Lost Skill Of the AneIents.

From the earliest periods OF which
we have historical records one Of
mans greatest problems has been
to lift heavy loads rapidly and en-
ciently. Some Of the greatest monu-
ments Of antiquity were built under
conditions that involved lifting Of
heavy pieces Of building material to
great heights. but how II was done
we do not know to this day. The
manner in which the great stones
were raised to their places In the
pyramids in Egypt has always been q
mystery and probably always will be-.
It is certain, however. that the build
ers Of these wonderful monuments
we're possessed of mechanical contriv-
lnces that were lost In the dark ages
Intervening between their time and
ours. or they possessed patience to q
more remarkable degree than is ex-
hibited In any race of men at the

Discovery Of Soap.

Soap appears to have been discov-
sred by tho Celts, for the name Is de-
rived from the Celtic word "sebon." It
seems strange that such early wan
ierers should have been familiar with
soap, but II they had the name they
must certainly have had the article II
stood for. Moreover, IT is quite con-
:eivable that nomads using wood fires
could accidentally discover soap. All

MAY YET DYE SILK IN LEAF
Experiments Have Almost Convinced
Scientists That Such a Thing 10
Within Range Of Possibility.

Silk Is tho secretion OF two glands of
the silkworm lying alongside tho d.
gestlve canal. These glands, which
consist OF numerous coiled tubes, ter
inmate in a spinning-wart. From a
common orihce In the spinning-wart
the secretion. Of tho consistency of
honey, issues forth, promptly harden
ing into thread on exposure to the
air. Usually the silk is colorless on
leaving the body of the silkworm, but
sometimes II Is straw yellow or green
fish. Why? The answer has been a
matter of long dispute. Some claim
that the larva itself produces the
color; others ascribe 1t to impurities
acquired upon secretion; still others
are of the opinion that the green color
OF the leaves of the mulberry tree is
the cause. Two French scientists, Lev
rat and Conte. determined TO settle the
dispute. They fed silkworms on null
berry leaves which had been saturated
with nonpoisonous aniline red and ami
line blue. With what result? Not
only were the silkworms turned red or
blue but their secreted silk assumed
the respective colors. Who knows but
some day we may be dyeing silk in the
leaf instead Of In the vat?

now and again a new one hobs up un.

the proprietor walked with them to

Yes; two replied the customer.
A few seconds later tho proprietor

but with the exact change, a 25-cent

the wondering customer. you didn't

BREAKING UP
BROODINESS.
By G. Il Conkey.

Perhaps the quickest way to
break up broodiDess in a hen Is to
place her in cage or coop made
of latb or wire netting. When
this cannot be IN the shade, there
should be roof of some kind.
Regardless of the other details
the floor should always be Slated
for this leaves no chance for q
nest, The coop is then suspended
away from the ground or blocked
up few inches. A great many
of the modern houses today have
a coop Of this kind as a part of
the interior fixtures. Very often
a broody coop is built on the end
of the droppings board platform,
a false bottom of Stats being nut
in. However, such coops may be
placed at any out of the way place
along the side wall. Where the
business Is carried on in large
scale it is a great saving in time
il the birds do not have to be re.
moved from the building.
Another way to handle broody
hens is to place q number of them
IN a pen with a vigorous male.
There should be no nests IN the
pen, of course, and not much lit.
ter on the floor. A good male
will keep the hens moving with
no chance to sit. In a few davs
they will be cured of their broodi
ness when they can be returned
to their laying pen.
Regardless of the method em
ployed there is one thing to be EN-.
phasized strongly and that is to |
take the broody hens in hand ear.
~, before the disposition to SIT
becomes too deep seated. When. |
ever hen sticks to the nest for a
greater part of the day or 10
found On the nest at roosting time
showing the usual symptoms of
oroodiness then start breaking
her up at once. 1t is a serious
mistake not to give these broodv
hens proper attention for 1t means
dollars to the owner. This Ia one
OF the poultry profit "leaksn that
may be very easily stopped.
FEEDING BROODY HENS.
do not starve or even give
light feeding to a broody hen. On
the contrary, feed her rather liber
ally on we'll balanced laying ra
ton that is, If anything, more slim
ulatIng than is ordinarily giver,
Meat in some form should be fed
freely at this time. Good feeding
will stimulate the egg organs to
action and the result will be a
minimum loss of time.
1t seems to be characteristic :
with certain individu ais in a flock
to lay just few eggs and then /,
become broody, keeping this up /,
through almost the entire summer {
months. Such poor layers and q
chronic sltters should always be I
