Balloons for War Purposes.

When the dirigible balloon is CON-
plete success its use in the operations
of war may be practical. Until then
and possibly afterward-the balloon
promises to be far more dangerous TO
the army supplied with it than to the
one against which it is proposed to use
it
1t has been shown that it is possible
to make q long voyage at high rate
of speed, three German army officers
having travelled 421 miles at speed
of seventy miles an hour. But this
experiment proves very little as to the
practical usefulness Of the balloon for
military service. 1t is not likely that
these officers could have discovered
any important information during this
hurried trip, and even if they had they
would have descended in the enemy's
lines, where they would have been cap
tured.
In Cuba during the late war the cap
tive balloon that was expected to
serve as q lookout for our officers
above the Spanish lines caused, it was
reported, the loss Of many lives in our
own ranks, because it located our po-
sitlon exactly.
Even if it were possible to steer the
balloon in any desired direction, it
might not be Of much value in war,
for it would merely transfer 10 the air
q certain amount Of the fighting that
now takes place on terra firma. But
until our knowledge Of air navigation
is greatly enlarged we cannot hope for
very desirable results from balloons

ability and L don't want him hanging
around here any more. :"
"What is business ability, papa?"
Why. you know. Everybody knows,
of course. Let me see. Why, it's
ability to see the main chance-to
grab it and hang on to it till you get
the money. That's what ii is, and
there's plenty OF young men in Detroit

that you're speaking without proper
information. He knows that I'll have

chance worth looking after. Mr..
Blank saw it. He reached out and
grabbed for ii. He's hanging on, and

of large meat refrigerating plants, and
one Of the four in Buenos Ayres. that
owned by the Sansena Company, has
facilities for killing, dressing, freezing
and sending out $500 sheep day, ana
is the largest plant Of the sort i'll the
world. Before the era Of refrigeration
it was impossible to transport meat
long distances, and much less to carry
it across the tropics to Europe. In
those days we used to hear chiefly OF
the beef extracts prepared from Ar
gentine and Uruguay cattle. But now
Argentina alone is exporting about .
100000 frozen carcasseS of sheep
year. The processes employed are
practically the same as in New Zca-
land, and, as in our own slaughterinS
centres, nothing is allowed to so to
waste.
Cold storage is one Of the great mod
ern triumphs in transportation. South
Africa is able to profit by it to get
summer-made butter all the year
round. 1t is winter in Denmark when
summer reigns in Australia, and so
when it is the grass season in Aus
tralia q good deal Of South Africa's
butter comes from that quarter of the
earth. and when the grass is serc and
yellow in the dairy districts Of Aus
tralia the butter of Denmark begins to
arrive. England buys from Denmark
nearly $3O.000,000 worth Of butter 4
year, and, though the distance is short
more and more Of it is being sent in
cold storage. Cold storage does not
create wealth. but it keeps wealth
from becoming loss. 1t lengthens
the marketing period, for unless but
ter, Strawberries and other articles are
preserved in some way or other they
deteriorate or become yalueless in 4
very short time. 1t also enables the
producer, within certain limits, to
choose his own time for selling, for he
is not compelled TO sell, whether he
will or no, at an unfavorablc time.

A Sea-GoinE Sanatoriu1n.

York each morning load of infants
to breathe the pure air which it is
difficult for them to obtain in the tene

great mass of the patients sit or play
on deck, breathing fresh mir and en-
joying sen breezes. Then feeding

dren and the mothers-for no infants
come without their mothers-get for
once good meal. Bathingis another
great feature of these trips, and or

their outing with clean skins and full
stomachs, with bodies revived by the
sea air, and minds refreshed by new
sights which they will not readily for

A German professor by the name of

which is natural electric battery.
When the dark green leaves of the
tree were touched with the fingers
tiny spark was emitted and distinct
electrical shock was felt Professor
Leipsic found that even at distance
of 50 feet the tree had a strong in
fuence upon the m: ;netic needle.
These magnetic variations varied ac-
cording to the time OF day. They were
strongest at noon, but almost entirely
disappeared at midnight. The elec-
tricity also disappeared in wet weather.

The Crows Shrewdness.

Crows communicate with each other,
as their various notes show; let one
give the lookout" call from q tree
while the others are feeding on the
ground and see the result. A crow not
only knows the language of its kindred
but it also knows all the talk of the
woods. A squirrel may rustic leaves
or give its cheepy call and the crow
PAYS no attention, but let little bushy-
tail begin to cough and bark at some
thing which he regards rs an intru-
sion, and the crow takes q position
where he can observe operations with
safety to himself. Let some black
birds have an owl at bay in 4 bush, in
daylight, and the crow knows their
language and is wise enough to keep
out of that scrapping match, for he
has known blackbirds to persecute a
poor crow for just taking few eggs,
when there was no evidence that one
egg belonged to the prosecutors.
The crow is Il wise fellow. He has
lived in his native land, where the
hand Of every boy and man has been
against him. and where the so-called
game birds have been killed off. Crow
is not marketable bird; men are said
to have eaten it, but mot to banker
after it," but if the bird was edible
and considered "game" he would not
be exterminated in settled places as
the grouse has been-he knows more
than the grouse.
Unless when driven by hunger in
winter to feed in barnyards let no man
go forth to shoot the crow. He would
not get one in q month, unless by ac-
cident. 1t has been shown that the
crow can count up to five when that
of men have gone into 4 blind
and only four have come out. and the
bait was in range Of the last mans
gun. The crow knew that there was a
man missing.-Forest and Stream.

noon. The package was a cocoanue in
the same form in which it was first

tbe address was written on the husk.
One Of the three sides Of the husk was
taken up by the address, which used
ND nearly all the space allotted for it.
Another side contained the postage
stamps. Of these there was one tif-
teen-cent stamp, two two-cent stamps,
and, in spite Of the fact that the re-

commemoration Of the Maine, there
WAS plenty of room for many more

FROZEN MUTTON.
Enormous Growth of Business in Argentina
and Australasia.


and Australasia.
1t Is nineteen years since the hrst
shipload of frozen mutton was de-
spatched from Melbourne. The trade
in refrigerated meat was at first very
slow in developing. In 1883 only Sll'-
600 worth Of sheep carcasses were sent
across the sea from Argentina. 1t was
not until about ten years ago that the
business began to take on very large
proportions. To-day New Zealand has
its freezing works at Auckland, vel
lington and elsewhere, and every year
over $5,O00,000 worth of fish, beer,
mutton and lamb are frozen SOLID,
sewed up in canvas, stored in the cold
chambers Of ships built for the trade
and sent to markets in Polynesia ana
Europe. In 1890 New South Wales
expectation Of sheep carcasses was
ONLY 100000, but it has steadily IN
creased, and in 1896 it reached the
large figure Of 100000 carcasses, av-
eraging fifty-siX pounds. 1t costs three
cents pound to KILL freeze, ship ana
sell the mutton in London; and among
the other places of large shipment are
Manchester. South Africa and Malta.
Queensland is the only Australian col
only that exports beef in any quantity.
New Zealand now has the most eXten-
sive meat-freezing works in Austral-
asia. They are at Auckland, yelling
ton and elsewhere, and in 1896 they
froze 2,362, $50 Sleeps carcasses. Tn

Ground oyster Shell Medicine.

Ground oyster shells were given by
the medieval doctors to children suf-

it appears that they were right. The
shells contain lime, nitrogen, iron,
sulphur, manganese, magnesia, flour,
bromide, phosphoric acid and iodine,
all excellent for feeble children. They
say that if growing children were to
take powdered oyster shells in their
food the teeth would be improved.
