The idea Of Mr.. Gilleland was one of
considerable ingenuity. A fifty-foot
chain with the ends attached to two
cannon balls was the charge, and the
idea of the inventor was that, when the
cannon balls came out Of the muzzle Of
the cannon, they would have ten
dency to diverge draw the chain taut
and NOW down an entire company.
The company took the cannon out
into the country near Athens one day to
test it. 1t was properly charged, and
was touched off with great ceremony.
One of the balls got out little ahead
of the other, and then the mischief was
to pay. 1t had a kind of circular mo-
tlon, and plowed up a quarter of an
acre of ground, the members of the
company in the meantime scattering In
all directions to keep from being hit by
the flying chain.
The old cannon was never used after
that except at an occasional Demo-
cratic jubilee, when charges Of powder
would be fired. About five years ago
the old cannon disappeared, and not
until a few days ago did our people
know where twas. Last week it turned
up in junk shop, but 1t was promptly
purchased by the city. Mr.. Neumyer,
who owned the cannon, had been Of
fered $50 for it, but when he learned
that it was rare old relic and our peo-
pie wanted to keep it he promptly
turned down the offer and swapped 1t
to the city for an old bell.

All the nut-growing trees do best
when planted where they are to stand
permanently, and all must be planted
In the fall, as once the nuts become
thoroughly dried their vitality is de.
stroyed and they refuse to germlnate.
The nuts should be planted only two
or three inches deep In order that the
frost may get to them and break open
the shell. m
Among all the nut trees none makes
so quick return as the chestnut when
planted where conditions are favorable.
The American chestnut is as good and
sweet as any from any country, but the
size Of the nuts do not compare with
the japanese varieties.
The best way to secure Japanese
chestnut trees Is to plant native chest
nuts and afterward graft Japanese
sclons on them. A similar plan was
followed with chestnut grove In New
Jersey. The native trees were cut down
and allowed to sprout up. and these
sprouts were grated with scions
from japanese chestnut trees. In ten
years each one of these CRAFTS was
yielding n crop which brought from $5
to 81 to the tree, and this yield will In
crease every year for twenty or thirty
years, when the yield from one tree
will be as much as $50.
Walnuts, hickory nuts or pecans are
easily grown, the first two In the North
and the last In the South. Walnut trees
come into bearing in few years where
they are cultivated, and in course OF
time produce lumber of the most value
able kind.

To Po1rsnizs Strawberries.

A writer In the Rural New Yorker
says that in raising strawberries to as
sist in securing polarization, either
for fruit for consumption or for the
seed, swish an evergreen bush back
and forth, just touching the plants
lightly, doing this every day while In
bloom. The most favorable time is at
midday, beneath clear sky. and when
the plants are free from excess OF
moisture. Avoid drenchlng the foliage
with water when the plants are In
bloom, If satisfactory polarization L.

Kin Van Winkle.

The veteran comedian, the dean of the American stage, Joseph Jefferson appeared at the Hyperion theater last night, presenting the play which has become synonymous with his name The audience was enormous in size and proved that his popularity is un- waning Several generations were represented in the audience. There were large number of children pres ent to whom the play is fascinating fairy-play. To their parents and grandsires it must nowadays be mat ter of sentiment and affection. That it was first hearing of the play for very few of those present was evident from the way the well known points were received with chuckles of appreciation and delighted recognition. The laugh ter which greets the familiar toast, the references to Snyder" the "cold pota- to-" etc. seems less spontaneous than reminiscent Not that the performance gives less pleasure than formerly be- cause despite the actors seventy four years his powers seem in no way di- unfinished His ability to provoke sym pathetic laughter or tears at will is as great as ever He holds his audience like d lOp III tit pdllll uI Ills ldllu. I1S is a wonderful old man and the excep- tional enthusiasm and cordiality shown last night are we'll deserved. A con sidelation of last nights performance and of MT Jeffersons acting of Rip" and other roles revives the old discus sion of the relative value in acting of personality and impersonation Jef- ferson's individuality permeates every t,ly aud
 monly say He is always Jefferson. There is in his performances very lit tln characterization or impersonation
 lie does not enter into the role, but rather adapts the part to himself. His aN is subjective and not objective. But his hold on his audience, the mag netic sway over his emotions is greater than much of the finest character act ing even of the most distinguished actors. There is only one conclusion. Personality is more potent than art.

