THE SICKNESS AND DEATH Of CAPT.

THE SICKNESS AND DEATH OF CAPT.
HALL.
A New York Herald correspondent
interviewed DR.. Bissell, the surgeon of
the Hall Arctic exploring expedition,
on the arrival of the Buddington party
at Dundee, Scotland. In relation to
the sickness and death of the chief of
the expedition, DR.. Bissell said
"Since arriving here We find by Amer
lean papers that several very silly and
absurd rumors of q miscellaneous ten
dency have been abroad. It is quite
possible that the Government at Wash
ington prefers that we reserve what we
have to say for graver discussion, but I
must emphatically contradict the state
ment that Capt. Hall died other than a
natural death. He died of apople1y.
He appeared to be in perfect health
when entering upon the voyage. no.
ticed nothing unusual in his health up
to the period of his illness. The rumor
that he vas poisoned is too absurd to be
seriously entertained. The rumor may
have been founded on the h~allucination
of the raving patient"
The Herald correspondent adds !:
Schumann, the engineer, says that Hall
was in continual apprehension of being
shot, but was not aware that any one
member of the crew more than another
excited his suspicious. Another phase
of his mania was q determination not to
eat or drink anything unless it was first
tasted by some person. The tasting
mainly done by Hannah, the Es-
quimaux woman. When he rallied, and
for a while recovered his wonted intel
lect, he would say to Capt. Buddington,
eff I die, you must still go on the
North Pole" He would say, "My
last wish is that you strive to get to the
North Pole. Don't let my death be o
hindrance to the accomplishment of
this great undertaking."

A FeedsCntter.

A correspondent gives his method of
converting a mower into a feed-cutter.
follows: Place the machine standing
upright on the back end, and brace it
firmly. Then brace up the bar so that
it will be steady, and fit a board on the
top Of the fingers of the guardian, so
that the hay cannot get over the bar.
Then make a table to feed on. Throw the
machine into the gear, put the hay Oh
the table and turn the wheel. The hay
is fed against the under side of the bar.
With a horse power and belt to the
wheel, this makes a first-rate power

FARM AND HOME
Homemade Horse Power.

The cheapest and best way to make a
horsepower for dairy and other light
use is to put a light drum on a center
post, high enough to have the belt clear
the horses head. Attach q sweep ten or
twelve feet long to the center post, SO
that the track in which the horse walks
will be from twenty to twenty-four feet
in diameter if possible. Let the track
be soft ground. The whole arrangement
may be made of white pine, except the
sweep, which should be hard wood. Let
the drum be about ten feet in diameter
and six inches face. Use a two-inch
rubber belt. Make a small pulley from
four inches to a foot in diameter, accord
ing as you want fast or slow motion. If
YOU want the motion still faster, gear up
with a second belt and set of pulleys.
The direction of the motion may be
changed by quarter twist in the second
belt, or by passing the first belt over
idler pulleys. This arrangement will
be almost noiseless, while the clatter
and jar of a circular platform would
be enough to drive a sensitive or
nervous person almost crazy. Besides,
it is much easier and safer to teach a
horse to follow a circular path than to
keep his balance on q revolving plat
form.

A. Banning Norton, of Dallas, Texas,
who formed n of the party of Texas
editors who recently made an excursion
to st. Louis and Chicago, has not had
his hair or beard cut for Twenty-Five
years. In 1874, when Henry Clay ran
for President, Norton made a vow that
he would neither shave or have his hair
cut until the idolized Kentucky states
man was Chief Magistrate of the nation.
He has faithfully kept his vow to this

STEPHEN GIRARD'S MEMORY.

"Stephen Girard," says a writer in a
Philadelphia paper, chad a remarkable
memory, seldom forgetting anything to
which his attention had once been
called. As an instance, when, in 1893,
his ship Voltaire was built, laborers
were scarce, on account of a fever
raging at the time, and Girard person
ally assisted his favorite carpenter,
Jimmy HUMPHREYS, in driving in the
copper bolts which held the breast-hook
fastening in the bow. In 1872, during
the war, the Voltaire required repairing,
and it was Overhauled at Kcnsington.
1t was necessary to remove the copper
bolts which held the fastening, in order
to replace some wood work, and it be-
came necessary to know whether the
bolts had been riveted from the inner
or outer side. The same carpenter,
Humphries, was assisting in the repair
ing of the vessel, but was Unable to find
the bolt heads. Girard, who was stand
ing near, smiled quietly, noticing which,
HUMPHREYS asked, rather jokingly,
8 Perhaps !you know something about
them, sirY The old man laughed, and
said: Why, Jimmy, don't you remem-
Der that hot afternoon in SO, when you
and I put in those bolts? The star
board ones are riveted from the outside,
and the larboard from the inside.
Through all the whirling memories of
that wonderful head, the old mans
mind had gone back to the simple in
cident of nineteen years before, with
accuracy"

The Nature of

1t is a generally received opinion that
the deposits of guano are exclusively the
excrements of birds. DIR. Habel has in
vestigated this matter microscopically
and chemically, and has found that after
treating the substance with an acid, the
insoluble residue is composed of fossil
sponges and other marine animals and
plants precisely similar in constitution
to such as still exist in those seas. The
fact, too, that the anchors of ships in the
neighborhood of the guano islands
often bring up guano from the bottom
OF the ocean, is quite in opposition to
the prevalent belief. DR.. Habel there
fore considers that thedeposits of guano
must be the result of the accumulation
of fossil plants and animals whose or
ganic matter has been transformed into
heterogeneous substance, the mineral Dor
ton remaining intact.

Ripening of Fruit.

Prof. Turner says : "Previous to ma
turity, fruits are formed of compact Gel
lular tissue, containing the elements of
woody fiber, and filled with a liquid con-
tanning very little sugar, a gummy sub
stance and a large quantity of free acid.
During maturation a part of the acid dis
appears 10y the action of the oxygen of
the air, and the cellulose.tissue dimin-
ishes and the proportion of sugar in
~creases, insomuch that instead of hard,
woody acid fruits, if the maturation has
been complete, fruits yield a sweet, sir
upy juice"
According to Prof. Mulder, "feshy
fruits and several kinds of berries ac-
quire while ripening a much greater pro-
portion of sugar than they contained
before maturity, although full grown.
Rlpe fruits have not an acid taste be-
eau they contain a large quantity of a
basis by which they are saturated, and
not because they are disguisedby sugar."
Frenzy says cat the moment of
ripening, the acids of fruits are par
TALLY saturated, and form salts Of lime
or potash" -
How TO Fill Empty Comb.

we can best fill up a number of hives of

hvingcolonies healthy, thoughw weak, and

plies, through the Iowa Homestead, as
follows:
"The best way to fill up your comb
is to watch the bees, now that warm
weather has come, and every few days
put one empty comb between two that
the queen has filled with brood. In this
way you will soon have any hive full of
brood if honey is plenty; if not, you
must feed quite literally with sugar
strip. There will be no trouble in
getting your hives all full of bees again
if you manage in this way. If the season
is good, it may be necessary for you to
extract honey frequently from the comb
to give the queens ROOM"
