THE RED-IIOT POKER PLANT. 9
In the north of Cape Colony there c

great tableland of the Karroo. famous n
for its queer plants and its life-giving ti

ugly-locking plant save at the time r
of flowers. Then it affords a brilliant n
spectacle as it ligits up the hill.;ides
in spring (which, in South Africa, cor- a
responds to the En'lish antumn). Its e

LIFE OF TIlE SILK WORM.
The silkworm is the larvae of the
mulberry-feeding moth, an inconspicu
ouis ra-th of ashy whit wings. The s
male is not half an Inch: long, and the
female is little longer and stouter.
The silkworm is hairless, of an ashen
gray or cream color, grows to a
length of three to three rand a half
inches and is slender. Its natural
food is the leaves o; the mulberry
tree. The silk glands or vessels con
sist of two long sacs running along
tne sides of the bn,!ly. When the
larva is fully maturc:l and ready to
change to the pupa condition, it pro
ceeds to spin its cocoon, in which op
eration it ejects from both tgId:s a
the same time a line or thread about
4,000 yards long". -nv;r its head
around in regular cr ;" fior three days
or thercaborts, wa:-'ping itself up
completely. The c!.coon with the in
closed pupa Is e;g-shaped, white or
yellow in color, an inch to an inch and
a half long and half an inch to an
inch thick. In two to three weeks
after completion of the cocoon, the in
closed insect is ready to escape. It
moistens one end of its self-made
prison, thereby enabling itself to push
aside the fibres and n:kete an opening
)y which the perfect moth comet fo:th.
The female lays h.r cc's to the nlT.

CAPE COLONY'S JUMPIN(G IIARES
SA regiment recerntly returned from
the front brought back quite a new
pet. It was the jumping hare of Cape
Colony. It is rather a strange beast
having no near relations: being a ro.
dent, with the usual rodent teeth, like
a hare's or a rat's. but (and this is its
curiosity), it is built just like a kanga
roo, traveling by a series of hounds.
There are several kinds of the lathe:
in South AMrica. but only one jumping
hare in the world. A full-grown one
is about twenty inches long and from
the nose to the root of the tail.l, and
the tail is longer still. When its is
bounding along, the tail is carried
upright like a flag, not trailing behind
it. It lives in colonies, in very deep.
complex burrows, from which it can
often be belted by pouring water
down. It is as destructive to crops
as a rabbit. Clover. grass and vege
tables are bitten down short and de
voured, both green and ripe.
The flesh is consequently, very good
eating, indeed.
Jumping hares are only seen about
Iin the evening, and prefer to be.
abroad at night; consequently, as they
stay in the burrows ny day, they are
difficult to shoot. The youths of the
Cape enjoy good sport in shooting
them by the aid of the light thrown
by a bicycle lamp at night. The lamy
is carried in the left hand, and the
light is reflected by the eyes of thB
jumping hare; the hares are as Io:
at night, when man is about as mn'
nocturnal beasts are. whc:h krow ,.',

A WONDERFUL PrOMENADE.
A promenade inside a watch tlt is
all the while doing its ordinary duty
of telling the time is a 'pleasure in
store for visitors to the forthcoming
St. Louis exhibition. It is even stat
ed that a small restaurant, v.:th wait
ers, cooks and the ordinary parapher- (
nalia of such an institution, is to be s
located inside this monster timepiece. den
The watch is already in course of con- durn
struction. Its dimensions, as quoted stat
by the Chicago News, are, for a time- til :
piece. enormous, the diameter being chal
nearly seventy-five feet and the height lam
more than forty feet. wel
Tiny staircases will be scattered and
throughout the watch, and there will nct
'>e spacious galleries, where visitors due
way pass and roenass with ease. The
wheels will be so well protected that
no one can suffer injury either to per- T
son or clothin.. met
The wheel known as the "balance- ratl
wheel" will in this monster watch mil
weigh a ton, while the so-called "hair be
spring" will be considerably thicker a li
than a rolling pin. Approximately two bin
minutes will be consumed by the ou
swings back and forth of the wheel as
above mentioned. This wheel will be lies
pivoted on two huge agate blocks. pre
Needless to say, the mnainspring of tion
this extraordinary watch will be en- abc
ormnous. Three hundred feet will hard- in l
ly measure its length. and it is to be the
made of ten spring steel bands, two :n
inches thick, bound together, as it bel
would be impossible to roll so large a tar,
When finished the watch will lie on
its back. It will possess a polished F
metal case similar to those used for of
watches of ordinary dimensions.

