The craving for salt in animals Is
natural and not a result of the care of
man. When this country was wild eve
ry salt spring was frequented by deer, a
fact that was taken advantage of by
hunters for their capture. Near the
ocean less salt Is required than farther
inland, owing to the fact that the at
mosphere Is in a degree charged with
fait, and this is Imparted to growing
crops through the dews and rain.

Tt Preeess Grapes Are Pat Tbreuga
' Before OTshed Oat as Raisins.
Ttie grapes' are pnrcbaaed on the
viofcs, some by ctaa! weight, others by
estimating the erop by ; weighing the
product of every tenth Tine, writes a
correspondent of the SomerTil! Jotanal.
Good judges can make a pretty close
guess at the number of tons on an acre
of tines, and years of practice enables
the bayer to tell. Very nearly not only
the amount but also the quality of rais
ins to be made from the Vines which
grow on different soils.
TBft" grapes" &rf picked by ' crews of
inen nnder experienced formen, and are
plttced in trays of wooden frames,
which are put on wagons and taken to
the scales, weighed and then taken to
the drying grounds. These consist of
about sixty acres of land cleaned and
smoothed like a brick yard, and the
grapes are spread out to dry in the sun.
Ten days to two weeks from the "lying
down" is usually about the time required
to dry them, and then those thoroughly
cured are taken up and put in sweat
boxes. Probably one-third are not yet
cured, and these are turned over and
placed in narrow rows until the action
of old Sol has made them ready.
The enormous quantity of grapes han
dled by one firm can be estimated when
It is known that at one time this sixty
acre plot was covered and a portion of it
covered the second time. Teams are
continually coming and going, and a
small army of men are employed to
take care of the grapes and keep the
teams in motion. Many women and
girls are a!so employed in picking up
the loose raisins which have fallen from
the stems. The trays are of a number
and capacity to hold three hnndred tons
of grapes. Another thing which catch
es the eye at the drying ground Is the
preparations made for possible rains, in
the shape of rolls of oiled paper stacked
in all directions. This paper is in
sheets about four feet in width and
sixteen feet long, prepared to resist
the raic by being dipped in boiling oil.
When properly dried the grapes are
taken up and put in sweat-boxes, proba
bly seventy-five or one hundred pounds
to the box, and hauled to the packing
house, where they are piled from floor
to ceiling in the large front room.
They are left here some ten days, and
pass through a sweating process, the
object being to equalize the moisture
contained in them. When placed in
boxes some are made, drier than others,
but when ready for the packer the in
tention is to make them, as nearly as
possible, equal and uniform in that re
gard. Four layers are placed in a box.
and each layer is weighed bj the packer,
and the whole must make exactly the
twenty pounds required. t
When a box is filled the packer takes
it to the scales near the donr, presided
over by an expert in the business, who
carefully weighs and examines it, and.
if all right, it is carried to the next
room, where it is nailed up and the cor
ners smoothed off, and it is ready for
the shipment. Particular care is exer
cised in grading and weighing. About
123 men are employed in and about the
packing bous, and a "steady stream of
boxes" is kept going around the circle.
About 1,500 boxes a day were being
turned out, or three car loads every two
days.
The first arch aeopteryx. the fossil
remains of the oldest known bird, which
seems to form the connecting link be
tween bird? and reptiles, was discovered
in the lithographic slate of Solenhofen
in 1861. Another specimen, recently
found in the same locality, has been
sold for $5,000 to the Berlin Museum.
A ruined city, hitherto entirely un
known, has been discovered in the prov
ince of Adana, Asia Minor.

MULLEIN IS COSSCMPTIOJ.
What the DorUrs Say pr Value In the
Earlier Stages rfirw UsH.
Dr. Qalnlan, of Dublin, read before
the International Medical Congress, at
Copenhagen,' last year, an interesting
paper on the medical qualities of mul
lein. It has attracted widespread atten
tion, and among the more recent arti
cles confirmatory of Dr.- Qainlan's
statement is one by Dr, Wilfert, of Cin-
.- t : . : V , ..
Eiuuiki, wuicu a)iieain iu wio imt uum-
bor Of tbfl Lancet and Clinie, Of that
.... 7
city. From the results .obtained In 127 I
cases of pulmonary consumption treated
by Dr. Quinlan alone, he draWS the fol- T
lowing conclusions, which arecondenaed
from the original article, viz :
1. In the earlier and pretubercular
stages of pulmonary consumption, mul
lein has a weight increasing and a cur
ative power greater than that of cod
liver oil, and equal to that of Bussian
koumiss.
2. In cases where tubercles are well
established or cavities exist, the mullein
has great power in relieving cough a
great . boon to consumptives, whose
weak stomachs too frequently cannot
tolerate the usual cough remedies.
3. Phthisical diarrhoea is completely
obviated by the mullein.
4. Mullein has no power or effect on
the night sweats of consumptives, which
should be combated by atropia sul
phate. The method of using the mullein,
which originated among the Irish peas
antry and was adopted by Dr. Quinlan
just as he found it, is as follows : Thtee
ounces of the fresh green leaves, or
about ten times that much of the dried,
are boiled in a pint of fiesh cow's milk.
After boiling a moment in the fusion It
is allowed to stand and 'sipe" for ten
minutes, when it Is strained, sweetened
and drunk when warm. This quantity
is taken twice or three times a day. It
is generally much relished by the pa
tients, who regard it as a pleasant arti
cle of diet rather than a medicine. The
smoke of the mullein inhaled into the
respiratory passage relieves irritation
and spasmodic cough.
Dr. Wilfert states that he has follow
ed Dr. Quinlan 's method in 20 cases of
undoubted pulmonary phthisic, all of
them more or less advanced, and all im
proved during the administration of
mullein, no other dings being used.
These results are certainly very encour
aging, and should be followed up.
-Prof. E. Loomis finds that in the
United Mates a low pressure area, with
only org system of cyclonic winds, fre
quently 1as a diameter of sixteen hun
dred mile's; and that cyclones across the
Atlantic frequently have diameters of
two thousand miles. Widespread areas
of low barometric pressure having sev
eral centres rf crclonic action, may
have a diameter o' five thousand miles,
or may even focm a belt extending near
ly, if not entirely around the globe be
tween the parallels of 40 and 50 uorth
latitude. On thether hand, tropical
cyclones are often osly five bundled
miles or even less in diameter. In the
United States the Signal Service record
for thirteen years shows that the aver
rate of progress of storms for the year is
23.4 miles per hour, rising to the maxi
mum, 34.2 miles in February, and fall
ing to the minimum, 22.6 miles in Aug
ust. Ic Europe storms travel much
more slowly, the mean rate of progress
during the five years ending 1BS0 being
16.7 miles, reaching tne maximum of 19
miles in October, and falling to the
minimum of 24 miles in August.
A German Geographer and statisti
ican. Dr. A. Fischer, estimates that an
annual slaughter of 40,000 elephants is
necessary to supply the ivory exported
from Africa.
