Australian Ewing Fox.

4
More e~nterprising travellers have at
various times attempted to bring in
as a curiosity the Australian flying
FOX. Unknown in this country, this
overgrown bat, which at it's largest
measures more than five feet across
the tips of its wings, is one of the
sat pests of Australia. In their
camps in the dense scrub of gullies
d swamps, they may be seer by the
~a1usGnds, crowded so thickly on the
ices that branches are frequently
broken by their weight. Their nightly
aids in search of food cover consider
Bile distances and they are especially
atrial to figs, bananas, peaches and
.sher soft fruit. Various eXpc dents
ave been tried to protect the
orchards, but hitherto these have
proved more expensive than success
I'll. On one occasion hundreds of
thousands of foxes were shot at an
expense to the government Of New
South Wales for powder and shot of
o cents each. A little later whole
ale destruction by means of dyna-
mite and other explosives was at
empted. The foxes avoided the trees
hat had been so carefully charged,
and the explosives did no harm.

OCCUPATION FOR THE WOMEN
Both Pleasure and Profit to Be Found
in the Keeping of Bees, Says
One Who Knows.

Beekeeping means not only pleas
ure and profit, but a more healthful
condition of body and mind. 1t is well
adapted to women and fits in with
other work. 1t is not necessary to de-
vote any regular time to it, as you can
generally plan for it according to the
work you lave on hand, and the sea
0 is practically confined to six
months of the year, writes Emily l..
Tucker in Farm and Fireside. AS to
location. it is possible to keep bees
in the city ven on the roofs of build
ings, but of course it is much better to
be in the suburbs, and better still in
The country. My sister and / have
kept bees for the past eight years. We
started with only TWO colonies. At
the end of our first season we had in
creased our colonies to four and had
taken off 25 boxes of honey, besides
several more boxes partly finished. We
gradually increased to 10 colonies, but
found that was too many to car for
with our other work, SO we have only
/ IS at present. Our crop of honey
varies according to conditions. Some
| seasons we have had over four hun
dred and fifty boxes of honey, besides
| many unfinished boxes hat we keep
| for our own use. What we sell retails
for 25 cents per box, but we make a
| special price to dealers. The net
| amount received for honey adds quite
a little to our income.

Slow Work on Dictionaries,

The progress Of the Oxford Eng
lish Dictionary" compared with that
of the great foreign dictionaries, has
not been slow. OF the works in any
way comparable in scope with the
Oxford work the ..Deutsches VORTEX
buch," inaugurated by Jacob and Will
helm Grimm, of which the first part
was published in 1852, is still incom-
plete, about one-sixth remaining to be
done; the "Woordenboek der neder-
landsche Taal," started in 1864, has
entered on the letter P, but has some
gaps to fill in earlier letters. The
"Ordbok Oliver Svenska Spraket,"
issued under the auspices of the
Swedish academy, began to be pub
lished in 1893, and in 20 years has
completed A and produced fractions
of B, G and D. Thus the "Oxford Eng
fish Dictionary" the first section of
which was published in 1884, is unique
among the great modern dictionaries
in the regularity of it's production

HolIanders' Time of Celebration.

One hundred years ago a big cele-
bration in honor of the emancipation
Of Holland was held in Albany, N. Y.
Word that the H%ollanders had sue
ceeded in throwing off the French
yoke and had proclaimed the prince of
Orange sovereign prince of the United
Netherlands, had just reached Amer
lea, though the events had taken
place two months previously. Albany,
which was originally called Fort
Orange, had been settled by the Dutch
in the early part of the seventeenth
century. Many of the descendants Of
these original settlers still lived In
the city and its vicinity. BY these peo-
pie the news of the emancipation OF
the mother country was received with
great rejoicing. Celebrations similar
to that in Albany were held about the
same time in New York city, in Phila-
delphia and in other places where
large colonies of Hollanders were IN
Guided in the population.

External Veuetarians.

