FACTS AND COMMENTS. During and including the p.ist four years the United States ha proJticedin the apffregate 20,131,471 bales of cot ton, 914,500,000 pounds of wool, 1,718, flU2,S!!) bushels of wheat, 0,816,214,440 biiRhels corn, and has exported $40, 800,3.'il in live stock and $1,427,317,292 in other food. In the cabooses attached to freight trains on the Eric railroad thcro is placed an automatic contrivance called the ' tell-tale," which registers all the stop pages and the rate of speed over every foot of the road. Freight trains are not allowed to run more than fifteen milos an hour, and if this speed is exceeded the fact is at once disclosed on inspec tion of the apparatus. The wife of a clergyman in Des Moines, la., has a Sunday-school which is not attended by children, as might have been supposed, but by " business men, professional men and thinkers." The class has become so largo that it has been found necessary to take it into the body of the church, where it forms a small congregation of itself. This looks very much like the wife's running an opposition to her husband. Carelessness, says James Ilarrisou, secretary of the New York underwriters' bureau of survey, is the great cause of flrf 8. In seven years, 1874 to 1880, in clusive, New York city had 0,188 fires. Two out of five, 2,579, were due to hot anhos, pipes, cigars, matches and can dles; nearly another fifth, 938, hprang from foul chimneys, 477 from defective fines, and 578 from kerosene lamps. Extra-hazardous inflammable materials lead to comparatively few fires. The alarming statement is now made, on the authority of a New York physi cian of more than forty years' practice, that for the first time 'in 'the history of that city true spotted typhus fever, which only originates where great filth abounds, has made its appearance with out being traced to importat:on in the shape of ship fever. This is an an nouncement which is well calculated to intensify the excitement regarding the terrible filth of the streets of the metropolis. Since the assussination of the czar extraordinary precautionary measures have been taken to secure the safety of Queen Victoria while traveling by rail way. During a recent journey to Lon don a train of empty carriages was run about a quarter of on hour in advunce cf the queen's special train, which it pilot ed throughout the trip from Windsor to Paddington, while the entire distance between the Windsor terminus and the metropolis was guarded by platelayers stationed at regular intervals along' the route, and well within sight of each other. An interesting paper has been recent ly read by Dr. Phene, at Edinburg, on the benefits to be derived from plant ing tiees in cities. Among the beneficial results to be attained are, ho stated, the relief to the optic nerve through the eye resting on objects of a green color. Just that which is effected by the use of green or blue glasses in 'strength ening and sustaining the power of sight is attained, or at any rate much aided, by the presence of green in nature; and in streets the only method to procure this result is by planting trees. It was pointed out by the outhor that wherever opportunity exists nature provides green and bluo (the latter being the same color minus tho presence of yellow), pud that as the absence of color produces snow blindness, and in tropical calms, where the ocean presents only a white reflect ed light from a uniform glassy surface, reduced optical power soon follows a long continuance of the absence of blue color, which becomes immediately ap parent on motion of the waves. They have in Vienna an organization for the preservation of the public health which watches closely the articles sold for food, and from 'time to time has samples chemically analyzed. Investi gations of this character were conducted on an extensive scale during the past year. Of milk, 950 specimens were analyzed. Most of it had been skimmed and diluted with water; some had come from diseased cows, and some was thick ened with borax, soda and soap. Butter was analyzed to tho extent of 310 sam ples. All of it contained an excessive proportion of water, and much of it was adulterated with fat. lard or etearine. Lard coming from America and Hun gary had borax and lime. Of 1,190 specimens of Hungarian and Austrian wine fifty-two were artificial concoction. Artificial coloring matter and excessive proportions of water were found in many. Pilsner beer contained soda and Vienna beer glycerine. Of liquors, seventy-two hail traces of arsenic or lopper, bebides injurious flavoring and perfuming ingredients. Ground coffee was mainly roasted trrain. acorns mnl chicory. Even bread was badlv adul terated. The Jeannette search expedition to the Arctic ocean is expected to sail from San Francisco soon. It will be remembered that when the Jeannette sailed, her com mander arranged witu the navy deport ment to leave records of his cruise at cer tain points. One of tho chosen places is the southeast corner of Wrangel island, and the first stop on the search will prob- abfy be made there about the first of August. If no message should be found at that point, the expedition vessel will proceed to Herald island in the hope of finding there some trace of the missing steamer. Tho search along the coast of these two islands will probably take two months, when