FIND A USE FOR SWEEPINGS
Street Refuse Makes Good Fertilizer
IL IL Is Quite Free From
az Oil,

The United States department o:
agriculture has been conducting elab-
crate experiments to ascertain the
value of street sweepings as a ferti-
hzer. ]. ]. Skinner and ]. H. Beattie
OF the bureau of soils tried samples
collected in various ways upon wheat,
corn and radishes and found that
hand sweepings were best, but not
nearly so good as well-rotted stable
manure; that machine sweepings
were about one-third as good as hand
and that decomposed sweepings were
almost useless. ..... 49,.
The reason for this was that the
sweepings contained much lubricating
oil. The experimenters made tests
Of sweepings from which the oil had
been extracted and found that both
hand and machine sweepings pro-
duced as good results as stable ma
nure, while the decomposed sweep
ings were not far behind.
The department issues a bulletin
warning farmers and gardeners that
sweepings from which the oil has not
been extracted will eventually impair
the productiveness of soil, unless
through drainage the oily material is
drained of or changed.

The Whales Soma.

Whales are rarely thought Of as vo-
calists, yet according to Miss A. ID.
Cameron In THE New North" they
really have a distinctive song Of their
own.
A certain Captain Kelly was the
nrst to notice that whales sing. One
Sunday, while officers from three whal-
ing ships were canning" over their
afternoon walrus meat, Kelly started
up with II hear a bowhead!" There
was much chatting about 'Kelly's
band" but Kelly weighed anchor. and
went to find the band-wagon. Every
sail followed his, with the result that
three whales were bagged.
Among bowheads, this singsong Is a
call that the leader of the school, as
be forces a passage through Boring
sea, makes in order to notify those
that follow that the straits are clear
Of ice.
Walruses and seals and all true man.
tpals that have lungs and live In the
water have a bark that sounds strange
enough as 1t comes up from hidden
depths. Every lookout from the mast
head notices that, when one whale Is
struck, the whole school is CALLED"
or stampeded at the very impact OF
the harpoon; they have heard the
death song.
The sound that the bowhead makes
Is like the long-drawn-out "hoo-hoo-oo-
DOL" of the hoot-owl. A whaler says
that the cry begins on F, and may
rise to A, B, or even C before slipping
back to F again. He assures us rnat
with the humpback the tone is much
finer, and sounds across the water like
the note from the E string of vio-
Ain.

Ingenious Device Employed for Ba.
bies' Cribs in Presbyterian Hos
pital In New York.

In the Presbyterian hospital, New
York, there is an interesting instance
of the application of electricity in the
nursery for the benefit of the incu-
BAR babies. Here, says the Edison
Monthly the problem is to provide
plenty Of fresh air and at the same
time sufficient warmth for the babies,
and this has been solved by simple
but effective form of crib warmer.
The sides of the bassinet in which
the baby lies are covered with ashes
tos boards and beneath is an electric
heater or foot warmer, with cable
couplings and switch which allows the
current to be regulated. In warm
air chamber between the bassinet and
the foot-warmer is a partition, SO con-
structed with reference to the baby's
position in the crib that the heat is
reflected to the lower end of the bas-
sinet The child's feet are thus kept
warm, while a lower temperature is
maintained at the head.

Bitterness In an EpItaph.

Mason and Dixon's line Is fast be-
coming memory, but here and there
are to be found evidences Of the once
bitter hatred which prevailed In the
days of the Civil war.
George w. Kerdolff, who before en-.
tering the insurance business spent
much time in the south, tells this
story OF an epitaph rudely carved on a
block Of sandstone yet to be seen In
Louisiana parish: I
When the slogan of the south was
ION to Washington" and the youth of
the Confederacy had shouldered their
muskets for the front, leaving only
the older folks and women and chill
dren at home, a band of Union sol
diers came into Louisiana. Sighting
the enemy, the aged men, assisted by
the women, gathered together their
scant supply of firearms and planned
resistance. AS the Federal forces
came up a narrow lane, the southern
ers opened fire with such deadly effect
that the invaders retreated, leaving
one OF their number dead upon the
field Of battle.
The victors buried the fallen foe,
and over his grave, to this day, one
may read the roughly chiseled cpl
taph: THE Yankee bands with bloody
hands came southwark to divide our
lands. This lonely and deserted spot

THAT ABODE or THE PAST
John Galsworthy's Charming Picture
of an Old Dlsused Southern
Landmark.

