Fox and Hounds.

The boys and girls in the school at
Monticello, N. Y, might have thought
that they were having an object les
son in the game of fox and hounds
when a wild fox ran into the school
room with two dogs In close pursuit.
1t was not really an object lesson.
No teacher would make so much
excitement over the teaching Of any
one subject. The excitement was
great enough at first, but as the fox
and the dogs circled the room the lit
tie girls climbed up on the desks and
screamed and the little boys helped
the dogs chase the fox. The hunted
beast finally found refuge under the
teachers desk, where he snarled at the
dogs and the children and kept them
at bay. He would not let any one
touch him, but at last one of the boys
succeeded in putting a moose over his
head. The boys tried to get him out
alive, but he struggled so hard that
he choked to death.

MISS GLORIA GOULD.

MISS GLORIA GOULD.
Don't you think that a little girl Of
six is rather young to be interviewed
by a newspaper reporter and to have
her picture snapped by the camera
man? Well, this experience happened
recently to little Miss Gloria Gould
when she was an interested spectator
at a society circus given at Georgian
Court, the magnificent home Of her
parents, MI. and Mrs. George ]. Gould,
at Lakewood, N. ].
Miss Gloria was not at all scared at
having the camera pointed at her; but,
like many grownup people, she object
ed, just at first, to be photographed for
publication. The picture shows what
q charming little girl she is in her play
clothes.
This little lady, who some day will
have a splendid big coming out party
like those Of her older sisters, was
very much broken up the day this pic
ture was taken Eel the sudden death
OF her pet dog, Buster Brown, which
was her constant companion and the
family pet. Miss Gloria and the fortu-
nate Buster used to have many a fine
romp on the lawns at Georgian Court,
and the small heiress felt very much
aggrieved that her comrade had quit
her companionship for that of the 9th
er doggies in dog heaven.

Chinese Method Of Painting.

Nearly all the painting in the foreign
settlements in China and in all the
Chinese cities is done by native work
men with Chinese paint. The use of
Chinese material and labor is because
of cheapness, although a piece Of work
never has a finished appearance. Most
Of the work is done by the painter TAX
ing a bunch Of cotton waste, which he
saturates by dipping in the paint pot
and then rubbing it v e the surface
to be painted. Even If foreign brushes
are furnished the Chinese painter will
not use them. He says he paint
by his method and gets it more evenly
distributed over the surface. On ex-
terror surfaces the Chinese paint Is not
durable, but the cost is so small that
the job al be done two or three times
for what one painting would cost in
America.-Consular Report.

H AND SHOCK ABSORBEs.
This pipe, of about one and u half
inches diameter, connects to a tank
having a capacity Of 1000 cubic inch
es. -Four such bulbs replace the
springs of an automobile. In fitting
them to a car the leaves of the springs
are removed with the exception Of the
outer heavy leaf. which is used for
steadying purposes. All four tubes
are connected by separate pipes to the
tank.
The action Of the bulb is as follows:
When a wheel Of the car passes over
an obstruction the bottom Of the bulb
resting upon the one shaped block is
pushed inward, and the surface OF
contact Of the bulb with the block is
increased. The heavier the blow the
more the block sinks in; consequently
there is a continuously increasing sup
porting area within the bulb upon
which the air acts, the air being III
der a compression Of about twenty
pounds to the square inch in the bulb,
the pipe line and the tank. AS a re
suit Of the increasing aattened area in
the bottom of the bulb under a heavy
shock there is a cushioning effect that
increases with the blow. and when the
initial shock has been absorbed there
is no rebound, since the air in the
bulb, piping and tank has not been ap
probably compressed.

NOVEL SHOCK ABSORBER.
Pneumatic Cushion Substitute For
Automobile Spring.

Pneumatic Cushion Substitute For
Automobile Spring.
There has recently been invented by
a California mining engineer a novel
substitute for springs and shock alb
sorbers on automobiles. This Is a
pneumatic cushion which appears to
have advantages because it permits
the ) Of solid tires.
The inventor of this new device has
found it possible not only to construct
a pneumatic shock absorber, but SO to
arrange this that it takes the place OF
the spring itself, while at the same
time preventing any rebound. In it's
present state this pneumatic cushion
consists simply of a round rubber bulb
six or eight inches in diameter, hav-
ing an open neck at its upper end and
a small projection at it's lower. This
projection fits into q hole in a conical
wood block that is secured to the axle
Of the automobile, while the neck OF
the bulb is set into a pipe fitting at
tached to the body of the machine

FUEL SAVING DEVICE.
Perfect Combustion Attained by Aus.
traIian Smoke Consumer.

