Explorations In Afghanistan. For a period of forty years it has been known that interesting Buddhist remains existed in the Jellalabad Valley, although little or no attention ha 9 been giviu to their investigation. Mr. William Simpson, hav ing been quartered for some months in the valley, with the force under General Sir Samuel Browne, has been able to visit most of the remains in that region and to make sketches of them, and the results of his in vestigations are given by him in a paper puHished'in a recent number of [he Journal of the Society of Arts. These Buddhist remains, says Mr: Simpson, are little more than mounds. Here and there the crumb ling remains of a stupa may be seen, and fragments of walls can be traced in the heaps. The immense quantity of these mounds is astonishing; anil, as it is known that these Buddhist establishments were monasteries, the extent of the remains seems to indicate in the past a population of asce tics alone far greater than the population of the present day. In the Buddhist period, the country must have been under a lugh state of civilization, where wealth abound ed and art was cultivated. The vestiges of art still remaining show that the religious structures of the time were large and im portant. A style of architecture was fol lowed in which sculpture was largely prac ticed. and in which the effect was heighten ed by the use of color aud gold. The struct ures connected with the practice of the Buddhist faith were "viharas," or monas teries, places in which each monk had his cell, and with buildings lor worship. One prominent form of the ritual was connected with structures which are now known as "topes" or stupas. "Dagoba" and "chajt ya" are also terms used to designate the same kind of structure. The Afghanistan topes, unlike those of Sauchi, Bharut, and Amaravati, have a square base. It is orna mented with a cornice aud pilaster; large and imposing stairs are made to ascend to the plattorm formed by it above on which the circular part of the tope stood. Among the topes in the Jellaiabad Valley which arc not quite reduced to the condition of mounds, the Greek influence is very dis tinctly marked in the architecture. The capitals arc all Corinthian; and the more ornamental structures have series of Corin thian pilasters with base mouldings and friezes. Regarding the monasteries litt'e can be said, tor scarce a vestige of them now remain. All throughout Afghanistan there is an immense number of eaves. At Batuian, about a hundred miles north of Cabul, there is what may be called a city of caverns. At Hada, and at almost all tl e groups of topes, there are numerous cavis associated with them. Nearly all of these, as a rule, are about the same size. They are merely arched recesses in the rock, about twelve feet high; of the same width, and about twenty feet long. That the}' were decorated with color is shown by the traces still visible in the decorations in a small group at Hada, Enough is left also to dis tinguish panels, in rows, with heads of Buddha 01 Buddhist saints with the nim bus. At Darunta fhere is a very large and remarkable group of caves. The rock above had monasteries anil topes of an extensive character upon it. The most iutersting of these caves are in a perpendicular cliff over hanging the Cabul river. Mr. Simpson con cludes his paper with a short account of the excavations made by him at the Anin Posh tope,|near Jellalabad. Of this structure nothing is left but the lower part of the sqiare base; and there is only a small por tion remaining of the first course of the cir cular part of the tope, which is eighty feet in diameter. The base is 100 feet square, and ornamented with Corinthian pilasters. There had been an inclosure all round the tope, forming a courtyard about 500 feet square. Through thia the principal gateway entered from the south, in a line with the original stairs ou the south and north sideof the tope. This approach was evidently an important construction. There was further evidence of what it had been in the remains ot colossal figures, which were brought to light. The size of these may he judged of by the size of the feet, which were twenty-three inches long and which were all that remained of the statue to which they belonged. On ditrging a tun nel into the center of the tope, the internal wall was found to be composed of stones and slates, so arranged as to produce a di aper or checkered pattern —a style of mas onry peculiar to all the remains of the Buddhist period. In his excavations, Mr. Simpson was forunate enough to come upon the cell, which was formed of layers of slate, and was a perfect cube of sixteen inches. In this repository, which constitu ted the sanctum, in honor of which the monument had been raised, and to which the ritua i tl< it s of theßuddh s: weredirecb ed, there were found two handsful of dark looking dust, which were probably part of the ashes of some noted holy man of the time, deposited after cremation —the rule of the Buddhist priesthood. On top of the ashes lay a golden relic holder, octagonal in farm, about four inches long, and set on each of