Guarding Against Earthquakes.

All great crises have stimulated the
creative faculty of mankind, and
earthquakes have, of course, earned a
full share of attention. The most
original notion in this connection was
put forth by genius who quite salts
fed himself that if houses were pro-
vided with wheels or rollers they
would move about backwards and for
wards during an earthquake and es-
cape disaster.

killed by the wild animals of Hindus-

tiger has tasted human flesh he is sat
isfied with nothing else, and that in
southern India one of these man-eat-

USE ELECTRICITY ON FARM
Illinois Woman Gives Interesting Ac-
count of Numerous Uses to Which
She Puts the Little Motor.

I shall endeavor to explain how l
use electricity, which makes my work
easy and farm life pleasure, and
how my husband is using a gasoline
engine with great results, writes Mrs.
w. e. HOLDEN in Orange Judd Farmer.
While he is doing work elsewhere he
can have his engine pumping water
and charging storage battery. He
shells his corn and is in position to
haul at any time. He does not have
to wait for some one to come into the
neighborhood with shelter and then
take his turn. He grinds his own
corn, therefore has the choice of feed
ing in the ear or ground.
At husking time his corn is elevated
into the cribs, again saving labor and
time for all concerned. AT threshing
time he elevates the small grain into
bins which are overhead. Being built
this way, he has not only economical
in space, but again made hard task
easy, for when delivering to market
he drives under chute and in very
short time is loaded and is well on
his way to town.
He has other things which he runs
with the engine, dynamo being one
With it he charges his storage bat
terry, from which we get our current
for our lights, about $50 in all. We
have them in the house, tenant house,
barn, cribs, etc. 1t is great con-
venience to have lights all over the
house or barn with merely the turn
of switch. Think of unloading corn
by electric lights, instead of the dim
old lantern. Old Jerseys corn looks
bigger and lasts better than in olden
time, and she never has to be pun
ished for kicking the light over.
The storage battery, when given a
full charge, will last week on an
average. My husband being his own
machinist and electrician, we can do
this at a very moderate cost. l have
a, motor for my sewing machine,
which is indeed fine. 1t works per-
fectly and is very easily operated.
press on the pedal and this turns on
the current, runs the machine as long
as desired. release the pressure and

rangement which Mr.. HOLDEN studied
out and put into use, the current is
also broken when the foot is released
Speed is regulated by more or less
pressure with the foot.

Tests Of Diamonds.

Most persons are obliged, in the
purchase of diamond, to rely i'm
plicitly upon the word of the man who
sells the stone. While many years of
observation and experience are needed
to become an expert with respect
to the value and purity of diamonds,
yet there are certain extremely sim
pie tests capable of being made by the
most inexperienced.
One is by means of needle hole
pricked through piece of ordinary
cardboard. Looking through the stone
tested at the cardboard, one will see
two holes If the diamond be spurious
only one If the gem be genuine. The
reason for this is that an imitation
diamond will give double refraction,
the real stone but one refraction.
1t is claimed that there is no acid
having any perceptible effect upon a
genuine diamond. HydroAuoric acid
