SCIENTIFIC. Flying Fish. —The mechanism of the movement of the flying-fish through the air has been discribea with much detail by Professor Moebius, of Kiel, who concludes, from the observations of those who have published on the subject aud his own, that the flying fish dart from the water with great speed without reference to*the course of the wiud and waves. They make no regular flying motions with their Sctoral and ventral fins, but spread em out quietly, though very rapid vibrations can be seen in the outstrech- Ed pectoral fins. The hinder part of the body, while the fish moves through the air, hangs somewhat lower than the forepart of the body. They usual ly fly lurther against the Wind than with it, or if their track and the direc tion of the wind form an angle. Most flying-fish which fly agaiust or with the wind coutiuue their whole course of flight in the same direction in which they come out of the water. Winds which blow from one side on to the original track ol the Ash bend their course Inward. All fish which are at a distance from the vessel hover in their whole course in the air near the surface of the water. It in strong wiuds they fly against the course of the waves, then thjy fly a little IMkr; sometimes they cut with the tail lifo the crest ot the same. Only such flying-fish rise to a considerable height (at the high est, by chance, five metres above the surface ot the sea) whose course in the air becomes obstructed by k vessel. In tbe daytime flylng-tlsh seldom fall on the deck of the ship, out mostly in the night; never in a calm, but only when the wind blows. For the most part they fall on ships which do not risq higher than two or three yards above tbe water, when tbey are sailing on the wind or with half-wind, and are makiug a good course. , Flying-fish never come ou board from the lec-side, but only on the wiudwand side. Be fore vessels which pass between their swimming schools tbe fish fly iuto the air as before predaceous fish or cetac eans. Xapktha end Benzine. —We have often been asked tne difference between ben zine and naphtha, many people want ing to know whether naphtha didn't include bensine, or whether it wasu't the same thing under a marketable name. A prominent refiner says that bensine la the first product that arises from the process of refining crude oil, and bears the same relation to naphtha that distillate does to refined oil. In other words, benzine is crude naphtha. The reason it is not quotable undor the name of benzine, therefore, is because it has to be reduced to naphtha before it is marketable in any extensive quan tity. The process that benzine is sub ject to, to produce naphtha, is tot a separate business, but is carried on by the reglar oil refiners in the same stills and retorts that the refined oil is pro duced. The benzine is treated with sulphuric acid, the resnlt is naphtha, which is in great demand in £urope, especially in France, for the purpose of aniline dyes, while it is also put to many other purposes. This demand is partially instrumental in keeping up its price, but its rapid evaporation also has a tendency in that direction, as any seller of it has to take into con sideration the depreciation that might take place by the time he sells it on that account, and for the same reason buyers give no more orders than im mediate necessity requires. All refin ers, however, do not produce naphtha, but some of them sell the benzine, which is largely used for fuel purposes, for which it is much better than coal, as it is not only absolutely cheaper, but gives a steadier heat. M, de Pararey of France has drawn attention to a substance well known in Chinese medicine, which is called ou poey-tse. It appears to be a sort of gall, possessing a very remarkable astringent power. It develops itself as an excrescence upon a varity of ash, and is used by the Chinese with great success in cases of diarrhoea. Hydrogen gat when pure is between fourteen and fifteen times lighter th&u atmospheric air. Ordinary coal-gas is only about two and a-half times lighter than the air we breathe. A flexible carbon, for electric lights, is a new and important invention, just patented in England. It can be rolled up and stowed in small space. A new street-railway track has been successfully tried in England. The rail is a flat plate regularly pierced with holes which fit protuberances on the wheels. Phosphorescent paper is reported to be one of the latest novelties. Writing done upon it can be read the dark. Going on an Excursion. They had been prepariug for the ex cursion for about two weeks. The day at last dawned, and as the boat vvas to start early, the young wife determined to be on Hand. The clock struck eight, and still she was in the kitchen, her hair down her back, packing edibles in the basket. "Hurry up." said John, her young husoand. "I'll be ready presently," and away she darted to blacken her