Marbles In Fruit Kettle.

have a neighbor who for some
time has used marbles to keep her
fruit from burning during the canning
season, and she says the plan works
admirably, writes a contributor. She
washes half a dozen large marbles and
drops them into the kettle when the
fruit begins to boil. The bubbles, ris-
ing at the bottom Of the kettle, keep
the marbles moving over the surface
in such a manner that the fruit does
not touch the bottom long enough to
be burned.-Mother's Magazine.

Life of the Peasants. Their Cottages and Their Steam Baths.
 An interesting account of the charac teristics of Siberian villages is given Gl his book, Siberia" by NJ. P. Price:
 "rhe villages through which we trav- eled on the way were Russian ip every respect Streets were wide and full of ruts and slime. The houses had log frames and rough hewn boards for the roof. They had a clean and well kept appearance and were surrounded D. fences of wooden boards Through the fence a gateway opened into court yard where the live stock were kept. stream generally runs behind the village, and the manure from the yards Is pitched in heaps along its banks. being carried away each year by the spring floods.
 ''There is a large room with brick stove. taking up perhaps quarter ot the room In this the family eat. live and sleep--some on the stove and some on the tloor-while a separate small room is kept and reserved for visitors or others who are not members of the family. The rooms are white washed. and each member of the family has d steam bath every week In hut kept for the purpose outside
 '"rhe notion that the Russian peasant is habitually dirty is most mistaken. Here. at all events. the average Sibe rian peasants house could compete with the best cottages in rural Eng land. The temperature of the rooms is generally rather trial to such as are not used to extreme cold outside and sealed windows with a stove inside"

Then Solve This Problem and Win
 Prize ot $25.o00.
 The largest single prize offered for n scientific discovery k still going beggiug The prize has been open to competition for naiiy years. At hrst sight the probltrn for solution of which the prize Is offered looks no more difficult than those with which high school students are familiar. but many of the greatest mathematicians in the world have tried to solve the problem and given 1t up in despair.
 It Is known as Fermat's problem Nearly 300 years ago Fermat, one of the greatest mathematicians who ever lived. stated that the equation xn+ yn=Zn could not be satisfied by whole numbers when n is an odd prime number different from unity. The prob lem may be stated in another way-viz that xm+ yn-zn cannot be satisfied when is any integer greater than 2. The one follows as a logical conclusion from the other
 The Academy of Sciences of Goettin gen. Germany. offers prize of 100000 marks about S25 GOO, for proof of this assertion This is the prize that Is going begging.
 pr. Joseph Bowden. professor of mathematics. Adelphi college, Brook lyn. asked by the Scientific American to state the precise conditions for win ming the prize. writes that the Acad emy of Sciences will not consider any manuscripts sent in. but only proposed solutions printed and offered for sale as monographs. in books on mathe- mntics or in mathematical periodicals The award will not be made until two years after the publication of the mem oir In order that mathematicians may have ample opportunity to test and "riticise the solution
 The object of these restrictions is to save the acad-ny from being flooded with undi.rsted manuscripts It will only consider solutions that have stood ihr test of sutie competent editor ot publisher in rhe first place.
