Taat was pretty conclusive evidence that

and was one of the two men.
“I immediately commenced an investi

TIIE BANANA TBADE.
A Talk Win, the Man Who Brought the
First Cargo to I his Country. •
The steamship Peverll, Capt. Cameron,
which arrived trom Pori Antonio, Jamai
ca, Monday, with bananas and oranges
lor Messrs. Henry Bros. & C-0., says tbe
Baltimore Sun, made tbe fastest time of
any fruit steamer running to this port.
Capt. George Both, ihe supercargo of
the IVveril, is not only a veteran sailor,
but also the fath-Tof the banana biisme-s
in the United States. Capt. Bush emi
grated from Germany to this cmnt'.ry
when he was quite a young man. He ws
naturalized in t*ie Circuit Court of this
city in 1*55. He has been a shipma-ter
since I*6o. and is one of tne best-snown
saiiorsin the portaof tae West Indies. In
an interestin talk about the banana busi
ness with a reporter Capt. Bush said:
“1 brought the fir-t schooner load of
bananas ever seen iu the United States. I
-old them to Gilniartin, in New York, in
IHSB. Pc pie did not know what they were
and my little cargo ot 1,100 bunches over
stocked the market. 1 s* cured them in
Baracoa, Cuba. Three v ars alter that car
go was landed at New York tae trade bad
developed so fast that it required twenty
five or tnirty seh<> n,er loau* alone to sup
ply New Y'ork. Tnree large firms in New
York monopoliz'd tne trade from Bar
acoa. They w, re Eneas Bros., Douglass
Bros, and Pearsall Bros. In 1*67 the trade
had grown so enormously that I began to
lo tk around lor ottier places to get ba
nanas. I bad been to ports in Jamaica aft r
oranges in prevt us years, but never for
bananas. In May, 1567, 1 sailed for Oro
Cabt z i, Jamaica, in se.,rcb of bananas.
Arriving there I tound Capt. Jim Mur
dock, a quadroon native and a Christian,
the last quality being rare on the island.
1 told him wbat I wanted, and he prom
ised to buy th-m for me. Bananas had
no value among the natives. Toev never
ate them. Tney were planted simply as
a protection to tbe coffee trees. The latter
need protection Irom the sun, and the
banana trees are planted in rows along
side them. Well, tnv friend Capt. Jim
Murdock eouldu’t get me more than 700
bunches of bananas at OroCaheza. and t
induced him to sail witn rne to Port An
tonio. Here 1 tound a splendid land
locked harbor, with deep water. Capt.
Jim succeeded in buying I,6oobunches of
bananas tor me in a short time. The na
tives were only too glad to sell them at 6
to 18 cent s a bunch. Tae people were very
poor. They had no monev and very little
to eat. and no clothing to speak of. 1 paid
$250 for my eargo. 1 reached Boston in
eltven days and discharge,! i,120 bunches
ot good bananas. For one very handsome
bunch I got and the man who pur
chased it sold it in ten minutes for $35.
Since that time I have been engaged in
tbe banana trade and have seen the ports
of Jamaica built up and tbe peoplegrow
ing rich. The natives don’t spend mu"h
on their living. Their wardrobe princi
pally consists of a coffee sack, with boles
for arms and the head, and belted around
the waist with a rope. The other items in
their living stand at>out in the same ratio
in the matter of cost. Tney do not invest
or bank their money. They know noth
ing of such things. They bury tbeir money
and hoard it. Sotneot them are quite rich.
The banana tree is a species of tne palm.
It requires very rich and moist ground. It
is a p rous.fibrous tree.and attains from 25
to 4<J feet in height. It is indigenous to
the soil of the ipanels where bananas
abound. The roots are planted in rows
by the natives. They so>>n snoot a sprout
about 4 feet out of the ground. Theu
three or four more sprouts appear at
short intervals, until as many as eignteen
show above the ground irom 1 foot. If
all these are let urow there will be no ba
nanas. So all the sprouts except two or
three of the healthiest are destroyed. The
first sprout will mature in ten to fourteen
months. The first evidence of fruit is a
brilliant purple flower. This soon gives
place to innumerable little bananas,which
rapidly grow to maturity. The next
sprout comes in bearing from three to four
weeks after the first, and others follow at
regular intervals through the year. Each
sprout U-ars one bunch of bananas, and
is cut down when tbe truit is harvested.