Eyes, suh-here we are at that old
time placed" And our dark driver
drew up his little victoria gently.
writes John Galsworthy in Scribner's.
Through the open doorway, into a
dim cavern of ruined house, We passed.
The mildew and dirt, the dark, de-
nuded darkness of that old hostel,
rotting down with damp and time!
And our guide, the tall, thin, gray
haired dame, who came forward with
such native ease, and moved before
us, touching this fungused wall, that
rusting stairway and telling, as 1t
were, no one, In her soft, slow
speech, things that any one could see
what a strange and fitting figure.
Before the smell Of the deserted,
oozing rooms, before that old creature
leading us on and on, negligent of all
our questions and talking to the air,
as though We were not, we felt such
out again into such freshness as there
was on that day of dismal heat. Then
realizing, it seemed, that she was los
ing us, our guide turned; for the first
time looking in our faces, she smiled,
and said in her sweet, weak voice,
like the sound from the strings of a
spinnet long unplayed on: Don you
wahnd to see the dome room, an all
the other rooms right here, of this
old place?"
Again those words! We had not
the hearts to disappoint her. And as
we followed on and on, along the
moldering corridors and rooms where
the black peeling papers hung like
stalactites, the dominance of our
senses gradually dropped from us, and
with our souls we saw its soul-the
soul of this old time place; this mus
tering house Of the old south, bereft
of all but ghosts, and the gray pigeons
niched in the rotting gallery round a
narrow courtyard open to the sky.
This Is the dome room, sub and
lady; right over the slave market it
is. Here they did the business of the
state-sure; see their face up there
in the roof-Washington, Hamilton,
Jefferson, Davis, Lee-there they are!

WE WIN BY FOREIGN BLOOD

When Portugal Was Great.

The announcement that Portugal is
to be linked up by wireless" with "all
the Portuguese colonies" is a remind
er Of the vanished greatness of what
was once the leading colonizing en-
pire in the world. From Lisbon in
the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries
went out marines through the un-
known and uncharted oceans to AT
RIGA, India and the New World to the
west. and planted the flag of Portugal
In every corner of the globe. But in
Africa alone has Portugal maintained
its hold of colonies of any magnitude.
In India are little bits of Portuguese
territory. Nova Goa, southeast of
Bombay, being the capital of all
Portuguese colonies east OF Cape OF
Good Hope; while as far east as China
the island of Macao, in the Canton
river, first colonized nearly 400 years
ago, still owns the sovereignty OF
the government at Lisbon.

OBJECT TO THE CHICKENS
Residents of Summer Place Allege
That Their Early Morning Rest
Is Disturbed.

The dwellers In the residential sec
become much excited over discussions
of the question. Is 1t proper and right
to maintain poultry farm on a vii
lage plot? Since the days have length
ened and the sun rises early and the
windows are kept open wide all
night, 1t is maintained by those on
the negative side of the discussion,
restful sleep is out of the question
after 4 o'clock in the morning. A .peti-
ton setting forth all the arguments
from the moral, economic and social
points of view against chicken raising
inside of village limits has been cir
culated, and has the names of all who
do not own chickens. One of the sign
ers said the whole trouble was
brought on the community by the i'm
portation of bantam rooster. What
this fellow lacks in size he makes up
in volume and shrillness of voice and
in the zeal with which he INDUCES his
talent for growing in the early hours
of the day. He is keyed too high,
and his owner should feed him chalk
every night. The petition describes
in detail the annoyance of being
reused out of sound sleep by a
loud cock-adoodle-doo and the horror
Of lying awake to listen for the next
summons from the other ROSTERS.
One particularly loud-voiced Leghorn
was found dead beside his coop few
days ago. 1t is said on of the neigh
bors, at the risk Of being shot, brpke

few days for the owner to get an
other lusty-lunged bird. and now there
is some feeling!
