tains the heat for hours, and the food
is slowly cooked with better results. In
many cases, than can be attained by
rapid cooking on a stove. OF course
the apparatus does rot answer for

cellent for soups and vegetables.
The tung-shu, or wood-oil, tree Is
worthily named the national tree Of
China, says Consul General Wilcox at
Hankau. 1t is stately in appearance,
with smooth green bark and wide
spreading branches, affording a fine
shade. 1t belongs to the Euphorbiacae
or spurge, family, of which the castor.
oil plant is member. 1t bears a fruit
resembling a shellbark hickory pur
but as large as a small orange. Each
nut contains three triangular seeds
similar to small Brazil nuts. The oil il
pressed from these seeds. and the ref
use is used as a fertilizer. The oil
is used principally for polishing wood
work and dressing leather. Consid-
cradle quantities are exported. The
wood Of the tung-shu is used for max
ing musical instruments, fine boxes
and the framework Of small houses. It
is free from the ravages Of insects. 1t
is believed that this tree might flourish
In the warmer parts of the United
States.

The plains of Hungary are well
adapted for the raising of geese, and
travellers in that country are often en-
tertained by seeing, from passing
trains, great focks Of geese feeding in
the fields and watched by gooseherds.
So many feathers are yielded by these
geese that four bed feather markets"
are held annually at Budapest, and ut
each market from 100000 to 100000
pounds of bed feathers are placed on
sale.
There are true crocodiles living In
a state Of nature within the limits of
the United States, although they are
very few in number compared with
their kin, the alligators. They lnhabit
the lower east coast Of Florida, from
Biscayne Bay southwark, where they
are found In the lagoons and shallow
inlets of some of the islands that lie
between the bays and the ocean. A
crocodile eight feet long was recently
captured near Cape Florida in fish
net It has been secured for the Ma
tional Geological Park at Washington.
Unlike alligators, crocodiles have very
narrow, pointed noses, more deeply
notched backs and are very much more
vicious in disposition.
Builders and engineers who have
used concrete pillng In making founda-
tons for heavy buildings seem to be
greatly pleased with the innovation.
and some of them speak of it as effect
ing a revolution in building. A thin
shell containing a steel core Is first
driven into the ground, then the core
is withdrawn and the shell is filed
with Portland cement. When the piles
are not driven to bedrock they are
made tapering downward, the dia-
meter diminishing in ratio calculated
to afford the maximum resistance to
further sinking. II. they are intended
to reach bedrock they are still made
tapering, but the lower ends, resting
on the rock, are much broader than in
the other case.
In the cooking schools Of Berlin,
Munich, Frankfort and other German
cities the use of the 'freless stove" or
'.cooking-box" is strongly recommend
ed The apparatus consists simply of
wooden box. thickly lined with hay or
felt, and fitted with a tight cover.
Nests are made in the lining, into

same time. From two and a half to
three minutes are required for the trip.
The speed is a trife less than two
miles an hour.
Outwardly the escalator resembles a
treadmill, or old-fsshioned horse power.
The floor consists of an endless chain
oe pianks running crosswise. However,
there is one great difference between
the Cleveland escalator and a tread
mill. The surface of the former moves
upward and not downward, and when
once horse or pair Of horses have
stepped on to it they remain notion
less until they get T. the top They
are not obliged to keep travelling IN
consequence of the receding movement
of the surface on which they stand.
The lower surface of the floor rests
on a large number of idle" pulleys,
whose duty is merely to support the
burden with little friction. Movement
is effected by a small number of
other pulleys driven by electric mo-
tors. The latter together develop more
than twice as much power as is needed
to keep the road in operation. In or
der to give durability to the roadway
the planks which compose it are tipped
with metal.

Andrew Johnson's Writing

The letters Of President Taylor are
rare, but perhaps those of Andrew
Johnson are the rarest, as he did but
little Of his own writing. His son
conducted most Of his correspondence
and signed his fathers name to the
letters. 1t is related that one reason
why President Johnson wrote so little
was owing to an accident which hap
pened to him when he was working at
his trade as tailor One day a tailor's
heavy iron goose fell on his arm. so
tnjuring that member that he found It
extremely difficult to indulge in pen
manship thereafter. Andrew johnson
was the poorest writer among the
Presidents as well as the rarest. His
handwriting was very much of
scrawl and can scarcely be deciphered
by the average reader.

foundation for the evil repute of the
Chagres. The river flows over sand
and gravel between steep clay banks,
often not exceeding two hundred feet
in width, and the water is rarely tur-
bid, AS the drainage area is free from
pollution, the water should be of the
purest, as it is well aerated, flowing
with a swift current over many small
rapids. In times of rain there is n
noticeable amount of sediment which
is largely deposited in the lower
reaches.
The foods are very fashy; they come
suddenly and are sustained a very
short period, declining quickly almost
to low water conditions.
The country along the upper river is
thickly wooded, and in many places
with tangled and matted jungle I'M
dergrowth, through which the Ameri-
can parties had to cut roads, often
along hills with slopes Of forty de-
grees. From GambOa to Albajuela, a
distance of about eleven miles, the
river rises forty-six feet in the next
eleven and half miles to a point near
Santa Barbara, there is a rise Of eighty
feet. Outside of the villages along the
railroad there is only one tiny hamlet,
called Cruces, on the banks of the
river.
Navigation on the Upper Chagres
is limited to small dugout canoes
pushed up stream by men with iron
shod poles, but in the dry season there
is scarcely sufficient water for this in
places, and, except for deep pools at
the eddies, it is possible to walk up the
river bed for considerable distance.

TO enable heavy wagons to climb =
steep bill in Cleveland, Ohio, without
any effort on the part of the teams
which draw them. an escalator, or
moving roadway has been provided.
Its length is 420 feet, and is nearly
equal to that of two short blocks. The
rise effected amounts to sixty-fve feet.
This rolling road, therefore, delivers its
load at height equivalent to that
OF the roof of a five-story building;
and in order to do so it is arranged so
that its grade or slope Is one foot verti-
cally to every six and a half feet hori-
zontaily. The roadway itself is eight
feet wide. AS the motion is always In
one direction, it is not Intended that
this device shall assist teams to get
down hill again. IT is taken for
granted that descent will be accom-
plished by another route
What the limit is to the capacity of
the escalator has not been announced.

eight teams can make use of it at the

AIma-Tadema's Discovery.

Great vigilance has to be exercised
by the antiquarian painter. This was
demonstrated by Sir Lawrence Alma
Tadema's picture, "The Finding of
Moses" Looking at the picture, a
well-known botanist examined with
admiration the painting Of the life-like
larkspurs which form the foreground
and then turning toward the artist and
congratulating him on the successful
rendering, pointed out that larkspurs
were of comparatively recent
growth. The painter laughed as he
replied: $50 l thought until dried
specimens of them were discovered in

IF | MIGHT SING.

IF might sing for you as waters sing
In gushing melodies, or as the birds
Whose rapture scars on free, unfettered
wing;
If from my life might spring
One song untrammeled of the net of
words;
Then might 1 praise you as my heart
would praise;
Nor grieve though song should leave me
dumb through afterdays.
IF might breathe your beauty into song,
The singing stars would tarry into fight
To hearken, dreaming that deaths an
Gent wrong,
EnthrOned on earth so long,
Was scattered by the everlasting light,
And earth new winged with singing and
with flame
AS when exultant she from out of chaos
came.
