Find New Use for

Hppetizer for LiUe Stock
Bored With Old Diet.

WASHINGTON.-Live stock bored

Aave been presented by science with

experiments at the University Of
California disclose that ground
prmes, added to hay, add both Gap
peal and nourishment.
ANY increase in demand for IN
Gle Sans prune crop would be well
cerne news to growers" says the
National Geographic society. "Many
tons Of plums that might have be-
come prunes were left unharvested
IN 1898 because Of low prices.
Turning smooth-faced plums into
wrinkled prunes is a beauty-process-
m-reverse that has become In re-
cent years big business in the Unit
ed States. In 1898, the prune-grow-
ing states OF. the Pacific coast, where
the industry centers, produced APP
proximately 237 900 tons of this dried
fruit. The preceding year, when the
rest; Of the world had disappointing
prune crops, the United States again
reported a slightly better than av-
erage yield.
''Prunes are not made from just
any species of plum selected to lose
through curing and drying-what
beauty parlors call the firm con-
tour Only special varieties, sweet
and solid, will cure, instead of spoil,
under the processes of dipping, rims
ing, grading and sun-drying through
which the fruit must pass from the
time it is picked, thoroughly ripe,
until it is packed for transport.
LESS than so years ago Uncle
Sam was big prune importer, buy
ing them at the rate of some Co.
00O. 900 pounds year. Today, ow-
ing to West Coast plum orchards,
the United States annually sells
abroad nearly four times that
amount. The first big plum orchard
was not planted in America until
1870"

Cold Leads i'm
Mining Revival
New Production Peak for
Precious Ores This Year
Possible.

DENVER.-Gold led a mining re-
vival which began in Colorado in
1887 and continued through 1888
near boom proportions, the state
bureau Of mines has revealed.
While production of most miner
ais showed a substantial gain over
1887, the upswing was paced by
gold. More than SOC, 900 tons of high
grade ore valued at $5,000, 900 were
produced in the state during 1888.
The rise in gold production was
noted particularly in the Cripple
Greek district and 1.-THE Little King
dom of Gilpin," where during the
days Of the famous Central City
boom, miners claimed to have dis
covered the richest square mile OF
earth in the world"
More than 5000 Working.
J. P. Joyce, state mining commits
sioner, said that more than $1,000
hard rock miners were employed In
the Cripple Creek area during 1888.
The gold boom also was felt In
Boulder and Clear Creek counties,
where new territory is being de-
veloped. Rich strikes were report
ed in regions heretofore untouched.
Mining activity reached peak at
Climax, where the worlds greatest
molybdenum mine produced an
average of $4,000 tons of ore daily.
Prosperity in this field was reflected
when the Climax Molybdenum
company declared Christmas div
idend of S3,270,0 900. The mine is the
only one of its kind in the state.
New High Probable.
Joyce said that if tentative plans
to reopen flooded workings in the
Leadville district materialized silver
and gold production in Colorado
would reach new high this year.
The mining commissioner said a
move was under way to obtain PWA
funds in 1889 to aid in draining
these mines, once the greatest silver
producers In the nation. It was at
two-mile-high Leadville that H. A.
w. C'Silver Dollar''). Tabor made
his wealth
The most pessimistic note in the
1888 production figures was the drop
of nearly $500, 900 tons in the pro-
duction of coal. The reduction was
blamed chiefly on dwindling mar
ket.
Joyce said that figures showed
large output of limestone, mica,
gypsum, granite, freclay, building
stone and cement.

Early Communication

On February IA, 1889, Oregon was
admitted to the Union by act of con-
gress. News of this action was ca
gerly looked for in Oregon, and par
ticularly in Salem, which was TO be
the capital of the new state. It
did not reach there, however, until
% days after the passage Of the act.
The news was transmitted to St.
Louis by telegraph and was carried
from there by Overland mail to San
Francisco, arriving on March 10. Il
was conveyed by steamer to Ore
gon City, reaching there on March
Is. Late the same day the long
awaited news was carried by a
mounted messenger into Salem,
where its arrival was enthusiast
cally acclaimed. Thus four distinct
methods of communication had been
employed in relaying the news
across the continent to its destina-
ton.

