in teeth that were perfectly sound, in
order that gold filings might be in
serted. Even sets of false teeth for
older people were thus decorated. Cod
caps were in great demand, and were
often put on when there was no occa-
sion, simply because people thought
they looked we'll. remember Sc ing a
chorus girl who came over with an

A bridge on western railroad had
been washed away and it was neces.
sary to replace It with a temporary
structure. The chief engineer and his
staff were ordered in hot haste to the
place, drafting room was established

became one of great activity. Two days
later came the general manager to add
more pressure to the already tense sit
uation. Alighting from his private
car he encountered the master bridge
builder. The latter was type evolved

BUYING 4 LARGE ESTATE
Ssvoral Capitalists Are Now Engaged In

sevoFaA capitalists Are Now Engaged In
That Occupation.
The starting of new great country
estate is always a matter OF interest
says Harper's Weekly. The tendency
in rich city men coward that sort of en-
iargement is OF recent growth, and it
is natural that there should be ex-
amples Of It in increasing numbers
near New York. e. H. Hartman, rail-
way giant-the same enterprising man
who carried a ship load of scientists to
Alaska in 1S99-has bought himself
10000 acres of land In Orange and
Rockland counties, New York, to the
west and north of Tuxedo and edging
over toward Goshen. Orange county is
still famous for it's butter and Mr..
Hartman doubtless intends to keep a
cow. His further intentions have not
as yet transpired except as shown by
considerable investments in roads.
Much of the fun in owning a farm two
miles square lies doubtless in planning
what to do with it. Mr.. Carnegie, whose
commodious dwelling on upper Fifth
avenue is already the biggest house in
town, is building himself another in
Westminster county near the st. An
drew's golf links, but has not yet given
evidence of an acute attack of land
hunger. Mr.. Whitney has 1000 acres
on Long Island, nearly twice as many
on October mountain and a big tract
in the North woods, and there are
many other estates Of from 500 to 5000
acres on Long island and near the
Hudson. DR.. Webb has elbow room at

LIME ON THE FARM.
It's Eject on the Soil should BE
studied More Closely.

studied More Closely.
Lime is a much used, and very often
at the same time, much abused ma
terial on the farm. It has very i'm
portant role to play, and, if handled
in the proper manner, is valuable aid
to the farmer. There are many who
use this material again and again
with a mistaken notion as to its true
functions in the soil. In time, how
ever. their experience teaches them the
true place of lime in agriculture, but
often their lands have been almost
exhausted before they gain their wis
dom. While lime has value as
plant food, yet its greatest worth on
the farm is due to its physical effect
on the soil itself 1t is very seldom
that a soil does not contain a sufficient
quantity of lime to furnish this ingre-
dent as plant food pure and simple.
Briefly described, the actions of lime
are as follows: If applied on a sandy
soil it fills up the openings, makes the
particles adhere closer. causes them
to retain moisture better. to absorb
less heat during the day and to retain
more at night. On clay soils it sepa-
rates the particles. making the soil
more porous, thus easier or the pas
sage of water and air. and therefore
makes the soil warmer and easier to
work. Lime also hastens the decay of
vegetable matter in the soil. which of
course renders the nitrogen more avail
able. If a soil is sour, an application
of lime will sweeten it. If a green
crop is plowed under an application of
lime will prevent the soil from becom-
ing acid. There is one effect of lime
that has no doubt frequently been no.
ticed, although wrong conclusions have
been drawn from it. 1t has often been
experienced that an application of
lime proves very beneficial to clovers of
all kinds. 1t was formerly thought
that the lime itself was the only fer
tilizer needed for the clover; il is now
known, however, that the beneficial ac-
ton of the lime upon clover is due to
the fact that the lime liberates other
plant food in the soil. notably potash,
which is of so much importance in sue
cessful clover culture. 1t will be seen,
however, that the continued applica-
ton of lime along would soon cause the
soil to become exhausted of its natu-
raj supply. not only of potash, but also
of phosphoric acid, and in time the
land would become clover sick, which is
a condition often met with.-Farmers'

SCATTERING CLOUDS.


Possibly it was from noticing the un-
successful attempts made by the would
be rainmakers in the United States to
bring down showers when wanted that
an ingenious Austrian grape grower
was induced to exactly reverse the
American practice. An account of his
experiment is reported by United
States Consul Stephan at Annaberg
The Austrian owned extensive vine
yards situated on the southern slopes
of the mountains, in a locality often
visited by destructive hailstorms. At
first he tried galvanized wire, and he
decided to install a battery and test the
plan of causing explosions to drive off
the hailstorms. He erected six stati ions
on prominent mountain submits com
handing territory about two miles
in extent Each station sheltered ten
mortars and a corps of volunteers
handled them. The practical test is
thus described:
Threatening black clouds made their
appearance on the SUBMITS of the
Bacher mountains. At a given signal
all the mortars were fred off and the
continuous detonations in few mo-
ments caused a sudden reaction in the
movements of the clouds. The cloud
wall opened up funnel-like; the mouth
of the funnel began to rise in the form
OF consecutive rings expanding Cradu-
ally until all the clouds scattered and
entirely disappeared. No hail nor sud
den downpour of rain fell. The same
experience was gone through six times
last summer, and without single ex-
ception proved successful preventive.
