The British Government has yielded to
popular elnnior so far as to axsent. ro a
new and thorough investigation of tho
merits of vaccination. While assenting
to this, it allows it to be given out that,
"it sees no necessity, in any new facts that
liuve been discovered, for such an in
vestigation. While the electric light is gradually
taking the place of illuminating gas in
Germany, the latter article is to be ex
tensively Used on account of its con
sidrable evolution of heat. In com
parison with the electric light, it is this
property ihich is, apart from minor
brightness, considered to be in principal
deficiency.
Mr. A. II. Griffiths states that the pro
cess of converting iron into Bessemer
etecl results in tho elimination of a basic
slag, containing from fourteen to twenty
per cent, of phosphoric acid. Beduced
to an impalpable powder, this slag is a
valuable plant food; and as manure the
,'150.000 tons of the slag obtained yearly
in Knglnntl should produce, at least 4,
(100,000 tons of hay, or sulticient for feed
ing 750,000 head of cattle.
The drainage area of the Vang-tse-Kiang
River in China is equal to one-sixth
of the area of our country, including
Alaska. It is estimated that the enor
mous amount, of sediment poured down
by this river amounts to the denudation!
of the entire basin by one foot in 3000
years. No wonder that with this mass)
of five billiou cubic feet of solid matter
emptied into tho ocean every year the(
people of Shanghai arc able to see that'
the coast line is rapidly advancing.
Admiral Akamatau, of the Japanese
Navy, has invented a new floating fort for
coast defense. This fort is to be built oul
a kind of vessel made of steel, and ISO'
feet in length. The armor is to hci
twelve inches thick, and the bridge will!
be specially protected with a steel bul
wark of three inches. It is to have n
double screw and engines of 200 horse
power, capable of attaining a speed of
three miles an hour. On the first hridgi
will Iv? placed twelve fifteen-eei.tinietre
cannon, and on the second eight twenty-
six-centimetre. the crew will numbel

Formerly engineers estimated tin
strength of ropes by the old rule: ''Foul
times the square of the girth in inche!
gives the breaking weight in hundred
weights." Commenting on this rule nn
engineer says: "Apparently ropes ard
three times as strong now; and to get
near tho tabulated strength take tho
iquare of the girth in eighths of an inch
and divide by 1000, or point off the last
three figures as decimals. The answer
will be the safe working load in tons.
This is an error of about ten per cent, on
the safe bide. The breaking strain is
from five to seven times greater than
this." ;
Inquiries sent to thirty-five English,
coast towns which had been using sen
water for watering streets showed that(
twenty-three towns had abandoned its
use for various reasons. Ramsgate and
Folkestone stated that it destroyed all
kinds of road material except wood,
borne towns advised its use in sewer
flushing in sufficient volume, but others
thought it produced gases when brought
into contact with the sewage. The testi
mony is in favor of sea water preventing
dust on roads of flint or gravel; and
Berwick-on-Tweed highly commends it
for this purpose. It is there found that
one cart of sea water is equal to
two
loads of fresh water in lasting effect.
The World's Coal Supplies.
The Deutche Huudels Museum has re
cently issued some interesting figures re
lating to the world's coal fields outside of
the North American continent. Ac
cording to these, Holland, Belgium,
Switzerland, Denmark, Germany and Bo
hemia possess coal mines of a surface area
of about 59,000 square miles. Russia
alone has 2!3,000 square miles. The de
posits of the island of Formosa amount
to something like 10,000 square miles,
some of tho coal veins ranging up to
ninety-six feet in thickness. The coal
fields of Austria, Spain, Portugal, Italy,
Greece, Turkey and Persia cover about
39,000 square miles; those of India,
35,000: and those of Japan 6000 square
miles; while those of China are esti
mated at the enormous figure of 400,000
square miles. Moreover, tho Falkland
Islands, Patagonia and Peru are very rich
in coal, while the southern part of Chili
is one immense deposit.
In Brazil veins varying in thickness
from seventeen to twenty-live feet are
found in abundance, and in the United
States of Colombia there is an abun
dance of the iniueral. Mexico and the
Vancouver Islands are also well supplied,
there being probably notffarfrom 20,000
square miles; while the deposits thus far
discovered in Tasmania. New Caledonia
and Natal are estimated to cover lot), 000
square miles, the larger number of these
deposits not yet having been worked.
Without reckoning the immense stores of
coal in the United States, and merely re-
lying upou those given above, there seems
to be but little prospect of a coal famine
during the present century.
Where Might was Right.
Early in the spring a pair of wood
peckers built a nest in the hollow of an
old elm tree at Forrest Hill, N. J., and
were deep in the cares of housekeeping
when acoupleof birds of the same species
arrived, and disputed their right of pos
session. For several days the battle
raged fiercely around the mouth of the
hole, and then tho first tenants were
driven away. They went with loud and
bitter lamentations and while the victori
ous birds were constructing their nest
they mournfully watched the process from
an adjacent tree, but made no attempt tn
retrieve their fallen fortunes. At last
they flew away.
Recently the tree was cut down and
split open. The hole was deep, and two
feet, from its mouth was the uet last
built completely blocking it up. It held

