SOME OF THE BItt TREES.
The higiftt range of mountains is the
Uitnai:va. the nan elevation beinp es
timated at from lG.OiiOto 18.CKX feet.
The largest bhip in the world is the
Great Eastern. She is six hundred and
eighty feet lor g, 83 feet broad and 60
feet deep, being tons builder's
18,915 gross, and 13.344 net register.
She was built at Millwail, on the
Thames, and was launched January 4,
1875.
The largest university is Oxford, in
England, in the city of the same name
55 miles from London. It consists of
twenty one colleges and five halls. Ox
ford was a seat of learning as early as
the time of Edward the Confessor. Un
irersitv College claims to have been
found by Alfred.
The largest body of fresh water on the
globe is Lake Superior, 400 miles long,
160 miles wide at its greatest breadth,
and having an area of 32.000 miles. Its
mean depth is said to be 900 feet, and
itsTgreatest depth about 200 fathoms.
It? surface is about 635 feet above the
level of the sea.
The biargest cavern is the Mammoth
Cave, in Edraondston county. Ky. It
is near Green river, six miles from Cave
City, and about twenty three miles from
Bowling Green. The cave consists of a
succession of irregular chambers, some
of which are large, situated on different
levels. Some of these are traversed by
navigable branches of the subterranean
Echo river. Blind fish are found among
its waters.
Among the most remarkable of natur
al echoes are that of Eagle's Nest on
the banks of Killarny, in Ireland, which
repeats a bugle call until it seems to be
sounded from a hundred instruments,
and that on the banks of the Naha, be
tween Bingen and Coblitz, which repeats
the sound seventeen times. The most
remarkable artificial echo known is the
Castle of Simonetta. about two miles
from Milan. It is occasioned bv two
parallel walls of considerable length. It
repeats the report of a pistol GO times.
The biggestdiamond in the world, if
indeed, it be a diamond, is the braganza,
which forms part of the Portuguese
ciown jewels. It weighs 1,700 carats,
However, not a little doubt exists of its
being a diamond, as the govern men thas
never allowed it to be tested. It was
found in Brazil in 1740, The largest
tested, but uncut diamond is the Mat
ta.ni, in Borneo. It has been the cause
of a sanguinary war. Before it was cut
the Koh-i-noor, which was one of the
English crown 'jewels, wis the largest
tested diamond. It then weighed 794
carats. When in possession of the em
peror A jrengebe it was reduced by un
skillful cutting to 180 carats. During
the Sikh mutiny it was captured by Bri
tish troops, and presented to Queen Vic
toria. It was re-cut, an 1 now weighs
100 1-10 carats.
The greatest active volcano in respect
of eruptive force is probably Hecla, on
the south-west coast of Iceland, though
Vesuvius on the east side of the Biy of
Naples, may be said to dispute the palm
with it. Ilecia rises to a heigth of 5,110
feet above the sea, and is surrounded by
many higher mountains. It has three
tieaks, and along its side numerous pra
ters, the seat of former eruptions. The
crater of its principle peak is a little over
lOo feet in depth. Since A. D. 9hj, 43
of its eruptions have been recorded, five
or six ofwhich were simultaneous, or
nearly so, with those of Vesuvius, and
four with those of .Etna, and one with
those of both Vesuvius rise 3,000 feet
above the sea level. Its crater is 1,500
feet in dianvter, and l,0i.K) feet deep,
The craters of both these famous volca
noes are far exceeded in dimensions by
that of the "Mountain of Fire'' whose
crater is estimated to be four miles in
circumference and eight hundred feet
in depth.
A Woxdeiiful Plant. Attention
is now attracted to a new sort of cotton
plant which proves immensely valuable.
For many years Mr. A, A. Subers, of
Macon, Georgia, has been carefully ex
perimenting to hybridize the cotton
plant that grows wild in Florida with
the common okra. The cotton plant
used is that of a species which is found
on the lowlands of the Caloosahatchie
river. The new plant retains the okra
stalk and the foliage of the cotton. Its
flower and fruit, however, is strikingly
unlike either the okra or cottou plant.
The plant has an average heigth of two
feet, and each plant has only one bloom.
! 1 his is a magnificent flower, very much
j like the great magnolia, is fragrance
; and equally as latge. Like the cotton
. lilooui. the flower is white tor three
; days after it opens, after which it is first
I pale pink, and gradually assumes darker
. shades of this color until it is red. and
: then drops, disclosing a wonderful boll.
