Sounds That Cannot Be Heard.

A stone thrown into the water pro-
duces ripples. In the same way If you
strike something, as a drum, there are
ripples in the air, and the disturbed at
mosphere reaches the ear as a sound.
The slower the ripples or vibrations
the deeper the sound.
The deepest audible sound in mu-
steal instrument is that of the great
thirty-two foot pipe of the organ of st.
PauPs, which gives sixteen vibrations
second. That is probably the deepest
sound that the human ear can catch.
You listen to it, rolling through the sa-
cred edifice like distant thunder, and a
little thought will enable you to realize
that there may be sounds inaudible to
you, but which you can feel. The deep
tone pervades your entire being until
you have some doubt whether you real
ly hear or feel it.
The thunder of the cataract of Mag
ara produces a note with exactly half
the number of the big organ pipe-that
is, eight vibrations. You cannot hear
the note, but it can be recorded by deli
rate instruments and you can feel each
of the eight waves beat against your
ear drum. The great volcanic eruption
of Krakatoa produced a musical note
of four vibrations q second. 1t was
registered by meteorological instru-
ments in different parts of the world.

or below 1t or the droppings Of the am
imals as they roamed over the field in
summer. They are not lacking so
much in vegetable matter as in the
mineral elements Of fertility. They
may have n greater amount of root
growth than the crop upon them
would lead. one to suspect-that Is, they
are what is often called rootbound, and
this must be remedied in the first place
by breaking up these roots.
A good harrow run over these fields
will do this, the cutaway or disk har-
row being the best. but a sharp tooth
ed and heavy spike harrow will do
very good work If it is run over 1t sew
eral times. Barely scratching the sur
face is not enough, but 1t needs to be
scariffed as deep as it will allow, and
If ii is gone over five or six times the
last narrowing will be of more benefit
than all that have been given before.
For the New England climate and
soil we think the best time to do this
work is in the spring, while the ground
is yet soft from the spring thaw. Far
ther south or on the clay soils OF the
west it may be done in the fall, but
in either case we would sow upon ft
clover seed in the spring, using ten to
fifteen pounds of the small red clover
and about one-half that amount of the
white clover. The coming in of other
grass we should trust to the seed al
ready in the soil of the grasses that
are already there, though certainly it
would do no harm to add blue grass
and red top seed If one feels warrant
ed to pay the expense.
We started to tell how a permanent
pasture may be made more productive
at small expense, yet we think that the
improvement would warrant an ex-
penditure for fertilizer to the extent
of 200 pounds Of acid phosphate or Of
fine ground bonemeal and 100 pounds
of muriate Of potash to the acre when
the seed was sown, and IL the soil is
very light this amount might be con-
siderably increased, or doubled at least,
to the advantage Of the owner.

Many theories have been advanced
TO account for softness in pork. Some
have ascribed it to the character of the
food, others to undue forcing of the
pig in the earlier stages of growth, to
killing while still immature, to the
breed of the pig, to the locality in
which it is grown, and even the phase
Of the moon when the pig is slaughter

Shut of the central experimental

Mr.. Shut finds that softness slight re-

accompanied by oiliness. and he draws
the following conclusions from a series
of experiments in feeding:
That the one great controlling factor
in the quality of the pork of finished

The Last Execution Mt Tyburn.

The last execution on a permanent
gallows in London took place at Ty-
burn on Nov. Z, 17S3, the malefactor
being one John Austin, condemned for
highway robbery with violence. For
centuries Tyburn had been the scene
of executions for criminals condemned
in MiddleseX, and before the erection
of the permanent gibbet occasional
hangings had taken place, record exist
ing of the hanging of Judge Tressilian
and Nicholas Brembre at that place as
far back as 1888.
The gallows consisted of three posts,
and around it were open galleries, re-
sembling race stands, in which seats
were let. On account of the disgrace
full scenes on the road, executions were
transferred in 1888 to the area in front
of Newgate, despite the objections of
residents, and on Dec of that year
the first hanging took place there.

Making the Young owl Work

Apropos of the woodcock a certain
man of deep powers of observation
says that the big barn owl lays only
one egg at time and after Matching
that lays another. so that the first
young bird may keep the second egg
warm while its mother is out foraging.
Thus the entire family help in the
Matching, for the head of the house Is
often found sitting with his mate.
From three to seven eggs are laid, and.
as incubation begins with the first one.
we can easily understand that young
birds are found in the same nest with
fresh eggs. Do you know any other
parents that put their children to work
as soon as they are born?-New York
