HOW ANIMALS FEED.

Man is the only animal that has teeth
ncisors, CANNES and molars-of an equal
height. Man, the ape and nearly all rumi-
nants have thrty-two teeth. The hog, how
ever, is better off than this and has forty
four, so have the opossum and the mole
The river dolphin of South America has far
beyond this, however, having no less than
two hundred and twenty-five teeth. Teeth
are not part of the skeleton but belong TO
the appendages, like skin and harr. The stur-
geon is toothless, and draws in its food by
suction, but the shark has hundreds of teeth
set in rows that sometimes number ten
Lobster and crabs masticate their food with
their horny jaws, but they have a set Of
teeth in their stomachs, where they complete
the work of chewing. But there is one pc
cuar kind Of crab, called the king or horse
shoe crab which chews its food with its legs
This is an actual fact, the little animal grind
ng its morsels between its thighs before it
passes them over to its mouth.
The iey-fish absorbs its food by wrapping
itself around the object il seeks 70 make its
own The starfish is even more accommo-
dating Fastening itself to the body 1t wishes
TO feed on, il turns It's stomach inside out
and enwraps It's prey with this useful organ
Dogs seize their food with their paws cats
with their feet. and so do monkeys, some of
them pressing their prehensible tails into SER
vice.
The squirrel uses It's paws to carry It's tood
10 its mouth and the elephant its trunk;
the giraffe ant-eater and toad their tongues.
spiders chew their food with their horny
avs. which are sharp enough 10 give quite
nip. Grasshoppers and locusts are very well
provided with the necessary machinery Tor
eating much and often. They have sawlike
laws and gizzard, too, the latter being fitted
out with horny teeth.
Frogs have teeth in their upper Jaws only.
Ante-eaters sloths and armadilloes have no
teeth The lion and tiger and, indeed, most
of the carnivora do not grind their food, US
ing the laws only up and down, the molars
acting like chopping knives, or, rather, scis-
sors Their mouths, in fact are veritable
hash mills.

THE PETROLEUM INDUSTRY IN TEXAS.

The Petroleum industry is rapidly becoming
enc Of the leading industries Of Texas About
fifty new refneres are 20 be built and are
building and hundreds Of well known oil
firms from all over the United States are es-
tablishing offices in Fort Worth. The Texas
OIL fields are undoubtedly among the largest in
the world and it viii require many years TO
fully develop them Laboratory work can
hardly keep pace with this development and
in order to better take care of the Texas pet
roleum business in all its scientific branches,
the Fort Worth Laboratories have moved TO
new quarters at S2Sls Monroe Street. thereby
increasing its floor space TO 5000 square feet
and adding many news and expensive instru-
ments to an already well equipped laboratory

WOODEN CANNON ARE STILL USEFUL.

Any one familiar with modern weapons Of
war and the high explosives used in them
would naturally suppose a wooden cannon Of
little or no use.
Wooden cannons have been used with con-
siderable success in Cuba Hayt and the Dom
inican republic
The wood used is very tough. having a
twisted grain that curls about the log in such
way that 10 split the timber with the ordinary
means is almost impossible.
The best trees are selected and piece OF
the log five or six feet in length and about
enc foot in diameter is cut. After the bark
has been removed and the log made perfectly
round. il is swung up on crude truss and
a hole is burned into it from one end The
log is wound with fresh rawhide which
shrinks and hardens When the cannon is
covered another layer is wound on after GER
tain treatment. and this is continued until
the weapon has increased several inches in
diameter.
Then the weapon is treated 10 hot blast
which tends further to contract the hide bind
ing until il becomes almost as strong wire.
These crude cannon have been employed
with effect in number of instances, and il
is astonishing. so il is said. how many times
they can be fired before they burst or are
otherwise disabled

PRESS FOOD OIL
FROM GRAPE SEED

From the grape, source Of wine now
under a ban extra dry, is being de-
rived a new food oil. 1t is pressed
from the seeds which formerly were
discarded. This recently discovered
by-product has been tested by scien-
lists who say that it is edible and nu-
tritious and may become rival of
olive and .cottonseed oils for cooking
and for salad dressing. The news has
given comfort to growers of the vine
in California, Ohio and New York
State, as the preparation OF the oil
on a large scale may increase the
profits from grape juice. Even after
the oil has been pressed out the resi-
due of the seeds is found to be OF
value as feed for animals.
DR.. ]. II. Shrader. who is connected
with the Bureau of Plant Industry. of
the United States Department OF Ag-
riculture. has made extensive investi-
cations in the commercial utilization
of grape seed In paper read be-
fore the Division of Industrial Chem
lists and Chemical Engineers. Of the
American Chemical Society. he sug-
gested that all waste of this charac-
ter from the vineyards and canneries
be assembled at a center. so that
there will be enough tonnage to make
its fabrication profitable.
Use Cider Press.
I'm the grape juice industry" he
says. 'thc grapes are pressed in ordi-
nary cider presses to obtain the juice.
The skins, seeds and pulp remain be-
hind in the cloths. The total tonnage
of grapes pressed for juice in~the
grape belts OF New York, Ohio and
Michigan, was ascertained directly
from the firms for each OF the past
five years in order to strike a fair
average. From these figures POM
ace yield of2o per cent was calculated
which in turn yielded one-quarter
seed, one-quarter dry skins and one
half water.

Because OF the shortness OF the
erape-juice pressing season which
lasts from September to November,
this well-known agricultural chemist
has estimated on a plant only large
enough to dry the maximum amount
of seed and then press IL in winter
months. He calculates that a charge