theArctio winter will begin. The searching party will then find a secure harbor at Wrangle island, and, if this is not possible, cross over to Siberia and go into winter quarters there. During the winter sledge parties will be organized and sent out in search of news of the Jeannette. Captain Berry, who will command the Helen and Mary, will be governed entirely by the information he may receive after reaching the Arctic regions. His orders are not to stay north more than one winter, but to pros ecute the search after spring opens iu 1882, and remain until the winter sets in again, and then return to San Fran cisco. It is proposed to hold in London dur ing the first week of next August an in ternational medical congress, and the arrangements are already sufficiently ad vanced to warrant the belief that it will be the largest and most important gath ering of the kind ever held. Four thou- sand invitations have been sent out to medical men in all parts of the world, I and the responses indicate that at least ' half this number will attend. Some of ! the most eminent men in the profession in England are taking an activ interest in the projwsed congress, whioh will be presided over by Sir James Pacot. and of which the queen and Prince of Wales have consented to bo patrons. Pour general addresses will be given by as many men of distinguished Interna tional reputation, representing France, Germany, America and England. Pro fessor Huxley, who is a member of the ltoyal College of Surgeons, as well as a man of science, has accepted the respon sibility of delivering the English ad dress. In the vast range of topics which the discussion and papers will embrace, perhaps none will excite a livelier in terest than military surgery and medi cine. The chief subjects under this head will bo tho hygiene of armies and fieots, tho health of' soldiers at home and abroad, and the best means of extending to field and other temporary hospitals the recent improvement in the treatment of wounds and injuries by what is called the antiseptic method. POPULAR SCIENCE. M. Shvedoff endeavors to maintain in the Journal of tho Russian Phvsical and Chemical society that hail is of cosmic origin and is a variety of meteorites. A German chemist lias established the valuable fact that wood impregnated with parafine oil is preserved for many years from rot, even under circum stances most favorable to decay. A correspondent of Nature gives the following natural experiments with po larized light : Break off a plate of ice and hold it between the sky and a pool of water. Its reflected image will show the beautiful colors due to polarized light. The incident rays should come from a part of the sky about ninety de grees from the sun, and reflection should take place at the polarizing angle for water, and the plate will prob ably require adjusting to bring out the maximum effect. Statistics show that since 1854 there has been art-increase of risk from light ning in various parts of Germany, Aus tria and Switzerland, while there is no corresponding increase in the number of thunder-storms. Herr Holtz, who has been investigating this matter, in clines to tho belief that the causes for the greater liability of danger from lightning are to be sought in the chancres J produced of late by man on the surface of the earth ; such as the clearing of forests, tho increase of railroads, and the great use made of iron in the con struction of houses. A report by Dr. H. Trimen, of Ceylon, on india rubber, states that the plant which produces the Ceara rubber is very hardy, and will grow in a dry, rough soil and in a moderate dry, hot atmosphere, while the Para and' West India rubber plant require a rich al luvial soil and a constantly hot, moist a mosphere The tree grows to a heighs of about thirty feet, and has a dense rounded crown. In two years it attains a diameter of four or five inches, when it may be tapped. The cultivation of this tree will reduce the price of rubber to a reasonable rate. M. Chappuis thinks that the blue of ihe sky may bo due to ozone present in the upper regions of the sky. He argues that the electrical discharges constantly taking place will produce ozone; and the recent researches of himself and M. Hantefenille have shown that ozone, at any rate when near its condensed point, is of a blue tint. He has examined the absorption-spectrum of ozone and finds nine dark bands in it, three at least of which correspond with known bauds in the telluric S2ectrum. WISE WOKDS. Fortune unmasks men. A boaster's virtues are on the sur face. It is the worst wheel that squeaks the most. Better three hours too soon than one minute too late. Experience is tho name men give to their follies or their sorrows. Discontent is tho want of self-reliance, it is tho infirmity of will. Good breeding shows itself most where to an ordinary eye it appears the least. Stay not until you are told of op portunities to do good; inquire after them. The worst education that teaches self denial is better than the best that teaches everything else and not that. Opportunities are very sensitive things; if you slight them on their first visit you seldom see them again. Self-respect is the noblest garment with which a man may clothe himself the most elevating feeling with which the mind can bo inspired. The law of the harvest is