From the inferior goods of ordinary stores to
the splendid qualities of our stock. But that jump

In the clay-beds of the valley of the
Connecticut are found wonderful and
beautiful concretions, specimens Of
which, sent to England, excited the
interest of the Royal Society as long
ago as 1870. Mr.. j. M. Arms Sheldon,
who has written book about them,
says that the concretions appear in
four principal types: disk-shaped, CYL
indrical, botryoidal Resembling grape
clusters), and limitations of animal
forms. The latter are the most strik-
ing, the forms initiated including
fishes, birds, ant-eaters, elephants,
dogs, babies feet, and so forth. A
remarkable fact is that each clay-bed
has form of concretion peculiar to
itself and the principal types are
never found intermingled in the same
bed. The beds are composed of strait
fed, river-drift clays, or "Champlain"
clays.

osOo Snakes May GrosO as One.

Occasionally college professor who
is liberated from his books and turned
loose in the green fields and byways
of nature makes a discovery that is of
real permanent value to humanity.
While camping on Indian Greek, out
in Colorado, Professor Dickson of Yale
succeeded in demonstrating after re-
peated experiments that two snakes
could be welded together so that the
two bodies will unite and continue to
grow as one. He sewed the rear half
of an adder to the front half of rat
tlesnake, and after twenty-four hours
his scientific soul was enraptured by
the sight of the RATHER swishing the
tail of the adder about as though it
belonged to him. Of course there was
a look of surprise and disappointment
in the face of the RATHER when he
found that he must drag the tail of the
silent adder through life, but it was
noted that his sting was just as deadly
as ever and that there was no abate-
ment of bodily energy.

SANITARY HAIR-BRUsH

The ordinary hair brush is so diff
cult to clean that it is often neglected
until it becomes a sort of paradise for
disease germs, and finally reaches the
stage where it must be cleaned or
thrown away. In the illustration is
shown brush recently designed by
Robert j. Montgomery, of Illinois,
which should recommend itself on
sight for cleanliness and ease with
which the parts may be separated for
washing. The bristles are attached to
a skeleton or open-work frame, which
is hinged at the outer end of the back,
the handle being provided with
spring catch to hold the frame while
in use. The interior of the back is
concave in shape, better to receive the
siftings which fall through the frame
from the bristles. In the ordinary
brush the dirt always accumulates at

Wonders of DYING Dolphin.

We were on a sailing ship, seven
passengers of us, bound from Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil, to New York. Our
ship was bark, the Adelaide Fender
CAST, owned in New York. She had
been long out from her home harbor,
first to Cadiz, Spain, with merchan-
disc; thence to Rio de Janeiro, for
coffee, with which she was now laden.
Her crew were Norwegians, her master
Capt. John Lawson, as jolly an Irish
man as ever sailed the salty waves,
says writer in Forest and Stream.
"Hurrah!" cried the captain one day.
Here is something new for you'll Come
and see dolphin, the most beautiful
fish that lives in water" We made
rush for the bulwarks, and to our de-
light saw swimming along with us sew
eral emerald-hued fish, from three to
five feet long, graceful in shape and
motion. Their bodies were like satin,
of delicate green shading to a deeper
hue at the fins. Darling and whirling,
they changed places rapidly, moving
from one side of the ship to the other.
I'll give you a sight you never saw
before" exclaimed the captain. "You
Shall see dying dolphin" He brought
his. gig, small harpoon, with it's cruel
hshhook darts, and fastening a line to
It's long handle, made it secure around
his wrist. Cant hook these fellows

had already been RECALLED with shark
and barracuda from the line that hung
at the stern. The captain leaned over
the rail. With 1.-THE motion the fish
darted under the weapon suspended
over them. quick plunge, with sure
aim, a green flash through the air, and
the struggling, leaping victim was
landed on the deck. And now we saw
the dying dolphin. Let scientists ex-
plain how it changes its colors; we can
but make record of its appearance. The
glowing green died away to silver.
This became spotted with blue. which
gradually spread until the whole fish
was a sapphire color. Waves of gold
flashed over It, growing deeper until IL
was golden fish, only to be trans
formed into a roseate one by spots
which came and extended. Thus from
color to color changed the cleaning
sides of the quivering beauty of the
deep, until pity was almost forgotten
In admiration and we exclaimed:
Never have we seen anything mora
beautiful than dying dolphin" We
were practical enough to enjoy the
friend fish, of delicate golden brown.
which was a welcome relief to our
salty bill of fare; but that is common
place recollection compared in the
minds eye with the memory of the
fish, which, swanlike, yields its charms
in the dying hour.

