The dry process Of generating acety-
lene is now used in the English army
fer fash-light signaling and other pur-
poses, and also industrially for the
welding of iron and steel. The essen
tial feature of the process is the pro-
duction Of the gas by mixing calcium
carbid with a dry substance contain
ing oxygen and hydrogen. Ordinary
soda crystals are preferred for the pur-
pose. The attraction OF the carbid for
hydrogen and hydrogen. Is so great
that it is able to withdraw them from
their union with other substances.

The mystery Of volcanoes is being
gradually cleared up by the investi-
cations of radio-activity, if the ccnclu-
sions of Major C. e. Dutton, O. S. A.,
are correct. It can no longer be sup
posed that an eruption is an overflow
from the earth's molten interior, thir-
ty or forty miles or more below the
surface, but the evidence Is strong
that the source of the material is neV-
er mere than two or three miles deep,
and the quantity is small compared
, with the mass Of the earth-perhaps
not more than three cubic miles Of lava
having been discharged in the greatest
recorded outpour. The ertptons,
moreover, tend to recur in the same
spot-perhaps thousands ct times be-
fore the activity wanes. This could be
explained by assuming that radium Is
being generated at a depth of two or
three miles in each active crater, as
the heat from the breaking up Of the
emanation would accumulate until suf-
icient to melt a portion CT the rocks,
and on the discharge Of the molten
mass through the action Of steam or
otherwise, the process would be re-
peated until the exhaustion CT the
radium.

To Break a Stable Kicker.

The best means is to give him
sand bag to exercise upon. Fill
grain sack half full Of sand and swing
1t up to the ceiling with rope so the
sack will hang just where the heels of
the horse will have good play upon it.
Tie the horse in the stall with good
strong rope and let him kick At the
first kick the bag will swing away and
return giving the horse as good as he
sent. For the next few minutes there
will be a lively mixup between the
horse and sack, but the sack will hold
Its own, returning all it receives with
interest. The horse, in bucking against
the real thing, will soon come to
realization Of the fact, and will be
Thoroughly cowed. Leave the sack be-
hind him for a week or so, and then
remove it. If he even shows a ten.
dency to get into his old habit Of
Kicking, give him another punch bag

Feeding Horses.


Farmers generally do not give the
feeding of their horses the attention
they should The cow and sheep are
carefully examined and discussed, but
Ffhe feeding of the horse is usually all
the hay he can eat and various guam
titles of oats and corn, according to
the amount of work being done. If
horse is expected to do extra hard
work, he should be literally and fre.
"quenty fed. The horse has a small
stomach in proportion to his size, and
frequent feeding when at hard work is
necessary. Oats and hay are ideal
horse food and l think the best, but
because they are the best is no rea-
son why they should be exclusively
used; variety is often much relished
by the horse. Good timothy hay, early
.cut and well cured, is the best hay for
hnrses. Many farmers feed too much
HAY; a less amount of hay and more
grain is much better. Opinions differ
a great deal as to the watering of
horses. I prefer watering only as the
Aarse comes in from work or before
Feeding; horses should not be watered
soon after meals as the stomach be-
Ing small is liable to be partially emp
tied of the undigested food causing
bowel trouble or loss of food.-Louis

he did so the pleasant smile that light
ed up his rugged features gave Mullins
considerable encoura cement.
''This your last place." asked the
contractor, with his thumb on Mr..
Rays signature.
"No, sir. I was with Mr.. Evans,
the coal merchant, for a short time
THAT so? Did he give you letter
when you 1eft?"
Mullins flushed painfully. ayes, SIR
he faltered, ''but I guess you couldn't
call it recommendation
ooh, we'll, I'll be the judge of that.
I'd like to look at it, if you don't
mind'
Mullins did mind, but he produced
the letter, which Mr. Arkwright, after
adjusting his spectacles, read with de-
liberation.
"Come now,'' he said, as he handed
it back, ''that isn't bad. I know that
man Evans, and what he requires, ami
I shouldn't want much to do with ally
one that did suit him. Sit down, if you
are not in hurry, and let's talk things
over"
And soon Mullins was answering
questions that covered not only his
career at the seminary, in which he
felt some pride, but more especially
his experiences in earning money to
pay his way there, which he had never
thought Of as being of interest to any
one
"We1l," said Mr.. Arkwright, at last,
Il rather like your appearance, AMI l
think that there may be something in
you I don't need a bookkeeper or a
clerk, but I could use young fellow
who wasn't afraid to work, and whose
knowledge wasn't confined to what he
learned at school I reckon most of
yours is outside of that he chuckled.
eff you say so, I will give you a
chance. It will be only day-laborer's
pay, and not much different from day
laborer's work at first; but if you can
learn to go ahead with job and to
handle men you may find it worth while
by and BY
Then the contractor entered more
into particulars, and Mullins once
again accepted position.

head of the commercial department
and bursar of Pine Grove Seminary,
as he sat in his office the morning
after graduation day, pen in hand and
a sheet of paper before him.
"What is the case?' asked Mr.. Clark
of the classical department., who had
just entered the room.
'Well, you know Mullins?" geban
Mr.. Perham.

