PROUD OF OLD CLOCK TOWER
Citizens Of Halifax Cherish Building
Which Was Erected by the Fa-
ther of Queen Victoria.

Halifax, N. S., the chief British mil
itary and naval station In America, is
one of the most strongly fortified in the
world. The citadel, It's chief fortress,
pronounced by engineers the most
formidable In America, occupies COM
handing eminence overlooking the city
and harbor. The citadel was begun
about 1913, under the supervision of
the duke of Kent, father of Queen Vic
toria, and was completed In 1914. At
the time the fertilization was begun
the duke was governor of Nova SEQ
tia and commander in chief Of the
British forces in America. The cita-
del was named by him in honor of his
father, George III. king Of Great Brit
ain.
The duke Of Kent left other remind
ers of his residence in Halifax, among
them the quaint old clock tower and
clock at the foot Of Garrison hill and
opposite to the main entrance of Fort
George. The clock in the tower, which
was brought from England, and is still
keeping excellent time, was the gift
of George III.
Though quaint and somewhat crude
in appearance, and suffering by contrast
with the more modern structures In its
vicinity, the old tower and clock are
still cherished with pride by the citi-
zens of Halifax as a reminder Of the
residence among them Of one who
would himself have been king Of Eng
land had he lived long enough.

NOT INVENTOR OF cAMERl
Honor That Has Been Given by Many
to Distinguished italian Seems to
Be Undeserved.

Because in the year 1869 Glambat-
tista de la Porta, in his book on
natural magic" gives description of
the camera obscura the invention of
that instrument is ascribed generally
to him. 1t is claimed for him that he
not only used lens but an inclined
mirror as well, thus anticipating by
hundreds of years cameras of reflex
order. 1t is not, however, to be imag-
ined that his instrument was of the
portable kind. Rather was 1t a dark
chamber in which an image of the out
door-scene was thrown upon a whit
ened wall, through the medium of a
small hole on the opposite side.
1t is not at all unlikely that Porta
was simply the recorder Of phenom-
enon known to others than himself,
but not by them reduced to writing.
There was one distinguished individual.
at all events, who had observed the
same optical effect, thus anticipating
Porta by some years. 1t was about
the beginning Of the sixteenth century
that Leonardo da Vinci said, 'If you
will place yourself In an Theoretically
closed room facing a building, a land
scape, or any other object directly
lighted by the sun, and then cut hole
in the shutter, an image of the object
outside will be thrown upon any sur
face facing the hole, and 1t will be re
versed Qnverted)."

Blind persons, who have been born
blind, are, as is well known, exceeding
ly clever with their fingers, but 1t is
not often one hears of matchmaker
who was born blind, and yet there have
been instances of the kind. One ia
nous watchmaker's name was Rippin,
and, although completely blind, he
could take to pieces and put together
again watches of the most delicate
construction with the greatest ease
and in quicker time than most watch
makers who have the advantage of
good eyesight. On one occasion some
of the tiny wheels and screws used in
his trGGe were stolen from him, but
the thief was captured with the prop
erty on his person, and Rippin identi-
fled it by his delicate sense of touch.
Another watch and clockmaker brought
up his blind son to his trade, and he
proved so skillful that on more than
one occasion he detected faults in time
pieces which other tradesmen had
failed to discover.

PEANUT PUT TO MANY USES
Nutritious OIL and PaIatabIe Butter
Derived From the Humble "Goob-
err" Beloved of Childhood.

The peanut isn't a nut at all, but
a member OF. the pea, bean and clover
family. 1t is legume and gathers
nitrogen from the air. Peanuts do not
grow from roots but on shoots which
grow out from the plant above ground,
bear little sterile yellow blossom and
then shoot directly into the ground,
where they peg" that is, where pea
nuts begin to grow on them. The pea
nuts are pulled from the vines or roots,
and the roots are then plowed back
into the ground to allow the nitrogen
to feed the soil. The peanuts are then
taken to peanut factories. In these
buildings the peanuts are cleaned and
sorted. The largest are saved and put
through a rumbler, which polishes the
shells. These are sold In the shells.
Other first grades are shelled and sold
for sailing; and one big packing COM
pany buys only first grades for peanut
butter.
II the peanuts are pulled roots and
all, the peanuts are dried out by stack
ing on poles, then pulled off and sold.
Broken peanuts are pressed and the oil
extracted. Much of this oil is sold as
'pure olive oil" In fact, it is quite
as rich and nutritious as olive oil. The
refuse is pressed into cakes and sold
as oil cakes for feeding stock and
especially dairy cows.-St Nicholas.

Purpose in Her Soma.

