LOCATING AN ORCHARD
A Light, PerviOus Clay Loan, =.
Some Lime I'm 1t, II Certainly
the Best Soil.

The site for the orchard on the farm
must be selected from such lands as
make up the farm, taking the location.
of the buildings and the lay of the land
into consideration. OF course. it is
impossible on every farm to supply tbs
best conditions for fruit culture, but
q little care in the selection OF the To-
cation will make q difference in the
quantity and quality of the fruit.
When it can be had. deep soil-the
deeper the better-as the greater the
depth of the naturally drained soil the
better it is adapted for fruit.
j. It is waste of time and money to
set out fruit trees in a wet, heavy, inn
pervious soil that is undrained. On the
other hand, an orchard growing on
high, dry, exposed situations will not
thrive as it should. The trees may live
but in many seasons the fruit will not
mature promptly, and what does ma
ture will be of an inferior quality. One
advantage of deep soil is that the
trees growing in it are better able to
withstand drought.
1t is true that In many localities land
too rocky or broken to be cultivated to
advantage may DE planted with fruit
trees and be made to return a better
profit than would otherwise be posi-
BILE. At the same time the best fruit
and that which brings the best re-
turns is grown in deep, rich soil. kept
in good condition.
The fact should be considered that
an orchard will occupy the ground for
a number of years without change
more so than any other crop grown on
the farm.
In localities where late spring frosts
appear with fearful effect, an eastern
or southern exposure should always be
avoided. A northern slope gives a
coldeS and later soil, and thus retards
the poisoning until later period,
and in this pay reduces the danger Of
injury from late spring frosts.
A light, pervious clay loan, with
some lime in it, with natural drainage,
is the best for ar orchard.
If the orchard can be protected from
the north and west winds, all the bet
ter. When an orchard is to be planted
in the fall, the location should be Sc
lected in good season, in order that it
may be plowed and prepared in proper
condition. AS with all other crops
the best results are possible only by
making the necessary preparation and
the giving of proper care.-St. Louis
Republic.

Brand New Anaesthetic.

The latest anaeSthet1c preparation
is eucaine, prepared from a South
American plant, and in it's local &C.
ton is similar to cocaine, but with
out any of the poisonous effects Of
the latter, even though employed in
much larger doses. The severest test
as yet reported was the amputation
at the lower third of the leg of a man
SO years old, without the use of chlor-
oform or ether, followed by rapid and
painless healing of the stump. AS
much of the eucaine was put in two
or three tablespoonfuls of water as
the water would dissolve, and with a
hypodermic syringe a few drops of
the solution was injected under the
skin: about an inch from the center of
the injection another was made, then
another. until the limb was girdled by
them at the place where amputation
was intended. After waiting five min
utes to allow the superficial tissues to
become insensible. the needle was
thrust deeply into the muscles and in
lection made. In few minutes all that
portion of the leg including three or
four inches above and below the ring
of injections was found to be desti-
tute of feeling. and the operation of
cutting off the limb was proceeded with
exactly as with chloroform. When the
deeper tissues were cut into a slight
smarting sensation was experienced
a few times, but Immediately relieved

holds the tubes extended on one side,
while they rise on the other side, the
same mechanism allowing them to un-
lock automatically and hang pendant,
Mr.. Falls idea being that the tubes
present less resistance when hanging
pendant thap when extended.
AS the tubes pass the apex of the
pulley the quicksilver flows quickly
down the inclining tubes, constantly
adding to their weight as they go. Mr..
Fall believes that If he can succeed in
governing the weight accurately he
will be able to overcome the dead-oen-
ter. The other idea that he describes
is what he terms double cross, the
arms imparting motion by means of
weights, the whole governed by the
central portion above the arms. This
he believes is certain to prove a sue
cess as soon as he is able to overcome
the dead-center.

HOW CYCLONES FORM.
Lieut.. El1ic0tt Throws Some Light on
q Subject with Which But
Few Are Familiar.

