WHAT THE ATMOSPHERE
CONTAINS.
M. Gaston Tiaeandier. of elevated
ballooning notoriety, says a correspon
dent of the Kansas City Review, has
revealed many interesting facts on at
mospheric diwt, its connection with
cosmical matter, and the important
role it plays in fermentation and de-
Composition. As the air is purer after
behg washed by rain, so in dry weath
er. and especiallv in cities, the atmos
phere is a veritable dust bin. We are
sensible to th* existence of these par
ticles of attenuated matter ; in breath
ing them tbey disgust us, and in falling
and remaining on clothing and furni
ture they demonstrate not only their
presence but their plenitude. Admit
a sunbeam into a darkened room and
the molecules will be revealed like
oebulee ; yet the numbers we preceive
are perhaps but the minimum of what
exists, for after the naked eye and the
microscope there are minutiae which
dance still. Much of this atomic
debris is of inorganic origin, and a
great deal is derived from animal and
vegetable sources. The renowned ex
periments of M. Pasteur have demon
strated that among these atomies which
live, move, and have their being in
the air, are germs or spores of fermen
tation and decomposition, that is to
say, the seeds of disease and death.
Showers of dust impalpable as flour,
and sometimes red as blood, have
fallen in several parts of the world,
astonishing or frightening, as the pop
n'ations are anperstitious or cultivated.
These showers are simply silicioos par
ticles whipped up to the superior regions
of the atmosphere, and driven along by
aerial currents. Such particles have beeu
lifted in Guiana and showered on New
York, the Azores, and France, as
Ehrenberg detected therein animalcula
and shells peculiar to South America.
Over the summits of the high moun
tains of the latter county the atmos
pheric currents are ever charged with
silicious powder, and in parts of Mex
ico the crests of mountains act as
veritable bars, and compel the deposi
tion from these air streams of the dust,
and which accumulate in the valleys
to the depth of ninety yards. Geol
ogy recognizes these atmospheric delt
as.
The foam of waves as they dash
against the coast ispulverizedinto feath
ery pellicles, which float skyward with
a trace of saline matter and that a sea
breate carries far inland. Space con
tributes as well as earth and ocean to
the production of aerial dust. When
meteorites and lalling stars are ren
dered luminous and incandescent by
their rubbing against strata of air in
their vertiginous flight, tbey part with
quaqtities of their metallic elements in
the form of powder, iron, nickel, and
cobalt, substances that Nordenskjold
has gathered on the virgin snow of the
Polar regions. When atmospheric
dust, whether collected directly on a
sheet of paper, or from the sediment
of gnow and rain, is probed by a mag
net, the tiny particles of iron attracted
have all a spheroid family likeness,
resembling furthermore iron filings if
melted in a flame of hydrogen, or the
extinguished sparks that fall on strik
ing an ordinary flint and steel. Nay
more, similar atoms of meteoric iron
have been traced in the Lower Lias
formation, geology thus affording evi
dence, that as now, so before the ap
pearance of man on earth, atmospheric
dust existed.
The air is a vast storehouse of ani
malcules. Expose a solution of some
organic substance to the atmosphere
for twenty-four hours, it will be
speedily inhabited by myriads of infu
soria, rolling and tumbling, yet so
small that hundreds of them if placed
in a row woold not form a line in
length. These worms resemble little
eels. Analogous animalcules induce
decomposition and fermentation, for
the latter cannot take place unless the
organic matters be in contact with the
air,'to receive the seed of the leaven,
which by cellule propagation leavens
the whole mass.
It has lately been shown that the
process of nitrification in certain soils
is due to a peculiar ferment, that is to
say, to a spore floating in the atmos
phere, and finding its conditions for
- action stops and operates.
Marsh fever is due to cellules or
spores existing in a bog neighborhood.
The same spores have beeu detected
by the microscope in the expectora
tions of the patient, in the dew that
was examined, and on the surface of
the peaty soil where they were gener
ated. This is simply poisoning. To
a like cause is due the fell disease
known as hospital gangrene; the
germs in the polluted ward atmos
phere enfer the wounds, induce putre
faction and death. Hence the import
ance of washing the affected part with
carbolic acid or other antiseptic; then
dressing it with a wadding that will
intercept, by acting as a filter, the
germs to be deposited, from being
sown.
