The Structure Of Ferns.

When Towering plants usually
make seed, that is generally the last
effort for plant life. The seed is
the beginning of the life Of the new
plant. Ferns, however, only pro-
duce spores for reproductive pur-
poses. These spores germinate and
90 through the same process subse-
quently that flowers 60 through in
the production Of seeds. The
spores expand when the germinst-
ing time comes and form a fiat,
green membrane. What are then
really the flowers appear on this
membrane. As general rule after
these fern flowers have matured the
membrane dries up and disappears.
In one family of ferns, however, ma
tives of New Holland, named platy-
cerium, this green blade is perma-
nent and continues to enlarge, be-
coming really portion of the
plant. Every year a new blade is
formed which spreads over the old
ones. The large plant is of to-
tally different character, having the
fronds of ordinary ferns.

Antiauity of Gold Leaf.

The origin of the gold leaf, like
the first use of gold itself, is lost in
the mists of antiquity. 1t is found,
for example, in connection with the
most ancient known mummies, hav-
ing been used for covering teeth,
tongue, skin, etc. Sometimes 1t is
also found Oh the collins. Gold leaf
was also usei on the tombs and
monuments of ancient Egypt. The
process of making gold leaf has
thus been known since the eighth
century B. C. In the eleventh
century it seems to have attained
as high degree Of perfection as
today. The gold leaf on some an
cient Grecian pottery indeed is as
thin as that now used.-Magazine

The Ostrich.

That ostriches hide their heads
in the sand and think that their
bodies are thereby hidden seems to
be pure myth, says the London
Times. Old birds on the nest and
young birds when seeking to evade
notice squat close to the ground and
stretch their necks out fat on the
sand. In the case Of the young,
which harmonizes as perfectly with
their sandy surroundings as young
ringed plover do with the stones on
a beach, the ruse is said to render
them almost invisible, and on the
wide expanses of the desert it is
evident that the upright neck OF a
sitting bird would render it unnec-
essarily conspicuous to a marauding
enemy. But there is no more
ground for accusing the ostrich Of
"self illusion" than there is for
bringing the same charge against
the partridge chick, which by mere
ly sitting still among the grass prac-
tically disappears from sight.

PHOTOGRAPHIC PLATES.
Discarded Ones Make Business For tho
Old Negative Man.

There are people in every large
city who make business of buying
up old used Photographic plates,
cleaning and reselling them. They
get their supply mostly from the
photographers who make special
ty of commercial or newspaper j.
lustratiop No one knows how many
thousands of these squares of glass
are sold every week, but the num-
Der must be enormous in the aggre-
gate.
While it is the custom for pho
tographers to preserve carefully all
plates that they think may be of fu-
ture value, they discard great
many more than they keep. A firm
of newspaper photographers, for in
stance, will send out several men to
get pictures of snow scenes or of
spring in the suburbs or Of summer
at the seaside. Each will bring back
half dozen views. Only three or
four will be selected as being worth
preserving. The other twenty or
thirty plates will be dumped in.o a
big box with the other diseards to
await the coming Of the glass man
The average selling price for the
plate of ordinary size is IS thou
sand. These plates cost the pho
tographer originally about 80 cents
a dozen. BY means Of an acid bath
the dark covering is quickly remov-
ed, and the glass becomes as clear
as though it had never been used.
Some of these plates are sold to
manufacturers to be recoated with
the sensitive film and to be used
once more in photography. A far
greater number, however, are dis
posed of to dealers, who sell them
to people who are fond Of making
passe-partout pictures. Still more
find their way to greenhouse men
and hose gardeners who have acres
of "oold frames," where vegetables
are propagated under glass. A few
are used as decorative OF protective
features around flower beds in sub
urban estates.-Harpers Weekly.

