Southerland Eccs Not Use Ropea or
Scaffolds, but AValks Up on ttic Out
side Wall—Contemplates Walking
Up tile Washington tioznment.
Some of His Feats.
F. S. Southerland, the champion
climber of the world, who is known
throughout the United States and in
Europe as the “Human Fly,” was in
consultation recently with Chief Clerk
Taylor of the postoflice department at
Washington and a number of other
government officials. For some time
the question has been seriously consid
ered of erecting a fifty foot flagstaff
on the main tower of the postoffice
building and transferring to this pole
the time ball that now falls at exactly
noon each- day from the staff on the
state, war and navy building, announc
ing to the country the official time by
the meridian at Washington. The ball
at the war department staff can be
seen only a comparatively short dis
tance away, as the structure is not par
ticularly high and has no central tower.
Were the ball erected on the postoiiice
building, however, it would be over
400 feet from the ground and, being
centrally located, could be seen from
all parts of fife city and even from the
Soldiers’ Home heights ou the north
and the “basin” or harbor of the Po
tomac on the south.
The erection of the staff and ball,
however, appeared to be a very diffi
cult job, and those steeple climbers
who wore consulted on the subject ex
pressed the opinion that it would be
necessary to erect a scaffolding from
the base of the tower to its apex, as
the sides of the tower rise almost per
pendicularly for seventy-five or a hun
dred feet. The project had nearly been
abandoned because of the vast amount
of work and trouble entailed and the
comparative unimportance of the trans
fer of the time ball when one of the offi
cials heard of Southerland and sent for
him to ask his opinion as to the practi
cability of the move, says the New
York Sun. He laughed when told what
was desired.
“Easy,” he said. “Why, it’s net
worth while talking about. Tell me
what you want me to do and when you
want me to do it.”
Mr. Taylor asked the “Human Fly”
whether he intended to use a scaffold
ing or ropes and if ropes how he in
tended to get them to the top of the
tower. Southerland, who is built like a
gladiator, laughed In a deep chested
basso and waved his hand scornfully.
“Ropes, scaffolds—I don’t use them.
They are for amateurs. I walk up.
That is where I got the name of the
‘Human Fly.’ ”
“But, my dear man,” said the chief
clerk despairingly, “you might as well
try to walk up the wall of this room.”
“That’s easy, too,” said the “Human
Fly.”
He quickly opened a valise, donned
an odd locking pair of shoes and a still
mo^e peculiar looking pair of gloves
and, stepping to a side of the room
clear of furniture, calmly-walked up
the wall until his head touched the ceil
ing with as much ease aud facility as
if he were climbing a ladder. When he
came down and had removed his suc
tion shoes and gloves, he was asked no
more questions as to how he proposed
to get the slender shaft and time ball
on the top of the tower. The chief clerk
will lay the matter of the erection of
the pole and ball before the postmaster
general, and Southerland will probably
do his sensational climb some time In
the near future.
While in Washington Southerland
contemplates asking the proper author
ities for permission to walk up the
Washington monument—on the outside.
As the shaft is 555 feet high and its
sides are perpendicular Southerland
was laughed at when he mentioned the
matter. He promptly resented the im
plied disbelief and offered to blindfold
Mr. Dawson, the postmaster general’s
private secretary, equip him with the
suction shoes and gloves and send him
up outside of the Washington monu
ment for a hundred feet cr so.
“You could not climb to the top,” he
said, “because you are not strong
enough aud are not used to the work
And I would have to blindfold you or
you’d get dizzy. But you couldn’t fall
If you tried.”
Mr. Dawson, however, has declined
the honor.
The “Human Fly” is perhaps as well
If not better known in Europe than in
the United States. It was he who put
up the pole and halyards and raised the
American flag on the Eiffel tower In
Paris, worked on the spires of the
cathedral in Cologne, Germany, and
climbed up the outside of the chemical
stack in Glasgow, Scotland, one of the
tallest chimneys in the world. He has
climbed the steeples of St. Patrick’s
cathedral and Trinity church in New
York and St. Paul’s in London, climbed
the national liberty pole on the High
lands of Navesinlr, N. J.; climbed the
staff on The World building. New
York: the city hall of Philadelphia, the
courthouse lowers at San Bernardino
and Los Angeles, Cal.; Siegel-Cooper’s
poles and stacks in Chicago, etc.
Southerland said that he had had
many falls and that once he dropped
a distance of over 200 feet.
“How long did that lay you up?”
asked Mr. Taylor.
“Oh, I was out in a couple of days,”
said the “Human Fly.”
Southerland’s business card, which
gives his permanent address in care of
L. Z. Leiter, Chicago, contains the sig-

