WATCHING MORGAN.

One of the startling revelations result
ing from the three days illness of J.
Pierpont Morgan, when he was confined
to his home with cold, was that he is
constantly guarded by three sets of
detectives. That some of these are men
in the employ of persons who are anxious
that the great trust builder shall 1--we
long gives a deep significance to his
absence from Wall street at critical
moment in the manipulation OF the stock
market by the raiders. An accident to
him at a time so momentous wollld
mean the loss of millions to spectators.
His return to his office in this case was
coincident with a check in the bear
raids First of the detectives who
watch Morgan are those OF his private
bureau and the police. AT his wan
street Office former roundsmaE, who Is
q stalwart. good,patured man, is in per-
sonal charge. From two 10 dozen
men are in this detectives command IN
front of the Office or across the street at
the corner of Broad and Wall streets.
Next are the life-insurance detectives, rep
resentinting companies who carry large
policies on Mr.. Morgan's life for specula-
tors all over the world. 1t is OF great
importance 10 know the condition OF the
fnancier's health at all times tha'
they may regulate the rates charged ior
additional policies applied for. Not
even the King Of England has more
speculative insurance on his life than
has Mr. Morgan. These two classes Mr..
Morgan does not object to, but the third
he heartily dislikes. These are in the
employ of market spectators. For pro
lection against them as much as for safe
ty from other dangers he has his owl

guards. The watchfulness of these men,
who must keep the spectators fully
aware of his every move and of his health,
is continual source of irritation to him.
Not long ago, when runaway team
came near colliding with the cab III
which Mr.. Morgan was driving, the in
cident was known within a minute IN
many quarters of the city. Newspapers
received tips of the escape the flnancler
had, and there was a scurryIng III all
directions of men who had to report
quickly to their employers. Such things
are irritating to the trust builder, and it
is with great relief that he boards his
yacht, which is in fact the only place
where he can have the absolute secluslon
he wishes. Even from this retreat IN
formation frequently comes ashore in a
way that proves what complete system
of espionage is maintained about him.

It is surprising to what extent i'm
mature stock is used for breeders, even
among poultry fanciers. A cockerel
less than year old is mated with
pullets, and this is kept up for genera
lions. The results can hardly fail to
be disastrous, at least so far as hardi-
ness is concerned. When hardness
departs or is bred out the door is open
to many evils. Breeders that have care
fully looked into the matter believe
that the resulting fowls lay eggs in
fertile or with germ weak in fertil-
ity. Moreover the tendency is to de-
velop strain of fowls that will have
little of the force Of matured birds.
The more advanced breeders are using
mature stock. What about the man
that buys eggs of the men that breed
from immature stock? Are they get
ting fair return for the money they
expend? 1t would be well for egg
buyers to find out whether. the eggs
they are to purchase this spring are
from immature birds or not.

Prof H. l. Russell says: The mold
ing of cheese is, OF course. a biological
phenomenon due to the development of
mold spores on the surface of the
cheese, a condition brought about BY
the proper temperature and moisture.
Mold will invariably occur when the
degree of saturation in the atmosphere
reaches the maximum point, and under
these conditions at ordinary tempera-
lures at which cheese is ripened you
have more or less trouble from the
molding of the cheese. We find that
when cheese is cured at 40 degrees or
Whereabouts, these molds will not de-
velop. They cannot grow to any con-
siderable extent because the tempera-
ture is too low for them to develop. so
that those losses are to large extent
obviated by the use of these lower cur
ing temperatures.

The milk yield of sows might be
thought to be considerable, as it must
supply the food for sometimes very
large htters. That it is not large
should teach US that the amount of
milk needed for the sustenance Of the
young Of any animals is relatively
small. Man, when ne tries to supply
artifcially the place of nurse to farm
animals, almost always overfeeds. This
overlooking is not infrequently the
sole cause of the death of animals be-
ing brought up by hand. Nature has
fixed matters in such way that over
feeding is practically out of Lne
question. AS to the amount of milk
yielded by sows we have not extensive
data. Four sows were tested at the
Wisconsin station and their milk
weighed at different periods and for
different lengths of time. Number
one gave an average of So pounds
per day; number gave Al pounds per
day; number 3 gave "a pounds per
day and number gave SO pounds per
day. The highest yield Of milk on any
one day was 81 pounds by SOW number
one, twenty days after narrowing.

