SALINEs IN ONoNDAGA.-Ihe State Superlnten-
dent Of the Sanes of Onondaga, in letter of No
vember Goth, says: ''We have manufactured this
year very near five million bushels of salt already,
and shall exceed that figure somewhat at the close
of the year, say 300 900 bushels last year.
(The bushel is reckoned at 90 lbs) In regard to
the consumption of fuel, l cannot say much that
ill be new to you. No improvement has been
made, perhaps, since you were here
The importance of these Salines may be inferred
from the fact, that in the year 1886 the whole inn
port of salt into the ports of the United States
amounted to 50SS, 500 bushels of So lbs. each, be-
ing but trifie than this years production of
the Salncs of Onondaga.
My correspondent, in speaking of the use of An
thracite COAL fuel for making salt, says, the
experiment has not been successful, and that the
gentleman who made the trial has since substituted
wood for coal and he adds, some thing, however,
is certain, he makes more salt per day with wood,
than he did with coal.' Heretofore cord Of
wood was used in making forty bushels of salt.
At that rate 1875 900 cords of wood required for
the evaporation of brine for 5000, 900 bushels of
salt. About forty gallons Of brine make a bushcl
of SALT therefore requiring two hundred millions of
gallons of brine TO be raised from the wells to pro-
duce the quantity. By the Salometer, the brine
tests about 1910 being the mark for fresh water,
and 100 for brine of full saturation.
From very minute and extensive examinations
of the Salines of Onondaga, and from my own ex-
pcrience in the evaporation of fluids by heat, my
opinion is clear that 25 900 cords of wood may be
made to do the work heretofore performed by

SILK woRMs.-Anong the memoirs submitted to
vember, the correspondent of the New York Journal
of Commerce cites M. Guerin- Mennevilc's "Studies
on the Diseases of Silk worms"-a subject which
will hereafter be of considerable consequence in
the United States. The author commences in these
terms
'EThis year my researches on silk worms dis
eased and healthy, have led me to the observation of
exceedingly curious facts, under scien tiic and ag
ricultural points of view. believe that have wit
messed the transformation of the living elementary
animal substance, into vegetable for, have seen
certain corpuscules forming the living and internal
portion of the globues of the blood Of the silk
become the roots of Botrys baSsiana, of that infe
rior vegetable which constitutes the disease known
by the name of muscardine The history of these
phenomena would appear improbable, if we were
not already acquainted with something analogous
in nature but the fine discoveries of M. Decaisne,
relative to the animated gobules which escape from
certain tticus (an extensive genus of cryptogamic
plants) and which he has designated by the name

ulty possessed by the Endockrames g,lomic sub
stance of the elementary cellues of certain plants,
to move like anmals-and the history of those very
singular vegetables, the Protoccus, of Mr.. Mon
tagne, which enjoy either animal vegetable life
at different periods of their lives, show that the
phenomena which / have observed no longer
miraculous, and that analogies for them exist anon
the lower vegetables.
The general conclusion Of M. Menncville, from
his studes is, that it may be ascertained, no incon
siderable time beforehand, from nice examination
of the blood of worms, whether they be in good
health, or sick.