shoes and put on a clean collar. Then she stuck her head out of the back window to ask her next door neighbor to lend her a breastpin. '"Hurry up, John," said she, "You bring the basket, now I'm ready and am going down to the boat, and say, John, don't forget a box of sardines youH find in the closet, and bring the pickles and tongue, and be sure and bring a big knife. Do you hear me, John?" John reeled into the kitchen and be gan his work. He was interrupted by his wife's voice from below yelling: "John, there's a can of strawberries in the ice-box, don't forget them. Now hurry, we'll be fearful late, and say, . . bring one or two more handkerchiefs and a snn umbrella—or I don't know, • it looks like rain bring my waterproof. Oh, you old poke, you're going to stay there ail day. Now run back and close those back shutters and put the cat in the kitchen, and leave a pan of milk for heT, and say, just stop around at the butcher's, and tell him we won't need any meat to day; and leave the key of the cellar under the parlor door-mat. Now hurry, John. I'm off. And don't forget anything, or I'll go "wild!" He didn't forget anything; but when he reached the wharf he found the boat had been gone two hours. AGRICULTURE. CONCRETE WALLS UNDER OLD BAKNS. —Many farmers, who desire to build good stables, are deterred from doing so because they thiuk it necessary to build a new barn for that purpose; and in order to have a proper basement sta ble, they seem to regard a side hill as indispensable. Now, both these ideas are often mistaken, Hrst, if the old barn is largo enough aud of the right form to suit the purpose, it may be raised and a good concrete wall placed under it, so as to give as good a stable as if under a new barn. When the wall is to be laid with stone by a mason, in theordinary way, the shores or block ings are very much in the way of build ing the wall—requiring each blocking to be filled in after its removal, thus making much more work. But when the wall is built with concrete, the mat ter is very easy. Raise the barn to the height desired (giviug eight feet iu the clear for a stable); level it accurately on the blockings; then place3x4 scaut lings plumb under the centre of the sills (uot in the way of any window or door), in sufficient number to hold the building firmly in position; brace these troui the top aud take out the b.ockings. Now, there is nothing lu the way of a concrete wall, as it is built around these shores, which will stand In the centre of the wall, aud oannot injure k by rot ting. The wall should be tvmve la ches thick, and to build It set standards fifteen inches apart. In pairs, so thatl>£ inch planks, plaoed between thein against each standard, will leave twelve inchek between the planks. The pairs of standards will be plumbed, so as to bring the outside ot the wall even with the outside edge of the sill. These standards aud plauka are carried around the building. Only one tier of planks is required, audit tecouveuientto have these fourteen inches wide. When this box is filled with conorete, it will usu ally set hard enough while filling, 60 that the workmen may commence at the length first filled and raise it twelve Inches, leaving two inches la ped on the first tier of the wall made, and each length of blank is raised in turn, and refilled with concrete —thus placed lay er on layer until the wall is completed. When the last layer is to be placed un der the sill, raise tne outside plank to the top so that the coucre.e can be pushed against it, and the inside plank may be lei t down enough to give room for the introduction of the matter, it can be taraped in solid under the sill, so as to make a complete wall with no space left for air. The door frames are made of planks, with jambs as wide as the wall is thick. The door frames are set up before the boxings are plftced, tbe box planks slide up on the edges of the door jambs. The window frames are set up under the sill, and the con crete fills up under and around them; and the basement should be well light ed. It is bad economy to save glass at the expense of liberal light in a stahle. Sun light is as important to animals as to vegetables. GREEN CORN FOR COWS. —The value of sweet corn as green food lor cows cannot be overestimated. If the stalks are cut green after the ears have been pulled for table use there will be a very perceptible increase of milk, but if the ears are left on there is no other for age orop equal to it. The cows will not only give more milk, but there will be more butter in the milk. A small patch will furnish as much as one cow can eat during Angustand September, when pasture is short. After the frost kills it it loses its virtue for feed. FATTENING FOWLS. —One need not be much of an epicure to be able to distin guish readily the difference between a fowl that has been shut up and delicate ly fed lor a time before killing and one that has