Mr.. Sellers, the welI-knoW mechan
lcian, publishes some singular results
of Investigations made by HMM tbs
process Of recording sounds. 1t ap-
pears that, having occasion to count
the blows of a rapidly striking steam
hammer, which was thought to be
making 800 blows a minute three
careful observers, counting the blows
at the same time, made variation
of from 275 to s25 in the same count.
Believing that such observations
could not be relied upon, he connec'
ted a recording telegraph instrument
to the machine, placing two keys in
the circuit One key was closed by
each blow of the hammer,sa wire
from it being attached to arock shaft
in the valve motions, the other key
to be closed by the hand. When
the hand-key was closed, dots were
recorded on the paper ribbon. one
dot to each blow of the hammer ;
and by keeping the hand,key closed
any definite time, row of diets
equivalent to the number of strikes
in that time were recorded, which
dots could be counted at leisure.
Many experiments were tried with
this apparatus attached, and, as a
rule, it was found that most persons
who attempted to count when the
speed was near three hundred blows
per minute, overcounted rather than
undercounted. Very seldom did the
count of any observer tally with that
OF the instrument. ,.e

OF all nutrimentsy Now, the kernels of
grain show in the combination Of their
various constituents, an Astonishing sim
ilarity to, animal milk. Il nourishes in
the same manner as milk, and the con-
stituents of the two are perfectly analo
gous Nan requires for his nourishment,
above all, heterogeneous substances, and for
the maintenance of respiration and
warmth, nom heterogeneous substances; as
grain and many other plants, as well as
animal food, contain these substances in
al eminent degree, it s evident that in
stinct has ever pointed him to cereals, as
the gluten Is rich In heterogeneous and
starch in Neutrality-suspicious. substances. The
seeds of cereals contain seven parts of
starch, two of nitrogen, besides some gum
and sugar. By breaking them in tie
mill, bran is formed of The shell and the
parts directly underneath this, while the
inner white mass yields flour. The gluten
is tougher. and, therefore, mors difficult
to pulverize, than the starch. This ex-
plsins why the fire white flour resulting
from repeated sitting or boiling contains
much starch and little gluten, while the
coarse dark Graham is rich in gluten.

is added to the flour. In consequence, q
number of air bubbles are developed in
the dough, of sour unpleasant odor.
Ia This oder arises from the tactic acid
into which the saccharine matter ha: been
cow erted. Later, the odor Of the dough
becomes pleasant and vinous, for pcr-
ton of the starch has been converted into
sugar, and this into spirits Of wine and
carbonic acid. AS soon as the proper stage
of fermentation has arrived and the
dough is filled withair bubbles, it is put
in tho zen, in order that the spirits of
wine may escape, q part of the moisture
eyaporate, and the dough- become still
lighter through the expansion of air it
contains and the generating of steam. The
high temperature necessary for baking

contains more gluten than rye, and the

never rises so light as wheat.

Fire ALARM.

Considerable excitement was created on
our streets last Saturday forenoon over An
alarm of FIRE, the report rapidly spreading
abroad that the Stave, Chair and Bedstead
Factory OF Mr.. c.. May, in the 9Th Ward,
was in flames. Our fire company and a
large number Of citizens were soon
on the ground ready to render what assis.
lance was necessary, but fortunately their
services were not required Fire had
caught in the roof of the building,
but the application Of few pals of water
IN the nick OF time put out tho flames,
and doubtless pre- vented n most serious con
fagration. Mr.. Mays establishment en-
ploys nearly one hundred hands, and its
destruction would prove sad blow to our
city, as we'll as to the enterprising proprle-
tor. We rejoice that we are not called up
on to chronicle SO serious disaster.

pertinent of raising them. Here and there,
however, we find farmer who grows them
with success Last week Mr.. S. Owen, of
I1onia, brought to the city several bushels
of cranberry fruit which he grew on his own
marsh. They were good sized and of ex-
cellent flavor, aud met with ready sale. Mr..
Owen informed us that from q very small
patch he gathered this year about thirty
bushels. From the experiments with the
cranberry which he has made he is salts
fed the fruit can be cultivated with prof,
on many marshes which are now of no val
ue to their owners. We have little doubt
the day is coming when cranberry culture
will be an important branch of industry in
this vicinity.
