NOVEL INCANDESCENT HATS

An active demand for "incandescent
hats" the first of which was displayed
in Chicago during a convention Of
dressmakers, has caused one concern
to get out number of designs, all
operated from small dry batteries in
the crown Of the hat. One new design
contains tiny orange bulbs, about the
size and shape of a small tangerine,
which are connected up with green
wires looped with orange and other
blossoms in decorative fashion. The
hat is considerably heavier than the
ordinary lid because of the wiring
and the battery. The lights are turn
ed on by means of push button that
takes the form OF an imitation hat
pin at one side. New designs will
initiate rosebuds and all sorts of fow-
ers IN which a bulb formation can
figure.

QUALITIES OF FUSED SILICA
Latest Material 10 Be Used for Ary
Original Standard Of Length

Fused silica is the latest material to
be used for an original standard of

tinue accurate and invariable for a
long period under all conditions of the
air, and the metals tried-copper al

Fused silica claims rare combination,
of good qualities. 1t is light in weight.
cheap, and has small expansion; and
its disadvantage as easy break
age, lack Of elasticity, and slight
solubility in water-are not important.
The first meter of the kind, as describ-
ed to the London Royal society, is a
tube of silica with horizontal slabs Of
the same material fused into the ends.
The slabs are accurately ground, with
plane and parallel sides. The under
sides are coated with platinum, and
the lines of the standard are ruled
through this film with diamond. The
annealing Of the meter-by slowly
heating to $50 degrees, maintaining at
this temperature for eight days, and
slowly cooling IA days-cause a
shrinkage of about one 50,000th Of an
inch.

ANCIENT CHURCH IN DESERT

New Mexico, which has recently be-
come one OF the sister states in the
Union, can boast structures that sur
pass in age any other in the United
States with the exception Of a few
in St. Augustine, Fla. Santa Fee, N.
NJ, was the second settlement in the
United States. Jealous Spanish priests
first pushed their way into this part
of the world which was then unknown
to Europeans. Their object was to
convert the Indians. The first struo-
lures they built were churches and
many Of these stand today as monu-
ments Of the early priests who set
them up among the Indians and there
preached the gospel. One of the most
interesting of these early churches Is
located on the edge of Burrow Flat
in the Sacramento National forest in
New Mexico. This is a solitary re-
gion, but sparsely inhabited. Here
and there is to be seen the adobe
house of a Mexican and the little less
primitive rock cuts Of the Pueblo In.

religious and have been saying mass.

"CANADIUM" is A NEW METAL
Discovered by MetaIIurgicaI Chemist
While Investigating Gold Mine
in British Columbia.

"Canadium" is the name given
new metal discovered by A. G. French,
metallurgical chemist of Nelson, B. c.,
when investigating a large gold mine
in that province. While examining a
deposit of platinum metals, he dis
covered, sometimes isolated and some
times in combination, another metal
which was quite different from other
members of the group. 1t has since
been found in many other igneous
bikes in the vicinity of Nelson.
Canadium is a beautiful white metal
but little softer than gold or silver
and melting at Il somewhat lower tenn
perature 1t is not tarnished by damp
atmosphere nor blackened or affected
by sulphureted hydrogen, alkaline sui
phides or tiucture of iodine, which
blacken both silver and palladium.
When FURNISHED, Il is much more
brilliant than either silver or pal
ladium.

MOURNING IN PALESTINE

When a woman dies in Palestine
her death is not publicly lamented..
in strict accordance with time-honoredI
Oriental rules, nor is the community
particularly affected by any sense of
bereavement But when a prominent
man Of any village dies, the whole
clan makes much ado to express the
loss sustained by the countryside.
Days OF lamentation extend from one
to six weeks. according to the popu-
larity of the dead man. On each day
one or more sheep are slaughtered in
atonement for his soul, and a feast
is spread out before the assembled
mourners.

THINGS We OUGHT TO SAVE
Wastefuness and Indifference of
Americans Cause Them to Miss
Many Opportunities.