to reap more than you sow. Sow an act and you reap a habit; sow a habit and you reap a character; 6ov a character and you reap a destiny. We perhaps never detect how much of our social demeanor is made up of artificial airs until we see a person who is at once beautiful and simple; without the beauty we are apt to call simplicity awkwardness. A cheerful temper, joined with inno cence, will make beauty attractive, knowledge delightful and wit good-natured. It will lighten sickness, poverty and affliction, convert ignorance into an amiable simplicity and render deformity itself agreeable. Sunflowers fur Fuel. Says the Nelson ville (Minn.) Moun taineer: The Emerson Liternaliu.tul publishes an article headed "Corn for Fuel," and gives an extract from the Jackson Republican showing that lor heating purposes corn is much cheaper than wood. We have always been of the opinion that a much more econom ical fuel than wood can be grown by prairie farmers, but doubt if corn can be made a success in this country. ye recollect seeing an article some time ago recommending the growth of the common garden sunflower for pur poses of fuel, and at the time were much impressed with the arguments ad vanced. We believe that some such rapidly growing and bulky vegetable as the sut flower is the true solution of the fuel question in this country. The seed of sunflower abounds in oil of a very combustible nature, and the stalks burn freely. An immense quantity can be grown to the acre, and the plant is thoroughly adapted to our soil and cli mate. Mr. William Cowan, of this place, had a patch a few years ago that exactly resembled a grove of Tounor for est trees, iue staiKs were stout and straight as young poplars, and shot up to a height of from twelve to fifteen lee.

Every farmer and gardener should personally test the Beeds he puchases, as well as those he saved last year, before Rowing those intended to raise a crop. It is but little trouble to test seeds in ad vance, and it frequently happens that by doing so a total failure of a crop may lie avoided. No ono, wants . to sow seeds that will not grow, because if the first put in the gronnd fails, the season will usually be too far advanced before the failure is discovered for a re-sowing or planting. A few shallow boxes or flower pots is all that is required for testing seeds in a house where tho heat is suffi cient to insure growth. It is always well to note the proportion of seed's that sprout in order to know how thick or thin they should bo sown in the garden or field. If the seeds start freely in the house, and fail when sown in the field, then the farmer can blame the soil, man ner of sowing, or tho weather, and not the seeds of tho seedsman who sold them. New York Sun. Pork In 8iiio of ClirinlMrv. Chemi'strv lins mislrvl mnrnr im.U j t' J" vj'.U .U regard to the feeding value of roots. We wintered eight old hogs the past winter on three bushels a day of sliced mangels, and they grew all the time. At the end of four months one of them w as taken out of the pen and slaughtered, and it was a fine porker. It was fat, and the flavor of the meat was most ex cellent. This hog had nothing else to eat for four months but its part of the three bushels a day of mangels. A bushel of mangels weighs sixty pounds, and three bushels would therefore weigh 180 pounds. According to the wisdom of chemistry, eighty-five per cent of the 1H0 pounds would be water, making 153 pounds of water and twenty-seven pounds of something else. Chemistry also informs us that mangels contain but about five per cent of sugar, which is the fattening property, therefore the eight old hogs grew fat on twenty-seven pounds a day of sugar, woody fiber, etc.; or, in other words, eight hogs lived all w inter and got fat on nine pounds a day of fat-forming material. This would give an average of ono pound and one eighth to each hog to live and grow fat upon. These hogs would average if dressed over 200 pounds, so that there were eight lives sustained during a very cold winter, with the power of locomotion, and over 1,000 pounds of the choicest kind of pork made ready for market, on nine pounds daily of saccharine matter. Great is sugar, but greater is chemistry. F. D. Curtis, Kirly Hmne&teiul, N. 1". TrmiNitlnntiiiK. In order to insure plants against wilting when transplanted, they may be grown, says the New England Farmer, in pots, but this involves a good deal of expense, and a simpler method is in use among the gardeners for moving such tender plauts as cucumbers, mel ons, summer squashes, Lima beans, etc. The plauts are pricked out under glass, iu groups i f four plants each, the hills being nine inches square, or thirty-two to a sash. When grown so as to require transplanting, which will be in about two weeks, or by the time they begin to run, have the ground ready for them, and wet them down well over night, so that the earth will cling to the roots. Have ready a few square rings of sheet zinc, nine inches square, made by fold ing a strip of zinc three inches wide ond three feet long into a nine-inch snuare prism, without top or bottom, and sol- ! dering the edges together. Take a ring ! utnl press it down into the earth around one of the hills; then run a spade under it and lift the hill, ring and all, on the spade and carry it to its destination, where a hole