TELEGRAPHING THE TIME.
"IIow. We Set Our Watches by a pot
Star," 's told by W. S. Harwood in the
St. Ni. holas. It is three minutes to ,o!
9 o'clock at night. The official in the
charge of a great observatory, the is
Goodsell Observatory. Northfield, Min- we
nesota, is preparing to send out the as
time to the people living in his section the
1 of America. For sixty seconds he yet
rattles away on a telegraph-instru- s,
ment at his desk, spelling out the ink
word "time, time, time;" then he waits ,
an instant. Then he turns to his tel-n
egraph key again. Eleven thousands ne
Sof miles of wire are open to him; he is oe
ruller of them all. Every telegraph wt
instrument in all the vast territory tel
of which the Goodsell Observatory is fee
the center is silent: every operator
has taken his hand from his key;
e tbro:zhout the whole length of these
thousands of miles there is a strange
silence.
T!:e seconds are slowly ticking ,v
away. Above the head of the observ- h
or there is a great observatory clock.
At preciely two minutes to nine, af- th
ter the telegraphers all along the miles th
of wire have been nctified and have th
J withdrawn their hands from the keys, t
the wires are switched into a con
g nection with the very clock itself, and 'o
along the eleven thousands of miles
there is no sound but the tick, tick,
°tick of the observatory clock. Every Ci
ibeat of the great arteries of commerce
is stopped; every throb of the news f
'f all lands going out night by night e
t over these wires from the great heart
of the world ceases; even the sad mes
s -ages of death and suffering, as well i
as the gay ones that tell of little
bIabies born and young folks married
and reunions of friends promised- I
all these miust wait while the great
clock on the wall makes itself under

nity over these many thousands of

h Something strangely solemn is in I
one's theughts as he stands beside P

hile the clock ticks on. Whoever w
is listening at the wire along its
nourse,. waiting to set his watch, ,
whether be be a railroad em
iloyee or some manr. in a large i
jeweler's establishment where the I

ut Select some of the best pigs and feed
ny them on wheat till they are in good

an Is near public range, a small floc I
of sheep will furnish excellent meat
and in such quantities that all can
be disposed of before the:'e is danger

ty It is impossible to secure the class of I

re can raise for himself if he will. a
ho Raise a few acres of grain. Two
acres of wheat will supply a fam!ly b

near a good mill or if not get a small a
rho farm mill and a hieve ana you will c

if there is any left over let the boys
have it for their tame p:geons.
Raise all the poultry that you care

eat the old hens. The old hens take I
o- little more coking, but they have I
more flavor. Have poultry for dinner
once a week at least, and raise tur

PRESERVINd( EGGS FOR WIN4TEIL
The Rhode Island Experiment sta- n

fourteenth annual re;o:t. In the pout ini

preservation bf eggs, and gives the re- 3r,
suits of a large number of e-:peri- a

It ofttimes happens that gacd eggs les
are on hand or easi!y and Cheaply ohb is
rainable, and in the interests of neces : o
sary economy the poultryman or so
hous-ekeeper desires to keep them for sl
several weeks or months before using. :e
Because of requests for some simple
and inexpensive way of accomplishing
this purpose, a number of experiments to
wer;e undertaken at this station to w
ascertain what methods of preserve- cc
tion of eggs can best be itilized td o6
eon:omically and effectually hold the in
surplus of eggs, piroduced hi spring, f
for a few months so that they mlay be at
used to advantage in the fall afid early ft
winter to supplement the production t`
when eggs Are scarce and costly. We s4
a! vise aol urge the use of the fresh- tt
est of eggs for the household When g,
I caibl,. but our experiments provd V,
that good, cel an eggs may be easily tl
and cheaply preserved for a consider- w
bhle length of time when necessary. b
In most methods of preserving eggs it Ce
is desirabl. to exelude or sterilize t
the air, which may act its a conveyor t
o; both germs and oxygen to the eggs.

