Preserving Grain in Rarefisd Air

The following is the report of a com
mittee of the French Academy on this
subject: The apparatus made by NJ,
Louvel for carrying out his process con-
sists simply of one or more sheet-iron
cylinders, each provided with man
hole on the top for the introduction of
the grain, and hopper below, through
which it can be discharged. A partial
vacuum having been made within the
cylinder, by means of an air pump, it
was found that this could be practically
maintained during six months or more
All the insects which attack grain, and
particularly the weevil, were quickly de-
stroyed by the rarefed air of the cylin-
der The grain was perfectly well pre-
served during the six months devoted to
the experiments of the committee.

vALIsHERIA.
(Jean Paul Ritcher tells Of a flower called
yalisneria, the female Of which lies rolled up
under the water, out Of which 1t lifts Its bud to
bloom in the open air; the male then loosens
itself from the too short stalk. and swims to
her with its dry blossom dust.l
All living things.
In earth or air,
In perfect faith
Twin beings wear;
Links of loving all through living,
The outer world, the inner giving;
And wheresoe'er thy heart shall be,
Mine shall find its way to thee.
Valisneria!
The surgihg sea
Sweeps grandly on,
One vital heart
One monotone,
Gliding, chanting, chasing, cooling.
So the tide, the tide Is wooing.
Just Us the pillows meet and roll,
Into thy soul would melt my soul,
Valisnerial
Fen light and life
But co-exist;
There were no clouds,
Were there no mist;
Changeful WINDS with Kisses burning,
Dreams made up of tender yearning;
Just as the flower drinks the dew,
So would my soul come to you,
Valisnerial
There's one blossom
Born ofthe sea,
Has human love,
Like mine for thee;
Growing beside a lily bride,
Where flows between a deep. deep tide,
1t parts the stem in passionate pining,
A life for that new life resigning,
Valisneriai
SO name thee
After the flower,
A pearl, lily.
With woman's dover;
Like its mate to thee outstretching.
Sc would thy heart love be teaching;
List the winds the waves are wooing,
Are human loves the less pursuing.
Valsneria
In sweet cares
OF wave to shore,
The sea returns
The love of yore;
Kissing the feet Of earth they greet
As come those waves with throb ana beat,
Shall come my spirit at loves behest,
Till one pulse thrill the double breast,
