cupant which gives motion to the bean
by its jerks and thumps against the side
of it's home. If the bean is slightly
warmed, it begins to turn from side to
side and perhaps, with a sudden jump,
turns completely over and stands on
one end, and then, by successive jumps,
moves quite a distance, says the Scien-
tific American.
Those who are not in the secret are
often greatly puzzled by this strange
bean. An enterprising ieweler devised
a scheme of utilizing them to make
magic clock. He accomplished this by
initiating the shape of two of the beans,
making the dummy beans out of soft
iron; one he gilded and the other ne
silvered. The prepared iron beans were
placed with the ordinary jumping beans
on a thin white piece of pasteboard,
outlined and numbered like the dial of
a clock, but devoid of the hands. This
dial was located over the works of
large clock which was placed face up
ward on the floor of the store window.
He fastened small magnets to the ends
of the hands. The works were of
course carefully hidden from view. All
that was in evidence was the cardboard
clock dial and the jumping beans,
among which were the gold and silver
painted iron beans. These were placed
on the cardboard over the concealed
hands with the magnets attached. The
magnets were moved by the hands of
the clock so that they were almost in
contact with the cardboard. As they
moved around they carried the iron
beans with them, thus telling the time
of day, and the public was greatly in
terested by the intelligence shown by
the two beans, which distinguished
them from their lively companions.

SPINE CURVATURE.
Wonders Have Been Performed with
New system Invented by
German Woman.

A radical cure has been found for
spine curvature. Instead of following
the old method of putting the patient
into the stiffest possible corsets or
braces, which actually weakened the
back still further instead of strength
ening it, the unfortunate boy or girl
who is rapidly becoming deformed ia
subjected to course of special gym
nastics which bring about remarkable
cures. \ framework is constructed so
that the patient, lying either with the
back on the curve, or away from it, can
exercise all of the muscles by using
the pullies which run in all directions,
eXerting pulls upon the distorted
frame in any way desired. The exercise
must be taken under the eye of the
physician and under his constant guild
ance, resulting in the course of a very
few weeks or months in the absolute
cure of the curvature.
But it is a woman who really origi-
mated the plan, and for the past few
years has wrought some astonishing
cures in Berlin. Nine. Catharine Weg-
ner has done wonders in this direc-
tion, and her methods have been adopt
ed by large number of specialists and
orthopedic hospitals the world over.
The cystem is so simple that the Won
der is that it was not invented years
ago. In fact, the apparatus in a modi-
fed form has long been in use in gym
nasiums, but there it was regarded
merely as a device for the exercise of
the straight and strong. That the
weakest of creatures, so weak that
their spine has begun to curve, should
be benefited in this natural way re-
NAMED for the adaptive intuition of q
woman to discover.

Low WAGON WITH RACK ABOVE.

tires for farm use. The front axle is
made eight inches shorter than the hind
one. Hind bolster nine inches wide
front one ten inches. The break is fas-
tened to the gear. The standards are
made of iron, projecting above bolster
six inches, and extending down through
same and taking a nut. The width of
body is 81 inches, almost foot wider
than ordinary beds. The front wheels
turn under the wagon bed, and by this
means you can turn round in a very
small space, as is often necessary to do
on the farm. The doubletree extends
out on either side even with the front
wheel, thus throwing your horses far
apart, and on the road they follow the
wagon track.
In addition to the regular wagon body
we take two scantling, 16 feet long, two
inches thick and six inches wide, and on
this we bolt on cross pieces (a), two at
each end, one on top and another on
bottom of rail, and then bolt one piece
in middle (b) on the under side of rail.
This makes good support for the floor,
and thus we have good rack for haul
ing all kinds of grain, grass or straw.
Outside this frame, between the rails
and hind wheels, we nail board (c)
about three feet long and Is inches wide,
to keep the hay or grain off of the wheel.
Or instead of board, a frame can be
made out of 1x3-inch Stats to answer
the same purpose. This rack is
also very convenient to haul threshed
wheat, potatoes, fertilizer or anything
that is in bags, and being low down is
easily loaded and unloaded. If farmer
tries this sort of an outfit once he will
not have any other. 1t costs little
more TO have wagon made in this style
than to buy one as usually found on the
market, but this additional cost is moth
ing compared with the great con-
venience found in using such wagon
for all purposes on the farm.-Orange
Judd Farmer.