In many factories workmen become
victims to the dust, generated by their
special industry, entering and saturat
ing the lungs. On dissecting old col
liers, their lungs after forty years'
respiration of dust, instead of being
rose colored as in health, were as black
as the coal itself. The dust in this
impalpable form is often the cause of
accidents; it can take fire and blaze
like alcohol. Witness the catastrophe
at the Minneapolis flouring mills; the
confined air highly charged with the
flour became on a par with ether or
alcohol, awaiting only ignition from
the heated millstone to burst into
flame and explode.
CALiroBMiA ViMETAaDs—The av
erage of vines in California is officially
rated at about 60,000 acres, and it is
thought that from six tonight thous
and acres or more will be planted to
vines this year. If the entire grape
crop were made into wine the yield in
ordinary years would exceed 25,000,-
000 gallons. The actual wine product
during the past five years has ranged
between 4,000,000 and 6,000,000 gal
lons, the smallest yield falling in 1878.
The possible yield in wine is lessened
by the large distillation into brandies
(about 250,000 gallons a year) the
production of sweet wines, the con
sumption of grapes for table use and
export to the Eastern States, and
finally by the manufacture of raisins.
The wine yield this coming year is ex
pected to be very large, perhaps 10,-
000,000 gallons.
The friends of a murdered man in
Texas played a very sharp ruse to
avenge his death a few days ago. They
simply gave out that the murderer was
a horse thief, whereupon a crowd col
lected and banged him upon the lint!
limb. 1
A HORSE WITH A HISTORY.
Tbere died in Lancaster county a
few dav? ago, a horse with a remarka
ble history. Ue came from California,
and was ridden for two years by a
trooper of the Second U. S. Cavalry,
in fighting Indians. He was after
wards purchased by Major R. Rein
hold, of the 17th Pa. Cavalry, and en
■ tered service with that regiment in
1863. He passed through Sheridan's
raid to Richmond, the Trevelvan ra:d
and the march from City Point to th
Shenandoah Valley. He was in the
battles of the wilderness, Yellow
Tavern, Meadow Bridge, Hanover
town, Harves shop, Bethesda Church,
Cold Harbor, Trevelyan Station,
White House and others. Major R.
resigning the following summer the
animal became the property of Cap
tain M. Reinhold, who rode him until
the early part of September, when the
Captain was killed in the saddle. Af
ter the death of Captain M. Reinhold
his brotLer, Cuptain U. Reinhold took
the horse and rode him nntil the regi
ment was mustered out, June 16, 1865.
He went through Winchester and the
Valley campaign and raids ; the march
from the Shenandoah Valley to the
Potomac before Petersburg, in Febru
ary and March j the battles of Din
widdle, Five Forks; the pursuit of
Lee, Saylor's creek and the surrender
of Lee at Appomattox, April 9, 1865 ;
the march to Washington, the grand re
view, etc. When the regiment was
mustered out a number of officers were
put in the Second Penntylvania Cav
alry. The horse then became the
property of Lieutenant Luckner, who
rode him until the regiment was mus
tered out at Harrisburg, in August,
1865. He was then bought by Lieu
tenant E. E. Wood, who brought him
home, where be has remained ever
since. The surviving members of
Company M. in this county, doubtless
still retain a vivid recollection of the
noble horse.— Honesdale Citizen, Pa.
CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS.
The claims of Dr. Unger for a rem
edy for curing intemperance would
seem to be justified, if we may rely
upon good authority as the Chicago
Tribune for the evidence. Mr. Joseph
Medill, the editor, is said to be a
strong endorser of the new remedy,
, and from the editorial commendations
of it in the columns of the Tribune we
conclude the remedy has produced
some benefit to the community already.
