VACCINATION.

Vaccination, now generally prac-
tised 0s protection against terrible
disease-was discovered almost by
accident. Previous to the year l796.
inoculation was the only known
method of diminishing the danger
attendant ON smallpox; for it was
believed that all must have the
disease in some way. DIR. Edward
Jenner, inoculating his patients for
smallpox, found that many did not
take it. Inquiries among the coun-
try people developed q common be-
lief among them that those whose
business it was to milk cows were
seldom afflicted with the disease /;
and further investigation proved
that incubation did not take effect
in those who had accidentally taken
'cow-pox." JenneF followed up the
idea thus suggested by experiments |;
but his belief that vnccinnation-
from the cow in the first place, and
then from one person TO another
would protect against the smallpox,
was ridiculed as an absurdIty for
sixteen years. He perseYered, how
ever, and in 1886 Vaccinated 9 boy
eight years old with matter taken
from q milkmaid's hand. The child
recovered satisfactorily, but was
Immediately inoculated for small
pox, but without the slightest effect.
Jenner's discovery then became
widely known and practiced.
Although medical opinions vary
somewhat in regard to this subject
it is pretty generally agreed that If
the protection afforded by Vaccina-
ton is not perfect, it is superior to
any other known that although the
operation once performed often
fails to give security, yet 1t generally
modifies the disease, rendering it
comparatively mild and safe; and
many physicians are of the opinion
that if the virus is thoroughly in
serted until it ceases to effect the
system, the person is protected for
all tina as effectually as he would
be by an attack of the smallpox.

PROPER KIND OF WATER FOR WASH
ING WOOL.

Professor Trommer, OF the Agri-
cultural Academy, in Eldena, in
reference to the Importance OF the
quality and chemical composition OF
the water used for washing the
wool of sheep, whether before or
after shearing, calls attention to the
fact that the matter to be removed
by washing is quite complex, and
consists, in the main, of the nom
volatile portion of the sweat, the
grease of the wool, abrasions of the
epidermis, the dust from the sur
rOundings and dirt from the excre-
tons of the animal. 1t has no al
kaline re-action from the prevalence
of potassium either In the form of
carbonate or in its combination
with grease as q kind Of soap. Pure
water readily dissolyes these potash
compounds, and the resulting solu-
ton is in itself q very good wash
but when the water contains lime, q
decomposition takes place, and in.
soluble compounds of lime (either
carbonate or soap of lime) precipi-
tate upon the wool and are remov-
ed with the greatest difficulty.
Hence the necessity of avoiding
caleareous water. Professor from
mer mentions an easy way to detect
the presence of lime, viz q solution
of soap in alcohol, when poured into
q tumbler of water, will make it
turbid whenever it contains
salts of lime, while pure water re-
mains clear for some time. When,
however, necessity compels US to |
the hard water, the addition of |
some alkaIi Is recommended, which /
shall precipitate the lime in solution
as insoluble carbonate. Caustic !
soda is the cheapest for that pur- |
pose. The author enumerates some
Of the advantages arising from the
of wool after being shorn,

Ter necessary for the operation be-

With less expense, and its tempera-
ure made exactly suitable. Above

The Boomerang.

A boomerang was recently exhibited
in the California Academy of Sciences,
obtained from the Indians of San Iago
canon, Les Angeles county, Cal. The
weapon is described as beng used by
the Indians of that locality in precisely
the same way as that in which it is
used by the nations of Australia. It's
use, however, among the Indians of
California is rare, although mention is
made of the boomerang as weapon of
warfare among them in the old records
of Los Angeles
