PLANTS FOR H ,BASKETS.
What plants are most suitable for hang
ing baskets ? is an inquiry we- have berore
us. We have no special love fOr hanging
baskets, unless they are well got up and
kept in good condition. Most of the bas
kets we see around are unsightly things,
and look as though hanging wasn't much
better for baskets than for other folks. In
forming ornamental ,baskets, it is well to
remember, in the first place, that they will
not bear neglect.* A quart or two of earth
placed in a basket will very soon become as
dry as powder, even if not exposed to the
sun- Watering must, therefore, be attend
ed to frequently and regularly. The
amount of water and the frequency of ap
plication depend a good deal upon the
plants grown. A basket of Portulaccas
will endure drouth without suffering, that
would be sufficient to destroy many other
plants.
What we want in hanging, baskets are
plants of fine foliage and ai:Odhstlint sttpply
of flowers. For graceful foliage there is
nothing better than. _the trailing Money
Wort, Tysimachi Mumamlaria, with dark,
glossy leaves, and plenty of yellow flowers'
at blossoming time.
The Thunbergias are not excelled by any
plants we are acquainted with for baskets
and all like deconative.pitfpcises.' Theynie
trailing plants, foliage sped, flowers abun
dant, white, orange, with a
dark eye. There is, only one difficulty with
them, and this is not serious—the seeds
germinate rather;sloiyir, and: alMtri)e4 is
warm places.
Abronia Urnhellata is a beautiful plant,
with clusters of sweet-scented flowers, rosy
lilac, in oluitters like- the Verbena, which
the plant in its habit resembles very much;
flowers freely for along season. The only
difficulty with it is a lack of foliage, but
this defect is 'easily remedied by'
other
plants that abound, more in leaves and less
in flowers.
The Lobelias, all the, trailing varieties,
are splendid for basket work, and, in fact,
all in-door ornamentation. They will, not
bear the sun, but this is not expected of
basket flowers; and require a good deal of
moisure. When well treated, they give a
profusion of flowers.
All the Ipomeas and Convolvulus are
desirable for baskets, and as they are'not
exposed to the sun or usually to a bright
light, the common Morning Glory will have
expanded blossonni nearly the whole Any.
All such strong running , plants can' be
pinched back, and thus made' dwarf in
their habit for basket and oiler ornamental
work. The Tropeolums - may,also be:treated
in the same manner, and will give good
satisfaction.
The Loasas are very curious plants with
singularund pretty flowers, but the brancheh
are armed with atinging hairs that will
speak more emphatically to intruders than
any sign, "hands off."
The above are all trailing plants, and
sufficient to suit all tastes, though others
could be added. Many no doubt would
prefer the Verbena to some mentioned, and
the Maderia vine may be made to run up
the wires by which the basket is suspended,
with fine effect. For the centre of the bas
ket, plants of more erect habit will be
needed to give a full rounded appearance.
These should be depended upon mainly for
a show of brilliant flowers, while the trail
ing plants furnish the drapery.
The Nemophilas are very desirable ; pre
vailing colors, white and blue. Petunias
and Phlox Drummondii are unequaled for
brilliant show. Fenylia Dianthiflora, a most
delicate free-flowering little plant six inches
in height. Flowers reddish lilac with
crimson centre. Leptoriphous are excel
lent. For fragrance a little Mignionette or
Sweet Alyssum will be necessary.
Although we have giVen a pretty long
list to select from, we-would not advise
crowding plants. -Plenty of room should
be given for development. -Exchange.
ABOUT PEAT.
" Peat is the spongy substance found in
almost every country, filling up cavities in
the surface, and constituting what is called
bog. It varies in color from light brown
to black, and in consistency from that of a
bran paste to that of clay in the bank." It
is supposed to be formed by the decay of a
kind of swamp moss. Its onurrenoe is fre
quently indicated by the growth ,of dwarf
ish evergreens:and rank swamp, herbage,
and by the elasticity of the. crust which
supports them. To test a supposed peat
bed one has only.to dig a' little below the
roots of the herbage or trees, take out • some,
dry and burn it. If the swamp be covered
with water, a pole, having • a deep groove
along its side, may be thrust down, and
enough will be brought to the sutfice for
a sample. The best peat is that which,
other things being' eqaal, is the most dense.
Some kinds are almost as hard combus
tible as coal; others are like dried turf.
Much, however, that would not pay to
work for market, would answer for the far
mer s own use.
In working a peat bed, the first thing to
be done, if it is necessary, is to drain it. If
only a ittle is wanted, it , can generally be
taken out without drainage in the dryest
part of the summer. After removing the
surface, the peat is cut out in blocks, with
an instrument called the Wane. This tool
may be made by , a blacksmith; it has a
haitdle like a spade, and a blade about
eighteen inches long, bent down at right
angles through the middle.. This takes out
the peat in blocks very nicely, and - it is
Only necessary to dry them and store under
corer for use.-
Sometimes the peat is so brittle that it
will not admit of being taken out in plook a
with the alone. In that ease it is,sliqveliid
out; roots, stones and sticks •picked ant,
slid it is dried on the greeusward. It
!workede and trodden, like mortar, and when
dry it attains consistency enough to admit
of cutting into.blocks;
Peat is extensively used in Europe for .
fuel, We have no doubt but that it will
be profitable to resort to-it in many parts of
the West, where it may be abundantand
other fuel is scarce ; but it is not yet "estab
lished that 'be 'eitensfirely or econ
omically used kg fltel,ou railrpsols steap

