Ordiniry fruit acids are said ; to act

which persons. were made violently sick
from eating - fruit preserved in tin cans,
no foreign substance except the tin being
found in the fruit.
SI WSVILLE Tuomrsox has estimated
that the pressure upon a man's body at a
depth of 12,000 feet beneath the surface
of the sea would be equal to a weight of
twenty locomotives, each. with a train
loadcd'with pig iron.
ESEINF-NT' oculists having pronounced
the readim, , ot Germatt.text to be injuri
ions to the eyes, the Berneie government
tcsolved to discontinue its use as
.much as, possible, and all their official an ,
„nouneements will henceforth be printed
exclusively in Roma& characters.
Exciv.vrioNs commenced a short dis
tance from the walls of Pompeii, with a
view of ascertaining the nature of the sur
rounding of the city, have led to the dis
covery, within an area of a few square
yards, of thirty skeletons, ten of which
were huddled together in one room of a
guburbauvillas` BracClets, neckla
ces, ear-rings, and other objects, were
found uron the bones.-
A warren ill the Jetta' Ath World points
out that, contrary to the received, idea,
the elder liabbins of the Talmud taught
that the world was round: - This is stiown
by a passage in which, in•discushii3g 41ol
atiy, the figures holding in the hand a
a bird or a globe were
tbe!iaton symbolizes
_the dominion
of the world, the bird that the World lies
be oath it, and the globe is forbidden be:
cause it L resernbles the form of the world

itself.
ACCORDING to the studies of M. Hebert,
the—storms . which reach the European
coast from America originate fur the most
part in Mexico, •Central America, and the
northei tr - parts of South America; but
they du not generally strike the Atlantic;
until-they have traversed 'a more or less
extended part of the length of the North
American continent. The storms which
• originate in the United States reach
Greenland, or pass the noighborhood of
Iceland or the Faro Islands, too far away
to effect Europe.

INA paper: on the organs of smell in in
seers: Gustare'llause describes several in
Westing experiments. Numerous species
of insects, on approaching vessels contain
ing turpentine, or oxetic acid,- showed—
Lt
retreating and moving their autrinal
distinct perception of the• smell. Af
ter the ends of the.antenme had :been cut'
oft, the same insects placed close to the
ves.zeis appeared quite insensible. to the
otiors. A number of which had
been attracted by a piece of Putrid mea
showed no inclination tb apprOach it after
poi tams of the antenna: had been cut off.
THE obscure poison which produtes hy
drophobia has been known to lie intent
in the human system for years before de
vseloping its fatal results. M. Pasteur de
clare?: the stipposition to be wcll . support,
el that the virus does develop 'in certain
organs, and not, as in other similar mala
dies, in the. blood ; anA that when—after
a period .s;:aiable according to circum
stances—the organized poison passes into
the-bloocl severe symptioms come on rap
idly, and the..victim noon dies. An expla
'llation_substantiallY the saute as this had
long been advanced as a mere theory, but
now - M. Pasteur advances it as au ascer
tained physiological fact.
A. criuors experiment in heat is per
formed with an apparatus devised by Dr.
Grassi. The apparatus consists of three
concentric vessels, separated:.by annular
spaces of about three-fonfths of an inch.
The outer space is tilled With - . oil, and the
inner with water. The oil is heated to
. a
point aboye 212 degrees Fahrenheit, when .
the water begins to boil. Oil heated to
300 degrees is then poured into the cen
• trap vessel, and falls rapidly to a temper.:
mute about that of the boiling water.
D. Grassi rinds that this central oil cools
. the mord , quickly the gfeater the heat of
the cuter ring of oil—a result seemingly
very paradoxical.
- TuE death was lately announced of Mr.
F. A. tcobert whose flue rulings on glass
have given him a world-wide : celebrity.
As- test-plates for the • power of mtero
scopes he ruled bands of lines &. varyitl
fineness from 11,200 to 120,000 . to;the
English inelr. It was formerly his4Pin
ion that lines so fine as the 1-112; 00th of
an inch would never . ' be seen resolved in
the microscope. This feat was accom
plished, however, by Ur. Woodward ;
when Nobert immediately produced a
new plate, having one band of lines of a.'
fineness of 224,000 to •the English inch.
Whether or not these minute lines will
ever be seen cannot now be safely predict-
Mr. Nobert has always been very
reticent in regard to his methods, and it
is thought
_probably that no -one is ac i .
quainted with the seerete of his success.
It may therefore befall LIS that Nobert's
m:droseopie ruling is to be counted among
the lost arts."
Tue. presence of disagreeable odors in
the atmosphere was the source of consid
erable'annoyance-to the people in certain
districts of , Paris last summer. , The
smells were found to originate in a ca.-
tain establishment where refuse matter is
manufactured into fertilize; s. .31. Boti-
chardat, of tho Paris medical faculty, has
examined the question - of the effect of
, •these emanations upon health, and bas
a3oncluded that they aro innocent. lie
does not believe that they convey with
them the germs of disease, and rinds that
-the gases of which they are composed do
not load the, air enough to produce a per
ceptible poisoning. Assuming that con - -
tagious diseases should manifest them
• stives within eight on ten days after the
planting-of the germs, the weekly health.
bulletins'of the year have been examined
to learn if any increase of mortality fol
l Owed the introduction of the unpleasant
.odors. No such inereme has been de
tected. 7
DR. S'ANGFELoi has tried a. number of
substances for destroying inisoroscopic
life in drinking water, 11113 most striking
Osults being attained from citric acid.
When one part of the acid was added to
thousand parts otl water, life ceased in
from one-half to two minutes. Micro
scopic examinations - showed that those
forms of anitnalcuLm having a thick scaly,
v. covering are not affected by the - diluto ci
tric
coatings. The greater part of these un
-- welcome visitors belong, however, to the
'latter class, whiletlie former are' visible
1 to the naked eye, so that a solution of the
strength mentioned will suffice as a safe
guard. The dead animalculie• immediate
ly settle to the bottom of the vessel con.
taming the water, and mag --- be found in
the sediment. The solution of citric acid
al oils quickly, and it is recommended that
• it be freshly prepared every day.

