Maternal Impressions In canari.s.

An interesting contribution 10 the
voluminous literature on the subject
of maternal impressions" is made by
DR.. w. F. Schrader. of Fort Wayne.
Ind, In Clinical Magazine for Decem-
Der, 1919. DIR. Schrader has been breed
ing canaries quite extensively for eight
years. Until last July no crippled or
deformed chick had ever been found
among his nestlings. At that time
daily flights OF an army airplane over
the city invariably threw the birds
into a state Of excitement and terror.
and during this period twelve eggs were
laid. Only seven Of the eggs hatch
ed. and every chick Of the seven was
deformed; three had no anal vents,
two had extra pairs of wings, and two
had twisted legs held at full length
beneath the bodies. The same parent
birds have since raised two broods
each, and there was not single Grip
pied or deformed bird among them -

Maple SUGAR Industry,

In 1919 the maple trees In the prov
ince of Quebec yielded more than 12.-
100000 pounds of sugar and nearly
100000 gallons Of strip. and the esti-
mated value Of these maple products
reached a total of S6396.535 The sap,
one might say, goes on flowing In pack
ages. tins and bottles. and never
more widely than at present. for eight
years ago the woodlands of the prov
ince were contributing 1000, 600 pounds
less of sugar and about 100000 fewer
gallons of strip; one leaves 1t to
some industrious statistician. with
nothing better to do, to estimate the
number OF griddle cakes thus provided
for. or the dimensions of the imaginary
Brobdingnagian griddle cake that
would require all that maple strip at
once.

CAT RAISED FOXES
PuSs Proved Good Foster Mother
to Valuable Cubs.
Fur Farmer Was Afraid TO Take a
Chance, So He Called In Tahby and
the Difficulty Was Solved,
10 His Advantage.

There are perhaps 10 or II Of the IA
nous fur farms Of Alaska. One of
them, situated In the Tannana valley.
a mile and half from Fairbanks, con-
slsts OF ten acres Of cleared land. the
greater part Of which Is covered with
pens In which the animals live. From
a distance the fox farm looks like
huge chicken yard with walls of woven
wire and hencoops Of various sizes In
side Each pen Is 30 feet long, feet
wide and about 10 feet high.
The wire Is Of tough steel and Is
sunk about four feet in the ground,
and then bent so that II runs inward
Under the ground for about two feet
to prevent the foxes from digging out.
At the top the wire has an overhang
OF two feet TO prevent the captlves
from climbing over. Each pen has a
kennel. the entrance to which Is a
chute or wooden pipe a foot square.
Only one pair Of foxes live In each
pen. They are very tlmid and must be
handled carefully. Most OF the fox
farmers will not permit strangers 20
enter their property for fear they win
brighten the animals. Some foxes,
however, become so tame that strangers
can handle them.
The fox babies are the size of kit.
tens, and have long bushy tails, little
sharp noses, and eyes that sparkle like
jet One litter Of foxes was. II IS
said. mothered by a cat. There were
three Of the babies, each of which.
when grown, was worth from $500 70
$1,000. Their mother was so nervous
that the farmer feared she might kin
her young; and so he had them taken
away from her and given to the cat
in place Of her kittens. The cat had
adopted them and played with them
as II they were really her own. For
such emergencies II is necessary to
have cats about n fox farm.
Because he would not pay a high
price for a cat one man In eastern
Canada lost five little foxes that might
have proved worth a small fortune.
The fox mother had died snd the own
er of the only cat In the vicinity de-
cllned to sell her for less than $500.
The unreasonable price angered the
fox farmer and he refused TO pay II.
The foxes are fed with salmon. moose
meat horse meat. rabbits. carrots
and turuips- A common feed Is rice
and rabbit cooked together In stew
One farm feeds 10 rabbits and Is
pounds Of rice day to 50 foxes. The
stew Is given cold morning and eve

kennels. seize the food, carry IT In

TEN PUREBRED HENS
I'M EVERY BACKYARD

Residents of the cities and towns
who have backyard space should keep
a flock of purebred hens.
The writer in travelling throughout
Louisiana has noted hundreds and
hundreds Of homes in the cities and
small towns who have backyard space
sufficiently large enough to accommo-
date a small flock of purebred hens.
This backyard space which is going
to waste could be very easily convert
ed into a paying industry and incl
dentally would decrease the monthly
market bill an appreciable extent.
By keeping backyard poultry
flock the family would not only help
in reducing the high cost of living but
would have eggs of quality and
freshness which are often difficult to
obtain.
Each hen in her pullet year should
produce 10 dozen eggs. The average

