HEiFER WAS RESTLESS.
And She Made ~ Exceedingly Li,ci, for
u Time.

INV
The other night the biz clock on
the city hall tower had just sounded
the hour Of midnight and all was peace
and quiotness AT union station. Just
then. however, II half-grown heifer
which was stabbed in the milk shed of
the station decided to liven up mat
ters. says the Pittsburg Leader. The
immature bovine for some reason or
other became discontinued with its Sur
rOundings and wandered out into the
yards. Once free, the frisky animal
betrayed startling proclivities as To "A
train dOdger and proceeded to give Il
number of freight engineers heart
trouble by skipping nimbly back and
forth across the tracks with an evil
dent desire to firt with the headlights
of the different locomotives. firing OF
this. the animal developed an exceed
ingly bad temper and proceeded to
chase everybody in sight up and down
the tracks. For IA while pandemOnium
ieigned in the erstwhile peaceful yards
and the employees organized themselves
into an offensive and defensive body
with the idea Of capturing the now
Infatuated bovine. Among the em-
ployes were several who had recently
returned from Mexico. where they wit
messed several bull fights. The yard
master was one Of these. and he took
command, with one of the station
masters assistants as lieutenant. The
running back and forth of the animal
made the operation of freight trains
through the yard dangerous and ac-
cordingly all the signals were blazing
forth the danger signal. These red
discs did not tend to pacify the heifer,
which gaily charged at them as they
appeared. After some trouble the
yardmaster succeeded In rounding up
the animal in the ~roundhouse, where,
after a few Intellectual attempts TO butt
the big locomotives off the rails. the
heifer quoted down and was secured
and returned TO the milkshed.
An amusing feature of the perform
ance resulted through the appearance
of a wandering minstrel, who stated
that he could quiet the animal by sing
ing to II. The employees gave him a
chance, but no sooner had he struck up
the first bars of "On the Banks of the
Wabash" than the enraged bovine
charged and chased him into the tun-
mel.

which was an account Of an unique
hat. constructed entirely OF corn. In
this connection the following may not
be deemed altogether inappropriate:
In the early days of the Soho Works.
Birmingham, Eng, u workman called
on Messrs. Boulton a. Watt requesting
to see Matthew Boulton, from whom he
unsuccessfully solicited employment.
AS he was turning away, Boulton, who
was a very sharp-sighted man where
anything mechanical was about. called
him back. and, asking him whence no
procured his hat, was told he had made
it himself. What Is 1t made off"
Wood" How did you make it,"
Turned it in a lathe" replied the
man. But. man." said Boulton. that
thing is round; you could not turn
that in a lathe" He had hit upon the
expedient. now well enough known,
Of causing the lathe spindle to rise and
fall once for every revolution 1t made.
as Is done today in the invention
known ~ the elliptical chuck. This
man was Murdoch, who became the
manager of the works, and who was
instrumental, above all other men. in
giving to the Soho Works the proud
position ii for SO many years enjoyed
among mechanics. In another place

ated by the alarum OF a clock. This

DRYING DAMP WHEAT.
ITO be continued.)

New Process for Extracting Moisture
From Grain Under IL Vacuum.
From the London Times: A now
process for artifcially extracting mois-
ture from wheat was put to a careful
test in Berlin recently. The trial was
carried out at the instance OF Mr.. Yer
burgh, NJ. p, who sent over fifty quar-
tiers Of English wheat to be submitted
to the process. The result was en-
tirely satisfactory, over 6 per cent o!
moisture being taken from the wheat
which was a very dry sample in ex-
cellent condition-while the heat 20
which it was subjected could not DOS
sibly AFFECT 1t inj~uriously. The prin-
ciple Of the process-viZ., that OF dry
ing under "a vacuum-has been applied
to many articles of commerce., and the
result of this trial Is to show that IL
is equally well adapted to wheat. II
Is hardly necessary to point out that
the subject Is one OF great interest TO
British farmers, who would be greatly
benefited by the provision OF facilities
for getting their wheat into condition.
particularly In a wet season. The full
details of the trial will be laid before
the agricultural committee on corn
stores.
