Experiments sith Steel.-M. Treve
has communicated tO the AcadamIe
des Sciences the results of experiments
made by himself aud NJ. Durassier. on
the cOneectiOn which exists between
the nature of steel and its magnetic
force, which results are of peculiar in
terest and value.
1t appears that fifteen bars of steel
were selected, which were divided into
FIVE sets, each of these receiving a dif-
ferent temper, after which NJ. Treve
magnetized them to saturatioD, and
then determined their magnetic force
by the method of deviation. Thus,
those bars which contained $50 per
cent of carbon, and which were har-
dened i'm cold water, gave a maximum
of deviation represented by the num-
ber Al; whilst bar with the same
amount of carbon, but hardened in
boiling water, gave the number A I;
and third bar, also with the same
of carbon, but hardened in oil of fifty
degrees temperature, only gave forty
three, showing that the fluid used in
hardening exerts an influence.
The effect of tine amount of carbon
contained in the steel is also established
for, whilst the maximum of deviation
of the above mentioned bars. which
contained $50 Der cent. of carbon, was
fonnd to be Al, other bars containing
$50 per cent. of carbon only showed a
deviation of thirteen. In laying down
the curves of variation, the Influence
of the amount of the carbon and of the
hardening media was sensible enough,
but the effect of the latter appears to
have been smaller in proportion as the
former increased, and NJ. Treve has
ascertaiued the fact that the magnetic
curve of a steel bar comedies with its
curve of elasticity, thus showing that
carbon not only gives to steel its elias
ticity, but also its magnetic capacity, a
fact which is of much importance In
the treatment of steel and its various
applications.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF
LIME.-Soils that are light and deficient
in vegetable matter are made worse by
lime. Let one for instance take strip
of Jersey land-light enough TO satisfy
anybody-and lime il, and he will soon
have as poor a strip of land 10 operate
on as anyone could desire to experiment
with. A piece of sand saturated with
iron rust or oxide of iron, could not
be poorer. And this is true of lime on
any kind of light land. Lime tells TO
best affect on heavy land always, but
only here when in connection with
vegetable matter.
Indeed taking a practical view of
things irrespective of any chemical
language or, chemical theories, we
should say that lime simply acted as an
agent in preparing vegetable matter
10 be food for plants. In farm language
it seats" the vegetable waste and half
digests it, and it is then in better condi-
tion to be made use of by the roots of
the regular farm crops. Thus, if we
are about 10 plow up piece OF old sol,
we lime It a little before we plow il
down, or we lime piece of stubble for
the same reason. The lime affects the
vegetable material in the soil, and the
plants feeding on it are able to get as
much profit from it in one year As from
the unlimed land in two. Lime indeed
adds nothing or but little TO the rich
ness of land, but makes the natural
richness more available. In other
words il is an excellent aid in land al
ready rich, but the poorest thing posi-

No USE TRYING.-The good father
who secures a prescription from the
family physician for medicine to
brighten up little Willie, VINO hasn't
been well for three or four days, will
put the bottle i'm his coat-tail pocket
nine times out of ten. When he takes
the car to go home to dinner he will
drop down on that bottle, smashing il
fine or working the cork out, and as the
odOr of paregoric fills the car it will be
a sad hour for him, and there's no use
i'm his trying to keep a scOwl between
his eyes and make believe il is the
grease under the car that smells so.
One man will sniff and snuff and look
around, and next instant will yell out
"whO upset that jag2"
There is no jug, and the old woman
beside him knows it, but she will sniff
and snuff and mutter-
''Seems to be they are tearing down a
distillery somewhere"
Then man with a red neck and
freckled nose must look up from his
paper and say
''There ought to be a law against per-
hitting drunken men to ride on street
cars"
Every one getting off will sing out
"Whew!" and every one getting on
will stick up their noses and inquire OF
the conductor. if he has a sick man in
the car. The feelings of the good father
are shown in his face, but he hangs to
his seat all through until the bad boy
found on every car has his say. The
boy has waited for all exclamations and
inquiries to cease, and when the proper
time arrives Ire stands up, gives himself
a shake, looks at the vict IN, and re-
marks:-

Gudnine-The perfectly white sOlu-
ton of the scales OF the bleak, (teucis-
Gus diburnus), a fish indigenous To the
rivers of France, is now used largely
for the manufacture of artificial pearls.
The solution of guaniDe Is Il mucus
whi0i lubricates the scales of the fish.
lt cOagulates by heat to a thick, white
deposit, and is obtained by carefully
scraping the fish over a shallow tub
containing fresh water. Care is taken
not to scale the back or dOrsal part, as
these scales are yellow, while the
white scales possess the value. The
material is received on a hOrsehair
sieve. The first water, mixed with a
little blood is thrown away. The scales
are then washed aud pressed, when the
mu,u or essence (guanine) sinks TO
the bottom of the tub and appears as Il
very brilliant blue white oily mass. 1t
takes 10000 fish to furnish two pounds
of the material. The fishermen seal it
in tin boxes with ammonia, and In this
condition send it to Paris. If drop
of tue essence be taken up by straw
and let fall upon water. it floats, giving
forth the most brilliant cOlOrs. Mere
glass bulbs, in shape of pearls. lined
with this substance initiate the real
gems with remarkable clOseness.

PROFITS on sHEEP.-An extensive

IA cents per pound which sells at 80
cents. His wethers average Tbs. Ia
the fleece, giving a new profit of SLIP
TO each head on the wool. The profit
on the ewes, including lambs is much
more than this. The report says: "He
had been satisfied for some time that
the better the sheep, the better they
paid: but these facts, which were taken
from his own experience had satisfied
him that those who kept thoroughbred
sheep had a great advantage over those
who kept sheen whose tleecess were not
of first quality. He had kept sheep at
first whose fleeces only yielded Abs. on
an average, and they conaumed just as
much as sheep that produced lbs. p"
Wool growers have TO take into considG-
ton not only the quality of the wool
but the sale of sheep for mutton; and
as mutton sheep the Merinos are not
profitable.

CROPS NOT ACREs-A good soil rarely
fans, even in a poor season of return
ing a paying income for the labor ex-
pended upon it in the cultivation of
any crop adapted to it.
The idea that the number of acres in
crops indicates the farmers income
must be abandoned, and the number of
bushels per acre must be looked for in-
stead. There is certainly less profit in
blowing fifty acres, to raise one thou
sand bushels of grain, than in plowing
twenty-five to grow the same amount,
aud trusting TO good seasons for fair
crops will not be thought of by the i'm
proved farmer. A rich and well culti-
waited soil will usually make fair re-
turns in what we call bad or uufavora-
BILE seasons. What the farmer on poor
soil would call a good season seldom
comes.
