THE ELECTRIC TWINS

Every town has a favorite story
with which the citizens love to amuse
the stranger. This is the one they
tell at Salida, Colorado. Salida is
the western gateway of the Royal
Gorge. On the edge of the town a
mountain rises abruptly thousand
feet, and offers from it's top a view
far down the gorge.
The Commercial Club conceived the
idea of erecting on the peak a large
electric sign that would flash the name
of the city down the gorge to be seen
by passengers on approaching trains
several miles before Salida was reach
ed
On the night the sign was to be u.s.
ed for the first time civic celebra-
ton was held. The band played the
people gathered in the streets, and at
the appointed moment the mayor
pressed the button. The populace
craned their necks to behold "SALI-
DA" shine forth from the mountain
top, but to their dismay, "SAL" and
no more shone out.
The next day the sign was put in
order, as the electrician declared, and
that night again the mayor pressed
the button. Once more there was a
moment of hesitation, and then "IDA"
appeared, unaccompanied by "SAL".
The following night there was more
button-pressiong, and every night
thereafter for two or three weeks.
Sometimes "SAL" shone out, and
sometimes "IDA"; but something was
radically wrong, and, do their best,
the boosters never could prevail on
"Sal" and "Ida" to come out on the
same night. The project was finally
abandoned. The visitor now notices
curious platform on top of the noun
tain. Invariably he inquiries about
it, and then the natives tell him of
the contrariness of "Sal" and "Ida".

changed in amount in every direction
through the liquid.
Perhaps the most familiar applica-
ton of Pascal's law is the hydraulic
press. In that machine, a pump hav-
ing a small piston drives water into a
large cylinder and thereby forces up
ward a large piston, which congresses
whatever is placed between the plat
form of the piston and the fixed cross
beam at the top of the press. If
the area of the larger piston is one
hundred times that of the smaller, a
downward force Of one pound exert
ed on the smaller piston will create
an upward force of one hundred
pounds upon the larger piston. If
the bottle that you use in the expert
ment has an inside area of fifty-four
square incehs, and the end of the
stopper an area of one half square
inch, a pressure of one pound upon
the stopper will give a pressure of
one hundred and eight pounds on the
bottle. If water could be compress
ed like air, of course the bottle would
not break.

prophets of all varieties are making
an effort to answer this question.
Last fall the Montana Indians pre-
dicted hard winter and their predic-
tions were fulfilled. This fall the same
Indians say the signs point to late
open winter. They take many natural
signs into consideration, among them
being the light husks on the corn this
year, the fact that oak trees have
borne no acorns, the Buffalo berry
crop is light, the muskrats have not
began to build their winter houses
fur-bearing animals have thin coats
and the bark on poplar trees is loose.
Those who have followed the In
dians' predictions in other years place
great confidence in these signs. Our
scientific friends would probably call
it all superstition.

HOW TO BREAK A
BOTTLE WITH WATER

Completely fill fairly large bottle
with water, and place it in a sink or
in some other good-sized receptacle.
Find stopper that exactly fits the
mouth of the bottle; put it lightly in
position and strike it an easy, quick
blow with your hand. Repeat the
blow several times if necessary, until
the bottle breaks.
Another way is to use a rubber
stopper with hole in it, into which
you can fit glass rod very tightly.
Moisten the rod with water or with
light oil, so that it will slip easily
through the stopper. Fill the bottle
full of water as before, and with a
twisting motion securely fix the stop
per, in place. Now, if any water
has been spilled out, pour in enough
through the hole in the stopper to fill
the bottle again. Then place the
glass rod in the stopper and with a
quick, light blow force it into the bot
tie. The bottle will break as easily
as it did in the first experiment.

science named Pascal, experimental
with pressures thus applied to liquids,
and discovered the following law: A

PLANTING BULBS INDOORS

At the same time that bulbs are
being planted out of doors, bulbs of
the same and other sorts may be pre-
pared for growth in the house. The
housewife who is to grow flowers in
this latter manner has several possi-
bilities open to her. She may grow
many of the bulbs in soil in window
boxes or pots, in moistened fiber or
moss, or among pebbles, and may
grow hyacinths in water alone.
If soil is selected for the growing
medium, the boxes or pots should be
provided with layer of coarse drain
age material such as pebbles and brok-
en- pots, and then filled with light soil.
Three to five bulbs may be placed
small end up in medium-sized pot,
and should be covered with l inch of
soil. After planting, the box or pot
in which hyacinths or narcissi are
planted should be placed out of doors
and covered with about 4 inches of
ashes or sand. The bulbs so plant
ed should be left out of doors for from
three to six weeks until quantity
of roots have formed. If it is con-
sidered more desirable. the pots or
boxes may be placed in a dark, cool
room or in cellar, without covering,
and left until the bulbs have formed
mat of long roots. If they throw
up sprouts from 2 to 3 inches high
before the roots are formed they have
been kept too warm. The soil must
be kept we'll moistened, but not over
moist. After the root-forming per-
iod is past, the pots or boxes may be
taken to light, moderately warm
room for Towering. If the room is
too warm the stems will be long and
weak. If cool they will be short and
strong and make more attractive
plants.
If the bulbs are to be grown in
bowls of pebbles or moss, or in water,
they should also be set in cellar
for root information to take place be-
fore being taken to the room in which
they are to bloom.
Albums, scillas, and the like need
to be kept in light, warm place from
the time of planting. Tulips are hard
to grow in the house and should not
be attempted except by experienced
plant growers after receiving special
instructions.