' For about ten da3s this boll resembles
j the cotton boll, and then its growth sud-
der.ly increases as if by m;igic until it
; finally reaches the size of a cocoanut.
j Not until it reaches this siz does the
Jint appear. Then its snowy white
threads Ix-gin to burst from the boll,
1 but are held securely in their place by
! the okra-like thorns, or points that line
the boll,
j One experienced picker can gather
1 800 jounds a day, and fast hands much
more. Were the only saving that of la
lnr in gathering the lint, the result of
Mr. Suber's experiment would entitle
him to the everlasting gratitude of the
Souther farmer. But this is not all
there are no seeds in the lint. Each
boll produces about two pounds of long
staple cotton, superior to the sea island,
and at the bottom of the boll there are
from four to six seeds, resembling per
simmon seed. This rew cotton, there
fore, needs no ginning.

I'oison in E very-Day Food. Com
mittees of experts fell of adulteration
in food that i simply appalling. Were
the ingredients which are mixed with
food innocuous it would still be a very
great hardship ; but when it is known
that the most violent poisons are em
ployed it is a marvel that the whole
country does not rise up and put a stop
to such practices and punish all dealers
who sell ioisonous articles of food. If
confirmation of these startling state
ments were needed, one has only to read
the facts recently brought to light in
Chicago, where it is impossible to find
pure sugar, and where 10 per cent, of
the milk is good. In that city the bread
without exception is poisonous, the teas
were imiiorted. but are made ot leaves
lifaced,? with Prussian blue and elimin
ate of lead. Seventy-five per cent, of the
cream of trtar is white earth, and the
coffee is coated with lamp-black. But
Chicago is no worse than any other city.
Baking powders are largely composed
of alum. Pickling fluid is diluted with
sulphuric acid, alum and verdigris to
give it a peculiar flavor. The manufac
ture of a great deal of our confectionery
should be punished as a crime, for much
of the candy sold to children is simply a
lump of white earth, made attractive to
the eye with arsenical paint, and sweet
ened with glucose. Costly spices are
j counterfeited in a terribly grotesque
j manner, the flavoring being given by
; the rankest poisons. In thesei and other
i adulterations arsenic plays the largest
part. Ve import aunually 2,000,0u0
Iounds of this deadly poison 1 cenj-'s
worth of which would kill 2,800 people
and the bulk of this impoit is used in
the preparation of food and clothing.

A SOAP RECIPE.
Tbe Lfmfon DruyjLtt contfiined re
cently r carefully written article on oap
making, from which we boriow the fol
lowing :
It s perfectly ea.y to make a few
pounds of sonp at a time with this arti
cle. No boiling pans are required, and
it is about r.s easy to make a dozen lbs.
of soap as it is to make a cop of coffee ;
or a few hundred weight of soap can
l-e maue with I-ss care and attention
than is required to make a Jozen loaves
of bread. The, following simple recipe
if exactly followed, will always prove
successful :
'Take exactly ten pounds of double
refined 98 per cent, caustic soda powder
(Greenbank), put it in any can or Jar
with forty-five pounds (four and a half
galious of water, stir it once or twice,
when it will dissolvw immediately and
become quite hot. Let it stand until
the ley thus made it cold. Weigh out
and place in any convenient vessel for
mixing, exactly seventy-five pounds of
clean grease tallow or oil, not mineral
oil. If grease or tallow be used, melt
it slowly over the fire until it is liquid
and just warm say temperture not over
100 degrees ; if oil be used no heating is
required. Pour the ley slowly into
the melted grease or oil, in a small con
tinuous steam, at the same time stir
ring with a flat wooded stirrer about
three inches broad. Continue gently
stirring until the ley and grease are
thoroughly combined, and in appearance
like honey. Do not stir too long or the
mixture will again separate itself. The
time required varies with the weather,
and the kind of tallow, grease or oil
used ; fifteen to twenty minutes will be
enough. Afterthe mixing is complet
ed, pour off the liquid soap into any old
square box for a mould, sufficiently large
to hold it, previously dampening the
sides with water to prevent it from
sticking. Wrap up the box well with
old blaukets or better still, put in a
warm place, until the next day, when
the box will contain a block of one hun
dred and thirty pounds of soap, which
can afterwards be cut with a wire.
Remember the chief points in the
above directions, which must be exact
ly followed. The ley must be allowed
to cool. If melted tallow and grease be
used, it must not be morenhan warm.
