SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

French scientists are now engaged
upon the problem of acclimatizing the
Isonondragutta, the tree which pro-
duces gutta-percha, indispensable to
the construction of submarine cables.
In the higher regions of the Cor
dilleras refuge huts have been erected
for the postmen who have to make
their rounds till late in the winter.
Even thus, some of these men perish
every winter, if overtaken by storm
lasting several days.

Professor Van Else takes the posi-
tion that underground water is the
cause of rock changes and is the gen.
eral medium of exchange by which
mineral particles are passing from one
form to another, and that the greater
number of ore deposits which contrib
ute so mucn to the wealth of the world
are the work of the operations of this
subterranean water.
Children with measles are wrapped
in red cloth by French peasant wom-
en-. Noticing this, Cnatinier pasted
red paper on the windows where pa
tients having measles lived, and the
results, in all cases, without medicine
have been favorable. He finds that
other colors, especially strong shades
of violet, excite the skin, while sub
dued red light rests it.
The labor cost of scientific research
is not easy to realize A British en-
tOmologist has just shown a series
or about 80 pictures illustrating every
stage in the metamorphosis of drag
on fly from the nymph to the perfect
insect, and relates that he took over
1000 photographs before getting his
complete set. Constant watching was
necessary. as after the first indication
of change the dragon fly might emerge
at any time within the next three days
the emergence being so rapid that
three pictures were taken in six Sec
ondS.
1t is well known that wasps do much
injury to fruit, and complaints have
been numerous this season from many
quarters in this country; but it appears
that the possible injury to fruit by
bees has been the subject of an ex-
haustive investigation by the Califor-
MIA experiment stations. The conclu-
sions arrived at are that although the
mouth parts of bees are so constructed
that they might be used for both eat
ing and injuring fruit, all the evidence
obtainable points to the fact that it
is very seldom that any injury is
done this country the bee has rare.

that he had been saved after one

"Of course l don't keer about no

Gallup as she tried to wipe away
her tears with the glass stopper of
the bottle, "but if you don't put

FARMING WITH AN ELEPHANT.

James Cahill, of Roney's Point,
is the first West Virginian to utilize
the elephant for farm work. Early
last spring small circus had drifted
about the country until il struck
Bellaire and stranded. The show
was brought to the Wheeling side
of the river, and sold out. Two
donkeys, small elephant, and the
tent were purchased by Mr.. Cahill,
and taken 10 the farm of his father,
Patrick Cahill, near Roneys Point.
Mr.. Cahill did not believe that an
animal as large and as strong as the
elephant, which in this case was
but little larger than a COW, should
be supported in idleness, and he
proceeded to hitch up his sons new
purchase and make it do its share
of the farm work.
Mr.. Cahill was in the city, in
curing for any stranded circusman
who might be in the city, as he
desired to employ a man to care for
and work the elephant. In a con-
versation he stated that when he
started to work the elephant last
spring, he found it to be as gentle
as any animal he had ever handled.
1t caused but little, if more expense
than a horse, and could do twice
the amount of work. He had used
it for hauling rails and logs all over
the farm. When hitched to a log
a horse could not bulge the animal
would walk off with it, as though it
was nothing.
al expected" said Mr. Cahiu,
"to have some trouble with the
animal when winter came, as did
not expect it to be able to stand the
cold climate here. So far, it has
not seemed to mind the weather
any more than the other farm
animals. / have a warm shed for
it, but the doors have been left
open nearly every day, and the
animal will walk in the BARNARD.
seeming to care no more for the
snow or cold than the cattle or
horses.
zone peculiarly which ! noticed
in the animal is that it is covered
with mousc-colored hair, almost
as thick as the hair on cattle. This
began growing soon after it was
taken to the farm, and is now as
long as that on the cattle. have
been told that the elephants in the
shows arc clipped regularly, to
keep the hair off them. ! do not
know whether this is true or not. or
whether the hair on this animal is
caused by the change Of climate.
The animal is quite curiosity in
the section Of the country about
Roneys Point and there is hardly a
boy or farmer for miles about that
has not been to see it, and every
visitor to the town is brought to the
farm TO see the elephant"

THE WEST VIRGINIA
To BE the Finest Cruiser IN tho United
States Navy.

Proud of the honor conferred
upon the thrifty young common
wealth of West Virginia, in giving
its name to one of the proposed
new armored cruisers, the State
Legislature several weeks ago APP
pointed a committee TO call upon
the Secretary of the Navy and give
expression to the pleasure felt by
the citizens of the State in being
thus distinguished. The committee
went to Washington and dis
charged their duty. The party con-
sisted of Senators Harmer and
Price and Delegates Scherr, Willis
and Hayes. Accompanied by
United States Senator Scott and
Representative Dayton, the gentle
men called on Secretary Long, and
after meeting him, were greeted by
Assistant Secretary Hackett, Admi-
raj Endicott, chief of the bureau of
yards and docks, Captain F. T..
Chadwick, president of the naval
war college, and Lieutenant Homer
c. Poundstone, of the United
States navy, the last two being West
Virginians.
The members of the legisla tive
committee were cordially received
by the head of the navy department,
after discharging the duty imposed
upon them, were formally assured
that one of the armored cruisers
now under contract shall be known
as the West Virginia, and being the
first to be constructed upon the
new plan, sets the pace. The vessels
OF the same character to be built
later will be known as the West
Virginia type.
The Armored Cruiser of the
modern West Virginia pattern will
De one OF the most powerful fight
ing vessels the country has ever
owned. 1t will be superior to and
have greater displacement than the
Oregon, recognized now as the
most formidable of the navy's
vessels. The West Virginia will
make twenty two knots an hour,
and vessels of its capacity, pro-
PEELED by engines of %, 900 horse
power, will therefore be the most
rapid of United States war vessels.
the largest the safest and most
effective ships ahoat.
The West Virginia will be ready
for service inside of two years. Re-
ferring to the desire of the people
to present the cruiser a token of its
appreciation of the honor of having
it named for the State, Secretary
Long said any gift of appropriate
design would be acceptable to the
yessels future commander and to
the department The naval officers
suggested several articles. Lieu
tenant Poundstone's design being
two silvered bronze shields, bearing
the great seal OF the State. one n
be attached to each of the two main
turrets.
1t was finally determined that if
the Legislature shall see proper at
the present session to take action
IN the matter, and il would seem
seeessary, as the body meets bien-
nially,the proper course would be to
appoint a committee of representa-
tiyes of the two houses of the Legis.
lature, to act in conjunction with
committee appointed by the Gov
iernor with power to select design.

It is conceded on all hands that
the State will want to make

is also conceded, will be built on
