Tanning a Refractory River.

Since the timber has been stripped
from its mountainous drainage basin.
embodying an area of $1,000 square
miles, the floods of the Susquehanna
have been extremely sudden, violent
and destructive. Such a particularly
outrageous stream is the Susquehanna
that 1t is difficult to find room upon it
even to navigate ferry boat comfort.
ably. One of these quiet reaches is
McCalPs Ferry, where part of
Washington's army crossed on its
way to do up CORVALLIS at York
town. The commander himself
crossed at Conowingo ford, ii miles
below. At this historic spot some
clever engineers are demonstrating
that the Susquehanna is good for
something, after all, for they are
building a hydro-electric power plant
which is remarkable not only for its
size but in many other respects as
well.-Technical World.

Artificial Clouds

d. l.. Murphy. United States consul
at Bordeaux, reports the invention of
NJ Lestout. a French grape grower.
OF process for producing artificial
clouds for the protection Of vineyards
from frosts and the heat of the sun
The report says it has been tested
under various conditions and proved
practical success. II consists of fill
ing small wooden boxes, open at the
top with infiammable composition. re-
duced to a fine powder and pressed
into a compact mass. When this COM
position, which consists of equal parts
or resinous and earthly matter, is set
alight, dense cloud of smoke is
produced, hanging over the vineyard
long enough to protect the plants from
the April sun rays, and give them a
chance to recuperate from the dan
gerous effects of the frost. The in
ventor claims that by his method so
acres may be protected at q cost of
about two dollars.

Conscientious Workman,

At the Union league OF Philadelphia
a few days ago the veteran shipbuild-
or, Charles H. Cramp, related a curl
Gus incident of skilled caulker named
Brown, who, after many years of ser
vice at the Cramp shipyards, obtained
a more important position at the
navy yard. This man came of a family
which had been employed at Cramps
for three generations, since the early
part of the last century, and was ex.
tremely conscientious. So keen a
sense of duty did Brown possess that,
although he had been placed on the
regular salary list at the navy yard,
nothing could induce him to draw his
pay for the days he did not work. He
had not been accustomed, he said, to
get paid except for working days, and
he was not going to rob the govern
ment" when work was slack.

Showing What Industry and an Eye

Washington's Comments and
Advice on the Subject.

Some years ago there was a negro
conference at Tuskegee. Ala. the site
of Booker T. Washingtons famous in
stitute, and one of the most prominent
speakers was Mrs. Lucy Nelson of
Dadeville. Ala. This woman was an
extremely black African, but she was
neatly dressed-had passed. indeed.
the "sunbonnet stage" as Mr.. Wash
ington calls those of his people Just
budding into more ambitious and
broader existence. Under the cross
examination OF Mr.. Washington the
woman related most interesting ex-
perience-an experience that should
be an inspiration to the whole colored
race.
DO the people in your community
own homes. Mrs. Nelson?" asked
Booker T. Washington.
Il thinks they's fxin' to own 'em,
sah"
But do they own them?"
"A heap Of times you can't just tell,
sab. But they's holdin' 'em down"
DO you own your homer"
Yes, sab. l do" proudly. And 1
can tell you jest how I got it. 1
snapped a puppy dog for It,"
HUH" said Mr.. Washington, ex-
pressively.
Yes, sah," the woman persisted. 81

Tell us about It."
We'll. it was this way. When 1
started, l didn't have nothing at all
but jest little yaller puppy dog. I
took the dog over to my brother-in-
laws He had eight little bits Of pigs.
oh, Jest so little; an l snapped the
puppy with him for one of the pigs. It
was such a little pig that it didn't
look like IT would live, but l nursed
1t good, and 1 prayed to the Lord to
make that little pig come for'ard to
do me good, and the pig lived and
grew. The first year I turned her
out, and when she came back in the
fall she brought me seven little pigs
with her. That was my start. I've
never had TO buy any meat since.
This winter I've killed three hogs. and
I've got another at home now ready TO
Kill. I've got 40 acres Of land now. all
paid for, and house. and 1t all come
from that one little puppy"
DO you hear that?" exclaimed Mr..
Washington, you men? Some of
you'd better go back home and swap
your dogs for pigs!"-New York

HOW BEETHOVEN BECAME DEAF.
Injured In Excess OF Anger Caused by
Importunate Tenor.

