TERRA GOTTA.
Tho Ancient Greeks Used It, az Did
Also MichaeIangeio.

Terra Gotta means literally baked
Earth. 1t is usually employed as
though it meant only architectural or
naments made of baked clay. Yet
Michelangelo made statues of It, the
Japanese use it cleverly painted as
.imitation bronze" for busts, tea Jars
and bowls, and the ancient Greek chill
dren had terra Gotta dolls with NOV
able legs fastened by wooden pegs.
In the trade today pieces of clay
work for architectural ornament over
eight inches square are called terra
Gotta. Under that size they are called
ornamental brick.
The famous Della Robbia ware of
Italy was of terra Gotta covered with
OPAQUE enamel and painted. England
used it much. From the time of Hen
ry VIII. it was popular in large build
ings, and since Queen Anne's day 1t
has been used for ornamenting smaller
houses.
Terra Gotta can be produced in a va
riety Of colors, and, while rains leave
stone surfaces dingier, they brighten
surfaces made of the clay. 1t Is as
durable as stone; it can be produced In
more shades and colors; 1t can be mold
ed into great variety Of designs; 1t
can be given more delicate outlines
than stone; it is lighter than stone

EUGENIc CHICKS.
Hatehed Late, but PreeOciOus.

One of the great secrets OF successful
poultry raising is in having plenty OF
high priced eggs when most people are
signing over "the ways that are dark
and the tricks that are vain OF the
average fowl. Therefore II Is a con-
tinuai surprise that July always finds
scores of poultrymen and women with
their next winters supply of pullets just
Matched or at best only a week tor 10
davsold! A discouraging outlook indeed
il winter eggs are wanted. However, II
the chicks are from eggs laid by healthy,
vigorous stock and are given every op-
portunity to develop, from the day they
leave the she'll until fully maturedt there
is still a chance of getting winter eggs
by January.
The three necessary essentials TO rapid
growth are an unlimited supply OF fresh
air night and day lbut this doesn't mean
draughtsl, liberal amount OF clean,
sound, wholesome food and pure water,
and sufficient exercise in the fresh air
and sunshine. II the chicks have been

every possible advantage by putting them

over which may be spread about two
inches Of earth, and 10 prevent the earth

narrow strip Of wood two inches wide

for the chicks TO hop out over. The

The condors live throughout the

a portion of the year condors roost in

they retire TO the most broken and ter

WHAT is ELECTRICITY
L Seems to Be an Effect Produced by
Energy on Matter.


1t is a curious fact that although EVIL
dence Of electricity in a primitive way
was observed as long ago as the1sixth
century B. G. and its manifestation has
become one of the greatest factors in
our modern civilization, no one knows
just what II is.
At different times it has been thought
TO be form of matter, thin, weight
less fluid, kind of force, a variety or
motion and a disturbance In the ether
which is supposed to fill all space, in
Guiding pores In most solid metals.
Electricity is not something created by
man. He has simply discovered ways
of turning its manifestations to prac-
teal account,
From the time that Thales observed,
centuries before the Christian era, that
amber, after being rubbed by silk, had
the property of attracting light bodies
like bits of paper, discoveries OF cleo
trio phenomena were made from time
to time, but they We're detached from
a realization of the great possibilities
brought to light In recent years.
Electricity becomes evident when
rendered active by some molecular dis
turbance. such as friction, rupture or
chemical action. Scientists today re-
gard it as neither energy nor matter,
but, like heat, light and sound, 1t is an
effect produced by energy on matter.
1t has been discovered that electric
ity is a self existent property, by which
we are everywhere surrounded, and
human as we'll as inanimate bodies can
be charged with It, From this we can
understand that many more remark
able discoveries of its application will
be made.-Rocky Mountain News.
