THE WONDERFUL eloscoPE.


italian Invention For Studying the
Habits OF Insects.
Many times more powerful than the
most highly improved microscope to
which modern science is indebted for
numerous important discoveries is the
bioscope, recently invented by NJ. de
Gasparis, an Italian scientist of the
University of Naples, Italy.
This wonderful apparatus is 'long
focus" microscope. designed, as its
name implies, for the study of the phe-
nomena Of animal life In all cases In
which it is impossible for the observer
to get close enough to the object that
Is being examined without risk of mis-
interpreting what is seen.
The bioscope is extremely simple.

Kitchen Utensils,

The American fashion of keeping
pots and kettles and other kitchen
utensils in a closet by themselves in
stead Of hanging them on hooks about
the kitchen is sensible. The European
way of hanging the articles in broad
light may add to the picturesque ef-
feet Of the kitchen, but the utensils
collect dust.

For the Kitchen Table.

The housekeeper who cannot have a
zinc covered kitchen table will find
several squares Of hard wood an inch
in thickness and about five inches
across a great convenience for setting
hot dishes on. The wood should be
sandpapered and each block have a
screw eye, with which it Is hung un-
der the ledge Of the table.

Labor and soap may both be saved
in the laundry by the use Of soft water,
and even the hardest Of water may be
easily softened without the addition Of
chemicals. Three or four days before
it is to be used draw sufficient water
for the washing and expose it in tubs,
etc., to the action Of the sun and air.
The trouble is only that of little fore
thought and is we'll repaid.

II you are fond Of home carpentering
you can make all sorts Of things at

come much cheaper If the plate glass
is purchased by the square foot and
set into a framework fashioned by the

A LONE TRAVELLER
Herse That Covers Remarkable
journey Each Day.

Lone PAGERS are becoming numerous
on the race tracks, and it is no new
sight to see horse without harness
or driver, trot or pace a mile in rae.
ing. But for a horse to travel fCI
long distances without the use of line S
or means of guidance, to turn corners,
stop at a hundred various places, and
traverse different roads: this is not
seen so often.
There is one horse in the city how
ever, which does this and more.
Every day he travels thirty miles over
nine different roads. turns eighteen
corners, and makes 10l stops, and
returns to his home in the city, doing
this all without the use of lines, and
in four hours and twenty minutes.
The horse in particular is General
Dick, owned and driven by William
Lyon, R. f. D. mail carrier for the
town of Sigel. After leaving the city
limits on his outgoing trip, Carrier
Lyon ties the lines about the whip
stock and does not take them up again
till he arrives within the city limits
again. General Dick knows just what
rate of speed to travel to bring him
home on time; he is guided TO mail
box by being told there is mail for
that box; he turns out for team
when told; and watches mail boxes for
the large tin flags which announce the
presence of mail to be taken up.
When he comes to one of the corners
he must turn, General Dick looks
around to see that he makes no mis-
take, and then takes che right road
without fail. There is not mail box
along the route that he does not
know the location of. Recently new
box was put in on the route; when
General Dick came to it, he looked at
the house before which it was located,
and not recognizing the place, stopped
dead still and turned his head around
for instructions. General Dick does
not have to be confined to a fence in
circular track, but day after day takes
his route with the same precision,
never making a miss, and being
guided only by being told when he has
to stop al the mail box and when not.

power in the Orient; infinitely above
these immediate fruits of victory
stand the impressions she has created
among nations, the name and place she
has carved for herself among the
powers of the earth. and the deep res
pect and fraternal friendship she has
won forever among the really civilized
powers of the earth. There is not a
nation on the globe who will at this
time wish or intimate that it would
be considered superior to the little
nation of brown men in respect to
fighting ability, endurance. bravery

Briefly the agreements reached by

following terms of peace: Russia is

of privilege and rights in Korea
This is one of the things most vital to
Japan in the war, and she was sue
cessful in the issue Both nations are
to evacuate Manchuria, which is to be
recognized as under Chinese rule the
same as it was formerly, and that
China is to be kept intact hereafter
