PHOSPHATE Facts About an Important Agri¬ cultural Product. How Coral Insects Aid In the Formation of Phosphates. jlov. T. W. Moore, a recognized au .lior.ty on the formation of minerals, writes as follows for tho Fcruandina (Fla.) Mirror: For many years 1 have not been sat¬ isfied with the theories given in booki ns to the origin of phosphnto rocks. Those theories do not account for all the facts, and especially for tho facts of quantity and masses. I will not discuss the theories given in the books, but stale the threo causes of phosphate formation in Florida. There arc three uistlnct formations of phosphate deposit in the State. The first I shall mention is the deposit of eoprolites or the deposit from animals which live on flesh. These are richest in phosphorus. The second formation 1 have reached is occasioned by the absorption of phosphoric acid from decaying animals and vegetable matter. Where this formation has been found C’c strata are thin. Both this and the former class are limited. Accepted authorities account for both of these. The third formation is much more general and in immense quantity in the State. It is of ttiis I would write especially. The lK-ilrork on which rests the pe- ninsula of Florida has, 6incc what is known by geologists as the Vicks¬ burg upheaval, been slowly rising from the bed of the ocean. As this bedrock came lo within 300 feet of the surface of the water the coral in¬ sects began to build. Through their labors a series of coral reefs have been constructed extending from south Georgia to the most southern key off our coast. Fnnd and drift filled up the intervals between these keys. By this means a dam lias been thrown across what was once the channel of the gulf stream. The eoral rocks arc porous and hence allowed the water from the gulf of Mexico in seeking its outlet eastward to filter through. As the lime gave up its carbon in com¬ bination with oxygen it took up the phosphorus, with which the water of the gulf is so heavily charged, and so formed phosphate of lime, or what is known commonly as the whito phos¬ phate. Three things have to be taken into this account: 1. The coral and shell had to have time to decompose, or give up the carbon, before they could take on the phosphorous; hence but little phosphorous is likely to be found in tho younger reefs. 2. Tho pres- sure against the sido of tho peninsula must be immense, as the gulf stream flows at the rate of front four to six miles per hour. 3. The waters of the gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean sea contain more phosphorous than any water 1 have ever sailed over. Night after night 1 have sat on decks of steamers to note the tracks of light made by their passogo through the water. The eoral reef is a most beneficent arrangement of Providence, as it not only constitutes the foundation of islauds and continents, but arranges a system of filters which purify tho waters and collect for man’s uso a most important agricultural product. But for their work the seas could not be inhabited by the fish. A most re¬ markable fact about Ih so minute in¬ sects is that they build only in swiftly moving waters, and so render their structure when abandoned by them the more effective as a lilteivr. The quantity of phosphates found in Florida will modify the price of them throughout tho world, reduce the cost of fertilizers in our own State, bring millions of capital here, and give employment to thousands. Faint ing Brooklyn Bridge. The girders and suspenders of the Brooklyn Bridge are being painted for the second time since I lie completion ol the structure. This dangerous work is done for the most part by men who have had some experience in the rig¬ ging of a ship. Thousands of persons who daily walk over the promenade fail to notice the painter swinging in his boatswain’s chair 200 feet from the water, with his pot of paint swing¬ ing back and forth in the stiff oreeze from tlie ocean. The painter first re¬ moves the old paint with a small steel chisel, and then renews it from his l>ot- AVhat the painters most regret is the wear and tear of overalls upon the rough wires. AVIicn the bridge was painted several years ago two men fell from tlie suspenders, one upon the roadway, fracturing three ribs, and the other into the water, from which he was rescued frightened but unhurt._ [Chicago Herald. Albat “Nctsukes” Are. “Netsukes” are curious little, bits ol ivory caning, which are strung on swords or used on chatelaines in Jap¬ an, or in various other ways, for per. sonal ornaments or for bric-a-brac. The different Japanese gods, the dog of Fo and other sacred animals aro represented in these bits of carving, which are sold in Japanese stores at $1.50 each. They are sometimes mounted on lacquer boxes.