The natives receive from 35 to 75 cents per
bunch for bananas, according to size and
quality.”
CLEVELAND AS A DEED-SLAVED.
A Story About a Hunter Who Brought
Down the Oreat Presidential Game*
One year ago last fall, said Seth Green
to a Rochester reporter, Gov. Cleveland
was spending his vacation in the north
woods, at Woodhill lake, shooting and
fishing. The dogs were put out and a
deer started. The Governor was put on a
iavorite run-way, he heard the hounds,
they were coming his way. my word for
it. The thought of office seekers and po
litical enemies wen', out of his head and
theblood went tingling through his veins;
he did not think of any of his friends—not
even Bill Bowman nor Bob Roosevelt, or
R. U. Shertnan. He is said to have great
affection for all his friends, but as the
bounds neared him, I knew it was tbe
best music he had ever heard. 1 have
been there and my opinion is that tbe
blood went surging in and out of bis
heart. It sounded as loud to him as a
bass drum and the only thought he had at
tne time was to see tne deer and keep that
heart still so that it would not scare him
before he came in sight. Well, the deer
came aud stopped broadside within six
rods ot the Governor. He stopped for
some cause.
I do not think it was the thumping of
the Governor’s heart that stopped tbe
deer, but tbe Governor may have thought
different. Well, the deer stopped. I
don’t think tbe Governor lost his head,
for be had a gun and he fired it oft' and the
deer raised his flag and bounded off with
out a scratch. That flag looked as large
to the Governor as a good-sized sail as
the deer went bounding off. If the Gover
nor had had a little talk with me belore
he went he would not have missed the
deer. 1 would have told him to not shoot
at the whole deer, but to pick out a little
spot just back of the shoulder and draw a
bead on that spot. He would have killed
him.
Soon after the Governor got the shot a
friend of mine thought to screen him and
wrote tne Irom Woodbull that the Gover
nor came very near getting a shot at a
deer—there was only a little point of rocks
that hid the deer when he passed, and
when I met the Governor I told him 1
heard he came very near getting a shot at
a (leer. His face lit np as he said “I did
get a shot at a big buck standing not over
six rods from me, and J missed him.*’
Now tbe man, and an amateur at that,
who would not tell a lie under the circum
stances can be believed at all times.
BLOWING UP AN ARSENAL.
Suspected Students Expelled, but Now
Found to be Inuocent.
The following are additional particulars
relative to blowing up of the arsenal
at Lexington, Ya. The State arsenal,
containing over 500 pounds of mortar
powder, kept there for the use of the Vir
ginia Military Institute, was blown to
atoms, presumably by the cadets. A
week prior to the explosion the arsenal
was forcibly entered and a 100-pound keg
ot powder' removed. The institute au
thorities ordered a close i nspectlon of
the cadet barracks, and the missing
powder was discovered secreted in
the lott of the building, accessible
from the room occupied by cadets C’ralle,
of Washington. D. C’.: Norris, of South
Carolina; Irvine, of Virginia; Knox, of
Alabama, and Van lngen, of Louisiana.
These cadets were immediately dismissed.
Since their expulsion evidence has been
adduced proving conclusively their inno
cence aud the impossibility of their com
plicity in the affair. Gen. Smith, Super
intendent of the Institute, regrets his ac
tion in the matter, but the dismissed
cadets refuse to apply for reinstatement.
They intend to carry the matter to the
courts in a suit for damages against the
j institute. , . .
No definite conclusion has been reached
| concerning the explosion of_ the arsenal.
, A military court of inquiry is now in ses
: sion investigating the charges against
Cadet Russell Coles, of Virginia. He is
accused of the destruction of the arsenal.
The case against him rests on the fact
that he was out of bis room ten minutes
before the explosion occurred. Little
doubt of his innocence is entertained, as
he is able to prove an alibi. Consequent
ly the court is in a quandary. The stud
ents of the Washington and Lee Universi
ty are suspected by many of having com
mitted the deed, outers are confident
that it was the work ot negroes actuated
by unknown motives. The explosion was
heard at a distance of twelve miles and
j the debris was thrown over 500 yards.
