are 40 degrees each. Both the shape
and arrangement Of the cushions are
important features, because a differ

ment is provided in connection with
this cushion, so that the pressure may

Inconvenience or injury in any kind of

as a preventive Of the analogous feel

Nfusse1a After Crabs.

Mussels have always been recognized
as the enemy of oysters, but the crab
has been supposed to be altogether too
lively for almost motionless bivalves.
1t now appears that the scarcity of
crabs may be largely due to the great
number of mussels in the bay. A sea
crab was found recently with string
at least six inches long of young mus
sells attached to him. The crab was
still alive and tried desperately to get
away, but was firmly anchored by the
mussels. They were about the size of
a pea, and it was estimated that there
were several hundred Of them in the
bunch. Bay men are inclined to attrib-
ute the scarcity of crabs to anchor ice
which settles on the bottom Of the
channels over the crabs during the
time when they are alternating in the
mud and smOthers them, but the dis
cOvery Of the mussels on crab raises
the question as to whether the mussels
are not helping to exterminate the
lively crustacean.-Forest and Stream.

City Officials Spend a Day With the
Officials of Our NeighbOring
City, Racine.
INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS

Enroute to the Belle City the Sleigh Tips
over and the Dignifed officials are
Forced to Burrow in Snow Bank
Bowling Game Between Racine and Keno
sha Aldermen (Unof1cially Reported
Results in a TIE
From all reports that trip the city
officials made to Racine yesterday was
one of the widest, woo11iest things
that has happened in Kenosha for
many day. It is reported this morn
ing that one of the horses which pulled
the sleigh is dead and only few of the
aldermen have been seen on the street.
All are communicative, from the
Mayor down to Sergeant Newhouse,
(who went along with the party as
chaperone.) The trip was one chain
of incidents and accidents from the
time the sleigh left Kenosha until the
officials returned on the electric cars.
When the sleigh load reached the
corner near the cabbage store-house
the first incident of the trip occurred.
Alderman O'Brien, Sergeant New
house, and a couple of other heavy
weights had managed to get on one
side of the sleigh and when the driver
attempted to turn corner this side
was all too heavy and as result the
entire mass Of aldermen, mayor and
officials were thrown into a neighbor-
ing snow bank. Luckily none of them
were hurt as the heavyweights, with
their usual consideration for their
fellow citizens, threw their manly
forms into the snow, forming pillows
for the others to fall on. Alderman
Smith and Mayor German got mixed
up to such an extent that the mayor
got his shoes in the alderman's chest
but this little matter was arranged
without much trouble. The recording
photograph at the rear end of the
sleigh was stopped by the accident and
consequently there is no record of the
language used by the officials.
On arriving in Racine the officials
made the round of that village and
let the people know that Southport had
broken loose again. They ended ur
at the city hall and had a jolly reunion
with Mayor Higgins and the rest OF
the gang of defeated bow1ers. OF
course a game at bowls was at once
suggested and the Racineites 1ured the
Kenoshans down to their own practice
ga1leys. The Kenosha men were
worsted, of course, but no official &C,
count of the game has been given out
The best account that could be OBJ
tanned came from Alderman Sershon
who declared that the game was about
even up.
Some of the city fathers returned
on the FIVE O'Clock car but the others
remained, as the guests of the Racine
officials, for the polo game in the even
ing, and returned this morning.

TIE propagation of forest trees Ell
Their for decorative plants, windbreaks
or forests is a comparatively slow
process, according to bulletin SO Of the
Virginia experiment station. The hor-
ticulturists of that station have been
making extended tests along these
lines and find that the seeds of such
trees as the silver maple and other
species which ripen seed early should
be gathered and sown at once. They
can be planted in the same manner
and grow as rapidly as peas. Seeds
which ripen late in the fall should
be sown in autumn and then taken up
and planted in spring. Nuts like wal
nuts can be planted several bushels in
a heap and then taken up and planted
in rows in spring with perfect sue
cess. 1t is usually practical to plant
nut seeds where the trees are to stand
if nothing interferes with their growth
thereafter On rich soil they grow
with great rapidity.
All forest tree seedlings should be
grown on a mellow soil, SO as to en-
courage the development of strong root
systems. They should be transplant
ed into nursery rows at the end of
the first or second year. Slow grow
ing plants like oaks should remain two
years in seeding beds, while the more
rapid growing varieties should be
planted when only year old. Most
forest trees Go best when set out from
five to eight feet tall. The tulip pop
lar tree does very we'll if not permit
ted to stand in the nursery too long.
At the end of the first year it should
be transplanted to it's permanent To-
cation. The following list of trees are
grown with comparative ease from
seed: Black walnut, bur oak, hack
berry, honey locust, box elder, green
ash and pecan.