—[New York Tribune, FOR FARM A ' I) li Alt DEN. HOW TO TREAT A COl.T. When you have taught a colt to let you mount and lend him, take him out into tho yard and let him stand still or walk, ns he pleases. In starting him don't send him off with n rush, but pull him gently to one sido with a horizontal rein. If he does not guide, you have mounted him too soon. If ho walks quietly, get off his hack and lend him a mile away from home, and then remount him and ride him home at a walking pace. l)o not at first attempt to ride him away from his home, as it will inevitably lead to a tight.— [Commer¬ cial Advertiser. IMPOUTANT POINTS IN EGG PIIODITTION. AVith careful management there is none of our small industries that is more profitable than raising eggs for our city markets. AYlicn eggs alone are desired the fowls selected should be Leghorns, white-faced black Span¬ ish, Minorcas or other laying breed ~ . Avoid the common mistake of giving too much stimulating food. Bear in mind the elements that enter into the composition of an egg and feed ac¬ cordingly. Oats, wheat and barley are all good for eggs, with just enough corn to supply a proper degree of heat. A sudden change from one kind of grain to another will often stop hens from laying for a short time, as will sudden change of any feed. AVhole corn, being hard to digest, should he given very sparingly to lay¬ ing pullets. Supplement the food of laying hens with an occasional relish of ground bone, chopped meat and charcoal.—[New York World. ItEl’AIKIN'G ROADS ON I1II.I.V LAND. Hoads may be repaired at any lime, except when they are saturated with water. Drains, either on (he surface or under it, aro a most effective means of repair. In hilly localities broken stone is most useful for making re¬ pairs. AVfttcrbnrs made of broken stone will bo permanent, as they will not be cut through and channels thus made to wash out and dam go the work. Culverts paved with broken stone arc not washed out, and slay where they are put. The most effec¬ tive way to use tho stone is to lay large pieces where they arc to stay and break them there with an eight-pound steel hammer. This pounds the rock together and makes it very solid and firm. A mud-sill of a large saw-mill, set on a foundation of rock thus broken, on very soft ground, lias not moved or sunk perceptibly to a level during two years; and for founda¬ tions of this kind there is no better material than this.—[American Agri¬ culturist. SHIPPING EGGS. This season has been a very busy one in the egg business, farmers and breeders shipping eggs in large mnn- bers to customers for hatching. The packing of eggs lias consider¬ able to do with tlie hatching on ar- rival at destination. Of course fresh¬ ness is also very important, and a good, close sitter as well. Baskets square or round made of either chip or willow are considered the best; (lie former are much tho cheaper and con- sequently more largely used. They are of different sizes to hold from one to six dozen; more than this number are usually sent in an egg crate. The tilling of tho basket should be soft material; bran or fine chaff arc both good and largely used. The eggs arc wrapped in tissue paper and placed in rows with a space between each egg, and this spacefilled with the chaff or bran and packed tightly. A layer of bran is covered over the first layer of eggs, and another lot of eggs put in as the first was. Care should be taken to securely pack each egg so that none a e broken in transit. Eggs will carry anv distance if packed in this way.—[Farm, Field and Stock¬ man. maxims for milkers. After you have brushed the udder ;lean milk tlie cow as fast as you can and milk her clean to the last drop. If more than one milker is employed do not converse. You or lie will have to stop and ask, “AVhat do you say?’’ If you are musica ly inclined you may hum in a low tone. The cow will like it and commence ruminating. Never drive milk cows or fattening stock faster than a walk. Acu have no need of a dog in bringing the catt'e homo from past lire. Do not allow or force milk cows to drink ice-cold water. Your cows will certainly fall on in their milk tin,css housed in a warm stable during inclement or very cold weather. If you desire your cows to do their best at the pail, give them a change of food as often as possible. To sell milk pays better than to make it into butter and cheese and sell it ns solids. If your cow is in heat and has been served keep her confined away from the herd. If you sell milk breed into it Avr- 6hires or Holstcins. If you make butter for sale breed into the Channel island eat Jo. Never sell a heifer calf to the butcher if it is possible for yon to raise it. AVIicn treat y used, the curry-comb and brush are just as needful for milk cows as they aro for work horses, Sixty cents will buy a pair ot Tim¬ ber shoes. Buy a pair and wear them while you are at your stuble cleaning. Before you enter your dwelling or milk-room leave the rubbers in on outhouse. Then tho madam will not need to hold her nose to avoid taking in the odors of the barnyard.