GLASS RETAINS HEAT.
Professor of Physics Explains In n
Simple Way Why Greenhouses
Stay Hot Inside.

1t is very curious, said the old profess
sor of physics, to see how many market
gardeners there are who raise things
under glass, make money out of the
process, and yet do not know why their
heating frames and their lighthouses re-
main hot inside.
Now, as matter of fact, the heat
mechanism of dollhouse depends on
a well known proposition in physics.
l suppose you are acquainted with the
fact that the energy from the sun trav-
els in the form of little waves.
The energy does not come down to
us in straight lines; it comes, as it were,
in zigzag manner, dancing from side
to side as it comes along. If these
waves are very short, light is the result;
if they are trife longer, they take
the form of heat.
If the light waves strike anything
on the way down, they are very apt to
be made longer, or rather are apt to be
turned into heat. Now, the waves which
form light are so short that they will
readily pass through glass, but the
waves which form heat are so long that
they will not pass through.
From this, therefore, you will see
why a dollhouse remains hot. The en-
ergy from the sun passes into the house
through the glass roof in the form of
light. Then it strikes the objects in
the house and is turned to heat.
But this heat cannot pass out through
the glass. The heat waves are too long.
So the light keeps coming in and the
heat keeps accommodating and soon the
lighthouses become very warm, indeed,
even on the coolest days in winter.
Of course, our dwelling-houses are
heated by the sun in the same way. The
light comes in through the windows,
but the heat cannot pass out.-Boston
Globe.

ROOTS FOR THE DAIRY.
why Farmers Should Plan to Plant
an Acre or Two to the Sue
culent MnngeI.

Wherever n few cows are kept for
milk or butter it would be well to con-
slider the advisability of growing few
roots A ton OF roots does not have as
large food value as most feeds we
might mention, but it furnishes sue
culence which cannot be obtained in
winter from any other food except ST.
lage. Silage requires equipment in the
way of silo and cutting machinery
which Is not available to the man with
small herd Roots may be grown on
any good loan soil, and will yield n
profitable return in feed for labor eX-
pended.
AT the Indiana station mangels were
grown at labor cost of $1O7 ton.
This included blowing, fitting, plant
ing, wedding, cultivation and harvest
ing. The variety which made the larg-
est yield and was easiest to remove from
the ground and handle to and from the
wagon was the Giant Yellow Inter
mediate. 1t grows well out of the
ground. The neck Of the largest man
gels of this variety were small enough
to be grasped and picked up convenient
ly with one hand. This is large saving
in time over the varieties which are so
large and round like a ball that they
must be fumbled to get good hold, or
possibly use two hands. The Mann
moth Long Red mangel is a good han
dler, but last season did not yield as
well as the Giant Yellow Intermediate.
Four varieties varied in yield from 16
to 25 tons to the acre.
Plant in rows from IS to 30 inches
apart, depending upon the man and
horse which must cultivate them. Sow
at the rate of six pounds to the acre.
A good stand of plants will permit cut
ting out with hoe all but bunch
every eight inches, then these should be
thinned with the hand leaving only the
strongest plant of the bunch. 1t is es-
pecially desirable that this thinning be
well done. Where two plants are left
together neither makes a good growth
in size or shape.
Care should be taken not to allow the
weeds to get started ahead of the man
gels. Keep the ground loose by means
of cultivation. A spike-tooth cultivator
or weeder works nicely. A chain drag
ging behind leaves the ground in very
nice conditional. Il. Van Norman, in
Farm and Freside.

wild canes may be seen to do in the
woods. Half the canes were bent each
way against a post and fastened with
bits of soft leather tackled to the post
as grapevines are fastened to Il build
ing. They were not fastened in close
bundle, but spread up and down the
post for a foot or more, as shown in
Fig. /. When the season was favorable
they would reach the ground and then
the tips could be layered if wanted.
In the spring the ends were cut back
far enough to prevent the fruits get
ting dirty, and nothing more was done
until after picking, when the old wood
was cut away and loosened from the
posts and the new wood fastened in
place, it having previously grown at
will A plantation kept in this way
had the rows snug and narrow until
nearly picking time, when the new
growth would sprawl somewhat, as
shown in Fig. 3 but as cultivation was
stopped during July this did not mat
ter. This probably would not pay for
the commercial grower, but for the
careful amateur would be both neat
and novel;. b. Pierce, in Ohio

