the glass. below the cup, will contain
the water and the upper part will be
hlled with wine.
This is as It should be, because
water is heavier than wine and natur-
ally goes TO the bottom. The curious
thing is that the wine and water do
not mix, but each selects one hole for
itself. IL IS like the trick with the
candle burning in a lamp chimney
with a partition Mt the top, SO that
cold fresh air goes down on one side
while the hot air and smoke escape
on the other.
oil may be substituted for the
wine or you may fll the bottom of
the glass with water and then pour

Consul-General William II. Mich
ael. in one of his letters from CAL
cutta. refers to the increased atten-
ton that East Indian farmers are giv-
ing to the production OF ostrich feath-
ers. He says in his communication
the soil OF India In large tracts is we'll
suited to ostrich farming, quite as
Egypt. The consul quotes one Jour-
nal which says that ostrich farms
could be started on the edge Of the
Indian desert In Sind and In Belooch-
istan. where land is poor and unpro-
ductive. owing to barren soils and
suited for the management of the
birds. The farming could be under
taken by Europeans or native capt.
talists, who can easily obtain the SER
vices OF trained men at the same time
that they purchased their ostrich
chicks or eggs.
The demand for ostrich feathers of
high quality is greater than the sup
ply, and the intelligent farmers of
the Cape and Egypt make large
money from these beautiful orna-
ments. as present producers OF South
ern California have. A comparison
OF the soil. climate and other physical
conditions In Africa and Egypt, where
the ostrich does we'll. with the same
conditions in part of Southern Cali
| fornia, Arizona and New Mexico
would suggest that there is hardly a
limit to ostrich farming In America.

Immediately took possession.
Mr.. Briggs and wife have been

fortunate in picking up such a

Crawfor d turned over to them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Crawford have
been running the restaurant
since February 1902, but have
felt that the work was too much
for them and had been desirious
of selling out for some time.
They will aid the new proprietor
for q few days until he moves
his household goods here, when
they will move into their home
in the south part of the city.
They will then enjoy a well earn
ed rest. Mr.. Crawford has not
as yet decided what he will do
in the future. Mr.. Briggs has

cry business for years. He will
be assisted by a brother, r. O.,
who came last night.
