NAPLES, ITALY. The recent terrible cloud-burst that struck the region about the Uay of Naples wrought great devastation in several places, the worst sufferer being the town of Casaralcclola, part of which was overwhelmed by great rocks and debris carried down by torrents frora Mount Epomeo. Isciia also was badly damaged. In various places the aqueducts thrbugh which the drinking water flowed wer rendered useless. Relief work began at once and has been carried on with marked efficiency.

MAN-EATERS THERE

Cannibals Still Remain in Australian Desert. Not Many Visitors to Australia Tempt- ' ed to Penetrate Center of Country Everybody Says It's Vast Unexplored Region. I New York. If you have a mind to visit Australia it might be just aa well to keep away from the center of the continent, according to D. C. Cameron, a Scotchman who has lived out there for 20 years and who is now at the ImperiaL Especially would Mr. Cameron be disposed to recommend that jou refrain from traveling alone. Why? Cannibals. Not that many visitors to Australia are tempted to penetrate the center of the country. Everybody says It's a vast unexplored region, a desert But sometimes a man goes out prospecting and Is never heard of again, and then down to civilization come tales of how the" bones of what had apparently been a white man had been found bleaching about the remains of ft. camp lit and then bit by bit the tract comes out that the solitary seekr I r for gold had fallen Into the hands f seme of the first families of the our. try and made a contribution to the aboriginal table d'hote. It wasn't to tell about this that Mr. Cameron came to New York. He Is a sober, practical business man, and he Is In the United States to eo how piilk Is manufactured here. Not the calcereous beverage obtained by treatment of disaphanizomenated aqua crotona that used to find a ready market bere before some New Yorkers had heard about cows, but powdered milk. They are going to start a new manufacturing industry In Australia and Mr. Cameron is the general manager pf the company and he Is traveling to get points. Our factory is being built at a place about 123 miles from Melbourne, said Mr. Cameron. "Within a radius of four miles from It there are yielded every morning from. 160,000 to 170,000 pounds of milk. That, of course, is a kreat- cattle country; and there are a lot of butter factories. Of course a 'great part of the milk produced Is concursed by the butter factories; In the 'pprlng the supply Is such that the jvaste cannot be consumed by the halves and pigs In the neighborhood, la which it Is fed. We are building a plant to cost $75,000, and an English Engineer is Installing machinery. ' I nave been visiting factories in Canada And Syracuse and I am now going over to England to study the process there. We shall begin on a small scale, but we expect the far east to furnish great market. t "Big holdings of land in Victoria are rapidly going out, the big estates being rapidly divided into . smaller properties and sold off. Just a month tefore I left an estate of 12,003 acres was divided up and sold, and a great ieal of it realized $400 an i :re. This was not for city lots, mind you, or orchard land, but for what had been jdairy land for some years. A curious thing about the sale was that the people who bought were all residents of the district "What we call the bush is not so ;ar from Melbourne on one side," said Sir. Cameron In answer to a question. In fact, It lies only about thirty miles :o the west The aboriginal Inhabitants are very few now and most of them re kept In colonies by the government corresponding somewhat to your Indian reservations. In parts of (western Australia, I should say near the center of the continent, the blacks pre savages, and like their bit of hujnan flesh at times. They are not a fighting lot and I don't be;leve they jkill and eat one another to any extent Imt an occasional prospector gets in iimong them and realizes his mistake 1 00 late.

