Fog Signals in London.

In meeting the necessities created
by the dense and continuous fogs Of
London, the various companies en-
gagged in furnishing the small but i'm
portant fog signals are an active fea-
ture. In exigent weather conditions,
even the smaller Of the various COM
panles running through the great
city's suburbs have sometimes to issue
a hundred gross a day of these sig
nails, while larger onesswill use double
that number. This device is extremely
simple, consisting of a pinch of gun
powder and three percussion caps in
closed in three small metal cases. one
within the other, and each closed up
with white lead; while in the inner
most case are three nipples on which
the percussion caps are fitted, the
powder being placed around them.
The complete thing is about the size
of a large watch and has appended to
it two strips of lead, which are simply
bent round the fange of the rail, thus
holding the fog signal in position on
the top. AS these little machines are
substitutes for semaphores and lamps
it is, Of course, a matter of utmost
Importance that they shall not fail.
1t is for this reason that there are
three percussion caps and three cases
one inside the other, 30 as to exclude

Short and broad oval shoes, and they

thlckets, for there the caribou leads.
Ihe deep snow covers up the small
evergreen bushes, but they resist it
somewhat, leaving a soft spot, which
the hunter is constantly falling into
with fatal noise. If he runs against a
tree, down comes an avalanche of
snow, which sounds like thunder in
the quiet.

right mitten to keep them ice-clear
by warming with the bare hand. The
snow-shoeing was difficult and fatigu-
ing to the utmost, as mile after mile
we wound along after those vagrant
caribou. We found a small pond
where they had paved for water, and
it had not yet frozen after their drink.
Now is the time when the hunter
feels the thrill which is the pleasure
of the sport.
Down the sides of the pond led the
trail, then twisting and turning, it en-
tered the woods and wound up a little
hill. Old man Larette fumbled the
snow with his bare hand, he lifted to-
ward us some unfrozen spoor-good,
cheerful old soul, his eyes were those
of a panther. Now We set our shoes
ever so carefully, pressing them down
slowly, and shifting our weight eau
tiously lest the footing be false. The
two hunters crouched in the snow,
pointing. I cooked my rife; one
sunk slowly under me-
the snow was treacherous-and three
dark objects fitted like birds past the
only opening in the forest, seventy

Putting Straw With Cornstalks.

Farmers who are putting into the
barn or stack cornstalks which are too
damp to keep we'll can insure safety
by occasionally throwing a forkful Of
dry grain straw in the middle Of the
stack or NOV. This will absorb some
of the moisture and prevent the stalks
from heating to excess. We always
liked to have the cornstalks go
through enough fermentation to soften
them, and if put up while there is
still some sweet sap in the stalk, they
will do it. The cattle eat them more
readily, and they are also more nutri-
tious. In q severe, cold winter, when
cornstalks have been repeatedly froz-
en-, all the juices are dried out of them
and they are very poor feed for any
kind Of stock.

Last of the Boston Tea PARTY.

The last private house that was di-
rectly connected with the episode of
the Boston tea party in the great
strugglefor liberty has been torn down
to make room for a business block.
The old Bradlee house, for as such was
it known, has stood at the corner of
fremont and Hollis streets for 1877
years, and the land, which, when the
building was built, vas part of a pas
ture. is today worth 800, 600.
The house was one of the mostinter-
esting historic landmarks in Boston.
In its wide old kitchen the ~ringleaders
of the Boston tea party disguised
themselves as Indians on the evening
of Dec. IS, 1918, before going to the
wharf where the cargo of tea was
thrown into the waters of the harbor.
The old South church and Faneuil
hall are the only two buildings now
left that sheltered the patriots on that
eventful day.
Although built in 1771, the house
was strong enough to stand together
another 100 years, and it would
doubtless have been left as a land
mark were it not for the city's growth
around it. The land comprised in its
site and the yard have risen so much
in value that a building productive Of
proportionate revenue must be put
up to meet the increase in taxes. It
was owned by the. Doggett family, who
were descendants of Elizabeth Bradlee,

more specialized: food than their sue
cessful compser, elephas Indicus. These
are the rhinocereses Of India and OF
the Trnns-Gangetic peninsula and the
white and black species Of southern

added the hippopotamus protected by
a fortunate adaptation to aquatic life,
to which the great rivers of Africa af-
ford unrivaled chances Of survival. All
these giant beasts. except tho elephant,

rhinoceroses in their wild condition
have died out almost in proportion to
their stupidity is obvious from the case
OF the South African species. The
white rhinoceros, now believed to be-
extinct, was, after the elephant, the
largest Of land mammals and almost
the dullest. 1t was sleepy, short
and stupid. Hunters shot it,
as It lay. before it was awake. The
black rhinoceros, while equally stupid.
Is a more vigilant animal, with quicker
hence its partial survival. The
Indian ~rhinoceros is a duller creature
than the smaller species found in the
settlements and the south OF
the trans-Gangetic peninsula, and it is
certainly far rarer, though this may
be due to an originally circumscribed
habitat, az well a. to its sluggish