HANDY KITCHEN UrENsn.

Kate Hatch McRae, of Colorado, has
designed a machine for beating cake
rapidly and thoroughly with little ex-
ertion, the picture showing the ap-
paratus in operation. The beater
proper may be of any desired form,
to suit the numerous uses for which
the beaten may be used. When it is
desired to make use of the apparatus
the hanger is rigidly secured to the
edge of the table by the clamps, and
the cake dish is held underneath the
downwardly-projecting beaten with
one hand, while the crank is grasped
in the other hand to revolve the beat
er until the operation is completed.
The beating frame is easily removed
for cleaning or for inserting another
style for performing different work.

THE ORIGIN OF SPECIFIES

Prof. Hugo de Vries, the well-known
Dutch botanist and biologist, is cred
tied with "momentous discovery
concerning the origin of species among
plants. Briefly stated, his observations
Indicate that new species appear sud
denly by mutation, never as the out
come of progressive variation. He
AYERS that he has been able, for the
first time, to watch the formation and
development of new species. A review
er of his work in the English scien-
tlfic journal Nature, says: "The facts
are so striking and convincing that an
outsider, like the reviewer, cannot but
feel that new period in the theories
OF the origin of species and of evolu-
ton has been inaugurated.

srENC1LING FOR EFFEors.

Some of the. best decorative effects to
be found in the handsomest of modern
houses are obtained by stenciling. This
is used for all purposes, for hangings,
for wall coverings and ceilings, and
for the furniture itself. Armure is one
of the materials which is frequently
stenciled for wall coverings. Buck
ram is also used with excellent effect
as a ground for the work, and Japan
csc grass cloth is exceedingly beauti-
full. Leather and many other materials
take the stenciling and give good re-
suits. Velours are specially treated to
receive the stenciling and are used for
hangings and screen covers. Other
soft materials, when treated with con-
ventional designs, are just the thing
for dens, smoking and billiard rooms.
Occasionally the material will be given
special color tone before the design
is applied, and the whole when finished
Is as soft as II the stenciling had been

Fail Rfoer Cotton Mills.

The Fall River manufacturers of
common print cloths who have given
notice of cut in wages do not take
kindly to the suggesting that they cut
down their production instead and
thus give the market a chance to abb
sorb surplus stocks and open the way
for stiffening of prices. These man
ufacturers say with some truth that
If they were to reduce production
while their competitors did not the lat
ter alone would be the gamers. Re
duced production to be really effective
must be general. There are so many
cotton mills and they are so widely
distributed that unanimity of action is
impossible. At the same time the Tex
tile Manufacturers Journal has its
doubts whether the cut in wages, If
made, will add materially to the profits
Of the Fall River mills. 1t says that
price reduction may come as a con-
sequence of the wage reduction. Man
ufacturers seldom retain any1enefit
from special advantages. The buyer
is usually the beneficiary. The fact
of the matter is that there is so much
competition in the manufacture of
common cottons that while mills which
have new and improved machinery and
are we'll managed are able to make
money mills with inferior machinery
cannot do so unless they can beat
down their workmen's wages. The
employees at Fall River are. not ready
to submit to the proposed cut, and If
it is insisted on there will be - ugly
labor war in that citu

COLD w1NTERs-Hor SUMMERS.

DR.. o. L. Fassig in the Monthly
Weather Review shows, as the result
of an investigation of records extend
ing from 1917 to the present time, that
neither exceptionally warm nor excep-
tionally cold summers have any more
relation to the succeeding winter tenn
peratures than normal summers have,
and that. broadly speaking, there is
no regular alienation, or period, in
atmospheric temperatures. The in
vestigation was undertaken with a
view of testing the soundness of such
popular beliefs as that an extremely
hot summer precedes cold winter.
