So far as I have observed, the taran tula will only visit a house or even a camp in search of flies or other food, . and he will usually quickly retreat if his way is clear. - So, too, the centipedes as a rule pre fer to hide under washboards or in " damp cellars and decaying timbers, only coming out after food, such as roaches and croton bugs.

Another time, desiring to take an afternoon sirsta in i ny hammock, I shook out the shawl spread over it, and from the folds fell a good sized female scorpion. Having respread my shawl I turned over the pillow to beat it up, when from under it there dOopped over 24 baby scorpionts. The young scor pions usually travel from point to point on the mother's back, but while she is foraging around for food they are generally to be found in hiding near by, as was this little colony. Over 1 70 young ones have been found with p one female. The poison from these creatures is I applied in three different ways, thouglý the poison itself is much the same and I similar in action. The fang of the scorpion is at the very tip of its long, flexible tail, as the abdomen appears to be, and with it the I creature can deal itself quite as deadly I a blow as it can to any enemy. This it will do. just as described in one of By- 1 ron's poems, if it be surrounded with a i circle of fire and assured of its inability I to escape. This I have tested quite a score of times, thus disproving claims 1 of certain naturalists, who probably I never saw a live scorpion, that Byron a invented the story to suit his rhyme. t The amount of poison in the scorpion t will not. in my opinion, kill a healthy r adult, although it will castse an amount of pain for some hours that is most difficult to bear with fortitude, as I can testify from personal experience. lIut a large female scorpion certainly can cause death to a half-grown child or to a timid woman, or a man whose blood is in a bad or impure condition. The tarantula carries its poison at the base of the most savage-looking fangs. that hang down from the lower side of its head. Owing to their po sition, the term "bite" may be more correctly applied to the tarantula than to either of the others; it is, neverthe less, not a bite, but a sudden down ward stroke of the fangs into the ob ject attacked. I have never foundanyone who lnew of a case where a centipede wounded a man without first having been stepped on, rolled on or in some like manner hurt. Its poison is a much more di lute fluid than that of the others and is exuded from the hollow feet. A centipede that I rolled on with my naked back in my sleep on the little I steamer that plies on the San Juan river in Nicaragua left a thick red ridge as wide a's my thumb quite across my back, but there were no holes in my skin that a friend with a pocket lens could discover. Its poicon is much less serious in effect than that a of the other, not much worse than a t row of hornet stings would be; but, al though the least painful of these three sometime bedfellows, it is quite bad j enourh.

NEW ARTIFICIAL FUEL. Produced by the Admlxture of White Powder with Coal Dust. Additional tests of a satisfactory character have been made of a tiew artificial fuel produced by the admix ture of a white dry powder with coal dust in certain proportioas. Pitdh is the combining medium almost uni versally employed for utilizing coal waste, but it involves certain practic al objections in storage and use which, ibis claimed, are overcome by the new process. The composition of the powder employed in this ease is not made known, but it is said to dih slast of two iattiual substances, both oi which are plentiful dnd inexpensiv; e bnd do not give out noxious fumes in combustion nor exert any deletei-ious influences whateveu upon the boiler plates of fines. Tests show that, as compared with anthracite coal, the blocks made of this material are of de cided value when used in a boiler fur nace. That is, it was found that the total horse power developed by the boiler with the tanthracite coal in its batural condition was 868.1, while with blocks of the new material it was 506.0--this computing twenty jotIzids of water per hour, according to the rule; as e qual to i indicated horse power; reckoning, however, fifteen pounds of waterper hour as equal to 1 indicated horse power, as is customary with the best triple expansion oii' gines, the total horse power developed with the bricks was 673, dgainst 491 with the natural coal. NEW PREPARED PAPER. Why Its Inventor Has Been Refused a German Patent. The Droguisten Zeituing is responsi ble for.the statement that in Germany a patent has been refused, and the mnan~tacture and sale have been pro hibited, of a paper so prepared that any ink writing upon its surface could be erased by the simple application of a moist sponge. The paper was made of the ordinary ingredients, with the addition of asbestoC and parchment glue. The paper pulp, after rolling, was immersed for a short time (from six to thirty-five seconds, according to the thickness of the paper to be pre pared from it) in concentrated sul phuric acid at 20 degrees, diluted with 10 to 15 per cent. of water. It was then pressed between glass rollers, passed successively through water, ammonia solution, and a second time through water, strongly pressed be tween rollers and dried on felt rollers, and, finally, on polished and heated metal rollers. The finished carticle is said to be pre cisely like ordinary paper. Its sale has been prohibited on account of the misuse to which it can be put. Progreash in Etrletricy. A remarkable illustration of the progress of electrical appliances is electrolytic painting. Hitherto, if cop peror other metalwere to be deposited electrically, a bath of solution was needed. Now this is changed and a technical journal says a ship's hull can be plated as easily as a spoon or tera pot. Instead of a bath, insoluble salts, ground to a fine powder and mixed with water, are used. This mixture is painted on the metal to be plated by a fine wire brush, to which one pole of a dynamo conductor is attached, the other pole being connected' with a plate. Not only pure metal, but all sorts of alloys ecn be used. A Omreat Obestacl. "I see the inventor of that flying ma chine has given up all hopes of being able to fly with it." "Why so?"

