known as the oXy-acetylene blow-pipe.
BY burning acetylene in an atmosphere
of pure oxygen, the highest tempera-
ture in chemistry is evolved, practi-
cally equaling the electric arc. A pen
Gil of flame two or three inches long,
and no larger than the barrel of
fountain pen, can be drawn across
piece of sheet metal. and literally
melts The metal in two. The process
can be reversed and sheet metal, iron,
brass, copper, aluminium, and, in fact,
orally melted together and, curiously.
the joint is so perfectly formed that
file will not disclose the point of frac-
ture. Bridge Orders have been cut
with great rapidity, and it is stated
that this simple pencil of flame prom
ises a revolution in the methods of
metal working establishments.
Another curious phase of the sub,
ject is the fact that calcium carbide at
certain temperatures has the power of
fixing the nitrogen of the air and in
this way will produce a fertilizer
called cyanamide, which is found equal
to the CHILEAN nitrates. Few people
realize that $15.O0O,O00 worth of Chill
ian nitrates have been imported into
this country and used by the farmers
here during the past year.
Calcium carbide is a rock like sub
stance produced by melting together
lime and coke in the electric furnace.
1t is not affected by any substance en-
cept water and when brought in con-
tact with water 1t gives off rapidly the
gas known as acetylene.
The bulletin on calcium carbide
and acetylene can be had free by ap-
plication, accompanied by six cents
postage, to the Department Of Chemis-
try, the Pennsylvania State College.

A Southern clergyman tells the fol-
lowing amusing story:
After the morning sermon one Sun.
day he had read the notices for the
week, and then announced the clos
Ing hymn-Number so-and-so. At
that moment one of the deacons came
down the aisle. and the minister
paused to hear what he had to say,
which was that the pastor had forgot
ten to give notice of meeting Of the
ladies' of the congregation.
Accordingly the divine gave the no.
tice, apologizing to the congregation
for his forgetfuness, and then again
announced the number Of the hymn,
and proceeded to read it. His feelings

A Pleasant Prospect.

A Philadelphia woman. whose given
name is Mary. as is also the name OF
her daughter. had recently engaged a
domestic, when, to her embarrassment.
she discovered that the servants name
too, was Mary.
Whereupon there ensued a struggle
to induce the applicant to relinquish
her idea that she must be addressed
by her Christian name. For some time
she was rigidly uncompromising.

lady of the house. there is nothing to

Teachers QuaIific cations.

One morning. a few weeks ago. as a
South Jersey country physician was
driving through a village. he saw a
man, slightly under the influence of
liquor, amusing n crowd of spectators
with the antics Of his trick dog. The
doctor pulled up and watched the fun
a while and then said:
"My dear man. how do you manage
to train your dog that way? l can't
teach mine n single trick"
The man addressed looked up. and
with that simple rustic look replied:
well, you see. it's this way: You
have to know more'n the dog or you
can't earn him nothin'.'-

The relations of the government Of
flee of experiment stations with the
state stations have never been more
cordial than they are at present. They
are doing more scientific and practical
work. They are carrying their studies
more thoroughly over the states and

farmers and their problems. During
the year they published 459 annual re-

A movement 10 organize more than
10000 boys and girls over the state

Professor Ctttrell declares that

points out the importance of such in
drawing still more settlers to Colo

Most of them are unacquainted with
the conditions and methods that Sc
cure the best results in Colorado. They
need help from the college. If they
succeed, they will bring thousands Of
other settlers to the state. Their fail
ure means a permanent injury. For
the benefit of the state, the college
should hold a farmers institute in
every settlement where new settlers
are numerous.
"There are thousands of new set
tiers on Colorado farms who need in

There are more than 10000 boys

institute department should organize
these boys in school districts and
township clubs to grow grains, pota-
toes. sugar beets, melons and field
peas, to feed Colorado crops and to
study methods and markets. Each year
boys institute should be held in a
township at which the products grown

advantage that the sash may be en-

Care Of Seed Corn.-Seed corn at
picking time has a high content of
moisture. Sometimes 1t Is dried by ar
tificial heat, but this is dangerous.
The chances are that the germ Will
start to grow. The important things
are ventilation. a dry atmosphere and
an even temperature. Corn suspended
on a wire In a well-ventilated granary
or shed in such way that there Is
free circulation of air about each ear
is a very favorable way. Corn that Is
thoroughly dry cannot be injured by a
freeze.

Increase in Wheat Production.

Washington, Nov. 12.-There has
been an increase of nearly 900. 000, 900
bushels. or fully one.sixth, in the
production of wheat recently harvest
ed In six countries In the northern
hemisphere. which in 1908 produced
practically two-thirds of the worlds
supply.
These countries embrace the United
states. Canada. France. Hungary,
Russia and Roumania, and the figures
are gathered from the latest estimate
published of the production for each
country.
Although Improvement was noted in
the prosects Of the European sugar
beet crop during the last month. the
probable production during the COM
ing season is still unofficialiy esti-
mated considerably lower than in

NATIONAL CONFERENCE At 6OS-
TON ON MORTALITY AMONG
BABES COMES TO END.

New Haven, Conn. Nov. 1a.-"Let
us establish homes for mothers and
their children where both can receive
proper care" This was the plea
made by various speakers at today's
session of the conference on the pre-
vention of infan; mortality. The ses-
sion was devoted to discussion of
the institutional prevention of death
among babies.
As a result of the conference which
ended today society for the study
and prevention OF infant mortality
will be formally organized tomorrow
morning. Resolutions drawing atten-
ton to the need of the work on the
question We're passed.

and Hospital of Cleveland. told of
the educational campaign that has
been carried on by that hospital in
instructing the mothers who bring
their children to the dispensary in
the proper care of the babies. and
particularly in encouraging maternal
nursing. He illustrated the impor-
lance Of such instruction by an analy-
ct, rs .Int ntr
dispensary cases. He spoke also Of
the custom prevailing in some parts
of GERMANY, of awarding premiums to
mothers whose babies show the most
marked Improvement within given
period.
Prof John NJ. Tyler spoke on The
Responsibility of the Medical Profess
sion for Public Education in Hy-
giene.' 1T is evident" he said.
that the best means of decreasing
infant mortality is to make sure of
a race of healthy babies. Healthy
children demand healthy parents. The
next generation of parents is being
made strong or weak in home and
school today by an environment fur
nished by parents and teachers.
These latter cannot be too well in
structed in physiology. hygiene and
biology. The possibilities. value,
glory and necessity of vigorous and
efficient life cannot be too strongly
