The, Electric Fan.

Back in the early eighties DR.. 8. 8.
Wheeler, an electrical engineer of New
York. was experimenting with a small
electric motor. In the course of his ex-
periments the doctor conceived the
idea that steamboats, might be run
with electricity if the propellers could
be directly connected to high speed
electric motors, doing away with all
the gears then in use in steam propul.
sion. With this idea in mind he had q
small screw propeller constructed and
fastened it to the armature shaft of
his small motor. To his surprise the
experiment resulted in fine breeze Of
cooling air which more than delighted
the experimental, for the day was de-
cidedly hot 1t is needless to add that
the experiments with screw propellers
ended right there, and the engineer
took up the study Of the electric fan,
with the result that he soon perfected
the device until it was a commercial
success.

BonnycIabber,

New drinks have sometimes a glori-
Gus and brief popularity. Lord STRAIT
ford, writing to Lord Cottington in
1885. extols "bonnyclabber," which he
says lis the bravest. freshest drink
you ever tasted. Your Spanish don
would, on the heats of Madrid, hang
his nose and shake his beard an hour
over every sop he took of it and take
it to be the drink Of the gods all the
WHILE"
No one, however, seems to know
the exact composition of the seductive
''bonnyclabber," although from an al
fusion to it by Ben Jonson it would
seem to have been a mixture of beer
and buttermilk. Chronicle.

How the Quail HELPS the Farmer

Prof. H. M. Benedict says:
The living quail aids growing crops
in two ways, First. by destroying
weed seeds, and second by destroy
ing harmful insects.
1t might be stated parenthetically
here. that anything which Increases
crops lowers the price of that crop
to the consumer. and that any factor
which reduces the crop increases the
price of food as far as farm products
go. If probably makes less differ
ence to the farmers of the whole
country in general whether their
crops are below or above the average
in amount than II does to those who
have to buy their food, as the income
from a larger crop at low prices is
about the same as from a small crop
at higher prices.
To what extent then does the quail
(Bob White is much better name. }
help to increase the crop by destroy
ing the enemies of the -crop-weeds
and insects?
From examination of the digestive
cavities of the birds, it has been dis
covered that during the fall and
winter it's food consists largely Of
weed seeds. Bob White eats the
seeds of so species of weeds. Since
the digestion of birds is very rapid,
the seeds present in the digestive
cavity at the time the bird is killed,
represent only one-third Of the days
total consumption. AS a sample OF
Bob Whites efficiency as a weed des-