the fallen grain, but the numerous
sects, would be quickly and cheaply
transformed into eggs. &v in case pas
tures or meadows abound with insect
life or orchards or berry fields are at
tacked with insect enemies the hens
would accomplish a double good at
small expense. In some localities sucl
a house might invite the attacks of
marauders, either two legged or four
legged, but not more so than many of
the permanent houses one sees through
the country. But such a house might,
after the inmates are settled for the
night, be drawn into the barn aud lock
ed up securely. One often sees poultry
quarters made from materials whose
first use was entirely foreign to any
such purpose. Vv'e have seen several
discarded street cars used for poultry
aud an occasional abandoned freight
,ear. Fiano boxes make very good
homes for a small flock, while these
and large dry goods boxes can easily
and cheaply he transformed into houses
suitable for bantams or for growing
stock. We have known of a section
of a large hollow tree being fitted up
iuto a very comfortable henhouse.
Probably the latter is less common
now than in the early history of the
country.—Poultry Monthly.
The New Wyandottes.
The new variety of Wyandottes,
called Silver Penciled Wyandottes, Is
a beautiful fowl, hut beyond all this
they are wonderful egg producers. A
lot are known to have been hatched
early in July, 10C0, which began to lay
about Christmas. Two of them have
continued to lay right along for seven
months. During May these two liens
laid, one, twenty-one eggs; the other,
twenty-three eggs. For 210 days, end
ing July 20, these two hens have laid
207 eggs between them. If the ratio
eoukl be maintained, these two hens
might produce in the full 3G5 days
259 eggs each. But it is to be pre
sumed that they cannot continue at
this rate much longer. This new va
riety is a combination of the original

Testing: the Eggs.
The testing of the eggs has Dothiug
to do with the result of the hatch. Peo
ple test the eggs to find out whether
the eggs are fertile or not prior to the
term they are due to hatch. This en
ables them to select, the clear from the
fertile eggs. These clear eggs are just
as good for cooking or any use that
other eggs of the same age can be put
to, as they would be if never placed in
the machine. Being in the machine for
a week or ten days has no more influ
ence on clear eggs than the summer
weather would have cn them in a bas
ket in the house. Clear eggs will keep
good longer than will the so called fer
tile eggs.
When yon have several incubators, if
two are filled aud started at the same
time, when they are tested it often hap
pens that one machine will hold all the
fertile eggs, thus saving the time of one
of the machines, that can be refilled
and no lime lost working to keep cleat
eggs warm for three weeks. This Is
also true when you put your eggs un
der several hens. These are the rea
sons for testing the eggs. You then
know in advance what the prospects of
a hatch are.
Digests what you eat.
This preparation contains all of the
digestants and digests all kinds of
food. It gives instant relief and never
fails to cure. It allows you to eat all
the food you want. The most sensitive
stomachs can take it. By itsuse many
thousands of dyspeptics have been
cured after everything else failed. It
is unequalled for all stomach troubles.

Tlie Size of Runs.
Houses and runs should be in propor
tion. It is seldom that the yards are
large enough for the houses. In cities
and villages it is no unusual sight to
see a good sized house and a run no
larger than the house in the area cov-
’ered. The result is a perfectly bare
and often du?<ty ground plot. The area
of the yard should be at least ten times
that of the house in which the birds
are kept, and if the yard is still larger
it will not be of excessive size. In
fact, it is best to have the area of the
run so large that It will remain green
through the entire growing season.—
