Generous Liberaiity OF the Deceased
Savanf.

At the last meeting OF the Board OF Trustees of
the Museum OF Comparative Zoology held October
20, Professor Agassiz was present, and verbally re-
ported that having had from private funds the
amount OF 100000, he should report the way in
which it was spent officially, although 1t had been
given to him as personal gift for the spending OF
which he was not responsible to the trustees.
Wishing to place the museum on permanent foot
ing equal to that OF the other great museums, he
gave notice that he should at the next meeting
wish TO see committee appointed to consider It's
future prospects. He also announced that Mr..
Anderson had authorized the union of the school
at PenikeSe with the museum.
Mr.. Nathaniel Thayer, at the meeting of the Board
to day, moved the appointment OF committee OF
five upon the future OF the museum. The motion
prevailed, and the Governor appointed Messrs.
Nathaniel Thayer Ames A. Lawrence, Theo. Ly
man, George B. Lorng and Joseph Waite.
For the present the museum is under the direc-
ton OF alexander AgassZ and Mr.. Carey.

BARNs-BARN CELLARs-wATER,


do not know whether short piece from my
pen would be accepted, but would like to state
few facts of my experience in farming.
First, will take mp the subject of barns and
barn cellars. Some prefer a large barn, but
prefer the same amount of room in a small barn.
Whyi some will ask. For several reasons:
1. Because q small amount of hay is less libale
to heat than large one and there is always some
hay which goes into the barn only about half
cured for if there is n shower coming, the farmer
will run in all he can, whether it is fit or not ::
consequently, 1t must make in the barn.
2. Because it takes less help-one or two hands,
at least. In one of the large barns, after You
get mp distance, the hay and grain must 20
over the beams, and you must have spare help
to take care of it. In one of the small barns
they are useless-they can be better employed in
the held
.. Because they cah bs PLACED i'll better posi-
tion to break of the wind, and there IL nothing
more injurious to stock than to be exposed TO 4
storm in the winter.
Every barn where stock is kept should have
a celar-they are not complete without one

This must be obvious to all, for it is quite evil

effects of good drainage, which is essential to

CHILL AND FEVER DEsrRoyER.

Accommodation which ought to have a spe-
cial interest for Staten Island, New Jersey, aud
other chill and fever localities has lately been
addressed to the French Academy of Sciences by
Nj. Gimbert, who has been long engaged in col
Iecting evidence concerning the eucalyptus gtoba-
las, tree Of extraordinary rapid growth, which
attains hinge dimensions and appears to possess
an extraordinary power Of destroying miasmatic
influence in fever stricken districts 1t has the
singular property of absorbing ten times its
weight OF water from the soil, and of emitting
antiseptic camphorous effluvia. When sown in
marshy ground it will dry it mp in very short
time The English were the first to try it at the
Cape, and within two or three years they COM
pietely changed the climatic condition of the I'M
healthy parts OF the colony. A few years later
its plantation was undertaken ON larger scale
in various parts of Algeria. At Paddock, 20 miles
from Algiers, a farm situated on the banks of the
HanySe, was noted for it's extremely pestlential
air. In the spring of 1867 about 10000 of the
eucalyptus were planted there. In July of the
same year-the time when the fever season used
to set in-not single case occurred; yet the
trees were not more than nine feet high. Since
then complete immunity from fever has been
maintained. In the neighbmhood of Constantine
the farm OF Ben Machydln was equally in bad
repnte. Ii was covered with marshes, both in
winter and summer. In five years the whole
ground was dried up by 1900 of these same
trees, and formers and children enjoy excellent
health. At the factory of the Gay de Constan-
tine, in three years plantation of eucalyptus
has transformed twelve acres of marshy soil into
a magnificent park, whence fever has completely
disappeared. In the Island of Cuba this and all
other paludal diseases are fast disappearing from
all the unhealthy districts where this tree has
been introduced. A station house at one of the
ends of railway viaduct iiss the Department of
the War was so pestilentiai that the officials
could not be kept there longer Than year. For

tree will grow in other thin hot climates. We

The Germantown Telegraph remarks: ave
shonld be remiss in our duty were we 70 neglect,
at this season of the year, to repeat our counsel
as to the great comfort and convenience which
dry walks insure about dwellings, barns and
outhouses generally in winter and spring. We
are panied sometimes to see the utter negligence
prevailing upon some premises in this respect
A few old boards, or few dollars worth of now
boards; nice Hat stoRes, or 0 libefsi sappiy Of

depth of three or four inches, after removing the
mud, make firstrate walk. aud they can lie put
to no better use. The difference to be seen upon
premises where dry walks sys provided wher-
ever needed. when compared to others where this
moral influence has no abiding place, is enough
to make us shiver as well as to cause us to feel
for the sbsenee of social charities in the family.
