TO RESTORE OLD P1INTIKGS
Marvelous Results Obtained by
' Frenchmen In Experiment With
EleetricM Currents
strang case has been going on
tor some time In the Paris law courts
concerning a process for restoring old
paintings claimed to have been In-
vented by a prisoner who Is being
prosecuted on the charge of having
obtained money on the pretext of the
success of the method This method
Is a mysterious kind of application of
electrlo currents to the pictures In
question
The prosecution seemed to have
strong argument at first but now the
state of the case has suddenly
changed elnce the well-known paint-
er M Tony Robert-Fleury a former
president of the Societe des Artistes
Francale has come forward and given
evidence In favor of the prisoner M
Fobert-Fleury said that the prisoner
had long been a pupil of his and he
had witnessed some experiments The
results were really marvelous
"They seemed to me extraordinary”
said M Robrt-Fleury “He sent cer-
tain current through the picture
which caused an exudation Ho ab-
sorbed this with cotton waste The
painting Is restored to a virgin state
without being in the least deteriorated
All the black oily grease 1 eliminat-
ed and thd painting Is revarnished
with astonishing rapidity I gave him
an old portrait of my father out of
my studio It was In a terrible state
of grease accumulated by age In
‘half an hour It was cleaned of all oily
matter and restored to freshness
The leaden salts were eliminated and
the color cams back to the plcutre
which Is now saved’’
Emigrants Prove Ungrateful
The members of the emigration sub-
committee of the Birmingham distress
committee report that they experience
difficulty In securing repayment of the
amounts advanced to emigrants al-
though many of the person assisted
are now well able to repay Since
1906 the committee have expended
$10000 In assisting emigration and
the repayments amount to $100 only
In each case the emigrant had entered
Into a bond to repay the loan
New Pyrometer

high temperatures consists of strips of
two fbetale rolled together into a spi-

Phonographs as “Central”
The Berlin telephone department is
making test with phonographs la or
der to notify subscribers that the line
Is not free so a to relieve the opera-
tors of this duty The results are said
to be very good
ever the 160 acree of education and
amusement to be found In the sixty
odd big buildings and barns at the
State Fair the little ones spend their
time at play as shown in the picture
made from an actual photograph
taken last year
Every precaution Is taken with the
little ease and nothing but the purest
milk la used The- same care Is takes
with regards to the water used and all
sorts of games are Indulged in
While the tiny tots are being looked
after In the Day Nursery the older chil-
dren will be allowed to play In the
pretty grove Work of preparing an
outdoor playground la now In progress

