SHAFTS VISIT TC THE CURES.
Why the Potentate Gave Only a Small
Sum to the Laboratory.

The late Shah Of Persia, during one
of his numerous visits to Paris, expressed
the wish to see NJ. and Nine. Curie
and to be shown a specimen of the Won
derful radium. NJ. and Nine. Curie,
very much against their inclination, had
to accede as matter of course TO the
Persian potentate's request.
In order that the wonderful glow of
the radium might be seen to the best adj
vantage, says the Girls Realm, the room
was darkened, but the Shah, who was
when the electric light was switched off
and, rising, abruptly from his chair, up
set the case which contained the radium

The Shah. to show that he was quite
as capable as any European sovereign
of rewarding genius, proceeded to take
from his breast one of his richly be
jewelled orders to present il TO Picrr,

Do bees Thinls

Maurice Materlinck, the Belgian
writer, adduces a number of interest
ing facts, in an article in Harper's
Magazine, TO show that bees have the
power of thinking Transported TO Cal
ifornia, he says, our black bee com
plctely alters her habits. After one or
two years, finding that summer is per
pctual and flowers forever abundant,
she will live from day to day, content
to gather the honey and pollen indis-
pensable for the days consumption ;
and her recent and thoughtful obserya-
ton triumphing over hereditary eXpc-
ricnce, she will cease to make proyis-
ion for her winter. Buchncr mentions
an analogous fact: In Barbados, the
bee whose hives are in the midst Of the
retincries, whore they find sugcr dur
ing the whole year entirely abandon
their visits to the flowers.

enemies OF the pest are ordinarily not
sufficient to hold it in control It may
be destroyed by fumigation with car
bon bsulphid or by the use OF pyreth-
rum, tobacco fumes, or kerosene emul-
sion. Treatment with kerosene cmul-
sion has the advantage that it IS also
destructive to considerable variety of
other insects which attack cultivated
plants in conjunction with the melon

The NfRuurc Hem.

Though by fermentation and by fork
ing over the manure IS made fine and
soluble, it must not be overlooked that
the process is a gradual one, and hence
every rain that Saturates the heap car
ries downward the soluble parts as
soon as the manure is decomposed.
The jet-black liquid that flows off
from the heap is the richest Of the
farm, and as it passes away the ready
plant food which Is dissolved in it is
lost, leaving behind q mass Of matter,
often supposed to be the most valuable
because of its bulk, but which really
Is not worth the labor of hauling to

drenchlng rains and the influence Of
heat from the direct rays of the sun.
Plenty Of absorbent material should be
added to absorb the volatile matter,
and water is also beneficial TO the
heap, provided that it does not drench
or flow off. The manure heap should
be worked over occasionally, in order
to prevent "fire-fanging," This may
require additional labor. but the say

Disinfcction of Stables.

In discussing the Importance Of the
disinfection of stables and the danger
of neglectng ii Dir. Ilaring Of CalifOr-
mia points out that negligence in prop
erly disinfecting stalls and stables
where animals affected with contagious
diseases have been is frequently the
cause Of Il temperance of the dis
ease" The germs Of CHAMBERS, for eX-
ample may remain alive in stables for
several months after the diseased ami
mails have been removed, and If thor
ough diSinfectiOn is not resorted to all
animals housed in the stable are sub
jcct to infection from this source.
Many failures to eradicate tuberculosis
from dairy herds by the repeated appli-
cation OF the tuberculosis test and the
prompt removal of all reacting animals
are due to the fact that the stables
were not disinfected." tuberculosis
spreads rapidly among cattle closely
herded together. TO prevent this sta
bles should be thoroughly dislnfected at
least once year.

be had. For that reason, If for no
other, 1t is a valuable adjunct to the
crops used for food. The farmer who

fortunate in having n variety. There

Health In the New.


Health in the New.
Churchbridge, Sask., December 1, 1905,
To the Editor-Dear Sir:
| came to this country from the State
of Wisconsin three years ago, and must
say that l am greatly pleased with the
outlook in this Western country. For
my own part l am entirely satisfied
with the progress | have made since
coming here l have raised excellent
crops of grain OF all varieties Last
season my wheat averaged % bushels
of wheat to the acre, oats 60 and bar
ley 40.
We had a splendid garden this year,
ripening successfully tomatoes, musk
melons, water melons, sweet corn, and
kindred sorts.
The country is well adapted to wheat
growing and mixed farming, and to my
mind it is the best country under the
sun for a man with family and small
means, as it Is possible for man to
commence farming operations with
much less capital than is required in
the older settled countries.
The climate Is all that could be de-
sired, being very healthy and invlgo-
rating.
My wife came out about six months
ago, md although inclined to be dell
cate in the old home, she has enjoyed
the best Of health since coming here.
In short, l am more than satisfied
with the land Of ny adoption. and I
am also satisfied with the laws of the
country.
Yours very truly,
(Signed.) JOHN LANGDON.