—Chica¬ go Times. im>n’t hide a good house to death. A willing horso should never he overworked. This good old adage applies to many things besides horses. The free-growing vegetable plants of the garden, which once well set last a lifetime, as rhubarb and asparagus, are especially subject to this reason¬ able and safe management. Both of these plants are now the mainstay of the housewife eager to set before her hungry household such healthful and agreeable food as the early season af¬ fords, and consequently she cuts theso vegetables as close as she can. But plants can be overworked as much as animals can. The roots are actively at work gath- ering food and distributing it to every stem ami leaf. But plants must breathe as well as feed. The food is prepared for assimilation and growth of tissue in a plant by means of air taken in by the leaves, quite as much ns in an animal. Plants arc smothered and suffocated for want of air, by overcrowding by other plants which obstruct the air currents, and by tho removal of the breathing organs, the leaves, just as much as animals aro when they are crowded too closely or their nostrils are closed. So that if asparagus or rhubarb is cut too closely, the whole plant is weakened and its growth is arrested. Consequently in cutting these plants care is to be taken to leave enough stalks to support the plant and permit the necessary root growth for future bearing. If the plantation is not large enough more plants should be procured. The free growth, however, permits frequent cutting if two or threo stalks are left.—[New York Times. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Thorough tillage tells in a dry time. If you are through planting, go to harrowing at once. A fast walker on tho farm is more profitable than a trotter. Mulching with straw is a good plan in growing late potatoes. If a dry spell coincs on, keep tho cultivator gnng all the more. Did you ever know of any one who cultivated any crop too much? Make the yield as good as possible, this reduces the cost of production. There is no better fertilizer on the farm than sheep and plenty of clover. For about six weeks in the Fall pumpkins make as cheap milk as any teed used. Are you feeding grain to your cows, or are they living on what slough grass they can pick? The growing calves will enjoy a drink of water these hot days, though they do have milk night and morning. If the cows are poorer since going upon grass than before you may rest assured there is something wrong with them or their feed. llot AVliter to Relieve Thirst. It is a mistake to suppose that cold drinks are necessary to relieve thirst. Very cold drinks, as a rule, increase the feverish condition of the mouth and stomach, and so create thirst. Experience shows it (o be a fact that hot drinks relieve the thirst and “cool off” tlie body when it is in an abnor¬ mally heated condition better than ice- cold drinks. It is far better and safer to avoid tho, free use of drinks below 00 degrees; m fact a higher lempera- ture is to be preferred; and those who are much troubled with thirst will do well to try the advantages to be de¬ rived from hot drinks, instead of cold fluids to which they have been accus¬ tomed. Hot drinks also have the ad¬ vantage of aiding digestion, instead of causing debility of the stomach anc bowels. Canary Rearing Industry. Germany carries on a large trade in the export of canaries. Every year she sends no fewer than 130,000 of these birds to America, 3000 to Eng¬ land and about 2000 to Russia. The great nursery for the breeding of canaries is the Havtz Mountains. Many of the peasants arc engaged in the work of rearing the birds, and receive wages of from $50 to $125 a year for their trouble, an impo tant addition to their earnings. Many canaries come also from the Black Forest, but they do not fetch such high pi ices as the Hartz birds, not being considered such good songsters. Largest Cistern in the AVorld. The largest cistern in tho world is under tho machine shop at the Charlestown (Mass.) Navy Yard. It is 100 feet in diameter, with a depth of forty feet. It was built in 185S by Master Laborer Oiis Little, and sup¬ plied water to the great machine plant. The cistern was fed from a number of wells on the higher land near Chelsea street, by means of underground aque¬ ducts. More than 850,000 bricks wero used in its construction.

