Cottonseed Oil in Oieomargarinc.

One of the uses to which cotton
seed oil was once put in Germany was
the wholesale adulteration of animal
fats. OF Lane the pure food laws of
that country forbid the practice,
though the addition of one-tenth to
oleomargarine is even now per-
mitted. In Saxony the consumption
of oleomargarine is steadily growing,
according to a recent consular re-
port.

that If you and l make bet 1t is a

Ponder's End, putting him In fear and

LARGE Ears Of Forest Animals.

Within the limits OF particular
groups large ears may be taken, as a
rule, to indicate either great powers
of hearing or the necessity Of catching
every wave of sound, says the Scien.
tific American. Thus, forest dwelling
animals generally have much larger,
and especially broader, ears than their
relatives inhabiting open country.
An excellent instance of this is af.
forded by the okapi of the Semliki for.
est, as contrasted with the giraffe of
the more open districts of Africa-the
ears In the one case being excessively
broad and leaf-like, while in the other
they are comparatively narrow and
pointed. Similarly, Grevy's zebra,
which inhabits scrub jungles in Som.
aliland and northeast Africa general
ly, has much longer and wider ears
than the ordinary zebra of the open

John Browns : .fe.

Lovers Of the antique would rejoice
in the possession of a quaint old iron
safe which was discovered In an out
ofthe-way place in Springfield, Mass,
not long ago The safe was probably
used BY It's original owner when he
raised sheep and sold their wool. II
Is large enough to hold all the profits
that Brown might have reaped in
his wool business. The discovery has
been made by Col John l.. Rice, of
Springfield. Mass. Instead of keeping
his prize however, Col. Rice has turn
ed the curious old article over to the

The safe must have contained many
interesting documents during Its so
journ under Browns roof, and il
would be interesting to get hold OF
some Of them.

On that day in 1907 there was in Lon

Of street lighting by coal gas In Lon

OF the enterprise is due TO Winsor, a
German company promoting expert,
who was especially interested in the
question of economic fuel His pamph-
let's. however, contained so much ex-
travagant fanaticism and quackery
that they retarded rather than fur
thered his schemes. which met with
an extraordinary amount Of opposi-
ton, even from enlightened people.
Sir Walter Scott wrote that there
