small so as to choke. The opening at the
bottom on the face side is made the
shape of an inverted V, running to the
back of the opening. They build two
of these side by side, only having par
tition between them; then draw one
while the other is burning, and that
keeps the men employed all the time.
One single arch costs about SITS, or
double one $500. There is wood laid in
the throat sufficient to start the fire;
then put in layer of coal and then of
limestone, continuing until it gets to the
top of the opening. This is worked in
this way when it is done for general
business, but if it is only for a farmer
who owns his own stone and wants lime
for his own use he can do it much
cheaper and without building the kiln
by laying upon the ground floor Of
logs and timber, enough to make good
bed; then lay on the wood and stone the
same as in the kiln and build it up as a
hay stack but fatter at the top, as you
get in more stone in that way, or it can
be built long and not round as wished.
This is the way for home use; 5000 to
10000 bushels can be burnt in heap of
this kind. People use coal (buckwheat)
here for the purpose, but suppose the
same can be accomplished in using wood
and will be cheaper if wood is handy.
The cut shows the mode of building.
The kiln built as describe will furnish
its own draft and regulate itself. 1t
takes about two or three days and nights
to burn it and needs little attention il

The bishop of London whose worl

PAY OF PROFESSORS.
Colleges Pay ProportiOnately Less
Now Than They Did Fifty
Years Ago.

Whether it is, or is not, in accord with
the eternal fitness of things that college
professors should be kept poor, the fact
is that they are so, says the Syracuse
Post-Standard. One who had studied
The subject with some care was heard
20 assert not long since that he failed to
see how college teacher could marry
without skimping his laundry bills.
Hugo Munsterberg, of Harvard, dreams
of day when American professors
shall be paid fisherman professors are,
$25, 900 a year or Whereabouts. To most
people this seems not merely a dream,
but something very close to what is
vulgarly termed a ''pipedream," i. e., a
hallucination induced by some power
full narcotic.
The Harvard Graduates Magazine
goes so far as to declare that the college
professors of the present day are more
poorly paid than the college professors
of half a century ago when the president
of Harvard got $4,000 a year, and James
Russell Lowell $1,000 for teaching
bellies lettres and bringing up the Cam
bridge youths in the paths of French
and Spanish languages and literature,
The best Harvard professors of to-day
receive $1,000 year at the elimination
of their career, but in purchasing power
this is not the equivalent of the $4,000
which the best men were paid in 1856,
says the Harvard Graduates Magazine.

Starting steers ON Grain.

In starting steers on feed there are
several methods in vogue. Some feed
ers give heavy grain ration right from
the START using pound of meal for
every 100 pounds of live weight daily.
Other men start the steers on a third
of a pound to every 100, increasing grad
ually until two-thirds of a pound is
reached. The latter plan usually gives
the cheapest grains, and half cent
gained On every pound means a consid-
cradle profit for big bunch of steers

Good and Bad COmposts.

Composts are necessary in the finer
processes of gardening, but they should
be made in clearly manner, and be
kept free from contamination. There is
nothing better than compounds of clean
-sods free from weed seeds and manure
from grain or forage-fed animals, mixed
in varying proportions, and welIworked
together as decomposition progresses.
1t takes about two years to make a first
class article, but much may be accom-
plished in one season by frequent turn

THE INDIAN PROBLEM.
Chief Factors In It's Solution Are In
dustrial Education and Disper-
sion Among Whites.

Miss Estelle Reel, superintendent of
Indian schools, was recently telling
Washington Post reporter a good deal
of what was being done for the young
boys and girls of that race through
out the United States, reports that pa
per.
There is no sort Of doubt" said she,
"of the good progress the young gen.
GRAFTON of Indians is making toward
higher civilization. Not long since was
out in South Dakota, inspecting the day
schools on the Rosebud and Pine Ridge
reservations, and was gratified to see
how we'll the young Sioux are doing.
The boys are getting not only fair de-
gree of book learning, but they are be-
ing taught in practical way that old
est of occupations-ag agriculture. There
is a garden connected with each school,
and they are shown how to plant and
cultivate potatoes, beans, cabbages and
various other vegetables. Wherever ir-
rigation is feasible they are shown its
application.
THE young girls are instructed in all
the branches of housekeeping, cooking,
sewing, mending and the like. They
take to these arts readily and are much
cleverer with their fingers than white
children. The sewing of some Of the
girls is really beautiful. While excelling
in manual dexterity, the Indian children
are slow to comprehend abstract ideas.
They can be taught to cipher very we'll,
but mental arithmetic puzzles them sad
ly. This, in my opinion. is additional
reason for emphasizing their need of
training along practical lines. 1t is far
better to teach the rising generation
how to make crop and keep the house
decently than to employ them in pars-
ing sentences or studying history. They
take interest only in the tangible and the
concrete, something they can perceive
with the eye, and to which they have in
way been used from infancy.
There is no longer any opposition to
the children attending the government
schools on the part of the parents In
fact, the old folks now gladly bring their
offsring to the schoolhouses. and are
proud Of their scholastic attachments.
The solution of the Indian problem may
not be easy, but in time it will be &C.
eomplished. The two chief factors to
that end is this industrial education and
after that the dispersion of the Indians
among the white people throughout
every part of the United States.''

