Australian Fire Eestiea.

The remarkable power of withstand
ing heat possessed by certain lizards,
which gave rise to the legend of the
salamanGer-a creature said actually
to live in fire-is not confined to the
reptile family. Professor Thomson has
recently given particulars of race of
Australian beetles which seem. to a
large extent, to be fireproof.
ut is said" he writes, that when a
bush fire is raging certain Buprestid
beetles are attracted from distance
perhaps by the scent, and fly straight
into the fire, alighting and running
about on the hot. steaming branches
and sometimes even over the parts
that arc glowing red, yet without in
jury. II. NJ. Giles speaks of it as 'one
Of the most agile species known to Inc
and as alert and active as an eagle.
1t is probable that. the larvae feed on

The remarkable habit is par1lleled
among a number of fire bug beetles
which lay their eggs in burnt timber

Poulton suggests, some chemical OF

AMERICAN FARMERS.

The American farmer is said by Col.
George Harvey in the North American
Review to be the worst farmer in the
world, and the Memphis Commercial
Appeal, after considering the matter
and making few dives into foreign and
home Statistics, reiterates the verdict
that Americans are the poorest farmers
in the civilized districts of this planet.
Tie people in Europe get twice as
many tushels Of wheat, oats and other
grain to the acre as do we Americans,
AMI their land is growing better every
year. while ours is becoming poorer each
year, according to the Government sta
tistics used in making up the decision
by the Commercial Appeal.
The facts embraced by Col. Harvey
and the Commercial Appeal are not new.
We haVe had them dinned into US for
these many years, along with the addi-
tional facts that the Japanese get more
than twice rs many bushels of grain
from an acre Of lard than do the peo-
PIE who double our output and the
Chiacsc can even outfarm the Japs.
Those Europeans, Japs and Chinese
have been ground by necessity and the
fruits Of their necessity are greater in
dustry and hardly taught knowledge o.
how to get the means of living.

Eiotation Of Minerals,

Every one has tried the experiment
Of floating needle OH water and then
watching the needle sink when it be
comes wet. The reason the needle floats
is because film of air surrounds the
needle, and, air being very light, the
combined weight Of the air and needle
is not enough to sink the needle. AS
soon as this air film is displaced by
water or, in other words. the needle be-
comes wet it sinks.
Writing in Metallurgical and Chemi-
cal Engineering, Professor Wilder D.
Bancroft shows how mixtures of oil
and water, with other agents, agitated
with air can be made to float valuable
minerals, while the valueless portion
sinks. This process, called "Hotation,' -
has made great Roadway in recent
years. and the savings effected by II
| each year are enormous. The same
principles apply in our bronzing liquids
in which the metal remains suspended
in q volatile liquid. A substance is
added which will keep the metallic
powder from rubbing off too readily
after it is applied.