HOBBLE SKIRT IS HER PROOF New York Woman Offer Garment in Evidence to Refute Charge of Kicking a Lady. New York. That a lady's feelings must b9 in a condition of more than trifling unrest when she will kick another lady Is a conviction to which Magistrate Hylan of the New Jersey avenue court adheres strongly. So when a lady complained to him the other day that she had been kicked by Miss Frances Stultz, No. 89 Sackman street he demanded proof. "I have proof enough," said Mrs. Bertha Lang, No. 19 Sackman street who said Ehe had been the kickee, "but I see no occasion for " "Of course not, of course not," said the magistrate, hastily. "I believe you when you say you believe you were kicked, but what has the defendant to say?" Miss Stultz swept Mrs. Lang -with a glance so glacial that icicles formed. ( "I have better, ays in which to spend my ime she said, "than by wasting f. Sticking faPse friends." "Yes," said the magistrate, "Mrs. Lang says she can show I should Ray Mrs. Lang says she can prove she was kicked." "Not by me," said Miss Stultz. "for on that day I wore a, hobble skirt Here it is." She placed on the magistrate's desk a bundle, and in the bundle was a hobble skirt "I am no acrobat" she said, modestly, "and unless you are an acrobat you can't, while wearing a hobble skirt, kick anybody." Mrs. Lang looked a,t the skirt "My goodness, Frances," she said to the defendant, "what a pretty pattern. Did you get It at a sale?" Miss Stultz' only reply was a glance colder, if possible, than Its predecessors. The magistrate dismissed . the case, saying even a mere man could tell that- kicking in a hobble skirt Is a thing that is not and cannot be. . TRAIN BACKS Two Women Have Their Own Sweet Way in Farewell Greetings to Departing Friend. Minneapolis, Minn. A matter of tremendous importance stopped an outgoing train to Chicago about 8 a. m. the other day. The train even backed again into the station, the matter was so very important And Joo Kilgrlff, the caller, hasn't' got over his astonishment yet Just as the train began to move, two women, bearing a small parcel, dashed madly toward the gates. "Is that the Chicago train?" they cried. "It Is," said Kilgrlff. "Stop it! Oh, stop It!" begged the women. "Oh, it must be stopped!" It happened that there was a big crowd of university boys at the station, waiting for th football team to get It Inspired by feelings of gallantry, they began to yell: "Stop the train! Stop the train! Stop the train!" The conductor came out on the observation platform. The station was In an uproar, and the two women were running desperately towards the train. The conductor hesitated, grabbed the rope and yanked it The train stopped and began to back in. 3lowly, while a woman also appeared cm the observation platform. Tno two women rushed to the car.

A long-handled, double-action cement tTowel has been designed to take the place In concrete sidewalk instruction of the ordinary hand yr y: m, vi'i m New Idea In Concrete Trowels. trowel, thus providing an implement by which surfaces can be finished without the necessity of stooping over, says Popular Mechanics. Tho new trowel smoothes the surface both ways, working with a push and pull movement As the operator moves it back and forth, the edges are automatically raised to prevent Its digging into the mortar. TOOL HAS GREAT MANY USES Whole Implement Is Ten Inches Long and May Be Carried in PocketLight in Weight If there is any cne tool that can be usd fcr more different, things than the article designed by a Pennsylvaiila man and shown here, the inventor is invited to produce it This implement has so many uses that it Is impossible to give it a generic name or remember everything it can do. In the first place it Is in two parts, hinged, and forms a pair of pincers. On one arm is a hammer head with Tool Has Many Uses. - a nail pulling attachment, and on the ether arm Is a tooth that can be useo' for an ice pick or for similar pur-1 poses. The longer arm terminates in a screw driver and' has a square hole In which nuts can be tightened. This same arm is also divided into a. threeInch rule.

OF ARTIFICIAL DYES How German Chemists Have Outdone Nature Synthetic Indigo Now r Commercial Success. There was a time when India proiuced large quantities of Indigo every rear on plantations. The planters were warned that over in Germany Chemists were at work making indigo, but they only laughed. Then the an'aouncement came that synthetic indigo, made in the laboratory, was a commercial succefcs. It was absolutely the same us the natural indigo, only, if anything, a little bit purer. Now India no longer supplies the world with lndiLo. A German laboratory makes the whole supply, and evn India buys from Germany. There was a time when large areas In France wer devoted to the cultivation of madder root, from which the red dye alizarine was made. Again a German chemht Improved upon nature and made artificial alizarine at a cost of less than one-third that of the natural product It wasn't an Inferior imitation; it was the real thing. Nitrate From Chile. During the nitrate year ending June 50 the Chilean fields produced 2,260,900 tons of nitrate, an increase of 420,000 tons over 1908-09. Of this amount the United States consumed 109,000 tons, and the American market now ranges at about $42 a ton, a drop of $3 from last year. The production ia Chile Is now uninfluenced by a combine. Chinese Cement Works. Progress Is being made by the cement works started by Chinese capital at Canton in 1909. They cost $1.122,000. The monyy was drawn out of the pducation fund, to be repaid out of the rofits. " Fabric From Spruce Wood. An excellent fabric made from spruce wood pulp has been produced by a French Inventor and the first jaraples were exhibited at the recent meeting of the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers. Cloth woven from the fiber Is said to stand bleaching, dyeing and finishing as well as cotton and to have a more brilliant luster. It can be produced for much less cost than the market price of cotton, and arrangements are said to have been made for its manufacture on a large scale abroad.

