easily redii-cd by the lingers to atoms

line of fractures in the fragments pre
sented to the eve the apiiearance ot ir-

moreover apparent to the touch, but
more palpaiily so on one side of the
glass than the other. Which of the two
sides was the one that received the first
impact of the blow, w e were not able to
determine. Another iieculiarity is that
the edges of the fractures are by no
means so sharp, and therefore capable
of causing incised w omuls, as are those
of ordinary glass. It would seem that
the toughened glass ossesses enormous

one taunt, tbe disturbance or ilisinteirra-

The Heart.
From a recent review of l"r.
Hmitou
muscular
experiments regarding the
force exerted by the human heart we
condense as follows: "The heart is
composed of innumerable muscular
fibres arranged like two balls of twine.
each with a cavity in its center, -and
both completely enveloped in a third
hall. These fibres are, however not con
tinuous as in the case of twine wound
on a ball, hut work indeiendently. By
calculating tbe force exerted by these
fibres when either contracted or ex
tended, and expressing the result in
"foot tons" that is, the force required
to lift a ton to the height of one foot it
appears that the daily work of the left
ventricle alone, which lifts at each
stroke three ounces of blood through a
height of 9,923 feet, is equal to about 89,
(Hi foot-tons. .Kstiniatmg tbe relative
power of the right ventricle to that of
the left, in the proportion of five to
thirteen, the total daily work of lioth Is
equal to 124,203 foot-tons. Although
the average weight or the heart is a'tout
9-36 ounces, the work done by it in a
given time exceeds that accomplished
by all other muscles exercised in a boat
race dur'ng the same period, llelm
holu. the German physicist, proved that
the heart could raise iu own weight 20,
2S0 feet in an hour, while the best loco
motive engine could only raise its own
weight 2.700 leet in tne same time. An
active cliniber, with the full exercise of
all the needed muscles could only ac-
complish 9.000 feet in nine hours, or
one-twentieth the work done by tbe
heart.

Calm for tit Dairy' la '-breeding
cattle for tbe dairy a different srtem
should be followed than when tbe stock
in dais-aet far the shaanbtea. It is a
areax mistake to let calves, intended
for cows, suck their mothers, or to feed
them to such an extent that they are
made good veals calves thus bred do
not make jrood cow tor the- reason
that there is an undue development of
fat and muscle, and a consequent want
of development of lacteal qualities.
Anv milkina? breed of cattle bred in
this way will deteriorate, Tbe proof
of this statement, in tbe history of the
Shorthorns, which breed having been
bred on the stuffing principle, contains
hundreds of cows which do not give
milk enough to raise their - own off
spring. Calves which sock are very
likely to have thick, heavy necks,
faeavT shoulders, coarse bone and
mnaclea.
The most successful dairy breeder,
with whom 1 am acquainted never
allows his calves to sack at alL M
nractice is to let them sack until a weel
old. I think this is an advantage to
the cow, reducing the inflammation in
the bag, and also preventing nervous
excitement on the part of the mother
at a time when such excitement might
be very injurious. After the calf is a
week old it may be removed from the
mother's sight without any injury to
the dam, and meanwhile its digestive
organs have been exercised naturally
and the young animal is better fitted
to be fed. It is, however, a fact that a
young calf will grow faster and look
nicer when sucking a very small
amount of milk than when fed three
times the quantity out of a pail. Tbe
reason of this is because, when sucking
the saliva, is abundantly secreted and
mixed with the milk, which promotes
digestion and assimilation, whereas,
when tbe milk is drank, there is no
secretion of saliva. It will not pay.
however for the dairyman to raise
calves in this way, unless the milk of a
cow could be divided among several
calves, each one sucking its portion in
its turn.
To have a cow as profitable as possi
ble in the flow of her milk, she should
tie kent entirely senarate from her calf.
Calves can be raised on skim-milk, and
will do welL If the milk is scarce it
can be mixed with a tea made by boil
ing bright clean hay. A calf can be
raised on four quarts of milk two at
night and two in the morning with the
addition of hay tea. When three weeks
old they will begin to eat a little hay
or erass. and when four weeks old a
little oat or linseed meal. If kept grow
ing all tbe year round, calve raised on
such scanty rations will make good
animals. Many a fine Jersey from supe
rior stock has been spoiled in the rear
ing, and instead of making a good cow
with a fine udder and milking devel
opments, has made a meaty, coarse,
useless temaie steer. - .
Calves should be halter-broke when
young, and made so tame that they
can lie approached anywhere. Ani
mals thus handled are never so liable
to accident as when allowed to grow np
wild and ungovernable ; and besides,
they are so much better to manage that
this fact alone win compensate lor an
the trouble in breaking them. Often
more time is spent in trying to force an
unbroken cow or bull into a ear or
stable than to halter-brake a dozen
calves. Calves should never be
handled about tbe head, unless to pat
tbe halter on them, or touched on tbe
boms, or have their eats pulled, as
such kind of Dotting is almost certain
to make them uitlv and. then they
grow up, dangerous. No animal is
more grateful tor a little extra feed m
tbe inter, than the calf, and none
will show its effects more. The farmer
who raises a few roots for bis calves
and forgets not a little meal will sorely
enjoy a lively frolic and run when in
the Spring times be opens the gate and
leads his pets into the green tielus.

