An important item in the extension
Of the work of the Bureau of Chem
dstry has been the establishment Of
inspection for imported food products.
As a result food products imported to
this country have been greatly I'm
proved. In former YEARS the United
States was regarded as the dumping
ground for the refuse teas of the COM
merce of the world. Many years ago,
in order to overcome this evil, a Sys-
tenn of inspection of imported teas was
| established and has since been main
tanned.
The comparatively rare instances in
which the motions of plants, such, as
the opening of buds into blossoms. oc-
cur with sufficient rapidity to- .bey OBJ
served during a single brief period of
/ watching, always: cause much pleas
ure : to the onlooker. Mrs. Henry
| Cooper Edgar, in her description of all
Indian garden, tells Of q species Of
lily. Crinum augustum, which opens
with uncommon swiftness, so that she
thinks it would be an admirable sub.
ject for representation by microscopic
photography.
Bronze or metallic powders are pro-
duced by At. Baer by a novel method
that has been patented in France.
The melted metal or alloy is run
through q sic into a sheet iron box
or cylinder in hi"h a shaft with
paddles is rapid, evolved, or into a
chamber into which compressed air is
suitably injected. The violent move
ment Of the cir converts the metallic
rain into thin leaves by the time 1t
solidi6es. The thin leaves may be
reduced to powder by. beating, grind
ing or other means.
The ancestors of the horse were
accustomed to roam over the plains,
| where every tuft OF. grass or bush
might conceal an enemy waiting to
spring upon them. Under these cir
cumstances they must often have
saved their lives by starting quickly
back or jumping to one side when
they came without warning upon
some strange object. This is a habit
which has not left the animal. even
after long years of domestication. On
the other hand, the donkey is descend
ed from animals which lived among
the hills, where there were precipices
and dangerous deelipfsiss, and from
these conditions resulted his slowness
and sure-footedness.
Chestnuts suffer more from the raw
ages Of insects than almost any other
kind of nuts. Butternuts, walnuts and
almonds az comparatively immune.
The reason why worms are so often
found in apparently perfect chestnuts
long after they have reached the mar
ket is thus explained: The larvae of
the chestnut weevil develop with the
nuts, but they are not all Of the same
age. Those which first reach matur-
ity bore their way out, and enter the
| ground about the time that the nuts
fall; but. others remain for several
weeks in the nuts after they have
been gathered, and these are the ones
that furnish a disagreeable surprise
when the shell is broken.

From Z o'clock this morning until well
along in the day changing crowd of men
and boys, and occasionally a bunch OF
girls, stood around the south steps of the
court house and watched keenly the hole
where Tour prisoners had broken out
Thursday night. The aperture was nothing
much to look at, just a ragged. almost
square opening from which a dozen or fif-
teen bricks had been displaced, but it held
the idlers spellbound. Many of them just
stood and stared for minutes at time,
then heaved a sigh and passed on.
In the crowd, however were some who
had opinions

He looked exceedingly wise as he pulled
