: The Gyroscope. |
When the movement of the gyro
scope attains 2 high degree of spead it
18 very difficult to displace the plane
of the top, which balances itself in the
most unlikédy positions. An attache
ment of this kind, but of very large di
mengions, if pluced on a wagon or a
boat, gives the vehicle extraordinary
stability. Trains resting on a single
line of wheels set under the middle of
the ear have atiained high speed dur
ing recent experiments in Germany
and have proved perfectly stable.~—

The femals mosquito often lives

FEW LESSONS WITH TURKEYS!
Breeder of Twenty-Two Years’ Expe
rience Finds Business More Profit- ‘
able Each Year. !
I have raised turkeys for sale 22
vears, and find it a more profitable :
business each year, says a writer in!
the Farin and Fireside. l
I have had to learn many lessons |
by quite an expencive route. Oue'
year I failed entirely by too close in
brecding. Another year I let my tur
keys wander at their own will and |
rcost where they pleased. Again Ii
allowed same to go up in the trees—
a hard sterm blew them out andl
drowned 24 beautics. Since these les
sons 1 have worked differently. I
I change either breeding hensg or
toms every other year. I usually buy
a thoroughbred bronze from some un
related flock., I keep old hens for
breeders, and find their pouits more}
teaithy. One early turkey is more
rrofitable than three late ones, so I
use the first egzs and sell the later
ones. Clicken hens are set on the |
first laying ard the pouliry given to
the first turkey hen that becomes
broody. Large, airy pens or coops
with rainproof roois are built quite
a distance from the houwe.
The hens are kept up twe weeks,
and then turned out every morning,
unless the weather becomes rainy.
They have learned to come when call
ed, and will answer me from ever £0
far when I call “Pee turk! Come on!”
I sm never too busy or too tired to
cet them up at the aprroaca ui &
hard storm, and at four o'clock in the
evening. They soon learn to come
home. After they are five or six
weeks old I never feed at noon.
I feed no sloppy feed, but have good
luck with wheat or corn bread, crack
ed corn, cooked soft, wheat, mashed
potatoesg, etc.
The firat two weeks are the most
particular. 1 give each poult a grain
of black pepper when it is 24 hours
old, and 2 stroke of lard or vaseline
{rom bill to top of head.
Then a feed of hard-hoiled egg, shell
and all, crushed fine, mixed with
bread soaked soft and stueezed dry
Fresh water, sand, lime and ground
charcoal are kept handy. They eat
of all; I never feed too much. I
never feed over four times a day,
and that often only a week. More
turkeys die from overfeading than un
derfeeding. I use a flat board to
sprinkle their feed on, and keep it
| clean. It pays to be cleanly with tur
- keys.
LEGHORN HENS AS MOTRHERS
Although Called Nonsitters Occasion
ally One Is Found and Will
Cover Many Eggs.
Although the Leghorns are called
aonsitiers, they do sit occasionally,
and I like them very much as moth
yvs. It wculd hardly seem possible
‘hat a Leghorn hen would cever more

egzs than a Cechin, but it is a fact,
sey a writer in an exchange, The
Cochin’s wings are short and stubby,
while the Leghorn’s wings are long
and she will spread them over a big
pestful. Last summer a Leghorn in
cubated 20 eggs for me and hatched
19 of them. It was, however, in the
month of July, and her nest was care
fully arranged in a basket; but I nev
er give them less than 15, They take
excellent care of their young; being
light weight, they seldom hurt a
chicks by stepping on it, and they
will fight intruders fiercely.

Keep your stock healthy, clean and

Not all the failures of poultry life
are due to the hens. ‘
The first duck eggs of the season
are hardly ever fertile.
Don’t gorge the growing chicks one
day and starve them the next.
Any fowl is liable at times to pro
duce an egg containing blood spots.
Well grown ducklings very woften
will begin laying at five months of
age.
Chicks like heat, and it is good for
them; but there is a difference in
heat.
Don’t let chicks squeeze through
slated coops until their bodies are de
formed.
Poultry breedirg as a pursuit is em
phatically a labor of love, but it is,
pevertheless, a labor,

