a Few. Ti Z Pointers.

The up-to-date farmer has learned
the wisdom Of doing his own thinking,
and in selecting a binder or mower to
weigh carefully the actual points Of
superiority and to avoid mere talk
ing" or selling" points. The life
of machine depends largely: on it's
main frame, which, should be solid
enough to outwear the working parts
and yet not heavy enough to tear it.
self to pieces through it's own inertia
The Deering Ideal Binder has a high
carbon steel frame, hot-riveted at the
joints. This machine has stood the
most severe tests ever put on a binder.
It has a cutting apparatus that will cut
any crop that grows; elevators that
will elevate anything it cuts; simple
reel with greater range Of adjustment
than any other, operated with single
lever; the famous Deering Knotter and
Binder which never Misses; the only
bundle carrier worthy Of the name,
and finally Deering Roller and Ball
Bearings, making it the lightest draft
binder that ever cut swath. >-E

Resisting Power of Snow.

Some experiments were made recent
" in France on the penetratiYe forte
Of bullets through snow. The results
were astonishing The Lebel rifle was
used, and alta distance Of 16Q feet the
bullet penetrated only five feet into the
snow target. a bullet from a Lebel
rifle has been known, 1T is said, to go
through d tree three and one-half feet
& in diameter. That 1t should penetrate
only eighteen inches further into such
soft stuff as snow seems altogether.
startling. The explanation suggested
BY the experimenters is that the rotat-
ing bullet picks up particles Of snow
as it goes in, and SO gets "bal1ed" or.
blocked up. Doubtless, also, the ine-
lastic5 chara cter of snow also accounts
for the difference. The closing in Of
the springy particles Of wood behind
the bullet tends to facilitate penetra-
ton. Any inert mass, such as sand.
earth or coal, shows great resistance
against penetration r Pathfinder.

TRICKS THAT ARE LIGHT.

And Cause Objects to Shine Forth Whe1

Many seemingly wonderful tricks
can be performed with the use OF a few
simple chemicals. One of them is the

q. S. This should be mixed and rolled
into marbles and kept at q red heat
for about an hour, then allowed to
cool slowly and placed in a glass-stop-
pered bottle. "a few hours before using
place in the sun, and the marbles at
once become luminous At the enter
tainment ordinary marbles are passed
among the audience, one or more OF
the luminous marbles being concealed
in the hand. The exhibitor then takes
marble from some one in the au--
dience, holds it between his thumb and
forefnger, blows upon it, and asks to
have the lights turned down. AS this
is done he substitutes the luminous
marble, and the mysterious light is
seen. This is handed around, and
changes again as the light is turned
on, when the magician presents to the
audience several Of the ordinary mar
bles as souvenirs. Another trick is
very effective. Take two similar
punches of artificial flowers; brush one
over with glue or mucilage and powder
it with the dust from one of the mar
bles described; then place in the sun.
When taken into darkened room lum-
nous flowers are seen. The magician
exhibits the flowers that have not been
prepared and shows that there is moth
ing peculiar about them; then, as the
light is turned down, he substitutes
the concealed bunch, blows upon the
flowers, and, presto! displays to the
astonished observers a luminous bunch,
each flower of which stands out as if at
white heat. Luminous letters can be
written and exhibited in the dark to
the wonder of the audience. Luminous
ink is made by placing piece of phos-
phorus about the size of a pea in test
tube with little olive OIL. Place the
tube in a water bath until the oil be-
comes heated and the PHOSPHORUS
liquid. Shake we'll and pour into a
bottle with glass stopper. Admit air
just previous to using it, and the liquid
will become luminous tracery in the
dark. Water can be rendered luminous
in a very simple manner. Dissolve a
small piece of phosphorus in ether for
several days in glass-stoppered bot
tie. In this place a lump of sugar,
then drop the sugar in water, which
will at once become luminous. Lum-
inous paints can be made any color
green, yellow, violet or blue-and if
applied to various objects make a Won
1erful display at night.