as the strands grow if length, and
when he has gone as far as he deems
necessary he begins to wind up all the
cord that he has spun.
For the next operation 12 spools of
this cord and another machine are used.
The machine has 12 cranks at one end
and two at the other. When the strands
are laid, if the rope is to be long one,
supports are erected about so feet
apart. These are to keep the strands
from twisting and tangling as they are
spun about. Two men stand at the up
per end of the walk and face the man
who is turning the 10 strands. Each has
two cone-shaped pieces of wood in his
hands, and in these cones are six
grooves, through which the strands run.
The operator at the strand end turns
his wheel to the right and the men at
the other end reverse the operation.
The strands begin to twist and grow
smaller and harder, and at last the two
men with the cones start slowly toward
the strand man. If there are tangles
in front of them they separate the snarl
with their toes. In front are - strands.
Behind the advancing operators are
two. 1t is a slow walk from one end
to the other and it is hard work to keep
the strands whirling and the machinery
going until the two ropes are complete.
When all is done the finished object is
a rope the size of clothesline.
If larger rope is to be made, says
the Chicago Record, the operation is re-
peated with as many strands as de-
sired, according to the thickness of the
rope wanted. The process is the same,
but cones with larger grooves are used.
The rope may be made of any length.
In fact, as long as the hemp holds out
the operators can splice and splice in
definitely. The rope is rolled up in
great coils when it is finished for ship
ment and is then wrapped in coarse
cloth manufactured from the same
fiber.

COLD AND MICROBES.
Experiments Show That Disease
Germs Survive n Temperature
of 312 Below Zero.

Carefully conducted experiments,
made in the laboratories of the New
York department of health, have proved
that no obtainable degree of cold will
kill microbes.
1t is only lately that it has been pos
Bible to conduct such exhaustive and
convincing experiments as the ones
that have just been made by DR.. A.
Campbell White and Dr. Parks, for it
is only during the last few months
that it has been possible to secure such
an extreme of cold as 312 degrees be-
low zero. DR.. White makes this state
ment:
'In order to test whether extreme
cold would kill poisonous germs or mi
crobes l have been conducting expert
ments, which are, l think, conclusive.
AS a result, ! consider no degree of
cold that can be reached has power to
kill germs. L have kept the germs of
typhoid fever and diphtheria at tenn
perature of 312 degrees below zero for
hours together. After they thawed
they were as dangerous as ever. The
cold TO which these microbes were SUBJ
jected was 344 degrees below the point
at which water freezes. This extreme
cold was obtained by the use of liquid
air, in which the germs were placed.
another thing which the expert
ments have proved is that oxygen has
no killing effect upon microbes. Liq-
uid air, as it evaporates, is almost pure
oxygen. The conclusion to be drawn
from these experiments is that cold
has no deterrent effects upon germ dis
eases. We are as much in danger of in
fection brought to these shores in win
ter as in summer. In addition, it shows
that extreme care should be taken to
ascertain the origin of the ice used
in the household. AS soon as it melts
any dangerous germs it contains are
set free and are ready for evil"
Liquid air, the new wonder, was the
substance which made the experiments
possible. There is only one known
thing which is colder, and that is liquid
hydrogen, which is said to have a tenn
perature-or, rather, lack of temper
ature-of 44O degrees below zero. DR.
White, assisted by Prof. Tipler, is pre-
pairing to manufacture some liquid
hydrogen and will then submit disease
germs to that temperature. He says
that he feels sure it will not kill the
microbes

height in man and establishes three
categories: (D Tall races that meas
ure five feet seven inches and over.
This group includes the Patagonians,
West African negroes, some Polyne-

ELECTRIC FARM ROADS.
When the Population Is Dense Their
Construction Could Not Fail
to Prove Profitable.

