Ingenious Sounding Apparatus.


Rapid-test soundings were required
In some work on a railway line be-
tween Paris and Havre, where the cast
iron viaduct of Bezous was replaced
by an arch bridge alongside. The old
foundations for six channel piers were
removed to the bottom of the river. It
was required that the river bed should
be carefully leveled. After 1t had been
dredged the bottom was explored by
means Of q horizontal bar of iron
about twenty feet long. which was sus.
pended at each end from a framework
uniting two fatboats In catamaran
fashion. This beam was lowered close
to the bottom and the boats we're

The boat was stopped and the obstruc-

made; how an actor lie trained and what
the actors are actually paid; how play

From Farmers Review II is o
common complaint of people who grow
squashes for winter consumption that
the fruits will not keep for any length
OF time after removal from the field to
the vegetable cellar, Sometimes this
trouble may be In the choice OF Varie-
ties, but this seems to be seldom the
case, since even the old reliable Hub
bard Is complained Of as much as the
rest, Generally the fault rests with
the grower, who, busy with other de-
tails, allows his hardy" vegetables to
lie In the field long after they should
be in the cellar; grumbling, when he
does remove them, because these un-
wieldy things must be left until It's
most too cold to work outdoors"
From our experience and observation
we think 1t safe to say that frost
that will kill melon, pumpkin or
squash vine will also have some harm
full effect upon the fruit 1t bears, par
ticularly II the squashes or melons or
pumpkins are not fully ripe. At any
rate we find that these fruits when re-
moved from the vine to the cellar be-
fore vine-killing frost has touched
them will keep better than those al
lowed to remain after the plants have
been killed. In many cases immature
specimens, II not too young, and II
gathered before the frost, will keep
better than ripe ones gathered after
ward.
We have found that gathering all the
fruits at one time and sorting them
according to their stage Of ripeness Is
the best plan. The fully ripe ones are
stored at once; the immature ones laid
together In a sunny place where they
can be covered at night and exposed
during the day. They are allowed to
remain here until the approach OF
severe weather, when they are taken
to the cellar. Here we put them in
the warmest place, provided 1t be dry, |
and allow them to continue ripening. !
Our home supply, principally lmma-
ture specimens, Is stored around the
furnace, a bricked-up affair that is not
very warm at any time, but is warmer
than the rest Of the cellar. We use
the rlpest first and thus prolong the
season. OF course there is such a
thing as gathering these fruits too
young. In such cases they will rot in
spite Of anything. II the rlnd be soft
