HOW TO FOOL" THE FOWLS
Put Electric Light in Hen-House and
Birds VIII Arise Many Times
to Breakfast.

Prof. Meyer E. Jaffa, of Berke.
ley, launched a conspiracy against
the peace and comfort of the barn
yard fowl during the session of the
Farmers Institute in San Fran.
cisco. Prof. Jaffa told the farm.
ers of a successful experiment
that was designed to solve the
problem of %fattening poultry for
the market. The experiment. as
he pictured it, has been tried with
remarkable results at Petaluma.
"All that you require ex.
planned the professor, "is an elec.
trio light in your hen house.
Three hours after the fowls have
been well fed and have gone TO
roost for the night you turn on the
electric light. The unreasopil,g
birds jump to the conclusion that
the sun has risen and they ay
down from their perches with in
tense appetites and eat another
hearty meal of corn. Then YOU
turn out the light. Three hours
later you turn on the light again
and once more they cram their
with food. In this manner
chickens can be fattened for the
market on short notice and at com
paratiyely small expense
Now all the farmers who at.
tended the Farmers Institute are
planning to have their chicken
houses equipped with electric
to deceive the simple mind
of the trusting hen.

Good-tempered, kind hearted,

the description which the author

Jet is courtesy.
When, after the battle Of
Tashihchia, the Russian garrison
evacuated Niuchwang by order of
Gen. Kuropatkin, the Japanese
were not long in taking command
Of the place. Two scouts were the
first to enter the town. They rode
straight to the civil administra-
ton buildings. There, in: one Of
the smaller rooms, they came upon
a Russian soldier who had man.
aged to get left behind his
brothers-in,arms. They smiled
amiably at him, and, treasured, he
pulled off his cap and commenced
to fan himself with it.
Now it is a common custom for
the Japanese soldier, in war and
peace, to carry about with him in
the hot weather a small fan. On
this occasion a fan was forthcom.
ing, and handed to the Russian.
He refused to take it, preferring
to use the cap.
Still with an amiable smile on
his face, one Of the japanese, a
short man with abnormally broad
shoulders, again proffered the re.
fan with the left hand, at
the same time covering him with a
revolver. \
The captive took the gift with
out further reluctance and famed
himself with yigor. 1t cooled him
far more than the cap.

Tailoring and Photography.

Perhaps the latest application
OF photography is in tailoring.
This appears to be a Partisan in
gention. The person to be meas.
nred is photographed in several
positions while standing behind a
network, which is photographed
on the same plate, and serves as a
standard Of reference. BY means
Of a &ind Of harness, indicatingthe
location of armpits and other con.
eealed points of the figure, the
necessary accuracy Is obtained.

N THE BALTIC
A Number Of Facts which During
Present Disturbances Prove Of In
terest to History Students.

Russia's Baltic provinces ar a
the present time busiIy engaged il
making history, so that the fol
lowing facts in the Chicago Daily
News may be Of interest: Estho
MIA, Kirkland and Livonia are the
districts principally involved. In
all three the aristocracy is Ger.
man in language and race, but
composes only a small part of the
population. In Esthonia the vast
majority of the inhabitants are
Esths, a Finnish people of Uralo-
Altaic stock. Liyonia and Kur-
land are inhabited chiefly by the
Let's, closely allied to the Lithua-
mans. The Russians constitute
but a small fraction of the inhab-
'%itants of the district. In the thir.
tenth eenturythe heather peoples
dwelling on the shores of the Bal.
tic were subjugated by the
knights Sword. Bearers and Teu.
tonic knights, who introduced the
German civilization. With the
lithuanians, the Let's constitute
a separate division Of the Aryan,
or Indo-E European, family. The
old Prussians belonged to the Let
10 Lithuanian stock.
These Letto,Lithuanians are
physically well built. The face is
mostly elongated, the features
fine. The fair hair, blue ewes and
delicate skin distinguish them
from the Poles and Russians.
Their dress is usually plain in
comparison with that of the Poles.
and grayish colors predominant in
ii. Their language has great sim.
to the Sanskrit. The pop.
ular poetry of both the Let's and
Lithuanians is rich in both idyllic
and lyric songs, imbued with the
tenderest love and melancholy and
a most poetical feeling for nature.
and are remarkable for their ALSO.
lutte chastity. The national char
acter is fully expressed in them
not warlike at all, but melancholy
and sociable. In the Lettish songs
there is an added characteristic.
the hatred which the people feel
toward the German land holders.
Despite the fact that the people
are either Lutherans or Roman or
Catholics, the names of
their old pagan divinities, very
numerous in their former mythol-
by, are continually mentioned in
longs and also in common speech.
The forests of Livonia and Kur-
and have played an important
part in their history. Their chief
'r1est wOrshiped in the forests.
he people brought their offerings
o their diyinities at the foot of
oaks, and even during the
Ourteenth century the "zincz," an

Worship OF oak trees may be seen.

The influence of the work

Jy from these observations. and it
is easy to understand how this
comes about when it is remem-

Is that in order to produce a di-
intuition in the number of acct
