the mission fathers a century or
more ago. They established the mis-

along the coast from southern Cali

ago many Mexicans lived here, and

HUMAN SCARECROWS.
Old Men Employed as Such i'm Eng
lands Corn Fields.

Human beings as scarecrows?
Why not? 1t may seem queer and
brutal to an American, but in Eng
land the human scarecrow is COM
mon, writes an American correspond
.ent. AS he stands out here, in the
middle of the fiat Suffolk field. there
is little to show he is not the or
binary inanimate scarecrow. He
stands motionless for five minutes
at time, and only when a bird is
tempted by the fresh corn Just ap-
pearing above the ground does he
show any sign of life.
From the road outside the field
he looks exactly like the conven-
tional collection of old clothes
propped upon stick The ragged
oYercoat and the misshapen hat can
be seen any day, at this time of the
year, in almost any field in England.
Even the crows are cOntemptuous of
the figure, and every now and then a
number of them appear leisurely
above the hedge and settle on the
field. But then it is that the scare
crow moves; he hits an old tin can
with the rusty handle of a shovel and
frightens the birds, and makes them
! fly quickly out of sight.
So he spends his day, this old
bent man, and at the end he is paid
sc cents. He is the village scare
crow. Every morning now soon af-
ter the light comes he leaves his
sons cottage in the meadow and
walks through the village street to
the fields, mile away. And then,
for nearly II hours, he keeps the
birds from the corn by making a
noise on his old tin can.
Whatever the weather may be, he
is expected to be there. In rain he
may shelter under the nearest hedge,
but he must watch his fields, and if
the birds take advantage of his alb
Sence he must go out into the open
and scare them from the corn.

ORANGE TREE TO MOVE NORTH.
The Latest Undertaking of AgricuIt-
ural Department.

J. Botanists in the employ of the
United States department of agrt-
culture hope to bring into being an
orange tree which will be as sturdy
as the apple tree; an orange tree
that will not perish in the chill of
northern winter, which in December
will bear it's wreaths of snow and in
May it's garlands of bloom, and when
summer comes will yield fruit as
good as that sweetened in the south
sun.
This may seem to be an unnatural
proposition, but it only seems so.
No violence upon the laws of nature
has been or will be attempted. 1t is
simply an effort to make the citrus
tree which bears the sweet table
orange as hardy and insensitive to
cold as the citrus tree which bears
the bitter, unedible orange. By
crossing a citrus tree which bears an
unedible fruit with the citrus tree
of the south it is sought to beget a
plant in which will be combined the
good traits of each.
Government botanists are conf
dent that the results of this citrus
marriage will be scion that will
grow and fuit at a latitude midway
between the northern limits of the
sweet and the bitter orange. If this
should be there might be orange
groves in central Virginia middle
Kentucky. southern Indiana, south
ern Illinois, central Missouri and cen
tral Kansas.

MAN WOULD SELL HIS BODY

Middletown. Conn, and for the pres

for the sum of $50. Although the

CHANGES EVERY FIVE MONTHS
Before We Get Acquainted With One
Conc0mitant of Flesh and Bones
Another Is Handed Us.

Another Is Handed Us.
DR.. Harvey WASHINGTON WILEY or
Harry Wash Willy" as a certain
German admirer not long ago con-
strued the name in writing to him
asserts boldly and calmly that before
we really get acquainted with one
concomitant of flesh and bones the
hand OF change thrusts another upon
us. Waving the likelihood that some
portions of the body are made and
remade much oftener than others
there is no question of a complete
change every five months. If some
portions require greater time others
nave changed twice, and the average
entirely new outfit is once in five
months.
In the rapid changes of the BODY
is life, says the government chem
lSt and famous author of the pure
food law, when those changes
have become less rapid old age has
set in. When change ceases death
comes. He who will find a way to
prevent the coagulation of the pro-
toplasm which works against change
will have discovered the secret of
perpetual youth In the meantime
the liquids that were in the body last
month, and these make up 20 per
cent. of it, will not circulate in this
months veins, the flesh of the sum-
mer will not see the fall of October
leaves, and scarce a bone of this
years body will leave a trace for
next year to witness.
THE bones change less rapidly
than the flesh, yet these are con-
stantly being replaced by new ma
terlal. The body constantly throws
off lime, which can come from no
place but the bones, and phospho-
rus, which comes mostly from them.
: 1t is as surprising to see how fast
this material is thrown off as it is
to note how quickly a broken bone
will be replaced. The bones change
| more quickly than would be sus-
pected. The teeth are, of course,
less subject to change than any 9TH
er part of the body, but these in
| themselves wear away and are re-
| placed to a marked extent.
"The test of marking a bone or
the skin and measuring the time that
it took for the mark to disappear
may have had some effect upon the
old belief that the change was slower
than it has proved to be. Strange
to say, a foreign substance is the
only matter that the system will al
low to remain unchanged within it,
A particle lodged beneath the skin,
as powder, for instance, or tattoo
mark is not displaced with the
growth of new flesh or skin. The
new particles form gradually about
the foreign matter, replacing the
old ones, and the marks remain.
| In the young the change is very
lrapid and every cell is full of life
and constantly recurring youth. AS
age comes upon us there is an occa-
siOnal congested cell ant a constant
thiCkening of the appearances of the
skin. Then in old age there is an
almost complete congestion, and
finally life ceases"

BELLED BUzzARD HEARD FROM

For many years past at some place

appears. The bird shows up about
the same Time every year, but in