NINE WATCHES MADE IN HOUR 1 Rapidity of Manufacture Made Possible by Reason of Ingenious Machinery for All Parts. It i? claimed that the methods of manufacture adopted by one American company enable Jt to set up, ready for trial within an hour, no fewer than nine watches. This rapidity of manufacture has become possible by reason of the Ingenious machinery Invented for the making of all the parts of a watch. The speed with which the various parts are turned out Is truly remarkable. Great sheet? of brass and steel are cut and rolled into ribbons, and punched out into wheels at the rate of 10,000 a day from each punching machine. Workers drill the 31 holes-In the roof of the watch as fast as thej can count, other operatives countersinking the holes almost as quickly. Brass wire glides Into a machine that measures off the length of a prt, turns It, puts a screw thread on each end. and actually screws it in at tho rate of 2,000 a day. The screws are so small that It is said 50 gross of them can be put in a thimble, while of others there are 1,000 gross to a pound. Balances are cut from the solid steel, ground down, worked up, and drilled with their 23 screw holes apiece at the rate of 100 wheels a day from each machine. Wheels have their teeth cut, a couple of dozen at a time, some with CO to SO teeth, tt the rate of 1,200 wheels a day from each machine.

TO SCRUB AND OIL FLOORS Machine invented to Provide Mori Convenient Method Than Present Back-Breaking Plan. In order to provide a more con venient method of scrubbing floor than the back-breaking operation thai now prevails, an inventor has im provlsed a scrubbing machine thicb Scrubbing and Oiling Floors. consists of a pair of scrubbing brushes secured to a long handle and supporting a receptacle for water says Scientific American. A valve is provided at one side, which may be operated by the foot to regulate the feed of the water. If desired, the brushes may be removed and replaced wf.h rubbing or polishing deVices and the reservoir may be filled! with nil, if it be desired to oil th floor. - Platinized Glase. Platinized glassas is well known acts as a mirror on the Illuminated side, but appears like ordinary glass tc persons on the darker side. As window panes it serves the ; usual purpose, while persons oh the outside cannoi see into the house. Various tricks with this glass have been causing amuse men in France. In one of these a person approaches a mirror to note his appearance, when suddenly the mlrroi disappears and a grotesque figure stand before the startled spectator this ef feet being produced by f.Imply turn5.g on illumination behind the glass. Ordinary glass may be readily platinized. A solution of a platinum salt is applied thinly to the surface, and the glass Is then heated to redness, causing the platinum to be taken up and impart the curious properties mentioned. The glas loses none of its transparency on the side opposite the stronger Illumination. , Earthquake-Proof Construction. A new method of fire-proof construction for small buildings has been Invented in response to the growing demand. Steel tubing filled with con crete Is used for the frame, and a network of wire for the basis of walls, floors and roof. On this skeleton a concrete house of such strength can be built that, it Is claimed, it will be practically earthquake-proof. SIx-lnct pipe, steel wire and expanded metal malleable iron fittings and -cement arc the materials used. The wires are strung to a tension of 1,000 pounds and bind the whole together witt enormous solidity.' On them the con crete la spread three inches thick lr spans not exceeding 10 feet Construction Is fo simple that unskilled labor can be largely used. Make Sounds Nearer Trje.

