saw a chap in black mask step out
and pick them up and then jump back
into the dark. Then the voice that
spoke first gave him the hint not to

WHY Do Seals Swallow stones7

No nature student seems yet to nave
discovered for what reason seals swal-
low stones. though the fact is n well
established one. Certainly the stones
are not taken in for ballast for the
empty seals keep down as easily as the
others. They are not swallowed Tor
the purpose Of grinding up food. Tor
they are found in the stomachs OK
nursing pups. They are not taken In
with the food because they are found
In the stomachs Of both young seals
and in those that live In the open sea
and feed on squid. Yet 1t Is evident
that these things are not swallowed
haphazard. but are selected with con-
siderable care from the articles strewn
along the shore. and that preference
Is exhibited for rounded objects. This
Is shown by the fuct that. as rule.
only articles Of one kind are found IN
any one seals stomach.

Boost for Potatoes.

The early fear that the rigorous in
spection OF potatoes in Maine would
work to the disadvantage Of growers has
fully disappeared. All concerned agree
it was almost blessing In disguise, just
the same az Mr.. Hale of Connecticut de
clarsd of the San Jose scale. The latter
pest forced fruit growers to spray and
take better care Of their fruit. The In
spection of Maine potatoes did the same
thing with the result that growers them
selves are protected from disease getting
a foothold in their fields and the mar
ket is strengthened by customers being
abundantly satisfied with the product.
To be sure, there have been inconven-
fences in the matter Of inspection, but
good things should cost something. In
cidentally, it is worth noting that very
little powdery scab, the disease feared,
has been found. The state and federal
authorities deserve heartiest commenda-
tion for the promptness with which
thew acted. Entire sections where such
remedial work was not done against the
spread of the disease have been made
barren. Now through prompt aud eff.
cient work, Maine and New England
will be spared this potato seo1rge and
the product will command increasing
confidence of the buying public.-New
England Homestead.

coust, rsiIs and the Sun.

A theory to explain the tails OF com
cts Ia advanced by the French physi
cist, NJ. HOullevigue In the Revue Sci
entifiuue. 1t is natural to suppose. he
says, that the Incandescent nucleus o!
a comet is throwing out electrons into
the extremely raretied atmosphere that
surrounds II. The observations OF
George Ellcry Hale. the American as
tronomer. prove that the sun behaves
like negatively electrified body
Therefore he repels electrons. which
are negatively electrified bodies. These
particles so repelled would be driven
To that side of the comet which Is
farthcst from the sun, and by contact
with the molecules Of the gaseous and
raretied atmosphere would produce just
the luminous appearance that We call
comets tail.
Every comets tail always extends
away from the sun. Arrhenius. the
Swedish astronomer. believed that the
particles Of the tail We're repelled by
the light Of the sun.

Getting into the Dairy Business.

Every now and then We get letters
from men who want TO get into the dairy
business. Naturally such letters come
from men who have had little or no ex.
perience in the work. Their desire is OF
course legitimate. Their lack Of kuowl-
edge, however, often leads them to re-
quest the impossible. They usually
have little money or maybe farm,
and they write for full instructions as to
how to succeed. The general tenor of
such inquiries iudicates that there Is
still abroad the idea that anybody can
farm"
There is q class of agricultural litera-
tuIe that 10 written for just such men,
1t is an especial appeal to the back-to-
the lander and excites his Imagination as
to what be could do If he had a farm,
These articles make the seasoned farmer
laugh TO say the least. The novice, in
his ignorance and desire to get his 10
acres aud-independence or his 40-acres'
aud "a. fortune, looks around for a cue
thinking, no doubt, that if he can just
start in the right direction everyth ing
will 60 along swimmingly and the inde'
pendence and fortune will be his.
There is just one safe course open to
such men. They should hire out to
some good dairy farmer for few
months or year or until they learn
what they don't know about the bust
ness and begin to acquire some facts
that will help them to start right wher
they once begin for themselves.
As q rule, these men would laugh tC
scoru anyone who would have the nerve
to write to them for complete instruc.
tious for going into their particular lint
of business in the city. They would be
apt to say to such one, "YOu fool, gel
on some overalls and begin sweeping
floors az did and after few years yor
will learn the business il You have the
right kind of stuff in you" Yet thel
do more foolish thing using the same
means. The man who In going to make
q success, that is. be independent o.
| make fortune out of the dairy bust
ness, has more to learn and requires {
broader knowledge of things gener all!
than is required Of nine-tenths of the
city men in their shop, store or offc

and Lyon wasn't on speaking terms.
Yet the man who shot Lyon camped
with him-slep' beside him-must "a
