USEFUL KNOWLEDGE.
Chinese Preparation op Soy.— Equal j
quantities of beans and wheat are boiled
together, and then triturated between
stones, aud water occasionally added.
The mass is cooked in a pan, and cut
into thin slices, which are kept covered
with straw for about twenty days.
When completely fermented, the separ
ate slices having become moldy, they
are washed with water, placed in a ves
sel, and their weight of water and of
salt added. Jn this condition they are
kept for a number of days, and are
finally again triturated between stones.
Chinese Preparation of Vermicelli.
A dough is prepared out of small green
peas by soaking them thoroughly in
water and grinding them between stones,
adding water and pressing them through
a sieve; then subjecting the mass ob
tained by pressure in a strong vessel
and thus removing the water. This
dough, well softened with water, is
poured through a gourd vessel, usually
with ten holes in it, into a vessel of
bailing water; the higher the gourd
above the boiling water, the longer and
finer the vermicelli. On removal from
the boiling water the threads are imme
diately dried.
A Permanent Paste.— The following
process will, it is said, afford an un
usually adhesive paste, adapted to fas
tening leather, paper, etc., without the
defects of glue; which, if preserved
from evaporation in closed bottles, will
keep for years. Cover 4 parts, by
weight, of glue, with 15 parts of cold
water, and allow it to soak for several
hours ; then warm moderately till the
solution is perfectly clear, and dilute it
with 65 parts of boiling water, intimate
ly stirred in. Next prepare a solution
of 30 parts of starch in 200 parts of cold
water, so as to form a thin, homogene
ous liquid, free from lumps, and pour
the boiling solution of glue into it with
thorough stirring, and at the same time
keeping the mass boiling.
Utilization of Old Fish Pickle.—
It would hardly be supposed that so
apparently innocent a substance as old
fish pickle would have any special med
ical or physiological properties. The
fact is, however, that in the earliest
ages it was believed to have important
medicinal qualities ; and quite recently
it has been used to a very great extent
in the manufacture of propylamine and
methyl amine (maintained to be distinct
bodies by some and simply different
forms of the same substance by others),
now so largely employed as a remedy
in acute articular rheumatism. Recent
experiments also show that a small
quantity of this pickle administered to
poultry produces fatal results ; and in
France it is quite common where the
premises are infested by a neighbor’s
poultry, to soak grain in this pickle,
and when dry to throw it out where the
intruders can take it; the result in
most cases being their death in a short
time.
Hardening Steel Tools, Etc. —The
following secret, unpatented composi
tion, suggested by the chemist Kulicke,
has been employed with success at
Saarbrucken for restoring burned steel
to its primitive condition, and as it af
fords a peculiar hard metal, it is also
used for tempering steel tools that are
too soft, or may become so by use, as
chisels, saw-blades, etc. Although
rather expensive, it is really an eco
nomical treatment where large numbers
of steel tools are used. Burned steel
heated to a oherry red, and forged
somewhat on an anvil, is plunged into
a well mixed doughy mass, in a box
near by, composed of tartaric acid, 6
ounces; cod oil, 30 ounces; charcoal
powder, 2 ounces; bone black, 8 ounces;
beef tallow, 10 ounces ; yellow prussiate
of potash, 5 ounces, and burned harts
horn, 3 ounces, and is then completely
cooled in water. Steel tools are simi
larly treated. Small articles of cast
iron, such as wheel-boxes, axle-bearings,
etc,, maybe successfully case-hardened
by being plunged red hot into a mixture
of 10 buckets of urine, 5 pounds of
whitening, and 4 pounds of salt.
Effect of Topping Potato Stalks.
Comparative experiments to determine
whether cutting off the stalks at the
commencement of the potato disease
protected the tubers without diminish
ing the yield, were made by Paulsen,
by raising one row and topping another
on the same day, at regular intervals.
While the result showed that the sep
arate rows, by like treatment, without
disease, varied in yield, the topped
plants bad for the most part a larger
proportion of large tubers than those
that had been raised on the same day.
It seems, however, that only water is
taken up by the tubers after topping,
since no increase of dried matter was
found when the topping occurred so
late that the stalk did not grow again ;
and under any circumstances the yield
seemed poorer in quality and quantity
than without topping. Although the
stalks topped at the proper time had
fewer diseased tubers, the spores of the
fungus seem to be carried to the tubers
through the stalks rather than by rain;
otherwise the topped stalks would have
received a supply from the neighboring
ones. In warm, dry weather the in
growth is greater than in cool, wet pe
riods. Early kinds of potatoes seemed
to do better than late ones. Heavy
manuring, especially with horse or
sheep manure, favored the disease, and
increased the watery contents, and the
yield was also less, although with lux
uriant growth of the stalks.