it Nut liwilhaid.
In this section no doubt the eply
varieties are planted by this time,
but the later kinds should not be de.
layed longer than possible, as-some
of them, such as the Peachblow and
Peerless, , require full time in which,
to grow.
_lf manure is used it will
be found an advantage to heavily
broa4cast the location after plough=
ing and then work it, in well with a
harrow. Such manure must be thor
oughly, rotted. It is not only useless
and wasteful -to use fresh manure on
potatoes, but detrimental, as it often
causes rot and detracts from the
keeping qualities. No potato has,
been introduced as yet that can com
pare with the Peachblow in keeping
qualities, but it has the objection of
growing all vine until just previous
to forming tubers, and this it seems
to do very suddenly. It is not easy
to -jcidge of the prospective crop by
the growth of the 'One on this lvarie.
ty: .I alt other respects it is iicom
parable.
Oh light sandy soils the Magnum
Bonum is best _adapted, as it will of :
ten produce ei soils that grow no
other kind. . ,
Chemical fertilizers are better for
potatoes 'than stable manure, - =owing
to the injury to 4 the tubers by . the
latter, and the ptincipal ingredient
of so* fertilizers is potash. For an
acre'of potatoes enough should be
used to not only make up what would
be taken from the soil by the crop,
.but also sufficient to produce. more
than usual. One thousand pounds of
-the-ashes-of potatoes contain about
500 pounds of potislu.and a little
over 100 pounds of phosphoric acid.'
Of course, it takes a great amoun!,-
of t potatoes to get 1000 pounds, of
ashes, but - it teaches us' to feed our
crops with that which will give the
best results instead'of applying ma
im a'& hazard. - The tops are to' be
supplied also, and lime here comes
into \ use.__Without intending to give
a complete formula of chemicals, the
following would be a fair proportion
of each : Mariate of potash, 250
pounds; plaster, 200 pounds; super
phosphate, • 150 pounds; nitrate of
soda,, 75 pounds: This would cost
about $lO, and would not only repay
_its original cost but would increase
the number and 'size of Ih'e tubers.
Apply broadcast and lightly harrow
in. It is best, however, for farmers
to experiment with small patch be
fore trying the chemicals extensively,
as soils differ,
and too much is a
waste. Instead of chemicals, if pre
ferred, use wood ashes and plaster
mixed, to which should be added a
bag of superphosphate to the acre.
Use all the ashes possible, as there
will he no danger of applying too
much. Ou sandy, dry soils a mulch
around the yin's is beneficial, fur it,
will not only retain , moisture, but
assist in keeping down the grass and
weeds. A' little gt-u 9 is sotnaimes
used on potatoes, but this vegetable
does' not need it to a very_great ex
tent. The potash in the wood ashes
is in a caustic state, and They 'should
not be mixed with any kind of mate
rial that is rich'i n ammonia, they

