THE Chinese use waterproof varnish,
made by beating together fresh blood
and quicksilver. Won Scherzer states
that he has seen in Pekin, wooden
chests, which have been vanished with
it, and after a journey through Siberia
to st. Petersburg and back, were still
sound and perfectly water-tight. Bas-
kets of straw, used for the transporta-
tion of oil, are prepared oy this varnish /;
it also gives the appearance and firm
ness Of wood to pasteboard.

ASBESTOS. os.-The name of this indie
structible compound is derived from
the Greek word asbestos, which, trans
lated, literally means unburnable-
title which is justly earned by this ex-
traordinary substance. Asbestos is a
mineral it is found in nearly every
part of the world, and occurs in distinct
veins and seams, usually in the serpen-
tine formation of rocks. In order to
procure it, it is necessary to mine in
regular form, and to work the seams by
blasting and tunneling. The manufac-
ture of asbestos steam packing is at
once a simple and beautiful process.
The raw material is brought to the
mandatory in considerable quantities
from different parts of the world 1t
comes in sacks, and resembles most
closely chips and blocks of wood, al
though of beautifully white color.
The fragments are picked apart and re-
duced to fiberous condition like jute,
or flax, or cotton. The material once
properly opened up, it is, by means OF
simple and ingenious machinery, formed
into packing Of the usual market sizes.

EFFECTS OF Soil AND SEASON ON MILK.
L. B. Arnold, of Ithaca, truthfully
says: The variations arising from the
nature of the land are very important
tc the dairyran. Milk is very different
when produced on high and rolling pas
lures from that produced on low and
wei land, and it must be treated differ
emily to obtain the best results. The
milk from the dry pasture can go to the
factory with but little cooling or airing,
and remain sweet and sound. 1t re-
quires much more abuse to spoil it than
the milk from wet ground, and it has
much better flavor and odor, and makes
finer goods. Milk from marshy ground
has strong, sourish smell, and sours
and taints 30 easily that it requires to
be thoroughly aired and cooled to make
a passable product from it. Wet and
dry seasons require corresponding
variation in the treatment of milk to
work it into good cheese.

How TO CURE CoLp.-H cold set
ties on the outer coverings of the lungs
it becomes pneumonia, Inflammation Of
the lungs, or lung fever, and in many
cases carries off the strongest man tt
the grave within a week. If cold falls
upon the inner covering of the lungs
it is pleurisy, with its knife-ike pains
and its slow, very slow recoveries. If
cold settles in the joints. there is rheu
matism, with the agonies of pain, and
rheumatism of the heart, which in ar
instant sometimes snaps asunder the

1t is of the utmost practical import.
ance, then in the wintry weather, to
know not so much to cure cold as to
avoid it. Cold always comes from the
cause-some part of the body being
colder than natural for q time. If q
person will keep his feet warm always,
and never allow himself or herself to be
chilled, he or she will never take cold
in a lifetime; and this can only be
accomplished by due care in warm
clothing and avoidance of drafts and
exposure. While multitudes of colds
come from cold feet, perhaps the ma.
jority arise from cooling off too quickly
after becoming little warmer than is
natural, from exercise or work, or from
confinement to warm apartment.

Scientific.

THE LEAF.-An interesting article on
the leaf, shows that the latter pumps
water from the ground through the
thousands of tubes in the stem OF the
tree, and sends it into the atmosphere
in the form of unseen mist to be con-
densed and fall in showers-the very
water that but for the |. af would sink
in the earth and find its way, perchance,
through subterranean channels to the
sea. And thus it is that we see it works
to give us the "early and later rain. !"
1t works to send the rills and streams,
like lines of silver, down the mountain
and across the plain. 1t works to pour
down the large brooks which turn the
wheels that energize the machinery
which gives employment to millions
commerce stimulated, wealth accumu-
lated, and intelligence disseminated
through the agency of this wealth. The
leaf does it all. 1t has been demon
strated that every square inch of leaf
lifts $500 of an ounce every twenty-four
hours. Now, a large forest tree has
about five acres of foliage, or 6,272, $40
square inches. This being multiplied
by $500 (the amount pumped by every
inch) gives US the result-37, 635 ounces,
or 7,7O4 pints, or 1883 quarts, or Is
barrels. The trees on one acre give 800
barrels in "a hours. An acre of grass,
of clover, or grain, would yield about
the same result. The leaf is a worker,
too, in another field where we seldom
look-where it works for the good Of
man in a wonderful manner. 1t carries
immense quantities of electricity from
the earth to the clouds and from the
clouds to the earth. Rather dangerous
business, transporting lightning, but it
is particularly fitted for this work. Did
you ever see a leaf entire to its edges !?
1t is always pointed, and these points,
whether they be large or small, are just
fitted to handle this dangerous agent.
These tiny fingers seize upon and carry
it away with ease and wonderful de-
spatch. - american EntOnlOlOgist.

