ALL the ingredients of corn, accord
ing to Leconte, may be utilized. The
grain is, in the first place, to be satu-
rated with solution of caustic soda in
large cisterns, and transferred to cylin-
drical sieves; then dipped in water,
and ground in connection with a con-
tinuOus stream of pure, or aomewhat
caustic water. The quantity of soda,
depending on its quality, the oily con-
tents of the grain, and the temperature,
should be such as to saponify the oil of
the grain while allowing the starch to
appear solid and firm. The liquid as it
leaves the mill. passes over sieges, on
which the germs, hulls, etc, are re.
tsined, while the starch and soap pass
through, and flow over large, inclined
surfaces, upon which the starch settles
and the dilnte soap solution collects in
cisterns. The starch is then washed
with rnre water i'll cisterns, again passed
through sieves into cisterns, allowed to
settle twenty-four hours and, after
drawing off the supernatant liquid, re-
moved and dried. Excellent soap may
be obtained from the dilute solution,
and the germs, etc, can be utilized in
paper manufacture.

OzoSISG AIR.-An easy way of ozon-
ing the air of sick-room, as described
in German periodical, consists in the
use of powder composed of peroxide
of manganese, permanganate of potash,
and oxalic acid, which has the property
of giving out, in contact with water, an
abundant quantity of ozone. For a
chamber of middling size it is sufficient
to use about two tablespoonfuls of the
power, over which are poured from one
to one and a half tablespoonfuls of
water every two hours. In this way
the quantity of ozone produced is ex-
actly what is wanted the presence of a
larger quantity in the air would occa-
sion irritation of the throat and cough
ing. All metals, except gold and
platinum, must be removed, on account
of the oxidizing effects OF the ozone.

TOMATO BATTER CAKE.-The season
for that highly esteemed vegetable, the
tomato, being at hand, We take occasion
to recommend mode of serving them,
and which, after trial, We can pro-
nounce excellent. 1t is TO slice them,
when ripe, cover them with batter, aud
fry on griddle, like other cakes. They
should be seasoned while frying. Large
and solid tomatoes are the best for tbs
dish. Those who are fond of tomatoes
will take new delight in them fried in
this way for breakfast I; and We believe
that many who have not fancied them
in the old styles of serving, will fad
them most palatable IN this way.

mentation ceases cork it tight, and by

BLACK LEADING OF IRoN.-In these
days of general diffusion of chemical
knowledge, it is scarcely necessary to
state that the ''black lead" or "plum-
bago" OF commerce Is not lead at all, or
any compound OF lead, that it includes
no lead whatever In its composition.
Neither is it q carburet of iron, as is
sometimes stated. 1t is simply carbon !;
pure plumbago is pure carbon, impure
plumbago is impure carbon. Its proper
name is graphite, that is, writing stone.
l may venture to describe it as the
softest of ali true solids, and have often
pondered wonderingly upon the appar-
emily unnoticed, but very curious
chemico-mechanicsl, paradox that the
hardest and softest OF all the solids
existing upon this earth are, chemically
speaking, the same substance graphite
and the diamond, being both carbon.
1t is this wonderful softness, COM
bined with persistent solidity, that
enables us to smear it over any other
solid surface, and thus obtain a solid
paint, all body and no medium. For
the class Of castings to which Ii is com
monty applied, where It's application
can be readily repeated, and where it is
not exposed to the direct action of
water, 1t is unrivaled as protecting
film to iron. Its chemical action, SO
far as it does act VIXEN cold, is reducing
or anti-oxidising. Its color and tone
are SO similar to iron that Mr.. Ruskin
himself could scarcely make any sesthe-
tic objections TO its use, and the film is
so marvelously thin that 1t obliterates
nothing. / have never met with any
attempt to estimate the thickness of a
well brushed film of graphite, but l
suspect that, if hundred strata of
snch films could be piled in contact
with each other, their combined thick
ness would fall short of that of the
thinnest gold leaf.

