Most people put away their electric fans in the fail, thinking they will have no further nse for them until the warm weather arrives in the spring, but there is a simple arrangement which makes it possible to utilize the rlectrlc fan for blowing hot as well as cobl air. It is the invention of Edwin F. Porter of Boston, Mass., and can be used to heat rooms and offices wherever there is a gas Jet handy. It also keeps the air in circulation about the room, instead of allowing it to remain still and dead all day. In this apparatus the frame or guard which surrounds the blades of the fan is of hollow tubing and Is connected with a gas Jet by a rubber tube. The frame being perforated at intervals the gas Is ignited as it ilows from the openings, the resultant heat being driven about the room by the action of the fan blades. The inventor designs this heater especially for attachment to a thermo-electri- c fan, which runs solely with the aid of the gas, generating its own current for rotating the fan, but the frame can be readily attached to any electric fan with but little expense. of phosphates. There are immense fields of these, he says, to the east and west of the Jordan, only awaiting transportation facilities for their development. For Printing Photograph.

The stares of this cask may be made to burst apart by adding a very small quantity of water to what is already in the cask. As the cask is already full, some way of adding the water must be devised. To do tbls a hole is bored in the end or head of the cask ahda long tube of small diameter is Inserted upright. At the upper end of the tube is a snail funnel, into which water is poured until the tuba becomes full, and when that point is reached the cask will burst. This seems almost incredible, but it is only a demonstration of the law that has been cited. When the water is poured into the tube it unites with the water in the cask, and the depth of the water is vision of forestry, believes that the several times as great as it was in time has come for an extensive devel- the cask alone.

The fare of the tree naturally attracted attention to the phenomenon, and thereafter but too much opportunity was afforded for the study of it. At one point in the river lu particular the process was seen. Green trees covered with rich masses of foliage suddenly burst forth Into conflagration and burned to their very cores. Flue willows In full vigor poured forth clouds of stnoke from their half burned stems. An examination of the charred remains of the trees revealed nothing in the way of explanation, but as the trees whirh met their fates were for the most part young there could barely have been any putrescence or fermentation. Just why the willows should meet such sudden ends is not apparent, but the peculiar formation of the tree, its pliant boughs and the drooping of it 8 leaves and flowers may have had something to do with it OF TRANSPOSITION.
