Sustnining His Theory.

No man is real man of science unless he is ready to abandon his own conclu- sions. duly put on record. if subsequent investigations prove them fallacious. The president of great college once wrote volume on the practice of medicine. After it had been completed and he had gone 10 New York to ar range for it's publication. his house was burned. and the manuscript of his book and all his notes were destroyed.
 He couldn't reproduce it. Ten years afterward he said That fire was the greatest of good fortune to me- If had published the book. should have had to stand by it, whereas now know that it was all wrong."
 Mir. Andrew Lang, in Longman's Magazine. tells of two geologists who were gathering specimens in lonely mountain place. One of them had writ ten book. The other. looking about one day with field glass, saw his friend occupied a long time-unob- served, as he thought-in rolling great stone downhill, and at dinner questioned him about it.
 He pretended at first that he had been doing it for exercise, but, hard pressed, confessed
 'Well. the fact is. the confcunded thing was 200 feet too high to suit my theory!"
 But nature is too big to be rearranged to suit anyone's theory-even our own.

LIQUID FUEL FOR STEAMER S.
Vessel Travels to London from BOr- neO Using only Oil for
 It's Fires.

In October the steamship Cowrie steamed all the way from Koetei, in Borneo to London, a distance of 9,235 miles, using nothing but liquid fuel. When the steamer reached London the boilers for supplying steam for the un- loading machinery were fired by the same material. The oil was not burned by thin layer of incandescent coal, as is the case in some systems, but was reduced to spray by means of steam jet at the furnace door, where it was delivered from tanks above the boilers, says the New York Sun.
 The Cowrie was formerly fired with coal, and her owners say that her con- version to liquid fuel has been at- tended with advantageous results. Only six stokers are now required, though 16 were necessary when coal was used. A great deal of bunker space is also saved. The consumption of oil at sea is only 22 tons day, while the daily consumption of coal .used to be 35 tons. and ton of oil occupies only 34 cubic feet, against 45 feet required for coal. The coal is also taken on board much more quickly than coal, and recently 3CO tons were pumped into a German steamer in an hour.
 The oil yield by the HOrneo oil fields is said to make an excellent fuel just as it comes from the ground. and it is beginning to be much used for this purpose by the .Hamburg-American and other steamers that are engaged in the eastern trade.

jersey Scale of Poists.

c. A. Rosebrough asks us how to
tell a Jersey calf. The following are
some OF the points Of the Jersey cow:
Hcad.-Small and lean; face dished,
broad between the Eyes and narrow
between the horns.
Eyes.-Full and placid.
Neck.-Thin. rather long. with clean
throat and not heavy at the shout
ders.
Back.--Level to the setting ON Of
tail.
Loins.-Broad across.
Barrel.-Long. hoped. broad and
deep at the flank.
Hips.-Wide apart: rump long.
Legs.-Short.
Tail.-Fine, reaching the hooks.
with good switch.
Hlde.-Mellow; inside Of ears yell
low.
As to whether a calf is a high grade
or full-blood there Is no particular
way to tell. A full-blooded calf may
not always have all the conformity of
tho Jersey pure bred. while a high
grade, on account of the prepotency of
the Jersey blood in him, might not
show the small proportion of alien
blood.
