Telegraph Polcs Often Grow.

An account was published recently.
ard commented on Mt that time by the
Sun, of growing telegraph poles IL
is not unusual for stakes or poles
planted green in the fa,l to sprout and
grow foliage the next spring. There
is fine instance of this In Queens.
town Creek. Queen Anne's County.
The intricate channel from Chester
River to the steamboat wharves at
chestnut and poplar stakes cut from
the woods and planted last fall Some
OF them budded and pat forth foliage
In the spring which is growing into
branches, and on II few of them bios.
SONS were noticed. AS 1t Is impossi-
bic for the stakes to root in the creek
mud this summer, growth will perish
with the season, never to retlrn.
Sometimes, but very seldons, stake
or pole cut from n tree and set into
the ground roots and makes another
tree. There is fine example of this
on Harmon X. Georges farm, Locust
Neck, in Talbot County. Some years
ago locust posts In the ground were
used in building post, cap and rail
fence. The end OF each post was
sharpened to go through the whole in
the cap. From one Of them n sprout
put out below the cap. The sprout
became twig, the twig n branch.
which became a limb, and has grown
into large, outrageous locust tree.
OF the post in the ground. A tree can
be grown from the twig Of almost any
kind of poplar except the Lombar'ly.
lii rail and rider fences the riders
planted in the ground green are often
seen TO bear leaves, but very seldom
ever live long.--Baltlmore Sun.

Nuts ns an Article of Food.

Nuts, which not so long ago were re-.
gardcd as the special property of SOUR.
rcls and small boys, are coming TO be
considered more and more as essential
articles of staple diet. AS a result, the
nut production of this country is in.
creasing. The almond Is useful not
only as part of the nut and fruit
course, but can be added with advan.
tage to any apple or fruit mixture,
either cooked or raw. "Bettys," Char.
lottes, turnOyers and even pics and
sauce are often improved by the pow.
dered nut. For inyallds to whom
sugar Is barred almond meals or
pastes form an important addition to
the bin OF fare. These preparations
are made into breads, biscuits. crack.
ers, blanc mango, etc.
The peanut is valued for it's nourish.
Ing properties, containing as 1t does
more heterogeneous matter than meat
or eggs. Freed from It's oil and
ground, it is used for bread, or with
the oil becomes useful as q butter. Pc,
cans, almonds and walnuts are used
largely for confections.

HOW THE EYE is DECEIVED.
Electric Fans Motion Overcomes That oi
Anothor--Scems to Reyolye Slowly.


Anothor--seems TO Revolve Slowly.
A remarkable optical Illusion may he
seen In the United States Census Office
In Washington, and to the person wit.
Messing 1t for the first time IL is unex
plaInable and most puzZling.
In the east end of the great building
are two electric ventilating fans; they
are placed in the walls of the north
and south sides near the ceiling; they
are about two feet in diameter and
revOlye at the rate OF about 5000 revo,
lutions a minute in opposite directions
as they face each other, thus carrying
the heated air from the room and
permitting fresh to enter at the sever
Ill entrances.
Being in direct line with each 9th
cr, one can look from and through the
rapid revolving fan at the south end
to the one at the north, and it is this
view that gives the Illusion, for the
fan fartbest away seems TO be travel
ing ut the rate of only IA few rcvolu
tions a minute, while the nearest one
Is whlrlng SO rapidly that 1t Is impos
sible to follow it with the eye.
BY moving the head In n circular
path from right to left the farthest fan
seems TO stand still, but 1t also seems
TO have double the number OF blades
that are known to be there.
The effect is altered If the motion of
the head is reversed, for then the far
fan seems to have doubled the orig.
inal motion, and by moving the head
In different directions the blades dance
around in most uncanny fashion.
The weird effect is still moro
heightened when one looks through
the aperture between The edges of the
near fan and the wall in which il Is
set. FOR from this viewpoint it is at
once seen that the fan Is travelling as
fast as the near one.
The explanation is simple. The fans
are travelling in opposite directions,
and the motion of the near one over.
comes that of the far one. Were they
travelling the opposite direction in the
walls their motion would be syncll.
ronOus and no illusion would be appnr.
only half as fast as the far one the lat.
ter would appear to revolye only half
as fast at IL really does. but being
on the same circuit, and travelling ut
the same relative rate OF spGed, the
explanation given is the true one.
Thousands of persons have wit
messed the Illusion, yet not one has
offered thus far an explanation, and
so complete Is the deception that there
are few who notice it at all unless
their attention Is called to it, when
they realize that the fans are both
going at like rates of speed \ slow
motion would be OF no avail to draw
out the vitiated mir of the great room,
and n glance at the far fan through
the aperture mentioned will instantly
convince one Of the tremendous speed
of both.--Philadelphia Press.

crowned by q sheer cliff Of bare rocks.
which slopes TO point like the nose
Of some mOnstrous animal. On the
back of this rocky spud is the serpent
itself, opening its huge jaws as If to
swallow the great hollow oval or egg
before 1t. The body winds In broad,
graceful curves down TO the colled tail
at the end.
II seems to be generally agreed by
archaeologists that the mound was
erected for ceremonial and symbolic
purposes, and was not connected with
the idea of sepulture. In the centre
Of the egg-shaped oval is heap of
stones showing the effect of fire. This
altar Qf such IL is) was once much
larger than now, having been broken
up some sixty years ago In some search
for buried treasure. The oval is 16i
feet long by eighty feet wide. and
about four feet high. From the end
of the oval TO the tip of the tail is a
distance of 496 feet In an air line, but
134S feet If measured from the end Of
the oval to the neck OF the serpent and
then along the conyolutlons of the
body. From the tip Of the upper jaw
to the end of the tail the serpent IT,.
self measures 1854 feet. The average
width of the body is about twenty feet
and Its height along the head and
body from four to five feet.
The Peabody Museum in Cambridge
retains n memorial of its now termin.
ated connection with this great monu
mcnt of the past in the shape of very
beautifully executed model of the park
which 1t formerly owned. done by
Wards natural science establishment
in Rochester N. Y. under the super
vision Of Professor Putnam from sur.
yeys by G. Cowen. II measures six feel
six inch by four feet eight inches
The contour of the land is shown most
interestingly in green, with It's forestA
and cliffs and cultivated land and
Brush Creek flowing through the
whole. A duplicate of this model has
also been procured for the Flcld Co.
lumblan Museum in Chlcago.--Chlcago
