Water Publication by Light.

FROM the Literary DiSeet.
II Is we'll known that sunlight possesses
germicidal properties, but 1t has not been
thought possible to rival these with any
artificial source Of light. 1t now appears
however. that these properties are due
chiefly, not to the visible, but 10 the ultra
violet. rays, and that artificial light
sources rich in these rays may also be
fatal to bacteria and hence useful as
germicides. For instance, Messrs. Jules
Courmont and T. Nogier have just re-
ported TO the Paris Academy of Sciences
that drinking water may be easily steril-
lied by the use Of the quartz mercury
vapor electric lamp. Says the Revue
Scientifique In a brief report:
BY means of the Kromayer lamp a
amperes and 135 volts the authors have
obtained an intense bactericidal power in
water 0.3 meters about a fooD from the
lamp. The sterilization is complete, en-
bracing all the ordinary microbes Of wa
ter. the colon-bacillus. Eberth's bacillus,
etc, at the end OF one or two minutes.
even when the water Is extremely foul.

be clear. however. The use of the quart
mercury-vapor lamp may thus enter into
Industrial practice in the sterilization or

to arrange the lamps either in reservoir
or in q water main, at suitable distances,
so that the water will be illuminated TOR

SHOOTING WHALES.
Modern Whalers Use a Cannon and
an Explosive Harpoon.

From the London Worlds Work.
Whaling with modedn methods in Alas
kan waters is an exciting game. espe-
cialIy for those who are new 10 the busi-
ness. The modern whaling steamer is
little vessel almost round on the bot
tenn which enables 1t to be turned and
managed with the greatest ease. Mounted
at the bow is small cannon that shoots
a harpoon weighing more than 100 pounds
and having an explosive head, called the
bomb.
If the shot is good and the harpoon
is planted squarely behind the fin the
bomb crashds into the lungs, killing in
stantly; if nit. the struggle may last for
several hours
After whale has been killed the car
cass is brought alongside the boat ana
inflated SO that II will float A long coll
of rubber hose. one end OF when Is at
tached to a pump. and the other to
hollow spear-pointed tube of steel, with
perforations along its entire length, Is
used for this purpose.
The spear is thrust well down into the
whales side, the air pump started and
the body slowly fillsd with air. When in
dated enough to keep 1t afioat the tube
is withdrawn. the fncision plugged with
oakum and the carcass cast off. buoy
with a flag is attached to the body, and
it is then set adrift to be picked up at the
end of the days hunting.
The whaling station is a group of build
ings situated in a bay or cove near
enough to the feeding grounds TO allow
the steamer to come in each night with
the days catch. The whales are anchored

Seekers of Buried Treasure.

From the New York World.
The expedition which has been explor-
ing the south seas In a gasoline schooner
In search Of the hoard of Billy Hayes,
pirate and freebooter. supposed to be
located on Christmas Island, has returned
to Honolulu empty-handed. It's ill-suc-
cess will not be expected to discourage
the scientific treasure seekers who were
recently reported as about to leave New
York in quest of the chest of gold reputed
to have been buried off the coast OF Nova
Scotia by Capt. Kidd. Hope springs eter-
nal in the breasts of all who have ever
felt the lure of the romance of treasure
seeking. This latter expedition provided
as ii Is with steam pumps and hydraulic
siphons and carrying complement of
caisson experts. may be counted on to
make short work of the difficulties which
Like the one which failed of its purpose
in the south seas, 1t inspires interest as
evidencing the survival of the spirit of
the old sea rovers. The good wishes of
all lovers of romance. of all whose hearts
have ever throbbed at the mention of the
Spanish main go with the gentleman ad-
venturers who in the twentieth century
depart on sixteenth century quest of a
pirate hoard.
For all such the gold is there to be had
il only the delusion could be dispelled
that 1t Is contained In hidden chests. AS
a case in point, a recent episode In Brit
ish colonial administration has revealed
the success of an English company. pos
sessed of the south sea spirit of adven-
ture, but equipped with knowledge of
industrial chemistry. which by pay
ment of $50 year for the right to mine
deposits of chemicals on one of the Gill
bert Islands has realized a profit of above
100000 annually on its investment.

The Lost Relics Of Sentiment.

From the New York World.
The sale at auction of a strand of yarn
made from the first fleece of Mary's
Little Lamb" calls attention to the lam
entabe lack Of public interest in the
preservation Of relics of this order, price
less as they are in sentimental associa-
tions. 1t is gratifying to know that a
lock Of the wool precious to childhood
has been saved to posterity.
But where now is the "old oaken
bucket? Where is that old armchair !
Where the little brown Jug" the grand
fathers clock that was too tall for the
shelf and the curfew bell that must not
ring tonight? Is there even a single
shoulder strap of the Mulligan Guards
In existence? Alas. wanton indiffer-
ence has permitted these choice relics to
disappear. 1t might be thought that a
generation which has shown itself sensi-
tive to the dissertation Of Riley's "old
swimmin' hole" would exercise greater
care in preserving these souvenirs OF
sentiment.
We are accustomed to boast our mod
ern superiority in all things. But the
ancients could give us points in collect
ing. Marco Polo on his travels learned
treasures two Of Adams teeth and a lock
of his hair. Pliny says there was ex.
hibited at Rome the petrified carcass OF
the sea monster Perseus slew in rescu.
ing Andromeda and which he turned to
stone by causing 1t to look on the head
OF Medusa. What was our Cardiff Giant
to that?

