Chloride of Lime for Vermin.

SOME years ago, 1 read, in French
scientific periodical, that chloride of lime
would rid a house of all these nuisances.
l treasured up the information, and some
four years since l took an old country
house infested with rats, mice and flies. l
stuffed every rat and mouse-hole with the
chloride; threw it on the quarry floors of
dairy and cellars; / kept saucers of it I'M
der the chest of drawers, or some other
convenient piece of furniture, and in every
nursery, bed, or dressing room An orna-
mental glass vase held a quantity at the
foot of the stair-cases. Stables, cOw-sheds,
pig-sties, all had their dose, and the result
was glorious. thoroughly routed my
enemies, and if the rats, more impudent
than all the rest, did make renewed attacks
upon the dairy in about twelve months,
when probably from repeated cleansing all
traces of the chloride had vanished, a
handful of fresh again routed them and
left me master of my premises. Last year
was great one for wasps; they wouldn't
face the chloride; though, in the dining
room, in which we had none-as it's smell,
to me most refreshing and wholesome, is
not approved by all persons-we had a
perpetual warfare. And all this comfort
for eight-pence! Only let housekeepers
beware that they place not the chloride in
their china pantries, or in too close prox-
unity to bright steel wares, or the result
will be that their gilded china will be re-
duced to plain, and their bright steel fen
ders to rusty iron in quick time.-Cor.

line the position of which can be in
dicated. This is, we believe, the general
theory with those who entertain one, that it
is but a general,d distinction like the discrim-
nation between upper and lower portions
of our atmosphere, the one merging
into the other by imperceptible grada-
ton, and the selfluminosity ceasing only
when the density becomes too small to adj
NIT of that intensity of vibration which is
supposed necessary to originate the sensa-
ton of light.
This may be so, but it seems quite as
probable that the suns condition is similar,
in respect to form, with that of the earth
before the continents were upheaved by
volcanic force. Then the ocean covered
the land, and was itself surrounded by an
outer atmosphere of air, the two oceans,
then as now, not only balancing each
other, but being mutually necessary to the
integrity of character pertaining to EACH
Of course it is not necessary that the
photosphere should be composed of any
thing like what we call water, and indeed
we have no particular reason to believe
that oxygen, the chief constituent of
water, is present at all. But it is neces-
sarily a somewhat dense fluid, and is
probably in state of more intense motion
than any intermOvement of particles of
which we have any knowledge. There is
no doubt that this fluid is also intensely hot,
but that is probably not result of combus-
tiOn,and is more consequence of its rapid
motion than a necessary condition of heat
in the solar rays. So far as we know,
light and heat are phenomenal Only-mere
conditions, not material entities-and these
sensations are communicated only by the
intermediate vibrations of material parti-
Giles. 1t is always cold on the tops of high
mountains, though there be level enough
to admit of large amount of earth radi-
alton, and we must conclude that the differ
ence is principally due to a lessened density
of the atmosphere, which presents fewer
particles to be vibrated in the passage of
the solar rays; hence less of motion;
hence less of the sensation of heat. The
suns rays are warm and light to us only
because they vibrate through certain
media. Take away those media, and the
sensation is absent.
We have every reason to believe that
the earth and moon have existed under
somewhat similar conditions to those now
witnessed in the sun, with this probable
difference that the earth has a compare
tive excess of oxygen, and the sun of
hydrogen, while the moon is deficient of
both of those elements. To this difference
we may perhaps look for consolation
against the fear that the sun will be burned
out ultimately, and leave our posterity a
thousand generations hence to die out of
cold. The above view is perfectly consist
ent, too, with the idea that the sun may be
fit residence for animated beings, organ
lied in adaptation to the situation, and en-
ables us to drop the difficulty which meets
us in the attempt to conceive of an eter-
nally selfsustaining confagration.

Then followed visit to Great Scotland
Yard, and to Moore's, to find that Mr. and
Mrs, Ross had not returned; while so i'm
pressed was the manager with his visitors
responsibility, that he laughed at the idea
of there having been any swindling trans
action. They were most respectable peo-
pie, he said paid their bills last time with
out murmur: their pOrtmanteaus and
boxes up stairs were all in their rooms !;
and it was all a mistake,-"or something
worse" he added, with dark look at me
That it was something worse" was
very soon evident from the tubes and bot
ties, and a wine-glass containing few
drops of a limpid fluid, found to corrobo-
rate my story. But though the instru-
ments of the deception, even to a couple
of respirators, lined with wet sponge, were
found, the depredators had made their es-
cape, and were never found though 1

lady-swindlers in the various police courts,

need hardly add, that after so heavy a
loss, the firm never seemed to take thor
oughly to heart the idea of junior part

all, cannot see that was much to blame,

rect manner of fling the edge of the lips.
The very edge of the lips should always
be a little more prominent than the
portion back of the cutting edge. In order
to make an auger or bit draw itself into
the wood without any pressure, procure
small, three square file, file up the screw
then touch up the cutting edge Of the lips,
and exercise care that the under side OF
the very edge of the lips is not filed away
to such an extent that it cannot take hold
of the wood beneath it-HartA and Home.
FOREIGN SUBSTANCES IN THE EYE.-A
writer in the Hearth and Home says: at
is of great importance to remove such sub
stances as speedily as possible, and as, in
nearly every instance, such cases arise
when no one is with us, give the rail-
readers remedy for cinder. The railroad
man, when any cinder becomes lodged in
his eye, takes hold::of the lashes of the. up
per lid and draws it out, at the same time
closing the eye, then, by letting the upper
lid go, it falls over the lower lid, when,
upon opening the eye, the cinder will lodge
upon the outside of the lower lid, and can
be wiped off with kerchief or hand. All
this can be done by a person himself even
if he has but one hand"
SLUGs.-"T The only efectual way" says
the London Gardeners Magazine, Ito rid
yourselves of slugs will be to gather them
with the hand and drop them into pot of
hot lime. All the lining in the world will
not keep them off the plants, for the lime
soon gets dead after its exposure to the
open air. Lay a few cabbage or lettuce
leaves about where they most frequent,
and go over them early in the morning
and pick the slugs up. 1t will also be well
to examine the beds of young lettuce, ETC.,
late in the evening or early in the morn
ing, also in showery weather, for these are
the times when they commit their princi-
pal depredations, and can therefore be
more readily caught. We are aware that
it is slow and tedious affair, but it must
either be done or the crops left to be de-
stroyed before your face"

The TOTAL ECLIPSE.
The Sun-A Sight Of His Glory during
the Eclipse-The Corona and Protu.
berances; Their Size and Character
Theory Of the Solar Constitution.

E. COLBERT, author of 4" Astronomy
without Telescope" and Commercial
Editor of the Chicago Tribune, was mem.
Der of the scientific party at Des Moines,
Iowa, on the occasion of the recent solar
eclipse, and the following descriptive
article, taken from the columns of the
Tribune of the 18th inst, is from his pen:
The eclipse of the sun on Saturday last
was visible over all the United States and
Territories, but view of the magnificent
corona which surrounded the sun was visi-
bic only to those who were located on the
narrow belt of 1854 miles in breadth which
was swept by the moons shadow. The
light of the sun is so powerful and so
overshadowing as to shut out the coronal
display to those situated only few yards
outside the limits of totality, though they
could discern but the merest thread of sun
light at the moment of greatest cbscura-
ton.
For the information of those who were
not privileged to witness the phenomenon
by reason of location, as wellas of those who
only saw it with the naked eye within the
band of totality, we herewith present a