The exact weights of double refined 98
per cent powered caustic soda and tal
low or all must be taken ; also the ley
must be stirred into the grease not
grease or oil added to the ley. If the
grease or tallow used be not clean, or
contains salt, it must be "rendered,'- or
purified previous to use, that is to say,
boiled with water, and allowed to become
hard again to throw out the impurities.
Any salt present will spoil the whole
operation entirely, but discolored, rancid
grease or tallow is just as good as fresh
for soap making purposes.
EDIBLE LOCISTS.
Not a few commentators have stumb
led over the statement that John the
Uaptist "did eat locusts." Not know
ing that in the east locusts are eaten,
even in these days, it was suggested
that some sort of bean was meant.
There is a bean, which may be found
at some drug stores, known as the St,
John bean, the name, doubtless, being
given from the mistaken notion that it
represented the "locusts'' referred to.
The following extracts from Lady
Hhint's "Pilgrimage to Nejd" sets the
matter at rert, by showing that locusts
are eaten to-day in Arabia :
Locusts are now a regular portion of
the day's provision with us, and are real
ly an excellent article of diet. After
trying them in several ways, we have
come to the conclusion that they are
best plain boiled.
The long, hopping legs must be pulled
off and the locusts held by the wins',
dippet! into salt and eaten. As to 11a vor,
this insect tastes of vegetable rather
than fish or flesh, not unlike green
wheat, and to us supplies the place of
vegetables, of which we are much in
need.
The red locust is better eating than
the green one. Red is said to be the fe
male, and green the male, but some say
all are green at first and become red
afterwards.
For catching locusts, the morning is
the time, when they are half benumbed
by the cold and their wings are damp
with dew. so that they cannot fly. They
may then be found clustered under the
dessert bushes in hundreds, and can be
gathered without trouble by being shov
eled into a bag or basket. Later on the
sun dries their wings and they are dirtl
cult to capture, having intelligence suf
ficient to keep just out of reach when
pursued. Flying, they look extremely
like May flies, being carried side-on to
the wind. They can steer themselves
just as much as flying fish do, and can
alight where they like. In fact, they
seldom let themselves be drifted against
by men or camels, and seem able to cal
culate exactly the reach of a stick.
They devour everything vegetable,
and are devoured by everything animal,
desert larks and bustards, ravens, hawks
and buzzards. The camels munch them
in with their food, the greyhounds run
snapping after them all day long, eating
as many as they can catch. The Be
douins often give them to the horses,
and Am ward says that this year many
tribes have nothing to eat just now but
locusts and camel's milk.
Some TniNOs Wortii Knowing.
That fish may be scaled much easier by
5rst dipping them in boiling water for
a minute.
That salt fish are quickest and best
freshened by soaking iu sour milk.
That milk which has changed may be
sweetened or rendered Et for use again
by stirring in a little soda.
That salt will curdle new milk, hence
in preparing milk porridge, gravies, etc.
the salt should not be added until the
j dish is prepared.
That fresh meat, begining to sour, will
sweeten if placed out of doors in the air
al! night.
That a tablesroonf ul of turpentine,
boiled with your white clothes, will aid
the whitening process.
That beeswax and salt will make
your rusty flatirons as clean and smooth
as glass. Tie a lump of wax in a rag
and keep it for that purpose. When
the irons are hot, rnb them first with
the wax rag, then scour with a paper, or
cloth sprinkled with salt.
That kerosene will soften boots or
shoes that have been hardened by wa
ter, ana win render pliable as new.
That cold rain water and soap will re
move machine grease from washable fa
brics. Permanent Lemonade. Some com
petent sanitary and bibulous authority
asserts that when people feel the need
of an acid, if they would let vinigar
alone and use lemons or apples they
would feel just as well satisfied and re
ceive no injury. A good suggestion mav
not come amiss as to a good plan when
lemons are plentiful and cheap. Pur
chase several dozen and prepare them
for use in the warm days of suiLmer
when acids, especially citic and molic'
or the acids of lemons are no grateful
and useful. Press your band on the
lemon an roll it back and forth on the
table to make it squeeze more easilv
then press the juice Into a bowl or tum
blernever into tin ; strain out all the
Bwas, as iney give a bad taste. Remove
all the pulps to extract the acid. A
few minutes' boiling is enough ; then
strain the water with the juice of the
lemons ; put a pound of white sugar to
apintof the juice : boil ten minuses and
bottle it. and rnnr lpmnn mmtr. igmi-
Put a tablespoon ful ortwocf this eyl
rup in a glass of water, and you have a
cool, healthful drink.
