Weads That Arc Useful.

Weeds are sometimes useful because
they occupy the land and shade it IN
the summer and cover it in winter.
The term "weeds'' may apply to any
kind of plants. Even when two plants
of the same kind are growing side by
side one is weed if it interferes with
the growth of the other. Some OF the
most snowy flower plants become
weeds if they escape from their proper
place A rose is weed if found in
cornfield, and one of the prettiest OF
flowers-the daisy-has become gen.
eral weed and nuisance.

Success on the Farm.

Farming is business, and every
farmer is in condition not only with
his neighbor, but with farmers in all
countries. When there is a surplus
of any crop the price falls, and each
buyer then selects the best and re-
iects the inferior. The farmer must
grow larger and better crops in order
to meet competition in his line. To
do so he must use the latest improved
implements, and be willing to invest
in chemical fertilizers, so as to reduce
the cost of production. The man with
the best tools and implements will al
ways go ahead of him who depends
solely on hand labor.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The highest inhabited hut in the
SWISS Alps lies at an altitude of 2660
meters, on the Alpe de Iona in Wallis.
Grain grows up to an altitude of 2075
meters. In the Himalayas and in Thi-
bet there are habitations at attitudes
up to almost 5000 meters.
1t is much-mooted question among
entomogolists whether or not mosqui-
toes can breed in mud. DR.. Howard's
experiments and Investigations tend
to show that the larvae will live in
wet mud for some little time and
that they will even transform after
water has been added. In no case
were larvae revived after the water
had been drawn off for more than 4S
hours.
A petroleum spray is used on the
Missouri Pacific line for lighting the
fires of locomotives. The reservoir for
the oil is mounted on wheels. Com

In using the apparatus, the bed OF
coal is first placed on the crate, and
then the jet spray is ignited and
directed on to the coal, being moved
over the surface until the whole is
ignited. which usually requires about
10 minutes.
AS is well known, some metals are
unsuitable for casting, while others,
like iron. can readily be cast in any
desired shape. The property Of cast
ing well is said to depend upon wheth-
er the metal contracts or expands on
solidifying from the liquid form. Iron,
like water, expands in solidifying, and
hence the solid metal may be seen
floating in the liquid iron about it,
The expansion causes it to fill the die
into which it is poured, and so it can
be cast easily. Gold and silver con-
tract in cooling, and therefore are not
suitable for casting.
A new telephone fire-alarm system
has just been patented, the whole
system being operated by magnetic
currents and dry batteries. After the
system is once installed the only thing
to get out of order is the burning out
occasionally of fuse, which may be
quickly repaired. A separate wire is
used for each fire district and any
number of telephones may be con-
nected with any district wire. BY
means of this system every house and
factory along thp line of the wires
can be connected with the alarm wire,
and thus protection may be had at
low cost. The wires can also be used
to connect with the longdistance tele-
phone for other uses.
The large amount of heat generated
by aluminium in taking up oxygen
from an oxide has attracted attention
to the fact that this property might
be used advantageously, with the re-
suit that it's metallurgical services
have been used in the welding of rails
where it is desired to obtain an electri-
cal connection. For this purpose
crucible is used. containing aluminium
are placed in this and when properly
adjusted the charge is ignited. Ac-
cording to the American Machinist,
the heat produced is sufficient to make
an excellent weld, especially as the
expansion of the rails, due to the heat,
causes the ends to press together
fOrcibly.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 19.-Reputable
Chinese merchants are greatly wrought up
over the murders by Highbinders, and to-
day they held conference with the act
ing chief of police, the United States Mar
shal, and other officials to devise means
of suppressing the Highbinders. The rep

they would do everything in their power
to help the police bring the offenders to
justice.

the companies to be devoted to this work
Rewards will be offered for the capture of
persons guilty of breaches of the peace,

instituted. 1t is expected arrangements
will be perfected for arresting all suspi-
cious looking Mongolians and compel them
to produce their registration papers. Those
who are found to be Illegally in the eoun-
try will be sent back to China
The Chinese have issued a list of re-
wards for arrest of Highbfnders. Three
hundred dollars is offered for the arrest of
the murderer. and $500 additional if he is
convicted Fifty dollars is offered for the
arrest of man guilty of assault with in
tent to murder, and $50 more for his con-
yiction. The Chinese also agree to pay
$500 to the relatives of any policeman
killed while arresting a Highbinder, and a
proportionate sum to an officer wounded.
This is the first time the Chinese have
ever honestly co-operated with the police
to stamp out Eighbinders who murder for

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Jan. 19.-After

preparations were being made for his
funeral, Alfred Umbricht came TO life in
the morgue of ST. Joseph's Hospital, New
York. That is the story he told his friends

chef at the Hotel Savoy when taken with
typhoid fever in November, and was car
ried to the st. Joseph Hospital for treat
ment He became delirious and finally
lapsed into Inconsistencies. He was pro-
nounced dead, and his body was taken to
the hospital morgue, while preparations
could be made to receive it in this city.
The zero atmosphere of the morgue re-
vived Umbricht, and he showed signs of
returning life after two days in the
morgue Restoratives were applied, and
he regained consciousness slowly. He has
Just become able to leave the hospital.
During his experience his hair turned

purchases of the Pacific securities were

larger advances in prices than on any re-
cent day. Money this morning was again
easy, the call loan rate being 31-3 during
the first two hours. Money is still coming
into the banks from the interior and the
balance with the subtreasury continues to