In collections centuries old, to be seen in both China and Japan, are specimens of the most remarkable drawings in the world—pictures of all kinds drawn with the thumb nail. The nails of the thumb on the lefl hand of these peculiar artists are al¬ lowed to grow to an enormous length, sometimes to a foot or nineteen inchef and arc then pared down to a pen- shaped point. Dipping this oddly constructed pen in beautiful vermilion or sky-blue ink, the only kind of ink used in theso “sacred” thumb-nail drawings, the artist gracefully out¬ lines his work. Occasionally the bold touches from tho studio of a master in this department of “high art” are life- size, and are sketched by a few sweeps of the artist’s arm__[Chicago Herald- A A'esscl Saved by a Fish.

Six or eight pounds of the round of beef, half a pound of fat salt pork, three tablcspoonfuls half of turnip, butter, two onions, tablepsoon- half n carrot, a two fuls of vinegar, one heaping tablespoon¬ ful of salt, half a teaspoonful of pepper, two cloves, six ailsp ce, a bit of stick cinnamon, a bouquet of sweet herbs, or a teaspoonful marjoram, each of dried tablcspoonfuls thyme and sweet four of flour and two quarts of boiling water. Cut the pork in thick strips as long as the beef is thick, and draw them through it at regular intervals with a larding needle, or the holes can be made with a steel or a boning knife and the slips of pork pushed butter in. Chop in the vegetables and line; melt them the it, letiing a large saucepan add to them cool for five minutes; dredge the meat with the flour and brown thoroughly on both sides. Tuke it out, add one quart of the Water and let it boil a minute, stirring s’eadiiy. Then put back the meat, add the other quart with all the remaining seasoning; cover close¬ ly, and simmer gently for four or even five hours. Then tuke up. Draw the saucepan forward; skim off all the fat from the gravy, and boil it rapidly for ten or fifteen minutes in order to reduce it. For a pint of gravy allow oue table¬ spoonful of browned flour, though many prefer lemon is it unthickened. The juice of a is left between an improvement. Put whatever with two plates, and press a heavy weight. It is even better cold than hot. Save every particle of gravy, as it can be used either in a final mince or in soup. A New Stalactite Cave. A stalactite cave of enormous extent has been discovered at Reclere, close to the French frontier, and is attracting considerable interest among geologists and others, The whole extent of the cave has not yet been ascertained; but an idea can be formed of its size from the circumstance that a few days ago two ex¬ ploring tering parties visited and the the cave, one en¬ at 8 a. m. other at 11 a. m., and each party roamed about for sev¬ eral hours, without coming across the other. The cave is fairly dry, contain¬ ing, small so pond, far as now ascertained, entered only a and it can be with perfect safety. Amount of Gold in the World. An English writer says that “the quan¬ tity of gold in the world is not nearly so large ns it is commonly supposed to be. If it could all be collected in one spot, it would form a pile only 2.3 feet high, 45 feet long, and 25 feet wide. The reason for the smallness of the space which the world’s stock of gold would fill is to a great extent accounted for by the density of the metal. A cubic foot of it weighs more than twelve hundred pounds.” In view of the great discoveries of gold during the last fifty years, this appears to ba a remarkable statement; one that should attract the attention and investi¬ gation of the leading scientists. Mint Sauce. Two powdered tablcspoonfuls of green mint, one of sugar, a quarter of a pint of vinegar. Wash the mint, which should be freshly gathered.
