Adulteration in India Itunnim.—
Tho Bulletin Thcrapentiquo hh\h that,
in order to nso old and worn out
liicoos of India rubber scraps left from
factories, manufacturers having easy
consciences wash tho material Hrst in
a solution of suporenrbonato of soda or
potash, and then, when dry, pulverize
between tho cylinders. This powdr r,
placed layer by layer between sheota of
now rubber and heated to a certain tie-
groe, forms a homogeneous mass, in
which tho fraud cannot be detected.
Tho mixture is, however, weak iu tenon-
ity and elaatioitv, and is unfit for sur
gical use, while dangerous for bolt
ing or other industrial employments.
iNOOMnuBTinLE Paper and Ink.—Au
KogUsh inventor has secured letters
natont for an incombustible fire-proof
ink. Tho pulp for tho pnper is com
posed of vegotablo fibre, ono part; uslies,
two parts; borax, ono-tenth part; and
alum, two-tenth parts, Tho ink can be
used either iu writing or painting, and
ia made according to tho following
recipe: Graphite, finely ground, twenty-
two drachms; copal or other resinous
gum, twelve grains; sulphate of iron,
two drachms: tincture of nut-gall, two
drachms; and sulphate of indigo, eight
drachms. Those substances are thor
oughly mixed and boiled iu wafer. The
graphite can bo replaced by an earthly
pigment of any desired color.
PA'rrv MAmelia in Caht-Iron.—-An
experiment made Jong ago by Proust
revealed tho fact that fatty matters can
be extracted from cast-iron when the
latter is dissolved iu certain acids. • M.

terials in a pure state, and tboir nnaly-
sin reveals the interesting fnot that they
consist of carburets of hydrogen of the
series of Oiln H2n, and prurient all the
terms thereof at Joust from CO DO (pro
plyene) to Cl 011 10. This is a veritable
organic synthesis, roalizod by the uid
of Riibstiinces purely mineral, and is
suBooptible, consequently, of important
applications. In tho Hoienoo Record
for 18751 will bo found an account of

Mil, Dauwin is at present euguged in
investigating some of tho flesh-eating
plants, and some of liis notes upon Dio-
turn musoipula or Veuua Fly Trap
are very interesting. Tho leaf of this
P ant is of very peculiar form. Tho
blade of the leaf consists of two nearly
semi-circular halves or lobes, whioh are
uuited together along their straight
border by a mid-rib. On to this the
two lobes are set in plain's which are
uearly at right, angles to each other.
I ho curved outer edge of each lobe is
streugtlnm;d by a thick border or hem.
From the hem spriug some twenty
spikes on either side, whioh are directed
upward nud inward. The under sur
face is bright green, smooth and glis
tening, and ia marked with parallel
streak8, ihe upper surface ia pink or
red, and is besot with little rod projec
tions, which are called glnuds. F.von
after slight irritation, suoh ns that
whioh is produced when a lly merely
touches ono of the sensitive hairs, or
when they are touched with a dry cam
el-hair pencil, the leaf remains dosed
for some lime, usually more thau twen
ty-four hours, lint if a fly is caught,
or auy other nutritious substance is in
troduced, the case is different. For a
week or more the leaf remains dosed
on its prey, the two lobes being at first
pressed flat against each other. The
two lobes, indeed, close round tho fly
so completely that its body gives rise
to two projections of the (outer)
surface of eae i lobe, which correspond
to it in form. Tho result of this is
that tho secreting glands on the part
of tho loaf against which tho body of
tlio fly presses arc irritated, anil begin
to pour out a quantity of secretion.
Gradually thin effect extends to tho rest
of the loaf, oml consequently its cavity
becomes gradually extended. Between
this process and digestion the resem
blance, ns Mr. Darwin has found by a
most elaborate comparative inveatiga-
lion, is comploto. It digests exactly
tlio snmo substances in exactly the same
way, i. e., it digests tho albuminous
constituents of tho bodies of animals
just as wo digest thorn. In both in
stances it in essential that tho body to
bo digested should bo steeped in n
liquid, which in Diomca ia secreted by
the rod glands on tho uppor surfaco of
tho leaf: in tho other coso, by the
.lands n{ the mucous membrane. In
tioth tho not of secretion is excited by
tho presence of tlio substance to be
digested. In tho leaf, just ns in tho
stomach, tlio secrotion is not poured
out unlenii them is somothing nutritious
contained in it for it to act upon, and
finally in both oams tho secretion is
acid. As regards the stomach, wo know
what tho acid is; it is hyaroohlorio
acid. As regards tho leaf, wo do not
know precisely as yet, but Mr. Darwin
has boon able to arrive at vorv probable
conclusions, tho setting forth of which
i look forward to in his expected work