Lieut.. John NJ. Ellicott, q. 8. n, con-
tributes to ST. Nicholas an article on
1.-The Cradle of Cyclones" Lieut.. Eli
colt says:
''To get an idea of cyclones forma-
ton, imagine large circular pan or
tub with quite large hole in the mid
die of its bottom. With this hole
plugged, fill the vessel with water;
then draw out the plug and watch.
There is first a rush of water from
all directions toward the hole and a
turbulent effort to get through. Then
the water surface above begins to sink
and swirl, the particles gradually
circling around and around and rush
ing. ever faster, toward the center. At
last there is actually hollow space
through the center, around which all
the water in the tub is whirling slug
gishly near the rim, but with more and
more violent rapidity towards tie mid
die, until 1T rushes downward through
the bottom. Now, if that water were
air, you would be watching little cy-
clone turned upside down, for the air
rushes upward instead of downward.
I'm tie cradle of cyclones during the
summer months, when the land and
the water grow hotter and hotter be-
cause of the longer days than nights.
p layer of air, hot, light and full Of
vapor, is for a time held down by q
denser air above it. Restless, expand
ing, tumultuous it moves about like a
beast at bay until a thinner place in
the air above is found. Then up it mad
ly rushes, and into the vacuum left be-
hind the lower atmosphere hastens
from all directions, pushing and twist
ing and pouring until it has fallen into
a regular spinning around common
center. The cyclone, once formed,
rushes away from the tropics toward
the pole and begins its career of de-
struction, bruising. wrecking and sink
ing the luckless ships which happen to
be in its path. More and more of the
surrounding atmosphere is drawn in to
the whirl, until the storm often covers
an area nearly a thousand miles in di-
ameter. Sometimes it filings itself up
on our Atlantic coast and tears fierce
ly through forests, fields and cities.
Then again it sweeps away across the
broad ocean and dashes itself upon the
coasts of Europe. Once in awhile it so
adroitly avoids the land that we never
know it has passed until ships come in
torn and broken"

INFECTION BY. BREATH.
A Simple Illustration Showing How
Easily Disease Germs May
He Disseminated.

In order to impress on us how east
ly infection may often be disseminated
by the breath, a writer in The Hospital
London) bids us watch the course of
the smoke expelled from the mouth of
one who is enjoying cigar. He says:
The fumes do but make visible what
is happening all the day whether we
smoke or not. Each of the tiny par
ticles of carbon or condensed vapor,
which in their millions make up
wreath of smoke, does but indicate the
track taken by a corresponding par
ticle Of expired air, which, if Itscan
carry the visible carbon, can still more
easily carry the invisible microbe.
Thus Whit OF smoke entering our
nostrils and penetrating our lungs
does but show the course which might
be taken just as easily by swarm of
microbes, and serves to demonstrate
one at least of the ways In which a
crowded life passed IN close commune
ty with our fellows leads to mischief.
The passage OF a Whit of smoke from
mouth to mouth does, in fact, but illus
trate the mode in which the well-rec-
ognized evils of rebreathing expired
air are produced. It is not the air, but
what the air carries with it, that does
the harm. What is illustrated by to-
bacco smoke is sometimes proved in
another way. In the bright sunbeams
notes are said to dance, and by careful
watching one may see not only how
numerous these notes are, but of what
nasty stuff they are not infrequently
composed. The wheezy flower seller
coughing over his tray of violets, the
loud-voiced hawker shouting over his
barrow of strawberries, the shifting
child sneezing at the street corner,
the painting person who will shake out
his handkerchief in the bus before
using it, even polite people talking to
each other, are all doing things which
on a dull day seems inn ocuous enough.
Let the sun shine, however, and the
tell-tale sunbeams soon display the
showers of saliva and the crowds of
dust which are thus scattered III the
air and can almost be traced from
mouth to mouth. This is estheticaily
abominable, but in the vast ma jority
of cases probably does no harm. Here

come from people who are diseased,
and carry disease to those who are
healthy. The rebreathing of expired
air is certainly one cause of disease,
especially to those who live in towns
and in close dwellings,; and how real
is the risk. and how readily the passage
of solid particles from man to man and
from mouth to mouth is accomplished,
is made manifest every time Whit Of

A simple remedy for the removal of

man, which it says are among the
troublesome things in the dairy, and
one that affects both the cow and the
mixer alike, is their presence more or

disagreeable because by the act of
milking they frequently cause sores