Such a device, when properly de= fended from rain and mice, will be of invaluable advantage to the bees, in keeping up uniformity of temperature during the long, dild, freezing spells of gloomy winter. Wintering bees safely is the great point in successful apiculture. Those who can do this well need not despair in making a buccess of bees add honey. As this has been and still is the dead point of the business, nearly all failures have been here. By successful winter ing we not only mean the preservation of the life of our bees until the return of spring, but also that they shall be sufficiently numerous to pass the sev eral trials of spring in safety, and have their hives overflowing with bees at the opening of the honey flow. This is successful wintering, and when it is accomplished our labors will be crowned with abundant success.-Wil liam liallantine, in American Farmer. AMONG THE POULTRY. 1T is our opinion that you will hate a better potato crop next-season if some of those 'seed potatoes" you are saving are boiled and fed to the hens during the winter. IF you have any thought of improv ing your flock-infusing new blood into it-now is the best time to do it. Good young cockerels can be bought for less money now than in the spring. 1i the water dish is kept in the hen house have one that does not leak. Some houses are made damp by the amount of water that leaks out of the drinking vessel Dry quarters are needed to give health and vigor to poultry. WVE believe in fresh air for poultry, but it seems to us that the cold and melancholy winds that play around the tree tops just now must be a little too fresh for the good of those hens that are compelled, for lack of better shel ter, to roost in them. IF your henhouse is small, its bor ders may be enlarged so as to give a sunning place for the hens this winter by building a shed. A north side and a roof will do if no more can be provided. Take some poles, make a frame and bank up and cover with straw and the deed is done. Poattoes for Youag PIg. An excellent addition to the milk given to young pigs-and the mixture is also valuable for pigs of a larger growth-will be found in the potatoes that are too small for the market. Even where the largest varieties are grownm, and good cultivation, there will be some potatoes which are not large enough to sell and which are not de sirable for seed. The great majority of kinds, especially when not highly cul tivated, have quite a proportion of un marketable tubers. It pays well to save these small potatoes and feed them to the pigs. Before being offered to the pigs the potatoes should be washed and boiled. How to FIteure Pioeslt. In computing the income from live stock we must consider what is put on the farm as well as what is sold off it; and in our practiee in stock growing we should consider that poor food 1 makes poor manure. Starving the ani- 1 mals is starving the land. Food that fats the animal makes mannre that fats 1 the land.

Make a round tenon dhe top, put on cap and pin above, or put hook on back part and hook to staple in post. Leave loose, so it can turn to swing hog out of the way of the next." On this fourhogs may be hung. If the post is set loose in a neat-fitting hole three feet deep it, the post, can be taken out after using and put under cover. FOR A PtULLING HORSE. A Halter Which No Anhnal Will inete Succeed in Breaking. An excellent halter for a pulling horse is one made as shown in the as companying eut. It is similar to the otnminn halter, except that the chin strap is double and the ring be which the horse is fastened-attaches to only one of the pieces, forming a noose which tightens upon the horse's jaw whenever he pulls. When the puller finds he accomphshes nothing except his own discomfiture, he is usually will ing to give up the effort. The entire halter must be strong, so he will never succeed in breaking it. A colt should never be tied with anything weaker than a half-inch manilla rope, that he may never learn his power. -A. C. West, ie Farm and Hiome. Introduclnel New Bloond. When the flock is to be improved by procnring males from elsewhere, the farmer should so arrange his yards a to know what to expect. If he turns bthe newly acqured male out to become a member of the flock, where there i ay be other males, his object may not be iattnained. The proper plan to pursue is to select the best hens in the fock, about one dozen, and.place them in a yard wihth the selected btile in the spring, about a month before the time for hatching the chicks arrives. It will do no harm to allow all of the hens to be together during the winter, pnr vided they are separated as mentioned, In the spring. If new blood is to be in troduned you must be sure that you _re ascomplishing your purpose, which demands personal attention until the hatehing season is over, when the males will no longer be required.
