Residue Of the OIL Is Used to Produce
Handsome Wax candles.
The busy little bee was long ago
cheated out Of his monopoly in the
honey-making business by artificial
honey manufacturers. Now he is left
to improve the shining hour as best he
may, for his corner on wax is rapidly
slipping away from him. Parafine. a
product Of crude petroleum, is taking
the place Of beeswax in commerce very
largely, and half the wax candles Of
today are OF pure parafhne and never
saw the inside Of a beehive. Whiting,
Ind, just over the southern line Of
Chicago, is the place where this wax Is
made. The parafine works are quite
distinct and apart from the oil refinery
and is quite a large plant in itself. The
oil treated here is the residual oil, p
or oil from which all the Illuminating
and fuel oils have been distilled in the
oil refinery. and which would be deem
ed practically worthless by an outsider.
AS it is pumped from the oil refinery
into its first receptacle, the tar stills

Vulnerable pipes--it has the appear
ance of liquid tar or New Orleans mo-
lasses or anything else that is dark,
heavy, sluggish, and looks as unlike
the beautiful candles Is possible.-New

Lord Farrer's personality was a
source OF charm and pleasure to his
private Friendships the London Times.
He had many. for he was Of the order
Of cultivated and sympathetic men who
rank friendship as one Of the best and
most enduring sources Of human sat

interest In all the newer modes Of

which he found himself surrounded,
and In the latest years Of his life he
was humorously and a~nectionately
spoken Of by friends OF old standing
as that boy Farrer." But the open
ness Of heart that led him to add year

was associated with q fidelity Of in

appreciation, on which he never tired
Of insisting, Of the value OF possessing
a few clear, settled principles OF life

old way of putting fowls TO death by
decapitation or wringing their necks
hn5 been superseded by new methods.
The bulk Of the fowls are received
In 8ars. The car is run up alongside
Of the building, where there Is a chute
that leads to the second floor. Inside
this chute is an endless belt with small
clcats upon u. A man stands at it's
base and as fast as he grabs a chicken,
turkey or duck he deposits It IN the
chute and the belt carries the fowl up
into an lnclOsed cage over a large scale.
When this cage is full the fowls are
weighed and then distributed to the
different cages, where they are fed for
q certain length Of time and are ready
for killing. Then they are reweighed
and sent down another chute to n small
coop on the first floor. On this floor the
dry picking process Is used. AS soon
as the fowl reaches the coop a man
grasps it and fastens both its feet in a
small prOng-fhen he hangs it on an
endless chain. The chicken is yet
alive. Another man kills the chicken
by punctur'ne is throat at the same
time attaching n TIM can weighted
to the BIN Of the bird. This can holds
the fowl arm and also acts as n recep-
tacle for catching an of the blood as
1t drips. Ihc blood thus caught is
afterward sent 10 the fertilizing works.
The fowl is now ready for picking.
Standing Oh q row along where the end
less chain IS run are some twenty men
ready 60 take q pick Mt part of the
chicken as 20 fttls him. The endless
chain passes ih ,ough an iron cage I'm
which are eight MEN. The duty of
these men Is to- pick of the choicest
feathers which are dropped to the floor
Of the cage ana later picked up. When
the chicken leaves the cage there re
mains but a fcV atragciing feathers .
The last man takes tbe fowl from the
prong, removes the few remaining
feathers and takes the bird to an in.
spectOr, who orders &c 'racked' with
the rest for the esoier. Then the fowl
is run into the cold storage. where it is

Many birds suspend their nests from

Friends. It is hung from the branch
like an inverted bottle, so as to be
secure from the approach Of tree
snakes and other reptiles. The most
curious thing about the baya bird is
that it is said to light up its nest by
sticking fire flies on its sides with
clay or soft mud. There seems to be
little doubt Of the fact. DR.. Buchanan
says: cat night each of the %habitations
is lighted up by a FREELY stuck in the

there are three or four frehies and
their blaze in the little cells dazzles the
eyes of the bats, which often destroy
the young of these birds" Perhaps
other animals are scared of by the
