YELLOWSTONE PARK.
7ne Meets with NATURES Surprises
There mt Every Turn.

Probably no area of equal extent
contains so great number of natural
objects capable of arousing wonder,
enthusiasm and awe as are found
crowded togcther i'm the park Its
many scenic features of restful charm,
found alongside areas of never ending
activity. with weird, grotesque sur
roundings, surprise one Mt every turn.
Yellowstone lake, the largest sheet of
water in America mt so high an eleva-
tion. with It's indcnted shore line and
40 square miles of surface dotted
with forcstcd islands. presents to low
crs of nature series of picturesque
landscapes uncqualed upon any other
inland waters. The far famed falls
of the Yellowstone, with their unique
and marvellous rock setting. and the
Grand canyon, with its majestic out
lines and brilliant coloring. are worthy
of all the praise bestowed upon them
and merit separate descriptive arti-
Gle. More than score of waterfalls
and cascades, some of them Of ex-
quislte grace and beauty, pour the wa
tors Of mountain torrents and plateau
lakes from the uplands to the low
lands. Many of them well deserve
visit, but their fame is obscured by
the real marvels Of the Yellowstone.
Again, the fossil forests, so seldom
visited, tell n most Interesting story of
buried plant world, Of explosive erup-
tions of mud volcanoes and the grad
ual piling up of erupted lavas and
ashes. All these, cntlcing rs they
seem, appear insignificant when COM
pared with the hydrothermal phenome-
ma displayed in geysers, boiling
springs, hot lakes, solfataras and num-
berless fumaroles, which have gained
for the park the appellation of the won
derland of America. Unquestionably
it is this hot water treatment which
the region has undergone that has de-
veloped most of the objects of interest
and made the park famous the world
over. Even the lake owes much of its
nttractiveness TO its hot springs and
paint pots. and the Grand canyon
would lack its brllllnncy of coloring
and its scuiptured buttressed walls
but for the long continued action of
hot as well as cold water.-Arnold

Next to the wine, carbonic acid forms
the most important part of cham

requires great care to prevent dlscolora-

too much acid and colorlng matter. but
considerable sugar.
In order that the grapes should not
become warm, thereby fermentlng pre-
Oaturely, picking is done in the early
morning hours The grapes are then
placed In the press at once and the
juice squeezed out very gently After

CONDENSED MILK.
Its Discovery Was brought About by
womnn's Experiments

How and when was condensed milk
discoveredT said milk dealer. "Well,
that is an easy question, known to all
venders of the article.
1T Glanced that in 1854 the journey
from New orleans TO New York was
considerable trip. a certain lady
Mrs. Albert Cashingor - had Il sick
baby, and on account of that condensed
milk wus discovered
Mrs. Cashngor's baby was so Ill
that she realized that IL would be nee
essary TO make trip TO New York to
receive expert medical attention If she
hoped TO save the chlld's life. But to
travel that long distance the child had
TO have milk. Milk wouldn't keep
fresh more than few hours. SO there
she was, kept back from making the
trip merely because she could not sup
ply the child with fresh milk.
I'm her despair she began to expert
ment to see IL she could not preserve
milk the same as she did Jelly or any
thing else. She tried several different
methods and finally hit upon II plan
which seemed to give satisfaction. SO
she preserved several big jars of the
stuif, put It upon sailing vessel and
made the trip. The child fed upon the
milk and was nourished.
"In New York several men learned
of her discovery. They tried to make
some of the condensed milk in the man
ner that she had told them, but failed.
They followed her to New Orleans, and
there she unwittingly unfolded her
valuable secret. On the island of Gal
weston these men started small fac
tory. and there the first salable con-
densed milk was made.
"The woman died poor. The manu-
facturers made n fortune. Now con-
densed milk is sold in every part of
the world."--Louisville Herald.

Shade Grown Vegetables.

A few years ago the Connecticut eX-
pertinent station and the department
of agriculture at Washington conduct
ed experiments on the results OF
shading growing tobacco plants. Some
important results seemed to be achiev-
ed. Last year the Rhode Island sta
ton undertook to find out whether
such shading would be beneficial in
the growing of certain vegetables
which are more or less difficult to raise
during the hot sumemr months. In adj
dition to the better growth looked for
| it was hoped that plant diseases and
injurious insects might be more easily
kept in check. 1t is of course impos-
sible to gain definite conclusion from
such an experiment with only two sea-
sons to judge by, especially as the last
two summers were rather cool, con-
dition which would serve to reduce any
difference which there might be be-
tween shaded and unshaded growth.
However, there are some results
which have been quite manifest dur
ing both seasons and which may be of
general interest. During both seasons
Itransplanting of the different vege-
tables has been more easily accom-
plished on the shaded ground than on
the unshaded. The tent covering
broke the force of rains and the ground
was not packed so hard under the
tent as outside. The moisture was
confined by the covering and the soil
did not bake so readily inside as out
side.
Lettuce formed leaves faster inside,
and at first looked far superior, but
headed better and showed less tend.
ency to run to seed outside. Cunlife
under the tent was more free from
insects, especially the maggot, the
yield was greater, and the product was
whittier than that from unshaded
ground. Celery matured more quick
ly and the weight untrimmed was
greater outside than inside the tent.
but the stocks were longer and the
amount of marketable celery was con-
lderably greater from the shaded
ground. The quality also seems to be
a little better from the shaded ground.
AS already said, these results cannot
be considered as establishing any del
mite conclusions. Further study will
be necessary, in order to lind out if
the results of the last two seasons can
be set down as typical, ard if they