It is claimed that the doctor has
cured 28,000 persons of the worst form
of intemperance with it, and that this
is the first remedy ever discovered
that kills the disease and the inclina
tion to drink at one and the same
time.
Remedy —Take one pound of best,
fresh, quill red Peruvian bark, powder
it, and soak it in one pint of diluted al
cohol. Afterward strain and evaporate
it down to half a pint. Directions for
its use: Dose—a teaspoonful every
three hours the first and second day,
and occasionally moisten the tongue
between the doses. It acts like qui
nine, and the patient can tell by a
headache if he is getting too much*
The third day take as previous, but
reduce the dose to one-half teaspoon
ful. Afterward reduce the dose to
fifteen drops, and then down to ten,
and then down to five drops. To make
a cure, it takes from five to fifteen
days, and in extreme cases thirty days.
Seven days are about the average in
which a cure can be effected.
DO SHARKS HARBOR THEIR
YOUN 01
An interesting specimen of porbeagb
shark ( Lamna punctata) was caught
recently off Great Neck, L. I. It was a
female and was sent to Mr. E. G.
Blackford, of New York, who says:
"When I received her she had not
been dead more than seven hours.
From the immense size of her stomach
I thought she must have swallowed a
barrel or two of moss bunkers, and to
gratify my curiosity I opened her. Im
agine my suprise when instead of moss
bunkers I found ten little sharks, evi
dently her offspring, and all just the
same size—exactly two feet long. I
should say they were about six months
old, for a young Bhark when batched
from the egg measures about four
inches. It has been a disputed ques
tion among fishermen for some time
whether young sharks in time of dan
ger do not seek safety in their moth
er's stomach, I think this case proves
that they do, for the little ones were
perfectly sound : there was no mark on
them as if digestion bad begun, and I
have not a doubt but that if the moth
er bad not been captured, as soon as
the excitement was over the little ones
would have worked their way out into
salt water again, and in due time l>een
big enough to give some uufortunate
fisherman considerable trouble." The
specimen measured six feet eleven
inches in length, and was captured in
a school of moss bunkers or menha
den.
That a woman can be found guilty
of the crime of rape upon another
female looks like an extraordinary pro
position; but it has been held in
North Carolina, where, by the way,
not a few singular thiugs occur. A
decision to that effect has just been
rendered by the Supreme Court of that
State in the case of the State vs. John
Jackson and Love Ann Jones, from
New Hanover. The text of tho opin
ion is as follows: "In this indictment
John Jackson is charged with an as
sault with intent to com'mitt a rape on
Sarah Jane Waddle, and the defendant
Love Ann Jones, is charged with be
ing present, aiding, abetting, etc. The
male defendant was not on trial, and
the femele defendant was found guilty
as charged; whereupon there was a
motion to arrest the judgment, and an
appeal. At common law rape was a
felony, and one aiding, etc., was a
principal; so, had this been rape, in
stead of an assault with intent to com
mit rape, Love Ann Jones would have
been guilty as a principal, although
fncapable of committing the offence.
But the offence charged is, under our
statute, a mere misdemeanor, and Love
Ann Jones, if guilty, as a principal.
The bill warrants the judgment. "No
error." Since the punishment for rape
in North Carolina is death, the strange
spectacle would have been presented,
had the male defendant succeeded in his
attempt, of the execution of a woman
for a crime which she was physically
incapable of committing.

SUPERIOR MILLING!
WALTER & BOOS,
Proprietors of the Weil-Known Splendid
FOLURING MILL
BUTLER, :P.A.
We wish to inform the public that we have remodeled our Mill with the
latest improved
Gradual Reduction System Machinery,
which is well known bv Millers to be the best in existence. We can say to
Farmers and Producers of wheat that it will be pro Stable to them
to give us a trial. We claim that we can make a
BETTER ARTICLE OF FLOUR, AND MORE OF IT,
out of the same number of bushels of wheat than any other Mill in the
county, and equal to any first-class Mill in the city, or Western Mills.