Fossils OF THE DEPARTEp.-A Ger
man inventor, DIR. Won Steinfels, seems
to have hit happy medium for dispos-
ing of the dead, which is at least free
from the objections urged against
burial, while it does no violence to the
feelings which naturally shrink from
destroying by fire the corpse of a be-
loved friend. 1t is proposed to place
the body in sarcophagus made of
stone, and to pack around the corpse
artificial stone or cement in a plastic
state. Ths latter being allowed to
harden, the remains become like fossil
embedded in the solid rock, and, if
need be, the deceased finds his grave
and his monument in one and the same
mass.

Domestic.

How PLANTS PURIFY THE AIR
Plants gain their nourishment by the
absorption, through their roots, of Ger
tain substances from the soil, and by
the decomposition through their green
portions, of particular gas contained
in the atmOsphere-carbonic-scid gas.
They decompose this gas into carbon,
which they assimilate. and oxygen,
which they reject. Now, this phe-
nomenon, which is the vegetables mode
of respiration, can only be accomplished
with the assistance of solar light.
Charles Bonnet, of Geneva, who be-
gan his career by experimenting on
plants, and left this attractive subject
to devote hsmself to philosophy, only
in consequence of serious affection of
his sight, was the first to detect this
joint work, about the middle of the
eighteenth century. He remarked that
vegetables grow vertically, and tend
toward the sun, in whatever position
the seed may have been planted in the
earth. He proved the generality of the
fact that, in dark places, plants always
turn toward the point whence light
comes. He discovered, too, that plants
immersed in water release bubbles of
gas under the influence of sunlight.
In 177l, Priestley, in England, tried
another experiment. He let candle
burn in confined space till the light
went out, that is, until the contained
air grew unfit for combustion. Then
he placed the green parts of fresh
plant in the enclosure, and at the end
of ten days the air had become suffi-
ciently purified to permit the relightiDg
of the candle. Thus he proved that
plants replace gas made impure by
combustion with combustible gas.

A NEW method of joining gas pipes
has been perfected. Instead of the
usual projecting end, the pipes have
creases or channels around them. When
placed in contact, end to end, strip of
soft lead is bound about them. and
pressed tightly against the pipes by q
wrought iron ring. The advantages
claimed are that the pipes are lighter
and more easily cast; less lead is re-
quired to make the joint tight; no heat
is required for applying it it is quickly
done and especially that the joint is
somewhat elastic, and will last much
longer in soft ground, or when heavily
loaded.

Scientific.

THEORY OF CoMETs.-Prof. Newton,
of Yale College, delivered lecture on
the 9Th of March last before the Shef-
field Scientific School on Bielas' Comet.
The Professor gives the history OF the
comet from its discovery one hundred
and two years ago. to Its destruction.
He says the nucleus of the comet was
of hard substance-stone In fact, and
that it cracked to pieces on Its near
approach to the sun. Showers of
meteors seen from the earth were the
result of the dissolution OF the comet.
The grand meteoric display of Novem-
ber, 1872, is attributed to this cause.
The Professor says "a meteorold Is a
small comet, not having, however, the
comets tail"
As to the material of which the comet
was composed, and We suppose of which
all comets are composed, the Professor
saws:
At some time, probably in the historic
ages, it came near the huge planet
Jupiter. When 1t had gone out OF his
reach it had Just momentum enough
left to go around the sun in its present
orbit of 6; years. 1t went away from
Jupiter an entire and single comet. As
it came near the sun, his burning heat
acting upon the cold rocky body of the
comet cracked off and scattered in every
direction email angular bits. At the
same time very thin vapor, shining by
its own light, was set free. To this
vapor both comet aud sun had an un-
accountable repulsion. 1t was driven
off first by the comet every way. But
soon that which was sent towards the
sun was driven back again, and it went
streaming off into space to form the
comets tail. q process ably set forth by
Prof. Norton.
So here We have the theory that
comets are composed of rocky meteoric
substance, that they move slowly when
comparatively far distant from the sun.
that their motion is accelerated as they
approach the sun, and that the tail is
caused by the heat of the sun acting
upon the material of which the comet IS
composed. And further, that meteoric
showers may be attributed to the dis
solution of comets.
