.FIoWer OF the Devil"

"Flower Of the Devil" Is a strange
growth upon trees found on the sides
of Fuego volcano In Guatemala, one
OF the few places in the world where
1t Is known 10 occur. II has beautiful
foliatlon. veining and stem. and appears
full blown when just unfolding from
the bud. This effect is formed by
parasite which enters the wood and
dies after eating portions of 1t away,
process which in time produces the
results described. Tradition. however,
ascrlbes different origin. Years ago,
when the Spaniard ruled the country
fair Indian maiden was supposed
to have betrayed certain tribal Sc
crets to her white lover. Her people
threw her into the fiery water Of Fuego
in eXplation Of her sin, and once every
year, on Midsummers day, she ap-
pears to throw armfuls of the DEVILS

Woodpeck.r a "Home Bird"

Among the natural guardians of the
trees are the woodpeckers, which
gather their food as they creep round
the trunks and branches. AS the food
Of the woodpecker is nearly as abund.
ant In winter as in summer. they are
seldom migratory. They never forage
In flocks. like some of The granivorous
birds whose food is more plentiful,
but scatter out over wide areas, and
thus better their fare. They bear the
same relation to other birds that take
their food from trees as snipes and
woodcocks bear to thrushes and
qualls-that Is. they bore into the
wood as the snipe bores into the
earth, while thrushes and quails seek
their sustenance on the surface OF
the ground.

Submarine Radio.

The last annual report Of the bu-
reau OF standards states that members
OF the bureaus staff have developed
very successful methods Of communi-
eating with submerged submarines by
autobiography. With single-turn
coil or loop attached to ne outside Of
the submarine, signals can be received
as well when the vessel is submerged
as when It is at the surface. 1t Is
also possible to transmit from a SUBJ
merged submarine distance Of IL
miles. Thus 1t becomes possible for
a ship and submarine to exchange
recognition signals. A coll aerial Is
a satisfactory direction finder when
submerged ane readily receives signals
transmitted thousands Of miles, just
the same as when used In the air. The
navy has equipped Its larger srbma'
rines with this apparatus.-Scientifc

time, this apparently has not been
found true In practice.
Four.horse Teams Preferred.
The greater number of four-horse
teams and even some fye-horse teams
on l4-lnch sulky plows for fall plow-
Ing IL accounted for by the fact that
plowing in the fall Is usually about one
inch deeper than In the spring, and
also by the fact that the ground Is gen
orally dry and hard to turn. On an
average, outfits of the same size cover
about II half acre less per day In the
fall than In the spring due not only
TO the more difficult conditions men
toned above. but also to the fact that
the time spent In the field is about two
thirds Of an hour less per day In the
fall.
As Is the case In spring blowing the
l4-inch pillow seems to cover practi-
cally as much ground per day as the
l6-lnch size, provided both are drawn
by the same number Of horses. The
addition OF the fourth horse increases
the efficiency of the unit by about 10
per cent and the addition Of the fifth
horse to the 1G-inch plow results In
a similar Increase. Excepting under
favorable conditions, a sulky plOw
seems to be somewhat Of en- overload
for three horses Of the size and type
used on these farms,
Many Gang Plows Used.
Over 450 men reported using horse
drawn gang plows on their farms.
About so per cent Of these plows have
14-inch bottoms. Most Of the remain
Ing plows have 12-Inch bottoms. Some
plows with 13-inch bottoms were re-
ported, but the number was so small
that no figures on their performance
are given. Over three-fourths Of the
men who use gang plows also reported
the use Of sulky plows.
A comparison OF an average days
work for lG-lnch sulky plows and 2S-
inch gang plows shows that so far az
horse labor Is concerned the gang plow
drawn by four horses Is the most eff
Client unit In both spring and fall. In
the spring this outfit covers one and a
quarter acres per day per horse, while
both the sulky plow drawn by three
horses and the gang plow drawn by five
; horses cover one acre per day per
horse. Tie gang plow drawn by six
horses covers but nine.tenths Of an
acre per horse.
In the fall four horses with the gang
plow cover l.02 acres per horse, while
three horses on the sulky plow ant
five horses on the gang plow cover sc
acre and .9l acre per horse, respec