I The inhabitants of the neighboring vil-
I lages were badly frightened, mistaking
the shock for an earthquake.

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1884.
THE FIELD, FaM AND GARDEN.
We solicit articles for this department. |
The name of the writer should accompany
the letter r article, not necessarily
for publication, but as evidence of good
faith.
Adaptation of Variety.
D n’t change your reasonably good va
riety for a n#w one, mprely because you
h* ar the new is superior in some far-01l
locality. It may be unadapted to your
locality and inferior to those you already
know. Send for a few only and prove
fi: st by experiment whether you may hope
to profit by the change.
Asparagus.
A Mississippi farmer is Dying a quar
ter of an acre of asparagus. Why don't j
some of our own tbrilty farmers go into
It on a larger scale? It is known to be a
favorite vegetable in the market, ala ays
brings a good price North and South; j
while here it is no experiment, but will j
produce with certainty, requiring only >he
proper treatment. Savannah is near the
sea and its truck farms ought to be fa
mous for this salt-loving vegetable luxury.
Tobacco as a Fertilizer.
Recently, in a nursery and flower gar
den, we saw a quantity of tobacco stems
soaking in water for use as a fertilizer.
It Is said to be rich in the mineral ele
ments of plantfood, and thus turned into
a i'quid was r®flered immediately avail
able. In cities where cigars are made
and around tobacco factories considerable
quantities can be procured at small cost.
If the waste from tobacco throughout the
country could be utilized, it would add
thousands of tons annually to the supply
of fertilizers.
Trees on tbe Farm.
Does a tarin look well without trees?
W’hat painter woul 1 deign to paint a farm
without its clumps of trees with rich green
foliage? But there is also great utility in
trees on the farm. They not only beau
tify the landscape, but they border, shade
and preserve the small streams tom fill
ing up and from drying up. In clumps
tbpy shade the stock from summer's heat
amd keep vegetation green around them.
Hill sides, now bare and psor, might be
made rich and valuable by planting nut
and other fruit trees to renew the soil and
yield crops of fruit. Chestnuts, walnuts;
pecans, hickory and other nuts will all
grow well if properly started on the clay
hillsides.
“The Black Belt.”
A Nojihern writer who recently visited
FlorhiaxfescriiMis the middle couuties ol
tbe State as the “black belt,” superior in
soil to other sections of the State, undu
lating and admirably adapted to agricul
ture. The belt here referred to also em
braces the adjoining tier of counties in
Southern Georgia. Tbe belt is about 80
miles long and about 50 miles wide, some
times called the “cotton belt” of the lower
South, and, all things considered, is the
most pleasurable strip ol land inhabited
by civilized people. Its climatic and soil
resources to sustaio population and ren
der life prosperous and happy, have, per
haps, no equal on any continsnt, as the
future will show.
Rea Vines and Lime.
If there is any better method of reno
vating light sandy soil than by liming and
plowing in crops of pea vines, it is by
sowing the 60-cal!ed Indian clover or
Florida beggar-lice and allowing them to
tame the land. But the latter is not be
lieved in by many, and so we recommend
the first to all who desire rapid work. It
needs only to be tested on a bit of poor
land to make its way to the front. The
farmer who cultivates poor land when he
could so cheaply make it rich is not “han
kering after’’ any great amount of this
world’s goods, nor is he anxious about the
“reward of labor.”
The pea vines turnish the material and
the lime turns it into the humus so much
needed by old worn out lands, and the
exhaustion of which made it poor. Na
ture supplied this from tbe forests at first
but years of cultivation and drainage ex
hausted tne supply, and common sense
says to recuperate the land restore it.
Fine Cotton.
Dr. Meyer, of Scarboro, formerly of Sa
vannah, banded us last week a sample of
anew variety of cotton, which he had
written on the package, “Dick Miller’s
Cotton.” The bolls are five lobed and
very large, opening rather slower than
some of the favorite varieties, but full and
showy when mature and tbe lint very
white, long and heavy, much above the
average in marketable qualities, if not
equaling the beet articles of short staple.
