NEW WAY TO SCARE WOLVES.
Device Invented for the Protection
OF Sheep from Their Arch
Enemies

Examiners in the patent Office have
learned by experience that it is a
mistake to jump at conclusions re-
garding the usefulness of inventions.
A contrivance at which they were in
clincd to poke good deal Of fun,
designed to frighten wolves on west
ern prairies. was patented less than
three months ago, and already it has
come into considerable use in the
sheep growing districts of that part
of the country, according to the Sat-
urday Evening Post.
The device is an automatic gun,
which goes off at regular intervals,
soaring the wolves away from the
flocks. 1t consists of sort of box,
which contains a clockwork arrange
ment with small steel barrel pro-
jecting from one end. A magazine,
also within the box. is loaded with
blank cartridges which are fred by
the clockwork once in ten minutes
or so. BY the help of simple me-
chanical attachment the intervals be-
tween discharges are made as long
or as short as may be desired.
Wolves do not attack sheep in the
daytime, and the gun needs to be in
operation only from sunset to sunrise.
1t is at the period of lambing that the
nocks are in danger, the fierce wolves
raiding them and carrying off the
lambkins, and hence the apparatus
described is intended to be employed
exclusively during that season. II
may be that the wolf, which is de.
cidedly intelligent animal, may learn
the deception after awhile and realize
that the automatic gun has not mar
behind it.
Hitherto the protection of sheer
during the lambing season on many
ranches has been a serious problem
the focks being constantly harassed
Men armed with shotguns make reg
ular rounds at intervals during th'
night, discharging their weapons from
time to time-a troublesome plan
whereas it is comparatively easy fol

SUNBURN AND FRECKLES.
They Are Both Caused by Action Of
the Suns Rays and May De
Prevented.

Both of these affections are caused
by the action of the suns rays, but
why one person tans while another
freckles is not easy of explanation.
Both affections are said to be caused
chiefly by the chemical or ultraviolet
rays, but in the case of sunburn it Ia
probable that the heat also has some
effect.
The tan may come gradually, with.
out any burn, after a succession OF
slight and brief exposures to the sun
or to high winds, for wind will tan as
well as sunshine. Usually, however,
the city dweller gets well burned dur.
ing the first few days of his vacation
in the country or on the water.
In severe cases the skin is red,
slightly swollen and the seat of
sharp, burning sensation; il the ex.
posure has been prolonged, or the
glare of the sun very intense, it may
be even blistered. After a few days
the soreness and heat subsidies and
the red color gradually turns tc
brown.
II the burn is pretty severe, cooling
lotions, such as alcohol and water di.
luted cologne water, solution of bi.
carbonate of soda or lead water may
be applied, or the skin may bs
smeared with cold cream, camphoi
ice, zinc ointment, or mixture OF
lime water and oil. Some such appli.
cation as this, the sufferer being care.
full to keep out Of the sun for day
CT two, will usually suffice, says the
Boston Budget.
II blisters form they should be
pricked with a clean needle at the
most dependent part, and when the
water has drained away they should
be covered with cloth spread with
one of the greasy applications just
mentioned.
Freckles occur usually on persons
Of sandy complexion, especially
those with red hair. They are not
common in very young children, un.
der six or eight years OF age, or in
persons of middle or advanced life.
They usually come for the first time
in summer, and are less marked, OF
even disappear In winter. Persons
who freckle do not tan as rule.
Freckles, like sunburn, may be pre-
vented by the wearing Of veil, pref.
erably red or brown. Medical books
sometimes speak of removing freckles
by electricity or by touching each one
with drop of carbolic acid on glass
rod, but such severe remedies are
worse than the disease. The spots
will fade out more or less completely
in the winter and will disappear
wholly in time. In any case, they are
not particularly disfguring.

CATS EYES FOR CLOCKS.
Peculiar Method of Telling the Time
Used by the Chinese.

In China, travellers say. in districts
where clocks and watches are unknown.
If you ask a Chinaman the time of day

to ambuscade and capture the household
cat, and after pushing up the lids and
looking for a moment into its eyes he
VIII tell the time with astonishing ac-
curacy. The explanation is a simple
physiological one. The pupils of the eats
eyes constantly contract until midday,
when they become like a fine line. As
thin as. Il hair. drawn Perpendicular
across the eye; after u they begin again
to dilate
The Chinese have by no means a mo-
nopoly of the cat as a perambulatinc
umepiece. The negroes of Jamaica are
very well acquainted with the method Of
telling the time by looking at the effect of
the sun on pussy's eyes, and those who
twenty years ago were quite illiterate
and could not tell the time by a watch
used to resort TO this method for discov-
ering the time of day.

A few figures showing the immensely
of the wheat crop in the United States
and the cost OF producing it may be Of
interest. The harvesting machines
made and sold in one year would form n
solid procession from Chicago to New
York city, or would almost construct n
fence around England and Scotland. The
Irvine used in tying the bundles would
reach around the earth 500 times. and
the freight cars necessary TO haul it
would make a train fifty miles long. The
saving by the use Of machinery in each
year on American farms would more than
pay the national debt of Great Britain
