confined to . few blocks in the northwestern
portion of the city, and it was hoped that it
would not become epidemic. The news from
Shreveport, La, on the 18th, was to the effect
that the disease there was on the increase. It
was estimated that 500 persons were down
with the fever, and the deaths SO far amount
cd to LAG. A dispatch to the Howard Associ-
alton says no report could possibly exaggerate
the condition of affairs in Shreveport, and they
were indeed deplorable. Physicians pro-
nounce the disease genuine yellow fever in its
epidemic form.

A dispatch from Shreveport, La, of the
18th represents the yellow fever undated, and
the distress in the city indescribable. OF six
men in the telegraph Office, FIVE have taken the
fever and two are already dead. The inter-
ments average thirty or forty daily, in popu-
lation of perhaps not over 1000. The physi-
clans and nurses are worked down. Sixty per
cent. of those attacked die. The people of
Memphis, Tennessee, are greatly excited over
the rumors of the prevalence of the yellow
fever in that city. On the 18th, all the trains
leaving on the various railroads were crowded
with persons fleeing from the scourge.
Lieutenant Commander A. N. Mitchell,
commanding the Pawnce, at Key West,
died of yellow fever on the 14th.

Drying Sweet Corn.

THERE are various ways of doing this,
and, of course, woman-likc, we think our
way is the best. We have tried both
ways-of cutting it from the cob and dry
ing it in the sun without scalding, and of
first scalding it few minutes and then
cutting it as closely as is possible with
out shaving the cob-and can safely as
sert that the latter method is far superior.
So this season We shall put on the biggest
kettle that will fit the siove, and fill it up
with ears of sweet corn in the height of
their sweetness and juice, and letting
them scald for five minutes shall then
skim them out into pan, and with a
corn-cutter scrapc off each ear. Then
spread the corn upon large plates. and
set them in the tin oven, back ola Stewart
stove, or not having that, they could be
placed in the stove oven when it is partly
cooled down. When the corn has shrunk
up so that the plates can be emptied into
one, it can be placed in the sun, and COW,
cred with piece OF mosquito netting,
which will keep off the flies, etc, and
when thoroughly dried it can be kept in

water, letting all the hulls rise to the top,
and be poured off. Then turn on warm
water enough to cover it, and let it soak
all night in a warm place. Next day
half an hours boiling will make it soft
and tender.
Soak the beans in the same manner and
turn them together when they are ready
to be boiled, straining out all the water
from the beans, but leaving it in the corn,
as it will bc sweet and milky. Add enough
water to boil both corn and beans. Then
turn in large cup of rich milk, or cream,
and boil fifteen minut~ Season with
salt, pepper and butter.
1t stands to reason if the corn is first
scalded, it retains the sugar of milk,
which produces its sweetness, but if it is
cut Oft in the green state, this dries away
upon the plates. And again, it is needfuI
to dry it rapidly at first to preserve this
flavor in the corn, which would be more
apt to evaporate if dried slowly in the
sun. But we must take care not to dry it
so quickly as to scorch the kernels, for
then they would be ruined. Sweet corn
is sometimes put down in salt. Cut off
the corn after first scalding it a few min
utes; then place layer of it in stone
jar, and scatter thin layer of fin" Gale

Professor Wood, of the Stevens Insti-
tute OF Technology, is said to have invent
ed a rock-drill of superior excellence. In
recent experiments at the Ninety second
street tunnel a hole thirty-six inches in
depth was drilled in the roof of the head
ing, the time consumed, including the
setting in place and subsequent removal
OF the machine, being but one hour. The
machine weighs but one hundred and
nifty pounds, and is driven by compressed
air.
The injurious effect of artificial light
upon the eye is said to be due to the pres
ence of an excessive number of non-lumi-
nous heat-rays. As proving this, it is said
that, while sunlight contains fifty per
cent. of these rays, electric light has
eighty, .gas'light ninety, and kerosene
light ninety-tour per cent. In view of
proposes to absorb these injurious rays by
interposing between the source of light
and the eye thin layer of alum or mica.
The fruit of the elm (Ulmus Campes-
trts) is a capsule, somewhat oval, very

The seed is contained near the center of

the seat OF the crystals. Every cell of this
part, says Hdrdsoicke's Science Gossip, con-
tains a short and brilliant crystal, cubi-
Cal, lozenge-shaped or prismatic in form,
and presenting a long diameter of about
l l66Sth, and q short diameter of 1-3555th

well-adapted for experiments with polar.