A marked feature in thisvariety is the great
size of the bolls and the rooust weight
•f the seed, which are mch heavier
than usual and likely to give great satis
faction to the oil mill men. If large, well
formed seed can add anything to the pro
duction of fruit, it must become a leader
among cottons, when onee fixed as a uni
form, distinct variety. At present it does
not appear to be fixed in its individuality,
as its seeds in color range all the way
from light brown to a deep bright green,
the latter predominating and entitling it
to be called a green seed cotton. The
seeds were obtained from the Department
of Agriculture at Washington, and we
think we recognize in it the “coming
green seed” cotton of our old friend, M.
H. Zellner, of Asheville, Ala. We think
the department bought his seed aud dis
tributed them throuah the South.
Second Crop Potatoes.
An intelligent lady who aid3 her hus
band in his farming operations, told us a
few days ago that they had just finished
housing their second crop of Irish pota
toes and that the yield was fine. We
should like to hear from others on the
i same subject. The writer was perhaps
the first to call attention in the press to
the entire pi aeticability of producing two
crops of Irish potatoes in the same year.
That was about twenty-five years ago and
based on his own test. From that time
forward the subject was constantly re
ferred to, but men seemed slow to profit
by the advantage and only new begin to
realize from it. The whole tier of South
ern States, from Carolina to Texas, is
adapted to fall as well as spring crops of
this valuable tuber, rendering it entirely
independent of the Northern production
whenever our farmers make up their minds
to produce the home supply. And why
should they not do it? For a long time
the difficulty was to get seed to plant in
the fall, but now, we believe, that obsta
cle has been overcome; our farmers have
learned lo preserve their potatoes better
and to save their own seed. They have
also had time to test and prove the best
varieties for the South, and they should
now begin to think of keeping at home
that immense sum of money they have
every year been sending North for pota
toes. If the North could make two crops
a year would they buy from the South ?
They are really surprised that we buy of
them when v%could make our own sup
ply so easily, but seeing such want ot
thrift, are not surprised at the “tight
times” of which we so often complain.
The real panacea for the hard times in
the South is the home production of all
we can for home consumption.

verize and mix the whole together. Dose,
a tablespoonful once a day iu a bran
mash.
Lambs may be weaned when from four
to live months old. They and their moth
ers should be separated and placed in lots
out ot sight ot each other, and along with
the young things should be put three or
four wethers or dry ewes to keep them
tame. They should have good pasture
and a little grain daily, whereas the ewes
should be temporarily stinted for the pur
pose of drying up their milk.
The improved Leicester sheep is horn
less; has a small head, bare poll; large,
bright and prominent eyes; clean white
lace and leg-; square, deep neck and
shoulders; straight, flat, Itroad hack; deep
body; tine bones, aud juicy, tender flesh,
with the preponderance ot f it mere on the
outside than the inside of the body. Tne
fleece is fine, silky, glossy and white,
of moderate length, often weighing ten
pounds.
B. G. Smith recommended, at a horti
cultural meeting at Boston, to drive off
the curcuhos from i linn trees by shower
ing with a mixture of one pound of whale
oil soap to five gallons of water. It has
to be applied every day. It is easier and
simpler to kill the insects daily by the
process of jarring the trees and catching
the pests on a sheet and then killing them.
Spraying the trees with a saturation of
London purple is very certain destruction
to curculios and all other depredating in
sects.
When churning keep the temperature
between 55 and 64 degrees, according as
experience dictates. Stop churning when
the butter is in granules about the size of
wheat kernels. Draw off the buttermilk
and w ash in brine until the w ater runs
off clear, as brine coagulates the cheesy
matter, which dissolve- and is then wash'd
out. Use none but the best dairy salt
when saltiug. When packing use firkins,
set in a cool place and keep the batter
covered with brine.
Tbe New York Tribune sach thatYarcy
in the horse can be cured by feeding well,
giving moderate exercise regularly, and
at the same time administering daily six
grains of arcenious acid, a dram of bi
carbonate of potash and eight grains of
powdered nux vomica, in food. Apply
over the tarev buds an ointmentcomnosed
o! equal parts of bt-oxide of mercury and
lard. On ulcers apply powdered sulphate
of iron, to check the morbid process and
discharge and induce a healthy action.