rant tbe opinion that cream is not cast
up in greater quantity when not placed
in very shallow vessels. 1 he cream
was carefully taken off the two latter
vessels, and the skimmed niilk put into
a lactometer; tbat from tbe widest
vessel gave two degrees of cream, and
that from tbe second in width about a

Syriam, ' Sponget.TM latest project
before the Acclimatiiation Society of
Fans is the eu) U ration ot the celebrated
Syrian sponge in tbe waters of Southern
France, a valuable and most useful
product, wnich, like many another gift
of tne sea, is in danger ot extermination
through excessive fishing.
Tbe sponge-producing grounds of
Syria occur along the coast, from Mount
arm el in tne aoutn to Aiexanaretta in
the north, the centers of production
being Tripoli, Huad, Lattakia. and
Kartroun, on tbe coast of Mount
Lebanon. The beat Qualities are found
in the neighbor hood of Tripoli and
Bartroun. According to a late report
of tbe British vice consul at Beyrout, as
many as three hundred boats are en
gaged in tbe fishery ; tbe annual yield,
though falling off through tbe exhaus
tion of tbe grounds, still amounts to
f 100,000 to $135,000.. The majority of
the boats used are ordinary fishing
boats, from eighteen to thirty feet in
length, three parts decked over, and
carrying one mast with an ordinary lug
sad. They are manned by a crew of
four or five men, one to haul and the
rest to serve as divers.
In former Tears the coast was much
freouented by Greek divers from tbe
islands of tbe Archipelago ; the number
is now restricted to five or six boats a
rear, the skill of tbe Syrian combined
with bis better knowledge of the fishing
grounds, enabling him to compete suc
cessfully with his foreign rival.
Diving is practiced from a very early
age up to forty years, after which few
are able to continue tbe pursuit profit
ably. Tbe depth to which the diver
descends varies from five to thirty
"brasses," or from twenty-five to one
hundred and seventy-live feet. Tbe
time he is able to spend nnder water
depends on natural capacity, age, and
training; sixty seconds time is reckoned
good work in rare instances eighty
seconds are spent nnder water. Tbe
Syrian diver uses a heavy stone to
carry hi in quickly to the bottom, and is
drawn no bv a comrade. On the bot
tom, he holds the guide rope with one
hand and tears off tbe sponges with the
other, placing them in a net which be
carries. No knife, spear, or instrument
of any kind is used in detaching tbe
sponges; nor does he, like bis ureeK
competitor, ever use the diving dress,
having an antiuatbv to it on the score
of its reputed tendency to produce
paralysis of tbe limbs. Two or three
fatal accidents occur annually, mainly
among the skillful and danng, who
sometimes drop the rope to secure a
tempting prize, and missing it on their
return, attempt to rise to tbe surface
unaided, and are drowned. At other
times tbe diver will be wounded by
iagged rocks, or his rone will become
entangled, exposing him to great risks
where tbe depth is great.
Though varying much In duality and
size, tbe sponges are roughly divided
into three classes: (1) The fine white
bell-sbaped sponge, known as toilet
sponge; (2 the large reddish variety
called bath sponge: (3) tbe coarse red
sponge used for household purposes,
carriage cleaning, etc. Two thirds of
tbe produce of tbe Syrian coast are
purchased by native merchants for ex
portation, while tbe remaining third is
purchased on - tbe spot - by French
agents. France takes the bulk of the
finest qualities. One tenth the price
received by the tinders goes to the gov
ernment for revenue.
It is possible tbat this high-priced
and durable variety of sponge might
be cultivated in our southern waters, as
a substitute for the beautiful but tender
sponge they now yield. The experi
ment would be worth trying.
A Sex Kind of Glum. Tbe Taris
correspondent of the London Daily
.Vers writes: "The Bastie glass ex
hibited at tbe last meeting of tiie So
ciety for tbe Lnconragement of Manu
factures is a noteworthy invention.
'Brittle as glass.' is a familiar simile.
The substance 1 speak: of is tough, as
well as hard, and resists the action of
the tire. It can be applied to water
conduits and a number ot culinary
utensils instead of enamel, or the
leaded tin, so much used in the bard
ware trade in 1'aris. The experiments
made the other night were highly sat
isfactory. Thin plates of tiiis glass
were thrown on a tiled floor from a
height of three metres, u e., a little
more than nine feet, without injury.
They were then flung with violence
about the room and against tbe walls,
and held over gas jets. A weight of 100
grammes was also dropped on them
from tbe height of three metres. Tbe
resisting temper of tbe Bastie glass is
obtained by means of a chemical bath,
to which it is subjected when hot from

