common stones were mixed and placed
IN the pot, with d certain portion Of

the operator should not think Of hip

Cheap Material for Ronds.

1t has been discovered that burnt
gumbo is a most serviceable material
for use on country roads. 1t is not
quite as durable as is crushed stone,
but is far superior to dirt. Its cost is
slight, as it can be produced without
the use of skilled labor. The burning
of the gumbo removes the quality
that when the ebay is wet causes stick
mess. This burnt clay is used for cap
ping the road. The road-bed must be
well drained and well built before the
top of burnt clay is put on. 1t is
claimed that if people will adopt the
burnt-clay idea, roads as good as those
in France can be constructed in this
country with no additional expendi-
ture over that now being required by
the roads.

THE POWER OF SPEECH.
Prof. Cunningham Describes 1t ms the
Result OF a Slow Process of
Natural Growth.

Speech is the result of slow process
of natural growth, and there is no
human race that does not possess it.
If in the present state of the world
some philosopher were to wonder
how man ever began to build those
houses, palaces and vessels which we
see around us we should answer that
those were not the things that man
began with. The savage who first
tied the branches of shrubs to make
himself a shelter was not an architect
and he who first floated on the trunk
of tree was not navigator. So it
is with speech, which grew from rude
beginnings. All the more intelligent
animals can express simple conditions
of mind both by sound and gesture.
The dog can emit four or five sounds
each fully understood by his compan-
ions. The common barnyard fowl has
from nine to twelve distinct vocal
sounds, all of which are comprehended
by its chickens and by other fowls.
There can be no doubt that the speech
of man arose, in the beginning, from
similar sources. Gesture speech was
frequent. Many sounds were lmlta-
tive. Purely conventional and non
initiative sounds were adopted for
convenience, just as deaf mutes now
invent arbitrary sounds to stand for
the names of friends, etc. 1t is not
precisely true, then. to say that Ian
guage begins where interiection ends"
However it originated, it is the condi-
tion of progress. As Romanes said:
"a manlike creature became human
by the power of speech" When did
speech originate? Romanes thinks
that our human ancestor may have
been in the age Of flint when he added
to gesture, vocal tones and facial
grimaces the power of speech. The
foregoing sentences are a very free
condensation of an address by Prof.
Cunningham.

The great storm of red dust that
swept up from Africa over Europe
hast year performed service for
which men of science should be-
grateful, by coloring the glaciers Of
the Alps on a grand scale, and thus
producing stratum in the vast ice
streams the red hue OF which will
render it recognizable for many
years. The Importance of this COLI
sists in the fact that by noting the
position of the dust-stained layer tho
movements of the glaciers can be
studied more accurately than would
be possible without the aid of so ex-
tensive and distinct marking.

LOG-DRIVER's WATERsCOPE.

calculation in leaping from one timber
to another means cold bath in the
lake, and if no companioni is at hand to
give him lift, his death is but ques-
ton of a few minutes.
In view of the fact that fatalities
attend the drive from the time it is
set afloat far up river, in May, until
it reaches Pea cove boom, 200 miles
away, in August or September, the
woodsmen have devised novel piece
of mechanism for finding bodies that
lie below the water.
The invention consists of n molasses
hogshead with one head removed and
a pane of window glass cemented
above hole cut in the remaining
head. The hogshead is set on end,
with the end containing the glass in
the water.
Two green and heavy logs are then
lashed to the sides of the hogshead,
causing it to float as deeply as possi-
BILE in the water. The logs are held
together by spiked cleats fore and aft,
so man can stand on the improvised
raft and scull it back and forth. AS
soon as the mechanism is completed
small man gets into the hogshead,
which is closely covered at the top, to
exclude the light.
When the man has been inside few
minutes his eyes become accustomed
to the darkness, so that by looking
through the pane in the bottom, the
only point where light is admitted. he
is enabled to see to depth of 20 and
80 feet and distinguish objects lying
upon the bottom of the waterway.
As the hogshead is capable of holding
but little air, the man cannot remain
inside for long. As soon as he comes
out he takes the scull oar while his
companion goes inside to scan the
depths. In this manner many bodies
have been recovered and watches lost
overheard and cant dogs, which have
slipped from the hands of careless
drivers, have been res tored to the light
of day.
The instrument which the lumber
men use has been called water-scope,
a term which is neither English or
Greek, though compounded from both
languages.
The name Of its inventor is unknown,
and there is no patent to protect the
idea. Woodsmen say it came into use
about 25 years ago, Previous to that
time the man who wished to spy upon
the floor of lakes and streams used
wooden tube made of four narrow
boards, the lower end being provided
with a light of glass.
AS boards are hard to find in the
wilds of Maine, while empty molasses
hogsheads are to be had at every lum-
ber camp, the hogshead water-scope
was no doubt adopted because it was
the only thing available. Since the
first one was so constructed no other
kind will be used.

PLANT PROPERLY SET.

above ground to wither and die; one
bud out is enough. Don't put in little,
short plants, but have them eight to
ten inches long, with plenty of roots.
Don't set them perpendicular, but as
in Fig. .. Don't leave the dirt loose
over them, but slap your foot down
over the roots and firm them.
Don't dig holes, but take the plant
in your left hand, thrust the right into
the loose soil, and lift the dirt you
see above the plant of Fig. 2. Just as
you raise it, thrust the plant under
the back of your hand. Then let the
dirt fall into the plant and set your
foot on it as you step to the next
plant. An expert will take bunch of
so plants in his right hand and a foot
ADJ in his right, and, lifting the dirt
with the adj, will plant as fast as
he walks. My boys can plant by hand
$50 feet of row in five minutes. Don't
plant the roots toward the south, else
the sun will hit the young plants hard.
Aside from raising the slips, l can
raise a bushel of sweet potatoes as
cheaply as ] can Irish potatoes-W. L.