Destruction of Phylloxera.—Tes
sie de Motay remarks that among the
many propositions for the destruction
of the phylloxera or the grape-vine
louse, apart from the method of flood
ing the roots of the vine with water dur
ing the winter season, the application
of sulphur is most efficient, and that
the method of applying this, as it is
customary, in its crude form, does not
meet the needs of the case, as it is not
carried sufficiently far into the soil to
act upon the insects. We must, there
fore, resort to some very soluble and
assimilable chemical compounds, and
this is best done by using in succession
two different|liquids, the mutual decom
position of which will result in the sep
aration of the sulphur in a nascent
state. Two processes are suggested by
him for accomplishing the result. In
the first of these ho waters the foot of
the vine with a solution of a soluble
hyposulphite belonging to an alkaline
or alkaline-earth series. As soon as
the acid solution, in penetrating the
has reached the roots, he waters
™vmew'u ; .tljL a solution containing a suffi
cient quantity of the acid phosphate of
lime, soda or potash, since the excess
of phosphoric acid saturates the base
of the hydrosulphito originally em
ployed, thus producing the nascent sul
phur. In the second method he waters
the plant either with a liydrosulphate
of sulphur, or with any other sulphate
of the alkaline or alkaline-earthy series.
As soon as this solution has penetrated
the soil sufficiently to bathe the roots
lie applies a solution containing a suffi
cient quantity of soluble hyposulphate
to produce the nascent sulphur by
double reaction. The same solution
may be employed, alternately, for
watering the trunk, branches, or the
leaves even, as well as the roots of the
plant, with the object of destroying
parasites.

—Among the mechanical novelties of
the American Institute Fair at New
York there is exhibited a diamond saw,
which gives promise of great things,
and may justly be ranked with the dia
mond drill and sand-blast. The diamond
saw consists of a thin metal disk, the
teeth of which are nothing more than
minute black diamonds, imbedded in the
metallic edge of the sheet. When re
volving at a high speed, this disk cuts
into the sides of a stone slab as though
it were a piece of timber ; and not only
can straight cuttings be made, but, by an
ingenious mechanical device, bevels and
rounded edges are cut. Asa labor-sav
ing machine, the inventor judges that
one of them will do the work of four
teen stone-cutters.
The Best Pathfinders. —As the
frosts of winter destroy their pastures
in the north, so the heats of summer
parch those in the south, and the buffa
loes must, each spring and autumn,
take long journeys in search of fresh
feeding grounds. The large size and
weight o: these somewhat clumsy ex
plorers make it rather difficult for them
to cross the mountains, so they seek
out for themselves the most practicable
routes ; and hunters and emigrants have
found that a “ buffalo track” offers the
surest and safest path for men and
horses. The best passes in the Cum
berland and Rocky mountains, and the
regions of the Yellowstone and the
Colorado, have been discovered by fol
lowing the trail of these sagacious
animals.
I know this is so, for the great travel
er, Humboldt, once wrote: “In this
way the humble buffalo has filled a
most important part in facilitating geo
graphical discovery in mountainous re
gions otherwise as trackless as the
Arctic wastes or the sands of Sahara,”
A Florida Panther Story.
\\ idle hunting near the coast, a few
days since, it was my misfortune to wit
ness a sickening and heart-rending scene
near a bayou. My companion and self
had been hunting two or three days
previous near the locality, and shot
tour deer, one of which ran toward that
spot-, so badly wounded that I thought
it would fall within two hundred vards
of the place at which it was shot"; but
as we had as mauy as we desired for
that day me did not trace it. On our
return, two days aftrrward, to hunt near
the same place, I noticed buzzards fly
ing near the spot where I suspected that
the deer had gone, and suggested to my
companion to g > to it, just to satisfy
myself that I was correct in my sur
mise, and also to show him how accu
rately I could shoot; for he continually
taunts me with the number of deer that
carry with them evidences of my poor
marksmanship. On approaching the
spot the stench was so unpleasant that
we were in the act of retracing our
steps when I noticed a buzzard hop as
if chased, and insisted on going far
en u h to be satisfied that I was cor
rect. On nearer approach, a most hor
rible scene was before us. About twen
ty paces from a bayou, a number of
immense alligators were keeping off a
flock of buzzards from a partially eaten
and decomposing body of a human be
ing, and near by, the carcass of a pan
ther ! The head and limbs of the
human being were severed from the
body, a r and were scattered in an area of
fifteen feet. The head was bruised,
scratched, swollen an < eaten so that it
could not be recognized, except that it
was a wliiteman’s. Nearly all the flesh
was eaten off the bones, and so recently,
too, that the traces of large teeth were
noticeable. The carcass of the panther
was also devoured. A large, heavy
sailor s knife, stained with blood, was
near the trunk of the human being, and
there were other evidences of a desper
ate struggle for life between tl e man
and the panther. As we approached
none of the guardians over the dead
moved until my companion threw a
heavy pine knot into their midst, when
the smaller retreated into the water, the
1 trger moving sullenly in that direction,
but never going farther than the edge,
all the time closely watching every
movement we made.
