KEAESEY k PLUMB, m m 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- An Old Omnibus Utilized as a Home For Fowls. The accompanying cut, show r n here through the courtesy of The Farm Journal, Philadelphia, was from a pho tograph sent to that paper without any explanation as to its owner or loca tion. In addition to the regular hen house, which has a very neat, com fortable appearance, an old omnibus which has apparently outlived its use fulness in its first estate has been transformed into a sort of traveling hennery. Whether the owner has his hens so trained that at the cry of “All aboard!” they will climb in for a ride to fresh fields and pastures new we will leaye to our readers for their solu tion.

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.

Vv'e have seen several discarded street cars used for poultry aud an occasional abandoned freight ,ear.

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.

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.

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.— Exchange.
