OAK APPLES.
Forms of a Disease Propagated by .
Minute GalIny.

The little brown balls popularity
known as "oak apples" which may Of
ten be seen growing in clusters upon
oak twigs, are not fruit, as some sup
pose, but forms of a disease which re-
suits from the attacks of a minute
sailfiy (cynips). This little insect, a
distant cousin of wasps and bees, is
provided with complicated piercing
ovipositor in her tail, by means of
which she makes little holes in the
tender shoots Of the oak, laying an egg
in each, and at the same time introduc-
Ing drop of irritant fluid.
The substance of the shoot is thus
stimulated to unnatural growth and
produces an oak apple or "gall," which
may be regarded as a sort of vegetable
tumor and serves as a home for the
grub which matches out of the egg.
This can easily be seen by cutting
open a young gall, but in an old one
the insect has escaped by driving a
tunnel to the outside.
The oak is infested by many other
kinds of gall. Some are tufted, 9TH
ers look like currants, and others again
are the little brown "oak spangles"
seen on the undersides Of the leaves.
Each kind Of gallfy leads to the pro-
duction of a different kind of gall

PRESENCE OF MIND.
The Way Two Englishmen Captured
Four Hundred PrisonePs

Toward the close of the peninsular
war 400 prisoners were captured by
John Colborne, afterward Field Mar
shal Lord Seaton. Colborne, who was
wounded at Talavera, had been dis
abled for some time, but in 1913 he
was in active service again, and when
Wellington's army crossed the frontier
into France he performed what was in
deed the most amazing feat of his ca
reer.
When riding, with no comrade but
the famous Sir Henry Smith, separated
from his column, he saw 400 French
soldiers passing along ravine below
him. "The only way was to put a
good face on the matter" he wrote.
80 l went up to them, desiring them
to surrender. The officer, thinking, of
course, the column was behind me, sur
rendered lis sword, saying theatricalIy.
'Je vous rends cette epee, qui a bien
fait son devoir.' q surrender this
sword, which has done it's duty well.)
The 400 followed his example," Sir
Henry Smith used to declare that he
had never seen such cool presence of
mind as Colborne displayed on this oc-
caSion

BOWER BUILDERS.
Birds That Construct Gardens For
Their own Enjoyment.

The1r own enjoyment.
There are FIVE different bower birds
three in Australia, the regent, the satin
and the spotted; one in the Papuan is
lands, the catbird, and one in New
Guinea. Their brilliant plumage is
golden yellow, glossy black or spotted
brown, often with rose tinted collar
Their bowers are in no sense nests
but miniature gardens, adapted for en-
joyment and courtship and set in the
eye of the sun. A pavement Of equal
sized pebbles is arranged, and number
less twigs are thrust firmly between
them in two parallel rows, inclined to
each other, inclosing an avenue about
yard long and several inches wide.
To decorate this arbor gay feathers,
ruddy berries, pearly shells, bleached
bones, even watches, knives and other
glittering objects, are tastefully placed
in and around the entrance.
The New Guinea bird, still more of q
gardener, constructs miniature conical
summer house, with internal gallery.
Before this is a meadow Of moss, kept
free from grass, dust and leaves, on
which bright flowers and fruit are dai.
ly offered by the enamored male bird
to his mate.

THE WORK OF NovIcEs.
snventiOns That Have Worked Won
ders In GIassmaking.

ders In G1assmaking.
In 1927 carpenter of Sandwich,
Mass, wanting piece of glass of Q
particular size and shape, conceived
the idea that the molten metal could be
pressed into any form, much the same
as lead might be, writes William R.
Stewart in the Cosmopolitan. Up to
that time all glassware had been
blown either offhand or In a mold, and
considerable skill was required, and
the process was slow. The glass man
ufacturers laughed at the carpenter,
but he went ahead and built a press,
and now the United States is the
greatest pressed glassware country In
the world.
In 1890 novice in the plate glass In
dustry, Henry Fleckner of Pittsburg,
whose only knowledge of glass had
been acquired in window glass fac
tory, invented an annealing 'lehr," the
most important single improvement
ever introduced IN plate glass manu-
facture. In three hours by the lehr the
same work is done which under the old
kiln system required three days.
About the same year Philip Argobast
of Pittsburg, also novice in glass
making, invented process by which
bottles and jars may be made entirely
by machinery, the costly blow oven
process being avoided and the expense
Of bottle making reduced one-half.
