The "human element" has been a great deal talked about in con- nection with the recent railway dis- asters; but the lnssot element" is ll an equally important y factor to be reckoned with on railway lines abroad. In South Africa, for example, the locusts are the particular pests, as they swoop down on to the lino in myriads, and, as the wheels of the engine crush them, the rails be- come so excessively slippery that it is frequently impossible to negoti- ate an incline without the liberal use of sand. Another kind of insect danger was illustrated in Kentucky two years ago, when, during the height of the holiday season, a swarm of angry wasps invaded the signal - man's cabin just as he was about to change the points to enable an ex- press excursion train to pass. He was stung to the point of eol- lapse over face, arms, and neck; but the screech of the oncoming ex- press brought him to his senses in the nick of tins, and, pluckily mak- ing for the levers, he was able to save that express from crashing in- to a freight train on the same line. It was another holiday express train which was a short time ago brought to a standstill at Minden, Germany, the line not being sig- nalled clear, The signalman found it impossible to get a certain lover to work, and the train had to wait. An examination subsequently show- ed that a large rat had got entang- led in the mechanism, and might have occasioned a disaster. Insects have even interfered with the railway system of England, for, on one occasion, the fine electric turret clock at Wolferton Station, on the Great Eastern Railway, was stopped through swarms of flies get- ting between the dial and the glass covering, thus preventing the hands from working. Again, Burgess Hill railway -sta- tion, Sussex, was, not very long ago, dominated for; many ]fours by a swarm of angry bees, whose hive bad been inadvertently smashed on the platform, and who stung the porters badly and caused a mild panic among the passengers. Minimize scandal in the home of your neighbor and, pulverize it in your own. Hf NEW SORT OF DIVINING ROD. The Phonendoscope Reveals the Presence of Water. A German invention, the "phon- endoscope,'' for locating under- ground streams of water, is des- - eribed in Himmel and Erde, The apparatus, which is not unlike the sounding board of a gramophone, is intended, like the ordinary steth- oscope, to collect and intensify sound. A certain scientific man was led to experiment with this new device after an experience in well -digging where the underground source had sufficient volute to be faintly audi- ble to fhb unassisted ear. His experiments were quite suc- cessful. When ho -put the instru- ment on the ground, about ten yards from a spring, he could' hear a faint murmur of running water, and this sound grew stronger or weaker as lie moved the phonendo- scope in various direotaans, 'The conclusion was unavoidable, that the sound was loudest when the. ooutt'ivanoe was directly i1liove the underground current of the spring. He made tests on an isolated moun- tain pe:ait, where it was extremely improbable that water would he found, As he expected, no sound was heard. Lastly, the inventor tried to find with his instrument a subterranean current in the neighborhood of a new ]louse whose owners wished to avoid the delay of sinking trial - Well shafts.

If cows are fed at stated intervals they will not worry for food until the time for feeding arrives. If it is then given to them in proper quantity, they will eat and lie down, chew the cud and sleep or rest eon- ten•tedly until time for another feed. It"irst give the grain mixture, and milk the 0013.5 while they are eat- ing it. This routine is recommend - eel because, with some cows, the milk oomes more freely while they are eating that portion of their ration which has the most relish. Cured roughage should be fed after milking, because it fills the air in the barn with dust: Sucoulentfeed, litre silage and roots, should also be fed after milking, because of the odor that it gives. Feeding twice a day will bring better returns than more frequent and wasteful feeding. Give half fills concentrates and half the roughage in the morning and half in the evening. Cows will 075100 become accustomed to this routine. In the winter they should be allow- ed to spend the day in the stall, and for two or three hours about mid-day they should not be disturb. ed Turning them out into the yard or giving them access to a straw stack or field of cornstalks will cause them to shrink in milk, 11 no matter ter 0w much or how well and n theymaybe fed in the morning eveing. No more feed should be given them than they will eat up. The mangers 'should be absolutely clean and free from any feed during the day and night. What au Atm of Fruit Contains. It is not generally known how much fertilizer a crop of apples, pears or grapes will remove from the soil. An acro of apples, pro- cueing 380 barrels, removes from the soil 24 pounds of nitrogen, two pounds of phosphoric acid and 21 Pounds of potash, all valued at $5,74. An acre of pears, yielding 335 bushels, removes sixteen pounds of nitrogen, five pounds of phospho- ric acid and fourteen pounds of pot- ash, total value $3.60. Grapes harvesting 8,160 pounds per acre, contain thirteen pounds of nitrogen, five pounds of phosphoric acid, 22 pounds of po't'ash, worth 53.61. Of peaches, the report is not complete, but the yield per acre is 335 bushels, containing eight pounds of phos- phoric acid and ten pounds of pot- ash.
