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.

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
