Spontaneous Combustion ise Hay.

There are doubtless many farmers who have
experienced sudden and destructive confagra-
tions in their hay lofts, which could not be as
cribed to any exterior agency. Barns have
been known to burst into flame, almost without
warning, save perhaps a significant odor, for a
few days previously, around the places where
the hay was stored, and a summers harvest is
swept away in as many minutes as it has taken
days to gather it. These unexpected confagra-
tions are generally accredited to tramps who
have made the hay loft their sleeping resort
but it is now asserted that such calamties are
frequently due to the spontaneous combustion
of the hay, a circumstance theoretically quite
possible, but rarely considered. Able Moigno,
in Les MondeS, gives the following as the theory
of the phenomenon Hay, when piled damp
and III TOO large masses, ferments and turns
dark. In decomposing, sufficient heat is de-
veoped to be insupportable when the hand is
thrust into the mass, and vapors begin to be
emitted. When the water is almost entirely
evaporated, the decomposition continues, and
the hay becomes carbonized little by little =
and then the charred portion, like peat, peat
cinders mixed charcoal, sulphurous pyrites and
Ignite, etc., becomes kind of pyrophorus, by
virtue of its great porosity and of the large
quantity of matter exposed to high oxidation.
Under the influence of air in large amount, this
charcoal becomes concentrated on the surface
to such degree that the mass reaches tenn
perature which results in its bursting into
flames.
The preventves for this danger are care that
the hay in the lofts is kept perfectly dry, that
it is we'll packed, and that it is stored in small
heaps rather than in large masses.-Scientifc

@-A California farm, purchased two years
ago for $4,000, was sold not long since by its
owners for 1900. During the term Of their
possession they had raised $4,000 worth of
wheat upon it.

HOUSING THE FAMILY CARRIAGE.-There is
common and very vexatious complaint from
parties who store their carriages in the same
building with their horses, or in damp carriage
houses, ofpoor varnish. This will happen even
after the best material and varnish have been
used, for no varnish can stand the action of the
steam arising in a stable where horses are kept
When vanished carriage is exposed to an at
mosphere of ammonia, arising from manure or
decaying vegetable matter, the alkaii unites
with the oil of the varnish, forming an almost
imperceptble flament of soap, which. when
the carriage is washed, dissolves in the water
and is removed, leaving fresh surface to be
again acted on by the ammonia, so that the oil
is gradually removed from the varnisb, leaving
the brittle gum to look like rosin and crum BILE
away. Therefore, dry, clean carriage house,
entirely separated from the stable or stable
manure, is the first thing required, and second
~, to have it re-varnished when it is required,
which is as often as once a year if the carriage
is in continual use.-Coack Makers Journal

WOLF TEETH IN HoRsEs.-Mr. Horn, veteri-
nary surgeon of GAINESVILLE, Wis, has made an
examination of thousand horses, with a view
to settling the question as to whether the So
called teeth injurious to the eye. Out of
1913 animals examined, he found IL blind in
both eyes, blind in one eye emily, 81 having an
affection of one eye, or both eyes, s out of that
number being nearly blind. The whole amount
of wolf teeth was PIG, only one of the mum Der
had false molar; and only animal with
of the eye.
Dr. Horn regards this as settling the question
positively that those teeth do not do any injury
whatever to the eyes, and this conclusion is
certainly qualified by his statement of fact -

A BIRD'S-EYE VIEW OF DANISH
POLITICS.

A late number of Dagbladet contains a
leading article giving a kind of bird's-eye
view OF the political affairs of the mother
country from the stand point of the Right.
From this article we select a few items.
It was recently said in the Lower House
that the difference of the demands in the
line of reforms between both sides of the
House was in no particular very great.
When, however, no agreement could be
arrived at, the cause was to be attributed
to the manner in which the claims oil the
Left were made. This is a truth that has
often been r'peated, says Dagbladet, but
it can bear repetition, just on account of
its being an indisputable truth. If a Dam
ish politician, the paper goes on to say,
were suddenly reused out of his sleep and
asked to tell stante pede what the quarrel
was about, he would easily be put in a
painful dilemma, for it requires both a
good memory and a perfectly lucid mind
to recollect, not indeed on your fingers
ends, but so as not to be entirely put to

THE "AVIS."


According to the st. Thomas papers of
the 18th the English Mails were expected
at st. Thomas on the morning of the 10th
with the " Nile" The Vigilant did not
leave here before II o'clock the same
day, and must have arrived too late in St.
Thomas to get the mails, which arrived
here via Frederiksted yesterday afternoon,
too late for our making any extracts from
the files of papers received. We issue a
supplement, aud beg our readers to notice
once for all that it may often happen that
the supplement will contain matter of as
much Or more interest to them than the
chief paper, either in the shape of news,
correspondence, or otherwise. The postal
arrangements do not, however, allow of
its being distributed at Frederiksted's Post
Office when it happens not to be in time to
follow the chief paper-such is the reguIa-
rity required by the Westend Branch of
that Institution.