LIFE PRESERVER UNDER COAT
Inventor Gives Test of His New
Device- in the Hudson
River, P
A new style of life preserver, de
signed for expert and amateur swim
mers as well as for all manner of ves
gcls, was tried out in the Hudson river
off One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street’
the other day. The device was worn
by its inventor, Nathan Martino, of
704 Ninth avenue. It consists of a
rubber belt, with two sacks, or in
flated balloons, just in frent of the
gsheulders. Mr. Martino demonstrated
that the life preserver can bes wora
when deflated underneath a bathing
suit or any ordinary clotking, and iu
flated within a second’'s time by
means of the tubes, which hang over
the shoulder. If a swimmer is sud
denly afllicted with cramps he could
reach for the tubes, put them in his
mouth and inflate the bags before he
could sink. Thig is what Mr. Martino
paid, and he demounstrated it by plung
ing ianto- the Fudson river, where the
water is 20 feet deep, inflated the de
vice ard floated about without eiffort.
Two hundred hathers watched the
demonstraticn.,
The new life preserver is made of
India rubber. The one used by IMr.
Martino is the only one ever made,
and cost ten dollars. Mr. Martino said
that duplicates could be made for half
{hat sum. ITe made the assertion that
it will supnort a person weighing 300
rounds, and has the advantage over
the ordinary cocrk life preserver that
any one on board ship or swimming
can wear one deflated, without its fig
vring as any addition to the ordinary
clothing. . Mr. Martino, who says he
weighs 210 pounds and looks every
pound of if, ficated about in the wa
ters of the Pudson without efrort.
FFW HUMIGHG BIRDS LEFT
Commercial Uses Have Nearly Exter
rminated the Tiniest of Featn- '
ered Creatures. 3
Our continent has a monopoly of
humming birds, the gems of the feath
ered creation. Of these there are said
to be as many as four hundred speci~®3,
most of which confine themselives Lo
the tropical regicns.
Only elghteen varietics live farther
nerth tkan Mexico. It is gsnerally
thought thet humming birds live upon
horey. This, however, is a mistake.
They do obtain and devour heney, it is
true, but most of their focd censists
of the small insects which ichabit cer
tain fowers.
Humming Lirds are so small that
when they are captured for commer
cial purposes it is impossible to use
even the smallest shot for fear of in
juring their skins. They are therefore
stunned with a drop of water from a
blowgun or syringe and fall into a
net, when they are quickly poisoned.
Humming birds vary in size from
those half as large as a sparrow to
those about the size of a bee. Their
flight is . so swift that they can be
well seen only when poised above a
flower. The little creatures bid fair
to be exterminated on account of the
senseless and cruel fashion of using
them as trimming for women’s hats.—,

Pompsiian Venus is Unearthed.
One of the latest and most interest
ing things uncovered during the new
excavations at Pompeii under the di
rection of Professor Spinazzola, is a
fresco which is regarded as the best
which has yet been found. It is very
beautiful, and in a perfect state of
preservation. It was one of the orna
ments of the facade of a house situat
ed in the main public thoroughfare, of
which the rocf was in an almost intact
condition. It represents the Pom
peiian Venus standing erect, crowned
with a diadem, in the midsc of fiying
Cupids, on a chariot drawn by four In
dian elephants. Seen from the front,
the representation of these animals is
strikingly realistic. The archaeologi
cal value of the fresco is extremely
great, for the colors are very fresh
and harmonious.
No Maltese Cats in Malta.
Jemes Cliver Laing, American con
sul at Malta, informs the state depart
ment that many Americans have ask
ed him to give names of breeders of
pure blood maltese terriers and cats.
He says there are a few so-called mal
tese terriers in Malta and they are
not of pure blood. The puppies which
the street hawkers offer for sale to
tourists are more or less mongrel,
with a strain of the old breed. Mal
tese cats do not exist in Malta, at
least not one of the color called mal
tese in the United States, has been
seen there.
Modern Morals.
“This latter-day or new morality is
teco lax for me.”
The speaker was Jerome S. Mc-
Wade, the Duluth millionaire. He
continued:
“This new morality, which seems
in its tolerance rather to encourage
han to oppose wickedness, reminds me
of a lad in my Sunday school class.
“‘Now, Tommy, I said to this lad
one Sunday afternoon, ‘now, Tommy,
what must be do before our sins can
be forgiven?
“‘We must sin,” Tommy replied.” ‘
Low Wages for Rescuers. l
The appalling number of suicides in
St. Petersburg has created a new oc
cupation for the workless. Many
watchers assemble every day on the
banks of the Neva and the canals on
the lookout for attempted suicides.
For each rescue the “hero” receives
$2.50 from the perfecture of police. In
one week one man made $7.50 in this
way. 4