INVERTED ANGLING
FROM SUBMARINES

Fishing from inverted lines from the
decks of American submarines is the
newest mast time among members Of
their crews operating in the Pacific
ocean from the Los Angeles subma-
rine base, says the Popular Mechanics
Magazine, in an illustrated article.
The boats make frequent practice trips
between Los Angeles and Santa Cat
alma island. The water in this area
avefages about ninety feet in depth,
and is one Of the finest fishing grounds
of the Pacific coast. Frequently the
boats dive to the bottom, and lie there
with their motors shut off while prac-
ticing submarine signalling, torpedo
tube practice, and the like.
The upside-down fishing is done in a
very simple manner. Prior to making
dive the men arrange their lines on
the deck rails of the submarine. The
hooks are baited, and are strung out
on the decks to be carried upward
when the boat dives by float attach
ed near the hook Since any fish that
takes the bait can not be removed un,
til the boat comes to the surface, the
lines are fastened to the deck rail by
coil springs. This practically elm
mates the chance of losing the fish by
Its breaking the line or tearing the
hook out of its mouth.

CHINESE TASTE FOR FOSSIL
TEETH HINDERS SCIENTISTS

The search for Chinese fossils-so
important because of the growing be-
lief that the human race evolved from
the animal upon the plains Of central
Asia-is hindered most, according to
Popular Mechanic Magazine for Oc-
tober, by the native belief that fossil
teeth have a definite medicinal value.
AS dragons teeth" they are carried in
stock by every Chinese drug store"
Bought here by the ailing native, the
teeth are crushed to a powder and
swallowed, sometimes dry, sometimes
in sour wine. The commercial value
of the article is high, in Consequence,
and the scientists experience the great
est difficulty in learning from the ma
tive the locations of the fossil beds. It
has been found necessary, in fact, to
start a campaign of education with the
object of teaching the Chinese that IN
damaged fossil skulls can be sold for
more money to the foreign geologist
than their shattered fragments will
bring from the local dealer.

UNLoADER EMPTIEs GRAIN
GAR IN TEN MINUTES


Patterning, perhaps, after the car
tippers now in general use for unload
ing coal cars, one American firm has
just brought out monster mechanisms
which unload box car full of grain
in six to ten minutes. These ma
chimes, of which the October Popular
Mechanics Magazine presents a full
page of Illustrations, cnsists essential
" of a rocking platform and tipping
cradle. When the filled car has been
pushed upon the rails Of the cradle,
the operator starts an electrical mo-
tor and so causes two clamps to rise
from between the rails and press tight
ly against the couplers at both ends
of the car. Other motors then push
in the temporary door and tip the car
upon its side. The grain is now flow
ing out of the door and down the hop
per. but as little moves from the ends
of the car, another motor is started
and the car is tilted longitulinally at
an angle of As degrees. first to the
right and then to the left.

SWIMMING BICYCLE CREATES A
NEW WATER SPORT

Though it resembles neither boat
nor a bicycle, a strange water craft
designed by an ingenious pair of Hi
nois inventors and Illustrated in the
october Popular Mechanics Magazine,
is really a combination of the two, and
its use as a bathing-beach adjunct
ushers in a brand-new sport. The buoy
ant mart of the machine consists of two
air-tight metal tanks, one shaped like
the bow of a boat, and the other like
the stern. but with an open space be-
tween them for the operator. The BIZ
cycle frame, braced to these floats,
hangs below in the water. A screw
nropeller at the rear is driven at high
sneed by the usual cranks, geared up
through two sets of sprockets and
chains. The handlebars are replaced
nv an automobile steering wheel, which
through cables from the front forks,
actuates a rudder in the back. With
one Messenger on the deck of the bow
norton and another on the stern,
speed of six miles an hour may be OBJ
tanned and with only one passenger
if is not difficult to pedal through Lake
or stream at the respectable rate o.
eight miles an hour.
