~ A South Australian farmer dur
ing the harvest has used a l-2
horsepower motor bicycle to winnow
his wheat. 1t connects with the
winnower by a universal shaft, the
motor being housed In trolley,
which is easily movable from place
to place. When knock-off time comes
it is disconnected in about two min
utes and is ridden home. One gallon
of petroleum cleans 100 bags Of
wheat, which costs with oil used
about Id. a bag.
3J The eel has singular formation
by which 1t is enabled to retain life
longer than any other fish. This is
a bladder at the back Of its upper
fins, which 1t fills with water and is
thereby enabled to moisten its gills
for a considerable time when out Of
water. An cells heart Is In its tail,
where its beats can be plainly seen.
