fifteen or twenty years Newburyport has
had an incendiary. Four churches and
smaller structures unnumbercd. have pc
rished by his destroying hand. He takes a
pride in his work, and in the system and
secresy with which he does it. Every fire
of the long series has been set by the mys-
terious man himself, is in each instance,
filled with kerosene oil, saturated kindling
wood, and other highly inhammable sub
stances. A candle end is placed in this, and
80 lighted that in few minutes the whole
will be in flames. Year after year, at ire
gular intervals, this little contrivance is
employed in the work OF destruction which
this man is bent upon. After every con-
quered fire, this little box is found where
the confagration began; yet in all this time
the man who makes the boxes, who carries
them about and fires them, has successfully
defied all agencies of discovery.

California claims credit balance in a
a comparison of deaths from violent natural
causes, between the Atlantic States and the
Pacific coast. Within twenty years expe-
rience has proven that the earthquake is the
only serions danger attending life and pro-
perty in California. During that time it has
claimed five victims, and $1,000, 600,
one-quarter of one life, and $50, 1000 a
year. After limiting at prospect of earth
quakes for us also, San Francisco editor
charges three importaet items to our ac-
count-lightning, stroke and freezing
Neither of these three sources of death nre
known, he says, in California In the
calm, bene6cent air of California, the
thunder storm has no place, and neither
life or property is ever destroyed by it..
Sun-stroke claimed some thousands of
victims here during the past year Cali
fornia has nothing to offset against it. And
every victim reported 'frozen to death" in
the Atlantic States during the terrible Win
ter of 1868, might have slept comfortably
in the open air in California every night Of
that season.

Preparing Seed Corn.

A few years ago DIR. Chamberlain,
of Bureau county, H., made some
practical experiments with chloride Of
lime as steep for seed corn. In his
Office he placed four boxes filled with
good soil. sso Or a.
In the first was corn planted without
soaking = in the second, the corn was
soaked inwarl water before planting;
In the third, the seed corn had been
soaked ia solution of chloride OF
lime; in the fourth, the seed had been
soaked in a solution of chloride OF lime
and copperas, in equal parts. All the
seeds were planted at the same time
in the same quality of soil and taken
from thesame ear and all the boxes
had equal share of heat and light,
neither allowed any advantages over
the other. Now for the result
When the blades of the corn, the seed
of which had been soaked in chloride
of lime and copperas, were nearly
three inches above the ground, that
which was soaked with the chloride
of lime only was just peeping from the
ground, and that which was soaked
simply in warm water had just begun
to germinate, while that planted with
oat soaking had not commenced ger
minating at all.
This experiment would seem to
show gain n-of two weeks time by
soaking grain in the above solution.
And when we reflect that delay of
two weeks time frequently places the
corn crop in the Fall within reach OF
frost, this becomes a matter of no or
binary moment. Besides, the Fastening
of the time for the blades to be out of
the ground enables the cultivator to
be set to work earlier and before weeds
have got SO great start. DIR. Cham
berlain states that one pound of
chloride of lime and one pound of
copperas in water will soak enough
seed for twenty acres. As the cost
would not be over forty or fifty cents,
every farmer can afford to make the
experiment.
A correspondent Of the n ew Hamp-
shire Journal of agriculture says that
in the evening he took half a pint of
corn and mixed it with halt that
quantity of SCOT, with water enough to
moisten it. Next he took half pint
of corn and put il in an equal amount
of water. In the morning he took
another half pint of corn and an equal
amount of water, letting it stand one
hour. The three samples of prepared
seed corn were then dropped and
covered as near alike as possible. The
result was as follows: That which
was planted with SCOT came up three
days before that which was soaked
the same length of time without SCOT,
and four days before that which was
soaked one hour. After the second
hoeing the difference in color, as well
as height, could be told fifty rods
distant. That which was planted with
SCOT was of dark green color, and the
other was of lighter hue. In the fall
the corn that had been planted with
SCOT was ready to harvest two weeks
earlier than the other, but did not
produce any more or better looking
ears than the other. The effect OF the |
ammonia in SCOT was to benefit the
foliage and structure of the plant
But to benefit and increase the grain,
phosphates seem to be the thing re-
quired.
