NEsTEo IN TOWER TWENTY YEARS.

There is an old English sparrow that has
nested In the caves at Tower {, at East Somer-
Vile baltimore and Maryland yards). for the
last 20 years.
Fifteen years ago he was caught and marked
with a band Of silver wire just to see how long
he would live.
A new tower is being built at Tower c, and
as the new tower is of brick and so constructed
there is no nesting place in the caves. and when
the old tower Is torn down the old sparrow will
be deprived of a home.
Consequently one of the towermen caught the
old sparrow Che is very tame), and took him to
Wakefield and kept him in the garage several
days. thinking he would nest there.
But when he was let out he made a Decline for
Tower c at East SomerviIle, and has been there
ever since.
Perhaps. after all. he can find a place to
squeeze in at the new brick tower when his old
home Is torn own.-Bos Globe.

APPLE TIME.

The crisp, frosty days of autumn are a sure
indication that the apple season is in full swing.
Those who can pick the fruit are fortunate, for
the apple fresh from the tree, at this time of
the year, is unrivaled in flavor and temptingly
tart and juicy. But the privilege of gathering
apples is no longer limited TO those who live in
the country. for nowadays many families who
own cars avail themselves of the opportunity of
motoring TO the suburbs, where they may either
gather a generous supply from unclaimed trees,
or purchase the privilege of picking better va
rieties from the orchard of some thrifty farmer.
After n few Of these trips the housewife will find
that she has obtained enough apples to supply
her family with u variety of preparations for the
winters use. So many things may be done with
apples that one becomes enthusiastic at the
thought; they may be canned, dried or made into
fruit buffers and jellies. fruit strip and fruit
leather. Even the pulp which remains may be
fed to the cattle, hogs ar sheep, so there is no
waste whatever in the whole process.-Christian
Science Monitor.

remarked: MACK is tamping n charge and we'd

he would have done had he been watching Mack,
and it is quite evident that he did not realize that
the sound was coming through 300 feet of coal.
otherwise he would not have given the warning.
Observations were made recently of a mine fire
burning from 20 to 40 feet below the surface. A
low rumbling noise could be heard as If air were
being drawn in along creyices, and occasionally
sounds could be heard from the swapping and
falling of pieces of coal or rock. AS well as can

but owing to the fact that the fire could not be
approached from inside, the data could not be
checked absolutely. 1t is interesting TO note that
similar sounds could he heard from only one point
on the inside of the mine and that POINT was the
one nearest the area as located on the surface.
In addition to the uses enumerated, an engineer
of the bureau has discovered that the instruments
can be employed advantageously In locating
knocks in automobile valves and cylinders. For
this purpose 1t is best TO mount the instrument on
n short iron rod that can be easily inserted In the
machinery. Not only can n troublesome cylinder
be located in this manner, but the trouble area
IN the cylinder also can be found.
