The distribution of carbolic acid
throughout the air of the room in which
patients are treated, so as to create what
is known as n carbolyzed atmosphere,
has been found to be productive of great
benefit, in India and Egypt, in the treat
ment of such diseases as opthalmia and
Variola.
DIR. Ha1ford, Professor of Anatomy in
Melbourne University, believes that he
has found an antidote to he bites of poi

Experiments with dogs, rabbits, fowls
and men have proved very successful.
1t is said that kerosene, applied by
means of a moistened cloth to stoves will
effectually keep them from rusting dur

about the farm. Give plows, cultivators
and the like a coating before they are put
away in the fall.

them until they mix as thoroughly as
possible. The pieces cemented hould be
tied together for two or three days.
FRosTING GLAss.-There are two pro-
cesses: One is to paint h parts re-
quired bright with varnish. Brunswick
black has been found to answer well, and
then pour on fuoric acid and water, let it
stand till ii has eaten the required denth.
The other is to paint the frosted parts
with thin Varnish, and dust on some
powdered glass, and pass through the
furnace, giving sufficient heat to stick it
but not fuse it.

place, shut all the doors of the apartment
so as to'prevent any current of the air
up the chimney, and throw a few hand
fuls of common salt upon the fire, which
will Immediately eXtinguish the same.
The philosophy of this is, that in the
process of burning the salt, muriatic acid
gas is evolved, which is Il prompt extin-
guisher of fire.
THE SPoNGE.-Although the sponge is
in universal use, and has been for hun
dreds of years, yet few, very few, per
sons are aware of its, origin-thaJ it is
nothing more than the skeleton of an in
Vulnerable family of low forms of ami
mulcul@. In order to prepare it for use,
it is first left in the air for a short time,
until the gelatinous part is decomposed;
then the mass is washed in hot water,
and afterward in a bath of dilute muri-
attic acid. The toilet SpongeS are bleached
by means of chlorine and hypoSulphate
of soda. The so-called WaX-sponges that
are used by doctors for dressing ulcers
are purified sponges dipped into fluid
wax, and then pressed batween hot plates.
The French and Austrian governments
have lately commenced to rear sponges !
artificially-the former on the shores of
he Mediterranean, the latter on the coast
Of Dalmatia. The cultivation is said to
perfectly successful, and to yield large !