Freezes Gasoline as
Preventive Against Fire

NEW YORK.-Assen Jordanoff,
transport fiier and engineer, an
nounced new and sensational
method of reducing the fire hazard
of aviation. Jordanoff freezes"
aviation gasoline at a temperature
of 100 degrees below zero cent?
grade in dry ice and alcohol cool
ing mechanism built around a
planes gasoline tanks. AS it passes
into the motor it is heated to nor
NAL temperature by another special
mechanism.
Jordanof said the frozen gaso-
line," which remains liquid, loses
its flash" because of low temporal
ture. He aimed a flaming blow
torch into a pail of it and it merely
extinguished the fire. Holding the
fame above the gasoline it required
Is seconds before the gas caught ON
fire.
Frozen gasoline" he said, would
eliminate explosions in the crash
of planes or the ignition of fuel
tanks by incendiary bullets in mill
tary aircraft. He said It would be
an advantage in airplanes flying
through electrical storms or in
cases where it became necessary
to dump gasoline.
Jordanoff conducted his tests In
a fiedgling biplane with a special
license from the Civil Aeronautics
authority. The added mechanical
. equipment weighs about 100 pounds
and could be installed easily in any
plane, he said.

University Foundations
For Support Of Students

A fellowship is a university foun-
dalton designed for the support Of
students. The institution ARISE IN
the Middle ages and originally was
nothing more than q charitable
foundation to defray the cost Of lodg-
ing and board for needy students.
At a later period IL was generally
granted after tests Of fitness.
In the English universities, where
the fellowship system attained its
greatest development, the fellows
were at first undergraduates, but
gradually came to be chosen from
those already holding the university
degree. In American universities
fellowships are regularly distinc-
tons conferred to enable stu0ents
to pursue advanced graduate work
as distinguished from scholarships,
though the term scholarship = occa-
sionally used In this sense. They
are usually endowed by private do
nors and produce incomes varying
in amounts, tenabIe for terms Of
one to three years, states a writer
IN the Indianapolis News. They are
usually open to the graduates Of
other colleges, and are assigned
either on competitive examination
or as an honorary distinction. Hold
ers are generally expected 70 pursue
their studies at the institution con-
ferring the fellowship and to per
form certain duties. In some cases
holders may be permitted to study
at other Institutions, and some fell
lowships are specifically intended
for work IN foreign schools.
The number of endowed graduate
fellowships has rapidly increased.
Some universities offer a definite
number of special fellowships, and
a number of indeterminate fellow
ships, depending on the standing and
number of applicants.

Deer Guided by Sense of Smell

The deer, like most wild animals,
lives in world where he is guided
largely by sense of smell. It is
not a special sense, but highly de-
veloped, according to the American
Wildlife institute. Deer blaze their
trails through scent secreting
glands, above the hooks on his hind
legs. When these glands are re-
moved, the deer thus handicapped
is easily lost. The mule deer, which
has q high bounding gait in running
and consequently covers great
stretches Of ground IN one lap, has
scent-secreting glands about six
times as large and potent as the
Virginia deer The Virginia deer is
on the ground. more. so. does not
need to- leave SO powerful scent
each time he touches the ground.

Cock Of the Rock Clever
Dancer IN Native Haunts

In the dense forests of South
America through which flow the
Amazon river and its tributaries,
lives the cock Of the rock, according
to naturalists who have described
him, the most beautiful bird IN the
world. He is glorious creature, in
coat of bright orange. black-tipped
wings and tail, and. a marvellous
double crest which runs backward
from the tip of his bill, over the
top Of his head, like the ridge of a
helmet.
To see them dance, relates writ
er in the Michigan Farmer, you
must peep through the underbrush
in the dense shadows. II you are
fortunate. you may see a score of
birds IN natural amphitheater,
the spectators gathered on bushes
surrounding an open space in the
center-the stage.
Here this radiant, feathered actor
takes his place, and his solo dance
begins. With lowered wings, and
outspread, pumping tail, he walks
round and round the stage, scratch
ing the ground and springing into
the air-the spectators in the bushes,
meanwhile, giving every evidence of
keen enjoyment Of his act.
When he is tired, he joins the
spectators, while another male
takes his place on the stage. No
body knows how long the dancing
continues-probably until every
young brave has done his stunt.
The show is all put on for the
benefit of the shy little females, de-
mure and brown, with small crests,
only suggestions of the gorgeous
ones of their mates.
The nest of the cock of the rock
is like robins nest, but clings to
the face of a boulder, hence the
hancock of the rock.

Clover Seed From Italy
,Swells Dairy Profits

AMHERST, MASS.-Ladino clo-
yer, imported from Italy, is in
creasing profits of Massachusetts
dairymen, according to Ralph W..
Donaldson, Massachusetts State col
lege soils specialist.
This ,succulent crop grows so
thick and fast, he says, that "12
cows get abundant feed where one
cow starved before"
Ladino seeds first were brought
into Massachusetts, in 1923 by John
Ellis. His first crop was so sue
cessful that neighboring dairymen
experimental. Since then paintings
have increased each season, and
last year 100 acres were devoted
to this crop cultivation.

they usually roam in packs like
wolves, woe to the sportsman who