it will bo soft, smooth, glossy

Interest on Friendship.
In 1851) a young man named Osburn,
who had recently arrived at the mines
from tho cast, pcnnilos and friendless,
wan token sick. Ho told his condition
to a fel low-ndventurer named Hitchcock,
who was a little hotter off, nnd the lat

promise wan kept, and when, after two
mouths’ ill ness, Osburn arose from his

benr his expenses nnd to proouro tools,
Maying to him, " If you ever get able
you ran pay mo back, but do not worry
yourself and injure your health in try

year and a half from that time Osburn
sent Hilohonok $1,250, with tho fellow

Manure,
Josiah Shull, in an address before
the Gdiitral New York Farmer’s Club,
relates tlio following experiment in the
application of green and rotten manure :
1 have used excrement matter in the
spring of tho year, spread nnd plowed
under and cultivated, and well incorpo
rated with the soil, aud planted the laud
with potatoes. Tho potatoes did finely,
were well formed nnd fine for tho table.
At the same tiino, and on the same piece
of laud, plowed under well-rotted ma
nure, with ti c same cultivation, and the
potatoes were overgrown, ill-shaped nnd
soggy, not fit for the market or tho ta
ble. My theory in the case of tho dif
ference in the quality of tho crop was
that the manure being well composted
the notion on tho plants was so vigor
ous ns to cause the tubers to grow very
rapidly, consequently they were soggy
and not fit for the table. Whereas, on
tho part planted with the raw material
the decomposition was just rapid
enough nnd at tho right tun \
Quicks Victoria, not content with

every tendency to dressiness on tho
part of the billies of the royal family,

of the court who indulge in what
her majesty is pleased to consider an
over-dressiness of style. I wish she
would get the English dames nud dam

told that tlio bad taste in dress of the
Duchess of Ediugburgh is something
fearful to contemplate. Her latest in

her royal and imperial highness to look

Jno, Mitchell, theoxiio, who has sailed
for Ireland to engage in tlio politics of
that country, says that no good oar

plete control of her own destinies, and
tho connection with Eugland entirely

not ropieseut the real hope nnd aspira
tions of tho people. That it is a sickly
and nervous effect to patch up tlio no
tional quarrel in an inoomplcte and nn-
satisfaetoiy manner. IIo considers the
whole movement a mere milk-and-water
kink of national effort. IIo will not
place himself iu antagonism with tho
homo rulo movement, but he intends to
demonstrate to ling I and and to tho
world that thoro is something stronger
nnd more det tinincd ill Ireland than

that England will never grant self-gov

all her d-lusivo concessions to Ireland
have boon wrung from her by foroo or

One Way to Stop Clilncli Bugs.
A correspond) nt of tlio Prairie Farm
er writing from southern Illinois, tlniH
deroribes bis way to keep chinch bugs
from ruining bis corn :
If the bugs aro in your oorn, say a few
rows, make up your mind to give them
and the remainder of your corn, and on
nil sides, if there is any probability of
tholr coming in, plow a ditch, with a
good sized plow, as deep as you can
with one horso, throwing the furrows,
one on side and tho other opposite,
then hitch your horse to a log, pay
eight inches in diatnete • and seven feet
long. Mount your log nnd drag through
your ditch or ditches until the earth iH
ns dry and fine an (lour iu tho bottom,
and on both sides. Keep it in this con
dition by draggring your log twice n
day. And thoctmiequeuee will be that a
few, very few, bugs will get over, the
fine earth nu the aides affording no
foothold. This way is simple, easy and
sure, and if your oiiinch hugs oan olimb

Cotton Manufacturers' Dividends,
The south and west aro becoming a
little envious of the huge profits of the
manufacturing companies iu Now Eng
land, and ono of their wide-awake jour
nals, to show just how it iH, 1ms com
oiled a table of tho dividends dclnred
by some of the leading cotton and wool
en mills in 18751. From this it appears
that twenty-six companies out Jof forty-
soveu divided from ten to thirty per
cent. each. The Ohioopeo declared
thirty per cent., tho Cooheco twenty,
tho Lancaster twenty-two aud a half,
and the Pacific mills twenty per cent.
Results like these are certainly calcu
lated to excite the manufacturing ambi
tion of other communities. And at
some future day, when southern capital
will be a less intangible thing thau it is
at presout, investments, in enterprises
of that kind will doubtless be more
common tlmu they aro at present.—iV.

Cleanse tho Vitiated Blood when-

cleanse it when you find it obstructed and
sluggish iu the veins; cleanse it when ic is
foul; your'feeling* will tell von when. Keep
the oioou pure, and the health of the system
will follow.