know him slightly, of course, though
he has never come under my instruc-
ton"
Fortunately for you" declared the
bursar. swell, Mullins has finished
here at last, and he wants me-
'Why, he hasn't received diploma,
has he?" interrupted Mr.. Clark.
''Of course not. It is my belief that
he couldn't get a diploma if he spent
the rest of his natural life here But
he has wisely made up his mind to
take his leave without one, and in lieu
thereof he wants me to write him a
recomm endat1On
~ hate to refuse him, but what can
I say? He is a good fellow, honest as
the day, and with plenty of muscle. I
could recommend him for place on a
coaster or in logging camp. He has
earned by hard labor the. money to
come here But he wants business
career, and he would certainly be a
failure in an office or a store, just as he
has been in the school. I have tried to
tell him as much in delicate sort Of
way but he doesn't take the hint He
will have to find it out for himself
Meanwhile, I suppose that I shall have
to write something for him"
"You might take pattern by an old
time president of the college where I
was graduated" said Mr.. Clark. ''In
a somewhat similar case, so the story
goes he wrote testimonial after this
fashion: 'This is to certify that Mr..
So-and-so has finished his course at
this college, with equal credit to him
self and to the institution"
Mr.. Perham smiled, but made no re-
ply. He began his task, however, and
soon completed it as follows:
''To Whom It May Concern: The
bearer of this note, Mr.. David Null
Inns, has been for some time past a
student in the commercial department
of Pine Grove Seminary, and I cheer
fully commend him as a young man OF
irreproachab1e character and fine
physique. While circumstances pre-
vented his completing the course, the
time that he spent here was amply
sufficient to enable student of in
dustry and ability to acquire sub
stantia1 business education.
"Charles G. Perham''
There he said, after reading it
aloud, ''that is literally true, it can do
no harm, and it will satisfy Mullins
It certainly did satisfy Mullins.
"Why, professor" he exclaimed, JOY
full, when he read the recommendation,
ct didn't know you would feel like say
ing so much for me! [ thank you
kindly, professor" Then he added,

of his business career, and the next
week he was on the ground, ready tc
begin.
It seemed, however, that the bust
ness men of the city were just then
very we'll provided with clerks, and he
spent several days in visiting offices
without once being invited to accept
a position.
But at last, in a modest sixth-hoo1
office, he found man who was al
least willing to talk with him. This
was Mr.. Ray, young insurance agent
"You were educated at Pine Grove
Seminary, eh?'' said Mr.. Ray, with &

teachers there very well-Perham, heae

''Ah, indeed" said Mr. Ray, glancine

enough. Perham was my roommate
at college, and right good fellow.

ated Sit down, won't you, and tel
me about him?''
'That is frst-rate," he declared, ate,
listening to a glowing account of hi!
friend. II am delighted to hear from
the old fellow. And now about YOU
case To tell the truth, I hadn'
thought of any more office help. But
perhaps I might work you in to hell
on the books and to act as genera
utility man about the office. 1t will
be small pay at first, but if you are
adapted to the business it will lead tt
something better"
There was no difficulty about com
ing to terms, and Mullins at one
made his start in the insurance bust
ness
One evening some time later Mr.
Ray said to his wife, ''I've got to ge
rid Of my new clerk I'm sorry abou
it, for he is a thoroughly good fellow
but stupid, stupid! I was getting
along very we'll before, but I have Ger
tainly been overworked since Mu1lin
came. It's queer, too. He took tn
commercial course at Pine Grow
Seminary, under Charlie Perham, 20,
know. And Perham gave him a first
rate recommendation. I hope he ism
a fair sample Of Perham's graduates.
So the next day Mr.. Ray, in as tact
full manner as possible, explained tt
the young man that under the prevail
ing business conditions he should no
need extra clerical assistance after tina
week. Mullins accepted his dismissa
in good part, and just before leaving
on Saturday he asked, quite as a matte
of course, "Wou1d you be willing tt
write me recommendation, MI
Ray?'
"A recommendation? Why-ah-
certainly! By the way, will you let m
look at the one that Mr.. Perham CAV

Mullins was much pleased with this,
the more especially as he had secretly
feared that he had not been entirely
successful in the insurance business.
He thanked his late employer heartily,
and on Monday morning started on his
search for another place
His travels presently brought him
to an office which bore the sign, evil
liam Evans, Coal and Wood" The
proprietor was in, and although his
demeanor was far from gracious, he
did listen to what his visitor had to
say.
II have just turned off one fellow
who was Of no earthly use," he de-
clared, in a rasping tone that seemed
to match hard look in his eyes.
1T is next to impossible to get any
decent help nowadays. Recommen-
dations? Oh, of course! They all
have Them He accepted rather gin
gerly those that Mullins now offered,

start in at once and I will give you

you suit, I'll pay more after that. If
you don't suit you leave. What do you
say, yes or no?"
Mullins said yes, although the work
was not quite what he had had original
ly in mind.
He was really much better adapted
to this place than to his former one,
and he easily learned it's duties. Being
Of a practical turn of mind, he soon
saw the need of improvements about
the yard For one thing, he became
convinced that the scales were not
accurate. Some of these matters he
took the liberty to bring to the atten-
ton of his employer.
When Saturday night came he was
we'll satisfied with his success in his
new business, and he went to the office
fully expecting a permanent engage
ment with a handsome increase in
salary. The proprietor had gone home,
but the bookkeeper handed Mullins an
envelope, which contained a fve-dollar
bill and this note:

no further use for your services. En-
closed please find five dollars, payment
