How THE JAPANESE RESTORE FADED Flow
ERs.-After a bouquet is dropping beyond
all remedies of fresh water, the Japanese
can bring it back to all its first glory by a
simple and seemingly most destructive op-
Grafton. A writer at Nagasaki says: 81 had
received some days ago delightful bunch
of, flowers from a Japanese acquaintance.-
They continued to live in their beauty for
nearly two weeks, when st last they faded.
Just as was about to have them thrown
away, the same gentleman, Japanese gen.
tleman, came to gee me. showed him the
faded flowers, and told him that though
lasting long, time they had now become
useless. "Oh, no." said he, "only put the
ends of the stems into the fire, and they will
be as good as b"fore." | was incredulous;
so he took them himself and held the stems
ends in the fire until they were completely
charred This was in the morning; at even
ing they were again looking fresh and vigor
Gus, and have continued so for another week.
What may be the true agent in this revi-
wing process, am unable to determine full
ly: whether it be heat driving once more the
last juices into the very leahet and vein, or
whether it be the bountiful supply of carbon
furnished by the charring. | am inclined
however, to the latter cause. as the full eff
feet was not produced until some eight hours
afterwards. and as it seems that if the heat
was the principal agent, it must have been
sooner followed by visible changes"

MISCELLANEOUS READING.
WAR TERMS.

The Columbiad or Paixhan-pronounce
pay-zan-ls a large gun, designed princi-
pally for firing shells, it being far more ac-
curate than the ordinary short mortar.
A mortar is very short cannon, with g.
large bore, some of them thirteen inches in
diameter, for firing shells. Those in use in
our army are set at an angle of forty-tive
degrees, and the range of the she'll is var
led by altering the charge of powder.
A Dahlgreu gun is an ordinary cam on,
except that it is made very thick at the
breech for some three or four feet, when it
tapers down sharply to less than usual size.
This form was adopted in consequence of
the experiments of Capt Dahlgren. of the U.
U. Navy, having shown that when a gun
bursts, it usually gives away at the breech.
The Niagara is armed with these guns,
and at the Brooklyn navy yard there are
sixty, weighing about 5000 pounds each,
and six of $4,000 weight each, the former
of which are capable of carrying nine inch,
and the latter a ten inch she'll distance Of
two or three miles, and there is one gun of this
pattern which weighs 1876 pounds, and is
warranted to send inch she'll four miles.
A easement is stone roof to a fort made
sufficiently thick to resist the force of can
non balls, and a easement gun is one which
is placed under easement.
A barDette gun is one which is placed on
the top of the ratification.
An embrasure is the hole or opening
through which guns are fred from fortifca-
tions.
Loop holes are openings in walls to fire
musketry throu oh

g@F= The New York Chamber of Com
merce has instituted a thorough scrutiny to
ascertain the progress made in the various
inventions for substituting the fibre of fax
for that of cotton. The inquiry is deeply
interesting, not alone 10 its highest pOliti-
cal aspects, in settling the course of foreign
nations in compelling this country to sub
NIT to their demands for breaking the
blockade of Southern ports. It deeply con-
Germs the land owners of our vast interior
regions possessing the necessary soil for a
cheap and abundant supply of fax. The
product of every million of bales Of fax
fibre would animate not only our manufac-
turing industry, but would largely swell all
our channels of commerce.