The extraordinary depression in the
price of sugar has attracted the attention
of the English farmer to the desirability
of its use for cattle feeding. Raw sugar
is selling in England at less than 2 cents
per pound. On the Continent cattle are
fed to an immense extent on the best pulp
left after it nas been pressed in the sugar
factories. Sugar or molasses will induce
cattle to eat many varieties of food which
they would otherwise reject, such as poor
hay or cut straw. The English farmer,
w ith his light hay and root crop, will, no
doubt, make use of cheap sugar and mo
lasses in the rations for his cattle.
On the general effect of nitrogenous ma
nures upon vegetatijn, Messrs. Lawes and
Gilbert remark in one of their reports that
“It should be called to mind that a general
tendency of nitrogenous manures is to
favor luxuriant and continuous growth,
as distinguished from arrest and consoli
dation of that already formed, whilst that
of mineral manures is to favor consolida
tion rather than luxuriance. Or. to put
it another way, a characteristic (fleet of
nitrogenous manures is to favor the ex
tension of foliage and to give it a depth
of color, whereas that of the mineral ma
nures is to tend to stem formation and
production of seed.”
The very smallest of all kinds of sheep
is the tiny Breton sheep. It is too small
to be very profitable to raise, for of course
it cannot have much wool; and as for eat
ing, why a hungry man could eat almost
a whole one at a meal. It is so small
when full grown that it can hide behind
a good-sized bucket. It takes its name
from the part of France where it is most
raised. But, if not a profitable sheep, it
Is a dear little creature for a pet, for it is
very loving and, because it is so small, it
is not such a nuisance about tbe house as
was the celebrated lamb which belonged
to a little girl named Mary.
The breeding ol high clas3 milch cows
should be a profitable business in these
days of such rapid development of inter
ests in this country. Heifers produced
from well-known milking stock, aud which
show that the qualities desirable in the
dairy have been t ransmitted, are certainly
a kind of property which should always
be able to command ready sale. Thor
oughbreds of special dairy breeds are
generally too high-priced lor use in this
way, but coul J undoubtedly be used to
breed from to great advantage. High
grade heifers which can be sold at a rea
sonable figure should meet a good market
anywhere.
The tender lambs, pigs, colts and calves
of this year’s crop have so far known no
weather except the warm sunshine of
summer and autumn; but the days are
now at hand when, unless protected, their
bodi *s will be pierced to the quick by tbe
cutting blasts that visit with such disa
greeable frequency aud fierceness the
farms of more than half the American
States. No auitnai, even though matured
and of the sort called “tough,” can hold
its owd, much less thrive or fatten when
in a condition of i*erpetual discomfort
arising from any cause, and it is doubtless
true that the winter's cold causes not only
more discomfort but actual suffering to
farm stock than all other causes com
bined.
Somebody of a mathematical turn, with
nothing better to do, has made the follow
ing computation, which is curious, if not
essentially correct. He says that a Ger
man mile —about rive English miles—con
tains 25,856 feet; a square German mile
contains, therefore, 668,500,000 square feet.
The superficial area of the Lake of Con
stance, being eight and a half German
square miles, therefore contains 5,682,000,-
000 square feet. There are living on the
surface of the globe at this moment, in
numbers, about 1,430,000,000 human
beiflre. Let every man have lour square
feet allotted to him, and if the lake were
frozen over, the whole human family
might find standing room upon its surface.
Should the weight prove too great, the ice
break and the whole human race be sub
merged, it would only raise the level of
the lake about six inches.
When caoutchouc tubes are badly vul
canized, the experience ol M. Limousin
leads him to say that they are very dan
gerous in some chemical operations, the
presence of sulphur and of antimony sul
phide rendering them especially so in the
preparation of oxygen gas.
HOUSEHOLD NOTES.