its faces with stones. Among the ashes were twenty gold coins seventeen of them Bactrian or lndo-Scythian and three Roman. These coins, which were in splendid condition, and the relic holder, were no doubt deposited as offerings along with the ashes at the consecration cere mony of the shrine. The coins are only a negative evidence toward the date of the tope; but from them it is certain that the latter is not older than the second century. How much later it may be is rather a diffi cult question as yet to determine. Ice Made by Means of Kther. It is well-kncwn that ether can be made to vaporize so speedily as to produce in tense cold, and if, when covered with water its evaporation be assisted, it will escape so quickly as to lower the temperature of the water to freezing point, flence ether is often used in preparing freezing mixtures; and a machine has lately been constructed for making ice by means of the remarkable property to which we have briefly alluded. The apparatus consists of an engine and air-pump combined on the same bed-plate, a refrigerator, an ether condenser, a circu lating pump, and one or more ice-boxes ac cording to the quantity required—a steam engine supplying the motive power. The two inlet passages of the air-pump are con nected by a copper pipe, from which branches another copper pipe that places them in communication with the refrigera tor, which is a felt-covered vessel of cylin drical shape, the tubes being made of cop per and riveted to brass end-plates. The two outward valves on the other side of the air-pump communicate with the ether condenser, which is similarly constructed to the refrigerator. The tubes communi cate at each end with metal chambers, one of which serves as a receptacle for the air that enters the condenser. The whole is immersed in a wooden tank, through which a Btream of water constantly passes for cooling and condensing the ether vapor. A vacuum is maintained by the air-pump iu the refrigerator, vaporizing the ether at a low temperature. This operation causes an absorption of heat, which reduces the temperature of the strong brine that is made to circulate through the tubes and ice box. The ice box is a tank of red deal varnished inside, with partitions with holes in them to allow a slow circulation of - the brine. Zinc moulds of different widths, according to the shapes of the blocks of ice required, are filled with pure water and suspended between the partitions. SCIENTIFIC. Jacobscn'B Method for Photo Printing.— Prepare a carbon picture in the usual manner upon a sheet of glass, and sur round the picture with a wooden frame which exactly tits round the sheet of glass. Then pour into the frame a mixture (not too hot) one part of gela tine, one part of gum arable, and two parts of glycerine. When the mass has stiffened iii the Iranie, carefully re move the latter from the former with a knife, and with equal care invert the gelatine plate, witti which the carbon picture will now he incorporated. To Ink the picture use a ground glass roller, aud the inking process proceeds most favorably when done upon a smooth, elastic support like that used for rolling letter press forms. The printing Ink, which must be very thick, is previously dissolved in oil of turpentine or in benzole, and some of the solution, without the addition of varnish, is poured upon the plate and distributed over it by the glass roller. 'lite plate being inked, a sheet of uncoagulaicd albuuienized paper corresponding in siz to the picture is laid upon it, and an India-rubber roller passed softly across the paper, which is then lifted off the plate. The albuuienized paper, which absorbs moisture readily, should not be allowed to lie too long upon the plate for fear of the albumen dissolving off' and dirtying the plate. It is not necessary todainp the plate with water, a* it posessess sufficient moisture to allow of a dozen impressions being taken. Of course this moisture Is ex hausted at last, but the plate is suffi ciently hygroscopic to absorb enough moisture from the atmosphere in the course of a few hours to allow of print ing being resumed. While in other lichtdrnek processes the image is sunk into the plate and til • ink has to sink into the shadows, this method has the advantage of furnishing a relief which facilitates printing. By this process, also, round objects, such as bottles and vaes, can le printed—possibly with colors, w liieh could be burn in. Endless Bails. —The idea of making a train lay down and take up its own rails as it moves along is not a new one, but an inteiesting realization of i: is now to be witnessed in the Jardin des Tiuleries, • aris. The system is that of Clement Ador. Tne rails on either side of the carriages consists of a series of joined pieces of rail, with flat supporting pieces; they enclose the system ot wheels, passing down over tlie front and up over tne end wheels, and all the wheels have two flanges to prevent any derailment. In front the trains of rail are guided by two distri buting wheels, which are governed by the traction, so that 011 pulling obli quely, right or left, the endl ss