Agricultural.

AUTUMN GARpES1NG.-October is the
month, above all others, for taking time
by the forelock. So much can be done
this month that is not infrequently
delayed until spring, that the labor OF
spring-gardening will be very much
decreased-in fact, reduced to little
more than play. New walks and drives
can be laid out and made, and old ones
repaired, new fower-beds can be made
or the old ones put in order, ready for
the spring planting, or set out imme-
diately with perennials, designed to
bloom the next year. New lawns can
be made, and the barren spots in old
ones sown with grass-seed.
The gardener should not relax her
efforts in her garden at this season OF
the year. 1t is too frequently the case
that on the approach of winter the
garden is neglected, and becomes un-
slightly with fallen leaves, dead animals,
and rubbish of all sorts. If properly
attended, it should be source of
pleasure until the fall of snow. The
fall-blooming flowers are among the
most brilliant of the whole season.
Zinnias and Petunias hold their own
until frost, and Marigolds do not come
into full bloom until quite late in the
season. Dahlias will make magnificent
show if properly attended to, and Chry-
ssnthemums retain their bloom until
near Christmas.
The walks and drives should be care
fully raked and cleared from falling
leaves. The fower-beds should be
cleared of the dead and dying stalks OF
the summer bloomers, the flower stalks
of the perennials that have gone out OF
blossom should be cut down, the empty
beds made over neatly for the next year,
the transplanting attended to, the dahlias
and chrysanthemums properly staked,
and the garden will prove source OF
pride and satisfaction up to the very
coming of winter

WATERING House PLANTS. plant
ought not to be watered until it is in a
fit condition to receive liberal supply
of that element, having previously Sc
cured good drainage, in order that all
superabundant water may be quickly
carried off. Those who are constantly
dribbling a moderately small quantity
of water upon their plants will not have
them in fiourishing condition for any
length of time. This must be obvious
to all, for it is quite evident that the
moderately small quantity of water fire.
quently given would keep the surface
of the soil moist, while at the same time,
from the effects of good drainage, which
is essential to the well being of all plants
in an artificial state, all the lower roots
would perish for want of water, and the
plant would become sickly and eventu-
ally die.

BARK LICE-It is very easy to destroy
bark lice. The little oyster-ike scale
WAS last year the living insect-a white
louise 80 small as to be almost micros-
copic, with just enough vitality to move
little from its parent nest, and there
fix itself, growing eight or ten times
larger, by means of viscous fluid
exuding from its body, and finally
hardening into the scale now covering
from one to two dozen eggs, looking
like white dust. A little watching with
the aid of a pocket magnifier. which
every farmer ought to own and carry
with him, will enable the observer to
tell when they are Matched out and
moving, which, in this latitude, 1880,
and elevation above tide-water 1,225
feet, is about the Goth of June. At any
time after this, and before they are
fixed to the bark, or are too much grown
and hardened, nothing more expensive
than soap suds from a Mondays wash
ing is needed for their complete de-
struction. In my own experience. one
thorough washing with soft soap suds
has always sufficed to kill them all,
and restore tree to vigor.

WHAT IS IN THE BEDRoOM.-If two
persons are to occupy bedroom during
the night, let them step on a weighing
scale as they retire, and then again in
the morning, and they will find their
actual weight is at least a pound less in
the morning. Frequently there will be
loss of two or more pounds, and the
average loss throughout the year will be
a pound of matter, which has gone of
from the bodies partly from the lungs
and partly through the pores of the
skin. The escaped matter is carbOnic
acid and decayed animal matter or poi
sonous exhalation. This is diffused
through the air in part, and part ab-
sorbed by the bed-clothes. If a single
ounce of wood or cotton be burned in a
room, it will SO completely saturate
the air with smoke that one can hardly
breathe though there can only be but
cne ounce of foreign matter in the air.
If an ounce of cotton be burned every
half hour during the night, the air will
be kept continually saturated with
smoke, unless there be an open window
or door for it to escape. Now the six
teen ounces of smoke thus formed is
far less poisonous than the sixteen of
e1halations from the lungs and bodies
of two persons who have lost a pound
in weight during the eight hours of
sleeping for while the dry smoke is
mainly taken into the lungs, the damp
odors from the body are absorbed both
in the lungs and into the pores of the
whole body. Need more be said to
show the importance of having bed
rooms well ventilated, and of thoroughly
airing the sheets, coverlids and mat
tresses in the morning, before packing
them up in the form of a neatly made
bed?
