dieOlogfcaI Time.

An ingenious theory for the estima-
ton of the time of the various geo.
logical periods has been propoun6cd by
an engineer whose work on western
railroads takes him into primitive
country. He says that In one great de-
preston In Wyoming the trees have
been recording the rate of erosion of
the slopes for about 300 years so accu-
rately that the data to be obtained by
a careful study of them will be fac
tor of extreme importance in enabling
scientists to convert geological time
into years. While he has not yet had
time to collect those data properly. he
makes the rough deduction that. ac-
cording to their records the pllocene
and pleistocene periods would repre-
sent about 100000 years, and that,
ON this basis, the cenizoic time would
be about 100000 years. This would
mean that all geological time from the
beginning of the Cambrian epoch
would be 64.OOO.0 years.

Why do we have bows on the left
side of our hats? In olden times, when
men were much in the open air and
hats couldn't be bought for half a
dollar, 1t was the habit to tie cord
around the crown and let the ends fall
on the left side, to be grasped on the
arising of squall. They fell on the
left side so they might be grasped By
the left hand, the right usually being
more usefully engaged. Later on, the
ends got to be tied in a bow, and later
still, they became useless, yet the bow
has remained, and will probably re-
main till the next deluge, or something
of that sort.

Firing Big Guns.

The bigger the gun the shorter Its
life. Those monsters, the 10 ton guns.
cannot be reckoned upon TO fire more
than so full charge rounds without be-
coming quite useless. The 81 ton gun
can fire 105 rounds, while the o inch
breechloader is good for 400 or $50 full
charge rounds.
The reason of this is that the terrific
heat and corroding effect of the pow
der wear away the bore at the cham
Der end, and then the shell does not
catch the riflng.
There is nothing for 1t then but to
send the gun to the factory and have
the barrel bored and lined with a new
tube.
Eighty shots from 10 pound gun
would be good business In any war.
Where the Inconvenience arises is In
the fact that during peace the men
cannot practice as much as desirable.
Still there is a way out of 1t to a GER
tain extent, for II is found that a half
charge, which Is sufficient for prac-
tice, wears out a gun only one-fourth
as fast as q full charge, and even in a
way three-quarter charge is power
full enough.
Now a ITO ton gun, though 1t can fire
only so full charges, can fire 100 three
quarter charges and 800 half charges

COLOR PRINTING A HIGH ART

Process of Using Several Hues Stimuli
taneously Has Been Perfected.
In former times, and not many years
ago either, 1t was necessary when two
or more colors were desired In a piece
of printing that the sheets Of paper
should be run through the presses as
many times as there were colors to be
produced. Now the process has
changed. Herr Grossl, chief engineer
Of the Austrian bank. appears to have
been working In similar direction to
the work done in Russia by the Orloff
machine. He has apparently perfected
a machine for the simultaneous print
ing of colors from a single block by
clever adaptation of very old princi-
pie applied about century ago to the
printing Of multicolor work from In
taglio plates, and subsequently to the
production of so-called spectrum effects
in topographic printing. In former
cases the intagllo plate was filed In by
hand with the various colored inks,
while for the so-called spectrum print
ing from topographic forms the linking
was by the ordinary elastic rollers up
on which the various inks were placed
and blotted out
The machine of Herr Grossi depends
on the following principle. and must,
therefore, have some similarity to the
machine of Orloff. by which a CORE
bonding end is obtained. For eac

receives a charge Of suitable Ink In the
usual way; the impressions are taken
on one or more elastic rollers, which in
their turn transfer the colored impress.

markable one and suggests important

BREEDING ANGOLA GOATS.

II
rated In Several Southern States.
The raising of Angora goats Is an
Industry which may soon be establish
ed in the nearby State Of Sorth Caro-.
lima. \ tract of land was recently
purchased in Cumberland County by a
Northern man who proposes to breed
and keep such animals for the fine
yield of valuable fleece which they an.
nually produce.
III Texas Angora goats have been
cultivated for some years. and Farm
and Ranch, an agricultural paper pub
lished IN the Lone Star State. says
there are 10000 of the animals withlA
its borders, while nearly fifty tons OF
their fleece. commercially known as
mohair. was shipped last year from
Uyalde alone. 1t now sells at prices
ranging from % to 35 cents II pound
for average grades. while some OF the
very finest quality not yet marketed Is
expected to command 40 cents. MOI
only is the fleece of considerable value,
but the hides and flesh are also said
to be in active demand
Apparently there is an excellent OPP
portunity for many American farmers
In the raising Of Angora goats. Ii Is
asserted that these animals can be
kept at much less expense than sheep.
while their fleece is of far greater value
than wool. Ii requires dry climate
and short grass, while country OF
broken and hilly nature. with scrubby
tree growths. is well adapted TO its re-
quirements. The statement is also
made that breeding the Angora with
the common goat produces an animal
of greater size than the latter. while
the fleece is soon graded up TO a profit
yielding quality
Mohair, as is well known, is a long
and silky product which is employed in
the manufacture of many costly fab
rics. There are at present nearly 300
600 OF the pure Angoras in the United
States. but IL their value Is hereafter
generally appreciated by agrieulturists
there is no doubt that this number will
be largely increased. Animals which
are easier to raise than sheep aud
which at the same time yield greater
returns are sure to become more mum
erous on our farms wherever climatic
and other conditions are conducive to
their culture. Baltimore Herald.

A UNIQUE CEREMONY.
CIoucestes's Annual Funeral For
Her Lost Fishermen.

With each returning February there
Is held In the ancient wave dashed
town of Gloucester. Mass, a ceremony
solemn in motive, impressive In form
and absolutely unique In origin and
character 1t Is Gloucester's day OF
mourning for her sons who during the
preceding II months, have gone down
10 death ON the distant fishing grounds.
Headed by the clergy and commonalty
and by bereft relatives, the people or
the town march In long and slow pro-
cession TO the appointed place of meet
Ing, where, during the remainder of
the brief winters day, In chant and
prayer and formal addresses, the sor-
row in which all share finds fitting and
touching expression.
Everybody who lives In Gloucester Is
Interested In the fishing industry, and
SO 1t falls out that the city's life Is
about equally made up of intervals of
Joy and sorrow. When summer opens,
the general tone of public feeling is
bright and hopeful, but at the end OF
the season, as the fishers come iD, some
with flags at half mast, others bearing
fateful news, the whole town is de-
pressed.
All the residents show a concern in
the sailors who are lost and in the well
fare of their families. Even the citi-
zens of fortune In Gloucester, who
suffer no personal bereavement. have
been brought closely into touch with
the poor fishing families through re-
peated tragedies at sea. The scenes
in the fishing quarters during the late
fall and winter months. when news of
death Is brought by almost every re-
turning boat, are most pathetic. Some
times the news comes with shock; at
others, wives and children wait for
weeks in anxiety. and never know the
details of the fate of their loved ones