been forced to scratch for a living. Confine fowls intended tor the table in a darkened place and give them plenty of milk, either fresh, thick or sour, with grain and table scraps, and you will have a delicate article of food, with uo strong "chicken" flavor about PLANTS AND FLOWERS. —To have ros es bloom well keep old wood cut back; cover the bushes in winter with straw, corn stalks or loose manure and work into the soil around them plenty of iron fillings or filings or break up old pieces of cast-iron as tine as possible and put around next the roots. If rose bugs trouble your roses put a spoonful of white hellebore in a pail of water and sprinkle It on the bushes or vines. To kill the peach tree borer, use fish brine diluted with an equal quantity of water —a pint poured around each tree in spring or fall; for each small tree use less. THK top of a fruit tree, to secure the best results in color and flavor of the fruit, should be kept open to the ad mission of air and sunlight If some branches grow too fast for the harmon ious balance of the tree, pinch out the buds at the end and thus force the growth into the other branches that are not so thrifty. Five years of culti vation and watchful pruning and you will never have occasion to remove large branches. It is a terrible loss to a tree to allow branches to attain a large size only to be slaughtered. Poison. The poison so freely used by the Ital ians In the seventeenth century was called "aqua tofana," from the name of the old woman Tofania, who made and sold it in small flat vials which she called manna of St. Nicholas, on one side of which was an image of the saint. She carried on this traffic for half a cen tury and eluded the police, but on be ing detected confessed that she had been a party to poisoning six hundred people. Numerous persons were im plicated by her of all ranfts, and many of them were publicly executed. All Italy was thrown into a ferment, and and many fled, while some persons of distinction, on conviction, were stran gled in prison. It appeared to have been used mainly by married women, who were tired of their husbands. Four or six drops were a fatal dose, but the effect wws not sudden and therefore not suspected. It was as clear as wa ter, but the chemists have not agreed upon its real composition. A procla mation of the Pope described it as aqua fortis distilled into arsenic, and others considered it as a solution of crystal lized arsenic. The secret of its pre paration was conveyed to Paris, where the Marchioness de Brinvaliers poison ed her father and two brothers, and she with many others were executed, and the preparers of it were burned at the stake.

"You were waterlogged—no, not water, but beerlogged ?" "Can't just say now, Judge, what I did ship aboard." "Lying down on the sidewalk ?" "Yes, I suppose I was knocked on my beam ends, I can't just remember now, though." "If the officer hadn't hove in sight just as he did you might have gone under." "No fare of that, Yer Honor; a good drowndin' would have no more effect upon me than a square meal." "Your port eye bears evidences of a col lision." "Don't mention that, Judge.

Parlor scene : Mrs. BrowD, who has spent the summer among the White Mountains in search of health, and who seems to have searched the whole mountain side without being able to And a pair of blooming cheeks or an inch ot healthful skin : Mrs. White, who has remained at home because her husband could not afford to go, but whose fresh complexion and bright eyes seem to have caught their bloom and brightness from mountain breezes. Mrs. B.—Dear me, Mrs. White, how well you are looking ! If you will not think me impertinent, let me ask you how you can keep so healthy in this dreadful city 7 I have bean to the White Mountains, go there every sum mer, in fact, and I can't keep off the doctor's list at that. Mrs. W. (smiling).—l'll tell you the whole secret, Mrs* Brown. You re member how poorly I was last spring, some days even being confined to my bed. Dr. told Mr. White to send me to the mountains, but 1 knew he couldn't afford it, and I tried Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Its effects were so marvelous that I also tried his Golden Medical Discovery, to cleanse my system. In my opinion, one bottle of the Prescription and the Discovery is better than six weeks of the White Mountains for a sick woman. I have only been out of the city a week during the whole summer; then my husband and 1 went to Buffalo and stopped at Dr. Pierce's Invalids' and Tourists' Hotel. The baths and me chanical apparatus for treating patients were alone worth going to see. Be sides, our accommodations were better than we had at Long Branch last year, and the drives and scenery are superb. Let me advise you to use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and try the In valids' and Tourists' Hotel next sum mer instead of the White Mountains.
