Plant Anaesthesia.-The curious dis
covery has recently been made that
anasthesia may take place not only In
animals but in plants, and, in brief,
in all forms of life 1t has been demon
strated that etherizatiOn acts finally on
all the tissues of animals and on the
central nervous system. Hence, II
plants have tissues, the an9sthetlc
should equally act on them. This sub,
stantlally appears to be the case: and
every vital act, whether occurring In
animal or vegetable, may be an4sthet-
ised. In plants, NJ. Claude Bernard, to
whom is due the credit of the discov-
ery, has found that termination ceases
under the influence of ether. He ln-
troduced water crosses. which germi-
nate from day oday, into twopreclsely
similar tubes. In one tube he placed
little ether. The plant therein on the
following day was found not to
have terminated, as the other
mad; but after being removed
from the an2sthetic, the first went on
and terminated in natural manner.
The plant had been literally put to
sleep.
The same is true of ferments; for
beer yeast, after contact with ether Tor
twenty four hours, completely loses Its
activity, and yet regains IL as soon as
the etheriza.ion is stopped.

SCIENTIFIC

Cheese Factories in ERgland.-British
farmers are nOtOriOusly slow to accept
innovations, and this MAJ be said with
out fear of hurting their feelings, as
they are well aware of it, and in fact
rather pride themselves on their con-
servatism. But they are now moving
in direction which possesses some iu-
terest to Canadian farmers. The Uni
ted States and Canada may be said to
have absolute possession OF the Brl-
tish cheese market except for certain
fine brands with which we do not COM
pete. Our factory system has already
made its way into Britain, and is as
successful there as it is here. And now
they are going to adopt another for our
institutions. the DaIrymen's Associa-
ton. Certain leading spirits think it a
shame that English cheese makers can
be beaten in their own markets, and
they are going to leave no stone un-
turned in the attempt to regain posses
sion. Dear land and high taxes will
operate against them just as distance
will against us. The future will show
whether the new British Dairymen' g
Association, which was formally iDsti-
tuted at Birmingham recently, will
enable the farmers over the water to
drive us out of their markets. We
oplne. says the Canadian Farmer. that
it will not. Nevertheless, it is never
well to have only one string to ones
bow. The move of our English breth-
rem should teach us to he on the alert
for new markets. And if it should also
direct our energies more to the manu-
iacture of butter by the factory sys-
TEN, it will benefit US as much as II
will them.

Help each Oiher.-A father was walk

children. The wind was blowing over
fine field of ripe corn, and making
the beautiful golden ears wave like the

children, that the wind does not break
the slender stalks of the corn 7"

how flexible the stalks are They

when it has passed over them. See,
too, how they help to support each

bent to the ground, but so many grow

had sold pair of ear drops to young

for the purpose of piercing her ears, as
she had never worn rings before. Last

il might have resulted more seriously,

Oceanic Blrds.-Ihe sub family OF
web-footed birds known to biologists
as the prOceiidrinR contains several ge-
nerd. the best known of which are pro-
ceiidrid or petrol proper, and thdtdssi-
dron.a or stormy petrol. The name pc
trel is derived from Peter. in remem-
brance of the apostles walking on the
water, a characteristic of the bird.
The species are about twelve in num-
Der, and inhabit the oceans of both
hemispberes, skimming lightly over
the waves or running lightly along
their tops; they are dark IN color, but
more or less marked with white. The
presence of these birds Is supposed by
mariners to forebOde stormy weather.
and they are never molested by sailors,
as their warnings are usually accepted
in perfect faith; they are found all
across the Atlantic, especially in the
temperate zone, and are common on
the banks of Newfoundland. They
breed on rocky shores aud islands, in
the North Atlantic.
On the Shetland Isles, Scotland, they
begin to lay toward the end of June,
depOsiting single egg in a nest made
of plants aud earth, which they care
fully conceal, sometimes placing It
three OF four feet under a heap of
stones. The naturalist Bruennich
states these birds become SD fat that
the inhabitants of the FarOe islands at
tach wicks To them and burn them as
Lamps.

Boy Nature.-I have thought that
the boy is the only true lover or Ma
ture, and that we who make such a
dead set at studying OF admirIng her
come very wide of the mark. The
nonchalance of boy who is sure of
his dinner" says our Emerson, lis the
healthy attitude of humanity" The
boy is "a part of Nature he is as lndIt-
ferent, as careless, as vagrant as she.
He browses, he digs, he hunts, he
climbs. he halloes. he feeds on roots,
aud green's, and mast. lie uses things
roughly and without sentiment. The
GOODNESS with which boys Will drown
dogs OF cats, or hang them to trees. or
murder young birds, or torture frogs
or squirrels, Is like natures own mer-
cilessness.
Certain it is that we often get some
of the best touches of Nature from
children. Childhood is world by it
self, and we listen to children when
they frankly speak ont of it with a
strange interest. There is such free
dom from responsibility and from
worldly wisdom-it is heavenly wisdom.
There is no sentiment in children, be-
cause there is no ruin nothing has
gone to decay about them yet-nOt a
leaf or twig. Until he is well into his
teens, and sometimes later, a boy is like
a bean pod before the fruit has devel-
oped-indeinite, succulent, rich In
possibilities which are only vaguely
outlined. He is pericarp merely.
How rudimental are all his ideas. /

Mr.. EDITOR We do not suppose the
public are particularly interested in the
private business of Stearns e. Jones, but
when they assail the facts published by

must be told. In respect to the New
Hampshire Fire Insurance Company. the
agency was not given up or surrendered
voluntarily, bnt was pre-cmptorily can
cclled by the company, nearly a year be-
fore it actually went out Of the State. If
they have always paid their-losses in full
as stated, we can mention some parties
living within a short distance Of their Of
flee who would be glad to know it and
receive the balance due them. $1,000 for
a loss of 5000, and 81 400 for loss S2400
don't make 100 cents on the dollar ut any
agency but theirs. If by any accident,
errors creep into items, we do not object
to corrections, if proper regard is paid
to the truth.