MAKE MONEY WITH LEGHORNS New Jersey Plant Carries 5,000 of This Breed Mammoth Incubator Holds 6,000 Eggs. Some weeks ago I wrote that I visited a plant in New Jersey carrying 10,000 White Leghorns. While visiting this it was my good fortune to see also a plant adjoining which carried ü.OOO White Leghorn hens. This plant was owned by one person, and comprised 240 acres, of which about 0 acre3 of the poorest land was devoted to chickens, for which the rest of the farm grew feed. I was shown all over the plant la one building, which consisted of the r7 n - Prize S. C. White Leghorn. same type of house that I saw on the neighboring farm, containing 500 of selected breeders which were being trap-nested; the rest of the hens were sheltered l& the same style of house, writes F. A. Tiffany, In Country Gentleman. I also noticed about 2,000 as good-looking pullet3 as I ever saw. There were also about 2.000 cockerels, of which the owner Intended to pick the best for breeding purposes, and dispose of the remainder as broilers. What appealed to me most was the cleanness of the houses and the mammoth incubator which heb 6.000 eggs. Being used to oil-seated incubators myself, I was somewhat skeptical, so asked the owner several questions as to the regulation of the heat In the different chambers; I received the assurance that the machine did the work n(cely and at a big saving In fuel. On leaving, the station bound for horoc, I noticM a goodly number of crares of eggs and poultry, and found that this fafm alone was shipping Ight crates of eggs and four coopa of broilers. These eggs were produced that day, as : they were shipped every evening and the eggs arrlred In New York and were sold before they were a day old. Not only was this breeder successful as a poultryman, but as a farmer alto, his tfie1d8.of corn, alfalfa and mangel beets looking , very well considering the dry veatber. The corn wg the best-looking field that I saw cn my trip through that portion of the state. I wa3 told that the owner would not have to buy . any tood for Ills fowls except meat scraps, this frlone saving the greater part of his expenses. The appearance of the plant in general and the condition of the stock and the cniantlty of produce shipped showed without a doubt that the owner of this farm was deriving a proCt from his plant CARE OF TURKEYS IN FALL When Weather Begins to Turn Cold Grain Ration of Bird Should Be Increased. As soon as the weather begins to turn cold and fod becomes scarce the grain ration of growing turkeys should be increased. A mixture of wheat and corn is advisable, fed sparingly at first and gradually Increased till tbc7 are getting all they will eat Tho turkeys at this season Rhould be fed regularly thtee times a day. They should on no account be kept In confinement, but Should have free range to encourage the formation of a good frame on which to accumulate a lare amount of flesh later when forced feeding commences. While free nrnge conduces to vigor and growth, Mrds having grain feed will not run C?I all fat In a too strenuous search fwr sustenance. Those designed for heavy feeding should be in !"Jie best condition arter 'an abundance of exercise and plenty of grain feed throughout the early foil. As soon as they are well accustomed to graft feed they may be fed once or twlco of even trice a day, as their condition indicates, on ground oats (with r"Ulls removed) and corn meal mixed nith milk. Feed only the amount of tHs they vrlll eat up clean with a relish. This snash should be given in addition to a full feed of wheat and torn night and morning. Tho mash may either be given at noon or at two regular Intervals between the morning and night meal. Plenty of rlt and fresh water should be before them at all times. The qunlity of the flesh Is vastly Improved by adding tallow or some form of ?at to the mash, during the last week of fattening. Old "corn is the best for turkeys on heavy feed, and if fecessary to use new corn i' should be given gradually and the birds wAtched that it does not. throw them oft their feed. Liver trouble Is cne of the turkey weaknesses, and forcrt feeding should never continue more vtian three weeks for best results. Birds designed for tho Christria nrarket should be placed oa feed Decenfber 1. Exercise Is Beneficial. Kep your chicks rustling scratching ffir the food, it gives them exercise, and that means health, strength and vigor, besides it is natural for them to scratch and as close as possible to nature's lines Is the best way to raise anything. Sand and Gravel for Grit. A load o': sharp sand, or small gravel woflld be a good investment, and ßhculd be obtained before too late; also a pile of crockery for grit, either broken into bits now, or else stored to bs broken as needed. Ccst of Production. It costs about eight cents a dozen to produce eggs, even when all food is bought at present prices, and much less, of course., when one raises his own food L, .