Chickk.v Fritters.— A good way to
use up bits of < old turkey or chicken is to
c t them in pieces, of uniform size if pos
sible, make a batter of nnlk aud flour and
egg. sprinkle pepperfand salt over the cold
fowl and ni'X with the batter; fry as you
do ant kind of fritt rs in ho’ lard; drain
w !!; serve hot. This is a good breaklast
dUb.
OYSTERJiAUCK.— ParboiI the ovsters in
tbeir own fiquoj, beard them and reserve
all th ■ liquor. Melt a piece of butter in
a saucepan, add a little flour, the oyster
liquor and enough milk to make as much
sauce as i-wanted. Put in a blade of
mace and a bay leaf tied together, pepper
and salt to ta-te and the least dust ol
cayenne. Let the sauce come to the boil,
add the oysters, and as soon as they are
quite hot r< move t e mace and bay leaf.
Stir in a few drops ol lemon juice and
serve.
Fried Chicken, ala Maryland.—Put
butter alone into a deep pan. make it hot,
then take the separate parts of two young,
plump and b nder chickens, lay them in,
sprinkle in pepuerand salt, cover the pan,
cook slowly but st-adtly; when one side
is a delicate brown turn the chicken, and
sprinkle salt and pepper over this side
also; if th*- fat is absorbed add enough to
keep the chicken from burning. Half an
hour should cook it. Serve with small
French peas or button mushrooms, cooked
separately.
Salmi of Duck, with Olives.—Roast
for eight minutes two sprigtail (lucks;
take out and cut off the meat. Break up
tne bones and earoasscs and put on the
tire with water, a dozen cloves, one onion
and some celery to make gravy; when
done strain it off. Put in a stewpnn the
meat, two ounces of butter, the gravy,
salt, pepper (ea'enne), one-balf head of
celery cut in strips, a teaspoonful currant
jelly and a dozen stoned olives; cook
gently ten minutes; stirring it well until
smooth; add a piece of butter rolled in
brown flour, stew live minutes and serve
verv hot.
Spiced Round of Beef.—Take about
20 pounds of round of beef, which rub well
with about three ounces of coarse brown
sugar and put into a pan for 24 hours.
Pound up to a powder two ounces of salt
petre, two ounces of black pepper, two
ounces of allspice, a little nutmeg, one
blade of mace and six cloves. Mix this
with 12 ounces of common salt and the
juice of 4 ounces of pounded juniper ber
ries and rub well into the beef, repeat
ing this daily for three weeks. When readv
to be cooked wash in cold water and place
in a deep covered pan the size of the meat,
to which add a quarter pint of water.
Cover it with beef suet chopped very tine,
over which put a common paste crust.
Place on the cover and put into the oven:
when done let it get cool before taking off'
the crust and suet.
Shoulder of M utton.—Rub it over
with salt and pepper, till the inside with
a savorv tore meat ot herbs, with plentv
of parsley and no eggs; roll it up and
skewer it into a neat oval form or bind it
with a tape; lay it in a stewpan with two
onions, two carrots, some herbs, a bay
leaf, pepper, salt and a little broth or
water; stew it gently over a slow fire or
in the even, basting it often. When nearly
done take off the cover and let the meat
brown in the oven. Before serving take
up the meat carefully, remove the bind
ing and place it on a dish to keep warm
while vou strain tbe gravy; take all the
fat off and boil it down to a strong glazing.
Pour this over the meat. Tomato or sor
rel sauce may be put around the dish or
cucumber sauce with it.
Sheep’s Heart— Make a loicemeat
with two ounces ot beef suet and two
ounces fat bacon finely minced; add quar
ter pound bread crumbs, pepper, salt, a
little chopped parsley and thyme, and a
little grated lemon peel; it liked, the very
faintest soupeon of onion; this quantity
will stuff two sheep’s hearts or one calf’s
heart. Let the hearts iie in warm salt
and water for half an hour to extract the
Wood; then cut away the windpipe and
carefully cl an and dry. Mix your force
meat with sufficient, beaten egg to bind
it—one should be sufficient for this quan
tity. Stuff the hearts with it. pressing it
well down into the holes. Secure the flaps
of skin over the top with a needle and
thread, and roast, basting constantly.
Serve with plain gravy and red-currant
jelly. sheep’s heart will take half an
hourjplcalf's heart, which is the best, an
hour lira hot oven.