 No stranger could ever be persuaded that the extraordinary performances of the animal were not the results Of teaching instead of being solely the work of native genius. He possessed-- for he quite understood "meum,' if not "tuum "a rough wooden ball about the size of a Dutch cheese, and with this he would constantly practice a series of feats with as serious and solemn an air as if he were training for gymnas- tic championship.
 He would deliberately stand on his head for some minutes, the ball bal anced on the soles of his hind feet Then he would drop it into his front paws and shufIle along to the edge of the veranda, climb the posts, hugging the ball with one arm, and in some way contrive to lie on his back on the top rail, about two inches broad, while he kept the ball necessarily rolling be- tween his fore and hind paws. Another trick was to clasp the ball with both arms, and in this position to turn slow ly heels over head the whole length of the veranda. These and other tricks he did at his own will and pleasure, refus- ing steadily to learn from man any ac complishments.
 He was the most inquisitive beast imaginable, and woe to the storeroom or wardrobe that was ever left open. In two minutes Bruins long, sickle shaped slaWs would drag it's contents in heap on to the floor, while his flexible snout would be roofing it in every cor ner. On one occasion he was diScoV- cred in the act of carrying off clock for investigation at leisure; and on another being accidentally shut into the "g0-down," or storeroom, he entirely ruined brand new saddle and gnawed into shreds a quantity of floor mating.

USEFULNESS OF ALUMINIUM

The psincipal uses of aluminium are
 too many to be enumerated. The prop
 critics of the metal are so akin to those
 of copper and brass that, broadly speak | ing aluminium, or one of it's light al- | Joys, should to a large extent replace | both copper and tin and also nickel or | German silver. Such change would | be followed by various advantages to all concerned. Not only would there | be a considerable reduction in the weight of the articles, but they would not tarnish or turn black on exposure to air. The cost should be the same, If not actually lower, inasmuch as, bulk for bulk, aluminium is already cheaper
 than copper or tin; and its price will continue to fall as the demand increas es. One field, however. remains which copper is bound to maintain as it's own, | namely, the construction of isolated electrical conductors. Experiments have already been made on a large scale with bare conductors of alumi-
 nium for telephones with perfectly sat
 isfactory results, it's conductivity,
 weight for weight, being double that of
 copper But when the mains have to be
 ='ebboiN'NNiy
 proachable, on account of it's greater conductivity, volume for volume, which
 is one hundred and sixty-five per cent.
 of that of aluminium.
 Besides the advantages set forth above aluminium is not poisonous, and is pre-eminently adapted for the manu- facture of cooking utensils. A steady demand for aluminium is springing up
 in various kinds of printing processes, as well as in lithography. The metal appears to answer admirably for the construction of rollers used in calico printing; and when it's surface is prop erly prepared, it is also capable of re- placing the ordinary Photographic stone, It can easily be imagined that, instead of having cumbrous and heavy stones, which can be printed only on special slow-runnng "litho" machines, it Is far better and cheaper to use thin sheets of metal which can be bent into a cir cular form and printed on rotary press eS.
 Bicycles, electric-light fittings, chains, brides, stirrups, surgical instruments, seXtants and other scientific apparatus, keys, cigar cases, pen end pencil
 lOlueTS, lOllSl dItlCltS, pldltS anu diSli- es, spoons. forks, frames name-plates door furniture hat and coat-pegs, boot trees, fire-engine fittings, business and visiting cards, and photographic came ras are a few of the things that are being daily made in aluminium by va rious firms
 For motor cars there should be a large field for aluminium. A further demand for the metal will be brought about by its introduction into the mili- tary services All parts of the soldiers equipment have practically been made already in aluminium, such as mess tins waterbottles, buttons, helmets, parts of rifles, cartridge-cases, fittings for guns tents, horseshoes, portable bridges, etc, and it is well-known that Continental armies, notably the Ger man army, are employing aluminium on a large scale.-Cassier's

STRANGE PHILIPPINE PETS.
Baby Rhinoceros and Performing Sun Bear Cub Among the Household Anil

Baby Rhinoceros and Performing Sun | Bear Cub Among the Household Ani- | mals.
 | One sees strange pets in these new
 possessions of ours in the tropics. One that amused us all very much during a recent visit was baby rhinoceros that was being brought up by hand. Master. what happens when one finds a little rhinoceros that has no mother?" was what the native who had the little one asked my friend. "Who is there that has killed the moth CT of the young one?" was the guarded reply.
 It is a misdemeanor to kill these ami mals except under certain circum- stances, and the natives had probably been playing high jinks in the jungle, Of course all knowledge of the demise of the mother was absolutely denied, but the possible suspicion that if the circumstances were found out some body would suffer brought the price of the baby down to the very lowest limit.
 The animal was the personfication of ugliness. The horns on it's huge upper jaw were just about forming and it's legs looked for all the world like those of an old-fashoned square piano. Two teeth had already made their appear ance, and there were evidences of oth- CTS about to come. The daily diet was supplemented by leaves that the young fellow chewed in great shape.
 But he dearly loved his bottle of milk and the fuss he made about it was truly Imaginable. Then, too, another interest," ing thing he did was to set up terrific whining whenever those who had visi- ted him walked away.
 The drollest creature of all was a Ma layan sun bear that was a perfect run ming river of harmless merriment. He had been picked up in the jungle as a very small cub, and when on all-fours, his most infrequent position, was about a yard long and half as high. He was an admirable performer as a bped, and the first sight of him was enough to upset most peoples gravity as he came forward to greet the stranger with