GUINEA FOWL EGG PRODUCER

Cross Between Pearl and White Seemc to Make Hardier and Larger Bird Than Full Blood. Last spring 1 undertook to krep aa account of the eggs laid by two Pearl guineas and cne white guinea hen. I have ICS eggs to their credit already, says a writer in Country Gentleman. The two Pearl hens were broken up and some eggs were lost early in the season; though they laid a nestful of eggs and went to setting I did not find the nest and so did not get an account of them, but I feel safe in estimating 40 eggs lost for which I have no account. The hens got broken up and la about three weeks I found them with a nest of 30 eggs. Counting the ones lost at 40, this brings my account up to 208 eggs for three hens. I feel sure that the two Pearl hens laid four-fifths of the 208 eggs, which would make them 83 eggs each. The white hen i did not lay many eggs. I expect to ; get at least 40 eggs yet before cold weather. Guinea hens will usually lay from April until late in October and if kept broken up(when they get broody, they will lay nearly every day. The write hens do cot seem to be nearly as good egg producers as the Pearls, at ' least my walte hens have not done as good a busJuess a3 tht PpnrI hns A t cross between the two breeds seems to riake a hardier and larger guinea tha& Tad b'ood of either. SIMPLE TRAP NEST FOR HENS Not Much Trouble to Arrange Box That Will Allow Breeder to Keep Tab on His Fowls. . It is not a great deal of trouble to make a trap-nest that will answer the purpose of keeping tab on biddy. Any box about 1-1 inches square and. tvo feet long will be good enough. A little study of the pictures herewith shown will show one how they should be made. Nail the slats to the cross piece about three-quarters of the distance from the bottom. hangIn the crosspiece on a couple of nails driven through the sides of the

Nest Open. box. The crosspiece should work easily. Inside of the box, about half-way back, nail another piece of narrow board and arrange the nest back of that The trap is simply set by raising the slats inward from the bottom eight or nine inches and propping it up with a small stick. When the hen goes poking along; Nest Closed. .. into the box her back raises the slats and allows the stick to fall down; and as she passes through, the trap drops behind her. A similar door can be put in the back of the' box. and in this way the hen canjliberate herself. Chlcken-tlce .Experiments. Chicken lice will live off the fowl! body for a considerable length of time and specimens of the wandering lice have been kept alive in boxes by experimenters for a period of nine or tea months by simply giving them a supply of fresh feathers at regular Intervals. On the clothing of poultry pick ers the lice will sometimes live fci several days. It Is not believed by the entomologists that the bird lice commonly attack cattle or horses, as they have often been credited with doing. In nearly every case the lice found on animals said to be so affected wer mammalian lice and not bird lice. Spray the Perches. Down under the ends of the perches Is a splendid place for the pests tc hide that just about take the life out of the biddies. Never spray the houst that you do not lift these perches anc" give them a dose, no matter whethei you see anything allv there or not Be there before the lice are. Hen Is Finest Bird. Farmers are more and more gettlni behlnc the old hen. They never wllJ miss It The hen 13 the finest bird ia the world today. Hens dread to get into dirty nesl boxes. ' Boiled onions are good for chlckena and men. The poultry house should be whit washed before cold weather. The experienced poultryman breeds only to his best winter layers. Poorly bred stock of any kind la never la great source of profit Start the trap nests so that it can be known which are the best wintei layers. Work up a strain of hens that will lay. Save the egg3 from the best layers and set them. Rather than have the poultry house overcrowded you had better eat some of the less desirable birds." Owing to the. difficulty of securing fresh eggs, most of the mining companies in Mexico have their own poultry yards. Keep your hens from straying over on the land of your neighbor. Be particular about this if he has any croc growing there. Now Is a very good time to save out the best pullets to take the place of the discarded bens this fall. The fowls thatare small for their age should go now. Their room Is ot more value than their company. Before it is too late gather up a barrelful cf dry earth, so that a boi ful or two of dust may be giyen the fowls in their houses during the win ter. Remember to give your hens animal food in some form. It may be milk, meat, cut green bone, beef scrap and for a small flock the table waste may have meat enouxh.