way automatically follows the same direc tion. At the end of the first train, again, are two taking up wheels, pro vided with differential motion to meet the difficulty of going in curves, which involves an extension of the rail 011 one si :e aud a contraction ot that 011 the other, so that whatever the curve (to six or seven metres' radiu the way is regularly put down and lifted. From the mechanical point ot view one is struck with the smallness of the force required to move a train thus ar ranged. lu the Jardin des Tuileries the train consists ot three carriages, capable of containing in 'all thirty children, and often lull. These are drawn by two goats, which work tints lor seven hours. The total load is about 1,000 kilogrammes, or rather more than a ton. To draw a like weight in three carriages on ordinary roads would require a dozen goats, tour for each vehicle. (This is the number harnessed to the small carriages for children in the Champs Elysees.) The economy of carriage, ttien, is in contestable, The normal speed is four miles, per hour. The system is, of course, not designed lor passenger traffic, but for goods, and in many places, with bad roads or none, might be very serviceable. A Substitute for Gutta-Percha. —Ac- cording to the Polytechnic lltvieio a rival to india-rubber uiui gutta-percha has been found in a new elastic gum which has been named Balata. Tuis is the Milky sap of the bully-tree, that flou rishes on the banks ol the Orinoco and the Amazon in South America. The operation ot winning the gum is simi lar in every respect to that employed with caoutchouc and gutta-percha. It resembles gutta-percha so closely in its general properties that much of It is shipped from Guiana and sold yearly for gutta-percha—although it has many points of superiority. It is tasteless, gives an agreeable odor on being warmed, may be cut like gutta-percha, is tough and leathery, is remarkably flexible, and lar more elastic than gutta-percha. It becomes scft and may be joined piece to piece, like gutta-percha, about 120 degrees Fab., but requires *270 degrees Fall., belore melting (higher that guta-percha). It is completely soluble in benzole and crbon disulphide in the cold. Tur pentine dissolves it with the application of heat, while it is only partially solu ble in anhydrous alcohol and ether. It becomes strongly electrified by friction, and is a better insulator of heat and electricity than gutta-percha, 011 wlieh account it may find considerable appli cation for electrical and telegraphic uses. Caustic alkalies and concentra ted hydrochloric acid do not attack it; but concentrated sulphuric and nitric acid* attack it as they do gut -perch t, wiiieh it closely resembles in ail other Di operties. Glass Insulators with which most lightning rods are provided are useless. It there is a path of least resistance from the lightning rod to the ground through the house the discharge will take this path without regard to the glass insulators. The ordinary lightning arrester in telegraph offices is an illustration of this. The dis charge leaps across the short air inter val provided between the telegraph wire and an earth connection, this air interval could be replaced by a plate of glass and the spark would still leap through it. All lightning rods should he connected with the system of gas pipes and steam heating apparatus, furnaces, and large masses of metal about a house, and them carefully grounded in moist earth. The best ground can be obtained by connecting thj lightning rod with the water pipes if there are such about the house. .Results Tell the Tale. What m&v we reasonably infer from the suc cess of a medicine which is sent far and wide, not onlv in the land of its disco.erv, but in foreign oountries, which hus met with the in dorsement of medical men, the annual prepa ration and shipment of wh ch employs a small army of employes, and the outlay upon which in var ous ways, is simply enormous. We must, if candid, award to such a remedy the meed of well deserved success. Huoli a medi cine is Hnstetter's Stomach JJittiTrs, the lead ing American remedy for fever and ague, liver complaint, dyspep-ia, debility, nervousness, rheumatism, and various other p .ysical trou bles. It early took precedence among tomes and alteratives, and has steadny maintained it. Persons of a weakly physique state its re cuperative properties to be remarkable, both in decree and the matter of promptitude, and the bilious give a particularly good account of its effects. AGRICULTURE. HORSE CATARRH OU COl.D.