USEFUL PLANTS,
A German author states that the number
of useful plants has risen to about 12,000,
but that others will no doubt be discovered,
as the researches yet made have been com
pleted only in portions of the earth. Of
these plants there are 1350 varieties of
edible fruits, berries and seeds; 103 cere
als ; 37 onions ; 460 vegetables and salads . ;
40 species of palms; 32 varieties of arrow
root, and 31 different kidds of sugars.
Vinous drinks are obtained from 200 plants,
and aromatics from 266. There are 50
substitutes lot- coffe.e;i land: ;129 , for tea.
Tannin is present in 140 plants, caoutchouc
in 96, gutta percha in 7, ropin•and balsamic
gums in 389, wag in 10, and grease and

47 soap, 250 weaving fibres; 44 fibres
used in paper making; 48 give roofing
materials, and 100 are employed for hur
dles and:copses. In . building, 740 plants
are used, and there are 615 known poistib
um plants. One of the- most gratifying
developments- is that, out of 278 known
natural families of plants, there are but 18
species for which no use has yet been dis
covered.--Ledger.
VENTILATE ; YOUR CHILDREN'S ROOMS.
Most parents, before retiring to rest,
make it a duty to visit the sleeping room bf

little ones. Biit if they leave the room

Poison is there, but slow and deadly.
Morning after morning do many little
children wake weary, fretful and oppressed.
" Wbat can it mean ?" " What can it be?"
the' mother cries. In despair she has re
course to Medicine. The constitution be
comes enfeebled, and the child gets worse.
The cause, perhaps, is never traced to
over-crowded sleeping-rooms without proper
air, bat it is nevertheless the right one,
An intelligent mother, having acquainted
herself with the principles of ventilation,
will not retire to her own room for the
night without having provided sufficiency
of air for her children, in the same manner
that she providea and regulates their night
eoveringi onany other requisite for refresh

lowering a window and at other times by
leaving„a.,49f wide,open, this end may be
attained.
In many houses, the day and night nur

DISCOVERIES AT SARATOGA.
In the Troy (N. Y.) Whig weAnd the
following curious account of investigations
which have lately been made in the bed of
one of the\Saratoga springs:
"High. Rook spring, Saratoga, which hall
long been regarded as a great natural cu
riosity, has recently been investigated
during the progress of excavations carried
on •to induce, if possible, the water to flow
over the opening in'the rock. The water,
without doubt, originally flowed through
the round orifice in the top, during the
formation of the rock, and• probably for
years subsequent to that. But ever since
the spring has been known, the water has
failed to reach the top of the rock, having
found some subterranean outlet. Since
the spring , passed into the hands of its
present proprietor, efforts have been in
progress, as stated above, to penetrate the
mystery, and cause the water to again
resume its ancient flow. 'The first has
already been- accomplished, and some very
singular facts been brought to light.
" A slight excavation has shown that the
rock only extended a few inches below the
surface, and it was easily removed. Within
it was a, chamber about two feet in di
ameter, and' below a pit formed by the
bubbling water, about ten feet in depth, in
which were foun,d a large number of tum
blers lost in dipping water. All around,
the soil was ' filled with encrustations
formed by
,deposits from the water; but
immediately beneath the rock lay the
body of a tree, eighteen feet in diameter;
which still retained its form, and was suffi
oientlin to- be sawed in sections' and
pulled ;ant. The tree, must have leen
befefe the 'formation of the surface-rock
commenaed, and had probably lain there
thousands of ,years. Several feet further
down; the body of an oak, eight inches in
diameter, was found, which had' suffered
very little decay.
" After reaching a depth of twelve feet,
it became apparent that a few inches more
would bring to view the crevice from which
this fountain unceasingly flows. Here the
work was stopped to procure a tube which
will bring the water to the surface of the
ground."
AN EXTENSIVE SALT MINE;
The ,New Orleans Times gives an ex
tended account of what is considered the
purest and most important natural deposits
of salt in the world, located on the coast of
Louisiana, at Petit Anse Island. The, de
posit was known ,as early as 1698-9, but
all knowledge- Of it appears to have beee
lost until' after the commencement of'the
recent war. During that period,., when
the supply from other sources was out off;
the mine was discovered by residents of
the interior, who had resorted to the island
for the purpose of procuring salt by boiling,
and for two years
. nearly'the whole of the
trans-Mississippi region was supplied from
that source, no less than two hundred thou ,
sand pounds having been taken from it in
,three months.
When the island passed into the hands
of the Federal forces, the winks, bAildings,
;eto.,-were destroyed, but it has recently
'been purchased by a New York capitalist,
who, in - developing the property, has found
the sale-rook 'froth thirteen to twenty-two
feet below the surface, extending oveir
great number of spree; Pita of forty feet'