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Give the young orchard good cult
walton until the tree comes into bear
ing.
In pruning the gooseberry and cur
rant prune to secure a spreading, open
head
Powdered hellebore, either dry or in
solution, is sure remedy for the cur
rant worm.
For all leaf-eaters the spray may he
used as soon as the first leaves appear
on the trees.
Newly set strawberry plants should
not be allowed to bear fruit; pinch off
the blossoms.
To propagate blackberries cut the
roots into pieces two or three inches
long and plant them.
There is no advantage in planting the
tender varieties of vegetables until all
danger of frost is past.
A little wood ashes around each
strawberry plant will help III securing
more and better fruit.
One of the best ways of destroying
weeds on the lawn is by cutting off close
and applying turpentine.
In nearly all cases it is best to leave
the mulch on the strawberry bed until
after the fruit has been harvested.
With blackberries and raspberries it
is good plan to give thorough cultiva-
ton during the early part of the season.
While clover cannot be eXcelled for
seeding down an orchard, it should not
be done until the trees are in bearing.
BY planting all small fruits in long
rows the work of giving clean cultiva-
ton can be done much more economic
ally.
Curled leaf in the peach is disease
of fungus character. 1t develops usu-
ally after a cold SPELL followed by
period of warm weather.
One good remedy for mildew on
gooseberries is to spray with potassium
sulphide at intervals of ten days or two
weeks during the season.-St. Louis Re-
public.

Dixon then ordered all aboard, and
they descended Il ladder into the boat
through II manhole in the top.
The cover was fastened from the in
/ side and the queer craft moved slowly
out into the harbor, only partly sub
merged. A shell dropped in the water
and exploded so near that the waves
from the disturbance nearly swamped
the boat, but she righted herself and
kept a straight course for the outer
bar.
The lIousatonic that night lay silent
and dark, as IL resting from her muir
derous labors Of the day.
A red light burned at her masthead,
nndan oflicer-Crosby-paced her decks
slowly and alone. He was watching the
red and blue signal rockets that rose
majestically high into the night from
the flagship of the squadron.
Presently he looked out over the bay,
and his attention settled on long,
low, black thing which came drifting
toward him over the ripping waves.
1t was like loose plank in the water.
lie watched it intently for few Sec
onds, then suddenly realizing the peril
OF his vessel, he ran at his utmost speed
for the pilot house, shouting at the top
Of his voice;
IA torpedo on the starboard! A tor
pedo on the starboard!"
He rang all hands on deck, and as
they tumbled out he gave frantic orders
to start the engines and back away.
They cut away the cables, the engines
began to throb, and the whole ship
trembled with the first motions Of get
ting under way.
She was too late. The few seconds
Crosby had spent in observation Of
"the plank cost him dearly.
Dixon and his strange craft had
closed in on him and struck the Housa-
tonic in the side, little forward of
the mainmast.
There was an explosion that was
heard far out in the harbor, and the
force threw the ship over on her side.
When she settled again the sea poured
into her through an immense hole that
had been knocked in her side.
In four minutes there were only
few spars protruding from the water
where the stately ship went down and
crowd of officers and men were cling
Ing in the rigging, freezing in the Feb
ruary night. They were rescued by
other ships of the fleet.
With the success of Dixon's expedi-
ton came, too, the finale he had ex-
pected. When the Housatonic sank the
pugnacious little boat went down with
her, locked fast in her broken timbers.
Years after, when they raised the
sodden hulk of the Housatonic from the
harbor, they found the bones of Dix
on and his comrades in the edgar boat"
and they threw them back into the
sea.-Atlanta Journal.