Each year we fill the Merrimac
river with wool grease, making it
stencil. while the towns along it's
course buy soap and fertilizer and lu-
bricants from Chicago, Chilli and Penn
sylvania. We burn coal tar in Mass
achusetts and import coal-tar colors
at high prices from Germany.
Over the great northwest we burn
each year 100000 tons of fax straw,
while We pay $40 ton for imported
paper stock from Norway. In the
south 100000 tons Of paper fiber of
the highest grade are burned with
the cottonseed hulls to which it is at
tached or used with them to adul.
terate cattle feed.
Cornstalks to an incaIculable ton
mage rot or are burned each year.
while chemistry stands ready to con.
vert them into feed containing 80 De,
cent. of sugars on the dry basis, or
into alcohol for light and power,
Waste molasses Is sold for three cents
a gallon or dumped into the stream,
while alcohol sells for 40 cents a gal
lon. Skim milk is fed to hogs or
thrown away, because no one has the
enterprise to extract its casein, which
is worth more than beefsteak for food.
In the face of such conditions we
still meet young men who would In.
form us that the day of opportunity
is past. The truth is that opportunity
is knocking not once but insistently
and long at every entrance to the
chemists laboratory.

Twin Lambs,

BY selection the percentage of
twins produced In flock can no
doubt be largely controlled. Some
rams produce much larger percent
age of twins than others. The above
saying is naturally an English one, as
the English mutton sheep are gener-
ally better mixers than the fine
wool sheep and they are larger, too,
and can better produce twins. That
they have been bred with this in view
more than the fine-wool sheep is
shown by the larger percentage of
twins they produce.
Without a doubt one large lamb is
better than two runty ones. If ewes
have twin capacity, breed them to pro-
duce twins. If not be happy with a
100 per cent. increase, made possible
by shifting starving twin to eve
that has lost her lamb.

SUMMER FEED FOR THE PIGS
Both Growing and Mature Animals
Can Use Considerable Amount of
Roughage and Forage.
(BY W. NJ. KELLY

(By w. NJ. kELl44.D
On account of having comparative
ly small stomach the pig is an animal
especially adapted to the consuming
of concentrated feeds. The growing
pig and the mature breeding animal
can use considerable rough feed and
forage to ADVANTAGE.
For best results the growing pig
must not be confined to forage crops
and roughage alone, and the fatten-
ing hog although it can use little
'pAulky and succulent food, should be
ed largely upon concentrated feed.
The legumes, alfalfa. rape, rye, sor-
ghum. millet, are carbonaceous feeds.
Blue grass contains less protein than
the former, but more than the latter
crops, consequently, If we are feed
ing pigs on pasture We must plan to
feed protein feeds If they have car
bonaceous forage and pasture and
carbonaceous feeds If they have pro-
TENACIOUS pasture and forage crops.
Pigs that have the run of clover
and alfalfa make the best gains II fed
a little corn and some Of the nitrogen
'eous feeds like oil meal. skimmilk or
wheat middlings However, 1t is usu-
ally more profitable to depend upon
the clover and alfalfa pasture and
not feed the more expensive feeds.
With carbonaceous forage and past
ure 1t will pay to feed less corn and
more Of the heterogeneous feeds.
If we have our pigs well developed
on forage and protein feeds they will
be in condition to finish on corn alone
the last two months.

TRIMMING OF TOMATO VINES
Of Fruit If Done in Midsummer
Admits Sunshine.

Very few amateurs practice trim
ming tomato vines, but If this Is done
in midsummer, the yield of the fruit
is very greatly increased.
Extensive experiments at various
experiment stations have developed
the fact that the increase due to trim
ming is great. At the Maine station
this increase reached as high as so
per cent, and the gain in weight was
very marked, in one instance reaching
IS per cent.
The plants were grown under or
binary field culture, and they were
started in the greenhouse, April /.
headed back July "a, August 8, and
September 5.
OF course, in milder climates this
work should be done earlier.
At each trimming the leading
branches were shortened about six
inches, and most Of the side shoots
below the first clusters were re-
moved, the others being shortened,
and the sunlight was thus freely ad-
mitted
Training tomatoes on wires to run
from 8 to 10 feet high, is becoming
ommon practice This method in
-oreases the yield, as the sunlight
reaches all the fruit and makes pick
ing much easier.
1t is not difficult to train vines in
this way, and it can be done in any
ordinary garden by means Of wires.

Should Not Let Hay Sunburn.

The feeding value, as we'll as the
market value and palatability of hay,
is lowered by being sunburned. The
feeding value is probably hurt most
by the loss of leaves. Sunburned
clover and alfalfa lose large part of
the leaves in handling, and this is the
best part of the crop.
When the sun is shining very
brightly the clover or grass should
not be left in the swath long. A large
part of the curing should be done in
the windrow and the cock. Most of
the Aay is then shaded, and SO the
damaging effect OF intense sunshine
is reduced to the exposed portion.
And a shock cover will still further
lessen the injury from sun as well as
from rain.
