Fifteen years ago he was caught and marked
with band of silver wire just to see how long
he would live.
A tower Is being built at Tower G. and
the tower is of brick and so constructed
there is nesting place in the caves and when
the old tower is torn down the old sparrow will
be deprived of a home.
Consequently of the towermen caught th.
old sparrow Che is very tame), and took him to

days, thinking he would nest there

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 unrvaled 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
avail themselves of the opportunity of
motoring to the suburbs where they may either
gather generous supply from unclaimed trees.
purchase the privilege of picking better
retiNs from the orchard of some thrifty farmer.
After few of these trips the housewife will find
that she has obtained enough apples to supply
her family with variety of preparations for the
winters So many things may be done with
apples that becomes enthusiastic at the
thought; they may be canned, dried made into
fruir buffers and jees. fruit sirup and fruit

1t is also thought the instruments will be OF
great value in preventing accidents from expo-
sions when breaking through. In this connection
an interesting incident happened recently. Obser-
vations were being made at tunnel heading. The
pit boss happened along and asked to be allowed
to listen. He put the earpieces in his ears and
remarked: Mack is tamping charge and we'd
better move away" He spoke as naturally as
he would have done had he been watching Mack.

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 crevces, and occasionally
sounds could be heard from the swapping ana
falling of pieces of coal rock AS well as can
be determined the fire was accurately Located
but owing to the fact that the fire could not be
roached from inside, the data could not be
checked absolutely. 1t is interesting to note thar
similar sounds could be heard from only one point
on the inside of the mine and that point was the
one nearest the located on the surface.
In addition to the uses enumerated an engineer
of the bureau has discovered that the instruments
can be employed advantageousy in locating
knocks in automobile valves and cylinders. For
this purpose 1t is best to mount the instrument on
