Comets and Their Fails,

In discussing these erratic bodies Prof.
Zollner starts with the fact that fluids
as water, mercury, and solids, of nearly
all kinds, give off vapor of low tension,
though in too small quantity to
be recognized by any tests with
which we are at present acquainted. 1t
therefore follows that the masses of
matter scattered throughout space are
ultimately surrounded with an atmos-
phere of their own vapor. If the vol
ume of such masses is too small to ex-
ert sufficient attractive force to retain
this vapor, the whole mass ultimately
assumes the vaporous state. Prof.
Zollner thinks that many of the small
comets are such masses OF vapOr, while
others are fluid, consisting of water or
perhaps of liquid hydrocarbons, an idea
which is fortified by the character of the
spectra of certain nebuln as well as Of
some of the smaller comets.
Regarding the self.luminosity of COM
cts and the formation of their trains,
Prof. Zollner says, there are but two
causes which can produce the first of
these results, VIZ, elevation of tempera-
ture and electric action. Setting the
first aaide as being utterly inadequate
under the circumstances, the author
thinks that the electricity developed by
the solar rays, either in the process OF
evaporation or by the mechanical and
molecular disturbances they produce,
is amply sufficient to cause the lumin,
osity and also to form the train. The
explanation here given of the formation
of the tails or trains of comets is ex
ceedingly ingenious, for it not only ap
plies in those instances in which the
train is directed from the sun, acting
under these circumstances by repulsion
but it also accounts for the fact that il
some instances the tail is directed to
ward the sun, there being under thes'
circumstances electrical attraction in
stead of repulsion.-.ScriJner's fpr Augus

Money from Mutton.

The great secret of success in tie
winter fattening and management OF
sheep is to attend to them yourself. A
hired man, who feeds at a given hour
every day, and in accustomed order
who will exercise q little judgment as to
the amount required-feeding a little
more grain and hay during cold
stormy day than warm one who will
SEQ that the sheep never want for water
and that thy never have to drink
water that is reduced to freezing point
by snow and ice, but who will, on the
contrary, pump them fresh water three
or four times day, and always at a
tlxed hour a man who knows how to
fodder the sheep in such way that
they are tempted to eat as much as they
can possibly digest, without leaving any
to get stale in the racks; a man who
will litter the sheds and yards two
or three times day, doing it with ,judg-
ment, and never allowing any part to
get dirty, but having all the time nice
clean bed for the sheep to lie on !; man
who will do this, and who has quick
eye to detect the symptoms of disease
and lamenes5, want of appetite, de-
rangement of the stomach and bowels,
nervous restlessness, ETC.; a man that
can tell from the eyes and ears and gen.
eral aspect that q sheep is not doing
well, and who has promptness and en-.
ergy to separate that sheep at once from
the flock and give it the requisite atten-
ton; a man, say, who will do all this,
is u treasure indeed. / never hope to
find such a man ready-made. Possibly
by taking a bright, intelligent boy that
is willing to learn, you can educate him
up to it.
This is the real reason why so few of
our breeders of improved stock ever
attain eminent success. They are gen.
orally men of wealth who do not attend
personally to their stock They pay
large prices for the best animals, but
cannot get them properly attended to.
Taking this view of the matter, does it
not seem pity that intelligent farmers,
who take care of their own animals,
should waste their time in attending
poor stock? When we think how diff
cult it is to hire this kind of care, judg-
ment and attention, it would seem that
a farmer could raise much better ami
mails than those breeders that leave
their stock to the care of men not per
sonally interested in them.-Joseph
Harris, in american Agriculturist.

At the Michigan Agricultural College
in 1868 two plots of land We're set apart,
substantially equal in character of soil,
each measuring forty eight rods in
width. The ground was plowed May
5th, and manure was spread evenly and
worked in by the elevator and harrow.
Yellow Dent corn was planted May 2l,
in rows four feet apart one of the plots
being planted in hills, the other in
drills. The plots were cultivated and
hoed June Is and again July = the
plants being thinned SO as so leave the
same number of stalks on each plot, in
Guiding an equal distribution OF plants
throughout the subdivision of the plots
As nearly as possible, each of the two
plots received the same amount OF labor
in cultivation. The stalks were cut at
the bottom September II, and stocked
in good order; three weeks afterward
the corn was husked and weighed. The
stalks then again carefully stocked, and
were hauled and weighed, in good con-
dition, October l2. The corn on the
portion planted in hills was better in
quality than on that planted in drills.
But the drilled portion produced IA l-6
bushels of shelled corn and three tons
of stalks to the acre, against 655 bushels
of shelled corn and . 2-3 tons of stalks
per acre produced by the portion in
hills

