Once an inventor sought to transmute
ideas into gold, says the New York
News. He had worked in small, three
sided shop in Canal street, which was
then an uptown section of the city. The
man was Joseph Francis, and the de-
vice upon which he worked was nom
capsizable, lifeboat. One day he found
himself in need Of a bolt He also be-
gan to feel the demoralizing ravages Of
hunger. He had but 10 cents. His de-
sire was for the bolt only, but he real
lied that bread also was necessary to
finish his work. Suddenly he hit upon
q compromise. He remembered that
there was hardware shop away up in
the country above Fifty ninth; street
where he could get the bolt for 5 cents.
Late at night he returned to his shop
with the bolt and a loaf Of bread. He
worked until sunrise, when the boat
was completed. He had built the Fran
els lifeboat. On its first trial 1t saved
800 lives

should be taken from the butt of the
ear, at least one from the middle and
one from the tip. Four kernels is
enough to take from one ear for practi-
cal work If properly taken.
The four kernels from each ear must
be placed in a separate group, and it
is best that the group be marked or
numbered to correspond with the num-
Der of the ear from which the kernels
were taken. For this plan it is neces-
sary that the ears be placed in regular
order as the kernels are removed from
them. A good device for arranging the
ears in regular order is shown in the
first cut
One of the quickest and most con-
venient devices for making gefmina-
ton tests is that first used by Profess
or Golf at the Geneva station in New
York This apparatus consists of a
water tight box across which are ex
tended folds of canton flannel These
folds are suspended from wires, and
can be removed to dry when not in
use The box must be filled to the
depth of about an inch with water, so
that the folds Of canton flannel will
hang down enough to touch the water
and thus be moistened by capillarity.
The box should be about II by "a inch
es and 4 or 5 inches deep. 1t may be
made of wood. galvanized iron, tin or
copper, and the wires can be cut from
ordinary smooth galvanized fence wire
When kernels of corn are to be tested
in this terminating apparatus they are
removed from the ears, placed between
the folds in regular order and the folds
closed together. The groups of kernels
from the separate ears may be mum

Raised Beaches.

In upheavals of land near the sea,
when 1t rises so quickly as to carry the
line OF single above the reach Of the
waves, the fiat terraces thus formed
are called raised beaches" and gener-
ally consist Of sand and single, hard
ened to the consistency Of pudding
stone. Their nature and position leave
no doubt that in ancient times these
levels have been washed by the waves.
Such terraces abound along the coasts
OF Cornwall and Wales, and on both
sides of Scotland four or five Of these
STRAND lines" sometimes occur one
above the other in heights from TWEEN
y-fve to q hundred feet above high
water mark. They are also found on
the Mediterranean and Baltic shores
and around some of the great Ameri-
can lakes.

"Fitting For Freedom.

Gladstone was never weary of pro-
test against the fallacy of what was
called preparing" new communities
for freedom, teaching a colony, like an
infant, by slow degrees of walk, first
putting it into long clothes, then into
short clothes. Our modern colonists,
he said, after quitting their mother
country, instead OF keeping their liber-
ties go out to Australia or New Zea-
land to be deprived of these liberties
and then, perhaps, after fifteen Or
twenty years waiting, have portion
given back to them with magnificent
language about the liberality of par
lament in conceding free institutions
During the whole of that interval they
are condemned to hear all the miser-
able jargon about fitting them for the
privileges thus conferred, while in
point of fact every year and every
month during which they are retained
under the administration of despotic
government renders them less fit for
free institutions. - Morley's Life of
Gladstone"

GARDEN SNAPSHOTS

Caulifiower seed is best sown toward
the last of April, as it is essential TO
quality that there should be no check
in the growth from seed sowing to har-
vest.
Evergreens may be set several weeks
later than deciduous trees, but the
sooner even these are planted the bet
ter.
The termination Of parsley seed is
FASTENED by soaking it in warm water
before sowing. It is usually very slow
to come up.
If you have bit of damp soil try
water cress, sowing early and at in
tervals fora succession.
1t is good plan to sow peppers in
window box for plants to set out
later.
The beauty Of an evergreen depends
upon it's being furnished with branches
to the ground, and, as general prac
tice, it is opposed to the correct notion
of evergreen beauty to prune away the
lower branches and display the naked
trunk

Bailey advises that plenty of manure
and moisture are required Sow the

IRRIGATION WORK.
Preparing Land by Grading, Drain
age and SubsOilinS.

age ana SuDsO1iinsS.
BY e. j. wICKSON.
Having brought water to the distrib-
uting points on the land to be irrigated,
ease and eyenness of application to the
whole of the land are facilitated by
grading, not by leveling nor by securing
any given slope, but merely to correct
elevations and depressions upon each
slope or face over which any water
is to be run. If this is not done there
will lie Says or SWaleS, in which too
much water will collect, and knobs Or
humps which will get only what they
can secure by capillary rise Such
work as this can be done quite boldly
in any arid region because the soils are
usually deep and OF uniform fertility
to a considerable depth To pillow and
scrape off knobs into says is safe pro-
ceeding, as a rule.
Drainage Necessary.
Drainage of irrigated land seemed
to be q foolish and wasteful conflict
OF policies when irrigation began in the
west, but later experience has shown
that unless the soil is very deep and
loose and the irrigation wisely applied
there is considerable danger of excess
Of soil water, which Us ruinous Even
deep, loose soils may be practically
submerged by seepage from leaky
bitches and excessive irrigation com
bined, for there are large areas in Cal
ifornia where before irrigation was in
troduced it was necessary to dig over
fifty feet for we'll water, but after ten
years of irrigation the ground water
rose within few feet Of the surface
and made ponds and marshes in the
low places. This rise of the ground
water also brought up corrosive aka
line matters, which work havoc beyond
simple water injury. 1t is quite neces-
sary, then, in many places to arrange
drainage for irrigated lands and es-
pecially where summer irrigation may
be supplemented by copious rainfall.
Deep TiIlage and Subsoiling
Preparation of land for irrigation
should also include deep tillage and
subsoiling. This is also desirable upon
other accounts as well, but with irriga-
ton it is essential that every cultural
effort should be made to promote deep
penetration of the water and deep root
ing of the plants.

Thomas B. Reed once called upon the

The secretary was out, but new pri-

there. "Can you tell me when the Sec
