LIQUID CARBoNIC CACID.-Cailletel has,
by use of an apparatus very similar in
principle and construction to that de-
vised by Professor Andrews, of Belfast,
succeeded in iquefying carbonic acid,
under conditions which enable him to
test many of its properties, while still
in the liquid state. His apparatus con-
sists of hydrostatic press, by which
mercury can be forced, under pressure
of 900 atmospheres, if necessary, into a
cylindrical glass reservoir, terminating
in a narrower thick tube. Liquid car
bonic acid he finds to be colorless.
mobile, and a non-conductor of cleo
tricity. 1t is not decomposed by a
powerful induction spark, but the spark
has, in the liquid, very white dazzling
appearance. Salt. sulphate of soda,
chloride of calcium, sulphur, phos-
phorus, stearin, and paraffin are quite
insoluble in liquid carbonic acid.
Iodine is slightly soluble. Liquid car
bonic acid is but slightly soluble in
water: petroleum, however, dissolves
five or six times its bulk. Bisulphide
of carbon dissolves sparingly. Ether
mixes with it, in all proportions with
great readiness. Liquid fats dissolve
in it, but not solid fats. Sodium does
not reduce it.

SYMPTOMS OF SUNsTRoKE.-The one
great symtom-the center Of the group
in all forms of the disease-is the high
temperature. If the skin be cool, the
case is not sunstroke. After death the
high temperature continues, and is said
sometimes even to rise higher. Decom-
position follows with exceeding rapidity.
On post mortem examination the only
appearances of striking importance are
a condition of blood similar to that seen
in low fevers, q rigid, contracted state
of the heart, in which it feels like wood
and q great tendency towards the rapid
but transient developement of that Pc
culiar stiffening which sometimes after
death takes possession of the muscular
tissues.
There should in such cases be no
waiting for the doctor. The remedy Is
SO simple, the death SO imminent, that
the good Samaritan passing by should
save his brother. The good Samaritan
must, however, have a cool head to be
useful. Not every man that falls un-
conscious on a hot day has sunstroke.
There is, fortunately, one criterion SO
easy of application that any one can use
it. Go at once to the fallen man, open
his shirt bosom, and lay the hand upon
the chest if the skin be cool, you may
rest assured that, whatever may be the
trouble, it is not sunstroke. If, on the
contrary, the skin be burning hot, the
case is sunstroke, and no time should
be lost. The patient must be carried
to the nearest pump or hydrant, stripped
to the waist, and bucketful after bucket
full of cold water be dashed over him,
until consciousness begins to return, or
the intense heat of the surface decidedly
abates.-Lippincotfs Magazine.

AsPARAGUs.-Wead advise all our friends
who own a garden or farm, to plant a
bed of this most delicious vegetable.
There Is no crop more sure, and no
vegetable more palatable at this season
of the year. Once planted, it continues
to yield freely for many years, and if
well cared for, viii produce large and
fine stalks. There is said to be several
varieties we think that the soil and
treatment makes the difference, rather
than the variety. Formerly, the one
or two old roots were set quite deeply,
say one foot deep in the trenches; but
within a few years the practice has
somewhat changed, as it cannot be had
so early by deep planting. We should
not advise planting it more than four
or six inches deep, preferring on many
soils four inches. The young plants
should not be covered more than two
inches deep when set, or they will be
likely to decay. The earth can be drawn
IN gradually during the summer. The
rows may be three and half or four
feet apart, and the plants in the rows
about a foot apart. Latterly some of
the gardeners have adopted the plan of
planting in stools some two feet apart,
and treating these stools as a stool or
hill of rhubarb. We doubt not larger
stalks can be raised in this way than
by the old method. Salt may be used
to advantage on the beds. We have
seen salt applied so as to cause the soil
to turn red, and to prevent all weeds
from growing, and yet the asparagus
would flourish finely.-Boston Tran
script.

CONTROLLING NUTRITIoS.-When one
understands the elements ofplant nutri-
tion, and knows how to control it, it is
surprising how great are the results Of
farm or garden art. In grape culture,
for instance, in England, 1T is essential to
grow the foreign grape under glass but
of course, a great amount of direct per-
sonal attention has to be brought to
bear in order to make it success. But
this close attention makes the grower
intimately connected with the wants of
the plants he grows; and in the case
of the grape vine, the English growers
beat anything ever known of grapes
grown in the best wine countries IN the
open air.
In Europe, they have two ways of
growing the foreign grape. They make
good, deep and rich borders; and then,
under a glass erected on the prepared
ground, grow the grapes beneath. The
other plan is, to grow the plants in
pots from ten to fourteen inches wide.
1t is remarkable that the close attention
required in the case of the pot vines,
leads to such an excellent practical re-
suit, that those who grow them this
way are often as far ahead of those who
grow in the ground under glass as these
last are ahead of those who, as vignerons,
pride themselves along the Rhine and
elsewhere, as being among the most
successful grape growers in the world.
In a recent English horticultural exhi-
bition, two plants of grape vines, grow
ing in pots, were exhibited, with thirty
two large lunches on one, and thirty
four on the other. The pots were four
teen inches in diameter.
No open ground culture could pro-
duce results like this. 1t is a useful
lesson not only for grape culture, but
for all culture. The more intimately
We know plants and their wants, such
a knowledge as this kind of culture
brings, the more profit can We make
out of them.

CHICoRY IN GROUND COFFEE. pre-
hminary examination of coffee for ad-
mixture is best made by gently strewing
the powder upon the surface of cold
water. The oil contained in coffee pre-
vents the particles from being readily
wetted by the water, thus causing them
to float. Chicory, burnt sugar, ETC.,
contain no oil, and their caramel is very
quickly extracted by the water, with
production of a brown color, while the
particles themselves rapidly sink to the
bottom of the water. On stirring the
liquid, coffee becomes tolerably uni
formly diffused without sensibly color
ing the water, while chicory and other
sweet roots quickly give a dark brown
turbid infusion. Roasted cereals do
not give so distinct color.

SCARLET GERASIuMs. - Nothing is
more showy in the flower garden or
pleasure grounds during the whole sum-
mer and autumn months, than beds or
masses of scarlet blooming geranium,
of which the old horse shoe geranium
is the original type. There are great
number Of new and very beautiful sorts,
and when they are properly grouped to-
gether on the lawn. they make q glori-
Gus display. There are few plants
more easily grown, or that better repay
the care Of the cultivator. All the kinds
require q light, rich soil, composed OF
loan. leaf mould or rotten manure and
sand. They will root readily without
either glass or bottom heat. Gardeners
generally take cuttings in autumn
months and put them into six inch pots,
well drained and filed with sand, and
placed in a cold frame. They will be
rooted in a month or five weeks, and
they should be carefully lifted and
placed in three inch pots and taken to
the greenhouse, or some sheltered place
until they begin to grow. Water occa-
sionally, until such time asthe weather
compels you to houce them. During
the winter, they require little wafer
and cool temperature. In March, shift
into five inch pots, and when the time
comes for bedding, these plants will re-
paw for all labor. As there are many
who would be glad to cultivate them
who have no greenhouse in which to
keep them, 1 will mention for the bene-
fit Of such, a very simple method which
practice occasionally with great sue
cess. As soon as the first frost nips the
foliage, take as many geranium plants
as l want, and put them into as small
pots as possible, and take them to dry
pit or cellar free from frost. Here they
remain dry until spring. When my
beds are ready, cut them to four or
five eyes of the collar, and, SO far from
injuring them, firmly believe they
flower much finer after q winters rest
than when kept in greenhouse
