preparation OF another ten acres

water without under drains.
The lands selected are not only
the typical farm lands met in
this but III other projects that
are threa tened with alkaIi.
The data collected will be OF
much value to the farming inter

handling farm lands that are too
salty for profitable cultivation.

An Eccentric Hen.

DR.. G. l.. Dempsey is the pos
SCISSOR of a Black MinOrca len
that certainly would have made
Il globe-trotter had she been
reared under rcircums tances more
vorable. Last Monday the
doctor was called from his ranch,
mile out, and after spending
about two hours attending to
business affairs III town started
to make his regular rounds
among his various patients. His
first stop was made at the sur
veyors' camp, a mile west OF
town, where another half hour
was spent. lust after leaving
there the hen startled the doctor
by making her appearance on
the scene and crawling out from
under the seat, liew up on his
lap and joyfully proclaimed the
fact that an egg, fresh and warm
had been deposited in the buggy
box, after more than two hours
had been consumed in the pro-
cess. In this case it certainly
must be wise hen that would
know it's own egg, and the doc
tor is to be congratulated upon
owning so intelligent fowl,
She is now back on his ranch in
her accustomed haunts.

DIAMOND DIES ARE COSTLY
Valuable Mechanism for the Draw
ing of Fine Wire Is Found
Necessary.

A comparatively unknown in
dustrial detail is described by
"The Electrical Review" Accord
ing to that authority, diamonds
are used quite extensively as dies
for drawing wire of the smallest
sizes; for instance, the sizes less
than, say, OOPS inch diameter.
The hardest steel dies are not
suitable for this work, for the lea
son that the wear upon them. SO
enlarges the die that the Ciame-
ter OF the wire is not uniform
within the required percentage of
variation at the beginning and
end of a drawing. Sapphires are
also used sometimes for this
work. Copper, silver and plat
mum are the metals usually
drawn to the very small sizes.
With diamond dies it is practic.
able to draw platinum to a diane
ter of five ten-thousandths of an
inch. An idea of the ineness of q
copper wire drawn to only three

one-thousandths of~an inch in d.
ameter may be gathered from the
fact that in one pound of the
metal there are over six miles of
such wire.
The weight of the diamonds
used for this work is from four to
five carats, and they are uncut ex-
cept as to the die. The value Of
these dies, which, of course, are
not of the first water, varies from
SIS to $40 a carat, and several
hundred thousand dollars worth
of diamonds are utilized as dies
in the various wire factories Of
this country alone.
Skillful, however, as must be
the. artisans who sink these small
dies and attenuated as the wires
drawn through them may be, yet
neither will stand comparison
with the output of the spinneret
of the common spider, which elects
a single thread of silk so fine that
$4,000 threads are required to
equal in thickness an ordinary
strand of sewing silk.

HOW JAPAN WAS coLoNIZED
Traditional Account Of Origin Of Far
Eastern Empire Proves
Interesting.

One of the traditional accounts
of the origin of the japanese en-
pire is interesting. The legend,
wnich attributes the rise of these
sprightly fasteners to a Chinese
source, runs as follows:
Sinosikwo assembled the throne
of China in the year 246 b. Z. and
at once entered on a areer of cru
city and tyranny. He was, never
t leless, most anxious to enjoy the
privileges of his position for as
long a period as possible.
For the purpose of obtaining
some specific agent by which the
duration of human life could be
prolonged, he dispatched trusted
messengers and explorers into all
the countries with which he held
any communication or OF the
W .ereabouts of which he could
possibly obtain any knowledge.
Taking advantage of the circum-
stances, one of his medical attend
ants, who was living in hourly
dread of a sudden sentence OF
death, told the emperor that he
had learned that such an agent ex-
listed in the juice of a plant which
grew only in the islands which
now form the Japanese empire.
The plant in question was also re-
| rorted to be one Of so delicate
structure and sensitive a nature
that, if not plucked with pure
hands and with special precau-
ton, it would lose all it's mysteri-
o1s virtue before arriving within
tie limits of the celestial king
dom.
1t was suggested that 800 young
men and the same number of girls
all of spotless physical health
and morality-should be selected
to proceed to Japan for the pur-
pose of securing a sufficient supply
Of the precious plant. The med
ical adviser also periodically vol
Unteered to conduct the eXpedi-
ton himself, and the offer was
gladly accepted by the emperor.
The expedition embarked as
sTeediiy as possible for the Japan
CSC islands. but not one of its
members was ever seen within the
bounds Of the Chinese empire
again. The previously unocculied
parts of Japan were rapidly pop
ul;.ted with a race more fresh and
vigorous in body and mind than
the average inhabitants of the
Land CT the "celestials" itself.
The medical chief of the expedi.
ton, of course, created himself
king of the country, and soon had
q magnificent palace erected for
his residence, which he called
kanioku, i. e., grand house. 1t is
further said that the Japanese
mention the historic fact in their
annals; that they point out to Wis.
itors the spot on which the med
zeal founder of their empire land.

temple which was erected in his
honor.
