should be shaded by trees and the rocks
themselves should be partly covered
with plants growing in their crevices;
climbing and trailing plants are espe-
cially appropriate. 1t often happens
that rocks of suitable character may be
found already on the spot; and all that
is necessary is to improve what nature
has furnished, by the introduction of
plants, and by clearing away whatever
is offensive. Where the rocks are to be
furnished, they must be large and
massive-the larger the better-weigh-
ing a ton or more. On the banks of a
small stream rocks are always inter-
esting; and a small cascade dashing
among them, or a rill trickling down
their sides, in the midst of occasional
plants in flower, gives them a very
pleasant character.

NEAT SCENIC EFFECT.
When Properly Constructed, which,
However, LIS Rarely the Case, a
Rockery Is Beautiful.

An attractive scenic effect may be
given to the surroundings of home by
a rockery, planted with variety of
erns. There may be arranged the deli
,ate maidenhair and the wax leaf, dark
green ferns, which retain their color
all winter, and when the warm south
winds lead ones thoughts to the coming
spring.
Being nearly cut off from the ground

from dryness unless well cared for, and

on the north side of the house among
the pines or arbor vitae, or in some
nook protected by naples or elms.
Many wild flowers that love the shade
will be found appropriate to grace the
rockery, such as anemones, dog-tooth
violets and lady slippers.
Dark, angular, moss-covered stones
from the woodland may be piled up in
an irregular way, with moist leaf-mold

that the soil mass shall extend to the

roots, thus aiding nature in maintaining
moisture. 1t will have to be well wa
tered at first, until capillary action is
established with the subsoil. To give
a natural effect to the whole, masses of
stone may be scattered about in hap
hazard way, and planted with beauty of
the woods. Too systematical an ar
rangement is to be guarded against if
the native grace of the home of this
class of plants is to be preserved.
The editors of the Country Gentle
man emphasize the concluding sentence
of the above article. AS general
thing, they have just one suggestion to
persons about to construct artificial
rockwork-don't! In nine cases out of
ten the result will be something like

YANKEE INVENTIONS.

American ContriVnnce.

Admiral Dewey was a prominent figure at
the Saratoga races. Uusually he occupied
box One afternoon little party OF farmers
came up to snake hands with him, and there
after, naturally, the talk turned to agricul-
ture, says the Boston Post.
When was in the Philippines" said Ad-
miral Dewey, IAN American resident brought
me, one day, a Chinese paper. He said this
paper would interest me because 1t con-
tanned an account of an American invention.
Then, with a smile, ne translated a para
graph that ran something like this;
1.-The ingenuity of the Yankee is typiiied
well in a hens nest that he has recently in
vented and patented. This, nest increases
the laying capacity of the hens to an un-
limited degree. In the bottom of 1T there IS
a trap door, governed by delicate spring.
The hen lays an egg, the weight of whicn
causes the trap door TO open, wnereupou the
egg drops down into a subterranean com
partment, and the door closes very swiftly
and silently again. The hen gets up, turns
to look at the egg, but sees none there. SO
she decides that she must be. mistaken in
thinking she had laid, and she sits down
again and deposits another egg, which, like
its predecessor, disappears. The process
continues indefinitely.

A NEW MILK pRoDuU9.
IL Is Called GnlnIith and Ii Hard
Enough for Knife Handles
and Like objects.

At a hygienic milk show In Hamburg,
recently, there were displayed boxes,
combs, knife handles, cigar holders and
numerous other things which seemed to
have no special connection with the
main idea of the exhibition. Some of
them, like chessmen, we're deliberately
carved, while others rivaled the rues of
marble, though weighing much less
than that substance. Upon inquiry the
visitor discovered that these objects
were made out of solidified milk, or
milestone. The technical name
adopted for the material is "galalith."
For 15 or 20 years inventors have tried
to work up casein so that it could be
utilized in this fashion. In Germany
there is a poor market for skinned
milk. What cannot be sold to the sugar
or milk factories is generally fed to pigs
and cattle. If substitute for ivory or
ebony could be made out of 1t, there
fore, this refuse would become more
profitable. First one chemical and then
another was added, and at times the de-
sired qualities seemed to have been OBJ
tained. Then this product would turn
out to be too brittle, or show tendency
to swell and warp when wet, or betray
some other deficiency. One of the
processes tried was the addition of for
maldehyde, a well known modern
germicide, but the method of combina-
ton was not successful
The makers of galalith, it seems, have
improved on this last mentioned ex-
pertinent. They use formaldehyde, but
employ other chemicals also. Tho
American consul general at Coburg
says
ITO produce material which could
be used for handles of table knives, they
proceeded as follows: Dissolved casein
was given a dark color by the addition
of SCOT, and, with the help of a metallic
salt (acetate of lead) a slate colored
precipitate was obtained. This was
mixed with water and the thin pap filled

The water becoming absorbed by the
cloth, the pap contracted into uni.

was placed in a solution of formalde'
hyde, and after being dried a product
resulted which in luster and color wa.

terial is produced which the inventors
have protected by numerous patents.