ers of law as well as medicine, because
it unearths the subtlciies of crime in
ways peculiar to that country, but
which will undoubtedly be introduced
wherever rogucs and assassins exist.
such are the facilities of intercourse in
our time
TO conceal horrible crime, the ma
tives kill calf and sprinkle the blood
freely, to lead to the suppostion that
no wrong has been done, when perhaps
the dead bodies of one or two murdered
human beings are buried near by. He
relates that a boy persuaded com.
panlon to 90 bathing, Purposely to MUIR
der him-so alleged-and solely on cir
cumstantial evidence he was publicly
executed. Soon after, the supposed
victim made his appearance, alive and
well.
TO crafty a diabolical spirit of re.
venge, those Bengalesc will seize poor
helpless cripples in the darkness of the
night, murder them, and then place the
body at the door of the enemy they
wish to have involved in trouble. In
word, the extraordinary acts of those
yellow skinned people in the commits.
sion of crimes, and their ingenuity in
puzzling tribunals, absolutely amount to
new catalogue of wonders.

A Hard Time for Some Of Us.

| should like to live in community
where every mans face would represent
his idea of himself. Even as it is, there
is not q countenance in the wide world
so homely that its owner does not find
in it grace unseen by others. 1t is
this consciousness of at least an ap.
proach toward the beloved ideal that
makes ugly folks quite as much given
to throwing sleeps eyes at themselves
in mirrors as handsome people are.
Photographic albums abundantly re-
cord this pathetic striving after ideals
shown in every case where the artist has
not posed and retouched subject ard
negative out Of all individuality and ex-
preston.
But lit is not merely at the photograph
er's that people endeavor to impress
upon others their own conception OF
themselves. We go through life trying
to do it. And oh, what hard time
some of us have! Think of man with
a brain that feels broad and towering
and narrowing forehead, at an angle
of forty-five degrees; imagine another
with a Wellington heart and turn-ul
nose, or girl whose idea of herself il
something like Mrs. Browning, and wh'
stands six feet in her stockings.

Compost Heaps.

1t is often recommended that when
manure is thrown into heaps in the
field, it should be covered with a layer
Of earth to prevent the escape of the
ammonia. The experiments of Dr.
Voelcker, at the .ioyal Agricultural
College at Cirencester, in England, have
established the fact that the evapora-
ton of ammonia from large heaps of
manure goes on slightly; for the reason
that during the decomposition of the
manure certain organic acids are formed
at the same time the ammonia is
evolved, and then Immediately unite
with the ammonia, forming non-volatile
compounds. There is an active escape
of ammonia from the interior of large
heaps, where the heat is too great for
the chemical changes above referred to ;
but as it approaches the exterior part of
the heap, where the heat is very much
less, the ammonia is completely taken
up by the organic acids and retained.
There will be but a tritling escape of
ammonia while there is sufficient mois.
ture to retain it, for water absorbs and
retains many hundred times its bulk of
ammonia gas at ordinary temperatures.
These non-volatile compounds, from
being highly soluble in water, are liable
to be washed away at every rain-storm,
giving the well known color to the
DRAWINGS of manure heaps.

The Dogs, Home.

Some years ago number of benevo-
lent Londoners, whose hearts had been
lacerated by the sight of miserable dogs
crawling and crouching in half-starved
condition about the town, formed them
selves into a society for the purpose of
erecting Home for Lost and Stray
Dogs" This institution has really
proved quite boon, not only to the dogs
but to the public, who have supported
it so literally that new home" has
lately been erected, which maintains an
average of POO dogs. The rule Of the
establishment is that all dogs brought
to the home and not sold or claimed
within three days are to be sold or de-
stroyed yet the number is kept up,
and nearly all the dogs are brought by
the police. The kennel is in compart.
ments well ventilated and Washed down.
An effort is made to classify the dogs,
but many are such mongrels that no
class or breed can be ASST gned them.

A Minnesota Curiosity.

A Minnesota wood-chopper hewed
down a tall tree the other day, and upon
splitting up the trunk with an AK and
wedge, found imbedded in the wood, at
the point where the trunk diverged in
to branches, a leather bride of antique
pattern, with bit and buckles attached,
and all in remarkable state of preser-
walton. 1t has been fully thirty feet
from the ground, and its presence there
can only be accounted for by the sup
position that some passing horseman had
used the crotch of sapling as Arrest for
his bride, and, led from the place in
pursuit of his straying horse, had been
unable to find it again, and abandoned
the bride to be carried up and entomb-
ed by the slow growth of the tree. tits
believed that the tree must have been
fifty years in hiding its treasure.
