K5 ? Bw' !. AND iiH THROW LIGHT AROUND CURVE lAutornoblle Lights Controlled by Steering Gear Asalat Greatly In Preventing Accident. Ono of the most ingenious of the many devices Invented for use on automobiles Is the controlling ap pliance for lamps designed by two Ohio men. Dy moans pf this device tne lamps or a motor car can do maue Auto Lights Tnat Turn. to turn in any direction the car turns, thereby eliminating one cause of ac cidents. The lamps aro plvotally mounted and turned easily. Attached to each Is a three-piece Jointed rod 'which runs under the hood of the auto and connects with tho steering gear. When the wheel is turned the lamps turn automatically and throw their light In whatever direction the car Is going. HlUerto.'ln turning a corner, the road Just In front was not Illuminated until the motor car was all the way around tho corner. This has caused many accidents, as for a few seconds the driver could not see what was ahead if It was a dark night. The Invention here shown keeps tho path always illuminated and eliminates the danger tumpletely. OLD DISEASE IS INCURABLE Whole Families Are Afflicted With All- urophobla, or Fear of Cats Grows More Intense. At a meeting of afield naturalists' society in Edinburgh one of the mem bers read a paper on allurophobla, i which means "the fear of cats," and cited numerous examples of persona for whom the ordinary harmless cat possesses the greatest repellant pow ers. Wholo families are afflicted with It, according to tho paper, and the per sons so afflicted either fainted or went Into hysterica If a cat brushed against their clothes. It was agreed by all who had any knowledge of such cases that It was a genuine disease and that It was incurable, and also that tho aversion to felines grew more Intense with the age of the afflicted one. This is only one Interesting phase of a study which has always been of su premo interest to students of heredity. They probably would explain that it is the recollection of some rcmoto ances tor's fear of the great felines that made primeval life miserable, surviv ing countless generations of immunity from molestation or the fear of It. These instinctive likes and dislikes which come down to us more or less vaguely and only break out in pro nounced guise in odd cases nre less frequent with human beings than with animals.

PROPER HANDLING OF APPLE CROP AFTER IT Respiration o Fruit After Taken From Tree Bears Impor. tant Relation to Their Keeping Qualities Kep About Twice as Long In Cold Storage as In Ordinary Cellar. (By V W MORSE. New Hampshire) The respiration of animals Is a well know action and the necessity for It In the living creature is fully appre ciated. Tho fact that plants and parts of plants must also breatbo Is not so commonly understood. Yet all living cells, whether a part of animal matter or vegetable matter, must have oxygen to keep them alive and they give up carbon dioxide and water as a result of tho action of the oxygen on some of their contents. Parts of plants -when cut off from the main stem do not dlo at once, and must continue to breathe. This Is true, whether tho severed part Is a leafy branch, a fruit or, a root; but soma parts live much .longer after removal than others, and the apple continues to breathe for many weeks after it has been picked from the tree. The chief products of respiration are tho same In plants as In animals, namely, carbon dioxide (commonly called carbonic acid) and water. These products can be easily shown by plac ing one or more apples in - glass Jar and coloring It tightly. In a fow hours a dewy film will cover the inner surface of the Jar, that in time will collect Into drops which wilt trickle to .the bottom. On opening tho Jar, a little clear lime-water may be poured Into it without touching the fruit, and Testing an Apple. tbo lime-water will be seen to turn milky. Just as It will If an animal's urtath Is forced through It. The taking up of oxygen from the air can also be readily shown by tho following Interesting experiment In a large basin partially tilled with water set a small support on which Is placed an apple and a small open dish containing a solution of caustic soda or potash. The apple should not touch the water nor the caustic solu tion. Cover the support and Its con tents by a largo bell glass or wide Jar with its mouth wholly In the water. AUTUMN SOWN RYE VALUABLE Crop la Hardy and Produces an Immense Bulk of Material Before Other Grosses art Grown. (By W. K. OILUERT) Rye is not grown on every farm, but those who have proved Its value as a bulky, succulent green food that Is available In the spring before the grass grows, treat It as an lndlspensl ble and valuable crop. Those who do not grow It can have an Idea of this. In the spring time when they are