AN IDEA FROM FRANCE.
Method of Extracting OIL from olive
Pulp Likely to Prove Useful
in United States

A method of extracting oil from
olive pulp which has long been in
vogue in Southern France is probably
available for vegetable oilcake also,
and is likely to prove useful in Amer.
lea. Consul General Skinner, writ
ing from Marseilles, describes it.,
in n letter to the state department.
The essential feature of the system
is that some chemical solvent, like
naphtha, is employed to withdraw
the oil from the pulp, and is then sep.
arated from the oil by distiilation.
Naphtha, gasolene or petroleum es-
sence,' as the French call it, was long
the favorite agent, and some of the
big oil manufacturers at Havre op-
crate their own petroleum refineries
in connection with their olive oil
works. But sulphide of carbon is
now coming into favor, because it is
non-explosive and cheaper. In Mar

COUNTRY IMPROVEMENT.
Cultivation OF the Benutifui Now
Goes Hand in Hand with Cuiti-
walton of the Useful.

There are places in the cnun-
try that will not admit of the word
Improvement, but as we travel about
among the farms we are compelled
to acknowledge that town improve
ment societies are very much needed.
At Idaho Falls, in Idaho, one of the
largest clubs in the state is the Vii
lage Improvement society, entirely
composed of women. The object of
these clubs should be to make the
streets clean and beautiful, to en-
courage private owners to keep their
lots and farms beautiful, and their
homes teachers of refinement. The
women of Clinton, \. Y, have placed
boxes in the streets to receive waste
papers and similar rubbish. The
Rural Art society, of the same town,
is planting linden trees, laying out
small parks and looking out for sim
liar enterprises, which, while not OF
little value, are not of much cost. In
one of the Ohio towns | notice that
two rival clubs are in the field. This
is perhaps a good idea, for competi-
ton in doing good works as well as
in business affairs. The present out
look is for a rallying of all enter
prises for the public welfare around
the schOOlhouse as a center. If this
can be brought about town organiza-
tion will mean something very diff
ferent from the present disorganlza-
ton, which gets the state charter. 1t
will place intelligence at the frcnt
and tend to disable the saloon and
similar Influences.
Meanwhile civic improvement goes
forward on parallel lines with coun-
try improvement. 1t seems to be ac-
cepted as an assured fact that cities
are to spread out hereafter over a
very much larger territory. The eX-
ecutive board of the American league
for Civic Improvement met recently
at Springfield, O. The league is to
hold a weeks convention at Chau-
tauqua Cor discussing all sorts of mu-
nicipal reforms. ~ is believed that
political reform and physical reform
must go on together. The Spokane
Floral association, which is a com
mittee of the State Federation on
Forestry and Outdoor Art, issues "A
year book showing how best to ad-
vance the study and the work of civic
Improvement, especially in the way
of planting flowers and trees. There
really is no way any longer of keep
ing civic art and rural art separated.
We believe the day is not far off
when every farmer will consider the
cultivation of the beautiful just as
much a part of his business as the
useful. Then our farms will be CON
nected together with long lines of
highways-mostly trolleyways-aIl
of which constitute extended public
parks.-E. p. Powell, in \. Y. Trib-
une.

THE WATER SCOPE.
A Man Standing in HOEshcad witA
Glass Bottom Can Scan Depths
of River or Lake,

The men who drive logs along the
swift rivers and across the shallow
lakes of northern Maine lead lives that
are full of peril. At the sharp turns
of the rushing streams, where logs are
prone to run aground and form dam
gerous and expensive jams, men stand
in the cold water waist-deep for hours
at time to fend off the oneoming tim
bers, and if one chances to meet Nth
a log under strong headway, he is fre-
quently swept from his feet and goes
down stream among the great sticks
of spruce and pine.
On the lakes, where the RATS have
to be propelled by headwork and oars,
the danger is none the less imminent.

and level, l take the double plows and
mark off the ground into rows, leaving
ridges two or three inches high, in
which | plant. This keeps the dirt
from covering the plants in cultiva-
ton, and a higher ridge than this is
unnecessary. Don't plant in the mud.
Don't water when planting. 1t does
more harm than good and is a waste of
time and labor. Before planting wet
the roots thoroughly and sprinkle rich
dirt on them till it adheres TO every
little rootlet. Plant them then before
they dry, and every plant viii live.
Don't plant too soon. Wait till you
see the blackberry bloom. Never
plant closer than is inches if you want
fine potatoes. Don't punch holes. Look
at Figs. l and 2 and see the right and
wrong way. Don't leave half the plant

Three Kinds of BacterI,

Bacteria are merely minute forms
of vegetable life. They do not, how.
ever, require contact with the earth
to grow. Some of them can grow
in nothing but air, and others in liq-
nid. Some feed upon the components
of the milk and change it into other
forms of solids and liquids. Some
live in acids. So when the milk is
rendered sour by one set of bacteria
another set at once begins work to
change even that sourness into some
thing else. These changes are indi-
Gated by the gases that come from
the milk and that give us the sense
of smell. There are three general
classes of bacteria that work in milk;
the harmless, the beneficial and the
harmful.-Farmers Review
