the lemon has on it a tiny black speck.
Examine the speck under strong mag
nifying glass, and you will discover the
cause of all our recent commercial
woes-a small creature with legs. wings
and antennae. He is most pestifer-
Gus and dangerous element in the
world, being difficult to set rid Of, and
evil in all his habits. He takes the life
out of whatever he lives on. He draws
the juice from the trees, so tha.. they
wither and die, and he propagates with
great rapidity. No way Of getting rid
of him has yet been discovered.-Har-

FLOWING MADE EASY.

From the Farm Implement New.
| The Fuller & Johnson Mfg. CoA>
Madison. Wisconsin, have brs--.l
new implement, namaI' r-enS
plow, that is attracti,g much atten-f
ton wherever it is .een. Heretofore
there has been ve,y serious objection
to the riding plew where there is stone.
In striking stone not only has there
been danger of breaking the pillow and
harness, but the blow on the shoulders
of the horses was very injurious, and
worse than all, the driver was IN dan
ger of being thrown off and injured.
These objections are overcome in this
appropriately named stone dodger
plow. When 1t strikes stone the pillow
part only is raised up and slides over
the stone and pulls itself into the
ground again without any action on the
part of the driver. The sulky part is
not raised at all. A boy or an old man
who can handle the team can thus
readily do the blowing.
So much interest has been taken IN
this pillow wherever it has been shown
that the manufacturers have adopted
novel plan to aid In preventing it's man
ifest advantages to the farming COM
munityS They are havingc.a large num-
Der of models made and i'm any section
where there is no sample pillow that
can readily be seen, any reputable
farm can, by writing tCD the company,
have model sent to- him by express
for inspection, without expense to hinaA
the company paying expressage both
ways. The farmer, after examination,
simply returns it to the express office.
The model is nice piece OF work. 1t
weighs only ten pounds. The plow is
made as a single pillow for three horses,
and as double or gang for four horses.
A very effective potato planting attach
ment can be had with these plows, a.
small extra cost.
