WINTER KILLED The New England Far
nser says In recent drive of some seventy
miles, in the region of Boston, we have seen
more winter killed ornamental plants than
we have seen before in a lifetime.
In nearly all the beautifully, laid ost
grounds in the towns Of Cambridge Brighton,
Newton, Dorchester, Waltham, Belmont.
Arlington, and others, there is a wide spread
devastation, among what are called " ever
green " plants.
In looking for the cause of this general
devastation it adds We are inclined to
think that the two years drought which we
have Just passed through, has had more to
TO do with it than the frost has.
This view seems to be confirmed by the
opinion Of the editor Of the Gardener s
Monthly who says;
Scarcely anything in the way Of ever
greens indeed but what has been injured
whenever exposed to wind. There have how
ever, been no winds of extra severity this
winter. but there has been an unusual
absence Of moisture in the atmosphere, and
it is this dry wind which has done the dam

By this time, that death III the winter time

plant has the power to retain heat enough
to prevent the liquids from freezing, bur
these are evaporated faster than the partial
ly inactive roots can supply the waste. la
this last case the plant dries up just as it
would do under hot summer 5 sun. This
is the kind Of death which overtakes these
usually hardy things. The dry cold winds
draw out the moisture, and the most twiggy
branches perish

FIRES CAUSED BY Iron RUsT.-A possible
cause of fires is suggested BY Colonel Angus
Croll by the following hypothesis When
oxide Of iron Is placed in contact with timber,
excluded from the atmosphere, and aided by
a slightly increased temperature, the oxide
parts with its oxygen, and Is converted into
finely divided particles of metallic iron,
having such an affinity for oxygen that,
when afterward exposed to the action Of the
atmosphere from any cause, oxygen Is ab-
scrbed 50 rapidly that these PARTICLES he
come suddenly red-bot, and, if in sufficient
quantity. will produce temperature far
beyond the ignitable point of dry timber.
W hcnever iron pipes are employed for the
circulation Of any heated medium (whcthcr
hot water hot air, or stcam.) and when
ever these pipes are allowed To be-
come rusty, and are also IN close contact
with timber, it is only necessary to suppose
that under these circumstances the finely
divided particles Of metallic iron become ex-
posed to the action Of the atmosphere land
this may occur from the mere expansion or
contra stion Of the pipes,) in order TO account
for many OF the fires which periodically take
place at the commencement Of the winter
season.

A New Artificial Stone.

A recent number of the Boston Globe con-
tains notice of new artificial stone that
was a subject of discussion at the Institute
of Technology. The report says:
The inventor, Mr.. E. c. Merrill Of West
Charlestown, Vt, was present with large
number of specimens of the new article
The cement with which the material is mixed
is a combination of oxide and chloride of
zinc and carbonate Of baryta In the speci
mems exhibited, various materials had been
used, among others common salt, sawdust
puIverlzed marble. granite, brass filings.
common sand, etc. The strength of che diff.
ferent articles was tested by striking them
with hammer. The force required to brea /
articles made of different materials varied
considerably As well as could be indeed
the artificial granite and marble REQUIRED a.
heavy blow TO break them as natural Gran
lite or marble would, while the pieces formed
ofsawdust, brass filings, salt and sand were
only broken by very hard blows. An exami-
nation of the fragments in cases where the
particles used were coarse enough to be
readily seen, showed that the fracture was
