Eating Grasshoppers.

mo wonder l am brown" said a
globe trotter. 81 am just back from
the Sahara. l spent two months wan
dering with a caravan of camels over
that white expanse of sun warmed
sand. The Sahara is like the beach at
Atlantic City, fat immensely Of the
whitest, cleanest sand, and the stran-
gest thing did in my wanderings was
to eat desert grasshoppers. The Arabs
regard these grasshoppers as luxury,
and l was tempted to try them, just as
in Paris l have been tempted to try
snails. The grasshoppers were good
You plucked off the wings, the legs
and the head, and then you ate the
dried body. This morsel tasted precise
ly like an English walnut l ate grass
hoppers several times, and when l re-
turn to the Sahara l am going to eat
them again"

TILE DRAINS.
Simple Means Of Increasing the Water
Movement.

Simple Means of Increasing the Water
Movement.
Where land requires the use of tile
drains the following hints may prove
useful. A writer in Iowa Homestead
says:
l Will give you my plan of increasing
the working capacity of a tile drain.
1 extend the upper end out to a fence
when practical, and to the last tile laid
l add an elbow sewer the same size
as the tile, and to the upper end of
this add enough more to extend above
the surface of the ground. This gives
1t air and causes it to draw faster
when it is running full or nearly so.
BY having this vent under or near a
fence it is out of the way of stock and
farming tools.
Another thing to do is to go to the
low places in your field directly over
the tile, dig to the tile and uncover
three or four joints and fill in over the
tile with old hay or trash of any kind
cobs are good-and leave 1t this way
through the winter and spring, provid-
ed there is no stock to get in 1t. This
will also let the water in much faster.
Before farming begins these holes may
be filed with dirt, leaving the trash in.
Still another good trick might be
mentioned. If you have natural sur
face drain undertake with tile and wish
to prevent surface washing, dig down
to your tile (where 1t passes under a
fence is the best place. and take out
one section Of tile and pick a hole in
1t as large as necessary and replace it
with the hole upward. Then take an
other section with the same diameter
as the hole you made and fit 1t over the
hole as close as possible and cement
around 1t to prevent dirt washing In.
On top of this section set another. and
so on until your last one extends a few
Inches above the surface. Fill dirt in
carefully, taking care that you do not
disturb your stand pipe Just below or
near this inlet make a bank or dam
across the drain so as to back the over.
flowing surface water up enough to
flow into this sink or inlet.
A sink Of this kind near large out
let is very valuable in preventing the
washing around the header" or abut-
ment These sinks should be made as
large as practicable. They can be
screened or grated q necessary.

Motion of Planets and Satellites.

All the planets travel the same way
round. This is true not only of the
eight primary planets, but of the as
teroids. Again, all the secondary plan
cts or satellites travel the same way
round, this direction of revolution be-
ing the same as that in which the plan
cts revolve around the sun, except the
satellites of Uranus, which, however,
can hardly be said to have any direc-
ton of motion with reference to the
general level in which the planetary
system circuits, for they travel in
planes nearly square to that level
Lastly, as respects direction of motion,
all the planets whose rotation has been
observed, including our earth and moon
and the sun also, rotate on their axes
in the same direction. 1t must be I'M
derstood that this direction is one and
the same for all these motions-the rev.
olutions of the planets around the sun,
of the satellites around the planets and
of the planets on their axes. 1t seems
natural to infer that the uniformity Is
the result of some general condition af-
fecting the whole scheme from the be-
ginning Richard A. Proctor.

ENGLAND and France.

1t has been playfully observed that
the mutual antipathies and attractions
of England and France resemble to a
curious degree those of man and wom-
an, perhaps one might say Of man and
woman attached to each other by a
marriage de geographique.
I'VE do all naturally hate the French"
Mr.. Pepys observed long ago. docs
any nation, by the way, love its neigh
bor? France has never ceased to in
terest US or indeed to inspire part Of
our ideas and conduct
Rightly do her historians descant Of
the glorious role she has played In the
general work of civilization, Of the
sympathetic genius which has seized
and translated for Europe the ideas of
reason, justice and all the theory of
life, private and public" which has
preserved even in the useful and
frivolous the tradition of art" of the
idealist perseverance, whose expert
ments have saved the world SO much
suffering and "made Of her follies the
wisdom of other nations. George n.

The swelling which follows from a
blow is natures effort to protect the
part from further injury and to keep ii
at rest while repair is going on. What
actually takes place at the seat of In
jury is not even now quite understood
The injury to the smaller blood vessels
Interferes with the flow of blood
through them, and the white corpus
cles, with part Of the serum, the wa
tering part of the blood, escape into
the surrounding tissues. AT the same
time the blood vessels in the neighbor-
hood dlate, and the increased flow of
blood with the thoroughfare INSTRUCTED
increases the swelling 1t is probable
that the white corpuscles of the blood
pass into the tissues to assist in the re-
pair, as bees or ants assemble at an in
jury to their storehouse, but with this
difference-that the substance of the
corpuseles Is probably converted into
the tissue of repair. From one point of
view the human body Is only one gil
gantic colony of individuals and the
swelling that follows injury bat the
rush of these to repair the breach.

UNION At HIS OWN EXPENSE.

PHILADELPHIA. August 17.-Much in
terest was aroused here today by the de-
parture of more than one hundred sur
vivors of the 18th Cavalry for Colorado
Springs, where they will meet for the sec
ond time since the war closed their former
commander, Gen William j. Palmer The
survivors go TO Colorado Springs as the
guests of Gen. Palmer, a prominent resi-
dent of that place, who will defray all the
expenses of the trip.
The survivors have met here annually for
thirty-four years. and Gen. Palmer at
tended but one reunion. He signitied his
intention of attending this years reunion.
but he fell from a horse and broke his
leg Being unable to attend he conceived
the idea of entertaining his comrades at
his home. Realizing the expenses of the
trip might be beyond the means of many,
Gen. Palmer insisted upon defrayng the en-
tire cost of the reunion. 1t is estimated
that the trip will cost Gen. Palmer more
than $4,000
The veterans travel in special train. II
will stop at Harrisburg. where two veterans
will be picked up; at Altoona for four, and
a Pittsburg, where two more Pulmans
will be attached to the train, with sixty
two veterans on board.
Six members of the regiment will he
taken aboard the train in Ohio, two in In
diana and twelve in Chicago. The train
will arrive in Denver Tuesday.