When my companion began to collect
the bones of the man for interment,
while I held both guns, the alligators,
near the edge, became ferocious, and
about ten rushed madly toward us. We
stood our ground, and fired four times,
fatally wounding, if not killing, as many
al igators. I looked toward the bayou
and its surface was covered with alliga
tor heads as far as the eye could reach,
which came toward the shore, I suppose
to learn the cause of alarm. As we did
not wish to wage war with the alligator
kingdom, amid the stench which was
nearly stifling, we retreated.
All inquiry has failed to furnish in
formation in regard to the man, except
what has been detailed above. It is
conjectured that he was an unfortunate
sailor who had been shipwrecked and
cast ashore, and who, in seeking to
reach some habitation of man, was over
taken by the sad misfortune which be
fell him. —Marianna Courier.
Scenes from the Tweed Trial.
Tweed was the weakest criminal who
ever stood at the bar, and Davis the
most inexorable jnge who ever sat on
the bench. As the latter delivered his
long address, which ;would have been
only a stump speech had it not had a
sting in it in the shape of a sentence,
and the Aral sentence was fore-shad
owed in various forms. Tweed bent
his head, overwhelmed with mortifica
tion, and in the deepest dread of what
was to follow. He was surrounded by
friends who appeared really humiliated
by his display of weakness. He has a
most violent temper, and his outburst
of rage in the time when he was power
ful would awe his most intimate confi
dents. To day those whom he has
threatened would have laughed at his
weakness if they had not felt that his
conviction and sentence let down flood
gates, and that they might be the next
to be overwhelmed and condemned.
Tweed was surronded by his friends,
among whom were two ladies whom I
did not know, and whom I had not the
heart to ask after. But the story filled
the court that they were his daughters,
the only women of all he has enriched
—for Tweed was a generous thief, and
shared with the natural consorts of
thieves the profits of the wholesale pick
pocket—to attend him in his hour of
supremest peril. Behind him, prom
inent by his peculiar appearance as by
his political standing, was Thomas Led
with, who, two years ago, ran against
Judge Davis for the seat at present oc
cupied by the latter, and who, if Tweed’s
designs had succeeded, might have been
trying and sentencing him, instead of
encouraging and sympathizing with
him.
The Sun’s Ciust.
Prof. Charles A. Young caused consid
erable discussion at the American sci
ence association’s meeting at Portland,
lately, by some unique theories regard
ing the sun. The eruptions which are
continually occurring on its surface
render probable the supposition that
there is a crust of some kind which re
tains the imprisoned gases, and through
which they force their way in jets, with
great violence. According to Prof.
Young, this crust may consist of a more
or less continuous sheet of descending
rain—that is, a downfall of the con
densed vapors of those materials which
we know, from the spectroscope, exist
in the sun. The continuous efflux of
the solar heat is equivalent to the sup
ply that would be developed by the con
densation, from steam to water, of a
layer of about five feet thick over the
whole surface of the sun, every minute
of time. As this tremenduous rain de
scends, the velocity of the falling drops
would be retarded by the resistance of
the denser gases underneath ; the drops
would coalesce until a continuous sheet
would be formed; and these sheets
would unite and form a sort of bottom
less ocean, resting on the compressed
vapors beneath, and pierced by innu
merable bubbles. It would have an
approximately constant depth, because
it would turn to vapor at the bottom as
rapidly as it grew at the surface; though
probably, the thickness of this crust
would continually increase at a slow
rate, and its whole diameter grow less.
In other words, Dr. Young would regard
the sun m an enormous bubble, whose
walls are steadily thickening and its di
ameter ever lessening, in proportion to
the loss of heat.
—There is nothing that will so disarm
and depress certain sensitive natures as
conscious inferiority of dress. Until a
degree of familiarity with the world has
been acquired, or a man has learned
that he has a recognized place in it, his
dress either holds him up in his own
self-respect, or compels him into abject
self-contempt.— J. O. Holland .