in depth have been sunk through the salt
+without finding any indications of reaching
bottom. The salt formation is almost per
fectly pure, chemical analysis showing
that it contains about ninety per cent. of
pure salt. The development of the proper
ty is being rapidly-pushed, and the product
has already reached two hundred thousand
pounds per week, with a force of ten hands.
This mine is regarded as forming a proini
nent part of the material resources of Loui
siana.
TRIBULATIONS OF THE INVENTOR
The Paris correspondent of the Liver
pool Journal gives the following narrative
of the toils and disappointments of the in
ventor of the gun:—
" The needle-gun is well known to be
the product of the long study and wee . -
verance of an English officer, who, while
stationed at a solitary outpost in Canada,
amused his leisure hours with experiments
in the rough construction of a substitute
for the rifle which he, had damaged by let
ting it drop down a precipice while in pur
suit of a bear. It pas almost by,aecident
that the discovery became palpable to the
solitary hunter in the woods. But no
sooner did it become manifest to his senses,
than he resigned his commission in the
army, returned to. Europe, and, as a matter
of course,. hniried, to the War Office with
his invention. Por,more than a year was
the inventor kept in suspense. He was
bandied.aboitt frOm oneofficial to another
during all this time, merely to be told,' at
lasOhat the Government did . not feel -dis
posed to alter the principle of the arias
employed. ' tlien . thati disgust,
he brought his invention to Paris, and
obtained an ; interview with the Emperor,
wholistened with the greatest apparent in
terest to the,description of the gun, exam
ined the plans and sections brought by the
officer, much questioned the superiority of
the invention over.' others which had been
laid before him, declared' it seemed to him
liable to the great objection of being too
delicate for field use, and abruptly sounded
the little gong which . stands upon his' bu =
reau, and slightly rising when the usher
entered at the summons, dismissed the
visitor to admit ,other importnnates. It
was then that he betook himself; armed
with his needle.gun, to Holland. But
when lie arrived at the Hague he found
that. his Eesouroes had dwindled. away to
such an extent, that , he was compelled to
delay his Tresentation to the king for want
of proper costume to appear in.
"'Meanwhile he became accidentally ac
quainted 'With' one of the gentlemen it
tached to 'the Prussian Legation at the
Hague, and, to whom he recounted "his bit - -
ter grievances. This time he was listened
to with interest. The brother-in-law of his
new friend held some appointment at the
Court of Berlin, and he lost no time in re=
pairing with the Englishman to Berlin.
The needle-gun was tried, examined, and
accepted in the shortest possible space of
time, the inventor handsomely rewarded,
and encouraged to establish himself in
Prussia."
The Birmingham Post, on the other
hand, says The Prussian needle gun
resembles, in all essential respects, an arm
invented by two Englishmen, Messrs.
Handeon and Golden, of Huddersfield, and
patented by them in this country on the
2d November, 1841. It is said that Mr.
Golden received an order from the King of
Prussia for two of his guns, and from
these models the so-called Prussian needle
gun, with trifling modifications, was made."
An English establishment has under
taken the manufacture of a new and valu
able kind of rope. The tests of its superi
ority have been made il hy means of an im
proved hydraulic mac"!, ne, and froin the
very satisfactory. manner in which it bore
the test& applied to it, appears likely to
come into general use. The principle con
sists in making a rope of hemp and wire
combined, which is found to give even
geater degree of strength than wire rope,
with the pliability'of that made of hemp
It is manufactured by placing a single wire
inside of every rope yarn, securely coating
each -wire with hemp, and separating each
hard ,substance, making a , sort of cushion
for eacli - ivire 'to bed upon, so that when
any, heavy strain is applied the wires do not
cut each other as in all wire rope: Its
superiority over hemp rope for mining pur
poses.ii its taking the same breaking strain
at less than:alf the weight of hemp rope—
and, compared with chain, at less than one
quarter the weight of ordinarY chain. This
description of rope has now for some time
been in use in the English docks, in haul
ing vessels in and out of the docks, and the ,
manner in which it has borne this severe
practical test has fully proved its efficiency.
The Tititei 'correspondent who accompa
nies the Atlantic telegraph expedition, says
that not a day has passed since the fracture
of lastyear's cable, that its insulation has not
been almost hourly tested at the Irish end.
These tests show its condition up to the
broken' end, 1260 miles from shore, to be
absolutely - perfect. There is always a cer
tain amount of resistance to an electric
current entering a cable; which called'
retardatioh, and is measured
. by millions of
units. A submarine wire of a certain
length can, therefore,- always be measured
off, as it mere, and its. insulating , and con
ductive powers ascertained to within a mile
of a fliult'by the time the eurrent takea in
entering the wire. These tests, as we have
said, have been carried on hourly with last
year's cable; and the result as 'to Millions
of units has corresponded, darby day, in
the most , remarkable manner., Of coarse,
both E rts' condnetiiiiy" , 'and resdahce•
have varied/as earth .currents arose or mag
netic storms prevailed; but nine times out
of ten the resistance test has been the
same even to a millionth unit, day after
day, and those testa are identical • with those
which would be obtained from a perfect
submarine rope • 1260 miles long. The
readin gs of
the haionieter at thii station
also afford the most curious dati,'Which, until
now, have been almost entirely overlooked
'in electricabocience
ari as connectedwith the'
snbm ne sables.`
It, is found that exactly

