The ColOrs of ExRs.

A. r. Norwood, of the Leicester
(England) Museum, remarks that the
colors of birds eggs can, In a large
number of cases, be traced to the ne
cessity Of protective resemblance"
White eggs are usually laid by birds
nesting in holes in trees or in dark sit
uations, like owls, woodpeckers and
some pigeons. Most birds nesting on or
near the ground lay eggs of an olive
green or brown ground color. The eggs
of grouse, ptarmigan, and SO forth, re-
semble the heather among which they
are laid. Those Of the ringed plover,
little tern and oyster-catcher resemble
the sand and shingle of the beach
The lapwing's eggs closely simulate
bare soil or dried bents. The young
chicks show similar protective" colorss

Effect of Freezing ON Butter.

A series of trials were made at the
Vermont Experiment Station, wherein
milk was divided into two lots, one-half
allowed to freeze and the other han
died In the usual manner; then churn-
ed, the butter worked and scored.
Neither skimming, ripening nor churn-
ing appeared to be impaired. Not SO,
however, with the scoring. The aver
age scores of two sets of fifteen lots
each were: Frozen butter, 932; nor
NAL butter, 93.5. Freezing tended very
slightly to lower the grade of the but
ter. yet freezing Is not necessarily a
menace to good butter-making. 1t
should not be inferred. however, that
infrequent creamery receipts, delivered
more or less frostbitten, will make as
good butter as If they had been de-
lirered unfrozen.

Protection of River Banks,

Protection of River Banks.
The statement Is constantly met that
forests are very efficacious In the pro
lection Of river banks from underminr
ing and steep slopes from sliding. The
exact reverse Is the case, says the En-
gineer. As every river engineer knows,
nothing is more disastrous to river
bank on an alluvial stream than heavy
trees. This is due partly to the great
weight, but in large part to the sway.
ing effect of the wind and the enor-
nous leverage Of the long trunks, which
pry up the ground and facilitate the
tendency to undermining. One Of the
regular policies of river control Is to
cut down these trees for a distance
back from the edge of the bank wher-
ever complications with private owner
ship do not prevent. Snags and DRIFT
wood In the channels have always been
among the most serious obstacles to
navigation on streams flowing between
forest-covered banks. Likewise where
railway or highway grading cuts the
skin Of unstable mountain slopes, the
presence of large trees Immediately
above tends powerfully to loosen the
ground and cause 1t to slide; and In
such cases 1t Is necessary to cut down
the timber

The Life Plant.

Bermuda possesses plant of tke
house leek family which has curious
r operties. When the leaves begin tn
shrivel and fade they put forth new
shoots which in turn bear leaves that
continue to grow fresh and green for
many weeks. The leaves are about
rour inches long, rich green in color
and of waxen texture. If one of the
leaves is pinned to a wall indoors 1t
will begin to sprout within three or
four days, be 1t winter or summer. The
limit Of existence of the life plant seems
dependent upon the quantity Of heat
and light which the plant obtains.

One Of the most important of the in
dustries developed in recent years H.
the production of sugar from sugar
beets. More or less desultory work
was done on sugar beets as far back
as 1867. In 1892 only six factories
were in operation in this country, the
combined output of which was a little
over 27.O0O,OOO pounds Of sugar.
According to the National Magazine
there are now no less than sixty-fCur
factories in operation, with combined
output Of approximately 100000 short
tons Of sugar manufactured from beets,
with factory value Of $45,0OO,OO0
One most important factor has been
the production of high-grade sugar
beet seed. For many years American
growers have been dependent almost
exclusively on foreign countries for our
sugar beet seed, but for three or four
years past the Department of Agricul-
ture has been encouraging the success

United States has an annual value of
| $57 100000.
Our wild game and fur bearing animals
have been largely exterminated. To
prevent their complete extinction the
states and the United States have taken
| in hand their protection, and their num-
bers are now increasing. Forest game
yields over $10,000,000 worth of food
each year.
With game birds the story is much
the same-wanton destruction until the
number has been greatly reduced, fol-
lowed in recent years by wise protec-
ton, which in some cases allows the
remnant to survive and even to in
crease.
Since the greatest of our national
assets is the health and vigor of the
American people, our efficiency must de-
pend on national vitality even more
than on the resources of the minerals,
lands, forests and waters.
Our annual mortality from tuber-
culosis is about 100000. Stopping
threefourths of the loss of life from
this cause, and from typhoid and other
prevalent and preventable diseases,
would increase our average length of
life over Is years.
There are constantly about 100000
persons seriously i'll in the United
States, of whom 100000 are con-
