Good In Scientific Farmino.

A clerk of the department of agri-
culture said:
so you think that scientific farm.
ing is a bluff? You demand some illus.
tration of the good that is accom-
phshed by the scientific method? Very
well.
when clover was first introduced
into Australia 1t grew there beauti.
fully, but it never seeded. The soil
was all right. The climate was all
right What, then, was the trouble?
"A scientist studied the matter and
this is what he found:
"He found that the native Austral.
ian bees had tongues too short to
reach the clover's pollen-forming or.
gans. These organs. in red clover,
are hidden deeply in the heart OF the
tube.ike petals and they can only be
fertilizeG by the longtongued humble
bee. II red clover is not visited by
humble bees, who bear the golden
grains from one blossom to another
ii never seeds-it cannot be grown.
The scientist, aware of this fact, soon
put his finger on the barren Australian
clover's trouble, He imported a lot
of long-tongued humble bees. these
bees flourished and Immediately Aus.
tralian clover, which had promised to
be a failure, became one of the coun
try's richest and finest crops"

which is essentially Christian, is in

Worship Of Wells,

Worship of wells was everywhere
comon in England and Ireland before
the days of Christianity Even yet.
in spite of the canons of st. Anselm,
issued in 1902 against well worship,
'elics of it are found in some Eng
lish and Irish neighborhoods. The
third Sunday in May is known as
Sugar-and-Water Sunday it having
been the custom for many centuries
in the north of Englands to meet on
that day at the wells in the neighbor-
hood to drink sugar and water, cere-
mory at which the village girls were
supposed to be the hostesses of the
yourg men. When this had been done

is MARRIAGE A DISEASE?

marriage a germ disease? We have
considered this question long time,
getting no further with 1t. but the
scientific investigators will be able to
tell us. And If it is germ disease
they can catch the germ, and the
germ once caught they can get cul.
lures and compose antitoxins which
will strip this common and serious
complaint of most of its terrors. And.
of course. once we get marriage under
control we shall be in position to
regulate divorce with precision alb

FISHES FROM OCEANS BED.
Unusual characteristics OF Inhabitants
Of the Deep Sea.


When . deep-sea fish Is brought to
the surface, how gradually and care
fully soever, its bones are often like
so much touchwood and its muscles
like rotten pulp, while its eyes are
burst from their sockets and its Wis
cera are often blown out OF the body
cavity by the expansion of the air
bladder. II frequently happens that
deep-sea fishes are found floating help
lessly on the surface of the ocean,
with large prey in their stomachs.
Their appearance under these circum-
stances is accounted for by the efforts
of their struggling victims to escape
from their jaws, causing them To as
cend beyond the horizontal zone which
they usually inhabit. Deep-sea fishes
are commonly black or dark brown.
Put although II is claimed that light
is essential to the formation of colors,
some deepsea fishes are scarlet in
parts, or uniform red or rosy Others
are silvery white, while according to
Alcock, the neocopelus is zone daz-
zling sheen of purple and silver and
Furnished gold, amid which is a spark
ling constellation Of luminous or
