DIFFERENT KINDS OF EYES.-No branch
of science has been more Thoroughly mas
tered than optics. The principle OF vision
must be essentially the same 10 all eyes,
but they differ remarkably, according TO
the habits of the animal. Birds of lofty
flight, as the condor, eagles, vultures, and
carrion-sseking providers of the feather cd
race, have telescope vision, and thus they
are enabled to look down and discover
their unsuspecting victims. As they ap-
proach noiselessly from above, the axis of
vision nges-shortening so that they
see just as distinctly within one foot Of the
ground as when at an elevation of one mile
| in the air.
This fact explains the balancing OF fish
hawk on its pinions half mile above a
still pond, watching for fish. When one Is
selected, down the savage hunter plunges,
the focal axis varying with the square
view of its intended prey always. As they
ascend, the axis Is elongated by curious
muscular arrangement, so as to see afar
again.
Snails have their keen eye, at the ex-
tremity of flexible horns, which they can
protrude or draw in at pleasure. BY wind
ing the instrument round the edge of a leaf
or small stalk, they can sve how matters
stand on the opposite side. The hammer
headed shark has its wicked looking eyes
nearly two feet apart. By will effort they
can bend the thin edgings of The head on
which the organs are located SO as TO ex-
anime the two sides of an object the size of
full-grown Goldfish.
Flies have immovable eyes. They stand
out from the head like half an apple, ex-
ceedingly prominent. Instead of being
smooth hemispheres, they have an i'm
mense number of faces, resembling old
fashioned glass watch seals, each one di-
recting the light directly TO the optic retina.
That explains why they cannot beapproach-
ed in any direction without seeing what is
coming.

CURIosIT1Es IN THE Flow OF SAP.-Mr.
Edward Phelps. living near Burlington,
has just given us the result ola discovery,
recently made by him, of some facts which
are probably new to most If not all of those
who work among trees. The experiments
frequently tried by him, rs related in the
Witness, are as follows:
In the time Of tho flow of sap, take a
fresh green sapling or limb of birch, or
some wood which flows sap freely. Of about
the diameter of the augur hole made in tap
ping maple tree, and clear off the bark
for half all inch from one end, and drive or
press II into the auger hole, so that the
shoulder Of the bark Of the green stick will
fit against the bark of the tree, rs in graft
ing. Then set bucket under the other
extremity of the limb or saplng, which Is
also cut off, and the sap will be found drop
ping from the end farthest from the tree,
almost instantaneously, no matter what
may be the length of the stick and it will
continue to run as long as the days run OF
sap continues, and rs fast as through COM
mon spout.
| In this way he has brought sap from diff
| ferent trees into the same bucket. In using
birch stick, tasting the first which was
yielded, he found il 10 have a birch taste,
and concludes that the maple sap, when
commencing to find its way through the
stick, as soon as ii is inserted in the tree
instantly moves the whole body of the
birch sap until II is exhausted, when the
maple ship runs as freely through its new
medium as 1t did in the original tree.

THE Philosophy OF FRYING MEATS

The PHILOSOPHY OF FRYING MEATs.-
OF all methods of cooking none is so com
mon, so convenient and so economical, as
frying. And yet very few people under
stand the philosophy of a good fry, or there
would certainly be less complaint of its I'M
healthfulness, and less indigestion from its
consumption.
Perfect frying is perfect cooking, and is
in reality very easily done. 1t is only
necessary that the fat should be bubhling
hot. Then the article dropped into it is at
once covered with thin crust, crisp, brown
and sppetizing, and the interior of the
meat retains its julccs and is quite free
from all suspicious of fat.
But the frying-pan, it is seif-evdent, can
not be shallow one, for il must have a
depth of boiling fat sufficient to cover the
steak or outlet, etc., for if this is not done
at once the part remaining cold cools the
adjoining fat and then absorbs it, so that
the whole benefit of the boiling fat is neu-
tralized.
If a steak is at once covered with brown
crisp crust 1t will cook as readily as water
would. The meat then is neither greasy
in appearance nor reality, so that keeping
this point in view there is no reason why
this convenient method of cooking should
not be a delicate and as healthy as either
broiling, baking, or boiling.-Er.

% CAUSES OF DEATH.-The English NOR
tality records for 1872 contain some curious
statements as to the causes Of death among
Her Msjesty's subjects. Velocipedes kill
ed one old woman, one boy and a man |;
bees stung one man TO death and a cat, a
ferret and an adder each killed their man
by bite. One little child swallowed a
screw, another a shell and another cherry
stone; one hid stone in its ear, and a.
mother tried to hear bead by thrusilng 1t
into its ear aud all died. A belle OF fash
ion persisted from swallowing pin which
she was trying to hold in her mouth, fish
bones killed three people who ate without
their glasses, and sSalIowing coins closed
the careers Of two Others. The wrong kind
of food is charged with The death of five
persons, and the wrong kind of medicine
killed eight. Besides these, four hundred
and forty-four children were smc thered
by bed-clothes, fact worth noticing, and
nine hundred and thirty persons were kill
ed by the railroads. Suicide carried off
about seventy in every 1000, 900 of the pop
ulation,

FEED FOR PRoDuc1No MI1K-Tbe

FEED FOR PRODUCING MILK.-The Prac-
tical Farmer says st is we'll settled in the
opinion Of all our best dairymen, that bran
greatly promotes the milk secretions in
cows, and is fed almost.universally. About
equally mixed with corn meal is the usual
proportion. The mixture seems to pro-
mote both quantity and quality of milk.
From several sources we hear that buck
wheat bran Is great milk producer, and
1t is now being used considerably among
our Chester county dairymen, in about the
same proportions as the other.
Thomas Gawthrop, near West Grove,
Chester county, N. Y, also by repeated
trials with his own cows, has fully satisfied
himself that they do as we'll with corn and
cob meal and bran, as with pure corn meal
and bran. The amount of nutriment in
corn-cobs is so very small that this result
will have to be explained on the supposi-
ton Of the ground cob, acting TO promote
digestion by distending the stomach. The
presence Of bulky material being necessary
to promote distension and fill up the stom-
ach of Illuminating animals, before perfect
! digestion can be accomplished, Is frequent
ly lost sight Of Hungarian grass is also
found for mlch cows to be rather superior
to the ordinary run of hay. The last year
or two, Hungarian grass has doomed up
wonderfully in the estimation OF our dairy
farmers; and very large scope ofland
will be sowed with it the coming season.
1t natures for cutting In about sixty days,
and produces two or four tons per acre
the latter of course on good soil. Three
| pecks to the acre is the usual allowance OF
seed. Where good hay market Is con-
venient, this substitution of Hungarian
grass for common hay in home feeding will
be clear additional source of profit.-Ru-

they would let vinegar alone, and use lem

a suggestion may not come amiss as to a
good plan when lemons are cheap in the

purchase several dozen at once, aud pre-
pare them for use In the warm, weak days

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to it's youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and l consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