ard down dale, have become important
events ip the local history. The migra-
tions of 'eels have not attracted as much
attention as the movements of other ami
mails, but are quite as remarkable.
r. c. Bruce of Ngaruru states that re-
cent dredging operations by vessels fitted
out for philosophical Investigations have
proved beyond all doubt not only that
eels breed in the sea. but far out at sea.
where their breeding places have been
found.
Old Maoris on the west coast of the
North Island state that when the eels go
toward the sea in a large body they are
led by two individuals of an enormous
size. John r. Macdonald of Levin told
Mr. Bruce that he once saw one OF these
migrations, with two large eels in the
van.
Overland Journeys at night. which are
characteristic Of some eels. have been
noted in New Zealand. Mr.. Bruce has
been told by some very old Maori friends
that they have known eels to undertake
fairly long Journeys by night. On one
occasion the Maoris had camped for the
night on a spur that is the watershed be-
tween the Wangaehu and Manguwhero
rivers About midnight their attention
was arrested by their dog, which was
much excited and barking furiously.
When they went out to ascertain the
cause Of the disturbance they found that
the dog was following UP an enormous
eel. which was on one Of its land jour-
news

TRAINED TREES.
They May Be Made to Fit Any Space
or to Take ANY Form.

From Country Life in America.
An expert can make a vine Of an apple
or pear tree, tree of a gooseberry or
currant bush, or a snake of either He
will twist. pinch and fondle the descend
ant Of some mighty apple tree. with its
gnarled branches and its forty foot
spread measuring, planning and nursing
until instead of assuming the shape of its
parent it will grow to fit some space on
the side of his house, huggins the wall
like vine, or possibly will form screen
to hide his kitchen porch
In the rich mans garden abroad we see
all sorts of curious forms to which fruit
trees have been trained. Some are beau
tiful. some are freakish, but all are Won
derful. In vases, Tyres, shields. crests
monograms. soldiers. beautiful maidens.
the apple or pear tree and the currant
bush lose their Identity.
Those that are trained like vines GER
tainly possess distinctive decorative val
ue. In the old days every estate in Eng
gland worth while had specimen box
tree-a superior example of topiary work
which was pruned To resemble Queen
Eliza beth.
In the poor mans garden abroad a
trained fruit tree finds its greatest use
fulness. No garden is too small for a few
trees The peasant. with a scant six
inches or foot between his walk and his
neighbor's fence. still has room to plant
tree and train ii against lattice.
While the necessity for maximum re-
turns from minimum acres is not a part
of our national point of view. the possi-
bility of the training Of trees as hobby
has been very much overlooked.
In Germany you can buy tree to
measure to fill in any space on your gar
den wall or house. just as we buy ready
made suit of clothes. While the training
of fruit trees has become popular only
within ten years. the Formoostbaum-
schulen, or schools where trees are
trained are now to be found everywhere
in Germany. There are commercial nurse
ries where experts in cSpalier work are
constantly making new forms and Great
ing new marvels. Certain shapes have
become standard, such as pyramids, cor
dons palmettos and so on.
There are practically no nurseries in
America that have taken up the propaga-
ton and sale of trained fruit trees in a
serious way. and there is almost no

NO TIPS IN FINLAND.
Maids Surprise on Receiving Money
From Mistress Guests.
From the London Rost


A country where there are no tips and
where small services are rendered to the
stranger without hope of reward would
seem hard to find-yet such country is
Finland.
So far the tourist has not appeared in
any great numbers, and consequently the
commercial spirit which his advent al
ways marks has been absent. AS an ex-
ample of this. Nine. Aino Malmberg, a
Finnish lady, who is paying a visit to
this country. tells an amusing story.
Two English friends whom she had met
while over here had been staying with
her at her house in Helsnsfors, and on
leaving gave the maid q tip.
She was very much aStonished and did
not know what ii meant. Seeing Nine.
Malmberg's son coming downstairs. she
ran to him and said, They gave me
money. Did they give YOU any?' Hear
ing that they had not done so. she was
much my ystified. II cannot understand
why they should give it to me and not
to you, when they know you much bet
ter than me" was her perplexed COM

THE WITCHES TREE.
Superstitions Regarding the In
fuence Of the Elder.


From Selbornes Magazine.
Country people speak Of the elder tree
as the witches tree" and planted 1t
near farm buildings and daires to keep
off witches. They also say that the roots
should never come near a well, still less
grow into 1t, or the water will be spoiled.
Evelyns opinion was also unfavora Bile.
He says: Il do by no means commend
the scent of it, which is very noxious to
the air.
1--WE learn from Biesus that a certain
house in Spain, seated among many elder
trees, diseased and killed nearly all ITS
inha bitants, which. when at last they
were grubbed up became a very healthy
and wholesome place"
Cattle scarcely touch the elder, and the
mole is driven away by the scent. Cart
ers often placed branches on their horses
heads to keep OF flies. Nothing will grow
we'll In the company of the elder and
when 1t has been removed and all its
roots carefully grubbed up 1t is some few
years before the ground becomes perfect
ly sweet and good for anything.
The berries besides feeding the birds
make excellent country wine, delicious
with soda water In summer or taken hot
in winter. The wood is particularly good
for skewers, and the curious jews red
fungus grows on elder stumps. A species
of elder In the Tyrol is covered with beau
tiful scarlet berries

The methods of penetrating the upper
strata of the air on board vessel equip
ped with the latest devices for meteoro-
logical observations. include kites, sound
ing balloons, captive balloons and pilot
or free balloons. With the exception OF
the free balloons, all these vehicles are
equipped with a wonderful instrument
called meteorograph which makes an
automatic record of the conditions Of the
air. In spite of Its complicated mechan-
ism the meteorograph weighs but two
pounds. 1t contains cylinder. revolved
by clock work. around which Is wound a
sheet Of paper. and upon this sheet four
different meteorological conditions are
recorded: humidity, pressure or altitude
temperature and wind velocity. The hui
midity record Is traced by a pen actuated
by a strand of human hairs, which
lengthen when exposed to moist air and
shorten in dry air.
