PAID DEARLY FOR VANITY
How Diplomats Precious Stones
Were Levied on to Fill Out the
Lean Privy Purse.

The princeling of the comic opera
country had sent to his minister in a
far rich country the decoration of the
National Order of the Golden Goat. 1t
was a cheap trinket, plentifully
adorned with imitation jewels. But
the minister, being a vain man and
prosperous, had the false stones re
placed by real ones. and wore his
order thereafter with proper pride.
Then after some years the prineeling
came a-visiting to the far country.
Naturally the minister came TO pay
his respects Almost at once the
eyes of the princeling fell upon the
order with the real stones. and he sat
as one fascinated, prolonging the In
terview with idle questions and pay
ing no attention to the answers. He
was resolving problem-for the
privy purse was leaner than usual
inst then. At last he saw his way
clear to make q coup

Steam to Clear the Soil.

A new piece OF agricultural appa-
ratus has been developed for the pur-
pose of combating the destructive Bugs
and undesirable vegetable growths by
an application of steam to the soil pen
etrating some distance below the sur
face. The machine carries a steam
generating plant and moves over The
surface on large drum, the periphery
of which is staggered with protruding
steam outlets in the shape of blades or
spines. AS the apparatus is drawn over
the ground the spines embed them
selves in the soil and while in this po-
sition the steam is released and pene-
trates the soil for some distance
around the. outlet. killing the worms,
larvae and bugs and the undesirable
crop of weeds which seed themselves
from one season to another.-Scien-
tific American.