The fact is not generally known
that there is in the north of Scotland
miniature Sahara some twenty
square miles in extent From Nairn
to the river Findhorn there is a great
expanse of shifting sandhiIIs. known
as the Culbin Sands. which show all
the great peeuliarities of a great des-
ert, and which successfully resist all
attempts at cultivation Three CEN
turtles ago the place was a smiling
garden with several farms and a vii
lage, all OF which were overwhelmed
in single night by a great storm Of
sand The remains of the buildings
can still occasionally be seen when the
sand shifts. and many old domestic
articles have been picked up. Some

inhabitants from the binding sand

Although the silk cotton tree is a
native Of South America, there is one
specimen Of it in Nassau, Bahama
Islands, that has hourished wonder
fully, and is one of the greatest Gu
riosities on the island. It is just now
in bloom and at the height Of its
beauty. 1t was planted more than two
hundred years ago by John Miller.
The roots seem to be unable to find
their way down after the manner Of
ordinary roots. and so swell up like
great buttresses radiating round the
trunk Of the tree. rising from the
ground to height of from six to
twelve feet. They reach out to frregu-
lar distances. gnarled and twisted in
the most curious fashion They turn
and bend and double a point in all
sorts Of unexpected ways and make
dark hollows and ravines. where the
darkies believe the elves and gnomes
make their home
The great seed pods are filed with
a fine soft fleece of silk, which the ma
tives use for filing their pillows and
mattresses There are several speci-
mems of the tree on the island of New
Providence but this one is monarch
Of them all.

In TrdrkeY's Capital.
Almost Every eligion Has Representatives in This,
The Most CosmopoItan City in the World

The most cosmopolitan city in the
world is Constantinople 1t is the
seat of the Sheik-ul-Islam. the eccles-
iastical head Of the MosIem faith, and
the seat of the Patriarchs of the Greek
and the Armenian churches, and of the
chief rabbi of the Jews. Every other
religion has its representatives among
the population. 1t is claimed that
there are in Constantinople representa-
tiyes Of every nation and every tribe
upon the globe, and that every Ian
guage Is spoken. It is common to see
signs written in eight or nine Ian
guages on the fronts Of the retail
shops. These races and religions are
all more or less antagonistic. There
is nothing to unite them. Each sus-
poets the other Of treachery. They
have no relations, except in trade. and
IN their commercial dealings they are
all trying to cheat one another.
There is a multitude of priests. d.
yided into classes and ranks The
lowest is the muezzin, who is a sort
Of sacristan or sexton at the mosque.
He calls the faithful to prayer, but
takes no part in the devotional exer-
cises. Softas are theological students,
young preachers who make up fanat-
ical and turbulent class and are the
cause Of most Of the disturbances in
Constantinople, as the students of uni
versities often are in other European
countries. Next to them in rank are
the cadis, who exercise a temporal as
well as spiritual jurisdiction, acting as
notaries, justices of the peace, judges
OF the courts and look after the finan-
cial affairs of the different parishes
and religious orders. There are sew
eral religious brotherhoods and or
ders like the dervishes. The moulahs
or regular priests, who conduct the
services at the mosques, may be COM
pared with the ordinary clergy in our
country. One grade above him is the
khodja, or professor Of theology, who
is found daily at the mosques with a
copy of the Koran and other ortho-
dox authorities before him expounding
the faith Of the Mohammedans to
groups of students and others who
gather around him sitting cross-legged
upon the floor

engines run three eOmpressors to fill
the tanks. On a favorable day this
horn can be heard a distance of twelve
to fifteen miles. The plant is auto

carry the goods at such a low rate
that the butter is brought to tide
water on the Baltic at small cost
Moreover, the Russian government
does not lose sight of it there. Re-
Gently a conference was held in St.
Petersburg between the makers of but
ter and government officials that have
duties more or less touching the ship
ment of butter. The secretary of
transportation reported that 900 re-
frigerator cars for butter had been
provided and cold storage plants at all
stations likely to be used for consid-
cradle shipments of butter. Arrange
ments were also entered into for the
shipping of the butter to England by
steamers not touching at Danish ports
The Russians are evidently determined
that no more Siberian or Russian but
ter shall be shipped to England from
Denmark and labeled Danish butter
This is wise step, by which an old
trick is made impossible of working
Dairy schools are to be established. It
is also urged that central laboratory
be equipped for the purpose of analyz-
ing suspicious lots of butter and pre-
venting their expectation. 1t is claimed
that Siberian butter badly adulterated
has appeared on the English market

Curious Thimbne Case.

Very curious is a thimbIe case
bought about forty-fve years ago at a
small exhibition held in the Crystal
Palace in New York. 1t is made from
the nut of a palm tree which grows in
Peru.
The kernel of this nut. when unripel
is soft ard it is then that the nut Is
picked, so that its kernel can be easily
cut into small articles. This thimbIe
case, made from one OF these kernels.
is about the size and shape OF an egg.
1t is followed out and divided into two
parts. which screw together
The kernel has been carved in such
a way that an openwork Of leaves and
stems is all that is left OF the nut.
