THE PALACE OF KNossos.

Archaeological Treasures DiscoN-
cred Near City of Gambia.
Four miles south Of Gambia, between
the road to Arkhanes and 4 stream,
lies hill on " hich was found the pre-
historic palace of KnoSSos, says the
Ch0utauquan in an article on Crete.
Archaeological treasures were turned
up almost by the mere scratching of
the surface and further digging reveal
ed great palace, the floor area of
which, counting the different stories,
covers between five and six acres. I'm
like Tiryns and Mycenae in ArgoliS,
this great Cretan site was neither forti-
fed nor did it possess a naturally de-
fensive position. KnoSsos is luxuri-
ant palace of somewhat oriental cype,
with broad corridors, spacious courts,
open galleries, store ~ooms in which
stand huge Jars, three 20 six feet high
for storing grain, oil and wine; and
beneath the floor are lead-lined stone
cists for the concealment of treasure.
One of the most interesting cham.
bers is the well-preseryed throne room
where stands a carved stone chair
the Oldest throne in Europe. says Mr.
Evans. Three columns of cypress
wood supported the roof: and the walls
throne. and even The floor were bril-
liautly colored. These wall painting.

Fertilizers.

Decidedly the best fertilizer that can
be used is well rotted stable manure
In most cases where commercial ferti.
lizers are used some manure should b
used with it. 1t is important in ferti.
LIKING sCii to improve its physical con.
ditlon as well as its chemical compo-
sition. 1t should be made loose, so that
the roots Of plants may readily absorb
the food it contains. For this purpose
manures are unexceIled.
The physical properties Of soil have
a large influence on its fertility. The
most common means of loss Of fertility
is through teaching, or the mechanical
washing away Of nourishlng properties.
Soil which has a large proportion of
clay are finely grained and compact
thus making it easy for the plant food
they contain to be- washed away. At
the same time the compactness FIRE.
quently retains the elements Of fertll
ity tenaciously against their use by
plants.
If a commercial fertilizer is used II
should be o mixtare that gives a COM
plete fertilizer, supplying all the ele-
ments needed to make rich soil The
commercial fertilizer is preferred to
manure for use on lawns, because Of it,
greater cleanliness and the fact that
il contains no weeds Manure is fire.
ouentIy full Of the seeds Of weeds. An
excellent fertilizer for use on lawns IS
a mixture Of hardwood ashes and bone
meal. This has been declared to con-
tain all the elements needed for the
successful growth OF grass.

On the top of a mountain Of Virginia,
sixty miles southwest of Washington
as the clouds drift, is Mount Weather
and on its peak TIE meteorological ex-
perts are at work perfecting a system
Of long range weather forecasting so
there may be fulfilled the prophecy
made by Professor Willis L. Moore in
New York that before long the state OF
the weather could be foretold accur-
ately a month in advance Crop fore
casting will also be taken up by the
weather bureau as soon as the weather
forecasts have advanced satisfactorily
The Importance of such foreknawledge
as Will enable men to forecast the har-
vests cannot be estimated.
Professor Moore has spoken once
now he is silent; but silent though be
be to-day, 1t is possible to give after
the manner of layman an account Of
the doings Of the men on Mount Wealth
er whose minds are filed with the hope
That they are about 10 seize the secret
o. the sky and sun, and by correlating
them learn to know on what DAYS II
Will rain or snow and on what days
there will be Gains or hurricanes.
The observers on Mount Weather are
trying to fix the law which governs the
variations from time to time of the
heat which comes to the earth's atmos-
pheric envelope from the sun. 1t is the

registering attachments for recording
conditions. Temperature, moisture and
air movements at great heights are as
certained by means of these balloons
and kites; the absorption OF solar neat
BY the atmosphere is measured ana ue-
termination is made of the dissipation
of solar light and heat In addition
to this the observers are engaged In
work which would seem to belong rath-
er to the field of poetry than to the
field of science-the analyzlng of the
sunbeams.
AT Mount Weather, as is learned
from a brief statement of the Secretary
of Agriculture, the observers are study
ing 1.-THE relations to the atmosphere
of the magnetism of the earth, the tenn
perature of the soil and even the mo-
lions of the earth. All these phenom-
ena have been shown to have more or
less intimate connection with meteorol-
ogy."

cred of the utmost Importance that the
condition Of the atmosphere above the
land to the greatest 1trai;: bile heights
should be known every day of the year,
especially in the time of storms and of
intense cold.
Two years ago Senator Bard Of Call
fornia introduced a bill In the Senate
authorizing the treasurer Of the United
States to pay S150,000 in prizes to
prophets who could give evidence thai
they were able to tell month ahead
whether it was to be cold or hot, or
whether it was to rain or snow, or to
be as dry as the bone of proverb. The
bill was eleven pages long, and to the
layman's eye the whole thing looked
like eleven pages of humor. 1t was
laughed out of the Senate into a com.
mittee room, and there it lies to-day.

