In Chicago, on the 30th, matters had very
nearly resumed their normal condition, so far
Is the banks were concerned. The effect Of
the late panic was just beginning to be felt by
merchants and traders. Trade was unmistak-
ably dull and collections difficult to be made.
A Madison, Wisconsin, dispatch of the Is
announces that the Bank of Madison had
failed.
A dispatch from Springfield, ILL.,, Of the LIST,
says the Leland House Of that city had been
damaged by fire to the extent Of $4,000.
A dispatch from Lansing, Mich, says the
cornerstone Of the New State Capitol Of Mich
igan had been laid on that day, with appro-
pirate ceremonies. Addresses were made by
Hon. VIM. A. Howard and Gov. Bagley.
On the Sd, business in Chicago had nearly
recovered its wonted aspect. Banks were re-
ceiving and paying out currency freely, and
the paper that fell due was generally met.
Country collections were said to be favorable,
and the indications were that the money strin-
gency had very nearly passed. Manufacturing
establishments had generally reduced the hours
Of labor or reduced the wages Of labor, and
few men, comparatively, had been DISCHARGED.
A dispatch from Dubuque, Iowa, says an
examination Just made into the affairs Of the
Merchant National Bank Of that city
had shown that r. A. Babbage, the
Cashier, had distracted from the bank by
means Of false entries $967, $50, and that the

Scientific.

A DETROIT man has invented an au-
tomaton fire-lighter for fire-engines,
which is thus described: According to
the old method, before an engine left
the house, after an alarm of fire was
sounded, it was necessary for the en-
gineer or fireman to get torch, light
it at the gas burner, and touch 1t to the
kindling material under the boiler. For
doing this fifteen or twenty seconds of
time, and often more, were required.
This is a contrivance by which this
amount of time may be saved. Under
the fire-grate he attaches a socket made
of bit of gas pipe, or some other cyl
inder. In the bottom of this is a stiff
spiral spring, and upon the spring is
placed a large composition match,
tipped with what is known as the Eng
lish preparation. In the top OF the
socket is slide with the under side
corrugated. IRe slide is fastened to
wire or cord, the other end of which
can be attached to the floor or passed
under the engine to the engineers
stand. In the former case, as the en-
CINE starts the slide is drawn from the
socket, the corrugated surface passing
across the tip of the match, which Is
held firmly against it by the spiral
spring and instantly igniting it. In the
latter case the engineer can, at his con
venience, withdraw the slide and ignite
the match. In some cases the latter
method is preferable, as when the en-
gine is to go long distance to fire 1t
is frequently not desirable to light the
fire until several blocks have been ira
versed. The match when lighted makes
a fame about four inches high, and
burns about twenty seconds, thus thor
oughly igniting the kindling material
in the CRATE. The contrivance has been
tested and is now in use.

The OLIVE, it seems, can be grown in
our Southern States with success. A
planter on st. Simon's Island, Georgia,
has been experimenting with the olive,
and has 80 trees all in bearing, each
averaging five gallons of oil during the
season. His crop of 1870 was 1850 gal
Ions, and was sold for $4,000. The
Savannah papers speak of the oil as
very good, although made by a rude
process of manufacture, and they re-
commend that general attention be paid
to the cultivation of the olive in that
section. 4 good deal of what is called
''olive oil'' at present sold in the Ameri-
can market is said to be made by ex-
pressing the essence of cotton seed. 1t
is believed to be used in large quanti-
ties, although it is entirely innocent of
the presence of ''olives."

In Brookly recently, small boy OF
an inquiring disposition discovered a
small hole in circus tent, and availing
himself of the opportunity to inspect

A PROCESS has recently been devised
in England for the separation of wooden
and cotton from mixed fabrics, by which
tie animal fibres wool, silk, leather,
etc, may be obtained in form suita-
bic tor manure, while those of vegetable
origin Cotton, flax, hemp, etc. are
secured unchanged. This process, as
described in a late report, consists in
treating the mixed fabrics with steam,
whereby the animal matters are reduced
to a varnish-like coagulum, becoming a
brittle, friable mass. When dry, this
mass is beaten and sifted, the animal
matter passing through the sieve in the
form of a powder, while the cotton, or
other vegetable tibres, remain behind,
and may be advantageously used in the
manufacture of paper.

DURABILITY OF GREEN TIMBER Oak
under water has been known to remain
sound and solid for six hundred years.
Mere moisture in the wood alone, then,
has nothing to do with decay but when
wood is half dry and half moist it is an
excellent nest for the spores of moulds
and mildews to hatch, and in 1t is these
which carry on the work of wood des-
truction. Under ground, where the
temperature is always low and regularly
damp, these moulds cannot work and
the wetter and colder the soil the safer
IS the wood from the destructive agen-
cies.
Now, if we half dry post we open
little seams in every direction, and the
air always follows seam. In the
atmosphere these germs of decay exist
in countless numbers, and they are
admitted into the wood with the air.
When moisture again follows they are
in the best possible condition for growth
and of course the rot is a consequence.
If the posts be placed in the ground
before the opening process of drying is
commenced, all this risk of admitting
the "seeds of consumption, so to
speak, is avoided.