HOW TO BEAUTIFY YOUR LAWN
V
t t'
Profeeeer Major of University of Mis-
souri Give Home Landscape
Hints In a Lecture
Home landscape gardening— which
Is nothing more than making your
house and yard look so homelike and
Inviting that your friends instinctively
will want to drop In as they pass the
gate— Is not so difficult a matter as it
sounds That at least was the Im-
pression gained by 600 fathers and
mothers and children too who at-
tended the lecture given at Kansas
City Mo by H F Major instructor
In landscape gardening at the Univer-
sity of Missouri
“A well arranged home is very much
like a correctly composed picture”
Mr Major said “The sky is the back-
ground The bouse placed well back
in the middle distance is the focal
point — the natural resting point for
the eye
“The lawn spreading out from the
bouse is like the mat to the picture
and like a ploture mat should be kept
simple and unbroken Driveways and
walks are quite necessary but as they
are not decorative they shoulf be kept
to on side and not too wide
“Then comes the frame for the pio-
ture Trees and sburbs— plenty of
them— down the driveways and about
the house covering up- the founda-
tions and the sharp corners These
an the settings that hold the picture
together
Then the Important thing I to
keep the place cleaned up Grounds
need grooming as well as horses and
show the effects Just as much Clean-
ing up around a house Is like keeping
your clothes brushed — it gets to be a
habit”
Antiquity of Tobacco
The Idea that tobacco has only been
known to Europe since the discovery
of America Is Incorrect In fact the
Medes and Persians a long time be-
fore our era smoked narghiles as an-
cient scriptures prove A philologist
has suggested that the Greeks and
Romans smoked tobacco at least in
their colonies In the Malay arcblpol-
ago the use of cigars and cigarettes is
said to date much further back than
the discovery of America The word
“cigar" seems to show that man's
solace and comfort did not originate
in the West Indies but is most likely
derived from “sakara" an Arab word
meaning smoke
Wireless Telegrsphy
Wireless telegraphy having been ef-
fected between Canada aad Italy reg-
ular service between the latter coun-
try aud Argentina will be attempted
Teat For the Purity of Sugar
A simple test for the prity or sugar
is to burn It It pure Ore will en-'
ttrely consume It If adulterated It
will leave an ash
METHOD OF LAYING
An acre contains J60 square rods
Therefore one side of a square acre
should be the square root of this As
the square root runs into many deci-
mals some indirect method has to be
found of obtaining the proper measure-
menL The drawing will make clear
one of the most Ingenious methods and
one very little known to any but old
line surveyors It will prove valuable
to any farmer
First a square eight rods on a side
Is laid off Then from each corner
one aide is extended four rods more
Those last ends are now connected
MULES FOR THE FARM
Demand for First-Class Animals
Above the Supply '
Kentucky Breed Have Better Heads
and Action— Jennet Are Profitable
When Bred to Beet acki —
gave Farmer Moimy
I found n great difference between
the class of mules raised west of the
Mississippi from the draft marea and
those raised In Kentucky from trot
ting-bred mares says a writer In the
National Stockman The Kentucky
mule have better beads long thin
ears good necks and better action
Those bred from the draft marea have
short thick necks with heavy lop
ears The demand for first-class mules
Is above the aupply and four-year-old
weU-broken mules bring $360 to $706
per pair
Maine lumbermen have two repr
tentative in the west buying the beet
mulee they can find paying $600 to
$700 n pair for them This means $700
to $1000 a pair by the time they reach
the lumber camps A friend of mine la
the buyer for a large coal company
thaf usee tbousande of mules He
scours the west In search for mulea
for the miners There Is a market
for mules wherever there Is hauling
He fills a place In the mines lumber
camps railroads and on the farm He
fills a place which no other animal can
fill and there Is nothing In sight to
take bis place
Mules are becoming scarcer all the
time Look around the country igl
see the stallions This means fewer
mules A Jack costs somewhere from
$600 to $1600 A four-year-old will
serve about 60 mares In a season A
three-year-old will grow Into money
and at six he Is ready for heavy Berr-
ies Jennets cost $400 to $500 each
Large ones weighing 1000 pounds or
over are very profitable when bred to
the very best Jacks In Kentucky
many breeders are mating Jennets to
the very best trotting stallions pro-
ducing hinnies No one could guesa
their breeding Recently I saw one
In Louisville that was a wonderful ani-
mal The owner bad refused $1000
for him His side was like seal skin
ears Uke rabbit's and be could trot
Care During Molting
The winter egg production will be
hastened It you will help the bene
along during and Immediately after
their molting period After the bens
have grown their new feathers it will
take them many weeks to recuperate
thetr weakened energies so they may
again produce eggs It they are left to
shift for themselves entirely end pick
up their meal as beat they can
Feed the bens well for at least a
time If they are to be wintered over
and pay you a profit during tb faU
and winter
- v Fruit Bud

Many farmers who have been grow
Ing fruit for year do not know that
the apple and most other fruit trees
form fruit buds In the late summer
months
in very dry weather fruit buds are
formed quite early and In case of a
wet change Into leaf buds
Most small fruit form their fruit

OFF A SQUARE ACRE
and an absolutely squire sere la the
result From the drawing this Is ovl
dent for the Inside square contains
64 square rods' and each triangle con-
tains 24 square rod (base times one-
half the altitude or 12 times 4 divided
by 2) So four times 24 Is 96 which
added to 64 give the requisite 160 It
will be readily seen that the placing
of one of tbo pegs outlining this
square acre Is an easy matter for they
each come at the and of a certain rod
on the chain Then the square acre
can be laid off without actually meas-
uring the aides at alL
In 2:20 A great many hinnies nr
being raised In the mountain districts
and they sell at prices ranging from
$250 to $400
A mule authority says: “There Is
nothing that walks that will beat am
old Jennet as a money-maker” Out In
Missouri when n farmer goes to tb
bank to borrow money tb benker
asker ‘How many mules have youT
The farmer says: ‘Fifty two-yearolds’
The banker says: ‘Tou can have
$5000’ As long as railroad's build lum-
ber to hauled or coal mined grow
mules Not one year but every year
Mr Mule will aave you money and pay
the mortgage on the farm”
