sided.

Ihe matter of granting lease of the
city reserve to the Tallahassee South

agreed to rent the two stalls in dis
pute as one at a rental of sS5 Der

Islands, sold favorable winds to sea.
men at the small price of Cd. vessel.
For many years witches were suppos-
ed to sell the wind. The Finlanders
and Laplanders made quite a trade
by selling winds. The old women,
after being well paid by the credulous
sailors, used to knit three magical
knots; the buyer was told he would
have a good gale when he united the
first knot, the second knot would
bring strong wind, and the third a
severe tempest. At one time winds

Birds Part in Agriculture.

There are many birds which play an
important part in relation to agricul-
ture, but people generally dwell on the
harm rather than the good they do in
the field and forest Whether bird
is injurious or not depends entirely
upon what it eats, and we should not
reach conclusions too quickly because
birds are seen in numbers in the field
or orchard, and think they must there
fore be doing harm. AS a matter OF
fact, there are hut few birds which
are really harmful, the vast majority
Of them proving by their true life hah-
its to be of untold value to agricul-
ture. If all the insectivorous birds
were destroyed, it would be almost I'M
possible to raise crops or fruit in few
years thereafter--Atlanta Journal,

s.oel.on wro.e Poor ros.ry.

The late Frank Stockton never
could write successful poem. In
this connection the novelist frequently
told a good story on himself. In his
youth, in conjunction with bis brother
John, he wrote many poems with
which he afflicted the editors OF vari-
Gus Canadian periodicals. The efru-
sions always came back. The editor
of one magazine was an especial tar
get of the Stocktons, but as none OF
their poems was ever accepted the
brothers came to the conclusion that
the editor had no conception Of good
poetry.
To prove their belief they hunted
I'D and DISPATCHED to him an ode little
known, from Milton. Within two
days they received a check and let
ter of thanks. "I came to the con-
clusion that that editor knew poetry
when he saw 1t after ALL" Mr.. Stock
ton used to say, "and gave up trying
to write it."

The Cocoa Crop.

Cocoa was grown on the island OF
Trinidad as early as 1900, in considera-
Bile quantities. The cultivation Of
cocoa consists largely of draining the
land, keeping down the underground
OF bush and weeds and trimming the
trees. The flowers occur in clusters
on the main branches and on the trunk
Of the trees, usually only one of each
cluster reaching maturity. The fruit
is a hard pod six or seven inches long,
resembling a cucumber, growing from
the trunk or larger branches, and
looks very much as though it Were
artidcially attached. Buds, blossoms
and fruit, in all stages, occur side by
side. and ripened fruit is harvested at
all times of the year. The main crop
however, natures in the dry season
and is usually harvested in February,
only small quantities ripening during
the remainder Of the year.-Merchants'
Review.

Waterfowl in OHM.

For numbers, and perhaps for vari'
ETY., no waterfowl equal those OF China,
The air is simply black with them over
the rivers and marshes near the coast
at fight time. Ornament, even in
these ornamental birds, is carried to
the extreme in some of the Chinese
varieties. The mandarin teal is the gay
est as well as the most fancitully
plumed of all ducks. Nor are the fish
Of the Flowery Land in any way be-
hind the birds in gorgeous and striking
color The Chinese are perfectly aware
Of the artistic rarity and value Of all
these creatures. They use them and
the ideas they suggest TO the best ad'
vantage, and that Is why Chinese gar
dens are far the most beautiful in the
world.-London Spectator.

printing the Numbers on Bank Notes.

The numbers on bills and bank notes
are printed by very ingenious mech
ansm, which makes it impossible to
commit any fraud by printing two
notes of the same number. The ap-
paratus consists Of a series of brass
discs, OF which the rim is divided by
channels into projecting compartments,
each containing a figure. The numbers
/ to 0 having been printed in the course
Of the revolution Of the first disc, the
second disc then presents the figure
1, which, combining with the 0 Of the
first disc, forms the number 10. The
second disc then remains stationary
until, in the course of the revolution
of the first disc, the numbers l to 10
have been printed, when it presents
the figure ,, and does not again move
until another revolution Of the first
disc completes the numbers 20 to 20,
Thus the two discs proceed until 90
notes have been numbered. when the
third disc comes into operation, and,
with the first two, produces 100. Con-
seQuently, the first disc performs 100
revolutions to 10 of the second and
of the third. The notes may be nun.
bered independently by this process,
without the possibility of error, the
machine meanwhile being its own
check.
