THE TABLED PHOENIX.
Legend Of How the Bird Lived and
Died and Lived Again.

lsaend of How the Bird Lived and
Died and Lived Again.
The ancient tradition concerning the
phoenix has introduced into nearly ev-
cry language the habit Of applying that
name to. whatever. is singular or I'M
common among its kind. According to
ancient writer's, the phoenix was a bird
Of great beauty about the size Of In
eagle. A shining and most beautiful
crest adored its head, it's plumage con
tanned nearly every tint of the rain
bow, and its eyes sparkled like dfa-
monds.
Only one Of these birds could live
at a time, but it's existence covered a
period of 500 or 600 years. When its
life drew to a close the bird built for
itself a funeral pile Of wood and arc
matte spices, with its wings famed the
pile into a fame and therein consumed
itself. From its ashes a worm was
produced, out of which another phoe-
nix was formed, having all the vigor Of
youth.
The nrSt care OL Iue new puoeHlA
was to solemnize it's parents o%bsequies.
For that purpose it made a ball of
myrrh, frankincense and other fra
grant things. At Heliopolis, a city in
lower Egypt, there was a magnificent
temple dedicated to the sun. To this
temple the phoenix would carry the fra
grant ball and burn it on the altar OF
the sun as a sacrifice. The priests then
examined the register and found that
exactly 500 years or exactly 600 years
had elapsed since that same ceremony
had taken place.

later years Of his life to watch for the
coming of white visitors to Fort Sill
or to Miss .AdkiSSon's mission, near by,
in order that lie might sell beaded
canes to them. From the proceeds he
was accustomed to purchase certain
creature comforts not supplied by the
government, but on which he relied
for support in his old age. One day 1
was talking to him about them. He
said: They make me walk straight

A correspondent writes FROM Pom

stated that in different parts of the
motley crowd there were three or four
different purchasers Of this commOd-
ity. who travel the country for the
purpose of attending the fairs and buy

They have particularly fine hair and
frequently in the greatest abundance.
There seemed to be no difficulty in
finding possessors of beautiful heads
Of hair perfectly willing to sell.
we saw several girls sheared, one
after the other, like sheep, and as
many more standing ready for the
shears with their caps in their hands
and their long hair combed out and
hanging down to their waists.
"No doubt the reason of the indif-
ference to their tresses on the part OF
the fair Bretonnes is to be found in
the invariable mode which covers ev-
cry head from childhood upward with
close caps, which entirely prevent any
part Of the hair from being seen aud

A %cRANKLEss ENGINE.
Rack and Pinion Connect Piston Rod
and Driving Wheel.

wv
A very unique method of connecting
a piston rod to a driving wheel with
out the Jlse of a craDb Is illustrated in
the accompanying engraving. The pis'
ton rod terminates in a rack frame in
the form Of a yoke through which the
shaft Of the driving wheel passes. On
this shaft are two pinions arranged
side by side. The rack is formed with
teeth on it's upper surface to engage
m of the pinions and with teeth on
its lower surface to engage the other
pinion. AS the rack is reciprocated
motion is transmitted first to one pin
ion and then to the other pinion Of
the shaft, so that the shaft always
turns in the same direction.
The mechanism for shifting the con
nection from n pinion to the other
consists Of a small rocker placed in a
recess in the shaft which bears against
the ends of two keys SO that it alter
nately forces one or the other into en-
gagement with its respective pinion. At
each end of the rack frame there is a
rock shaft carrying two pins, one Of
which is always in position to reach

ions and press the key out of engage
ment. thus at the same time rocking
the other key into engagement with the
other pinion. The two rock shafts arc
connected by links. and while one is
rocked during it's contact with one
pinion it serves to move the other rock
shaft into position to operate on the
other key at the end of the next stroke.
The motion is reversed by shifting the
rock shafts so as to bring another pair
of pins into play.

MEAsURERS OF LENGTHS.
How the Standards of France and
Great Britain Are Preserved.

Great Britain Arc Preserved.
At the bureau of weights and meas
ures at Scvres, France. the standard
meter of metal. which is the standard
length of tho world. is kept carefully
in an underground vault and is in
spected only ut long intervals. In
Great Britain similar care is exercised
in guarding the standard yard meas
urement. AS it vas possible for these
metal standards to be destroyed or
! damaged in the course of time. it was
decided IL number of years ago to de-
terInine the exact length Of the stand
ards in wav lengths of light. which
would be Il basis of value u~nalterable
and i~ndestructible. For this purpose
the instrument known as the interior
ometcr was invented. This instrument
represented the highest order of work
manship and the greatest skill of the
best opticians of the world. A series
Of rcfracting plates was made. the
surfaces Of which were fat within
Onc-t wcntieth of Il wave length of
light. with sides parallel within m
second. representing the utmost refine
ment of optical surfaces ever attempt
ed.
With the. interferometer perfected
the attempt was made to make the
a length of some definite light an
actual and practical standard of
length. For over a year scientists
worked to secure this result, and ex-
periments finally showed that there
were 1.553.164h wave lengths of red
cadmium light in the French stand
ard meter at Is degrees centigrade.
So great is the accuracy of these ex-
periments that they can be repeated
within one part in two millions. So
inconceivably small is such Il POSSIBLE
ity of error that should the material
standard Of length be damaged or de-
stroyed the standard wave length of
light would remain unaltered, rs a ba-
sis from which an exact duplicate of
the original standard could be made.

Ammonia In Agriculture.

The Journal of German Engineers
predicts that ammonia will be chiefly
used as an artificial fertilizer in the
very near future.
The consumption of %sulphate of am
monia by the German farmers increas-
ed from 2S4,O0O metric tons in 1908 to
$4,000 in 1909. while the use of Chile
saltpeter was about 100000 tons, so
that SO far as the percentage Of nitro
gen is concerned ammonia is already
a trifle ahead Of saltpeter.
Germany consumes more than its
own annual production, 322,7OO tons at
home.
England produces $4,000 tons, while
the United States, in spite of its ex-
tensive use of coke as fuel. produces
only 1900 tons.

for tile stock cattle consists mostly of
fodder and hay. If young cattle are
given plenty Of rough feed they will

tage l have found i'll feeding corn to
young cattle is that young hogs can
be carried through the spring in much
better shape. .
AS a rule. most of our cattle are fed
during the fall and early winter.
Hogs or cattle will fatten on less feed
during moderate temperatures. as it
takes Il certain amount of feed to keep

AS TO the kinds of feed used, corn

the corn and. cutting as much as is
needed. say one, two or three stalks
for each steer for a feed. This amount
can be increased gradually as the cat
tie become accustomed to the new
corn until they are on full feed.
Shock corn is fed once a day and
husked corn once a day. The advan-
tage of feeding husked corn is in saw
ing the fodder OF rough feed, and the
cattle also will eat the husked corn
somewhat better. Those farmers who
have clover hay or alfalfa have IL
great advantage in giving these with
the corn.
The feeding period lasts from 90 to
100 days and sometimes longer, but
this is about the average period of
feeding.

Dairy Wisdom.

1t is not always the COW that
gives the largest amount of
milk that is making the most
money for you. Test her and
be certain.
The care given the heifer
calves during their first year
has much to do with their fu-
ture usefulness. Keep them
sleek and growing and give
enough clover or alfalfa hay to
develop a capacity for handling
food.
Fresh air has IN actual money
value to the dairy farmer.
Without fresh air the COW can
not digest as much food. and
without plenty of food she can
not make so much o as good
milk.