Internal vegetarianism is common
,nough, but the external sort is rare.
t is the latest beauty fad.
Internal v~egetarians utilize vegeta-
lies by swallowing them. The other
lass apply vegetables to the skin
with, it appears, excellent results.
The red pulp of watermelon, accord
ing to external v~egetarians, is a good
astringent and, applied daily, will re-
move the most obstinate wrinkles.
Carrot water-rain water in which
rated carrots have stood overnight
s said to whiten and clarity consider
bly, the muddiest complexion.
For removing sunburn and freckfes
cucumber juice is recommended.
External vegetarianism offers a
number of recipes for making the, skin
fresh and ruddy-among others toma'
to pulp frictions, lemon frictions and
onion f%rictions,

IMPOSSIBLE TO DEFINE TIME
Measure Of It TO One Man Is by mol
Means the Same That It 10
to Another.

Time is something which cannot be
adequately defined. 1t is what scien-
lists call a relative thing-something
dependent on other things. It is, OF
course, measured by events, or rather
the sequence Of events.
Suppose, for instance. that 1t takes
a man n second to raise and lower
his hand. If there are other beings
that can perform the same action in
4 hundredth of a second, that period
will be a second to them, for after all,
we measure time by the number of
physical actions we can perform. This
being the case, certain insects that
live only a week have really lived
several years.
II we can image human life on an
electron, that tiny particle Of modern
physics, a thousand of which are found
in an atom of hydrogen, one second
OF our time is about twenty billion
years to them. On the other hand,
If we car imagine that stellar sys-
TENS have life, one of their seconds
is about twenty billion of our years.
A great many things depend upon
this idea of time. One minister ex-
plains the miracle of turning water
into wine by saying it all means sim
ply that the time of growth Of the
grape was shortened. The reason a
quick, active nan accomplishes so
much in the same time than a
| slow ono 10 that hoi liuoc NV q diffor.

Rapid Fall of Petroleum Level.

A recent article in Engineering is
of somewhat panicky tone over the
rapid waning of the worlds supply OF
petroleum. The enormous increase in
the consumption of petroleum products
is shown by the fact that while at the
beginning Of the century the oil wells
touched LOO feet in depth, now the
average level of the oil has fallen to
1900 feet. America, by reckless ex-
penditure of her resources, a IN
creased her annual output to 2OO,O0O,-
600 barrels, yet the demand for oil
for special purposes has become SO
great that the rise in price is consid-
erable-so great, indeed, that compe-
tition with coal for ordinary purposes
has become impossible" The United
States bureau Of mines has already
issued a warning and urged improved
methods.

Automatic Rain Gauge.

Qne of the most interesting mete-
geological instruments which have
been recently devised is an automat-
ically recording rain gauge which
may be left without supervision for a
period of eight days, and which will
make an accurate record of the rain
fall during that time. There is a de-
mapd for an instrument of this char
acter at stations where it is impracti-
cable to maintain a resident observer.

Many of these are young people
who have several years of life yel
before them to be lived out with
this handicap of total illiteracy,

BRITISH TAKE
AMERICAN SHIP
Oil Tanker Was Transferred
From German Registry.

Halifax, n. s., Oct. 20.-Just what
plan will be pursued with regard to
the American tank steamer Brindilla,
brought here by the British auxiliary
cruiser Caronia, could not be learned.
1t is supposed that the Brindllla,
which was formerly the German
steamer Washington, was suspected
of having contraband abord. 1t is also
reported that when she was halted by
the Caronia outside of New York har-
Dor last Tuesday she was steering a
course at variance with the ordinary
course for her announced destination,
Alexandria, Egypt.
It was thought possible that the
question whether the transfer of the
Brindilla from German to American
registry was a transaction in good
faith might be considered by the ad.
miralty court. The purchase Of the
steamer from the P;2derman line by
\the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey was announced Sept. q.
The Brindilla still flies the Stars
- : ttti-rsse - In
unless the prize court finds the shir
&egaIly to be a prize of war. The off
6cial inquiry may require two or three
days before prize court action is
taken.

The government has now shelved
the matter. declaring it to be a domes
