SOME LARGE BOTTLES. Ilolil Kurtjr-Flve Uallon« Enoh, Slnt'l Sill Ffd 111 kla mill Are Sl&teen Incite* in "W Id til. In attempting to turn out a huge bot tle to send to the St. Louis exposition, the glass blowers of Alton, 111., have turned out four glass bottles with a capacity of 'ls gallons fai ii, which are believed to be the largest bottles ever blown. Monro Miller made the first big bot tle. Other glass blowers then strove to outdo him. and attempted to make a big bottle, without a mold, in order to give it greater size. Valentine Reinin ger, Jesse Steelman, and John Metz un dertook the task, and with onlyasliaper to fashion the bottoms, they blew ves sels capable of holding 45 gallons each. It was a task of oue hour to make each bottle. Forty pounds of molten glass were drawn from the furnace, and shaped on the end of a long blowpipe. In order to accomplish the feat, the glass had to be reheated many times in the furnace as it was being blown in a plastic state to the size and shape desired. Many unsuccessful attempts to form the big bottles were made before complete success was met. All the air used in blowing the bot tles made, about 11,000 cubic inches in each, was supplied from the lungs of the blowers, who were making them, one man blowing the bottle alone. The chief difficulty lay in keeping the neck of the bottle hot and plastic, as it was cooled quickest by the iron blowpipe. Many bottles were made, but most of them were spoiled in the operation, and were discarded. The four perfect ones, which have been preserved for exhibi tion, stand nearly six feet high, and are about 16 inches across at the bottoms. The making of these big bottles is recognized as a masterful feat in the glass blowing trade. Glass blowers from all'parts of the country have taken great interest in the experiment, and the makers of the bottles have received many inquiries as to their methods. It is a new line for rivalry, as it was here tofore considered impossible to make such big bottles, because of the difficul ties in the way of the blowers handling such a large mass of molten glass.— Philadelphia Press. Mnkinur I'rnlt Tree* Eat. In the Crimea scientists have been making queer experiments with fruit trees. Instead of trying to increase their growth and yield bv-lieaping fer tiliz< r around the roots, they have been cuttingtinyholesinto their trunks and Inserting saltS of iron in both solid and liquid form. An account of these curi ous experiments has been read before the Imperial society recently, ami it was declared by the men who have been thus feeding the trees that the method had proved itself to be highly success ful. Photographs were shown of 900 trees that had been thus treated, and the pictures appeared to prove the truth of the allegations, for all the trees were beautiful with foliage and flourishing excellently.

NEW PLANT DISCOVERED. IUo.MNomM Are I.ike a Tnrnn tula anil (ii*r Oat a Deudly Chloroform Odor. A wonderful tree of unknown variety has been discovered in a mountain can yon in a spur of the San Jacinto moun tains, down near the Mexican line. The leaves of the tree resemble, in size and shape, the fig leaf, but they are of a vividly purple color, and the un der side of the leaf is thickly covered | with stiff hairs, which stand out from i the leaf fully half an inch. These ] haire are sharp and thorn-like, and eas- I ily penetrate the skin, and when they | do so, they are poisonous, causing swell i ing and much pain. The blossoms are as peculiar as are i the branches and leaves. They are of ; a rusty red color, and are about two | inuhes in diameter. In shape they are a very good representation of the taran tula. There is a huge hairy bulb, in i shape resembling the abdomen of tho | poisonous spider, and there are several | chives or stamen corresponding to tho | legs of that insect. The most peculiarfeaturesoftheplant, however, remain to be told. When i ever one approaches the plant or when I the wind agitates the branches of the I tree, the flowers give off an abundance j of perfume—heavy, sickening and dead | ly. This perftime has the quality of chloroform, and a few inhalations of the odor produces unconsciousness. The ) prospectors who made the discovery of ! the plant were rendered insensible upon | approaching the tree to examine it. As the plant seems to have no botan ; ical name, two names have been sug gested by the qualities of the plant it self. One is the "tarantula plant;" tho other, "chloroform tree." —California Letter. ! ing or lowering the machine, and to as sist in guiding it; a rudder in the cen ter is the main steering device, and Mr. Reiferscheid insists that the machine 1 ran b«- made to turn in its own length, can rise to any height or descend at will. A six horse power gasoline mo tor will provide the motive power with which to run all the machinery. The balloon is to be inflated with hydrogen gas and hermetrically sealed. It will be far enough away from the gasoline engine to obviate any possible danger of explosion. Three safety devices are provided against accident. The large fans, it is contended, would permit the i airship to descend in safety, in case tlie ; balloon collapsed. The framework about the balloon would compel that to form a parachute in tinse of a puncture permit ting the air to escape, and the ship would descend gracefully without tho least danger—at least Mr. Reiferschcid so declares. The Chicago Chronicle says that Sev ern! scientists who have examined tho machine assert that he has s *vetl lha problem of aerial navigation, and, as in dicated In the first sentence of this ar ticle, the entire town has the airship fever, and every resident Is willing to take stock in.the enterprise to the ex tent of providing means at least for a pradteul demonstration.

A boy could manage the motive power, and otherwise inaccessible slopes of land, highly suit able for special crops can be well culti vated. The horse is considerable of a nuisance anyway on land closely plant ed with valuable fruit crops, however .necessary he may be for extended agri cultural operations, and it is possible to imagine some such contrivance, utiliz ing the power of a gasoline or other easily managed engine, as a great con venience in the intensive culture of choice, closely planted crops, in level places as well as hillsides. The horse takes a good deal of room, he is not careful of valuable plants, and the pack ing of the soil by bis feet is not always beneficial. Many truckers and growers of high-grade fruits would doubtless welcome a practical device that would dispense with a horse in the row while utilizing horse-power tools for cultiva tion. —Rural New Yorker. HOW TO GET GOOD ROADS. En cm? cm of Miml Mi on Id I'nlte la n Campaign for a Principle, !\oJ for DctuilM. One great reason for the prevalence of bad roads throughout the United States is lack of agreement and united action among the advocates of improvement. Everybody prefers goods roads to bad. Everybody knows that the roads can be improved only by the expenditure of money and labor. But here the agree ment ends. There is a great variety of ideas and schemes for securing the de sired object. There is no end of discus sion, but very little is accomplished. Some people would rather travel through mud than to have the roads im proved by any other plan than their own "pet scheme." Thus road reformers themselves sometimes actually hinder the cause to which they are devoted. If the roads of the country are to he made good within the lifetime of the present generation, it is high time the advocates of good roads should unite in support of a few general propositions, and goto work in favor fif a general plan. If a national good roads movement ever gets started, nothing can stop it. It will sweep everything before it. But the difficulty is to get it started. One great advantage possessed by the na'ional aid plan, which is now becom ing so popular, is that it is general in stead of sectional or local. It is as broad as the whole country. It can bring into harmonious united action the friends of good roads in every state, and it is the only plan yet proposed that can do this. The friends of national aid will make o mistake if they undertake to work out details in advance. They will difa-iroe among themselves and five objections every advantage. They should goto work fur the general principle and leave details to be worked out, later. This was the. plan of action adopted by Glad stone. When his opponents asked for details of any great reform which he advocated, Gladstone would answer: "There will be time enough to work out the details when we get the power."The advocates of national aid will do well to emulate the example of this great English statesman. They should or ganize everywhere and fight for the prin ciple. leaving details to he worked out in due time. Tl»c Hoy n ll d Ihe Fnrni.
