1 NEW instrument for detsrminin &

named the scleroscope. from the Greek
skleros ("hard"). measures hardness
by the rebound OF a hammer with a
fine pointed end. which Is allowed TO
drop on the tested substance from a
little height.
1t has been noted that the difterens

diamond. filing, pressing with a steel

In the case OF asphalt. which may be
fractured by quick blow, but yields
like wax to slow pressure.
What kind of hardness Is II that
the scleroscope measures? A writer
on the subject in the Iron Age defines
1t somewhat vaguely and forbiddingly
as the recuperative energy instan-
taneously available upon permanent
reformation" This definition will

Brownsville has received considerable
publicity of late, but it is not likely to
suffer from competition. The snake
farmer deserves all he gets, and no one
envies him his job. The virus is sold

tific research; the skins of such as die
or are killed are used in making

relic" and the demand so far outran
the supply that horned toad farms be-
came a crying necessity. The first was
started on the Gila river, arizona,
about a year ago and has been so suo-
cessful that ranchers in the arid south
west are reported to be taking up
horned toad farming as a side line to
cattle raising.
Snail and truffle farming are indus
tries peculiarly Characteristic of
France The worlds largest snail
farms are in the neighborhood of Bor-
deaux and Burgundy, where 10000, 900
of the Shiny gastropods are fattened
and killed annually for the delectation
of French epicures. Most of the snails
eaten in America are consumed by
Frenchmen away from home but a
small farm is said to be fiourishing
near Trenton, N. j., and the French res
taurants of San Francisco offer 81 a
pound (shells and all) for home grown
snails, SO that Americans have an op-
portunity of acquiring the habit If they
desire.
Truffies are fungous growth similar
to mushrooms, but growing entirely
underground, usually beneath oak and
chestnut trees. Southeastern France
Burgundy and Champagne are the lead
ing truffle producing districts, yielding
a product worth $4,000 900 annually.
The main problem in truffie farming is
to find the truffies. Dogs have been
trained to hunt them, but never become
so infallible as pigs. which were truf1e
hunters ages before men dreamed that
such things existed. So the truffle
farmer goes forth to the harvest field

ideal location for the experiment. His
success there led him to establish an
other at Los Angeles, and some one else
has a third at Palm Beach. There is a
ready demand for the saurians, OF all
sizes. for aquaria, parks. museums
summer resorts and as advertising now
elites for window displays and for tho
leather for use in making purses, hand
bags. belts and other articles.
Frog farming is another aquicul-
tural industry mainly prosecuted in
France, where 100000 of the ugly
batrachians are reared annually. A
frog farm has been successfully main
tanned in Ontario for upward Of 20
years. and the artificial propagation of
frogs is praoticed to a limited extent in
New Jersey in the Mississippi valley
and in the neighborhood OF San Fran
cisco. Several years ago the state OF
Pennsylvania attempted a scientific In
veStigation OF the possibilities OF frog
culture and the state fish commission
issued a bulletin on the artificial prop
egation Of the nimble tadpols. How
ever. II does not appear that this off,
'cial encoura cement proved OF much
value to the frog farmers OF the Key
stone state or gave them any advan-
tage over their competitors in less pro-
gressive commonwealth.

ment than 1t has hitherto known. The
artificial propagation of fishes, under
the direction of the federal bureau OF
fisheries and the various state fish
commissions. is the most important
subdivision of modern agriculture
Rivers, lakes and ponds. depleted OF
their fishes, are now restocked with
food and game fishes from state and
federal hatcheries; and foreign vari-
eties Of value are imported. bred in
captivity, and taken for liberation to
portions Of the country where 1t Is be-
lieved that they will flourish. Had
not the artificial propagation OF the
lobster been resorted to, that delecta-
BILE crustacean would now be almost
as rare as the buffalo; and oyster
farming alone keeps the supply in
proper relation to the demand. The
artificial rearing OF sponges from the
egg has been demonstrated to be feas-
iole, and will doubtless in time de-
velop a new sea farming industry.
Crayfsh farms have long been operated
In France and Germany. but the natu-
raj supply in America Is yet sufficient.
Turtle farms have been in operation
in Japan over since 1878, three farms
yielding $4,000 marketable turtles an

