Meal and Caycars. One gentleman writes, "All my young
pheasants last season were sickly, and several died; those

in two daye, and became fine and beautiful birds."

SCIENTIFIC JOTTINGS.—From experiments per-
formed on living subjects, Drs. Estor and Saint-
Pierre, in seeking the cause of the redness which accom-
panies inflammation, have arrived at the following results'
—l. In the case of strong inflammations, the venous blood
taken from the side where the inflammation resides is red-
der than that taken from the other side ; 2, the former
blood always contains a larger proportion of oxygen than
the other, generally half as much again and more ; 3, it also
contains more carbonic acid ; 4, that the excess of oxygen
being the cause of the greater redness of the blood, it follows
that it is also the cause of the redness which accompanies
inflammation, In a paper addressed to the Academy of
Sciences, Dr Marce compares the qualities of pure brandy
to the poisonous ones contained in the compound called
absinthe, and finds that stupor, terrifying hallucinations,
and intellectual weakness predominate among the effects of
the latter. To ascertain whether these effects are peculiarly
to be ascribed to wormwood, from whence the above liquor
is distilled, Dr. Marce has instituted certain experiments,
from which it appears that essence of wormwood, taken in
doses of from two to three grammes, produces the symptoms
above described ; and that in higher doses it may even
occasion fits ; whence he concludes that nothing can be more
injurious than excess in the use of absinthe.—M, Chautard
has sent a paper to the Academy of Sciences on the pre-
sence of caproic acid in the flowers Of the Satyrium hircinum,
which emit a smell strongly resembling that of the he-goat.
The quantity of caproic acid obtained was very considerable.
The same chemist has distilled the flowers of OrMiscorio-
phora, the smell of which strongly reminds us of that of
the bug; the produce was acid, but not in sufficient quan-
tity to allow of its nature being determined.—M. Hugo
Schiff, in treating the red of analine by various alde-
hydes, has obtained two new series of nitrogenized sub-
stances, which he calls the ethylenic and ethylidentc series
of anilinio formations,