Where markets are distant these con-

Of course there are areas in the
northwest where difficulties may be
found in relation to the growing of
stock. One is the securing of pas
ture. The light precipitation is
against the production of pasture.
But the native pastures can be i'm
proved upon. A mixture of brown
grass and alfalfa will produce very
considerable amount of pasture. In
many areas especially in Montana,
are roughlands not distant, and these
may in many instances be utilized.
New settlers may not be able to
erect much fencing at the first, but
this is not true of those who have
been in many years on their lands.
The farmer who has been 10 to 20
years on his farm or even longer,
and wo has practically no fences
on the same, is without excuse.
Should he answer that he is not able
to erect fencing on land that he has
farmed thus long, that answer bears
testimony to the fact that he has been
engaged in the wrong kind Of farm

Luminescent illumination.

There are several substances that be-
come luminescent after long exposure
TO the rays of the sun. although none
of them emits brilliant light. 1t Is
believed that this luminescence could
be greatly increased if the problem
were investigated with as much care
as that given to the development Of
the incandescent gas mantle. 1t has
been suggested that if luminescent
paint were spread on buildings exposed
to brilliant sunshine they would give
off stored sunlight during the night
and thus preserve one element Of the
radiant energy OF the sun. One au-
thority remarks. The general use Of
such a paint would enable the more
powerful methods of artificial illumi-
nation to be limited to special locations
and contine the use Of existing systems
to indoor service and to spots where

LIVE STOCK IN
THE NORTHWEST
BY Prof. Thos. Shaw.

ny fTOI. 1 nos. OnaW.
The opinion is common that live
stock cannot be made profitable in
any form on the farms Of the Ameri-
can northwest, and especially on
those in dry areas without irrigation.
That opinion is not we'll founded,
even as conditions are at present
The dry land farmer can keep some
stock on his farm from the day he
locates on it permanently. He can
start with one or two cows. The
next year these are doubled in num-
Der. He may start with one brood
SOW. The next year he may have all
he can get feed for. He may start
with half dozen hens, the next year
the only limitation to the number is
the ability to provide for them.
Now this can be done by any one
who has permanently located ON his
homestead. The cost of one cow and
one brood SOW and half dozen hens
is not much, nor is the cost of pro-
viding for them. Some fencing will
be called for and some shelter A
shed of poles covered with straw
stack will shelter the cow or cows
until better shelter may be provided.
In actual cash, such shelter may
not involve an outlay Of more than
$1,000. A shelter for the fowls need
hn ~ hn Gvcst nd a
straw stack will provide shelter, for
the brood SOW and her young until
more enduring shelter may be built.
Some fencing will be called for, but
not much at the first, and it may be
extended as the stock increases, such
extension being paid for by proceeds
from the stock.
Why should the homesteader begin
thus? For several reasons. First, it
will go far to provide for the needs
of his own table at the very outset
and will, therefore, greatly lessen his
obligations to the merchants. Sec
ond, it will enable him from the be-
ginning to turn to good account food
that otherwise would be lost, espec-
hally grazing and roughage grown on
she farm. Third, it will enable him
10 turn his crops including even wheat
into meat, milk or eggs when prices
For grain reach very low ebb, as
they did in the late autumn of 1912.
Fourth, they will thus gradually and
easily grow into line of farming that
is mixed in character and, therefore,
safer than any other line of farming.
This does not mean that grain should
not continue to have the lead in the
production sought. When wheat be-
comes so low in price that it sells for
less than 60 cents, it should be turned
into other lines Of production.
Another strong argument in favor
e,f growing lines Of produce other
than grains is found in the saving in
freights When beef is made from
hay and grain. the reduction in

STREET CAR TRAFFIC

New York, Aug 9.-New York has
resumed normal street car traffic after
week of the strike.
Regular schedules began following

employees and traction magnates after

Although traction heads refused to
agree specifically to a recognition Of
the union of Amalgamated Associa-
ticn OF Street and Electrical Railway
Employees of America they conceded
the right OF the men to organize. They
promised to receive committees from
the union.
This was the greatest victory won.
1t is the third victory in the big cities
in a little over a year. The other
triumphs were in Boston and Chicago.
