Sir William Ramsay, one of Eng
lands famous scientists, says there is
absolutely nothing, so far as he can
see, to prevent bore-hole from being
put down until the coal stratum is
reached and the setting Of the coal
on fire by electricity, thus converting
the coal in the bowels of the earth
directly into gas. Air would be sent
down to enable the coal to burn, the
amount Of air being restricted wheE
sufficient heat had been engendered;
steam would be sent down to provide
a mixture Of hydrogen and carbonic
oxide, or water-gas; great gas en-.
gines would be mounted at the mouth
Of the pit or bore-hole, and the gas
would be used to develop electric
power.-Popular Mechanics.

COSTLY LESSON
In HAY BALING
Farmer Who Had Fifty Acres An
Grass Cut It Too Soon-
Better to Feed to
Animals.
{By r. A. oLMsTEAD.)


One of my neighbors learned les.
son in hay baling this year. He had
never been hay farmer until last
year when he put in a crop of timothy
red top mixed He cut pretty fair
crop in July but he was SO eager tc
get at the new work that he cut It
a little too soon. He has about SO
acres in grass and concluded to bale
the crop and sell it. I suggested that
he ought to stack it and let it stand
at least six weeks for cutting before
baling it, but the hay looked pretty
dry and he concluded to haul it direct
from the cocks to the baler. It looked
very nice as it came out of the baler
and our neighbor stacked It all up
three tiers deep.
OF course the bulk Of the hay spoiled
and it will be a total loss. ! never
think Of baling timothy hay on my
place until it has gone through
sweat and is practically cured, there
fore, I stopped selling baled hay sev-
eral years ago because discovered
that it paid much better to feed the
hay to make beef and obtain manure
to put back on the land to raise more
hay. This season cut an average
Of three tons of timothy on 40 acres
and 1t was as fine hay as ever saw.
Some OF the neighbors who are hay
sellers got only on an average Of two
tons and they do not seem to under
stand where the trouble IS. Origin

BOYS ON A STOCK EXCHANGE
Amsterdam Youths Privilege for Dis.
covery of GunpoWder Plot-En-
Ioyed Nearly 800 Years.

OF the many quaint and curious
customs. traditions and privileges pre-
vailing in Holland none is more ex-
traordinary than a certain privilege
that has been enjoyed by the boys OF
Amsterdam for nearly 300 years, the
Boston Evening Transcript remarks.
At fixed time each summer these
boys gather by the hundreds in the
great square called the Dam, situated
in the center of the city. Each boy
has drum slung over his shoulder.
Facing this square is the stock ex-
change, and on the occasion in ques-
ton Just as soon as the days business
is over as many Of the boys as posi-
BILE crowd into the building. They
proceed to the floor of the exchange,
where. pursuant to this old custom,
they are permitted to march about,
singing and beating their drums.
The origin of this custom, it is said,
is as follows:
One afternoon of the year 1922 a
crowd of boys playing in the Dam lost
ball in the canal that in those days
skirted one side of the square. One
Of the lads, while climbing in among
the piles on which the building stood,
found instead of his ball boat moor
ed in dark corner and loaded with
boxes of gunpowder. This showed
clearly enough what was afterward
ascertained with certainty, the inten-
ton Of the Spanish conspirators to
blow up the stock exchange while it
was crowded. as it was every day,
with the leading citizens Of the city.
The boy who stumbled upon the
gunpoWder at once hurried to the
town authorities with his news. The
boatload of explosives was quietly
sunk in the canal and the Spanish
plot thus frustrated
When the burgesses asked the boy
what reward he desired for the serv-
ice he had rendered the town he re-
piled that SO long as there was a
stock exchange in Amsterdam the boys
of the town would like to be permit
ted to make the floor of the exchange
their playground during a certain
part of the year. The request was
granted; and SO the custom survives.

Prize Winning Seed Ears.

kernels to the hill and thin to leave
the two best stalks standing in the
hill. Give the plots the best cultiva
ton you can.
In the breeding plot should be
planted the selected ears. Each cal
should be planted in one row by it
self. (This is called the ear-to-row
system.) The rows should be giveL
the number borne by the ear planted
in it. Careful observation should be
made throughout the season. Each
row should be harvested separately,
its yield determined and the ears from
it kept separate from the ears from
all other rows.
The seed from the best rows, those
showing greatest earliness and high
est yield of good quality corn and sto-
yer, should be used to plant the propa-
cation plot the third year. Reject all
nubbins and poor ears.
In the propagation plot of this year
plant the good ears from the previous
year selection which were not used
in the breeding plot. It is desirable
though not absolutely necessary in
the propagation plot to detassel every
alternate. Detasseling is done by pull
ing out and throwing away the tassel
(spindle) as soon as it appears. The
ears from the detasseled rows are to
be regarded as the best seed, and
those from the rows where the tassels
were not removed as second best. The
two classes should be harvested and
cured separately. Seed from the de-
tasseled rows will probably be found
to yield better than that from the 9th
ers.
Just as in the previous year the best
individual plants from both the breed.
ing and propagation plots should be
marked with clothes and saved sepa-
rately to furnish seed for the follow
ing years ear-to-row breeding plot.
Third and Succeeding Years Work.

individual ears selected the previous
year in the breeding plot. In the pro
pagation plot plant seed from the

the propagation plot detassel every
alternate row. The seed from the de-
tasseled row will be the best seed

BRIDGES or The INDIANS
Structures Found IN North British Co
Iumbia Are Built on che cantl-
lever Principle.


Some interesting examples OF In
dian ingenuity are afforded on the
River Skeena and its tributaries ii
North British Columbia, according to
a writer In Scientific. American. These
waterways IN their upper reaches dow
swiftly and for the most part through
deep rayines. AS it is impossible for
the Indians to cross them by means
of canoes they have resorted to bridg
ing.
Their bridges are interesting struc
lures from the engineering point Of
view. inasmuch as the cantilever prin.
ciple is adopted. A bridge Of this de-
sign spans the Buckley river where
it is about 120 feet wide, and the
height from the bridge to- the water
level is about 80 feet.
It is built of wooden logs, the logs
Of the structure being formed of single
stout logs varying from 60 to 80 feet in
length. The task of lowering them
into position must have demanded con-
siderable ingenuity on the part OF the
builders.
They are buried some Is feet at
their lower ends and anchored by the
superimposition of masses of large
rock rolled and carried to the site. The
longitudinal members Of the shore
spans are similarly buried in the
ground and dashed to the ends of the
diagonal logs.
These main members-correspond.
ing to deck Orders. are about 100 feet
In length, and to either end the A
members of the superstructure are
dashed. Elaborate cross bracing is
resorted to in order to secure greater
strength.
When the bridge was first erected
the different members were simply
secured together by willow thongs,
but when the British Columbian gov
ernment erected more substantial
suspension bridge lower down the
river the Indians assembled and fol.
lowed the white mans operations with
great interest. They observed how
the thick wire cables were slung and
anchored, and accordingly decided to
introduce wire into their own struc.
ture.
They procured the material for this
purpose from wherever they could and
introduced it in a most fantastic man.