—This dis ease may bo considered under two points of view, either as an inflammation of the mucous membrane ot the nasal cavities, accompanied by slight fever; or as an ephemeral fever of three or four days' duration, complicated with tills condition of the nose. The latter is perliaps the more scientific definition, but for common purposes it is more convenient to consider it a simple eatarrli or Cold. There is invurluble some degree ot feverishness, sometimes very considerable, at other, to slight as to be easily passed over. Usually the pulse is accelerated to about fifty or sixty, the appetite is impaired, and there is often sore throat with some cough. On examining the interior of the nos trils, they ar more red than natural, at first dry and swollen, then bedewed with a water discharge which soon be comes thick, yellow and in some cases purulent. The eyes are generally in volved, their conjunctival coat being injected with blood, anil often some flight weeping takes place, but there is always an expression of sleepiness or dullness, partly to the general impair ment of the health. The disease is caused in most cases by a chill either In or out of the stable, but sometimes, even in the mildest form, i' appears to beepidetnie. The treatment will great ly depend upon the severity of the disease; usually a bran-mash contain ing from six drachms to an ounce of powdered niter in it, at night, for two or three consecutive doses, will suffice, together with Hie abstraction of corn, and if the bowels are confined, a mild dose of physio should be given ; such as six drachms of finely powdered barba does aloes, two draenms of ginger, and one pint of linseed oil (raw). .Should the dheuse extend o the bronchial tubes, or tlie lungs, a competent phy sician must be called in. DR. BULL'S Cough Syrup gives BY far the best sati>f tcuon and takes the lead of all cough preparations on our shelves —Carpenter fc Paliueter, James town, N. Y. FKCUXDIT YOF G RAIN.—A >ingie plant of coin, either wheat, barley, or oats, by being allowed proper time and am ple space for the full development of Its roots, leaves and branches, is natur ally capable of producing eighty ears or lour thousand fld. Anomalous, however, as this may appear, yet it is certain and as strictly true, that not titty-fold, or one perfect ear, is obtained trout each grain planted throughout the entire bieadth of the United Kingdom; and it would require a countless number of its, and outs, *0 prove the contrary, though but lew words to substantiate the truth of this assertion, namely, "That were it so, as a necessary consequence luff bushels per aere would be an average crop, viz : titty times as much as is sown, say at two bushels only per acre as seed for wheat, barley and oits; but it is a laet, not too much to .iffirtti, that scarcely half this much—incredible as it may appear at tirsi Fight—is actually ob tained; about 32 to 51) bushels per acre being a lair average crop of all kinds of grain, so estimated by the most able and trustworthy statisticians." VEOETINK has never failed to effect a cure, giving tone and strength to the system debilitated by disease. LAMPASS IN HORSES.—Lampass is an imaginary Utsease, being nothing more than a swelling and tumefaction of tfie bars in the roof of a horse's mouth, communicated thereto front inff tmuiiou ot tiie gums when the animal is shed ding his molar teeth, and often pro jecting so far as to be on a level with the upper incisor teeth, and become so painful as to prevent the animal from eating. At times, however, it appears in aged horses, the process of grow th in the teeth of the horse continuing during the whole life of the animal; but lit a majority of such cases the swelling will soon subside without any medical treatment, a few mashes an.l gentle alteratives being all that is ne*.es-ary to relieve the auim.tl. In the case of a young animal a few slight incisions across the bars with a sharp penknife will relieve the inflam mation and cause the swelling to sub side. The brutal custom of burning down the bars with a redl.ot iron is as unnecessary as it is cruel, ami should therefore never be practiced. SAID THE Nurse to the Doctor: "Sure sir, I only know ot one good medicine for the Baby, and that is Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup." EFFECTS OF DEW UPON PASTURES.— The heavy dews which areu ual 111 late summer and early fall, and the light hoar frosts which occur as the cooler weather arrives, are unwholesome to cattle and sheep. It may be that the well known effect of dew in this direc tion gave rise tojhe old-fashioned idea that due was 111 itself injurious and causetf various diseases. Tnere is noth ing in the character of the- dew itself which is hurtful; but it is the tilling of the stomach with wet herbage ibut is unwholesome. The stomach becomes distended with the products of the de composition of the wet mass, and in time the animals suffer. Danger may be avoided by keeping the stock, espe cially young animals, freni the grass until the dew has dried oil". The dan ger is not so serious until the shorter days and longer nights of the fall cause an excessive deposition of dew, when care should be exercised. To find the number of tons of hay in long or square stacks, the following is given as tlie rule: Multiply the length in yards by the width in yards, and that by half the altitude in yards, and divide the product by 15. To find tlie number of ton- in circular stacks. Multiply the square of the circum ference in yards by four times the alti tude in yards, and divide by 100. The quotient w ill be the number of cubic yards in the stack. Theu divide by 15 to get the number of tons. MRS.

