“’hat the Words Mem Applied ‘to
Merchant and War, Vessel-
‘und Yachts.-
In these days of preparation for 'the
international yacht races one hears fre-
quently 'of water craft “going into
commission,” and it seems natural that
the landsman should .ask’: What does
the phrase mean?
The term, says the New York Trib-
une, has been misapplied, according to
the statement- of a shipping firm, when
used in connection with merchantmen.
A vessel built for trade .is “in business,”
or “laid up,” and the term “in com-
mission” is not applied to her except
by such people as they who go “up-
stairs” .and “downstairs” on a ship.
As to yachts, the same .authoritysaid:
“When the owner raises his private
signal and has commander and crew
aboard, the yacht is in commission, and
this does not happen until the vessel is
in condition to go on a cruise.”
lVar vessels are in commission when
the commanding officer’s flag or pen-
nant has been hoisted at the main, and
f-this again indicate§ that the vessel is
in active service. '

the paper is in place, put back the earth
about it and tie the top of the paper
closely to the tree. — Orange [Judd

Probably it is not generally known to
manufacturing chemist-s in the United
States that this country has vast re-
sources in lithium mineral which have
never been exploited, says a writer in
the Engineering .and Mining Journal.
Lithium is classed as one of the rare ele-
ments, .and is indeed rare in its metal-
lic form, but its compounds are not
rare in occurrence or commerce. We do
not know what. their usefulness might
be if their supply were large andvcheap,
but at present the use of lithium salts,
especially the carbonate, is chiefly in
the preparation of lithia water, which.
is used extensively for medicinal pur-
poses in such diseases as rheumatism,
due largely to an excess of uric acid in
the system. There are some natural
lithia waters, but a good deal of what is
f'fi'ou at 'lith-hiumwcarfidiidte‘foi‘”this'pfi-
pose in the United States is variously es-
timated at from 40,000 to 200,000 pounds
per-annum, all of which is obtained
from Germany. The average valueof
the salt at New York in 1898 was $4.22
per pound. Consequently, it is evident
that there is a good business in sight
for some one who will undertake its
manufacture in this country, although
it should not be expected that the price
'would keep up if the supply were in»
creased largely.

Mem‘co, says Stray Stories.
. Some months ago one of the habitual
i-evolutionary flareups was about. to
commence in one of the belligerent lit-
tle South American presidencies which
masquerade under the title of republics.
A couple of hundred men, marshaled
in opposition to the government, swore
‘ solemn oaths'ii’and met nightly invan
abandoned but .at- the entrance to a
swamp.
Enthusiasm was plentiful, but arms
were scarce, so a purse was made up
and three [of the party sent off to buy
ammunition. ‘
They went to Mexico, where acargo
of powder was delivered to them, and
after inspection was shipped to. the
revolutionary headquarters. A'signal
gun was mounted on a. hilltop, and
when the day and hour arrived the field
marshal of the revolutionary army
touched a match to the fuse of the piece.
There was no response. The marshal
used all the matches in his silver match
'box, but the gun refused ‘to fire.
An investigation by the “war office”
followed, and the cargo of powder
proved to be nothing but mahogany
sawdust, 'which had been vigorously
stirred up with powdered gnaphite to
give it the proper color and appearance.

Early and late frosts are disliked by
farmers, but such frosts do more harm
to insects than the severe cold of win-
ter, as they catch many insects out of
ground or. just below the surface. It has
been noticed that when the winters are
severely cold, and the ground remains
frozen until well into spring, insects
are more numerous the following sum-
mer than when the winters are mild.
It is the alternate freezing and thawing
that does the damage to insects, es-
pecially when there is a warm rain
followed by a sudden freezing of the
ground below the surface.
Black Seedless Grape Wanted.
Will some one develop a black seed—
less grape? We have white seedless
grapes, but suitable only to the climate
of California, and now we want a good
black grape without seeds. Such a
grape would sell at a fancy price on
the market. The fear of appendicitis
causes many people to. take out the
seeds when eating grapes, and this
greatly detracts from the pleasure of
grape eatino. A grape of the charac-
ter described would bring a good deal
more than the common grape—Farm-
