CROPS FROM OLD IRON.
Farmer Who Sows His Fields with Scrap
with Good Results.

By the merest accident Caesar Angus
tus Leach discovered a new principle in
the raising of spring vegetables and
one which is sure to bring about a
revolution in the whole industry of
trucking, says the Philadelphia North
American.
Running his farm upon scientific lines,
Mr.. Leach sent a sample of soil to the
state college, and was informed that
it was lacking in iron. One of the profess
sors pointed out that iron in the soil pro-
duced strong, full blooded vegetables
Vegetables grown in soil deficient in iron
are almost invariably anaemic, and the
red beets are pale and white.
SO, to restore the soil, Mr.. Leach scat
tered a few loads of scrap iron on the
ground. He was amazed at the improve
ment in the produce. But what most i'm
proved him were the luscious onions
which grew rear a wagon spring, and
the excellence of the spring radishes
which thriYed beside the iron from a
springboard wagon.
Mr. Leach has this year fortified the
ground with the works Of old clocks, and
he hopes to raise a fine crop of hair
spring lettuce.
While car springs will aid materially
in producing a large crop, still the yege-
tables are inclined to be heavy and
coarse. Copper springs should not be
used; they give the vegetables bit
ter taste.

Effect of CoIors on Animals

There are still many undiscovered

in spite of the cry that nothing more

Three Brave Women.

Three women in their nightclothes
fought off an armed and masked man in
the darkness of the midnight hour in the
home of Mrs. Beekman Townsend. out
side the village of Oyster Bay. During
the struggle one woman had both her
hand slashed to the bone by a keen
knife edge and one was beaten over the
head with an iron bar until her scalp
was torn open in four places. After the
three women and Mrs. Townsend, who
is an elderly woman and weak from
recent illness, had fought with the man
for all of fifteen minutes, he broke
away from them, tipped over lamp, put
his foot on the flame, and fed the house
with no plumber and the marks of the
women's nails on his face. He hasn't

From Medical Inspection of Schools"

The author of the article is George

for fOrty-four years, supervisor of the
schools Of Boston and since 1904 secre-
tary of the Massachusetts board Of
education.
The medical inspection Of children

Concerning the immediate results of
the examinations he writes:
Then we consign the unfortunates
to the care of the family physician,
send them to the public dispensary or
the public clinic, or send the school
nurse to look after the cases In the
home, and by these means we patch
up a few. Some glasses are provided,
some teeth cleaned and filled, some
adenoids removed, and many children
begin to know the joy of living.

1t is recorded in the Book of Acts
that the apostles and elders in Jeru-

AS a substitute for the baby carriage
a French inventor has brought out a

A new type of electric locomotive,
of which the New York Central Rail
road will soon have twenty, is capable

The new field gun of the French

English experiments in the sponta-
neous combustion of stacked hay in
dictate that the phenomenon is due to
bacteria, as hay that would not ignite
when sterilized did so after being
sprinkled with water containing earth
or ordinary hay.
The Hon. C. A Parsons says that at
tho beginning of his experiments with
turbines. In 1884, high steam velocities
had to be avoided because of the cut
ting action on metals of minute drops
of water entrained by the steam, and
hurled against the surfaces at a We
locity of $500 feet per second. This
was sufficient to erode a hard file one
thirty-second of an inch in 145 hours
But in the compound turbines now
used this erosion Is practically elm
mated, so that brass and copper blades
can be used. Advance has been made
In the reduction of steam per horse
power. In 1897 the Turbinia con-
sumed 16 pounds per shaft horse
power; in 1901 the King Edward con-
sumed the same amount; but In 1907
the Lusitania consumed only 12
pounds and the Mauritania IL y
pounds. In large turbines there is a
loss Of about 80 per cent in the total
energy, but 1t may be possible to re-
duce this.
The growing use of metallic fla
ments for electric lamps, formed Of
the rare metals tantalum and tung-
c+ao attractc much attention RI those
metals. Tantalum is pure white and
as hard as the best steel. When hot
1t can be rolled, hammered and drawn
out into wire. Its tensile strength
exceeds that of steel. For lamp fila
ments it is drawn into wire hardly
more than one flve-hundredth of an
inch in diameter It's electrical resist
ance is much less than that Of carbon,
so that the filaments have to be much
longer than the ordinary carbon fla
ments when they are used with the
usual l10-volt lamps. Tantalum lamps
have high efficiency and long life, and
give a brilliant white light. Sometimes
when filament breaks it can be
mended by tapping the lamp while
the current is on. The ends coming
into momentary contact are welded.
Tantalum melts at $500 degrees Cent?
grade. Tungsten melts at 5000 de-
grees Centigrade. Like tantalum, 1t
has a much lower resistance than car
bon. Tungsten filaments are some
what delicate, and must be handled
carefully.