COFFEE ICK CREAM.—This recipe is reprinted by desire. Make a custard, without any flavor, of a pint of cream uml four yolks of eggs. Put Into this a quarter of a pound of 1 resitly. roasted mocha coffee berries; they should, if possible, bo used hot. Cover up the stew pan closely with its lid, putting u napkin over to keep In the steam. Let the custard stand for an hour, strain and sweeten, and when cold put it into the freezing pot. Cream thus prepared will not take the color ofl' tho coffee, and when carefully made is very deli cate and delicious. Coffee lee ereatu is also made with a strong infusion of coffee. To make the infusion, put two ounces of freshly ground coffee into a French coffee pot and pour over it a gill of tast-hoiling water. When the water lias ali run through the strainer, take out the coffee grounds and replace them with two ounces of fresh coffee. Four the coffee infusion In the bottom ot tho pot over these fresli grounds. Then pour the coffee Infusion thus ob tained into a pint of sweetened cream, and freeze. Sing a song of hair oil.

FC Mm AT ION IN ASTHMA —Great bene fit lias lately been found to attend a proper process of fumigation in asthma. For tins purpose the powder to be burned is composed of two and one half parts of nit rate of potassium, one half part of belladonna, ami live parts of powdered stramonium leaves, inti mately mixed with a small proportion —say one-half part pulverised white sugar, the latter being added to prevent the compound from burn ing too freely. The saltpetre may be dissolved In just enough water to form a saturated solution, which is mixed with the leaves, add subsequent ly the mass dried into a coarse powder, sugar being then added. A small quantity is placed on a brick or tin olate and ignited, when it burns, giv ing ofl'a cloud of smoke. Good r suits follow also from spreading sheets over a clothesliorse, to confine the fumes.

Hop Bitters is the only thing that will give perfectly healthy natural action to these two organs. A PRETTY DISH OF APPLES.—Take ten large apples, boil them till quite soft; peel and pulp them, mashing them till there are no lumps. Mix in half a pound of powdered loaf sugar, and beat them up lor half an hour; then beat the whites of two eggs with a whisk, and mix with the apple; then mix with one half a small pot of red currant jelly, and with the other any e9>ence or flavor which you may ao prove. Now, It it has been well mix ed, one portion will be quite pink, and the other still and white. Then pile them on a glass dish, taking a spoonful of each alternately. CNOPPED BEEF.— l'wo pounds lean, raw meat chopped fine, one teacup ro'led crackers, one of sweet milk, one teaspoon salt. Put in a pan, cover an other over it, bake one hour. It is im ptoved by a dressing of bread or cracker crumbs spread over tlie top: wet the crumbs with milk or water, season wiih butter, pepper and salt. The scrap may be used for breaktast by taking a spoonful and covering it with mashed potatoes mixed with egg and fried in butter or spet. The price of soap is rapidly advanc ing.

Paint all the woo lwork in the kitchen, if possible. Lead color would be handsome. Do not forget that curtains are nice for the kitchen as well as the parlor. GRILLED FOWL.—Take the legs of cold fowl, score them well, and rub in plentifully some French mustard, salt aid cayenne; broil ov\r a clear tire and serve with grill sauce. Take one gill oTgood gravy, add to it one tahlespoon ful of mushroom ketchup, one tea spoonful of French mustard, a few chopped capers and a little grated lemon-peel; add a little butter rolled in flour, a few drops ot chili vinegar, simmer until quite hot, pour over the legs and serve.

Largeau in 1874 visited the valley of the Igharglmr, with the intention of branching off to Rhadames to study the commerce of that oasis and test the practi cability of diverting to Algeria the caravans ttiat come there by the central route from Soodan. lie questioned the ehambas on the causes of the drying of the great Saha ran streams, and found that all agreed in saying that these dead rivers once ran full through a country more fertile than the Tell (the region north of the Atlas Moun tain's crest), hut could only explain it by legends more interesting than satisfactory. M. Largeau gives the following explanation of the change: "It is known that pastoral people have always been great destroyers of forests, for they need large spaces of clear ground to feed the flocks that form their wealth and to promote security against the wild beasts that lurk ia forests. Even now the Algerian Arabs are seen fir ing the woods to enlarge the narrow limits imposed upon them by colonizatior. So, although the great Saharan streams have not been explored to their sources, yet it is known that they commence on the bare plateaux that are but the skeletons of heights once wooded and fertile. All ac counts of the inhabitants of these regions agree on that point. Consequent upon the destruction of the forests the periodical rains were replaced by rare and short though violent storms, the waters from which, instead of soaking in as in past ages, slip by on the rocky masses, carrying away the rich surface mold, and bring about the drying of the springs, and, as a direct con sequence, of the rivers."
