An OLD philarthrnnx-

That there is such an institution as
THE General Society OF Mechanics
and Tradesmen OF the City OF New
York" will probably be news to the
majority OF the people who read OF
the bequest OF s1.SOO.OoO to It in the
viii OF the late Amos F. Emo. Yet it
has been doing a good work in this
city ever since 17s5. and this splsn-
did addition TO its resources will be
the means Of extending activities long
shown by experience to meet real
needs. Its evening classes In draw
ing, modelling. architecture. Industrial
electricity, etc. are attended by more
than 1000 students; and it is said that
there is waiting list OF an equal
number. Such a bequest is a remind
er at once Of the grand scale on
which charitable and educational
gifts are made in this country in our
time. and Of the great number and
variety OF institutions devoted to
benedcent objects. many OF them sell
dom in the public eye. that are being

Concrete vs.. SAT- Water.

A series OF time tests to determine
the action Of salt water upon different
grades Of concrete has recently been
completed in Boston. Five years ago.
"a concrete piers were sunk into the
waters OF Charleston bay. These
piers were Is feet long and as NAM
inches square in order that a large
surface might be available for the
action OF the salt water.
Last month they were taken up for
inspection. one was practically in
perfect condition. One was almost
completely severed near the middle
by the erosion OF the water. and 9TH
ers showed signs OF disintegration
Each specimen represented different
formula for producing concrete. The
result Of this test will be OF practical
value In future construction OF sea
walls. hreakwaters and other concrete
work exposed to salt water.

BLUE BEARS BY ACCIDENT
Philadelphia Zoo Gets Rare Animals
From Tibet-Only Ones in
America.

There arrived in New York last Feb
ruary the final shipments Of large wild
animals, as the war has completely
paralyzed the trade. OF which the Ger
mans controlled about rs per cent In
this shipment were several young
bears, which were sent over as Rus
sian brown bears. Ursus arctos. Two
OF these. a male and a female, were
acquired by the Philadelphia Zoolog-
ical society. When the. arrived at the
gardens II was at once noticed that
they were in many characteristics en-
urely different from any knO-n va
riety OF their supposed type. which
rarely shows variations on the other
hand. they corresponded in every no
ticeable particular with the Tibetan
blue bear described by Blyth.
As the animals were still very
young. it was not possl BILE at that time
20 Identify them. nor was it possible
90 ascertain where they were cap
rrred. Since they have been here,
however. they have grown sufficiently
to determine beyond reasonable doubt
that they are Tibetan bears Their
most striking characteristic is their
white-tipped blackish hair. which
gives their fur a hoary appearance
and imparts a light blush tinge This
Is never known to occur in any other
old world bears.
And so, by the uerest chance. the
Philadelphia 700 made the most i'm
pOrtant acquisition in years, and these
two blue bears from Tibet Ursus
bruinosus, are the only specimens in
the United states AS far as is known,
they are the only ones that have ever
reached an American collection Their
habitat IS Tibet. in the neighborhood

FORTY OIL MILLS
WILL CRUSH PEANUTS
Industrial Congress Representative
Says Demand Now for 10000
Bushels OF Peanuts.

Several reasons why more peanuts
should be raised in Texas were given
Wednesday by II, r. Herndon OF the
Industrial Congress, with headquarters
in Dallas, who is In Houston attend
ing the Cattle Raisers Association
convention.
I'VE are Just getting responses
from the oil mill trade" said Mr..
Herndon. in answer to circular let.
ters We sent out asking about the ex.
tent Of the local market for peanut
products. This is a matter OF interest
to the farmer Just now.
I'VE wanted to know how many oil
mills are preparing TO crush peanuts
this year. On Monday when left
the office the letters we had received
indicated that there would be a mar
ket for 100000 bushels. Last year the
I marketed product represented 10000
bushels. This does not represent all
the crop grown. for thousands Of tons
we're baled nuts and all for hay. be
cause the oil mills had not worked up
the business.
"Not less than forty mills are pre-
pairing to handle the 1916 crop. One
oil mill got $4,000 gallons OF oil from
400 tons OF nuts OF the 1915 crop. and
Il was found that all the oil could
~ readily sold. but the stock feeders
we're inclined to be rather conserva.
tive about using the peanut meal as a
feeding equivalent TO cotton seed cake.
The feeders will have to be educated
to use peanut meal In 1914 when the
price Of cotton fell below the cost OF
production the question arose on the
part OF live stock feeders as to where
some cheap protein product could be
had
The peanut is rich in protein.
about per cent greater than cotton
seed, and Is extremely useful as a
balancing ration used with corn or
grain sorghum heads.
III conditions arise in the future 10
make II necessary to quit raising cot
ton the peanut will serve equally we'll
or better. The feeders should not be
conservative about the use of peanut
meal. l.'-Houston Post.