Betty was spending the summer at
Aunt Hates, where Mary, the eldest
daughter, was her special favorite.
When Mary announced one day that
she was going away for visit Betty
was quite inconsolable, and as the time
drew near for her departure she went
about looking sad and doleful How
ever, just as the car drove up to the
door to take Mary to the station Betty
began to sing at the top of her voice.
Mary turned laughingly to her and
said, 81 don't believe you feel so very
bad, after all, that l am going away,
If you can sing like that" Said Betty,
in the most pathetic way, Use just
singing to keep the tears away"
Mendelssohn was a head worker
in composition, in spite of the long
time he spent over bringing such works
as the Scotch and Italian symphonies,
some of the overtures, and st. Paul
as near as possible to his ideals of
them. His friend, Edward Devrient,
tells us that it was Mendelssohn's
habit not to write down his compost
tons until he had quite finished them
in his head, and afterwards had play
ed them to his most intimate friends.

MIND SUPREME OVER PAIN
Notable Instances When Agony Was

Of the Power Of the Will

1t IL said that even the most acute
physical pain can be overcome by
determined effort of the will.
DR.. Edward h. Clarke suffered from
fatal malady. which produced tho
most agonizing pain; and yet he could
determinately withdraw his conscious
ness, SO to speak, from that pain by
fixing 1t upon another object, that OBJ
1ect being the working out of his own

sition of book.
This is well known to have been
the case also with regard to Sir Wal

and painful Illness, dictated the bride

able fact about the composition Of this
work was that, after his recovery, he
entirely forgot all that he had done.

him; but of the working up of this
story into the novel, while he lay on

The origin of ''hogmanay," which
used to be so dear to the youth of Scot
land, ay, and to the aud folks, too,
has given rise to endless discussion.
The following correspondence has APP
peared in the Scotsman as to the
origin of the custom and the name:
"The derivation Hagia-mene, the
holy moon, has been suggested, the
period of which correspondent to our
December. Some, with considerable
FEASIBILITY, derive it from the Latin,
Hoe in Ammo, persuasive to charity
which reminded well-to-do patrons that
the year had all but run its course, but
that there was still time to relieve
their needy supplicants. 1t is not i'm
probable that the term is of 1eutonic
origin. 1t may be connected with
Hoegtid, name applied to Christmas
and (or) other festivities, Hoeg-tide
day would thus mean the laettissimus
dies, or gladdest season of the year."

the overshot and swing-arOund being
the most common. Homemade stack
ers are of various kinds, such as "gin-
poles" derrick stackers of different
kinds, and inclines for handling hay
from the large one-ton push rakes.
The push rake and stacker make an
admirable combination, since nearly
all of the work of getting the hay from
the field to the stack is done by horse
power. The push rake takes the hay
from the windrow or bunch to the
stack, where it is dropped on the
stacker and elevated onto the stack
by horses.
These implements can be used with
small crews, consisting of two men, up
to crews of twelve or more men.
BaIing Hay in the Field.
In system four the hay is baled in
the field and push rakes and a power
press are used.
The practice of baling in the field
from the windrow began in the semi
arid middle West, where there is but
little danger of rain interfering. 1t
has long been believed that hay is not
in condition to be baled until it has
gone through the "sweat" In the barn
or stack. This process Is usually fin
ished from three to six weeks from the
time the hay is made.
In the West, growers of prairie and
alfalfa hay for the market realized
that if it were possible to bale hay
from the windrow a considerable saw
ing of time and labor could be made.
This saving would consist of a large
part of the cost of putting the hay
into the stack. They also began to
doubt the necessity of allowing the
hay to go through the ''sweat" before
it could be safely baled. Repeated tri-
ais and careful study have shown that
good quality of hay can be made
when baled from the windrow under
certain conditions. At the present
time hay is being baled from the cock
in parts Of the South.
Conditions Should Be Right.
Hay baled from the windrow often
spoils so badly that it becomes unfit
for feeding. This trouble is some
times experienced by beginners and
more especially when alfalfa or other
legume hay is baled. There are three
causes for this. First, the hay will
not keep unless it is well cured in the
field, it being necessary to cure it out
more thoroughly than when it is to be
put into the stack. Second, hay that
is baled when partly wet with dew or
rain is very liable to spoil. Third, hay
is liable to spoil when the bales are
improperly stored by being packed
away close together. In many cases if
the bales are placed on edge with an
air space of an inch or two between,
and the next layer placed crosswise
with spaces there will be much less
danger of heating and spelling.

The great water lily of the botanic

beneath the water of its tank.
How the lily vanishes and is re-
produced is explained by Mr. North,
the curator. The thick root stock
gradually rots away and the fruits,
which are about the size of baseball,
remain at the bottom OF the tank.
They are fished up in the spring and
the seeds are extracted A single seed,
