Gently in the orchard Of Mr.. Barbric,
Of Plymouth, Me, and upon opening
his crop, mole than twenty nests OF
caterpillar eggs were found, showing
that the much abused bird had dined
on about 1000 or 5000 caterpillar
eggs. The crow is not only scav-

crops. The damage it sometimes
does to young corn is more than

The Sugar Beet Industry.

Frenzy and Dehorain have conducted
a series of experiments to test the rea-
sons of the decrease of richness of sugar
beets grown several years in succession
on the same soil. They find two chief
causes of the deterioration-the bad
selections of stock or variety, and excess
of nitrogenous manures. They con-
clude that argillaceous, siliceous, and
calcareous soils differ but little in their
effects upon the sugar in beets. 4
sterile soil, with no other manure than
phosphate of lime and nitrate of potash,
was able to produce normal roots weigh
ing 700-S00 grams Il 1-2-1 3-4 pounds),
and containing large amount of sugar
(sixteen per cent?. Excess OF nitrogen
ous manures injured the formation of
sugar. ...... ..'...-s- .....
The outlook for the sugar beet indus
try in this country seems to be quite
promising. 1t has already attained
great importance in California, is re-
ported as successful in Illinois, and is
engaging earnest attention in Maine.
The governor of the latter State devoted
considerable attention to the matter in
his last message to the Legislature, and
a company near Portland has already be-
gun a thorough investigation of the
probabilities of successful sugar beet
culture in that State.

Do Rats Reason z

The Boston Courier says A lady liv-
ing in this city relates that the house
occupied by herself and family became
so infested with rats that, in the failure
Of all means, they were obliged to resort
to poison to exterminate them.
Phosphorus paste was used, spread
thickly over meat, which was then placed
where the rats could readily get at it.
Pursuing this course for long time,
they were surprised to find that, while
the meat regularly disappeared, the rats
remained, their number apparently in
creasing instead of diminishing. One
day man in charge of an adjoining
stable asked who was trying to poison
rats, and, being told, replied:
The rats are too smart for YOU"
He led the lady to the alley alongside
the house, where there was hydrant,
the nozzle of which being broken of,
left the water constantly running. Under
the hydrant they saw several pieces of
meat. some partly covered, and the
others entirely destitute of any traces of
the PHOSPHORUS paste.
After watching some time, the lady
actually saw the rats not only eat the
washed meat, but carry the coated
pieces carefully in their mouths from
her back door round into the alley, and
deposit them under the running stream
of the hydrant. Our correspondent says
the rats may not have known the charac-
ter OF the coating on their meat, but
their course argues knowledge of the
properties of water, and a, power of
adapting means to ends, akin to reason.

The Quakers Diminishing,

The London Catholic Register says
We are sorry to see that our old friends,
the Quakers, are sadly diminishing in
numbers. 1t is said that there are only
10000 in England, the fourth part of
the number which fourished in this
country in the days of George Fox, their
founder. 1t seems that so soon as the
gentlemen abandoned the wide sweep of
their hats and the ladies the gaunt Sc
verify of their bonnets the popularity of
the sect gradually diminished, for there
was little left of appeal to mere vanity.
hhssed haSe SEED PeUBRsh Rehe %ahhs ri athhe i
heresies /; for beyond calling you
Friend" and somewhat antiquating
the Queens English, there was really
nothing that could be hszarded against
them. They were ritualists in dress and
in speech, but certainly not so IN doc
trine ; and perhaps they were the only
sect in which the laymen and the lay
women wore a quasi-ecclesiastical garb.
1t is an amusing and instructive little
fact that the object of their founder was
to originate sect which was to be COM
pletely without ceremonies and forms
and yet that sect has stood out from all
others i'll the one peculiarly of dress.
It is further curious that their religious
fanaticism took the form of extraordinary
gentleness SO that the very expression
of the countenance of Quaker was
soothing as still, shallow stream. They
canonized calm. Many of their men
had claims to intellect, such as Penn,
Barclay and Naylor, and some of their
women preached well, both in this coun-
try and America. However, the sect is
dried up, and, with the hats and the
bonnets and the aprons, their peculiar
tiles of creed have vanished.

Casting a BrOnZe Statue.