lamenting the absence of new grass, resolutions are often made to grow some the suc ceeding year, but when the time ar rives to sow the crop the good Inten tions are forgotten and nothing is done. Then when the time comes around again, as It always does, much regret Is felt that provision was not made to meet It with a good supply of rye. I would remind all that rye should now be sown and assert that It Is most dependable. It Is hardy, always grows, pro duces an Immense bulk of material long before any kind of grass affords til r"v m im alsBBBsV BBIBBBbI In tho colder months when the Inside temperature Is higher than that H H In tho colder months when the Inside temperature Is higher than that to the roof and osenlngs at the side by HAS BEEN PICKED Now as tho apple breathes In the oxy gen of tho air, and breathos out car bonic acid, the latter will be absorbed by tho caustic solution white water will rise In tho Jar to fill tho spneo made vacant by the removal of the oxygen. Finally tbo water will fill about oue-flfth of tho air space orig inally present and remain stationary, becnuso tho oxygon Is all used Respiration, whether In animals or In plants, causes a destruction of mat ter In the colls much like the destruc tion of wood In a stove, and the rate at which this destruction goes on can be measured by determining tho amount of carbonic acid that Is breathed out In a given length of time Krult, after having been picked from tho tree Is In the condition of a starv ing animal. Its cells still keep up res piration with nothing In tbo way o( food to make good the losses produced by tho action. Since apples and other fruits have no body heat to maintain, tho breathing process is not so active as In animals, and they may last months after being picked from the tree. Yet there is a steady, contin uous loss In weight as tho weeks go by, although tho fruit is sound and firm. Respiration Is partly a chemical re action, and In apples, llko most chem ical solutions In tho laboratory, It grows more rapid as the fruit becomes warmer, and slowed down when the fruit Is cooled. It is frequently the case that warm days with temperatures of TO degrees occur late In the fall, and sometimes continue for a considerable period. Fancy apples Intended for long keep ing In cold storage should be cooled as soon as posslblo and kept cold. The breathing process is at the expense ol cell contents and must weaken the keeping qualities as It goes on. And this destructive action la from four to six times as fast out of cold storage as inside It. Another fact in connection with the respiration Is Important It Is not stopped in cold storago, but simply slowed. Apples cannot be kept In definitely, but kept about twlco as long in cold storage as In a cool cellar. Draft Horses. A good horseman never trots a draft horse, oven when be has no load. That Is not what thoy are for, Some degree of speed Is desirable, however, even In a drafter, and the fast walk Is not only tbo proper thing, but the only speeding to which a heavy draft horse should be pormltted a bite and the stocc relish it greatly. This Includes cows In milk, marcs suckling foals, sheep with lambs, and store stock, too. If sufficient Is grown to allow them some. It should not be sown in bleak prominences where It will have to contend with cutting winds. The more sheltered spots or fields are better adapted for its development In the hindorlng weathers of early spring. It may follow after corn or pota toes. It Is only a temporary crop and will be consumed and cleared oft In time to admit of roots being sown In the early summer. Making such quick and profuso growth It requires rich soil, but not to excess, as this would produce growth of a soft and too perishable nature. Field after field of It need not be grown. A few acres, from two to half a dozen, according to demand, will yield a big supply About three bushel of seed Bhould be sown per acre. I much prefer to drill It. like grain, to sowing It broadcast Dlrds and pigeons are very fond of the Beed and if sown broadcast much of It will bo eaten, but when drilled, most of it Is left alone. There Is a great demand for It by tho cow keepers and those who have become acquainted with its disposal In this fashion never fall to have a large supply which cold air may anUr. Rubbers Rubbers Now is the tims when you are needing Rubbers, heavy Arties, Rubber-boots. Leibovitz's is the place where you can get them at greatly reduced prices. I am determined not to carry over any rubber goods until next season, and Realizing that the season is growing quite advanced, I have made sharp reductions on my entire rubber line. My stock is still complete and everything is fresh and new no old stock. A fine opportunity for economical rubber buyers.
