New Use for MOVING Picture.

The moving picture is now applied
to educational purposes. Chemical
tests are now exhibited on the screen.
There are films illustrating the cleo
trolysis of water, the action of nitric
acid on silver. and action of aqua
regia on metallic gold, etc. The test
tube is thrown On the screen many
times enlarged and the chemical ac-
ton clearly illustrated. Most un-
savory but educational is film illus
trating the peril of the fly. The flies
are shown laying eggs in unsavory
places, and before the eyes of the
spectators the eggs develop in heaps
of wriggling maggots. In the final
stage the winged fly is shown in all
It's unsanitary glory. Still another
film exhibits the acrobatic fly lying on
its back juggling various articles with
its feet, and even swinging a dumb
bell as large as the insect itself.

BAR WOMEN AT HUNT

Fortunately he continues, "the
women seem, upon the whole, to ride
better than they used TO do, and to
be growing keener about it. Plenty
of men will, of course, tell you that
women who ride across country quite
fearlessly do so in almost every in
stance through ignorance of the
danger.
That theory is false one. Dozens
Of times / have seen women, who
we'll know the risks they ran in taking
certain lines of country when the
hounds are running hard, give men
who were hesitating at an awkward
fence lead over. for woman's intui-
tion and her quickness of thought and
decision serve her in the hunting field
just as they do elsewhere.
1T Is curious, but it may be sig
nificant, that while the vast proper
ton of men of the well-to-do class
seem TO be satisfied with amusements
needing neither nerve nor grit, the
women are becoming more addicted
to games and forms of sport that call
for the risk of limb and sometimes
life.
Whether the fashion of riding

"GIRL" WEIGHS 685 POUNDS
Miss Trixie and Her Little" Brother
Together Tip Scales at Plus
Half a Ton.

Seattle, Wash.-Miss Trixie, the 6S5-
pound Astoria On. " girl who has
been exhibited all over the country,
gave considerable trouble to the off,
GERS of the steamship Aymeric. Miss
Trixie, with her brother, Baby Trixie,
are being taken to the big exposition
at Marking, China, to be held this
summer, and when the fat girl arrived
at the wharf the trouble began by the
captain being called on to provide a
gangplank sufficiently strong to allow
Miss Trixie to board the ship.
The gang plank was made, but a
ten-foot section had to be taken out
of the ships rail to admit the 92-inch
hips of the fat New York girl. Then
how to get her into the cabin and
from the cabin into state room and
from the state room to a berth large
and strong enough, ETC., etc., caused
the captain and first officer to have
! brainstorms.
The two "children"-one is twenty
and the other eighteen-together
weigh 1921 pounds. They will have to
sleep on the floor of their state rooms
on this trip across the Pacific.
Miss Trixie was finally settled com
| fortably in the finest room on board
the ship, but her meals will have to be
brought to her, for the door to the
saloon is too small for her girth and
the stairs are too weak to hold hel
weight Strange to say, the fare oi
these two heavyweights is the same
as it is for ninety-six-pound China

Homemade Pump.

lowing the directions given below
one can be constructed with small ex-
pense:
Get check valves 3. inch to an inch
in size and pipes to fit. Bore hole
in the side of pump barrel near the
bottom. put in a nipple and screw on
check valve. Then screw on an ell
bow with the opening upward. In the
bottom of barrel bore a 11a-inch hole
and put a piece of leather over it.
Leather should be put on the inside
cf barrel and nailed down on only one
side so it can flap up and down.
Make the plunger of hard wood, ma
king it to fit rather loosely on the in
side of barrel For a rod get straight
pole IL inches square and fasten it
securely to the plunger. When this is
done all that remains is to make box
frame for rod running to pump handle
and frame to run the pipe out of
the top of well.
To do this take boards long enough
to reach down into the water, cut the
ends off square and plane them
smooth. Then, using a square, make
a box inches square on the inside.
The barrel with it's valves should be
sunk below the surface of the water
IL to 2 feet By putting two elbows
on the upper end of pipe the water
will be thrown downward into pail or
| trough.
The pump can be let down into the
well by mailing cleats on the sides, but
one must be careful not to let the nails
go through into the barrel and thereby
| spoil the pump. This pump can only
be used in shallow wells, as it could
not be made strong enough for a deep
well.

SUCCULENCE IN MILK FOODS
Water Which Cow Gets in Her Food
Rather Than That She Drinks
That Goes Into Milk.
CBy CHAs. C. wENTzLER.

Succulence is a term applied to
foods which contain a certain proper
ton of water. Milk is "a per cent.
water. In summer cattle get all the
succulence they require. In winter
succulent foods have to be furnished
# we expect to keep up the milk flow.
1t is the water which the cow gets
In her food rather than the water
which size drinks that goes into the
milk. Much of the water which she
drinks is used by nature to carry off
certain chemicals in the system for
which she has no longer any use. The
excess of nitrogen is carried off in this
way and gives this expelled water an
ammonia odor.
All grains contain some water, but
not enough. Silo and roots are rich
in water content When her ration
is made up of share of succulence
In winter the COW keeps up her nor
NAL supply. But it is due to this
principle that an improperly winter
fed COW, increases her milk flow when
she is returned Ito pasture in the
spring.

RED, WHITE AND BLUE ROSE
Californian Is Already Two-Thirds
Successful in His Patriotic Ex-

Los Angeles, Cal.-Having a rose
bush which produces a red and white
flower, Park Superintendent Long of
Long Branch thinks he can make 1t
add a blue shade also. and thus he
will have national flower.
Last year a bush in Pacific park
bore snow-white roses. This season
the flowers are beautifully tinged
with red. Long attributes this fact to
the proximity of a red rose bush and
says that by next year, when the
roots of the bushes mingle, the red
stripe will be even more pronounced.
He is now planning to force the red
and white bush to take on the shade
of blue.

Raising Calf on Milk.

1t is an expensive proposition to
raise a calf on milk at the present
market price. The quantity of milk
which a calf will require for its main
tenance and growth may be somewhat
reduced By early teaching the calf to
eat hay, corn and other foods The
Young calf will learn to eat shelled
corn at four or five weeks of age and
hay at the same age, or even earlier.
BY giving it these feeds twice daily
regularly the milk ration may be re-
duced.
