grown to approximately $9,000,000
among the institutions already in op

Secrets of the Seven Seas Told
by “Bottle Papers”
To learn tHe speed apd direction of
ocean currents, government experts use
“bottle papers.” Accurate knowledge of
these drifts is important to navigation,
and the safety of hundreds may depend
upon it, Small slips, with directions for
their return printed in the principal lan
guages, are given to ship captains, to be
sealed % in flasks and thrown overboard.
Months or yeais later, some return. One
floated nearly across the'Atlantic and
back, and another crossed the widest part
of the Pacific in a little over two years. A
third, dropped near the Cape of Good
Hope, was picked up on the western coast
of Australia.

Sand for Railroads* Safety Costs
Millions Yearly
While big figures are used in telling the
cost of safety to the railways, the amazing
item to the - average person is the
amount spent for sand, Four torn are re
quired for every mile of road in the
United States, nccordin%to the figures of
one trunk line-with 7,500 miles of track.
As Hus road is in the middle west and
south, where mountains are not encoun
tered, the figured given are regarded as
conservative. The cost of putting the
sand into the engine box is placed at 82 AO
a ton as mi average minimum. For all
the roads, the yeariy oost is estimated at
$2,637,070. For the most” part the sand is
brought from river bottoms and dried by
waste steam at the round house.

Under-Glass Plan
for Young Plants
Protection That Speeds Up
Growth and Produces
Sturdy Sprouts.
Glass, even if it be only a fragment
•f a window pane with which to cover
a. small seed box, or an old tumbler
to set over a cutting in a flower pot,
is one of the essential materials of
a plant grower In climates where there
is frost.
French gardeners raise acres' of
plants under “cloches,” or bell-shaped
glasses of various sizes, 'which set
over the individual plants to speed up
growth. Wonderful lettuce is grown
this way.
Glass keeps the heat in and the
cold out, while letting in sunlight.
This Is the chief principle of the hot
bed, which is an essential institution
tn a garden of any extent. The heat
usually furnished by fermenting horse
manure is conserved and fostered by

the blanket of nonconducting glass,
which does not allow it to escape rap
idly by radiation as would metal, or
even wood.
When a hotbed cannot be main
tained conveniently because of the
difficulty of securing a supply of fresh
horse manure as its foundation, a diffi
culty that is becoming more real each
year, a coldframe or heat less hot
bed can be used as a substitute, al
though it cannot* be uffßzed for a
month or six weeks after the hotbed
usually is at work.
Hotbeds may be artificially heated *
by steam or hot water pipes, but only
a few gardeners will be able to afford
such a luxury or will have a location
to permit it being used conveniently.
The construction of a hotbed is pot
at all complicated. In fact,, any frame
built to accommodate a glass coyer
may. be used, provided It is of suffi
cient extent to encourage fermentation
of raanurf. While It is best to use
the standard-sized hotbed sash sold
by all dealers, which are 6 feet by
5 feet each* old window sash may be
utilized for the purpose. r :.
Knockdown frames te bold this sash
are sometimes sold, but they can be
manufactured by any carpenter or by
the; gardener himself if be is at all
handy in the use of hammer, saw and
nails. The usual unit is 6 feet 2
to 3 Inches by 6 feet, accommodating
two standard sashes. The extra inches
are necessary to permit of the plac
ing of a cross strip between the
sashes upon which their inner edges
mpy rest firmly- This . crosspiece
usually b| grooved go that any mois
ture that may seep between the edges
of the sash and the crosspiece would
drain down the groove and not drip
into the bed beneath. ***
If the bed is to be permanently lo
cated it Is best to make the frame of
heavy lumber, 2-inch stuff that may
be bolted together with angle irons in
the comers. If ft Is to be temporary,

lighter to move and handle without
knockingdown the frame. The back
of the sash should be 18 inches high,
and the front 6 Inches to 10 inches.
Some types are 12 to 15 inches high
at the back and 8 to 10 inches in the
front* These, however, are only use
ful for seedlings and low growing
plants. The taller type will keep the
plants until they have attained con
siderable height and is also available
for a coldframe in which plants from
6 to 10 inches may be wintered.
A frame should always face the
south, with no houses, trees, or other
objects to cast a shadow over it or
cut off the sun. If sloping land can
be secured for the frame, it ia an added
advantage- if the land slopes to the
south, as it will give more direct rays
of the ins upon the glass. —National
