TRY 1T!

In the green fields an the town
Trouble makes us bow;
Hard to sing that trouble down,
But-try it, anyhow
Any way the weather goes
Don't you feel forlorn;
Try to sing about a rose
And forget the thorn !!
Sorrows bound to come to all
Be it late or soon;
But the very raindrops fall
With a dancin' tune.

Raising Bees

1t may be safely said that any place
whore farming, gardening or fruit rails
ing ran be successfully followed is
adapted to the profitable keeping of
bees-in a limited way at least, If not
extensively. Many Of these localities
will support extensive apiaries. In ad-
dition to this there are, within the Dor
ders Of the United States thousands Of
good locations for the apiarist-forest,
prairie swamps and mountain regions
where agriculture has as yet not gained
a foothold either because of remote
ness from markets or the uIinvitlng
character OF soil or climate
This pursuit may also be followed
in or near towns, and to a limited ex-
tent in large cities. The ability of the
bees to range over areas inaccessible
to 0.Eer farm stock, and to draw their
sustenanca from dense forests. when
the timber is Of the right kind, and the
freedom which, because of their nature.
must be accorded them, to pasture on
whatever natural sources are within
their range of three or four miles. must
be taken into account in estimating the
possibilities of a locality.
1t will be found that very few local
tiles exist in our country where at
least few colonies of bees may not be
kept

A singular spring lately discovered

In Brookside Park, Cleveland, a
concrete bridge has just been opened
to traffic which Is said to possess some
novel features. 1t is believed to be
the --LATEST semiellipse of concrete ever
constructed without heavy re-en-
forcement Of steel. Its elliptical form
is perfect, with a major axis of 90
feet and a semiminor axis of only 8
feet. In other words, the rise of the
arch is less than one-tenth of the span.
The entire stomach was first sue
cessfully removed by Schlater of Zu-
rich in 1897. B. Vassallo, a surgeon
Of Argentina, reports having now per-
formed seventeen pylorectomies and

Seasickness is proven by DR.. Charles
Dawson to be common effect of earth
quakes. The feeling of nausea may
be produced by shocks lasting not more
| than eight or ten seconds, and whose
vibrations have a total range of only
a small fraction of an inch, and in one

or more.
Prof. j. H. Poynting recently de
scribed before the Royal Society an
''electric-tOuch" measuring machine
which gives results superior to any OBJ
| tainable with the usual mechanical
touch machines. The underlying prin-
ciple is that electric contact is substi-
| tuted for mechanical contact in de-
| termining, for instance, the thickness
of a gage or plate. Readings with the
new machine are taken with ease and
| certainty to one observation-disclosures fifty
! thoUsandths of an inch, and even one
quarter OF this can be obtained if de-
sired.
1t may surprise many readers to
learn that ores of lead and other met
ais may contain sufficient water to in
crease very materially their weight.
| This fact is the basis of a decision,
recently rendered by the United States
general appraisers, that customs Off
Gals have no right to compel import
appraisers to pay duty on moisture in
ores. In the case on which the decis-
| ion was based, one car Of lead ore,
coming from British Columbia, weigh
ed 62,050 pounds gross, but with the
moisture removed, only 60,373 pounds.
The figures for another car were re-
spectively 65,100 pounds and 63,O5O
pounds. The local appraisers applied
to the moist ore the percentage of lead
found in a dried sample, and this the
general appraisers decided was wrong.
