that there is something wrong with the animal

II is the intention of the National museum

that in great many instances these groups will
be shown in their native habtats. In other
words. not only must the animals be mounted
properly but they must be given the environment
which they have in the field. This means in
some cases the actual construction of trees. with

BOYS in INTENSIVE FARMING
Twelve Thousand Southern Lads
Show How Productiveness Of Land
May Be Increased.

More than 10000 southern boys less
than eighteen years old planted and
cultivated an acre of corn each year
under the direction of the department
OF agriculture. Persons interested in
the experiment in Arkansas, Missis-
sippi, South Carolina and Virginia of
fered to pay the expenses OF trip
to Washington for the boy in each
state who raised the greatest amount
of corn on his acre. The winning
boys will soon visit the national cap
ital
The average yield of corn to the
acre in 1909 was a little more than
twenty-five bushels. The South Caro-
lima boy. who made the best record,
produced 1924, says Youths Com
panion. If they should be followed ex-
actly the yield of corn to the acre
could easily be doubled in a single
year.
Intensive cultivation Is worth while
on all crops. The average yield of
potatoes to the acre in 1909 was 1O7
bushels. but the Maine farmers aver
aged 225 bushels. and some of the
more progressive of them dug 400
bushels to the acre. The yield of corn
and potatoes depends more upon culti-
walton and fertilization than upon the
soil, and there is practically no part
of the United States in which these
crops cannot be raised successfully
1t is beyond doubt that larger crops
can be produced from ten acres thor
oughly titled than from two or even
three times ten acres cultivated as
they usually are. The fact that the
South Carolina prizewinner raised
more corn on one acre than the aver
age farmer produces from six tells
story that should not be lost upon
those for whose benefit the expert
ment was made.

PLANT LOOKS LIKE INSECTS
Spots on Orchid Resemble Flies and
Bees-ImitatIons Are PuzIing
to Flower Scholars.

Orchid limitations are a puzzle to
flower scholars. The whole appear
ance of the flower is suggestive of
some insect, sometimes to quite re-
markable degree. 1t does not seem
easy to find any real purpose that
could be served by this resemblance,
yet no one imagines that 1t can be
accidental.
Any one who knew of the bee or
child, a native of Europe. and came
upon It for the first time would at
once recognize 1t. 1t seems to be a
large velvety brown backed bee
variegated with yellow. The two
lateral petals might serve well for the
wings of the insect.
In the center of the lip of the fly
orchid there is small blush spot
like the body of fly. The two lateral
petals are slender and curiously like
the antennae of an insect. The whole
illusion is complete and suggests to
the casual glance that few ries are
hanging on the stem of some plant
which has cast its flowers.

LARGEST ANIMAL IN WORLD
Represented by Colossal Skeleton of
Whale Eighty-seven Feet Long
In New Zealand Zoo.

What is claimed as the largest ami
NAL in the world is represented by a
colossal skeleton in the museum of
Christchurch. New Zealand This is
the remains of large specimen of
the blue whale stranded on the coast
of that country. This whale is prob
ably the largest of all living animals
The length of the skeleton is 81 feet,
and the head alone is 81 feet. The
weight of the bones is estimated at
nine tons. This gigantic whale gets
its name of blue whale from the dark
bluish-gray of its upper surface The
tinge of yellow on its lower part has
led to the name sulphur bottom" by
which 1t is known on the western side
of the Atlantic 1t is otherwise known
as Sibbald's rorqual (Balenoptera sib-
baldii).
The chief food of this gigantic ami
NAL is a small marine crustacean
(Trysanopoda inermis), known to the
whalers as "kril." Another species of
the same shrimp-like group has been
obtained in thousands from the stom-
achs of mackerel caught on the Cor
nish coast The nearly related opos-
sum shrimps, found in enormous num-
ber in the Greenland seas. form the
chief food of the common whale.
Some of the thysanopoda are phos-
phorescent and contribute to the
luminosity of the sea.

it much easier to pull his comrades

of the Mexican Southern Pacific rail-
road, after being shut down for three
years on account of the high cost of
fuel is being put in order for service,
as the company expects to blow in
the smelter before the rainy season be-
gins. Ore is being shipped to the plant
which is in the heart of a rich min
eral district. The company owns
number of groups of properties with
good fluxing ores. The original inten-
ton was to use lead as a collector but
it has been decided to use copper, as not
sufficient lead is available for continu-
Gus runs.
The smeIrer is on the west bank of
the Yaqui river on a hillside, and the
sampling works and bedding patio are
above the level of the feed floor. The
equipment consists of a 30X100 inch
furnace, a 36-inch round furnace, and a
reverberatOry furnace for fines and flue
dust. The sampler has a daily capacity
of so tons. There is also a refinery
The power plant consists of two en-
gines, one an Erie high-speed belted to
a 25-kw generator for light and power.
There is an ice plant and machine
shop. Native wood is used as fuel, but

BOCA ANGLIA BUILDS
ANOTHER BIG MILL
Company in Ayutla District
Decides to Increase It's
CaOacitv

Guadalajara, Mex, July 30.-Since the
visit of several of the directors of the
! BOca Ancha Mining company to the
mines of that corporation in the Ayut-
/ IA district, state of Jalisco, a decision
has been reached to increase the capac-
ity of the reduction works to 100 tons
of ore per day, and construction with
that end in view will soon begin Be
sides charging the capacity of the
present grinding mill, a complete cyan
ide annex will be installed to treat the
tailings.
An abundance of milling ore was re-
Gently uncovered in a new shoot fifty
feet below the old workings in the
Boca Ancha, which assays 500 grams
silver and a few grams of gold per ton,
and these values are steadily improv-
ing with depth as the shaft is being
sunk. The ore shoot is two meters
wide and there is several hundred feet
Of it in sight. The vein is forty feet
wide
The Boca Ancha has been producing
a high grade of concentrates for several
months, from ore taken in exploration
work. and is making its way finan-
cially.
Now that the system for the treat
ment of the ores has been determined.
a ten-stamp mill will be erected. and
the old Chilian mill used for regrinding
in the cyanide department. Concentrates
will be taken off as the pulp flows over
the first jig tables, and the output will
consist of high grade crude metalics and
bullion Everything points to a divi-
dend for the Boca Ancha next year.
The directors who visited the mine
were Z. Zimmerman, F. L. Zimmerman
and A. NJ. Swift of Rochester, n. Y.
George Zimmerman is president of the
company and c. Z. Lee, mine and mill
manager, assisted by l. Crum, superin-
tendent.
