The Manchester canal was built at
a cost of SIS, 900 to reduce freight
rates for a distance of 35 miles, and,
while it did not prove a good inter
est bearing investment on such a
large expenditure, its indirect and
more permanent benefits are said to
have warranted it..
Germany has 5000 miles of canal,
carefully maintained, besides 1000
miles Of other waterway. France,
with an area less than we would con-
slider a large state. has 5000 miles of
canal; and in the northern part,
where the canals are most numerous,
the railways are prosperous.
England. Germany, France, Holland
and Belgium are all contemplating
further extension and improvement Of
their canal systems.-Century Maya

Water Pumped Through Plants.


Few realize how continually the
plants that grow on the earth are
Dumping water from the soil into the
Dir. Every normal plant is engaged
IN this work, and the surface of the
farth is covered with them except in
Pie regions of eternal frost and the
treat deserts. Experiments made in
tab showed that through June, July
fnd August of one year each foot Of
loil lost by evaporation of moisture
through plants over nine pounds of
fater. When this is multiplied by the
lumber of feet in an acre 1t gives
Pver 100 IONS of water for a single
Pcre, When this is extended to the
.flant-covered surface of the world 1t
|ndicates the fact that a good-sized
pecan of water is by the plants
pumped up into the air each year and
mat for each day a good-sized sea is
o returned back to the element from
Hhich it came-the air.

by the ready separation of the bark
from the wood. The union of the
two. the bud and the stock, takes
inserted bud; for this las the bud
should be inserted as soon as 1t is
cut from the twig so as to avoid dry
ing out. In climates having severe
winters budding is most satisfactory
when performed near the end of the
growing season. The buds should be
plump and mature when taken from
growth. The bud stocks" should be
cut the day the buds are to be in
serted. trimmed and wrapped at once
in a damp cloth to prevent drying on.
Trimming consists in cutting off the
~leaves. saving a bit of the stem to
use as a handle in inserting. In cut.
ting the buds, use sharp knives; in
Pow bud. cut upward just behind bud,
removing but little of wood. coming
out about %one-fourth of an inch above
bud. (See fig. az
To insert bud, make T-shaped in
'cision in stock about two inches above
ground . (See Fig. b. With the
%spatula or budding knife loosen the
lips of bark in angle of the T cut and
slip in the bud. (See Fig. b. The
bud must be held firmly in place by a
bandage wound above and below, be-
|fng careful to leave the eye of the
bud uncovered. Rafia fibre (wet),
|bast, candle wick or waxed cloth may
be used for tying. Rafia is usually
Employed. If the bud takes" re-
move the bandage In about ten days
by cutting loose on back side of stock

bud. In three or foul weeks cut off
the stock just above bud to stimulate
he growth of new bud.
Peaches are budded in the same
year that the pits are planted. AS

Enough to hold a bud they are ready
FOR budding.

HOW TO FLOAT A PIN.

pin upon the prongs of a fork, and
then, holding the fork at an angle of
forty-fve degrees, place it very gently
upon the water, watching your oppOr-
tunity to remove the support.
This may require a little practice,
but you will soon be able to succeed,
when you will see the water assume
convex form on each side of the pin,
and as soon as the pin has replaced
enough of the water to counterbalance
it's weight it will float like little boat
This experiment may be made with
a needle, as well as pin, it being
necessary only to place it upon the
water so carefully that the water can
not wet it. That may sound like an
inconsistency, but it is possible, never
theless, to so lay the pin or the needle
upon the water that it shall not be
made wet.
If you find the experiment with the
fork only partially successful, try this
simpler method: Lay sheet of ciga-
rette paper evenly upon the water, and
upon the paper place needle or pin.
AS soon as the paper gets wet through
It will sink below the surface, leaving
the needle or the pin floating. By us
ing great care you might perhaps sue
coed after awhile in floating dime
or a gold dollar in the Same way.

A Question of PoIiteness.

No one has right to enter another
persons room without knocking for
permission, no matter how close and
intimate the relations between them
may be. Every human being has a
right to privacy when he or she de
sires it, and both courtesy and common
sense forbid an intrusion. Whether
you are a boy or girl, you should
not enter the room of father, mother,
brother or sister without knocking or
asking permission The strict observ-
ance of this little rule not only enables
the members of the family to have pri-
vacy when they desire it, but it estab-
fishes and fosters a high standard of
pOliteness that will be sure to result in
elevating the character of the entire
family circle. 1t is a great mistake
to think that courtesy and politeness, in
even little things, should be shown only
TO strangers. The family circle is the
place above all others for them. Chill
dren who are taught to be punctilous-
~ polite at home are sure to be polite
out of it.-Caicago News.

twenty three of them refusing to take
a second incubation. Fever broke out
a few weeks after they arrived in IN

lowing June there were sixty-three
cases and eleven deaths in the regi-
ment to which the inoculated men be-
longed. Only two cases occurred
among the men who had taken the
preventive treatment, and both of
these were men who refused the Sec
ond incubation. Both recovered.

casein Made by Electricity.

