Great Animal Swimmers.

The rhinoceros and hippopotamus
are wonderful swimmers and divers,
while the Indian elephant crosses
great rivers with heavy loads. The
elk and the reindeer are irst-class
swimmers. The elk keeps mis- head
above water and crosses directly from
bank to bank to avoid turning. The
reindeer, on the other hand, turns
as often as he likes, keeping; his head
only a little above tine surface. Har-
per's says:
But Of all swimmers Of all times the
best, though not the swiftest, is the
polar bear, who passes half his time in
the water swimming and diving. His
swimming power is nothing short OF
miraculous if it be remembered that
the water in the regions he frequenrs
is invariably cold and that cold is nor
malIy prohibitiye to good swimming.
There are bears that can swim from
forty to fifty kilometers without great
effort
One of the swiftest swimming ami
mails is the squirrel. A sportsman on
one occasion, having at hand a squir-
rel born in captivity, which had never
seen water, wanted to see if it could
swim, and took it with him in row.
boat to the centre of a lake. The squir-
rel turned toward the bank, head and
paws above the water, and tail under
meath it, and began to swim so rapidly
that the man recovered it when it
neared the shallow water near the
land. 1t is said that even many non
aquatic birds will swim like ducks
if an attempt be made to drown them.

Honesty in Business.

Commenting on the statement
made recently that a large business
man found nearly all persons honest,
the representative of another con-
cern, doing from $3O,OOO,OOO to $780,
100000 of business every year, said
to me yesterday: Going back over
our accounts for a period of seven
years, can assure you that our losses
have been less than a tenth of enc
per cent"
That is certainly small loss. If
every time you handle $1,000 in a
business way you lose less than 81
through misfortune, trickery or dis
honesty, the record looks pretty
clean. The figures indicate that the
man who is habitually dishonest does
not survive in business.
A. Philadelphia mnufacturer of cot
ton garments tells me that in nine
years his plant has lost total Of on
ly $3.50 through inability to collect
the debts due it. I asked him how it
was, possible to keep the losses SO
small. His reply was that his factory
sold it's output mostly to large con-

ONE GRAIN OF WHEAT.
How it is Made to Produce 10000
Grains in a Single Year.

Great interest is taken in France
lust now in a new method by which
the yield of crops per acre is enor-
mously Increased. In one test case
The yield of wheat has been three
times above that grown in similar
soil in the same neighborhood.
The remarkable value of the meth
cd is indicated by the statement that
it has made 20 grains of wheat pro-
duce 100000 in one year.
The method consists in preparing
seed beds in widely spaced lines on
very mellow land, then at the end OF
two months dividing the tufts spring
ing from each grain, replanting each
of these rooted shoots thus detached,
and finally in hoeing and earthing up
those new plants many times in such
manner as to provoke at all the points
brought into intimate contact with
the earth the growth of numerous ad-
ventitious shoots, each of which bears
an ear.
The system is not really new, but
very ancient one, used immemorially
by the Chinese, and to it is due the
enormous yield of their fields, which
have been treated like gardens.
While our farmers throw broad
cast handfuls of grain on the har-
rowed earth, offering rich pasturage
to pillaging birds and rodents, the
Chinaman, after furrowing the earth
with his wooden plow-share without
turning it, crumbles each lump in his
hands till it is like fine powder. This
done, at planting time he walks slow
ly down each furrow, carrying a grain
drill, which is q. marvel of ingenius
simplicity.
Picture to yourself TWO pointed
plow-shares about 20 inches apart
and connected by transverse bar
supporting a hopper filed with grain
from which issue two slender bamboo
tubes designed to conduct the grains
so that each will drop in the wake of
one of the shares The diameter of
each tube is just great enough to al
low the passage of one grain at
time without letting it drop until it
receives the impulse Of slight shock
given by means of the handles which
complete the apparatus.
The sower pushes the drill in front
of him, inclining it now to the right
and now to the left in such way
that each inclination causes the issue
of a single seed, which is instantly
pressed under by the track of one foot
or the other. Each grain is thus plant
ed at a distance Of 16 to 20 inches
from it's neighbors in every direction.
At the end of a few weeks germin-
alton begins. When the young plant
is ten or twelve inches in height there
are a score of stalks about its stem,
each provided with fringe of root
lets. The farmer covers each with
loose earth by means of careful hoe
ing, thus raising the level of the fur
row. Each stalk again proliferates,
and there are soon fifteen to twenty
new stalks around it's stem, which de-
tach themselves. All are the indirect
issue of a single grain, which proves
therefore to have been the parent of
800 to 400 stalks, each bearing an
ear.
Transferring this wethod to expert
mental fields and perfecting it, it has
been found possible to separate from