The new Under-runuing Mill, used for Regrinding, bought of Munsou & Bro.,
Utica, N. Y.; the George T. Smith Middlings Purifier, bought
at Jackson, Mich., together with Bulling Cloths,
Reals, Conveyers, Ac., suitable for
the Machinery, cannot be
Excelled in the United States
or elsewhere. This may seem an exaggeration to some, but we wish the pub.
lie to knowthat we are able to perform all that we publish, as we have given
our machinery a thorough test in the presence of several good Millers and
Millwrights, and it has proven even better than it was guaranteed to do.
We are also remodeling our Mill for
Grinding Other Kinds oi Grain,
which will be entirely satisfactory to our customers. Farmers wishing to
have their grist home with them the same day, can do so on
short notice. They will thereby save another trip.
WE HAVE ALWAYS ON HAND THE BEST GRADES OF
WHEAT FLOUR. GRAHAM FLOUR. RYE FLOUR.
Buckwheat Flour, Bolted and Unbolted Corn Meal, different kinds of Chop,
Bran and Mill Feed, all of the best quality and at the

A NEW DEPARTURE!
BEST PLOW IN THE WORLD t
THC BYRACUBC CHILLED PLOW CO.
of Syracuse, N. V.
Are now putting on the market a Plow that
Is as much superior to any Plow heretofore
made as the PIOWB of the past few years have
been superior to those made , half a century
ago.
It combines all the excellencies of any Plow
In use.
It obviates ail the objections made to any
other Plow.
In addition it embraces several new features
of the greatest value, for which we have ob
tained exclusive Patents.
Its Beam, Clevis, Jointer Standard and Wheel
Standard will be STEEL, and Its mold board
win be a composition of Steel and Iron chilled
under a process for which we have also
obtained an exclusive Patent. It will be
THE BYRACUBE
CHILLED STEEL PLOW
Its weight will be eighteen pounds less than
our present styles.
. A flrst-claas Steel Plow, made in the or
dinary way, fun rigged, retails for twenty-two
dollars. Inferior Steel Plows retail from six
teen to nineteen dollars.
The price of our new Plow win be but
B«TcntMD Dollars, and It win be the
cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold.
Its mold board win outwear three of the
very best kinds of the ordinary steel mold
boards.
It will scour In soils where all steel plows
and all other plows have hitherto proved a
failure.
With this Plow will be Introduced a corru
gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on which
we have also obtained a Patent, and which 18
also a great improvement, both as regards
Strength and wear.
The Jointer can be shifted so as to take
more or less land, and also more or lets pitch,
and It can always be kept on a line with the
Plow.
The wheel wUI run tinder the beam or one
side of it as desired, and always kept In Hue.
The beam Is adjustable for Spring or Pall
Flowing, and also for two or three horses.
The handles can be adjusted to accommo
date a man or boy, on the same Plow.
It is a perfect Plow.
Wooden beams are going out of use because
they shrink, swell and warp, and never ran
two seasons alike.
Iron beams are too heavy.
Malleable beams become -demoralized and
bend, which 18 much worse than to break.
A Steel beam la the neceeslty of the day. It
h three times as strong and very much lighter
than any other styla
When uw say a Mold board Is chilled, the
farmers know It Is sa
We do not palm ofT on them a composition
Of various metals and call It chilled metal.
We want agents for this new Plow in every
town in this State.
We can give but a very smaU discount to
them, but we wUI pay the Railroad Freight
We propose to place this Plow In the hands
of Farmers as near the cost of manufacture
as possible.
It will be the but Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
It shall-also be the ehtaptM.
Persons therefore who are not willing to act
as agents on the principle that « a nimble six
pence is better tban a slow shining," need not
apply for an agency.
No Plows on commission. All sales absolute
or* This Is the only steel Chilled Plow in
the World.
Steel costs several times more than Iron.
But this Plow, fun rigged, by giving small .
discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars.
Compare this price with that of any Iron Ptow
ever made.
It Is cheaper than any other Plow nonr
Bade would be at five dollars and a halt
Where there are no agents we will, on re.
eelptof Seventeen Dollars, send a Plow to any
Railroad station in the State and pay the
freight Address,