Nut Culture.

The culture of the pistache nut is
likely to prove of very considerable
value in California, Arizona and New
Mexico. With the exception Of the
home consumed product of a few iso-
lated trees the entire quantity now
used in this country is imported, and
it's use is limited almost exclusively
to ice cream and confection flavoring,
says The Scientific American. Along
the Mediterranean, where the choicest
walnuts and almonds are raised, the
pistache is considered the very best
of all nuts for table use. 1t is very
nutritious and fattening and of de-
licious flavor of its own and should

Proportion of SCOT In Town Air.

In lecture at Leeds. England, Or.
Cohen said 100000 of the English
people are jewellers in large towns. In
Leeds 20 tons of SCOT are sent daily in
to the air, and about half of that comes
down again into the town. SCOT is not
all pure carbon, but Is per cent of it is
thick oil, which makes it stick to ev-
erything it comes in contact with. DR..
Cohen found that three-quarters of the
deposit collected on glass plates which
he exposed consisted Of SCOT. In some
parts Of Leeds the smoke normally OBJ
scures about one-fourth Of the total
daylight. Yet the Leeds corporation
has bylaw limiting the emissions of
black smoke from boiler chimneys 10

SUGAR AS FOOD.
Professor PfuhI of Germany Makes
Interesting Experiments.

Professor PfuhI of Germany Makes
Interesting Experiments.
Germany has just completed elabo-
rate experiments in sugar as food for
troops. The object was to test sugar
diet in cases where great exertions
were made within brief period. Ac-
cording to reports, the experiments
with the various army corps resulted
favorably.
Professor Pfuhl, head of the physio-
logical laboratory of the army, states
that it proved that sugar diet in
creases the muscular power in COM
paratively short time, considerably
shorter than the white of an egg, the
effect of which, however, is more last
ing, though sugar has the advantage Of
being much cheaper. The extraordi-
nary rapidity with which sugar is alb
sorbed by the body explains it's rapid
effect on the nervous system, which is
of the greatest Importance in cases
where bodily recuperation is desired,
as in long distance marching.
Professor Pfuhl, in experimenting
upon himself, found that after long
walks three or four Jumps of sugar re-
moved all feelings of lassitude and to
q certain extent restored the elasticity
of his muscles, this effect being fire.
quently produced in a quarter Of an
hour. He is of the opinion that artifi-
ciaI substitutes for sugar will not have
the same effect. Professors Senator
and Muik of the Berlin university have
come to the conclusion that sugar has
a high nutritive value as the purest
and most easily soluble hydrate of car
bon A certain minimum of albumen,
differing according to individual cases,
must be supplied in any circumstances
and cannot be replaced by sugar, but
sugar as food for people is very valu-
able both on account of the cheapness
and ease with which it is manufacture

Long Range Rifle Shooting.

In the current number of The Nine
teenth Century Mr.. Baillie- Grohman
says British rifle shooting suffers by
the Britons' preference for long range
shooting. He points to the defeat of
the English team at the recent inter-
national rife match in Holland. Out
Of eight competing teams Britain was
fourth in the prone position. fourth in
the kneeling position and a bad eighth
in shoulder shooting, thus receiving the
seventh place III the aggregate. This is
due, he thinks, to the British neglect
Of shoulder shooting and shooting at
short ranges. He contends that the
British long distance shooting borders
perilously near upon fancy work" He
advocates the formation of rife clubs
on the analogy of local football and
cricket clubs.

! Cure For Sea6iCkne56
o BELT Said to Protect the Sensi-
< tive Nerve Center.
Sx%*~*~*~*AxA*%*%#A*Ax%x%4

Carlo Calliano, doctor and surgeon,
subject of the king Of Italy, claims
that, after long study and numerous
experiments, he has discovered that
seasickness is a reflex phenomenon due
to the acute stimulation of one of the
nervous centers, located deeply under
the epigastric region. Properly di-
rected pressure upon this nervous cen
ter, he asserts, twill prevent or cure
seasickness." To this end he has pat
termed a belt Of elastic fabric, provid-
ed with an inflated cushion of TRAN
gular shape, the internal side Of which
conforms to the shape of the anatomic
organization of the gastric region.
When this belt is worn, it presses the
cushion against the body, "arresting
Independent movement of the organs
and exerting a gradual pressure upon
the celiac plexus," the nervous center