The good roads problem is assuming
a new and interesting phase. The sue
cess of rural electric railways has led
some of our progressive farmers to
consider the practicability of a CO.
operative system of electric lines on
country roads for use in hauling both
passenger and freight traffic. Just at
this time, when steel and all the other
materials entering into railway con-
struction are so high, it may not be ad-
visable to enter extensively into a work
involving such heavy expenditure, but
in many sections of our great agricul-
tural states, where for long distances
roadways are lined with producing
farms which stretch back perhaps for
miles, and where the quantity of prod
ucts involves vast amount of expen-
sive transportation, made uncertain
through the influence of weather con-
ditions upon the roads-under such cir
cumstances there is no doubt but the
plan would prove entirely feasible,
while the effect upon the social life of
the farm would be immeasurably ad-
vantageous.
The proposition involves the con.
struction of a track at one side of the
roadway with switches and side tracks
and main trolley system. This main
system to be used by individual farm
ers at WILL employing each his own cars
as he now employs his wagons and bug
gies. Running from the main line to
each farm would be side track which
may be extended to barns, cribs and
bins to suit the wishes of the individ-
ual farmer. He could load his product
when he chose, selecting those times
when markets were most promising of
returns, or take his family to church or
institute, social gatherings OF shop
ping, with swtftness and ease, the only
thing to interfere, perhaps, being heavy
SHOWS.
The American farmer is studying the
economies of agriculture these days as
never before. He is becoming In very
truth business man" He is learning
what the railway man ana the manu-
facturer long ago learned through ne
cessity, that it is not ne first cost, but
the expense of operation that counts,
He knows that the present conditions of
roads make transportation the most ex-
pensive item n. his list. If the farmers
electric railway is to lessen that ex.
pense it is bound to come.--Farmers

A GOOD COOL ROOM.

in the illustration herewith. The cool
air shaft n comes down through ice
on right, and enters near floor of cool
room. The warm air shaft b opens into
cool room near ceiling and into a space
over ice and below loft floor at top
of ice chamber. The air current fall
ing through cold air shaft gathers
up moisture of cool room as it is
warmed up, carries it up warm air shaft
and deposits the moisture on the ice as
it passes, over it on it's way to cold air
shaft a. Dampers should be set in
shafts a and b and also in floor of loft
to regulate circulation and to carry off
any vapor which accumulates above ice
in the ice chamber.
The number of shafts and size will
depend upon the size of cool room,
quantity of ice and amount of produce
put into the cool room. 1t is a good
plan to have them large enough and
shut off the area, as required, by the
dampers. Flue should be water tight
and fiue if built outside should have
double walls to insulate from outside
heat.-Orange Judd Farmer.

az am very grateful to you for your
kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth more
to a woman than all the doctors IN tho
world. For years had female troubles
and did nothing for them. OF course
I became no better and finally broke
down entirely. My troubles began
with Inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then Inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and inflammation of ovaries.
81 underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permis-
sion to go back to work. went back,
but in less than week was COM
PEELED to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone felt the ef-
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia e
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and =
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the Doctors treat

MEXICAN BEAN CLOCK.
How nm EnterprisIng Jewe1er Con-
structed what Some Have Called
n Mngic Timepiece.

A few years ago public curiosity waN
excited by the curious beans called the
devil beans of Mexico" which shop.
keepers placed in their windows. They
somewhat resembled roasted coffee
beans in shape and color. They were
also known as the jumping beans"
owing to the fact that from time to
time they made spasmodic movements
which propelled them quite little dis
tance.
The beans grew on small bush in the
Mexican mountains and it is coniec-
tured that they belonged to the order
euphorbiaceae. The bean really con-
sisted of three similar pods which
formed single bean. 1t is usually a
third of the bean which was exhibited
as a curiosity. On opening the pods it
was found that it contained a small
larva, something like that frequently
found in chestnuts. 1t is this little oc-
