unStdDIe n.~En.

The celebrated observatory at
Greenwich, the place from which we
reckon longitude, was founded by
Charles II in 1875, mainly for the pur
pose Of investigating the movements
of the moon in the interests of naviga
tien. Although in the intervening two
and a half centuries astronomers have
worked at the problem, the moon has
not yet become entirely amenable
to their mathematics. The astrono
ner-royal of Great Britain, in his re
port of the work at Greenwich during
the past year, calls attention to the in.
creasing deviation between the cal
culated position of the moon in the
sky and its real position as shown by
the Greenwich observations. The de-
Walton has lately been growing In a
serious manner. The error last year
was more than twelve times as large
as the error twenty years ago, and the
average annual increase during the
two decades has amounted to half a
second of arc in longitude. The rea-
son that astronomers have failed in
getting exact results from calculations
based on dynamical laws of gravita-
ton Is possibly the existence of some
attractive force that they have not
yet discovered, although the result
may also be affected by the true shape
Of the earth, which still awaits accu-
rate determination Compan-
ion.

American kitchens-How They
Should Be Made.

The Mexican recipe for making hot
tamales is to cook one or two chick
ems until tender. Remove all meat
from the bone, shred it in the chop
ping machine and add to it the liquor
In which the chicken has been
cooked. This is seasoned with any
desired condiments, especially red
pepper, and thickened with cornmeal.
The rolls are about the size of link
sausages and they are wrapped in the
inner husks of green corn. Tie the
husks with strings at each end and
boil them for three hours. 1t is best
to taste the preparation before add
ing meal to note whether it is rich
or needs more seasoning, allowing for
the meal to be added, which will take
up the sharp flavor.
To make tamale pie, take one pound
of hamburg steak or leftover meat
cut fine, add one level cupful of seed
ed raisins, one dozen stoned olives,
salt, pepper and red pepper to taste.
Stew until tender and thicken with
one tablespoonful of cornmeal. Then
stir one and one-half eupfuls of corn
meal into boiling salted water, add
one tablespoonful of shortening and
cool to the consistency of mush. Line
buttered baking dish with about
two-thirds of this mixture, pour in
the meat, cover, with the remaining
mixture and bake for one-haif hour

EIectrocution Trap For
Insects Brings Comfort
For Summer Evenings.

An electrocution trap for insects Is
one of the latest inventions to bring
comfort to mankind. Now 1t will be
possible to sit reading in peace on
your porch at night while the electro
cution trap kills off the insects that
would naturally seek you as their prey.
Upon an insulated frame two naked
metal conductors are coiled in a spiral
with sufficient space between the wind
ings. The two conductors are connect
ed with a source of electricity in such
a manner that the current cannot cir
culate until it is actually used in kill
ing an insect.
This is one o. the advantages of the
invention, for in this way no current
can be wasted. Insects may be at
tracted to the electrocution either by
water or by any other attractive sub
stance. At night time electric lights
are the best.
AS quickly as an insect touches the
bait or~the light and comes in contact
with any two of the live wires they
drop down into the bottom of the trap.
The current is very slight and passes
through the insect only for moment.

HOT WATER AND "ANURlC"
BEFORE MEALS--AND HEAL TH

All people in America and especially
those who are past middle age are prone
to eat too much meat and in conse-
quence deposit hme-salts in their arter-
les, veins and joints. They often suffer
from twinges of rheumatism or lumbago,
sometimes from gout, swollen hands or
feet. Such people are not always able
to exercise sufficiently in the outdoor
air or drink enough pure water in order
to sweat freely and excrete impurities
thru the skin. Dr. Pierce has conducted
experiments and thoroughly tested a
uric acid solvent at his Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute which he is con-
vinced is many times more potent than
lithia-this he named "Anuric. 1t

Music by Wireless.

A young California inventor has de-
signed an apparatus whereby selec-
tions played on a phonograph have
been transmitted to several neighbor-
ing homes equipped with special re-
ceiving instruments, Popular Mechan-
les Magazine states. In some in
stances the instruments have been
installed In the dining room and by
this arrangement the neighbors have
been entertained at mealtime. A
wireless telephone apparatus upon
which the inventor has been working
several years is used at his central
station. A phonograph, in which the
horn is an integral part of the body
of the instrument, is used in producing
the selections. The Stats are removed
from the mouth of the horn and with
In 1t are placed two ordinary telephone
transmitters, from which the sounds
are carried by wires to the wireless
telephone outfit which, after serving
as an ampliher, sends the waves
through a cable in the aerial on the
roof, whence they are discharged into
the air.
The waves are caught by the varh
Gus receiving stations and conveyed
by wires to receivers each of which
is fitted with a small megarhone. In
several instances head appliances with

FOSSIL FOREST IN AMERICA
Yellowstone Park Contains One Of the
Most Remarkable of Natural
Curiositles.

Remarkable fossil forests exist In
Yellowstone park, the most remark-
able, it is believed, of the several fos-
sill forests which have been discovered
there are others in Egypt, In Cali
fornia and in Arizona-because In the
Yellowstone most of the trees were
entombed in their original upright po-
sition and not found recumbent and
scattered about the ground.
In Arizona, for instance, the fos-
silized trunks have evidently been ear
ried long distance from where they
originally grew.
In the Yellowstone the trees now
stand where they grew, and where
they are entombed by the outpourinx
of various volcanic materials.
Now as the softer rocks surrounding
them are gradually worn away they
are left standing erect on the steep
hillsides just as they stood when they
were living; in fact, it Is difficult at
little distance to distinguish some Of
these fossil trunks from the Hchen-
covered stumps of kindred living spo.
cies. Such an aggregation Of fossil
trunks Is therefore well entitled to b
called true fossil forest.
It should not be supposed, however.
that these trees still retain their limbs
and smaller branches, for the mass Of
volcanic material falling on them
stripped them down to bare, upright
trunks.

chamberlain's Recipe for Success.

One night at Lady Jeune's house Jo-
seph Chamberlain said to me that he
believed any man of even moderate en-
dowment could attain any given aim
which he set before him with unre-
hitting effort and enduring to the
end" To my question, why, then, do
so many men fall short Of their ambi-
tions?" he answered: They come to
the place where they turn back. They
may have killed the dragon at the first
bridge and at the second, perhaps at
the third; but the dragons are always
more formidable the further we go.
Many turn back disheartened, and
very few will meet the monsters to
the end. Almost none is willing to
have a try with the demon at the last
bridge; but If he does, ne has won