A correspondent who witnessed the
operation tells how bronze statues are
cast. He says: The casting of large
piece in bronze is delicate operation,
requiring care and artistic skin. The
making of plaster mold from the origi-
nal model, then plaster figure from
that mold, and finally from the figure a
sectional mold into which to run the
metal, requires many weeks of skilled
labor. The element of luck enters
largely into the eliminating attempt to
cast, as flaws in the metal often cause
failures, imposing weeks of additional
labor. Consequently the workmen en-
ployed were visibly anxious, and knot
of spectators employed the entire after
noon in interestedly watching the pro-
cess.
The large box, called a +" flask" con-
tanning the mold, clamped firmly with
iron, was let down with crane into a
cavity, and flowed over. so that only
funnel protruded. This was close to a
great brick furnace, in which the bronze
was heating over q great roaring fire.
The metal, as it was slowly converted
into liquid, was closely observed by the
foreman. A glimpse through an aper-
ture showed it boiling furiously like
water, and so hot that an iron bar stuck
into it became red almost instantly.
When the iron could be withdrawn with
out any bronze clinging to it, the COM
pound was deemed ready. An immense
metal bucket, attached to powerful
crane, was swung under the end of
spout, the furnace was tapped, and a
molten stream ran out. Sparks flew in
every direction, faces were shielded
hastily from the heat, and the dusty
plaster images of Franklin, the Wander
biIt bas relief, and other relics of previ-
GUS jobs were made to glow. The bucket
was nearly filed, turn of the crane
took it over the flask, and the liquid
was, by tipping the bucket, poured into
the mold, from which the suddenly
heated air rushed through vent pipes
with noise like escaping steam. Some
of the bronze stopped over and set fire
to the wood floor, and the water that
quenched the blaze made so much steam
that nothing else could be seen for five
minutes. The casting was perfect.

Another Dynamite Plot.

Passengers on a New York express
train that started from Philadelphia at
3:10 had narrow escape. Among the
articles of baggage checked for New
York was Saratoga trunk. It was
placed in the upper tier of trunks in the
baggage car. When the train, which
was heavy one, carrying Centennial
passengers, had passed Metuchen, about
twenty-six miles from Jersey City, the
baggage master heard terrific explo-
sion. 1t hurled the trunks around, and
threw the men in the car on the floor.
Flames burst from the pile of baggage,
setting fire to the baggage and car al
most instantaneously. The fire was
spreading rapidly, and the train was
stopped to extinguish the fire.
The remains of the trunk that had
caused the damage we're collected. The
trunk was made of thin wood. The
parts of an intricate little machine were
found among the broken boards. A
small pistol, attached by wire to the
brass works of q clock, was SO arranged
that when the hands reached the figure
twelve on the dial the pistol was dis
charged. The charge was fred into
some very infammable substance, either
dynamite or pyroxoline, that was en-
tirely consumed, and spread rapidly.
The damage will not exceed $500, but it
must have been much more but for the
fortunate placing of the trunk at the top
of the car. The internal machine was
SO shattered that its exact nature cannot
be defined. 1t was collected and taken
to the Jersey City depot, where the
train master took charge of it, pending
investigation that the railroad officials
are to make. nal 70
John Silpath, the baggage master,
says he thinks it proboble that the trunk
was either designed for the destruction
of the railroad depot, or to destroy the
train. Conductor Stockton said that he
did not hear the explosion, and did not
know why the train stopped until the
brakeman told him that the baggage car
was on fire. He thought it was intended
to do some damage in New York, as it
was more probable that it was made for
o specific purpose than to kill passen-
gers or employees on a train. He
thought it had probably been delayed.

A Successful Humbug.

A gentleman at Spa, fashionable
watering place in Belgium, writing TO
his sister in Paris, relates an amusing
feature of the place. There is the big
gest thing in the way of travelling
charlatan dentist here now (September)
1 ever saw. He comes into the town
every day at P. NJ. and stays two hours
on the "Place," selling his powders,
etc., and bidding for work. He extracts
teeth for nothing, standing on his
chariot in the open street, and does it
wonderfully well, pulls them out with a
click and says he don't hurt bit, and
don't draw blood. How is that account
ed forp He comes in with brass band
of eight men, all dressed in splendid
Chinese costume, then comes his grand
car, he driving four horses, and two
grandly dressed footmen alongside.
The Car or wagon is like circus one
only grander, all gold and plate glass.
His name is Ernault," and he comes
from Paris. He says he made 160, 900
francs last year and built house in
Paris. He is an elderly man. Alto
gether it is the biggest humbug of the
kiud ever known here. He sells pack
age lot for two francs fifty centimes
(ifty cents), box of powder, bottle
of elixir, which is a wonderful styptic,
and toothache drops, and book on the
teeth and other things. ....
If this man sold these things in SEN
sible manner for twenty-five sous, his
bottles and his boxes might go begging
for purchasers.