in proportion as the barometer roes; the fe
sistance of the current increased, and vice
versa. In plain terms, a low barometer
meant a good cable, and a high barometer
a bad one. Another curious circumstance,
which has sometimes been noticed, but
never carefully recorded till now, is that
between twelve and two in the day, and
' on ly at those hours, the cable is always at
its worst?'
STRENGTH: OF IRON AND STEEL.
The tensile strength of iron and steel is
:a pointlo• deterMine' which various series
o f exparimetts have been instituted by
scientific and 'practical' men among others,
; those made at Glasgow by An Napier are
'deemed of special importance and value,
on account of the, great care exercised in
every operation. The mode of testing was
simply ,to fasten the lower end of the bar
securely, attach the upper end to the hook
of an enormous steelyard, and load the end
of the steelyard until the bar broke. Va
rious sized bars and plates were tried,
which, however, were carefully measured,
and from the weight required to break
them, the strength of a bar or plate of
similar material, an inch square, was ob
tained by calculation. The number of
experiments made , was Fix hundred and
twenty-five; and from these it appears—
among other results—that a weight of
seventy-four tons May be suspended by a
rod of the very htxst •fustrsteel, an inch
square, while a rod of the same size, of .the
poorest quality of steel, will support only
, about tarenty-three ton's. Jt also appears,
from `thelife, nutrAher eriperirnents,' - that
steel bars considerably stronger than
in plates, and' it is almost ail_tenacious
acme the plates as lengthwise.
WHITENING OF PAPER.
That some paper manufacturers are ac
customed to increase the weight of their
products by the introduction of pipe-clay,
plaster of Paris, and other heavy colorless
substances,
is notorious, though the act
is not usually spoken of in terms of com
mendation. But a technical chemist in
Europe no w proposes, without any reserve,
to do away with the usual prdoesses of
bleaohing with sulphurons acid or. chlorine,
and to whiten the paper simply by addi
tion of white substances. He proposes, in
short, to 'introduce by chemical means a
quantity of sulphate of bFytit (barytes)
directly into the texture' Of the paper.
This is effected by adding to the paper pulp
solutions of alum and.of chloride of barium,
together with a quantity of slaked lime.
By these means sulphate of baryta, to
gether with a quantity, of hydrate, of alumi
na, is precipitated in and upon the fibres,
which, in the subseqtlent process of felting,
are converted into paper. The sulphate of
baryta, being of a brilliant white color, will,
of course, tend to Font,* the coloring mat
ters of the original fibre. As the sulphate
of baryta is very heavy, and as paper is sold
by the pound, the method in question will,
no doubt, have a fair trial.—The Nation.
