Tiled nil around the room* are little pasteboard boxes, each filled with wheat or flour, and each hearing a label. The ‘dough man* takes the half-pound of wheat In one of the boxes,- puts it in a small hand-mill and grinds It. The bran and starch aroqrtickly washed out, leaving tho gluten, which is worked into a sort of paste, small oven, and,the height to which i t rifles determines the value for bread- jraaking of. the consignment of wheat of which the handful ground was a sample. . “When tho attention of Electrician Hughes, who lias charge of tho electrical plant of the mill, was attracted to this baklug oven, he observed that it took a long time to heat it to tho baking point by means of the oil-lamps under it, and bo a t once formed tho idoaof baking tho gluten by electricity, -with the result that ho has just applied a most interest­ ing, little device, which in its-way is quite a wonder. “Tho millers had always had trouble to securo an ovon that would do this work satisfactorily, and tho best ono they could buy came from England. I t is about fourteen inches in height, with a cement bottom two inches in thickness, and a door twelve inches high, I t took one hour and forty miuutea to beat this oven to the 500 degrees Fahr, necessary „ for baking tho glntou, and then when tho largo door was opened to put in tho gluten, aboutdOQdegrees of temperature would, be lost, and It required fifteen minutes to hake tho dough. • “ In tho Hughes ovon tho small piece of gluten .is placed in a cylindrical brass case, about an inch in diameter, which Liuturn is. placed In tho ovon, also cylin­ drical in form, and a t a temperature of 5t)0 degrees tho gluten, is baked in four minutes, tho entire operation of heat­ ing tho oven and halting requiring less than twelve minutes, Tho tost of the gluten is In the height to which it will rise. In tho little cylindrical tubo is placed a plunger bearing a weight of cloven and.a half ounces, pressed down,; closely on tho gluten, which, In rising, carries the’woight upward. Tho, higher it lifts it In tho tubo, the stronger arc, the bread-making qualities of the wheat { from which the gluten was takon, and tho milling of tho proper proportiona of the different grades of wheat; as deter­ mined by the gluten tests, produces the required standard of flour. It is in this way that tho brands arc kept ovon. Mr. Hughes simply connects bis ovon with the regularoloetrls current' In the mills, add acquires tho desired result without tiresome and expensive delay. -Itc an bo heated to C80degrees. ” dMA uum |MGAI a A%I- .... .. ____ *r*w DM*i«fr The Ytoreet Grove P(*aky*erfaa negation fa In lack, *9d*ll It* mem­ ber* promise fa become rich through * •trike In oil made on * few acres of ground ■unrounding tho rlokety old chapel called a ohuroh, *aye • Pitts­ burgh dlipatcb to tho Han Franolaoo Chronicle.

M r CWrlad O IT tk r B m n . The queerest loss by "high water ever heard of in the Pine Creek Country, where disostroiia floods are common, was tha t of Holey Ferenbmw, of Kottlo Flats, writes a Bsiloy’s Mills (Ps.) cor­ respondent of the Now York Sun. Fer- cnbaw was damaged by the recent flood In Kottlo creek fa tbo extent of seven bears, large and small. Ferenbaw is a hunter, and ho got it into his head last spring that bo could make a good thing by raising boars for the market, tho an­ imals to ho delivered alivo or dead, ac­ cording to tho taste of the buyer. Act­ ing on that Idea ho bent all bis ingenu­ ity as a trapper in capturing bears alive, and his first prizo was an old she bear and her two cubs, Feronbaw had built a big log in c lo su ro on the flata near his cabin, and he turned bis bears in it. At different times Bines bis first capture ho added eleven other bears, young and old, fa his first capture. Of these, threocubs, whose mother be could riot get, died for want of proper nourishment, One old bear worked a hole between two logs in efforts to escape, got bis head fast in It end choked himself to death, Two# yearlings got In a fight over their din- *er one day. One was killed by his combatant, but.the latter wa* so badly hu rt th*t he hod fa be shot. That left FerenbaW with hi* originslold bear and box two cubs, grown to fat and glossy fellows big as a Newfoundland dog, and four other bears of various sites. The big rains of a week or so ago ralqed the creek higher than It had ever been known before, and * mill dam two or three hundred yards above Ferenbaw's bear pen broke away. The water rushed down, covered •the flat* and carried away the pen, bears and all. The old bears, it is supposed, succeeded in stem­ ming the food and escaping fa the woods a t favorable points along the oroek. The two cubs, however, wet* drowned, their bodies being found in a pile of driftwood three miles below Feronbaw’* when th e water abated. Ferenbaw valued b it bears a t from Si* to *w apiece. He will rebuild his pea and begin re*looking i t atonoe. . f a i i w CUm P re s* Warnl**. “We have decided fa take a trip North,” writes a Georgia editor, “and during our absence the paper will be in ©barge of our wife.
