"Some jean ago I visited some of the
monasteries of the monks of St. Bernard
for the purpose of seeing the manner in
which these famous dogs are trained to
their life work," said a famous dog-
trainer. "There I realised for the first
time what a grand, noble thing the
education of even a dog may'be when it

a disaster. The heat of the sun would
expand the metal and pull it out of
shape, precisely as it does pull the
Brooklyn bridge out of shape every
day. The bridge is made in four parte,
and when they expand with the heat of
the sun they slide one past the other,
and no harm is done. The river span
rises and falls day and night, as heat and
cold alternate. The great copper statue
is likewise in twopyte. the, frame-, work -
of iron and the copper covering; and
while they are securely fastened togeth-'
er they can move ode over the other.
Each bolt will slip a trifle as the copper
expands in the hot August sunshine, and
slnle liack again -when the freezing
wintls blow and the vast figure shrinks
together in the cold. Besides this, thfc
copjier surface is so thin and elastic
that it will bend slightly when heated,
yet keep its general shape. ^
The s^lt air. blowing in from the sea
bus thin fingers and a bitter, biting
tongue. If ifHnds a crack where it can
creep in between the copper surface and
the iron skeleton, there yyill lie trouble
at once. These metals do not agree to
gether, and where there is salt moisture®,
iu the air they seem to quarrel more
hittesly than-ever." It seems that every
joining of points of copper and iron
makes a tiny battery, and so faint shiv
ers of electricity would run through all
the statue, slowly corroding and eating
it into dust. This curious, silent, and .
yet sure destruction must lie pre-
veuted, and so every joint throughout
the statue, wherever copper touches
iron, must be protected with little rags
stuffed lietween the metals to keep them
from quarreling. It is the same where-
ever two different metals touch each
other. Imagine what a tremendous
battery the Liberty would make, with
its tons of copiier surface and monstrous
skeleton of iron. However, a little
care prevents all danger, as provision
will.be made, of course, for keeping the
metals from touching each other.—.Yf

Ihe Plast'T Experiment.
A farmer can never certainly know what
plaster will do for him till be tries it on..
liis own fields. There is hardly a farm
crop which, If everybody’s testimony
'can be accepted, is not under some con
dition improved by a dressing of this
suhstanoe; and, on the other hand,
there is not a farm crop that has not
failed on somebody'aland to give any
satisfactory return for snch an applica
tion. Very few advocate it for potatoes;
its use on clover is more Common than
on any other crop, while there are many
witnesses to its excellent effect on In
dian, corn and grain—applied on corn in
the spring when it is two or three inches
high, a tabicspoonfnl to the hill, and'on
wheat in the fall. It will not do any

or even three times as much; on grass a
bushel applied at least once a year is re
garded as better than a larger quantity