COLORS IN BIRDS EGGS.
Secret of Nature Which II q Pose,
Even to Men of Scientific
Education.

III you are interested in national
problems" said a man who likes to
pore over cases in the Museum of Nat
ural History, according to the New
York Sun, heres very simple one,
but you can find in it all the food for
speculation and theory you want, as
scores of eminent thinkers have done
already.
What is natures reason for the color
and marking of birds eggs, and in the
process of evolution how has it worked
out? There must be a reason for their
infinite diversity, and it can hardly be
an aesthetic one
THAT looks simple enough, yet the
most advanced naturalists haven't been
able to puzzle it out. All they can say
with any confidence is that the all-per-
vading instinct, of distrust and need for
protection is exhibited in eggshells as
in more important things, and the main
idea in their. color scheme has been to
secure safety IN harmony with their
surroundings. But even that has ex-
captions.
Take the doves. Their eggs are white
and are plainly visible in the flimsy
nest, though the nest is built in a tree,
and the eggs should be of a darker
tint, to follow the general rule.
Nov, that, I believe, has been rea-
soned out in this way: The, original
doves were rock doves, and they laid
white eggs in conformity with the nat
ural law which ordains that color for
most species of birds nesting in the
dark, so that the female might read
lily see them when she comes into the
gloom.
"You find traces of this early instinct
in the fact that wherever there is de-
serted rabbit warren you will find doves
taking advantage of it to build their
nests in the abandoned burrows But
whether in holes or trees, the nests still
contain white eggs, which nature or
dained for their rock dwelling ances-
tors.
"Owls lay pale eggs for the same rea-
son. They breed in the dark.
ION the other hand the ducks, which,
so far as anybody knows, have always
frequented the most open places, also
lay pale eggs without markings. But
with them you will find greater tend
ency to revert to olive browns or sandy
tints, the very color of the sand and
shingles on which the eggs are laid.
"The eggshells of the plovers and
similar beach breeders are exactly
ground color, just as the partridge and
pheasant eggs are the color of fallen
leaves. And grouse, quail and moor
fowl have eggs matching exactly in
color with the brown stems of heather
and the pine tree scales among which
they lie.
But there are blue and white and
spotted eggs you can't explain. At
least can't satisfactorily. Anybody
may start his own theories on the SUBJ
ject, and find the problem endless. Solve
it correctly, and think you will solve
at the same time half a dozen other
mysteries which have puzzled great
scientists on this queer problem filled
planet"

Dry Soils for Poultry.

A sandy, dry soil is best for poultry,
as such soils, if very porous, will be
cleansed by the rains carrying down the
filth into the soil, and because there is
less mud and dampness in winter, says
P. H. Jacobs. Nearly all of the large
duck farms are on sandy soil, and as
the use of such soil for the raising OF
poultry is profitable, there should be
an opportunity for those who have
be made to pay otherwise to devote
them to poultry, especially if near mar
kets that can be conveniently reached.

USE OF THE SAND-BOX.
Employed by the Ancient EEyptians
I'm Handling Stones Of Great
Weight.

Many centuries ago in Egypt it was
customary to bury the mummies of dis
inguished persons in a sarcophagus
which was protected by an enormous
stone slab. For long time, says the
Engineering Record, the manner in
which these slabs were handled was
the cause of much speculation among
scientists. A few years ago, as men,
toned In the Record. of September 6,
1902, it was found that these huge blocks
of stone were lowered into place by the
use of sand boxes. The cover stone
was first held on rude masonry piers
until the sarcophagus could be placed
below 1t in recess in the floor of the
| chamber. Enormous lugs on the slab,
projecting into vertical recesses in the
walls Of the chamber, were then propped
on vertical timbers, which rested at
their base in holes filled with sand. A
rude arrangement of orifices enabled
this sand to be removed in q uniform
manner
When everything was ready, the tenn
porary masonry supports were taken
from below the stone, the -orifices were
opened, and the sand was allowed to
flow out. In this way the slab settled
slowly into place and the tomb was
sealed against all. intrusion, except that
of the modern Archaeological, with his
ample facilities for. excavation
So far as is known at present, the
sand boxes in tombs near the pyramid
