rrinldad,s Wonderful Lake.

Recent descriptions of the great lake of liquid asphaltum, or bitumen, in the island of Trinidad, show that not withstanding the enormous quantity Of the substance removed every year. ths supply is undiminished. The lake coT- CTS about 100 aces, and is higher in the middle than at the edges. Near the center the black pitch is semi liquid, but toward the sides a crust, in- tersected with Assures, covers the sur face, and on this crust man can walk. although when he stands for a time the crust gradually sinks around htm. forming a kind of basin some yards across. Between 8O.000 and 9O,O00 toha of asphaltum are removed from the lake annually.

A Canadian Coal Field.

The Rev. John McDougald of Mor- ley, Alta, writes to the Family Her. aid and Weekly Star: Tn your issue of Jan. 31, under Facts and Figures, there is an item entitled, The largest coal field in the world This is said to be in Human, China, and has an area of 21,700 miles. Now, sir, we have in Alberta coal field which is 800 miles long and 150 miles wide, which makes an area of 75,OO0 square miles-more than three times larger than that of Human"

NEW NOSE
Made for Little Giri by Ptocs of
 skIlIfuI Surgery.

Milwaukee special Chicago Chroni- ele: TwelYe-year-old Ella Bruek will come from St. Josephs hospital with an entirely new nose, with which she can sniff as daintily as she could be- fore the accident which temporarily deprived her entirely of her nasal or gan. The operation. which was en- tirely successful, was performed by Dr. Levings, with the assistance of the hospital physicians. The doctors say that it was a most remarkable opera tion and that they do not know of an exactly similar one ever performed in this country or elsewhere.
 las accident was a fall, which
 Hmped her nose so severely that it lisappeared entirely, leaving a depres- sion where the nose should be. The child suffered so much torture that her father, who is doctor, decided it would be feasible to attempt to build for the child an entirely new nose from her own flesh, skin and bone.
 At the hospital flap in the shape of an inverted heart three and a half inches long and two inches wide was cut out of the center of the child's forehead, being joined to it only at the tip of the flap. The external layer of bone. together with the skin and flesh, was removed and then the en- tire flap was twisted around so that it hung over the noseIess place, but was still attached to the forehead. The bony part Of the portion removed was detached in broken bits. The bits ss bone grew together and gave it firm ness and finally it was most pre- sentable nose. The center of tha pa tients upper lip was cut out and turn ed up in order to form the partition between the nostrils. The patient has now left the hospital with as perfect a nose as that of any of her compan- Ions.

CHEAP WAY OF MAKING ICE
Man Fills His Ieehouse at the Cost of 3
 Cents a Ton.

Man Fills Ills Ieehouse at the Cost of
 Cents Ton.
 An interesting and novel process of producing ice by natural methods has been put in operation in this town by a resident. A ..ear ago he had a build ing specially constructed for his use The experiment house is unique. 1t has no windows, but is four square. with a door in each side. The owner says he can make ice faster in a house with doors at the corners rather thah In the middle of the sides; still this one does the business. Inside the house is what might be termed another house-a crate-Water-tight and built so as to avoid rigidity of angles, and to allow of the expansion of the wa ter in freezing. The expansion is one twelfth, so the space to be left between the sides of the crate and of the house proper is easily determined. In the early days of experiments more than one house was smashed by the bulging proDensities of freezing water.
 At one end of the house is a stand pipe from the main of the Claremont water works. The water is spring wa ter, but an application is made of elec- trieity to still further purify it as it stands in tanks after being drawn from the source of supply. It rushes first through a rubber tube to tank sixty feet from the main and on the second floor of the building. Another tube, sixty feet long, takes it to a second tank. 4 third lets it run to floor of the crate. As it runs out it moves slowly and more slowly, like clear, cold, crystalline molasses-still more slewiy-and stops, frozen. The ice builds upon itself in the crate-forming anchor ice, not top film, and the end is crate Of pure. solid ice of such color as no ona ever saw who has been limped to ice cut from ordinary ponds and rivers. The tubes are arrange1 with respect to the openings in the building so as to get the maximum amount of cold wind blowing on them. One days experiment illustrates the process of freezing. The water in the standpipe was at 45 degrees. It was eighteen minutes passing through the tubes, and it's temperature as it issued upon the floor of the crate was 30 de- grees, or two degrees below freezing, and total reduction of fifteen degrees. The out-of-door temperature was at about freezing. If anyone visits the experiment house today the owner will show him a crate full of ice-one solid block of about 300 tons weight. The erection of houses of the type required is easily accomplished anywhere, and the ice can be manufactured at a cost of about five cents a ton.-Boston Her ald.

