Starch Factories in Vermont,

Each of the towns in the Missisquoi
Valley, in Northern Vermont, has one
or more starch factories, which run
only in the Fall It is at these places
the farmers dispose Of their potatoes,
getting cash ,or starch for their lay
if 20 cents is the price, then only 1
lbs. of starch only is paid per bushel,
but if it is Is cents, then lbs. per
bushel is given. There il j., a yield Of
from 8 to Q lbs. of starch from each
busi1e', ofpotatoes, which, considering
it costs only about l cent per pound to
make gives a good margin OF profit
The factories arc situated on some Of
the numerous mountain streams, and
the power costs only the first expense Of
a short dam, turbine wheel and some
simple machinery to drive graters, &c.
The potatoes, after being reduced to y
pulp, arc strained, the starclly parti-
c:cs being allowed to pass through into
u large tub, where they arc prccipitatr,!.
The water is then drawn of, an | the
sediment or starch, after thorough
washing, isl put into kiln and dried.
1t is then barrcllcd up.

White Man Turning Black.


The following will be regarded one
OF the most eccentric freaks of nature,
if it be a freak at ALL A gentleman
about twenty-five Years of age, ruldy
complexion, and curly red hair, who
had au intr:lct;sble and painful ulcer Oh
the left urn, resisting all previous
modes OF treatment, yielded to the re-
quest Of trying the effect Of transplant
ing piece of skin to the ulcer from
mother person. The ulcer was prepar-
ed in the usual manner by his physic-
ian, and a bit of skin about an inch
square was taken from the arm of a
fine healthy negro man, and immel,-
atcly spread over the ugly ulcer, ;inh
then carefully dressed and bandaged.
The skin trans plantation had the desir-
ed effect, healthy granulation springing
up, the unsightly ulcer soon healed A
physician and told him that ever since
the sore healed the black skin COM
mencedt to spread, and it was increasing.
About one-third of his arm was com
pletely nesroed. The doctor himself
is alarmed. The high probability is
that the whole skin of this white man
will become negro. This is new thing
under the sun. It would he rather diff
ticult.to explain the physiological pro-
cess which takes place to bring about
such skin change as this The prob
lem is, how can the coloring matter Of
the skin be so radically changed? and
how is this pigment change propagatcd
1t is certain that the law Of capillary at
traction plays no insignificant part in
the spreading process. Grating pears
on an apple tree has communicated to
the apples pear taste.

Distilled Wafer.

Distilled water, the purest state Of
water, may be readily obtained by fix
ing a curved tin tube, three or four
feet long, to the spout Of a teukcttle,
and conducting its free end into u jar
placed in basin OF cold water, and Gu
velopcd with wet towel The softer
the water is the better solvent it is of
all soluble animal and vegetable sub
stances; thus, distilled water being
free from all foreign ingredients, is nee
essarily the softest OF all water, and con-
sequently it is we'll adapted not only
for diluting in febrile affections, but
for pervading the minutcst vessels and
improving Acknowledgements. Dis
titled water is mawkish to the taste;
this is easily corrected by pouring it
from one Jug to another successfully
for ten or fifteen minutes, SO as to in
volyc in IL quantity of atmospheric air.

4 l.tl,i;crOuS Mistake,

A Sacramento lady found herself
under suspicion of larceny the other
day under rather peculiar circumstance
cs. She was riding in q crowded rail-
way car and occupied q scat with an
other lady passenger. Like great
many other women of the present day,
she wore curls--her own hair, of course,
but it wasn't fastened on strictly &C
cording to natures programme. By
andby, as the train jolted along, SHE
felt something falling about her face
and neck, and IN second it flashed
across her brain that her curls had be.
com" dctached! The prcdicament was
shocking one, but she endeavorcd to
save herself as much as possible by
quietly passing the capillary ornaments
into her pocket, thanking her stars that
she was almost at her destination. At
the station she hastcnr:l to the dressing
room to repair damages to her toilet,
when behold! the mirror reflected
back the fact that her curls were in
their proper position, and an cx:lmin-
alton Of thos" in her pocket showed
that they were not hers, but of differ
ent color, ard belonging to the lady
who sat by her side in the car.

Needle Making.

There is a needle factory in New Hal
ven where the whole process is done by
IL single machine, without the manual
labor of any person. A coil of steel
wire is put in; the machine cut it off
at the required lengths it cuts the
steel pieces consccutivrly, punches the
cyc-holcs, countcr-slnks the eyes, and
grin,ls the points and in fact, pocs
everything until the needles drop out
completely formed. Another machine
picks them up and urr,ngcs then heads
and points together, and u third piece
of mechanism put them into paper. -
One of these machines occupies no more
spaces than an ordinary table, and each
OF them turns out from 30, 600 to 40, 600
needles a day. Most of the needles
were imported from England, until Il
few years past.