A French investigator has evolved a
method Of using electricity in the pro-
duction of casein from milk. The
method is extremely simple. 1t con-
sists essentially of passing a strong
current at low voltage. such as is or
dinarily used in other electrolytic proc
esses, between two terminals, one of
carbon and the other of iron.
The carbon terminal, or anode, is
immersed in the milk at distance Of
about four inches from the other ter
minal, or cathode, which is immersed
in a porous vessel containing an aka
line solution-either the whey from a
previous operation or B per cent So
luton of cauStic soda.
1t is possible with a current density
of about one hundredth ampere per
square centimeter of anode to separate
the casein from a hundred gallons of
milk in from ten to twenty minutes.

NEW BREAD DIGESTIBLE.
When Properly Masticated Hot Rolls
Cease to Be Injurious.


New bread is commonly considered
indigestible, and with reason, but it is
not necessarily so, says Fuer ALE Volt.
Hot rolls when masticated properly
should not offer any difficulty to the
digestive organs. The writer goes on
to say:
A slice of stale bread on being broken
with the teeth resolves into more or
less gritty particles, which, unless they
are softened by the saliva, would be
almost impossible to swallow. The
particles would irritate the throat and
gullet. The fact is, therefore, that
man is compelled thoroughly to masti-
cate and to impregnate stale bread and
thus makes it III a fit state for diges-
ton and absorption farther on in the
alimentary tract.
This is why stale bread appears to
be more digestible than new bread.
New bread, on the contrary, is soft,
doughty or plastic, and there appears to
be no necessity to soften it with saliva:
hence it escapes the preliminary diges-
tive action of the ptyalin of the saliva.
New bread, in other words, is in reality
'bolted,' and boiling accounts for
many Of the ills arising from dyspep-
STA. Accordingly, hot rolls should be
enjoyed for breakfast without any fear
of indigestion so long as the bread is
good and so long as pains are taken to
masticate it thoroughly.

MAN IN THE PANSY.
He Wears a Yellow Shawl and Keeps
His Feet In a Tub.

He Wears a Yellow Shawl and Keeps
His Feet In Tub.
The little sister came in from the
garden, her hands full of flowers, and
begged her mamma for story-''a
brand new one, mamma''-so mamma
tried to think of new story, while the
little sister kept very still. At last
mamma caught sight of a pansy among
the little flowers the little sister held,
and this is what she told the little sis
ter:
In the middle Of every pansy there
lives a little old man. He must be a
very cold little man, too, for he is al
ways wrapped in little yellow blan-
ket and even then has to have an extra
covering of velvet pansy leaves to keep
him warm. And he sits in the flower
with only his head uncovered, so that
he can see the world.
''But the queerest thing about this
little old man is that he always keeps
his feet in a foot tub-such q funny
little tub. too-so long and narrow that
you wonder how he manages to get his
feet in it. He does, though, for when
you pull the tub off there you will dis
cover his two tiny feet, just as real as
can be-"
The next time you pick a pansy see
if you can find the man and his little
foot tub.

Some Amusing Experiments With Bits
of Metal and Water.
Let a drop Of water fall upon glass
and it will spread, but a drop of mer-
curry will not. This is because the wa
ter and the glass have an affinity for
each other, so that the water vets tie
glass, but there is no affinity between
mercury and glass. The same prin-
ciple underlies pretty experiment that
may be made with water and q pin.
Water will wet a pin, but not so
readily as it vets glass. Remembering
this, we may make a pin, even a big
one, float upon the surface of water.
There are several ways of doing this,
one of them being that shown in the
accompanying illustration. Lay the

FILE SHARPENING MACHINE.

scale. The teeth shown in Fig. ? are
those Of new file, and those in Fig. 3
are the worn, rounded teeth of an old
one. When the file is held in the sand
blast the teeth are cut down, as indi-
Gated by the white lines, thus replacing
the sharp cutting edges and making
the file nearly as good as new The
number of times a file can be resharp-
ened depends upon the work for which
it is intended and upon the cut and
depth of the teeth.-POpular Mechanics.

oxygen as an Antiseptic.

Ozone is, as chemists know, an active
form of oxygen. The Japanese, ever
alert to apply science in their behalf,
make use of ozone in the army to stel-
ilize the water. 1t is a natural anti
septic, and the plan was carried step
farther and applied to the preservation
Of meats. In a Theoretically sealed
chamber the meat is subjected to the
action of ozone under pressure, after
which it remains good, at a moderate
temperature, for several weeks. This
form of oxygen seems to kill the germs
of putrefaetion and combines with
something in the meat to form a COM
paratively stable antiseptic.

Testing Pneumatic Hammers.

Tests of a pneumatic hammer, states
the Industrial World, reveal the fact
that very slight error of design or
adjustment of the valve may affect the
efficiency of the tool to very marked
degree. With a certain hammer, CIV
ing 936 blows per minute, the piston
had a velocity of impact of 1886 feet
per second ct the end of the forward
stroke. A slight Improvement in the
valve increased the number of blows
to 1,040 per minute, while the velocity
Of impact at the end of the forward
stroke was 44.65 feet per second, re-
sulting, Of course, in much more eff
fectiye blow

Polishing Nickel Articles.

1t is said that high polish may be
obtained after nickel plating on small
steel articles, such as screws, by tum-
bling them with leather and dry rouge,
says the Scientific American. The ar
ticles are placed in tumbllng barrel
with leather scraps. Some dry rouge
is put into the barrel along with the
screws and leather, and the whole is
tumbled for some time. The rouge
coats the surface of the leather and
causes it to act like polishing wheel.
Canvas scraps may be used in place Of
leather