FLORIDA OWLS.
Young Birds of Different Ages Found
 In One Nest.

l
 Ia One Nest.
 Early in April of last year the cap tain of the steamer Roseada. plying or the Kissimmee river reported the dis eoyery of a white owls nest, which was in hole of a leaning dead cab bage palm oyernanging the river, says Forest and Stream. Twice a week on his trip up and down he watched the l growth of the birds. until he consd- cred them old enough to move. He then transferred them from the nest to box. under serious protest from the parent birds. The birds proved to be speeiments of the barn owl, and great was the surprise to see the three owls of three different sizes and evidently considerable differences in their ages. From inquiry it is learned that these birds, after matching the first egg, lay another, whose matching is left to be done by the young bird while it feath- CTS, thus explaining why the birds in the different stages Of development were found in the same nest and ex- pidlulAS. IOO4 tue IES ES9OhSiDllllJ blldA the oldest bird seemed to have o5er the younger ones-much as the older child watches over the younger ones of a family The oldest owl was al most matured-in full feather-Its large black eyes, almost human in ex- pression, being well set off by the snow-white face The plumage on the back was a golden brown, the rest of l the body streaked with white The second bird in size was an ashy. dull white; he was covered with down the down on his face giving him a vicious xpression-entirely different from the oldest bird The baby Of the nest was scarcely half the size of the oldest bird had a sharp, narrow and 1 long face. with weazened, monkeylike expression, but he was snow-white, looking like a ball of wool. He eud- died under the larger birds and at i feeding time was the most rayenOus 1 eater of the crowd. All day long 1 these three little owls quietly sat, making no sound except when ap- preached when sharp snapping of l their beaks announced that they wished no fntruders. TO turn them out i of their box in daytime meant a quick return to it. They were turned out one day for visitor to admire, and the box removed, when they quietly sought refuge under the folds Of her dress skirt. At night they were in their element when turned loose; they walked around. Tapped their wings, would come up and take food from the hand and drink water from a spoon placed between their beaks with as much ease as a person possibly could. After eating to their satisfae- Lion they would return to the box and there sit for an hour, peering out swaying their bodies backward and forward. as if rocking themselves to sleep. The pleasure and the study de rived from observing these young owls scarcely compensated for the sorrow caused around the old palm tree. For several trips, as the Roseada passed up and down the river. the old owls fol- lowed the boat. darting at it and cry ing for the loss of their young, their mournful tones coming to the crew on the still nights like some haunting spirit.

Heating Poultry Houses.

Heating Poultry Houses.
 Recently we clipped the following paragraph from a paper published in the northwest:
 The North Dakota station is one of the few agricultural experimental sta tions that has a poultry department. in charge of an expert chicken crank. They began a series of experiments. to determine, if possible. what effect, if any, heating the poultry house would have upon the production of eggs and the food requirements. On December 1 they put forty-stx chickens. includ- ing several varieties of birds, into the poultry house. January 20 a large stove was put into the house and fire started with Ignite coal. On Janu-s ary 31 the feed had decreased to six pounds in the morning and eight and three-fourths in the evening. The last of March four and half pounds morning and four and three-fourths evenings. The total amount of fuel burned from January 20 to April costs $450. During the month of Jan uary previous to the use of the stove the average number of eggs day was two and tbree-fourths, the remainder of the month from the 2l5t to the ehN 1t was six and three -elevenths, show ing the influence that heat exerted upon the production of eggs. The question naturally arises, can lar mer under the conditions existing on the ordinary farm afford to take care of his poultry by furnishing artificial heat? An examination of the figures shows that but half the food Is con sumed and that the egg production is more than doubled. With eggs worth 25c a dozen at that season of the year and food at the ordinary prices, It should seem that it would not only be economy to heat the poultry house, but would be a source of great proat, especially after arrangements had once been completed so that it would re- quire but little extra work.
 If there ever was a, more pointlass experiment than this we would like to know about It. This comparison IS made with two periods of laying, one from December 1 to goth of January, and the other one from the 20th ot January, when the stove was put in, lip to the last of April. The conclusions drawn that all of the extra eggs are due to artificial heat is an absurdity. Every poultryman knows that all through this section of the country few eggs are received in the period from the 1st of December to the goth of Jan uary. while about that time laying commences, in spite of cold weather, and continues except in periods of great cold. The only fair test would be to take two lots of poultry and keep them through the entire winter under respective conditions of artificial heat and no artificial heat The conclusion that heating by stoves will pay largely is not to be accepted without further proof. It certainly will not pay in the latitude of Illinois. In She extreme regions of Dakota and Minnesota, it might pay, but that remains to bs demonstrated.
