New British Wheats.

Sir Daniel Morris stated at the last
meeting of the British association that
as result of the recent pIant-breed-
ing work done by Biffen, at Cam
bridge, new Wheats have been grown
over extensive areas in eastern Eng
land, yielding crops at the rate of so
to 60 bushels per acre, and even IT
bushels in the case Of one area Of q
acres. The average yield in England
is 80 bushels per acre. Besides being
more productive, the new wheats are
less liable to disease and make better
flour than the ordinary English
wheats. In India, the Pusa wheats,
developed by the Howards, will soon
be grown over an area Of 100000
acres, and are expected to increase
the value of the wheat crop in India
to the extent of $25,0OO,0OO annually.

TRIUMPH FOR AMERICAN SKILL
Successful Method Evolved by Which
Dressed Sealskins May Be Made
Thoroughly PliabIe.

American worlkmen have been sue
cessful, after workmen Of several 9th
er nations failed, in evolving system
of treating sealskins to make them
more valuable.
For many years furriers had desired
a black dye with which to treat seal
skins successfully. The mode had al
ways been brownish luster. First,
the French. announced black dye, but
this dye ruined the fur by causing it
to rapidly disintegrate.
The British then worked out sys-
tenn of dyeing the sealskins black, but
they could not make the skin pliable
and garments made from them were
awkward. The lack Of soft tanning
and the thick leather made it impos-
sible to get the flares and degrees Of
drape desired in garments.
sTOday the Alaskan seal, under the
American method, Is as supple and
may be as easily manipulated as the
kid of ladys glove or a fine piece of
chiffon velvet. 1t is not an exaggera-
tion to say that an entire dressed skin
can be drawn through a small napkin
ring. The credit for the flexibility is
due to the machinery and process in

Funsten st. Louis methodist. Louis

ELDERLY MAN GOOD WALKER
Brooklyn Citizen, Fond of Pedestrian
Ism, Has Record That Few Are
Likely to Equal.

Garret Brewer Of this city walked
1000 miles when he was ninety years
old. He is now ninety-seven years old
and for the past three years he has
given up walking as regular occu-
patton. But for about IL years before
that he walked persistently, in Bad
weather and good, on week days and
holidays. And this at time when
he had long passed beyond the three
score and ten years supposed to. be
mnn's allotted span of life.
He used to walk with pedometer
at his belt as his only companion.
From his former home on Willough-
by avenue he would walk out to the
Williamsburg bridge and across to
Manhattan. This not appearing long
enough for grownup man, he often
would walk back to the Brooklyn end
OF the bridge and then cross and re-
cross the bridge two or three times
before starting home. In his diary he
kept record of the distances COW
cred on these expeditions. They va
ried from month to month; but seven
years ago, when he had reached the
age of ninety, his walks still averaged
six miles day. Being now close to
the century mark, he has discontinued
walking out of doors. "A friend bor-
rowed by pedometer." he explained
with a laugh.-Brooklyn Eagle.

ZINC STENCILS FOUND BEST
Material Has Many Advantages Over
Any Other Used in the Making
of Those Articles.

Zinc is being introduced and made
rather extensive use of at the present
time In the manufacture of stencils,
as a substitute for other metals and
paper. Not only is zinc the only mate
rial that does not stretch and buckle
IN continuous use, but it has several
other important advantages.
The cutting and making of paper
stencils involves the same skilled
work as h stencil made of zinc, and a
zinc stencil will reproduce ten thou
sand copies Zinc retains its fiat shape
indefinitely. Another feature that
recommends zines use is the low cost
Of producing the finished stencil, the
metal possessing qualities that permit
stamping as many as one thousand
stencils in one operation.
When the manufacturer realizes the
economy and value of zinc stencils as
compared with others it will mean
vastly increased demand for that
metal. Stencils form the background
Of almost every manufactured article
from laces to showcases.
Negotiations now are being carried
on to supply japanese producers with
zinc stencils for use in stamping silk
designs to replace the slower and more
expensive hand methods now in vogue.

|0YSTERS MAY BE
PLANTED LIKE ONIONS


West Sayville. N. Y, Sept. 6.-Pro-
pagation of young oysters all ready
to set OUT guaranteed to multiply
with proper care into hourishing
brood, may result from experiments
just concluded by w. r. Wells, of the
New York Conservation Commits
sion, who today reported on his ex-
tensive study Of oyster breeding
Mr.. Wells, at his laboratory on the
shore OF the Great South Bay. has
succeeded IN keeping alive millions
of young oysters from the larvae to
the set" stage. In his report he said
that hatcheries modelled after his
plant can be built wherein the oy-
sters may be incubated until time to
set them out In deep waters.
His method of developing oyster
"sets" from oyster seed, or spawn,
removes one of the chief obstacles in
the commercial propagation of oy-
sters, Mr.. Wells said.
The seeds are so small he ex-
planned, sfrom the time they are laid
by the oyster until they are mature
enough to attach themselves to a sur
face in sets, that experimenters have
had the greatest difficulty in devising
a practicable commercial method of
keeping the tiny shellfish supplied
with fresh supply of salt water and
food without washing them all down
the drain.
when the oysters reach the set
stage they can safely be put in the
beds to fend for themselves. After
that time the oyster grows very rap
idly for period of some weeks and
gains full maturity within three OF
four years
One of the chief obstacles, that of
handling the larvae, or tiny eggs
while changing their water, the re
port says, was overcome by the use
of centrifugal machine, which con-
lcentrates the eggs in a small recep-
ltacle. The Matching apparatus was
made of a series of large inverted
glass carboys, fitted with tubes which
permitted a fresh supply of salt wa
ater and air to percolate so gradually
that the development of the eggs
was not retarded. Microscopic ex.
amination is necessary in following
the gradual development of the eggs
to the set stage.
/ Mr.. Wells declared it is a well
known fact that in the last 10 year,
the production Of oysters has beer
VERY much reduced. 1t was to deter
mine the exact cause of this reduc
tion, he said. that his studies werl
undertaken It has been suggested
he said. THAT pollution of the water,
has injured many of the most pro
ductive beds in Connecticut and il
the vicinity Of New York.

NEW YORK STORE
ADOPTS NOVEL IDEA

New York, Sept. 6.-The republi-
can form of government for employees,
in certain industrial plants
throughout the country, has been
adopted by large New York depart
ment store.
Employees of this store. numbering
1900, has a voice in virtually all mat
ters affecting their relations with the
management, through elective bodies
modelled after the bicameral system
of representation prevailing in the
government of the United States.
The employees elect members of
their house of Representatives and
senate directly, while the executive
department, consisting of cabinet
of five, is named by the corporation
officials. The judiciary functions are
carried out by a joint justice commit
tee from the legislative bodies. All
branches of the store government
derive their powers from a constitu-
tion somewhat similar to the consti-
tuition of the nation
The fixing of wage scales and work
ing conditions are included lin the
broad powers of the house and SEN
ate, while the justice committee may
bring about the expulsion of an em-
ploye from the concern. or if they find
a worker has been unjustly discharg-
ed, they can have him reinstated. The
acts of the legislature may be vetoed
by the cabinet, but this has not been
necessary as yet, it was said by an
official of the concern.
