A MANUFACTURED CLIMATE.
Methods of the Paris Market Garden
 CTS In Forcing Nature.

CTS In forcin9 Nature.
 The gardeners of Paris get their products ou the market weeks before the regular season for them. This forcing of nature is described by Er- nest Poole in Success Magazine.
 The secret is simply this: The French maraichers have manufactured a cli- mate to suit them. As one observer has said, "They have moved the eli mate of Monte Carlo up to the suburbs of Paris.'
 Some new prodigy of modern sci ence, this? Not at all. Only enor- nous expense in money and in time. The gardens, whenever possible, are placed on land with a slope to the south and are well protected by walls on the north and east, walls built to reflect light as well as to give protec- ton from the northeast winds.
 The ground is practically covered with glass, not as in a greenhouse, but by glass frames in the open, three light frames of uniform size, 12 by Az feet, and also by glass bells. These, too, are of uniform size, about the shape of chapel bell. a little less than seventeen inches in diameter and from fourteen to fifteen inches high. The French call them cloches. You may often see over a thousand frames and over 10000 glass bells in one two acre plot in the suburbs of Paris.
 A more recent innovation is the em- ployment of hot water pipes run under the soil, making of the earth a verita- ble steam heated hotel, with this es- sential difference, that the hotel keep CT here is desperately eager, not to keep his guests, but to persuade them to leave on the earliest possible day.

THE GREEN MORAY.
A Savage and Voracious Eel Found In
 Bermudian Waters.


 Bermudian Waters.
 The experienced sea fisherman takes care to kill every large conger eel as soon as it is brought into the boat. The conger has not only extraordinary jaw power-it can triturate shellfish, shells and all-but is also so abominably ac- tive that the fisherman's opinion of it coincides with that held of the Indian by the western plainsman, "No good conger except dead conger." Ugly and savage brute as the conger is. 1t is a lamb compared with it's rela- tive, the green moray of Bermudian waters. This great eel Is of an un- naturally brilliant green and has an eye which is the very epitome of in- tense and malignant ferocity. It is voracious and savage beyond words. The negro boatmen have such a holy horror of it that they absolutely re- fuse to allow a moray into the boat. An acquaintance of the writer, a ma rine officer, fishing in a small boat off Bermuda, hooked one of these fish, but as soon as his boatman saw the hid eous head above the water he whipped out his knife and made to cut the line The officer shouted to him to stop, but had to threaten to throw the man overheard before he would put up his knife. When the great eel was pulled over the side the negro went absolute ly ashy with fright. As for the moray. no sooner was it in the boat than it doubled upon itself, and its jaws met with a clash in it's own side, cutting out chunk of white flesh as neatly as scoop would cut cheese. That was enough for the officer. He picked up boathook and forked the uncanny creature overboard-Chambers Jour- nal.

The Bayonet.

The bayonet was due to the fortu. nate inspiration of a Basque soldier, who, when he and his regiment, having expended their ammunition, were driv- en to bay on mountain ridge near Bayonne, suggested that they should fix the long knives with which they were armed into the musket barrels and charge the enemy. This advice, which was followed with complete success, was the means of introducing 2 the weapon to the notice of military Europe.

suits for $3.5O.

''Glad I came here to look for a suit for my boy. Why, I saw that same suit in an other store and at exactly the same price. But5it only had one pair of trousers.
 And that was exactly the case.
 Every Double-service suit has two pairs of trou- sers. Each pair is in Knicker style; the sort boys want now.
 Each suit is made right. Coats are full cut and faced at bottom. That stops sag ging of the lining.
 These at $3.5O are made of. gray or brown fabric in stripes or checks. Coats have Derby back and fancy: pocket-faps and cuffs.
 Other suits of the same family at $5 to $8.5O-and worth more than the price every time.
