Meaning Of Sabotage"

Sabotage" in French is not only
word to designate the manufacture of
"sabots," wooden shoes, it is also the
word for an opera ton consisting in
gashing obliquely the wood traverses
of the railroads to fix in them the
chairs for the rails.
This settled, let me add that some
years ago, not far from Paris and in
the time of strike. few men had
worked to the repair of a railroad
when an inspector discovered that
most of the chairs were fixed in such
way that infallibly a train that was
coming would be overturned in the
trenches.
"Quel sabotage" (What sabotageo
was the exclamation of the Inspector,
who running ahead of the train, nag
in hand, managed to stop it.
To the justice, the gendarmes, re-
porters, in fact every one who after
ward questioned him, the inspector,
throwing his arms above his mead,
was first answering: "Quel sabotage!
Duel sabotage" and the next day the
French press adopted the word "sa-
| botage" as meaning of mischievous
and criminal act.-N. Y. Sun.

Perfect Timepieces.

An astronomical clock must keep
more nearly perfect time than any
other instrument The makers of such
clocks have to consider how much eff
feet slight changes in the temperature
and in the pressure of the air will have
upon the oscillation of the pendulum.
DR.. S. Refer, q German maker of as
Economical clocks, has prepared a set
of tables that show the weights OF
dry and moist air at varying temper
atures and atmospheric pressures. The
tables show that at pressure of $50
rnilligrams, as the temperature chang
es 'front.' degree to sc degrees cent?
grade, the weight of liter of air
changes from 1,29661 milligrams to l.
1879 milligrams. The tables also
show that AZ the temperature of 0 de-
gree as the pressure changes from $50
millimeters to 100 millimeters, the
weight of a liter of air changes from
6t.66O milligrams to 1.34279 milligrams
According to Popular Astronomy,
there is II Riefier clock at Potsdam in
which virtually all the influences that
affect the swinging pendulum, no mat
ter how minutely, are compensated
fer The pendulum, of this astronoin-
ical clock swings with such precision
that after 576000,000 seconds tmore
than Is years. the error of the clock

industry having suffered from the
shortcomings of the poorer forms. Eff
forts to ship the delicate Porto Rican
fruits have thus far failed. For this
island il is recommended that the hard

from Cuba. Experiments have demon
strated that avocados can be success

At present the season for avocados
in the markets of the United States
is the late summer and early autumn.
BY importing from different countries
however, the season could be extended
throughout the entire year.
The plant requires a strictly tropical
climate with the possible exception
Of some of the hardy varieties of the
Mexican table lands, and to be prolific
there should be a distinct dry season.
Young plants are readily propagated
from seed. and budding and grating
can be accomplished. the former me-
thod being in common use in Florida.
As far as can be judged from the
limited and irregular. supply, the mar
lzet is good, especially in the latter
part of the season. Prices range from
10 to 60 cents apiece. Uniformity as
regards both quantity and quality Is
the prime requisite for sustaining the
market.

NEW FRUITS DISCOVERED.
Department of Agriculture Discovers
Some Varieties.

Among the many new creations
which the Department of Agriculture IS
bringing before the public is the avo-
cado, Il fruit which does not possess
the usual fruit" character as food,
since it is in reality a salad, being very
generally eaten with condiments. This
unusual role. however, removes it from
direct Competition with other fruits
and tends to make it's popularity per-
nanent
This fruit is undoubtedly of Ameri-
can origin, but appears to have been
introduced into the West Indies after
their discovery. 1t was an important
article of food among the Indians OF
the continent from Mexico to Peru.
II is not yet certain whether the cultl-
waited trees belong to one or more spe-
cies, botanical writer's having given
little attention to the many cultivated
sorts. There are many wild species
OF Persca in this region.
Though few varieties have been de-
scribed, the diversity of form is very
great In general this diversity seems
to follow geographical lines, the forms
of any particular region being more
or less closely related. A very dis
tinct type, with thick, hard skin, was
found in Guatemala, which promises
to surpass in shipping qualities the
better known forms.
The avocados now found in the mar
kcts come largely from Cuba, and the
chief commercial difficulty is occas-
toned by the poor shipping qualities

ORIGINAL JoSEPH'S WELL.

Large Circumference.

Lolhs Parker's play Joseph and

doris, including representation of Jo-
seph's well, reminds one that the re-
mains of the original well are to be
found at a spot situated directly on
the canal route from Schechem to
Memphis about two miles southeast of
Cairo. The Well itself is in the court
yard of some barracks belonging to
the army of occupation.
Near by is the CITADEL" the second
largest mosque in Egypt. The well
bears signs of having been bricked up.
Yet 1t is easy to see that Josephs dis
comfiture could not have been so great
as one might imagine. For this well,
like all the wells of Egypt. is of a cir
conference much larger than those of
today and Joseph would have been
able to exercise his limbs with ease
by walking around it. Moreover
