USE OF THE WISHBONE:
Its Importance IL shown in the Turn
ing of Birds While on the
Wing.

At the last meeting of the Boston
Scientific society, c. J. Maynard, an
authority on birds, spoke of what
proved to be very timely topic:
why there is a Wish-bone" To be-
gin with. says the Boston Transcript,
the speaker deplored. the lack of
knowledge that exists regarding the
structures of the birds, internally.
For example, said he, 1T is doubtful
if five men in the United States know
much about the anatomy of the COM
mon robin. The ornithologists know
all about external characters, the
color, arrangement and number of the
feathers. methods of fight, habits, and
the like, but exceedingly little about
the interiors of the birds they study"
Classiflcations have been made large
anatomy must be very important
part of the subject. He had himself
begun with the anatomy, and more
than 20 years ago, in some of his pub
locations, he dared to separate the owls
from hawks. They have been placed
in the same order, and have so re-
manned till very recently Now others
have separated them even more wide
ly than Mr.. Maynard did SO long ago.
His deductions were from a knowledge
of the anatomy.
The wishbone is called by scientists
the furcula, and is in reality the union
of what are in man the two separate
collarbones. These in the birds re-
ceive the brunt of the strokes of the
wing that turn the creature in it's
flight. Few realize the strength Of
stroke of the birds wing. 1t is said
| that swan has been known to break
mans leg by a blow of it's wing,
and in like manner the wingbeatings
of the larger birds are dangerous if
they strike the head or face. If, there
fore, large bird is in the habit OF
making sudden turns to right or left
in its flight it must be fitted with a
wishbone competent to withstand the
great strain of the wing-stroke on one
side, with no special action on the
other side. For this reason we find
In the eagle and like birds of quickly
turning flight furcula that is per-
feet Roman arch, widely at variance
with the gothic arch, which is the
shape of the wishbone of our common
fowls. The eagles furcula is a solid
rounded arch, everywhere equally
strong, and not developing those
points of weakness that make our
sport of breaking the wishbone pos
sible.

Radium and the Sun.

Prof. George H. Darwin suggests that
the discovery of radio-activity renders
it possible to increase the estimated age
Of the sun, and the period during With
it will continue to furnish light and heat
to the earth, from 10 to 20 times. Thus,
instead of being 100000, 900 years old,
the sun may be 1,oo0,Ooo,000 or 2,0oo,-
0O0, 900 years old, and it's future duration
may be 100000 or 200, 900, 900 years in
place Of 100000. Knowing as we now
do, Prof. Darwin says, that an atom of
matter can contain an enormous store
of energy In itself, we have no right to
assume that the sun Is incapable of liber-
ating atomic energy to degree at least
comparable with what it would liberate

Wise POrkers.

there are exceptions in the hog family.
1t seems that mill company raises and

and hogs around their wood COMPS.
Last season several families of pigs
first saw daylight at Redmond's camp,
but before thsy were many weeks old
they were moved with their mothers
some two miles down to the landing
camp. Here they were kept until this
fall, the old ones having gone the way
that fat hogs generally go. A few days
since these pigs of the past, the hogs of
to-day, got out of their pens and started

CURRENT KILLS INSECTS
EMpl0ynae nt of Electricity in Rid

Worms and Bugs.

The electric current used by an engi-
neer of Munich to clear fields of worms
and noxious insects. This engineer,
Hugo Helberger, was not the first to ex-
pertinent in this direction. Several
years ago an attempt was made in Fret
burg, Switzerland, to destroy the phyl-
loxera by means of electrically produced
ozone, but it was not commercially sue
cessful. A little later, in 1901, an Ital-
ian, Palumbo Domenico, devised meth.
cd of killing insects by causing them to
complete an electric circuit with their
bodies. In spite Of this previous work,
we are told in an article in the Scientific
American Supplement, Herr Helbergel
stumbled accidentally on his method,
the experimental drying by electricity OF
an ingot mold built directly in the
ground. Says the writer:
After the current had been turned on

"FOllOwing up these observations, Mr..
Helberger undertook several tests calcu-
lated to prove or disprove his hastily
conceived theory. Among others, he
buried in the ground a bar of brass about
half a centimeter thick, and connected
1t with one pole of an electric conductor
carrying current of 40 volts. Upon
turning on the current, the results of this
arrangement far exceeded that what he
had only CHANGED to observe in connec-
ton with the iEgot of gold, for within a
radius OF two meters every worm or in

circle. Carrying the idea further, he
now increased the electrified circle by
planting other brass electrodes in the
earth. and. in shorter time than it takes
to tell it, freed the surrounding terrain
of all that it contained in the nature OF
crawling or creeping things. In itself
the current is very small and weak, only
the tension must be high.
These experiments opened to the
thoughtful mind wide field II the
practical application of the electric fluid
to the earth should work such wonders
upon uncultivated ground, what might
not be the benefit which would accrue
to agriculture in general If applied upon
vaster or at least most extended
scale? Surely, he thought, plant, the

Dairy Work as n Science

Dairy schools are now in operation in
many states, and short courses of in
struction in butter and cheese making
are given at some of the agricultural COL
leges. 1t was long ago demonstrated
that inferior butter could not compete
with oleomargarine, and that good but
ter of choice quality could always be sold
at good price. The fact has also been
demonstrated that there was much to
learn in making good butter, and that
cleanliness and the proper management
of the milk were essential in producing
the choice article. There has been
wonderful advance in methods of butter
making, and oleomaragine is response
Bile for it. Consumers will not purchase
the counterfeit article if they can get the
genuine, and poor butter is as much a
counterfeit as any other imitation

Tree Is inches in circumference at base.

This variety has continued to be produc-

from two trees in 1899. Fruit of good
