Many Vines ON a Small Plot.

A fine sample of what can be done
on small plot Of southern California
land has been furnished by w. S.
Palmer, of Third street. On the two
city lots east Of his house, 2 space
less than one-third of an acre, Mr..
Palmer last spring set out 10000
grape cuttings.
The cuttings were heeled in dur
ing February and March and set out
April ! in double rows four inches
apart. Two boys were able to take
entire care Of them during the sum-
mer, and at the present time all the
vines are in fiourishing co.dition,

The Te Deu1n.

The authorship of "Te :Deum" Is
uncertain. 1t is now generally under
stood that we are to put no reliance
upon the ancient legend that makes
the famous hymn the joint produc-
tion of Saints Ambrose and Angus
tine. The first actual reference to 1t
is in the rule of Caesarius of Aries,
who was made a bishop in .502, and
it is certain that it arose as early as
the fifth century. 1t is ascribed by
some authorities to Hilary Of Aries,
by others to some disciple of CassiaD
of Marseilles, but in no case is the
evidence complete.

The Owls Wisdom.

"In hollow tree, during my va
cation, found two young owls" said
a student. II also found in the same
nest two eggs. Puzzled that the
mother owl should have abandoned
her setting ere its completion, I laid
the matter before my farmer host.
1.-The farmer told me that country
people know we'll that the owl, after
Matching half her brood, leaves the
other eggs to be Matched by the new
born birds. These young are warm
blooded, they are helpless to leave
the nest, and in nine cases out of ten
they complete the hatch as well as
the mother would have done. I'd
consider this superstition If hadn't
seen a proof Of 1t. it."-Philadelphia

The depopulation Of the earth will
be brought about through the failure
of the water supply. This is the con-
clusion reached by the French geolo-
gist, M. Martel. He has made careful
observations of subterranean caverns,
and says that the earth is gradually
drying up. They contain, he says,
not only the secret of prehistoric life,
inasmuch as they we're the homes OF
men of the remotest age, but also
bear indications Of the endless future.
NJ. Martel has found proof of steady
fall in the level of the water in these
subterranean depths. and from these
facts he arrives at his conclusions.

NEW USE FOR HICKORY.
NoiseIess Wheels. to Be Made From
Tree Stumps.

iICC SIuTnpS.
A corner in hickory stumps is In
sight. Z. C. Sendelbach of East st.
Louis threatens ito buy up all of the
stumps and make wheels out of them.
He has patent ON the idea. If Sen
delbach's idea is successful, he ex-
poets to use all of the tree except the
sap.
Heretofore the stumps have been a
waste and a bother. They stubbornly
held their ground and were in the way
when the soil was opened for cultiya-
ton. Modern methods may put an end
to the stump nuisance. With the short
cuts from the stumps Sendelbach, ac-
cording to the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
says he can make as good wheels as
are made and will do away with the
rattle. The tires will not have to be
set every time there is a dry spell, he
says.
Nowadays the rim of an ordinary
buggy wheel is made from pieces six
to eight feet in length, requiring choice
cuts of timber. When the spokes be-
come worn and the rim gets dry and
loose it causes the familiar rattle. a
visit to the blacksmith shop and a
tedious wait until the tires are set is
about the only remedy.
BY the stump method the rim will be
made OF short pieces from six to ten
inches long. fitted into iron Ganges at
the end of each spoke. The iron will
not dry up or warp; hence there will be
no rattle. The short cuts will also
make the wheel much cheaper to man
ufacture, 1t is said, and the longer
lumber can be used for other pur-
poses. Mr.. Sendelbach has ordered
an equipment of special machinery
costing $150000 for saving the stumps
and making the wheels. Sawmills ne
owns in Illinois and Arkansas will sup
ply the lumber from the stumps lie
purchased in that territory.
Sendelbach now has representatives
In Illinois, Indiana, Missouri. Arkansas
and eastern states buying stumps by
the acre. Automatic machinery will
be used to pull the stumps from the
ground. The farmer can then plant
his crop without annoyance from the
vexatious stumps.
| The stump cuts can be utilized In
making all kinds and sizes of wheels,
Seudelbach says. Samples are now be-
ing made for two ST. Louis breweries
and the New York fire department for
an experiment as to their commercial
value
