To prevent train derailments Ger
man railroad official, Herr Gehricke,
has invented an adjustable rail, to be
attached to the trucks of cars parallel
with the axles, and carried about an
inch above the track rails. If the
wheels jump the track the cross rails
just described will Immediately rest
upon the track rails and prevent the
wheels from touching .Ae ground, and
the car will slide along, borne by the
cross rails. To diminish the Jar the
cross rails are supplied with springs,
and projections beneath them are cal
culated to prevent the derailed car
from swinging aside from the track.
Not all fishes are dumb, but many
species emit sounds and few give re-
markable concerts. Instances of the
latter have been collected by. Henri
Coupin, French author. On the
western coast of Borneo, Prayer one
night heard musical sounds varying
from the resonance of an organ to the
soft tones of an Aeolian harp; and in
the China Sea, United States naval
officer was struck by an extraordinary
blending of the low notes of an organ,
the noise of bells and the sounds of
great harp, the intensity causing the
vessel to CULVER. The pogonias or
tambours of the tropical western coast
Of the Atlantic sometimes congregate
about vessels, producing a maddening
chorus.
The destructive power of naval
guns becomes every year more terrible.
The latest type of gun introduced in
the British navy is remarkable for its
great length, over 81 feet, combined
with it's relatively small diameter, SO
inches at the breech and 1S inches at
the muzzle, and its comparative light
ness, % tons. Its bore is 90 inches,
its projectile weighs $50 pounds, and
at 1900 yards this missile can be driv-
EN- through IL inches of Krupp steel.
The barrel is made up Of an inner
tube, enclosed in a jacket of wound
steel WIRE This gun is reckoned equal
in destructive power to the 31a-inch
bore guns that preceded it, which
have more than double Its weight. The
muzzle velocity Of the projectile is g.
300 feet per second.
The success of the ostrich farms in
California has recently led to the es-
tablishment of similar farm in Ari-
iona and another in Florida. 1t is said
that the feathers of these American
raised birds are actually of better quail
ity and command higher prices than
those OF South African ostrlches. The
birds on the farms are larger than
those seen in travelling menageries,
their weight running from 200 to $50
pounds, and their full height. with
head appraised, from 8 to 8 feet. A
blow from an ostrich's foot Is danger
GUS, but 1t may be avoided by STOPPING
low, as the birds cannot deliver an
effective kick under height Of three
feet. For this reason they are easily
driven by dogs. In Florida team of
ostriches, broken to harness, Is said to
have paced a mile in 2:30

The proudest day in the life Of Nellie
j. McMillin of Rushville, Ind, was
when the County Board of Education
presented her with a gold medal for
punctual school attendance. Miss Nc
Millin is 16 and has attended school
since she was 5, and In all that time
she was never absent or tardy. The
last four years she has lived in the

For many years the one desire Of
the practical poultryman has been to
obtain breed which would equal the
Leghorn in egg production and the
Plymouth Rock as table fowl. 1t is
claimed that the BUR orpington is
that breed and certainly it has done
wonders since its introduction into this
country from England. The fowls
are exceedingly attractive and the pull

the Leghorn and they make excellent

Sorghum Culture.


1t IL scarcely worth while to say
anything to farmers west Of the Mis-
souri, river on the Importance of grow
ing sorghum. The uncertain charac-
ter of the corn crop where there Is
less than twenty inches of rainfall
forces farmers to seek a substitute.
They have found admirable substitutes
in cane and Kaffir and other varieties
of sorghum, saccharine and non-sac-
charine. The farmers in the humid
area. speaking generally, at some dis
lance west of the Missouri river and
eastward, have been slow in appreciat-
ing. the value Of this great forage
crop, and 1t is to these that we par
ticularly address ourselves. Sorghum,
or cane, is a warm weather plant, and
hence should not be planted until
about ten days after the time for the
first planting of corn in any locality.
To plant it earlier is to invite failure
1t can be sown or planted for two
months after the time for. planting
corn and mature, If the earlier varie-
ties, such as Early Amber, are select
ed. 1t is especially to be recommended
for lands which for any reason can
not be put in corn within three or four
weeks after the oak leaves are the
size of the squirrels ear. which is the
proper time for the first planting Of
corn.

signatures in favor of resuDmission has
always been thorough and forceful and
well backed by large supply of
money. The canvass for signatures
