BUSY LITTLE WORMS
ENDANCER BRIDGES
Wisconsin Man Finds Pests Eat
Woodwork Under Water.

Green Bay, Wis, Oct. 4.-Through
a discovery by a Green Bay man the
method of under water construction
in bridge and other work may be revo-
iutionized. The discovery was made
by George Green, engineer and diver,
who has been working for the North
western railroad on bridge work at
Clinton, Ia.
Green, who had been placing dyna-
mite under the cribs which support,
ed the old bridge, found that worms
had attached themselves to the TIM
bers far below the low water line and
had eaten into the wood, and eventu-
ally would make the structure unsafe
The worm is about half an inch long
and white.
1t is the opinion of Engineer Frank
cambridge, who is in charge of the
construction of the company's new
bridge across the Mississippi river,
that the discovery will attract nation
al attention.

The Diamond Remains a Mystery.

bic intensity Of fiery CONFUSION from
the white hot insurgent heart of the

Sun COOKING.

Sun cooking roasting and boiling by
sunlight instead of by coal or gas-has
been going on for 300 years. There are
sun stoves that roast a sirloin or boil
soup to perfection. They are only
used. however. by scientists. A sun
stove consists mainly Of mirror-a
spherical mirror-on joint. There is
also a reflector. The place for pot or
plate is so situated that the mirrors
rays can be focused on it accurately.
A German. Baron Tcherhausen. was
the first sun cook. He began in 1857 to
boil water. and in 1858 he had very
good success in boiling eggs. Sir John
Herschel and Button are other famous
names associated with sun cooking.
In California various sun cooks have
boiled gallon Of water in twenty
minutes. roasted meat in two hours
and poached eggs in fifteen minutes,
quite as good time as the ordinary fire
makes.
An odd thing about meat roasted by
sun rays is that it has an unpleasant
taste. This is avoided by the insertion
of plate of yellow glass between the
meat and mirror. In all solar stoves
the sheet of yellow glass figures. Lon

The Candle Tree.

One of the wonders of the vegetable
kingdom is undoubtedly the candle
tree of Panama, known to botanists
as Parmentiera cerifera. This tree
produces from its stem and older
branches great profusion of yellow
ish, cylindrical, smooth fruits, twelve
to eighteen inches long, which appear
exactly like wax candles, as the botan-
zeal name implies. So close is this
resemblance that travellers. seeing the
tree for the first time, are liable to be
temporarily puzzled as to whether the
candles of shops are made in factories
or grown on trees! The candle-like
fruits are suspended from the branches
and bare stem by short, slender stalks.
dangling in the air, and readily give
the impression of the chambers shop.
AS night falls and the numerous fire.
flies move among the fruit this impress
sion is intensified. The inexperienced
traveller is not infrequently informed
that the freflies perform the duty of
lighting up these candles at night
when light is required by the denizens
of the jungle-London Strand.

A Shocked Scot.

The London Chronicle says that two
Englishmen recently touring in Scot
land found that Sabbatarianism occa-
sionally extends to the middle Of the
week. They were forced by the wealth
er TO take refuge in a small country
hotel and after lunch adjourned to the
billiard room to kill time until the rain

Hypnotic Power In Animals.

An interesting instance of the hyp-
motto power possessed by good many
animals is given by correspondent OF
the Glasgow Herald One morning
outside Elgin a blackbird was OBJ

side. paying no heed to the footsteps
of the passerby. 1t was gazing fixed
~ at four young weasels under the
hedge which were approaching in a
semicircle. apparently to surround it.
Just then a warning cry was heard
from behind. uttered presumably by
the parent weasel, and the young ones
disappeared in the hedge. The bird
still remained powerless and immova-
bic, and only after repeated urging did
it fly to a tree near by. when it gave
forth weak. frightened sound, as
though still under the influence of the
terror which had arrested Its faculties.

One Sided Gambling.

Championina the Norm.

M incident that occurred some years
ago during a sessions Of the British

Ill>tratiun of lie power of satire To
bring about results thai sober argyll
nient often fails to accomplish.
There had been introduced bill de-
signed 10 prevent cruelty to wild ani-
mails in captivity. 1t was opposed on
the ground that. If passed. il would
endanger certain kinds Of legitimate
sport.
When the Earl of Kimberley arose
be gravely admitted the force of this
argument.
There can be no Doubt said he.
that the bill would put an end to fish
ing with worms as bait. 1t is a bill to
prevent cruelty to wild animals in
captivity. The schedule states that
the word animal shall be held to in
clude reptile. A worm may be held to
be reptile. worm impaled on
hook must certainly be held to be in
captivity; therefore the angler who
uses a live worm Tor bait would be
guilty of cruelty to an animal in cap