ON A CATTLE SHIP.
Working Ones Passage TO Europe ~
Mighty Hard Job

Mighty Hard Job
a writer in the Philadelphia Rec
ord, telling of working ones pas
, sage to Europe on cattle ship.
says:
The food is the worst part Of the
trip. 1t is nauseating, and but few
can stand it. The bulk of it is serv-
ed in the dishpan, which is carried
| to the galley, and the mainstay is
! "scouse,"' d sort of watery beef stew.
This is varied with corn beef and
cabbage, beans, potatoes and few
other staple articles, all of poor
quality. Tea and coffee are drawn
from huge caldrons directly to the
kettles, with milk and sugar added
in the galley.
The first duties Of the men we're
to tie the cattle up. 1t is no small
matter to secure and control a thor
oughly frightened 1900 poundI
steer, but as, we moved down the
Delaware all became more quiet,
and by / o'clock, al we're securely
fastened, and We went to our first
meal.
Sunday the rsal work began,
which was to be- the routine until.
the end Of the, voyage. Each morn.
ing we were awakened at 4 o'clock.
From 4 to 6 we engaged in the
wet and back breaking work Of wa
tering the cattle: Esch steer drank,
from three to seven bucketfuls, and
as we had only eight pals the prob
lem became how TO- keep them filled
and vet not overflow without shut
ting off the hose: 1t was made
harder by the faot that the steers
fought for the wataE.
From 6 o'clock to 8 we hauled up
from the lower decks by means OF
block and tackle thirty-two bundles
of hay and twenty bags Of corn,
each weighing; 100 pounds. Under
the matches it was sitting work;
above the hands grew blistered from
the ropes. Then third Of the hay:
was fed out. Breakfast followed.
After short rest the troughs were
cleared, corn, fed and the aisles'
swept. Inspection began at 10:3O,.
and the captain, purser and doctor
passed en- tour Of the vessel, look
ing into every nook and granny.
Work finished at noon, after which
there was d respite until 3, when
more hay was given, and again at Z.
We were usually ready for bed at {,
although few times we remained
up until 10.
The cattemen had the entire run
of the great broad open steerage
deck aft and the portion of the bow
forward assigned to the crew. Here
we met many Of the cabin passen-
gers and had jolly good times and
talks with them. On the quiet sew
eral of the higher officers had pleas
ant words for US. To our amuse-
ment ths menials took delight in
making things as unpleasant as pos
sible when opportunity offered.

MUSICAL GLASSES.
The Queer Looking "Armoniea" That
Franklin Devised.

Franklin Devised.
Books have been written about
the many sided Franklin. His om-
nivorcus and practical mind seemed
ready to attack any new branch of
science with the same earnestness.
Music did not escape him, and he
actually invented musical instru-
ment that was sufficiently unique to
arouse the interest of some of the
great masters.
How long musical glasses" have
been used for their special purposes
mo one really knows. There is an
account of an Irish performer who
played upon the musical glasses in
his native country as early as 17+3.
When Gluck went to England
(April, 1746) there is an account of
his playing at the little Haymarket
theater. which runs as follows:
"He played a concerto on twenty
SIX drinking glasses, tuned with
spring water, accompanied by the
whole band, being a new instrument
of his own invention, upon which he
performs whatever may be done
upon the violin or harpsichord."
In Goldsmith's 'Vicar Of Wake
aield" the musical glasses" are
mentioned as being fashionable.
When Franklin was in London
(l7es) he saw a performer upon the
glasses, who played them by wet
ting his fingers and wiping them
over Che brims. Seeking to i'm
prove and systematic this in
strument and at the same time to
extend its usefulness by means Of
the application of mechanical appi-
ances, Franklin devised an unusual
locking instrument which was de-
scribsd thus in Groves Dictionary:
'aThe bells or basins of glass were
ranged or, strung on an iron spindle
Gong rod). The largest and deep
toned ones were at the left and
gradually rose in pitch according
to the usual scale. The lower edges
of tse basins were dipped in 8
trough Of water. The spindle or
rod vas made to revolve before the
performer, so that all the glass
bowls were kept continually going
around and around by means OF q
treadIe connected with the spindle
and operated by the foot Of the per
former. The sound was produced
by applying the fingers to the wet
edges Of the bowls as they revolved.
Franklin called the instrument the
armonica.
Mozart wrote music for this un-
usual musical machine, and it be-
came very popular in parts Of Ger
many. The composer Naumann
wrote sonatas for it, and at one
time it was used in some OF the
court orchestras. Beethoven wrote
a piece of twenty-four measures for
the instrument. In Germany the
instrument was called the harmon
ica. It's tone was often irritating,
penetrating and exciting, and it was
said to have had a bad effect upon
the nerves of the performers

TO SAVE DEAD TIMBER.
Lumbermen to Employ Large Force in
Burned Areas Of Forests.

Spokane. Oct 1-Several billion feet
of dead timber on national forest re-
serves and private holdings in northern
Idaho. western Montana and eastern
Washington and contiguous territory
will be logged and manufactured into
lumber to the exclusion of green trees
in an effort to salvage as much as
possible This work will begin early
this fall, giving employment to from
1000 to 5000 men for two years 1t
will not be necessary to enlarge the
plants or build new ones.
The Western Pine Manufacturers
Association, headed by j. 2. McGold-
rick, of Spokane. adopted resolutions at
its last meeting which was called to
consider the best means of dealing
with the situation in the burned dis
tricts. urging sawmill owners and man
ufacturers TO direct every effort to
save the killed timber, also to assist the
government and timber holders not
owning mills in handling the products
of the fire-swept forests.
1t was decided TO ask the government
to appropriate funds for more ade-
quate patrol system in its forests, the
money to be used in constructing trails
and telephone lines. The association
also urged the government to consider
the advisability of training and en-
ploying federal troops for patrol work
in the national reserves during the
danger season, from May to October
