A Wooden Balloon.

Many things have happened sire. the time of the Montgolfiers, and per haps the most remarkable of all is the invention of a German engineer, Herr Rettig. Instead of having for the en- velope of his balloon silk or goldbeat- CTS skin he has adopted wood The new aerostat is 130 meters long. with diameter of 15 meters. It has also two motors. The wood used in the con- struction of the envelope is Canadian pine. Herr Rettig claims that he will effect a saving of gas to an enormous extent, that his envelope will not be affected by the suns rays, since wood is a bad conductor of the heat He says that his envelope will hold the gas for weeks and that he will reach cen siderable attitudes Her Rettig de- clares that he has solved the problem of long distance; for instance, he will he able to cross the Atlantic.

Made Them ALI Dance.

No little excitement was caused in
 busy thoroughfare in Liverpool re- gently owing to the strange behaviour of pedestrians. Nearly every person who passed over certain portion of the pavement was observed to execute quite involuntarily a sort of modified hornpipe. A crowd gathered, and presently policemen appeared on the scene. But even officers of the law who passed the over spot had to be- have like other people. They jumped away from the danger zone as though they were treading on hot bricks. The explanation of the affair Is that there was a slight leakage in the electric main which runs under the pavement, and foot passengers stepping on a grating immediately above the leak age experienced a sharp electric shock.

USELESS STONES FOR WALKS
Saves Lots of Muddy Walking and Rids Farm of Many Unsightly
 RockS-Easy to Build.
cRy JOHN ". ANpREws.l

CBy JOHN w. ANDREWSO
 We made a walk recently entirely o'it of rough stones. These rocks were gathered out of the field where they were in the way, and thus two pur. poses were served by their utiliza. ton
 The method of building was as simple as the material used. A trencn was dug along each side of the walk and stones put into it so that they projected about an inch above the surface of the ground
 The earth was packed back around them to keep them firm. Then the space between was covered with smaller stones, the middle of the walk being made higher, a very little. than the edges.
 These stones were beaten down with a sledge so that one could walk over them without too much injury to shoe leather, and the whole then covered with sawdust and cinders.
 This fills up the crevices. holds the rocks steady until they settle into place and makes the walk smooth and even.
 There Is almost always a need fol this is a very pressing need. A few hours work may save a wonderful amount of mud wading.
 Material for walks Is not hard to find Beside the standard brick and concrete there are shells. rough stones of all kinds, gravel from creek beds cinders, sawdust and tanbark.
 All these make good walks. al though the latter ones require fire quent renewing.
 Neither is construction a hard job. The main essentials are good side lines that will not be torn loose O. heaved out and that are straight and smooth, and some provision for drain ge.
 The center of walk should bs made higher in practically all cases; and where water is likely to stand oL one side means should be provided tc carry it of
 In the matter of design, curves are recommended by the landscape gar deners; but these curves should never be abrupt and never without an ap- parent reason.
 In a barnyard and other places where a walk could not be very we'll kept up. stepping stones, well placed will answer the purpose. and not only save lots of muddy walking but also help to get rid of any useless rocks you may have scattered about in the way.

INCUBATOR BEATS THE HEN
One Old 6iddy Causes as Much Trou' bIe as 22o-Eeg Macnine-Wanted
 Her Own Way.

do not make a practise of hatch ing with hens, but once in a while l set one just to humor her. says a writer in the Poultry Monthly. The last experience I had with hen that wanted to set in the breeding pen. Not wanting her there I removed her to another place and I penned her up, but she got out and gave her chase for about an hour Finally I got her fixed again, and after setting two days found her running about the yards with broken egg shells sticking to her feathers, feet and legs. I examined the nest and found three eggs broken. washed the remaining ones and re- newed the nesting material and got her back to business. At the same time I was running a 220-egg incu- bator, and it was not as much trouble as this old hen. Ana when the hatch came off the old hen had six chicks and the incubator I'll. That's the di;- ference. My experience with hens as hatchers has not always been like this, however Neither has it been like this with incubators at all times. But good incubator will beat the hen, even if the hen is a good one. Yet it frequently happens that it is more convenient to use hens for hatch ing and breeding than to use artificial means. But as a rule give me hens for eggs and incubators for matching them.

With Quivering fingers he turned the pages of the Chopin Mazourka, while she played dreamily the entrancing music. Did you notice how my hand trem- 5led, Mis- Pinkerton?" he asked, when It was all over.
 Yes, MT. Sparkes," she admitted, 5hyly, 'T did" And can you gues why 1t trem- oled?" he breathed into her ear
 The white fingers of the sweet Miss Pinkerton strolled lightly over the keys, and then fell limp in her lap as strawberry-hued suffusion dyed her :ountenance.
 "N-no," she whispered
 Shall tell you?" he asked.
 Yes" she answered, faintly, If you like"
 There was big pause. The youth swallowed audibly. Then his voice. hoarse with an emotion that did him credit, thrilled through the silence

Care in PardIinc Wax.

There is probably no product of the apiary that shows a greater percent tege of loss than in the wax that is lost by imperfect methods of extract ing it from the comb. Wax brings a good price at all times, requires no particular care to keep if desired to hold for any season, can be shipped at any time and in any manner with out danger of injury in transit, so hat every ounce that can be saved means just so much saved to show on the right side of the account for the year.
