AMERICAN SoDA.-One hundred and
eighteen thousand tuns of crude soda
at fifty dollars per tun is reported as
about the annual Importation of this
salt, used, as our readers know. in the
manufacture of soap, glass, and other
articles of general consumption. This
will convey some idea of the importance
of the great and wonderful natural de-
posits of carbonate of soda, which have
been found in the West, six hundred
miles beyond Omaha, and forty miles
north of the Union Pacific Railway.
Deposits of soda are here found in all
stages and conditions. Ia some cases.
alkaline lakes are encountered, the
water saturated with the carbonate.
One especial deposit, of many acres in
extent, consists of a crust of carbonate
of soda more than six feet deep, under
which is strong alkaline liquid. This
great deposit lies there, waiting for
people to come and take it away. In
quantity there is enough to supply the
wants Of the world for an age. In
quality it is superior to the crude article
now manufactured, as it contains twenty
per cent more of carbonate of soda
while in cost it is very cheap, as it may
be delivered in New York, when the
railway to the deposits is opened, for
thirty dollars per tun. The soda trade
is evidently destined to change. Instead
of employing vessels to bring the pro-
duct here, We shall soon fill them with
improved cargoes of the article to 90
abroad.

CONDENSATION IN STEAM CYLINDERS.
BY the use of lead facings to pistons
and cylinder lids, considerable
economy in the use of steam may be
effected. An iron lid and piston will,
other things being equal, condense
more than three times as much steam
us a lead-faced piston and lid. The
thickness of metal heated and cooled at
each stroke is not considerable, and not
far into the metal, zone of constant
temperature, lower than that of the
steam, will be found. The distance
from this zone to the inside of the
cylinder will depend on the conducting
power of the metal, and will be about
9 for lead to II for iron. 1t may be
shown that, in any case, the thickness
of the lead facing may be kept within
very moderate limits. Other materials
may be used for the same purpose, as,
for instance, tin, the specific heat of
which is 0'562, its specific weight being
a little less than that of iron. Its con-
ducting power is, however, in excess of
that of iron, being as Is is to IL. Slate
or hard pottery ware might also be en-
ployed, but on the whole the balance OF
advantage appears to lie with lead.

Encouraging TO Young Speakers.

From Charles Francis Adams Memoirs Of his
Father.
To many who remember him by the
grand title Of his later years, ''the Old
Man Eloquent" it will doubtless be a
surprise to read in this book how in
eloquent he was as young man; and
through what notifications and fail
ures and tolls he passed in order to
acquire his wonderful powers as a de-
batter. Thus, under date of 18th Janu-
airy, 1905, when he was member of
the Senate, he writes ''On this Occa-
sion, as on almost every other, felt
most sensibly my deficiency as an ex-
temporaneous speaker. 1t is
slowness of comprehensiOn-an incapa-
city to grasp the whole compass of a
subject to the mind at once with such
an arrangement as leaves a proper i'm
preston of the detail-an incapacity to
form ideas properly precise and definite
with the rapidity necessary to give thee
uninterrupted utteranoe. My manner,
therefore, is slow, hesitating, and often
much confused. Sometimes, from in
ability to furnish the words to finish a
thought commenced, begin a sentence
with propriety and finish 1t with nom
sense. Sometimes, after carrying
through an idea of peculiar force to its
last stage, the want of proper word at
the close drives me to use one which
throws the whole into burlesaue. And
sometimes the most important details
of an argument escape my mind at the
moment when ! want them, though
ever ready to present them before and
after. And hence in making the tran
sition from one part of it to the other,
l am often compelled to take e minute
or two for recollection, which leaves a
chasm of silence always disagreesble to
the hearers. must, therefore, never
hatter myself with the hope of oratori-
cal distinction. At the same time, it is
possible that by continual exertions,
application, and self-censure, part of
the i'll effects of these infirmities may
be remedied." Surely in these words,
and in the latter career of "the Old
Man Eloquent. there is material for
instruction and for encouragement for
many youthful aspirant after oratori-
cal distinction.

TRoILIrE.-The above name is given
to sulphuret of iron largely found il
meteorites. The majority of mineral
ogists have considered the substance as
a protosulphuret of iron, but such, ac-
cording to note recently presented to
the French Academy of Sciences by NJ.
Daubree, appears not to be its true
constitution. The proper formula is
said to be Fe7 So. There is a variety
of mineral known as magnetic pyrites,
or pyrothene, found at Horbach, in
Baden, in specimens identical, both in
composition and density, with those
which fall from interplanetary spaces.
This conclusion is strengthened by
chemical analysis, as the protosulphur-
cts possess certain properties which
render them readily recognized. Under
the influence, for example, of bisulphate
of potash, the pyfothene gives off sui
phuretted hydrogen. This the meteoric
mineral does not do.