elusions recently reached bv tbe above
means show that most of the causes
which produce passivity in iron mav be
reduced to a voltaic force carrying the
oxygen to tbe iron and polarizing it on
tbe surface of the metal. Most of tbe
causes which destroy the passivity of
iron may be reduced either to a voltaic
force of the contrary direction, or to a
current, due to the polarization of tbe
oxygen and by which it exhausted : or,
lastly, to an absorption of tbe polarized
gas by a body that has avidity for
oxygen.

believed to be more general than is
now supposed. The acid employed in

Calling Thing Ay (Aetr Eight Same.
It may be wise and prudent in general
society to express in circumlocution
what might be offensive if stated in
direct terms. However that may be,
it is well in teaching children and
young people to call things by their
right names, to strip vice of its gauds
and show it up in all its naked de
formity, to exalt virtue though it be
clothed in rags, hidden in obscurity, or
weighed down with disaster. For want
of this direct and positive teaching
many children grow to maturity with
out definite ideas of right and wrong,
of virtue and vice, of truth aud false
hood, of honesty and dishonesty, of
nobility and shame.
Asa book of morality, leaving en
tirely out of the question its origin, Uie
Bible i beyond price. The ten com
mandments and their sum, as given by
Christ, if translated into universal ac
tion, would close all our prisons, clothe
all oar paupers, leave swords to rust
and cannon to mouldertnd would make
tbe earth a paradise. Who can gain
say this! In this wonderful book,
murder, theft, drunkenness, lying,
covetousness, are called by their right
names. David killed Uriah as certainly
as though he had with his own hand
plunged a dagger to the heart of the
innocent man, and not his wonderful
talents or his high position shielded
him from the just punishment of bis
donble crime.
Tbe growing youth should be taught
tbat stealing is stealing, whether done
by a corporation or a monopoly or a
man. i inancial success attained by
pandering to the passions or the vices
of humanity should lie duly character
ized. Fortunes built up by dishonest
and unjust means should be placed in
contrast with those acquired by legiti
mate and honest industry, and the
moral that "honesty is the best policy"
duly enforced. In tbat capital book,
"F. Grant and Co..'' which every hoy
should read, this subject is treated in a
very felicitous manner, and the mode
in which fathers may instil right views
of action happily pointed out. For
want of this practical and concrete
teaching in boyhood it is, that we have
so many men who measure success
purely by a money standard, and leave
entirely out of tne calculation honor,
justice, mercy, and the love of Uod.

for the purpose of decorating living

Being very strong, they will live