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
MOl.lt CATCHING.
The presence of moles, says the Mart
Lane express, is generally regarded as in
dicative of good soil; jet the farmer's
first object on acquiring such soil is to
get rid of them. They arc destructivo
to drains, and deadly enemies to thC'Com
mon earthworm, which Darwin ha np
praised at high value as a medium of fer
tilization in the soil. Indeed, their food
consists mainly of tho common earth
worm, though other insects such as mag
gots, which fall into their faiuncl are
readilv devoured. These latter no person
will grudge them, but they work irrepar
able havoc to crops. They usunlly in
habit strong, good land. It is contended
by some people that they assist in tho
work of aeration, so necessary for tin
successful management of land. Doubt
less thry open tip the soil, but, unlcs
when digging well down in pursnit of
jfrub and then they interfere with the
drains diverting the water thtry should
by all means be kept down, and if possi
ble, stamped out.
This subject has been suggf sted to "S
bva qucrryfrom a correspondents "How
can I best get rid of the mole?-' Tbore
are various systems of mole catchruft'.
Traps of various kinds arc used. TliO
wire tray has been in vogue for well nigh
thirty years, and is an effectual method
if care is taken to use it in a proper part
of a fresh tunnel. In some instances tho
wire trap, however, has been thrown asido J
superseded by the uso of poisoned
worms. This system is held by its advo
cates to be equally as sure as trapping,
while it is lighter work. Either of thcau
methods in the hands of a skillful mole
catcher will effect a complete eradication
of the little foe, but the mole-pest is not
now so prevalent throughout tla
country as it has been earlier in the ccn--tury.
STARTING) A rOCLTRY YARD.
This is a good time of the year for be
ginners in the business to commence keep
ing poultry. A correspondent of the
Orange Juthl Farmer has written tho fol
lowing hints for beginners. Ho says:
Let me here indicate in brief, from my
own experience and observation, what
vou ought to do for success with poul
try. Never set your hens with the laying
fowls. I have done this and suffered loss
by it. Sitting hens should be kept quiet ;
no one should go near them but tho at
tendant. One cock is sufficient for the same flock,
of hens. I usually give one to ten hens.
Keep an egg record. Jo accurate in
this. Keep an account of profit and loss;
this will help you in many ways.
Have a warm, dry house facing south.
Be particular about this in our climate.
Always isolate a sick fowl. A mistake
here often destroys the whole flock.
Do not overfeed your birds. Feed just
what they will use up without waste. Fat
hens are poor layers. Too high feeding
renders the digestive organs weak and in.
duces disease more than anything else.
Do not chaugc blood too frequently.
It will run your hens out to do so every
year. You can improve your stock in
this way : Each season pick out say five
of your best pullets and one cockerel and
breed from these. Next year take tho
same plan. After doing this three years
you can change the blood by buying a
pure breed cock from some reliable
breeder. Never mind if you pay a good
price, as the dearest is the cheapest in tho
end. This is my experience.
See that your hens have a good run, so
that they can take enough exercise. Idle
ness leads to mischief in the case of hens,
as in the case of a higher class of bipeds.
Never breed from hens over three
years old, as the stock in such cases is
usually weak. Make up your breeding
pens early in the season.
My experience with Leghorns has
taught me that chickens hatched in April
or May do the best, as they grow rapidly.
You don't want "Asiatics" so early, as
they feather slowly. May, and even
June, will do for them in this climate.
You, as a beginner, may now be in
clined to say: "This is too much work."
Let me, from an experience of twelve
years, state the simple fact: That suc
cess in poultry -raising depends largely on
these seemingly trifling details. Every
little detail tells in the result desired.
TJXDCE IJASTE IN FATTENING.
Make haste slowly is a good rule to
apply generally. Animals that have been
summered on grass will not bear, profit
ably, to be pushed on grain feed during
the fall, as , haste in this direction dis
turbs digestion. Under tho action of;
tho laws of nature things arc, many times,
mado to afford rest to follow an unduq
exertion of a given part, or of the whole
body. Under this law, the appetite is
taken away when over-feeding has been
practised, that compensation, through
rest of the digestive organs, may occur,
Disgust of food always follows over
feeding; yet it is theorizing falsely to say
that if the beast gets too much food, it
will reduce the amount taken, volun
tarily, when surfeited, because deranged
digestion follows at once upon excessive
feeding, and then what follows f Notn
iug less than an interruption of nutrition,
the bodv shrinking. This shrinkage can
only come from disordered action a dis
ease in itself. This must be recovered
from before nutrition can be resumed,
i and during this time we suffer a double
loss, namely through the shrinkage, in
the first place, and through delay from
deranged digestion, in the second place.
There is still another reason why dam
aire may follow indiscreet feeding. Fer
mentation from indigestion may, to i
greater exeut than we are aware of, dam
age the meat of the fattening beast. This
damage may happen to its keeping quail
lies as well as to its flavor. Nothing can
be more reasonable than that it should
hnppcn to both. It is a popular and
doubtless a well founded belief that the
flavor of the growing animal's flesh is
modified by the food that goes in at the
mouth. Vie know this to follow the
feeding of oil cake to the fattening steer,
Certain articles of fo id, notably milk and
i butter, are tainted by near approach to
certain vegetables, as well as by being iq
l.roximitv to deeaviuir or noxious sub
stances of any kind.
The absence of teU in this direction
may rightfully be termed an oversight, foi
the perfection of meats bus not yet been
fully accomplished is in fact one of the
things least discriminated upou, and re
ceives less attention than is given to any
other kind of food in use. Therefore
deduce from the hints given, that tin
fall feeding should be commenced with
care and moderation; tho limit ahvay
being inside of the possibilities of ths
digestive powers of the fattening beasts.
Dainty rations at first, carefully added to
as the powers of digestion are developed

my chest and lungs and did
not give It proper attention ;
It developed Into bronehlMs,

ieonsumptlon. Physicians or
dered me to a more congeni

Francisco. Soon after my
arrival I commenced taking