IL view of the probable introduction
and cultivation of the ecinchona-tree upon
American soil, any information relating
to the proper treatment of these plants
is rendered serviceable. A recent OBJ
server reports that, when the plants of
the CiRchOna SuccirUbrd is manured
with sulphate of ammonia or guano,
the result is an increase in the alkaloids
obtained. By this treatment, however,
a change seems to be effected by which
this species loses its alkaloidal charac-
ter with age, and for this reason manur-
ing is not advised. A more favorable
result follows the manuring of the Cia-
chona obiciRaLis, which is thus caused
to yield much greater amount of
quinine. While pursuing the same line
of investigation, J. Z. Howard reports
that the leaves of the CjnchOna succjru-
bra contain no alkaloids.

LIGHT WAVES AND SoUND-WAvEs.- "A
curious instance of the analogies OF
light and sound is given in the Medical
Times, from a German medical journal.
Two brothers, named Nussbaumer, are
said to receive visual impressions from
sounds. When a certain note is struck
upon the piano, the brothers at once
have a sensation of certain cores
ponding color, which is not, however,
Identical for both. Thus the note
which produces in the one the impress
sion of dark Prussian blue, produces in
the other that of dark yellow. They do
not, however, perceive all colors on
occasion of hearing sounds. One of
the brothers has sensations of yellow,
brown, and violet, most frequently F;
while blue, yellow, and brown, are most
frequent with the other. One of them
never has the sensations of red, green,
black, or white, awakened by musical
notes, though on one occasion he says
that, suddenly hearing a noise from the
filing of saw, he had the sensation of
green. No doubt it is very difficult to
be secure against deception in such a
matter as this; but we may add that
Prof. Bruhl, of Vienna, after thorough
investigation, is satisfied that there is
no fraud.

\ SUMNER SIGN OF RAIN = In low
lying regions, as in valleys. an unusual
clearness of the air in SUNNI r is well
known as certain sign of rain. This
is stated by De la Rue to be owing to
the presence of moisture III the atmos-
phere which dissolves the saline and
other impurities which exist therein in
abundance at that season, also to the
fact that the non soluble particles OF
dust, etc, absorb moisture, and being
rendered heavy fail to the ground. The
elimination of minute bat abundant i'm
purities, therefore, accounts for the in
creased transparency and the greater
apparent nearness of hills and other
prominent objects.
In the absence OF dust and floating
particles at other seasons, the atmos-
phere has, of course, normally the same
transparency as when, in summer, it is
purified by the means indicated. Hence
in winter the mountains are often visi-
bic at distances which render them OBJ
scure in summer, and the east wind
insures the same with the peak of Ten
eriffe, well known to mariners as visible
far out at sea. Some kinds of atmos-
pheric dust are quite fertilizing to the
soil when brought down to it, the
French chemist having, it is claimed,
even found phosphates among them.

OK BUDDING TREEs.-Buds from bear
ing trees are preferable to those from
seedlings. The latter have more ten
dency to make a woody growth, and
will not come into bearing as early as
the first. Sour or wild trees are much
more desirable for stocks, for the reason
that they are healthier and harder
than sweet seedlings. and make a longer

FANCY APRONS AND BLOUSE WAISTS
Pretty aprons of Swiss and organdy
muslin are being made up as addition
to house toilets. Those trimmed with
pockets of embroidery. edged with Val
enciennes, are very dressy. Bretelles
or tichus to match are sometimes worn
with these aprons. They are composed
almost entirely of Valenciennes. The
belt is covered by a ribbon sash, the
ends trimmed with Valenciennes.
Bows of ribbon of the same color and
shade ornament the pockets and form
shoulder knots.
Swiss muslin blouse waists are worn
with colored skirts for afternoon and
demi-toilet in the evening. The addi-
ton to a black Chantilly lace fichu or
sacque produces very dressy effect.
A colored sash should always be worn
with black skirt, when lace sacque
is worn over a white waist. Ladies of
a decidedly matronly appearance, how
ever, should never encircle their waists
with a colored sash when the waist is
white and the skirt black.

Uses OF WASTE PAPER.-Few house
keepers are aware of the many uses to
which waste paper may be put. After
stove has been blackened, it can be
kept looking very well for long time
by rubbing it with paper every morning.
Rubbing with paper is a much nicer
way of keeping the outside of tea ket-
tie, coffee pot or tea pot bright and
clean, than the old way of washing it in
suds. Rubbing them with paper is also
the best way of polishing knives and
tin ware after securing them. If little
soap be held on the paper in rubbing
tinware and spoons. they shine like new
silver. For polishing mirrors. windows,
lamp chimneys, ETC., paper is better
than dry cloth. Preserves and pickles
keep much better if brown paper instead
of cloth is tied over the jar. Canned
fruit is not apt to mold if a piece of
writing paper, cut to tit each can, is laid
directly upon the fruit. Paper is much
better to put under carpet than straw.
1t is thinner warmer, and makes less
noise when one walks over it. Two
thicknesses of paper placed between
the other coverings on bed are as warm
as quilt. If it is necessary to step
upon chair, always lay a paper upon
it, and thus save the paint and wood
work from damage. 4meri-