Treating Dat. for smut.

Although the following information
has been given in this department be-
fore 1t is repeated In response to a num-
Der Of requests. Formalln Is used for
the purpose and as 1t Is obtainable at
any drug store it Is within the reach
Of all, and, further, as it Is cheap and
only small quantity is needed, there
is no excuse for not treating the seed
oats. The method is to use a half
pound of the formalin to each thirty
gallons of water and this is usually
enough to treat a hundred bushels of
oats. The seed oats should be spread
out thinly on the barn floor and sufi-
cient Of the solution be sprinkled over
them to thoroughly dampen them.
When the work is done shovel the oats
together in n pile and cover them with
old carpet or something similar for
day. They may be s0wn at once after
this drying or they may be spread out
and well dried and sown at any time
one pleases. As the method is so cheap
and simple, every one sowing oats
should adopt it.

Made While Growing.

Oriental gardeners are adopts at their
work, the most striking production of
armchair, in which the required shape
was attained during the growth of a
vine. Almost from its first appear
ance the vine had been carefully treat
ed in anticipation of the use to which
it was to be put BY the time it attain
ed full growth 1t was formed into a rus
tic armchair. All of the joints were
made by grating, so that the chair is
practically in one solid piece, and after
it had attained a growth of some three
feet it was cut and thoroughly dried.

Attractions of Two Great Exhibit
lions Now a Heap of Junk.
The famous Ferris wheel, which was
one of the great attractions at the
Worlds Fair at Chicago and again at
the st. Louis Exhibition, was blown up
by dynamite recently by the wrecking
company which had purchased the sal
wage upon the fair grounds. The wheel
weighed 1920 tons. 1t had an altitude
of nearly 200 feet, and when built fif-
teen years ago in Chicago cost $75O,0O0.
1t was built to eclipse the Eiffel Tower
at the Paris Exposition, and was the
marvel of the world more than 6,000,-
GOO persons from every corner of the
habtable gloEe having been carried in
It's cars.
Many have been the deaths 1t has
caused among the workmen who have
labored in tie work of setting 1t up,
taking it down and re-erecting it In the
several migra; ions it has had In it's If
teen years of existence Daring rides
have been taken upon It's outer rim, on
Its crossroads or upon the roofs of Its
cars while in motion by those who had
no fear of attitudes.
Many couples longing for new thrills
In the marriage ceremony have elected
to be Joined in wedlock in one of its
cars while the great wheel slowly cir
cled in the air.
The wheel made money for its con-
cessionalres at the Worlds Columbian
Exposition at Chicago in 1892, and
after the close of that fair it was dis
mantled and set up in a summer gar
den in North Clark street In Chicago.
1t did not prove so profitable an at
traction there, and before the opening
of the ST. Louis Worlds Fair it was
purchased for 100000 and regretted
on the exposition grounds
At st. Louis 1t also proved a money
maker, but after the fair, although It
was still in good condition, 1t was de-
cided that its money getting days were
over, and that it should go to the junk

Green Food for Swine.

If the swine are not on the range,
and hence without access to green food
during the summer, they should be sup
piled with it in the pens If one would
have them thrive. Make it q business
to pull up weeds for a halfhour daily
and cart them to the pig pen. Any
weed that is not poisonous will do the
swine good and they will eat greedily.
Change the diet little occasionally by
giving them some grass or any vege-
table tops from the garden. Do not
give them a great lot of green stuff
one day, so much that they waste a
portion of it, and none for a week,
but let them have all they will eat up
clean and give it to them several times
week. Give them also all the fresh
water they want, with a shady corner,
and you will find that these inexpen-
sive things will make the food given
them count for much more than 1t
would otherwise.