Anecdote of Landseer. —The follow
ing anecdote of Landseer is worth re
cording, as showing the geniality and
charitableness of his character: Not
very long before his fatal illness he was
induced to attend a bazar, held for
some benevolent object: “As the cir
cuit of the town where the bazar took
place was being made, a lady friend is
said to have asked the painter how he
was going to help them. Sir Edwin
answered, ‘I think I can try to help
you,’ and, asking for a sheet of paper
and a, pencil, he rapidly sketched a dog.
Placing his initials in the corner, he
handed back the picture to the young
lady. The sketch was subsequently
raffled for, and thereby a handsome ad
dition was made to the funds collected
during the day.”
Heart Disease.— Many persons suf
fer with heart disease without knowing
it; suddenly they drop off, and their
friends are astonished, on a post mortem
examination, to learn that they died of
heart disease. The heart, like the brain,
is the seat of life; its diseases are of sev
eral characters. The most common are
valvular disease, fatty degeneration, and
functional derangement. If the liver
becomes deranged, and digestion is im
paired, the heart, through sympathy and
juxtaposition, becomes abnormal. The
following symptoms indicate approach
ing disease: Palpitation, giddiness,
faintness, nervous prostration, deranged
digestion, vertigo, cold extremities, etc.,
for which the old school will administer
iron, opium, antimony, mercury and
many other poisons. TEleart disease is a
blood disease; purify the blood, remove

Diseased Lungs are Greatly on an
Increase in this Country. —The sud
den changing of weather has done much
to give rise to consumption. But there
are thousands of cases who bring it on
by their own imprudence—such as wear
ing damp clothing, and going from the
warm room into the cold air, and check
ing the perspiration, which causes irri
tation of the lungs, and then matter or
phlegm will collect, which nature will
try to relieve by coughing it up, to pre
vent pustules from forming. If nature
does not raise the matter with ease, and
stop this inflammation, tubercles will
soon form, and consumption will soon
follow. Allen’s Lung Balsam will cure
and prevent thousands of cases of con
sumption if it is only taken in time.

Dr. J. Walker’s California Vin
egar Hitters are a purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from the na
tive herbs found on the lower ranges of
the Sierra Nevada mountains of.Califor
nia, the medicinal properties of which
ire extracted therefrom without the -use
of Alcohol. The question is almost
daily asked, “What is the cause of the
unparalleled success of Vinegar Bit
ters?” Our answer is, that they remove
the cause of disease, and the patient re
covers his health. They are the great
blood purifier and a life-giving principle,
a perfect Kenovator and Invigorator
of the system. Never before in the
history of the world lias a medicine been
compounded possessing the remarkable
qualities of Vinegar Bitters in healing the
sick of every disease man is heir to. They
arc a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation of
the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious
Diseases.
The properties of Dr. Walker’s
Vinegar Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic,
Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Sudorific, Altera
Live, and Anti-Bilious

NEW YORK, 1873-4. WEEKLY, SEMI-WEEKLY, AND DAILY!
THE WEEKLY SUN is too widely known to require any extended recommenda
tion; but the reasons which have already given it fifty thousand subscribers, and
which will, we hope, give it many thousands more, are briefly as follows:
It is a first-rate newspaper. All the news of the day will be found in it, con.
densed when unimportant, at full length when of moment, and always presented in
a clear, intelligible, and interesting manner.
It is a first-rate family paper, full of entertaining and instructive reading of every
kind, but containing nothing that can offend the most delicate and scrupulous taste.’
It is a first-rate story paper. The best tales and romances of current literature
are carefully selected and legibly printed in its pages.
It is a first-rate agricultural paper. The most fresh and instructive articles on
agricultural topics regularly appear in this department.
It is an independent political paper, belonging to no party, and wearing no col
lar. It fights for principle, and for the election of the best men to office. It es
pecially devotes its energies to the exposure of the great corruptions that now
weaken and disgrace our country, and threaten to undermine republican.institutions
altogether. It has no fear of knaves, and asks no favors from their supporters.
It reports the fashions for the ladies, and the markets for the men, especially the
cattle markets, to which it pays particular attention.
Fiually, it is the cheapest paper published. One dollar a year will secure it f<>:
any subscriber. It is not necessary to get up a club in order toliave THE WEEKLY
SUN at this rate. Any one who sends a single dollar will get the paper for a year.
THE WEEKLY SUN.— Eight pages, fifty-six Columns. Only #I.OO a year, no discounts
from this rate.
THE SEMI-WEEKLY SUN.— Same size as the Daily Sun, $2.00 a year. A discount o.
20 per cent, to Clubs of 10 or over.
THE DAILY SUN.—A large four page newspaper of twenty-eight Columns. Daily Circulation
over 120,000. All the news for 2 cents. Subscription price 60 cents a month, or $6 a year.
To Clubs of 1 0 or over, a discount of 20 per cent.