Most unexpected OF all sea farming
industries, perhaps, is seaweed farm
ing. In Japan several thousand acres
of seaweed are planted and harvested
annually, mainly in the bay Of Tokyo
and near Hiroshima. in the Inland sea.
Planting consists in sinking the ends
of bundles Of brush or bamboo into tho
mud bottom Of the bay. To these the
spores of the red laver adhere and rap
idly develop into plants. These are
harvested. dried and made into a food
product known as amanOrt- Seaweed
farming in America is confined to har-
vesting Irish moss, curing 1t and pre-
pairing it for market. The industry
flourishes at Cohasset. Mass, and near
by points. where it has been prosecuted
ever since 1885. the annual value OF the
crop huctuating between $4,000 and
$4,000. 1t is used in the prepara tion
of blanc mango. for making jelHes and
puddings, in the compOunding OF cough
syrups and for clarifying beer and sig
ing fabrics.
Not the least interesting branch OF
agriculture is alligator farming. which
is pronounced success at Palm Beach,
Fla: Hot Springs. Ark. and Los An
geles Cal 1t was estimated by the
United States fish commission that In
the decade from 1890 to 1900 not less
than 100000 alligatOrs Of large size
were killed in Florida and that still
larger number were slaughtered IN

portant. The animals are reared for
their pelts on number of small
Islands of the Aleutian chain, the
largest colony being on the island of
st. George, where about 1000 foxes are
kept at all times and 400 or more
killed each season. Another large fox
farm is maintained on an island off the
coast of Labrador by the Revillon
brothers of Paris; and a red fox farm
has been conducted with success at
Dover, Ne, for a number OF years.
Every large city has one or more
"catteries," where Angoras, Persians
and other high born felines are reared
for sale as choristers or household
pets; but cat farming as a branch of
the great fur production industry is a
Dutch monopoly. In Holland the rear
ing of black cats for their pelts Is an
extensive business. The pelts are dyed
and chemically treated and made into

1ourishes in the rearing of large black
dogs, either alone or In connection with
sheep. In that cold climate these dogs
grow a particularly dense, silken coat

of rugs, robes and even women's coats.
Not long ago one Of the illustrated
weeklies stated that w F. Kendrick
Of Denver proposed to rear elephants
and other wild animals on a I6 acre
farm in Colorado. AS a matter of fact.
the farm covers an area of 1900 acres,
and Kendrick disclaims any intention
of starting an elephant herd, although
he does confess to the entertainment

based upon the domestication OF insects
Most familiar OF these are bee farms,
one Of which, in California, yields from
so to 100 tons of honey annually. A
specialized form of bee farming is the
rearing of queen bees for sale to honey
and wax producers for the improve
ment of their hives This odd industry
had fits origin in the United States,
and is most highly developed in Ohio
and Pennsylvania, where there are
queen bee breeders who ship their
stock to every civilized country on the
globe. Sericulture (the rearing of
silkworms for the production of CO.
coons) ranks as one of the worlds
great primary industries. but all at
tempts to place it on a paying basis
in the United States have failed, on ac-
count of the high cost of labor. Cochi-
neal farming (the rearing of the tiny
cochineaI insect for use as a dyestuh)
was a great industry throughout
tropical America until cochineaI dyes
were supplanted by cheaper coal
tar products. The rearing. of the
fig wasp, to be placed in commercial
fig orchards in order to accomplish fer
tilization of the fig blossoms, is an in
dustry as old as civilization in the
orient; but in America it dates only
from the year 1900, when the insect
was successfully naturalized in the San
Joaquin valley of California Butterfly
breeding can hardly be classed as an
industry; but rare species are bred and
sold by the Denton brothers of Massa-
chusetts
The worlds farmers are not content
to remain agriculturists. Aspiring for
new worlds to~conquer, they are aqui-
culturists as well. Sea farming, of
ogrse, is no new thing, but it seems
estined to vastly greater develop
