INKS FOR FOUNTAIN PENS.
Something Suitable for Making Trac.
ing Required.

Something Suitable for Making Trac.
ing Required.
An opportunity for inventors who
have studied the problem is afforded
by certain needs of draughtsmen.
There has been talk of devising spe-
cial kind of fountain pom for their
service. Perhaps one is really re-
quired but a correspondent of the
American Machinist suggests that
what is most to be desired is an ink
of the right kind for making tracings.
He points out that the greatest diff
ficulty experienced by a tracer is in
keeping his pen Zone of the old-fash-
toned kindly clean so as to insure a
free flow of ink and continuous black
line. A thick ink dries rapidly-too
rapidly in fact. Ilasmuch as foun-
tain for writing often clogs with thin
ink it would act worse with a thick
one. The writer in the American Ma
chinist is convinced therefore, that
the first great essential is a prepare
ton which is as dense as India ink,
but slow drier. Such an ink has
up to now bafIled all inventors, and
seems likely to do SO for a little
while longer, therefore the idea of a
fountain for tracers has to be aban-
doned, at least for little while.
The same need exists in regard to
indorsing ink for rubber stamps
which are sometimes used for putting
the address of the firm on the tracing.
With the ordinary indorsing ink the
stamp is only just perceptible on
white prints, and is only a little bet
ter on blue ones. There are few
inks on the market which are guar
anteed to show on prints, but the ink
being so thick it very quickly dries,
c.ogging the stamp so that it has to
be cleaned very often, thus wasting
the time saved by not having to re-
stamp the prints, which operation is
required when ordinary indorsing ink
is used.
Thus 1t is self-evident that the ink
is the item which should engage most
attention, unless special kind Of
tracing cloth or printing paper could
be manufactured which would allow
of good prints being made When u.s.
ing thinner kind Of ink.
There is little doubt that dotting
pens are nuisance, and the writer
here quoted can only see one way in
which they could be improved upon,
and that is by arranging the pen so
that the circular nib would receive
the ink and that the thickness of the
dotted line made by 1t could be regu-
lated by screen similar to the one
used on the ordinary drawing pen.

roy, and the expedition had been ar
ranged by Lord Harrington on the
site of the lion hunt prepared for
Lord Curzon five years ago but never
fulfilled. 1t is bel eyed there are six
ty or seventy lions in the Cir, and
the major, having spent the last cou-
pie of years In the vicinity, knew the
Junagadh better than any one. On
March 9 tracker arrived who had
been attacked by a lion while riding
into camp, and, while he dropped his
weapons and escaped, it was only by
abandoning his pony and seeing the
animal carried off.
The "shoot" was divided into three
parties, with the major in the second,
and 1t entered the jungle to the depth
of about ten miles. The major and
his two friends, Mr.. du Boulay and
Captain Foljambe, selected tree,
each ranging along nullah, and the
two latter fired at fine lion, wound
ing him high in the right shoulder.
The major also hit lioness. The ma
tives also fired their old-fashioned
guns and it was thought safe to de-
scend the trees, for consultation
and search for the wounded quarry.
The lioness appeared and ran for a
shikari, but the major fred AID drop
ped her dead. Then there was q
pause for drinks and the party be.
gan to follow the lions trail down the
nullah for a mile OF so. Now and
then the men assembled trees to keep
Lookout and at last the party came
into a clearance, with waist high
grass instead of trees.
Suddenly there was roar and the
lion dashed out, making straight for
the major, who fired one shot, just
grazing the beast. Simultaneously
there was struggling cloud of dust,
in which the natives say they saw
the lion beat the major down with a
blow of his paw. Captain Foljambe
fired. Mr.. du Boulay ran up and fired
point blank at tie lions heart, ma.
tive fired into its headquarters,
while others dubbed it with rifle
butt and swords. The major was
found to be dead. He must have
died instantaneously. The body was
carried on charpoy by torchlight
and conveyed back to Rajkote by spe-
cal train, and the shock caused by
the news throughout the Junagadh
district was intensely felt.
1t is added that the lion measured
eleven feet from tip of tail. The 9TH
ers shot were two lions rather less
in size and a lioness (the major's)

The Winter Egg supply.

The poultry man is anxious to get
winter eggs. The price paid for eggs
in winter is enough to warrant consid-
cradle time and thought upon methods
Of wintering and feeding the poultry
for winter egg production. The old
way Of letting the chickens roost in
the trees or on fences usually keeps
healthy fowls and results in most ex-
cellent laying in the spring as the
weather gets warmer and more pleas
ant. But every farmers hens lay at
that time Of year, and eggs get very
cheap. Winter eggs are profitable be-
cause of the great demand for them
during the winter season.
In spring the hens get variety Of
foods. They exercise running over the
fields, gathering variety OF foods.
They are warm both day and night
By surrounding them with similar
conditions during the winter months
winter eggs may be obtained. A
warm, well-ventilated roosting place.

A warm place, free from winds,
snow and rain, in which to exercise
is another. Then feed variety of
grain in cut straw or other litter in
this warm place SO the hens may work
scratching the litter apart. Oats, with
wheat thrown into the cut straw, will
give them exercise. Rear noon feed
the bran mash, including table scraps
and milk and at night full ration
Of corn. If cabbage or turnips given
raw can be fed to them, they will do
even better. Green bone, meat scraps,
grit. clean water are also helpful. II

Farmers are indebted to DIR. Roberts
for SO persistently advocating, and
proving, too, the value of cultivation
to make available the immense amount
of potash stored in the sod. At first
the statement was ridiculed, but the,
doctor was known to be cautious as
well as a learned man, and not given
to making rash statements, SO others
investigated and found to their sur
prise that he was right. Then he and
others took up the question of the
raising Of legumenous plants and the
blowing Of them under to add nitrogen
to the soil which had been gathered
By the plants from that boundless res-
ervoir, the air. Thus the two most
extensive plant foods became tha least
expensive. Then came his advocacy,
renewed persistently, of the cover
crop, SO that the plantless soil during
the winter is only to be found on
farms whose owners are too stubborn
to learn. These incidents are men,
toned to point out anew the value to
the soil of green manurlng and Of cul-