is made with a hoe to re ceive it; place the cluster of plants on the spade in the hole, draw the earth around the ring, and remove first the spade, tiieu the ring, and the work is complete. These tender plants cannot be transplanted safely to the open field much before June 10. But cucumbers are transplanted thus under glass whenever the glass is ready for them. In transplanting vines choose a hot day, and avoid rainy, cold weather. If well moistened before transplanting, and carefully handled, they will not wilt much, but may need a little shade for a few days. The transplanting of celery, cabbage and cauliflow er plauts is simple and eay enough in the cool, moist weather of early spring, but in the hot weather of midsummer requires some skill. Much depends in having the land in which tho plants are to ba set thoroughly fine; if coarse or lumpy it is much more likely to dry up and destroy the plants. Choose, if possible, a cloudy day after rain, but if this can't be done, and if the weather is dry and hot, the plants must be watered. Keep the roots wet while setting them, and water every day till they grow or till rain comes. This is laborious work where large fields are set, but is often the only way to be sure of a crop. To make the earth fine for setting plants it may bo thrown into drills with a plow and then raked down; or if it is desir able to set the plants low, as in the case of celery and cauliflowers, the rows are marked first with the wheel marker, and the spots where the plants are to be set made fine by chopping with a hoe. Sew York Herald. Why we I'sa Quick Lime Upon the Land. All cultivated plants contain lime in their ashes, and it is considered neces sary to their proper growth But as soils generally contain enough lime, and we apply it for its action upon the soil, lime acts upon and greatly aids the decomposition of organio matter in the soil. It is thought to neutralize the Orcanio acids contained in n-lint urn called " sour soils." In a complicated manner It aids in thfl fixinfrnf imninnin It also acts nnnn thn innrrmnin rv min eral constituents of the soil, and aids in converting them into forms in which they can be taken up by the plants, especially in liberating potash from its combinations. The effect of lime upon the mechanical condition of the soil is an important feature. Upon heavy clay soils ita effect is most marked; the particles lose their adhesiveness, and allow air and water to enter. These are the leading effects that follow the use of lime. In view of the claims made for ground, unburn ed limestone, it is an important question how far it can pro duce the above effects. That the un burned limestone will supply the demands of the plant for lime, that it may slowly neutralize organio acids, and help the mechanical texture of the soil, seems very probable. But that it will perionn one oi me most important offi ces, the decomposition of organio matter in the soil, and convert that into plant food, seems improbable, because the ability of lime to do this depends in a great measure upon its avidity for car. bon g" acid, while limestone, being already a carbonate, has no need of more. That limestone cannot produce all the effects of lime is shown by the well-known fact mat sons underlaid by limestone, and naturally containing a large proportion of finely divided carbonate of lime, are as much benefited by the use of quick lime as are soils deficient in limestone. The advertisements of ground limestone that we have seen make great use of the experiments of one person in Pennsyl vania, who states that his yield of wheat, treated with ground limestone, was more than doubled that to which slacked lime had been applied. He also claims to have found it a much cheaper fertilizer than lime and bone dust, and more profit able than guano and superphosphate These statements have been sent by several who ask our opinion. Our "opinion" is that we do not accept as final the results of any one experimenter, when they are in direct opposition to the accumulated evidence of thoso whose practice runs through many years. In nothing more easily than in agricultural experiments can an effect be ascribed to the wrong cause, and when we see tho fertilizing valuo of ground limestone placed above guano or super phosphate, we do not accept it.

Cellars thoroughly treated with white wash mado yellow with copperas will not be considered desirable habitations for rats and mice. When washing fine luces do not use starch at all ; in the last water in which they are rinsed put a littlo fine white sugar, dissolve it thoroughly, and the result will be pleasing. To brown sugar for sauce or puddings, put ie sugar in a perfectly dry sauce pan. If the pan is the least bit wet, the sugar will burn and you will spoil your saucepan. When putting away the silver tea or coffee pot which is not used every day, lay a little stick across the top under the cover. This will allow fresh air to get in, and will prevent mustiness. It will then be ready for use at any time, after having first been thoroughly rinsed with boiling w ater. Nothing is better to clean silver with than alcohol and ammonia; after rub bing with this take a little whitening or a soft cloth and polish in this way ; even frosted silver, which is so difficult to clean, may be easily made clear and bright.