Perfect Combustion Attained by Aus.
traIian Smoke Consumer.
A practical demonstration has been
made in this city of an apparatus for
the consumption Of smoke and the
economizing Of fuel, reports Consul
General Bray Of Sydney, New South
Wales.
The appliance consists Of a patent
firebox door cast in the form of a
deep box. with a sliding grid in front
by which the admission Of air is reg
ulated. The deep furnace becomes a
hot air chamber in which the air is
rarefied. after which it passes through
a series of breakers, formed in the
shape Of T irons, placed so as to give
a proper distribution of air over the
furnace fire from the front. The back
air box is placed at the end of the fire
bar area and is built in SO as to admit
of the air being distributed over the
fire from the back, and by this method
of admitting and regulating the air a
perfect combustion a be obtained,
thereby bringing about a great saving
Of fuel. AS a result the gases are con
sumed and the smoke discharged from
the smokestack is reduced to an abso.
lutte minimum.
The demonstration showed that the
smoke from the furnace, which was
charged with a full load of slack coal
was cut off within half a minute after
closing the doors. According to a re
cent test, the saving in coal amounted
to a little over 25 per cent, while the
water evaporated per pound Of Goa
was increased by over 40 per cent.

Ships Eyes.

In the olden days, when the science
Of navigation was not as we'll under
stood as now, it was the custom to
carve in the bows Of ships a pair OF
large eyes, with the notion that they
would watch the dangers of the deep
and avoid c~atastrophes. Faith in such
an idea has long been dead, but the
eyes are still to be seen on ships.
Through them pass the anchor chains
when the ship Is safe in port, and thus.
though useless in the days Of the old
fancy, they all a good purpose now.

DESTROY WEEDS
Sheep Are Very Valuable for That Pur
pose Upon the Farm or
Ranch.

Ranch.
The statement has been made that
sheep will eat anything but a mullen
plant and thistle. That remark con.
veys a wealth of meaning, and is liter.
ally true. Sheep are the best scavan.
gers that we a have upon a farm or
ranch when it comes to cleaning the
place of weeds. Sheep have been
known to eat thistles. The writer has
noticed the lambs and older sheep as
we'll pick the thistle out of the good
hay and eat them with apparent relish.
How to rid the place of obnoxious
weeds is an ever increasing problem,
especially in the irrigated districts.
However, if diversified farming is prac.
ticed the weed question will be much
easier settled. The Master has estab.
lished a sort of equilibrium for all ma.
ture and just as oon as man destroys
this equilibrium just that 500 must
more stringent means be employed for
controlling u operations. The farm.
er or ranchman who raises but one
crop or one kind of live stock is sure
to get into all kinds of trouble. Weeds
and insects will destroy his crop, and
disease is apt to overtake his live
stock. Besides when a farmer pro.
duces only one kind of grain and only
n type of live stock, the market is
very apt to influence his prosperity:
whereas if he produces all kinds OF
live stock and different kinds of grain
he is sure of better prices, for the mar
kets are seldom alike on all classes
of stock and upon all types of grain.
Therefore the weed problem resolves
itself into something like this: The
very best kind of farming for a farmer
to follow is the kind that will destroy
the most weeds and bring in the larg
est returns, as we'll as maintain the
fertility of the soil. That means
good rotation and different classes Of
live stock to which the feed or grains
are fed. This last includes sheep
They will destroy more weeds ant
bring in more money than any othel
type of animals.
1t must not be concluded from this
however, that the way to kill weed
is to simply buy sheep and turn then
in the fields. In that event nine time'
out of ten the large weeds will not b.
touched. Sheep do not like ranl
growing weeds. Sheep, that they de
stroy weeds, must be handled will
skill. 1t will be remembered by sheep
men that the young shoots of weeds il
many cases are preferred to grass
Therefore to insure the best work tn
weeds should be moved and then tn
sheep will destroy a large number O
the young growing shoots. The root
must be entirely destroyed before tn
plants will die, and If the sheep ar
kept upon the weeds long enough tn
roots cannot live.-H. F. Patterson