the wafer line, where she vacillated
like u stranded sea monster, tossed by
the moving tides.
There the Cigar boat" (she was UNI
named) was observed by George Dix
on, an officer of the Twenty-frst Ala
bama infantry, then engaged in the de-
Tense of Charleston.
Dixon had been casting about for
some plan by which the harbor might
be relieved of one or more of the block
aders. A careful inspection of the
abandoned boat convinced him that
she could be used in plan which he
favored. He was fully cognizant of
the grim record she had made for her
self and realized the extreme dangers
which lay in the execution of his plan,
but he determined to try it in the face
of all risks
Likewise with the six men to whom
Dixon unfoldcd his project. They knew
n fearful death for themselves was al
most certain in the event Of the sue
cess of the enterprise, yet they readily
agreed to accompany him as crew of
The boat.
1t was a deliberate sacrifice Of them
selves for the attainment of a desired
object. The men were Capt. Carlson
and Ridgewny, Becker, Wicks, Collins
and Simpliins,
At seven o'clock on the night of Feb
ruary II, in 1864, the party assembled
on the deck OF the once-abandoned but
now important boat. 1t was pictur-
csque situation. The darkness of the
night was dispelled by confagration
back in the city and by a calcium raft
which burned redly over against Fort
Sumter. Overhead a perfect network
of screaming and bursting shells made
apyrotechnic display, gigantic and fear
full, while the crash of the distant guns
was continuous.
The men were perfectly cool and de-
liberate in their movements. Dixon
gave his orders in calm manner, and
inspected each step of the proceedings
with the keen perception of an expert.
A sailor approached the group on the
docks, with a round, black object slung
over his shoulders. 1t was sea tor
pedO. This was taken rather tender
Nv by two of the men, who fixed it to
the end of spar which another of the
party had drawn out of the water with
a rope The free end of the spar was
then fixed to the nose of the boat. The
spar, being thus adjusted, was kind
of ram, which pointed straight ahead
of the boat and lay just under the wa
ter. with the deadly torpedo on the
outer and.

TWO VETERANS.
They Meet by Accident in n washing
ton Hotel and Review War
Experiences.

A few mornings ago tall, handsome
gentleman, with mustache and Laii
tinged with gray, walked through the
lobby of the Ebbitt and stopped in front
of the news stand. He was about to
pick up newspaper when Il little old
man with gray shaggy Burnsiders got
up from his seat in one corner of the
lobby and walked over to him.
Isn't this Gen. james Il. OBeirne? 2"
the little man asked.
81 am Gen. O'Beirne, sir" was the
reply, "and who are you, may ask?"
DO you remember Maj Bell, of New
York;"
do | remember him? Well, l have
cause to remember him. He saved my
life once"
well, am that person." said the
little man.
Tears came into the eyes of both as
they grasped each Others hands and
adjourned to convenient seat to talk
over old times.
AT the battle of Charlottesville
OBeirne, who was then colonel of the
Thirty-seventh New York regiment,
was shot through the breast by bull
let. 1t made hole clear through one
lung. Bell, who had been in the same
regiment, called to his assistance one
of his comrades and they carried him
off the field of battle.
O'Berne was sent to his home in New
York, and it was supposed that he could
rot live long. But under good nursing
he recovered and went back into the
union service again. At the TING of
President Lincoln's second inaugural
ton he was provost marshal in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
During the ceremonies on the east
side of the capitol, Bell who was i'll
Washington on n leave OF absence, de-
tected pickpocket pursuing his work
in the crowd. He called the attention
of "A policeman to the man. The police
man arrested the pickpocket and took
Bell along for witness.
The hearing was delayed for several
days, and in the meantime Bells leave
of absence expired. When he presented
the outlawed. ticket at the steamer
wharf he was placed under arrest for
having disobeyed the order. Bell tried
to explain, but the rules were fixed and
relentless.
The case was brought to the attention
of Gen. O'Beirne as provost marshal,
and as soon as he saw the name he had
Bell brought before him.
General, wish you would let me go,
as am anxious to join my regiment"
said Bell
You will be dealt with as a man
should be who has dared to disobey the
injunction ofhis commander" O'Beirne
replied, stcrnly,
He then issued new order extending
Bells leave of absence two weeks and
accompanied it with command that
he appear at his home in this city. Bell
visited the man whose life he had saved,
spent week and later joined his regi-
ment ,-Washinoton Star.

A DARING DEED.
-rhe sinking of the Yankee Warship

"Clgnr boat"

If we are approaching the romantic
ezra which certain writer's have been
trying 70 create, when literature and
the drama of the daring heroic type re-
ceive unstinted approval, we may look
for "A revival Of the stories of sublime
courage exhibited in the civil war.
or these tales few will more readily
appeal 10 the hero-worshiper than that
of Lieut.. Dixon and his comrades who
embarked in a crazy little boat on an
expedition against big Yankee man
o'-war in the siege OF Charleston.
The incident was daring in its con
ception, heroic in its execution and
tragic in its termination.
Charleston was cholScd off from the
sea by the strong hnnd Of the federal
blockade. Ten majestic battleshps lay
in the outer harbor, and by day and
might they rained storm of shot and
shell on the Notifications and defend
ers of the ancient city.