has startedl to grow and has then by h
v-py means died, soon deccmposes un- k
der ordinary conditions. Among nu
m rrro': methods of preserving eggs
the following have been considered
,orthy of experimental tests: (1)
SWater glass (a silicate of soda), (2) I,
dry table salt (chloride of sodium), r
('; slacked l;me and salt brine. (4) n
va -line. (6) dry woad ashes. (6) fir'- re
I ly ground gypsum (sulphate of lime), y
17) powdered ulpl:ur.. (8) brimstone i
fun: ' a-nd sulphur. (9) :permaneanate
of lotash. (10) salicylic acid. and
(1W ) salt brine.
Of the different methods tested in l1
this series of experiments the old way
of using slacked lime and ralt brine
prove-I to be very effe-tual. and has
also the advantage of being inexpen- I
sive. It is also not di.irult to prac
tire. For a period of a few weeks
,niy, smearing the e.gs with vase
line may prove an effie t:ve method of
,or :ervation. In the place of vase
line almost any clean. greasy sub
stance may be used. For a period of
i,. few months only, packing in dry
I rable salt is worthy of recommend.
tticn. Of all the su'hetances experi
-;n: tcd with. the water glass solution
- roved most worthy of commendation.
The fourth series of experiments
showed that the water glass solution
could be reduced to 3 per cent. and
· till retain its preserving quality.
Water glass can be obtained of drug
gists at from 40 to 60 cents a gallon.
It is easily manipulated and the so
lution may be repeatedly used. The
eggs should be comp!etely immersed
e in the solution. and if any eggs float
an inner cover which will sink them
below the surface of the liquid should
he u-sei . In several tests where the eggs
e were placed in stone jars inverted
canucers were used for this purpose.
The expense for the water glass at 60
1 cents a gallon would amount to about
s- t--thirds of . cient a dozen eggs.
"TL:s does not include the expense of
s the jar or other receptacle, which may
h, of stoneware, glass or wood.

Electria Motors.
The great objection to electric mie
tors-that they will not run far enough
without recharging-is said to bI over*
eomd. Recently in tlnigland a circuit
of 94 miles was run without techarg.
ing. it was done with a battery of 42
four-ip!ate cells, with a capacity of 18{
ampere-hours. The eart lage was a
four-wheel dogcart with two motors bi
two and a half horse-power each. The
secret of the battery which enabled it
to make such a record was that in
going down grade the motors were re
versed, thus making dynamos fot
tharging the accumulators. In this
way the turrent was not only saved
but a new current actually generated
tendering the battery stronger at the
Lottom of the grade than it was at the

And, in all the seasons of their lives, as maids or wives
or mothers, that the one simple, wholesome remedy
which acts gently and pleasantly and naturally, and
which may be used with truly beneficial effects, under. r" a
any conditions,when the system needs a laxative-is
i- r-' Syrup of Figs. It is well known to be a simple com
bination of the laxative and carminative principles of
plants with pleasant, aromatic liquids, which are
dgreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable
r to the system when its gentle cleansing is desired.
Many of the ills from which women suffer are of
a transient nature and do not come from any organic
trouble and it is pleasant to know that they yield so
p rom ptly to the beneficial effects of Syrup of Fi,,
m t when anything more than a laxative is needed it
is best to consult the family physician and to avoid
the old-time cathartics and loudly advertised nos
trums of the present day. When one needs only to
remove the strain, the torpor, the congestion, or
similar ills, which attend upon a constipated condi
tion of the system, use the true and gentle remedy
Syrup of Figs-and enjoy freedom from the depres
sion, the aches and pains, colds and headaches, which
are due to inactivity of the bowels.
Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of Figs
can hope to get its beneficial effects and as a guar
antee of the excellence of the remedy the full name
of the company -California Fig Syrup Co.--is
printed on the front of every package and without
it any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs Is ifraud
- ulent and should be declined. To those who know the
quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any
substitute, when Syrup of Figs is called for, is
always resented by a transfer of patronage to some
first-class drug establishment, where they do not
recommend, nor sell false brands, nor imitation
'.ý remedies. The genuine article may be bought of all
reliable druggists everywhere at 60 cents per bottle.
