THE LARGEST HARVESTER.
1t Is Self-MOving, Cuts n 36-FoOt
S,yath md weighs Over 100 Tons.

What is said to be the largest auto
mobile in the world, and the largest
combined harvester as we'll, is now at
work on a big ranch in central Califor
MIA. where it is being used in cutting
10000 acres of barley. The big machine
consists of a traction engine capable of
handling IS tons. and which takes the
place of sixty horses. header or now
ing machine. which cuts a swath
thirty-six feet in width, and big
threshing machine all complete. The
threshing machine and header are run
by a 3O-horse power engine, entirely
separate from the traction machine,
save that they both get steam from the
same boiler
The apparatus moves over the ground
at different speeds. according to the
thickness of the crop, while all the time
the header and thresher are going at
full speed, whether the grain be thick
or thin. The average speed made is
three and half miles an hour, and 100
acres q day can be threshed by the ma
chine.
The drive wheels of this monster
traction engine are eight feet in diam
eter and have tires Al inches wide, on
which are ridges an inch and a half
high. Eight men are employed on the
thresher. Half a minute after the
header starts to work the threshed grain
begins to fall into the sacks on the 9TH
er side from where it is cut, while the
straw falls into a cart behind. The
heads are carried away from the head
er by a draper, or moving belt, 4S
inches wide. They are carried through
a colander, which breaks the beard
from the barley and shells it at the same
time. then by a narrow belt through
two cleaners and finally to bin, from
which it is sacked. The sacks are
Sewed and set aside as fast as filled.
When II sacks have been filled they
are allowed to slide off the cart on
which they are stacked to the ground.
Likewise when the straw cart is full
it is dumped.
This giant automobile Is &C feet long
and half as wide. weighing over 100
tons. 1t uses oil as fuel, necessitating
the water for the boiler as it travels
around large areas.-Los Angeles, Cal,

POTENCY OF SPELLS.
Survival of the Ancient Belief In
Charms Against Spells.

Survival of the Ancient Belief In
Charms Against Spells.
During the South African war num-
ber of instances have cropped up show
ing that the idea still prevails that
there are such things as charms and
spells against wounds and death. Not
long ago a paragraph appeared IN
some Of the papers to the effect that a
soldiers watch, with charm attached
to It, had been found on one of the bat
tlefields, and was being held for right
ful claimant. Earlier in the war pri-
Yates letter told how comrade had
come in safely through hot engage
ment by virtue, as he thought, or an
amulet he wore to be mortally wound
ed in a subsequent skirmish, when, by
the merest chance, he was not wearing
his charm. A relatives letter from the
front tells the writer Of a young felloW
who wore a charmed ring suspended
from his neck. The wearer had 1t from
his sweetheart, he placed the most per-
feet faith in it, and though he had oeen
in several hot corners, he had hitherto
always come out scathless.
Although this kind Of belief Is of very
ancient date, it Is curious as well as
interesting to find it still In existence
in the British army. Perhaps we ought
to say traces of it," for 1t Is hard TO
believe that it is widely prevalent. AND
vet 1t would not be very surprising IL
II were 80, seeing that certain pro-
norton of the rank and file are Hitter
ate and come from stratum or society
which Ia largely superstitious. II IS
curious to compare our army IN thls
respect with the German.
Those who happened to be IN the
fatherland during and Immediately al
ter the war of 1901 must have peeh
struck by the amount Of superstition
that, hidden under ordinary circum-
stances, in the then excited state or the
public mind made its way to the sur
face much as the mud Of a stagnant
pool floats to the top when the water
,s ap,tated. Nothing seems too absurd
to be believed. Portents and warnings
were seen everywhere. Black crosses
observed for the first time in window
names of the houses of the peasantry
throughout Baden and the south gener-
orally, were held as the signs OF divine
wrath against the turn things In gen.
oro, had taken in the fatherland, espe-
eially in regard to the church. The ex-
citement, touching this phenomenon
became intense, and was only allayeo
when a Baden glass manufacturer came
forward and demonstrated that the
warning crosses were marks imprinted
on the glass in the process Of making.

PROBLEM FOR LAWMAKERS.
How Pension Money Ought TO bf
Distributed.

Distributed.
THE YoRKvIILE ENQUIRER very
promptly raises a new question 1or
discussion now that the primary elec-
tion has been held, and it Is none too
soon for the legislators-elect to pegm
studying the problem as to how the
pension money should be distributed so
as to reach only the needy and deserv-
ing. It Is certainly a difficult question
to deal with, so as not to neglect the
worthy on the one hand or Improperly
bestow pensions on the other hand.
The law would seem to be amply suf-
ficient in either case, and yet In It's ad-
ministration there are complaints MADE
that deserving men and women are
neglected, but more often that the un-
worthy have been admitted to this roll
of honor. Frequently the latter arises
from the fact that a pensioner Is put
upon the roll where at best very little
service was rendered, and the Confed-
crate soldier is put on an equality Win
those who served only few months IN
the reserves.
This criticism Of the law and Its ad-
ministration has been heard every no"
and then from wounded. disabled and
decrepit men whose service was far
more valuable and important, and
whose estimate Of the pension law Is
governed by the number of battles In
which a man was engaged or by his
wounds and disability incurred on the
field or in the camp. To him the law
does not seem to make proper discrim-
nation between active service where
there was real danger and an lnact-
i've temporary service, where a gun

A Curious Bird.

The sewing or tailor bird of
India is a little yellow creature
not much larger than ones
thumb. To escape falling a
prey to snakes and monkeys, the
tailor bird picks up a dead leaf
and flies up into a tall tree, and
with a fiber for thread and it's
bill for a needle sews the leaf on
to a green one hanging from the
tree, the sides being sewn up,
and an opening left at the top.
That a nest is swinging in the
tree no snake or monkey or even
a man would suspect.
