Meteorologists say that the heat of

from the interior of the earth; (2)
that from the stars; (3) that from the

meteors; (6) that from the sun.
A novel way of illuminating a tun

The apparatus for keeping the eye
moist is complex and efficient. It com

tears into the nose, and the lachrymal

the lighting circuit has been deVised
by M/Leon Pitot, of Paris, by which
he utilizes eighty-five per cent, of the
heat given out by the lamp. He
claims that an. eight-pa-idla lamp will
maintain the water at a temperature
of forty degrees centigrade; while a
aixi en-candle lamp will maintain it
at boiling point. The receptacle,

The corn crop in this country baa
always largely taken the plact of roots
for feeding stock. Probably if Eng
land could grow corn as the United
States can its growth of root for cattle
and sheep feeding would be lessened |
but the fact that roots are BUCCUlent
food, while dried COrUstalks are not,
has to Home made it seem a necessity
to grow roots for part of the winter
ration. Ensilage removes this neces
sity. It is sneculCht and has gener
ally a higher nntritive value than has
Toots. ■ The greatest of tho advafitages
of ensilage is that the ontting and fill
ing of the silo is in one operation and
all the work of cutting is dono by
horse or steam power. Where roots
are fed. there it a daily job of catting
and slioing them. so that-they may be
safely eaten. It is not- a. job big
cnobgh to use horse or steam power,
and the daily task of slicing roots by
hind labor soon becomes an 'intoler

New Building Material,

A new bnilding material called
eompoboard is thus described by the
Northwestern Lumberman: It is
made of one-eighthuneb strips bf
wOrid troni tHree : quartefs tri one and
A 'quarter iiiches wide, placed be
tween two sheets of heavy strawboard
and united under heavy pressure with
a strong Cement. The process of
manufacture is peouliar. 'Into the
machine that molds the board are run
two sheets of the StrlWbOard frrini
follSj One from Abdve and one from
below a table onto which are fed from
a feeding device the strips of wood.
A "roller running in a tank of tbs
liquid cement rolls upon the inner
surface of the sheets of strawboard,
and the three layers of material run
together between rolls and into a hy
draulic press, capable of exerting a
pressure 120 tons to the square inch.
Ten feet of the board is stopped auto
matically for a few secon.ls in the
press, then run out upon a table' fit
ted with' 1 criUriff saws, where it is
sawed to '•the desired length. It is
then run upon -tnfeks, placed in the
■dry-kiln, aud when taken out is
trimmedto forty-eight inches in
width. tl i •
The strength of the board as .com
pared with its weight is marvelous.
The ends of an eighteen foot, can be
brought together without breaking or
-wprping it,, conditions can warp fit.
Wall paper is pnt upon the . beard
and the liuish is.as tine as upon any
plastered wall. The strong points

Death From Fright.
"During my frirty odd years ol
practice I havo never seen but one
case where death was caused by
fright,” said a physician. “The in
stance I speak of* happened in South
America, through which I was making
a tour. One afternoon we experi
enced a rather severe shock of earth
quake. Some time .before the shook
was felt a young Mex jean who was em
ployed to work about an anatomical
museum in the town where I was then
visiting fell asleep iri a chair iu the
roopvwhick contained' all the ghostly
relics. Suddenly ho was awakened by
an extraordinary noise. He was hor
rified to see all the death’s heads nod
ding and grimacing, aud the skeletons
dancing about and waving their flesh-
leks'Rrms madly in the air. Speech
less tvith t’rrb'r,'thri poor fellow tied
from the sSsene,’ arid upon reaching the
street-, fell to tho grotuid iiuconsriious
and half dead with fright. After a
few hertirs he became somewhat ration
al, and it was explained to him that it
was an earthquake that had caused all
the commotion among the specimens,
bnt the'shock had been too severe aud
his death followed in a few days.”—
