 and box supper on Friday night. Mrs. A. w. West hands us this little bit of information from her poultry record for 1906. From sixteen hens she secured 1438 eggs, or an average of about seven and one half dozen for each hen. At this rate each hen paid for herself about four times during the year.
 John Buell. has demonstrated his interest in the pupils of the Green Forest Public School in very substantial way by his prem- ium offer, which will be found elsewhere in this issue. Every pupil of the school should read Mr. Buell's offer and get ready to
 ompete for the prize. Does insurance pay? Every person who has had a loss will say, yes. [tis better to have in- surance and not need it than it is { to need it and not have it. See J. l.. Russell for fire and tornado insurance.

The Operation ot hi'"s

The peculiar properties of an electric
current often lead one to fancy that
II NAV perchance be endowed with the
spirit of intelligence, so mysterious are
its inner workings.
most curious use Of electricity IS
the adoption of lifting magnets In ma
chine shop and mill practice. An cleo
tro magnet in Its simplest form con-
s,sts of piece of soft iron wound with
n large number of turns OF insulated
copper wire. When an electric current
masses through the windings OF wire
The electric forces are converted into
magnetic forces and the coil OF wire
and core of soft iron assume all the
characteristics of q common steel mag
net
The operation of lifting magnets Is
quite simple The magnet Is attached
to the crane hook, and the ends or the
wire forming the coil are connected
directly with the dynamo. The crane
is then swung SO that the magnet Is
suspended directly over the metal 10
be removed. The magnet Is then low
cred until it comes In contact with the
object, the current is turned on, the
hoist is raised and the mass OF metal
10 be moved clings to the magnet.
When the load reaches the desired
point 1t may be dropped without first
lowering the magnet or it may be low
cred. the current shut off and the ma
terial deposited gently. The crane OPP
orator needs no help to load or I'M
load, and the work can be done In half
the time with saving OF from three

The History of Tacitus.

The entire history Of Tacitus, as we
have the work. was regained from q
single copy found In the fifteenth cen
fury In a monastery Of Westphalia-
That we should owe the works Of this
author to one copy is a remarkable cir
cumstance, for the Emperor Tacitus,
who claimed to be descendant Of the
historian, had copies Of the history
placed in every library Of the empire
and each year had ten copies transcrib.
ed for presentation to scholars. An. II

Spiders and Music.

It has often been said that spiders
are fond of music, but French inves-
tigator, NJ. Lecaillou, now asserts that
this is not true. He says that their
musical sense must be attributed mere
ly to greed or to hunger. When a fly Is
caught In a spiders web, it buzzes,
and the spider Immediately makes for
the place from which the buzzing
comes. NJ. Lecaillou, by experiment
ing with a violin, some flies, a piano,
vloloncello and cornet, found that
only those musical sounds which re-
sembled the buzzing Of the flies attract
ed the spiders. The cornet, for in
stance, invariably frightened them, and
SO did the piano.

Buttons.

Buttons are certainly as ancient as
the siege of Troy, In the ninth century
before our era, for, both in that unfor-
tunate city and at Mycenae, DR.. Schiie-
mann discovered objects Of gold, silver
and bronze which could have had no
other use than that Of buttons. In
medieval times the clothing OF the
common people was generally fastened
with wooden pegs Of the type and form
of those resorted to In emergencies
by the country boy Of the present day
Buttons covered with cloth were pro-
hibited by George l. in 1920 to encour-
age the manufacture Of metal buttons.