Beethoven gave the following ac-
count OF how he became deaf to
Charles Neate:
Il had to deal with a tiresome and
capricious tenor. l had already writ
ten two great arias to the same words.
neither Of which pleased him. and also
a third, which he did not care for the
first time he tried it, but which he
took away with him. I was thanking
heaven that I was rid OF him and had
settled down to something else when
in less than an hour 1 recognized his
knock at the door.
Il sprang up from my table in such
a rage that as the man came in at the
door 1 flung myself on the floor as
they do on the stage l fell on my
hands, and when I got up found l
was deaf. The doctor said l had in
jured the nerves"
Lovers Of the great master can &C.

they would like to do to the luckless
tenor.

English Women Are Taller.

That American women are consid-
erably shorter than their English sis
tiers was the dictum laid down BY q
ladies' tailor in lawsuit in London in
which Sydney Lyons sued a Canadian
dressmaker for gowns he had supplied
The Canadian contended that the
dresses were not of American size. ="
Some experts called to give testimony
declared that models for gowns for
English. French and American women
are the same, but Dressmaker Mckay
of Toronto averred: THE English
stock size would not fit anyone in
America. They might fit giraffes, but
not the women of Hamilton. Ontario
The length from the neck to waist of
the American model is 141k inches and
of the English 16 inches. The Ameri-
can shoulder seam is six inches and
the English Az inches" Unimpressed
by these measurements the court gave
judgment for the English dressmaker.

Toad WIthstands Great Pressure.

An experiment bordering close to
the wonderful was recently made in
the clay testing department Of a ma
chinery company at Bucyrus, Ohio. in
which a toad was placed in 20-ton
brick press and was four times sub
jected to a pressure of 1000 pounds
without injury.
The question at issue was whether
such a pressure would kill the toad or
whether it's ability to compress itself
was sufficient to allow it to come out
of the ordeal alive. The toad was first
placed in lump of granulous clay and
the whole pressed into a brick. After
the huge press had done its work the
solid brick was lifted from the ma
chine and the toad winked its eye con-
tentedly, stretched its legs and hoped
away.-Popular Mechanics.

The tributes to the popularity OF Mr..

more because they came from natives

ACT AS SPUR TO MANS PRIDE
Love and Belief Are Powerful Agents
for Reformation.

Love and belief in a man can never
hurt him. 1t will always act as a
spur to his pride. which is invariably
close to mans love, whilst it has
little or nothing to do with a woman's.
Even when the schoolbOy falls in
love with the little girl in pinafores.
his first instinct Is to acquit himself
In her eyes in some magnificent way
to knock out some other boy, or in
timidate a foe.
This instinct remains with men IN
til they die, just as girls from the
cradle or inspired by love seek beauty
to appear lovely in the eyes Of their
adorers.
And the masculine pride and Prov
ess and strength are what the wise
girl Will use in her desire to reform
some man who is merely weak.
Nagging drives such men into the
depths. Every look of derision. snub.
insult, sinks the iron deeper into their
souls.-Exchange

How You Can Find the Blind Spot In
the Eye.

Make a small black circular dot
A-inch in diameter on a piece OF card
board and about inches from the cen
ter of this dot draw a star. Hold the
cardboard so that the star will be d.
rectly in front of one eye. while the
dot will be in front of the other. If
the star is in front of the left eye.
close the right eye and look steadily
at the star while you move the card
board until the point is reached where
the dot disappears. This will prove
the presence of a blind spot in per-
sons eye. The other eye can be CIV
en- the same experiment by turning
the cardboard end for end. The blind
spot does not indicate diseased eyes,
but it simply marks the point where
the optic nerve enters the eyeball,
which point is not provided with the
necessary visual end organs of the
sight, known as rods and cones.