EARLY ONIONS. that are tax
ing the lead in our market this summer,
both for earliness and quality, are the
new italian varieties, resently intro
duced into this country by our enter
prising seedsmen. Sown last August,
and lightly covered with manure during
the winter, they were ready to pull for
green onions quite early, and were full
grown early in the summer. The Early
Flat White Italian Tripoli, and Large
Blood Red italian Tripoli are said to be
the best varieties. Our market garden
ers would do well to investigate their
merits.

The NEW PANACEA.-Modern science
having demonstrated that alcohol is
"neither food nor physic," but, on the
contrary, a species of poison, the intro.

tirely free from it is certainly subject
for congratulation. DIR. WALKERS
VINEGAR BTTrERs is a medicine which
may be fairly characterized as an nm
Objectionable specific for many dis
tressing and dangerous diseases.
Temperance organizations, heretofore
in favor of permitting the sale of alco-
hol for medical purposes, are of the
opinion that VINEGAR BITTERs possesses
all the efficacy as an invigorant that has
ever been even claimed for spirituous
stimulants, and on this account, as well
as because of the singular success which
has attended its use in dyspepsia, liver
complaint, disorders of the bowels,
nervous diseases, general debility, and
all maladies growing out of intemper-
ance, they warmly recommend it as q
restorative and Alternative of SURPRISING

VALUE OF Com FOR Hoes. - As
another evidence of the increased pro-
fit of feeding corn ON the farm to swine
over selling the grain in market, a
writer in the Cincinnati Gazette gives
the following: In August, 1872, 1 bought
thirty-seven head of hogs at four dollars
per cSt., the average weight being 126
pounds. Cost of the lot, SlS6 As. On
Dec. 10, when l sold them, the average
weight was go fbs.; or gain of IA
lbs. per head. They ate twelve bushels
of corn apiece. This, at twenty-five
cents per bushel, would be three dollars.
The total cost of the hogs. when fat
tened, was, therefore, S297.4 sold
them at four dollars per cwt., amount
ing to S599 60. Balance in favor of
feeding, Sl0l.12. By feeding my corn,
it brought me nearly forty-eight cents
per bushel.

DIVERSIFIED AGRICULTURAL Geor-
gian farmer says that he has found that
diversified agriculture paid him best.
He had twenty-five acres in turnips. His
premium acre produced LISP bushels,
but the average was 1000 bushels per
acre. He planted two pounds of seed
per acre, three feet apart, on clover
sod. He used /, 500 pounds of South
Carolina phosphate, and 1000 bushels
of stable manure. He broke up the
ground ten inches deep, and turned over
the sod in June. He found clover and
COW peas excellent fertilizers.

PRUNING ToMAToEs.-That tomatoes
are benefited by pruning We have not
the slightest doubt, and we yearly prac-
tice 1t in our own garden. Some re-
commend and others practice cutting
off all the tops of the plants, to which
We most strongly object, as we are
satisfied that such course is very in
furious to the plants, as well as to the
perfect ripening of the fruit. As the
tomato begins to grow, select say three
or four of the strongest shoots, pinch
all the others out, should there be any,
by the finger and thumb, close to the
main stem. When these four branches
begin to show fruit, a small lateral
branch will show itself Immediately at
the next joint. These should all be
pinched ont as fast as they appear, let
ting no shoots grow at any time, but
the four main branches referred to !:
by so doing, whether the plants are
tied to stakes or laid on the ground,
We have always found that we secured
a larger, finer, and at the same time a
heavier crop than we could by any other
process obtain.

There is, it appears, in the juice of fir

LITTLE THINGs.-From the highest
point of view-that is, from Gods point
of view-to him, nothing is great, moth
ing small, as We measure it. The worth
and the quality of an action depend not
on its prominence, or on any other OF
the accidents which We are always apt
to adopt as the tests of the greatness OF
our deeds. The largeness of the con-
sequence of anything We do is no measure
of the true greatness or true value of it.
So it is in regard to God himself and
his doings. To him, for his loftiness,
there is nothing high; to him, for his
gentleDess, there is nothing low. He
as gladly stands by the sick bed, and
binds up the broken-hearted, as he