HITS OF SCIENCE.
The fly Anthomjza spinaciK, which
was supposed to confine its destructive
attentions mainly to spinach, has allied
itself in Sweden, at least, to the enemies
of the beet-root plantations.
There is a sort of vine which grows in
Cochin China from a tuberous root Its
stem dies down annually in November
and shoots out again in March. From Us
fruit a kind of wine is produced, which
M. Sambuc has examined and has found
its acidity to be high.
Dr. F. Svenonius, who has been engaged
in studying and measuring the glaciers
in Norrland for the last two years, reports
that there are about a hundred glaciers in
Sweden, but that they are very small,
covering in all an area not above nine
Swedish square miles.
Experiments made for the purpose of
testin i the influence of pulps and other
artificially prepared food on cow’s milk
by MM. Andouard and V. Dezaunay dur
ing the years 1883 and 1884, tended to show
that the prepared foods acted injuriously
on tbe milk, but had the effect of increas
ing the quantity of the butter, without
any appreciable bad result on its quality.
M. L. Thollon concludes from a com
parative study ot the different accounts
ot the solar coronas recently observed In
Switzerland, at Nice and at other places
that these phenomena are not merely
halos, but true coronas—that is to say, an
effect of diffraction produced either by
tine dust or by light particles of moisture
existing in the elevated strata of the at
mosphere.
M.Simonin has completed the difficult
task of compiling for the Paris Societe de
Statistique a paper showing the compara
tive deaths arising from accidents iu mines
in some of the countries of Europe. Sax
ony, with 15,073 men in the metalliferous
and coal mines, has 3.30 per 1,000 killed
annually; Belgium, with 76,697, has 2.38;
Great Britain, with 558,817, has 2.18; Aus
tria, with 41,133, has 2.10, and France,
with 105,742, has 2.09. The tables in full
are very instructive.
The remarkable fact has been demon
strated that railways may be the means
of enriching the flora of places through
which they pass. The extension in 1878
of an important road into the province of
Helsingland, Sweden, has been followed
by the immigration along the line ot no
less than seven species of plants which
were before unknown in districts where
they now appear. One species seems to
have been spread 20 miles along the rail
ways course in 1882, and about one degree
during the last four years.
Two grand engineering schemes.fraught
with far reaching social and political in
fluences of much greater consequence
than those which appear on the surface,
are attracting attention in Europe at pre
sent. The one is the proposed railway
tunnel through the Pyrenees, the conven
tion for wbich has been signed bv the
Franco-Spanish International Railway
Commission. The other is for the forma
tion of a company to construct an inter
national railway connecting Europe with
Persia, India, Burmah and China.
In a glassworks near Paris air stored
under pressure supersedes blowing by the
mouth, except in a few cases. Some such
recourse has been a desideratum. Glass
blowers are very susceptible to various
diseases oi the lips and cheeks, besides
being predisposed to tumors and rupture.
Boys employed at an age when their
growth is still rapid and the general sys
tem weak, are frequently permanently
injured by their efforts in glass blowing.
But it has been found far from easy to
make mechanical take the place of natu
ral means in this art.
M. Dieulefait ascribes the origin cf the
phosphates of lime in the southwest of
France to the action of saline waters dur
ing the tertiary epoch, analogous to, if not
identical with, those of the lagoons of the
present time. The saline and concentrated
waters of these lagoons, which certainly
existed in tertiary times, performed a
twofold function in the production of the
natural phosphate of lime. In the first
place, they attacked the limestone rocks
far more actively than ordinary water
could have done, and then they contribu
ted directly phosphoric acid, which is still
being deposited in the shallow lagoons of
the Rhone delta.
Advice to fttotneri.
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Strop
snouia always be used when children are
cutting teeth. It relieves the little suf
terer at once; it produces natural, quiet
sleep by relieving the child from pain, and
the little cherub awakes as “ bright as a
button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It
soothes the child, softens the gums, al
lays all pain, relieves wind, regulates
the bowels, and is the best known remedy
tor diarrhoea, whether arising from teeth
ing er ether causes. 25 cents a bottle.