Cultiyation of-Potatoes._
Care of Young TuriKeys.
One of the, most seriou objections
to ra6' ~-nr--t-ii-r-keys--fof market, is the
great , loss occurring among tiem
i
when very young / ndeed this is the
; greatest difficulty the farmer has to
;overcome in_their management, for
Vince beyond „the downy period, and
I 'fentherin°' Well oVer, the. task 'be-'
0 /
,ttomes an / easy one. - No mother is
equal- to / the turkey hen, in caring, for
them,,nd it is no advaritageto place
Turk y eugs — undet a common -hen
1 wh n it is desired to hatch them.
I \ First of all the greatest care should
I 'be exercised that no dampness should
:re eh them, as it is surely fatal. They
sho Id be kept closely confined under
a-coop that is water tight Until the
sun ha evaporated all 'the Moisture
from th\grass, and . 'at evening they
should b put up - again before the.
sun goes own..d Next, comes regu
larity in . fee Ming. The usual -eukotn .
is to feed th in three times a day,
and, while Ilia will answer to a cer
tain e*tent for chickens,-. young chlens,-. -- it I
will not suffice 'f r , young- turkeys;
The difference is in the time of
feathering. 'Voting . turkeys feather
very rapidly, .and du . n.g the process
the system is taxed - t its utmost to
supply the demand oecasipned.by the '
rapid feathering. - For tAt, ;reason
they should be fed . very. oaten. - . Ali
omission of feed • for a tog time '
will . occasion death, - and .tif food
should vary, and not be of one -ind
-I•%\i
Ilard-boiled - eggs chppped.fine ni . ed
with onions (tops and ba s ks), is x . -
cellent. Oatmeal, coarsely. °Fount
- screenings of *heat and :.racked corn
furnish a changeable diet, and if soft
food is given it shOuld be made by
boilin° potatoeS and thickening them
With fine bran. In giving soft food
-always - Salt to taste, as_turkeys need
salt as well as animals, but avoid an
excess. .
As soon as 4 . the dangerous period
of feathering has_passed• they may be
allowed to ramble at will. In 'tab:se
e-a fields they perform the work of
`,`worming picking:ott every green
worm that can
,be found in a field - of
tobacco or tomatoes. They-are great
foragers, and grasshoppers and near
ly all:kinds of inseets ,are cleared off
a farm where they have - liberty to
forage. One gobbler is sufficient for
protect
their young vigorously if attacked.
When abOut half grown_ the young
males engage' in battle, which does
not .end until one.of them is master,
and often a 'whole flock may ..be seen
warring with each .Other. , Turkeys
are very profitable,' and, on farms
that have plenty, of
,range, will re
turn a greater equivalent . for the
far the amount of 'capital.inveSted in
them than anything else. If they
are hatchell= under-aL_communhen
they will often go into the coops at
night and . roost inside with other,
poultry, but, when hatched under a
turkey hen, they invariably prefer - to
roost 'on- the.: branches: of trees or
some high' location.' They can be
taught, to come at. the call if they are
fed with regularity. Always give
theni a feed when they come up at
night. This teaches them to expect
it ; and-at-a certain Period every
-vening they will come for their food
and.therop to roost. - : J..
Why Some Fowls Flo not 'Pay.
A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman says " The writer knows
many who band . given up keeping
fowls because the value of the few
eggs and lean chickens obtained was
far less than the expense incurred
for food, coops,.ete. ' I am acquaint
ed with many enterprising farmeig
'Who are alive , tO, all improvements in
planting and - gatherl4l- their crops,
and other matters • on.. their • farms,
arid yet denounce'. poUltry-raising for
Eats as an expensive humbug,
VW Procure -a •few good hens to
start - - with, and set them in the •
spring, and as Beim as the young are
a few days or even a few. houre aid, .
they give them their liberty, and
take no notice of them, thinking
they will find a place. to sleep - wheri
ght-comes-ort, - and they give only
a little corn on the ground during
the day. The young - chicks soon be
come deforined from the effects of
sleeping out in the dew before they
are fledged. The same farmer, when
the cold weather came On, began t o
fix up a dilapidated pig-pen by the
addition of a' few old laths,- where
glass had gone as a coop for the •
hens. On the, first :cold day many
chickens were frozen to death, and
the reniainder so paralyzed by the
cold as to be useless:for laying. Th e
foils live thus till spring, when the
farmer goes in search of -eggs, an , l
not finding_any, he tell* his friend; ,
that fowls do not pay cost, and thus
injures the keeping of poultry in hi,
section. '.Fbis is no supposed ea,P,
but is true of many farmers all over
the land. It is no wonder that fo*l
do not pay under such_ cireuinAaii.

Manuring Fruit Trees.

made during the months of May and/
