RECESsEs.
Give a recess OF FIVE or ten minutes every
hour. Experience shows this to be the best
way. fyour pupils live far distant, one half
hours lntermisslon is enough, unlessthey go
home for dinner.
Allow no disorder in the school room at any
recess, save ordinary talking Compel every
one to march out orderly, and then allow
them to return if they wish All hats, caps
and cloaks, belong in the closet, if there be
one. Allow none to keep on shawls or over
clothing in school 1t is injurious Boys
should not wear belts nor straps to confne
the coat during school hours. During recess,
the pupils should procure drinking water
sufficient to last an hour. Allow no drinking
during school hours. The constant running
out can be avoided with hourly reoesses. Al
low none, unless the pupil will lose the next
recess, as penalty. Speaking and leaving
seats, are obsolete relics Of the past. Allow
none. From "Circular of Information No. 1 -

70 Remove Oil rom a Garment.

ABOUT six months ago careless
painter dropped about a spoonful of
boiled linseed oil or our pants, which
were handed over to the housekeeper
with a request that the oil be removed.
The job was neglected for over four
months. After the lapse of SO long a
period the oil had become dry and hard.
The emphatic judgment of every one
was that all effort 70 remove that dry
oil would avail nothing. But, being

piled. A piece of smooth sheet iron
was placed within he leg of the pants
opposite the smoothing iron, to pre-
vent the liquid from being absorbed by
the cloth where there was no oil.
After two days moe had passed, nore
ammonia was applied. After another
day the dry oil was so soft that soft

The Great Gun OF the Duilio.

A correspondent of the London
Times gives the following account of
the manner in which the great 10O-ton
gun Of the Italian ironclad DuiliO will
be loaded:
1.-The next point is the loading ar
rangements. Think Of the difficulty to
be overcome Here is a turret ,ex-
posed to the fire Of the enemy's small
arms and shrapnel, and the gun is so
long that its m,Hzle is always outside
the turret. Into that muzzle must be
a sponge to clean it, jet of water to
wash it, and eXtinguish any remains
of fire left from the discharge, a car
ridge weighing at least rs much as two
heavy men, and shot the weight of
which falls little short Of a ton; and
all this must be done quickly with
avoidance of all nervousness. a shot
must be properly rammed home, lest
the gun should be strained or even
burst.
t"Here, again, comes to the aid of
the artillerist the silent, calm, irreSiSt-
ible force Of water. 4 The muzzle of
the gun is depressed till it comes OPP
posite round iron door leading below
the deck. The door, which is covered
from the enemies fire by hood
formed by sloping plates of iron,
glides back, and the head of an enor-
nous sponge appears, carried III trent
of metal rod. Swiftly and silently it
enters the bore of the gun, frightening
itself like telescope till it reaches the
bottom of the bore, when a spring is
touched, a valve opens and a deluge of
water rusheS from the head of the
sponge, extinguishing every possible
trace of fire. Obedient to the touch of
one man on handle, the sponge will
advance and retire as often as is willed,
then withdrawn, leaving room for the
cartridge to appear. Cartridge and
shot are safe below the deck, each shot
with its charge on a separate truck in
the magazine always slowed III readi-
ness for use at the moment of action.
"A word from the turret causes the
truck with its freight Of ammunition
to be run out on small trap-door on
the main deck. Instantly the door
rises, till the cartridge is in the turret
between the sponge head and the gun,
which receives it by short, quick
thrust of the sponge-head, now be-
come hammer. Another short lift
by the same power, always water, and
the shot is in front of the muzzle. The
sponge hammer then sends home the
shot and charge together perfectly
steadily, and always by means of the
water power. Before going further,
let us mark peculiarly in the car
fridge. 1t is not solid. A hollow
cone of brass runs up from its base to
its center, and near the center only
does the ignition take place through the
vent, which is in rear of the gun in
the axis line"

In a Bonanza.

1t only takes five minutes. You step
into the cage, and the hand that
guides the Titan at the surface touch
es the rein of the black monster, and
you are plunging into the gloom. In
moment the lights of earth 60 out
by the glare of lanterns you know
you are passing dripping timbers; the
sounds from above grow fainter and
cease; the vapOrS rise around you as
from caldron; you hear now and
then rumble in the deeps, as though
the dark spirits below were complain
ing that their treasures were being
d thus taken away; you listen, expecting

and then the cage stops, and you are
more than a quarter of mile below
the busy city which you just few
moments before left; from the dusty
highway you have stepped into the
worlds grandest treaSure-house; you
have passed from the temperate to the
in a Bonanza. 1t takes but little
space to complete the transition; 1t
takes but moment to describe 1T;
but the change is wonderful, and, 10
one of thoughtful mind, the
wonder increases with each re-
turning visit. 1t is no little
thing to work mine 1880 feet be-
low the surface. True, there are
broad avenues there; broad timbers
which like Atlas seem competent to
support the worlo upon their broad
backs; there are engineers at work
and cars running: but every glimpse
of man there reveals the exertion
necessary to keep this conflict with the
spirits which guard the buried treasure
below. The men are stripped to the

spiration bursting from every pore,

A MOST interesting example of the
effect of the demand of a mechanical
product in securing supply is cited
by the Scientific AMe1icdn recent
inventors experience in his endeavors
to procure steel springs of great size
and power. 1t appears that an En-
glish inventor had been actively en-
gagged for some time in the construc
ton of tramway car, to be run by
the motive power exerted by steel
springs; the reports now stating that,
since his earlier experiments, Mr.. Le-
yeaux had, by indefatigable persever-
ance. induced the spring makers really
to astonish themselves by their pro-
ductions. Thus, a band of steel has
been rolled which. when tempered into
a spring, will give draft of 5000
pounds; another single band of steel
has been rolled having width of four
inches and length of ls4 feet. In the
application of this spring power. the
services of stationary engines will be
needed to wind them up, and there
must needs be decided loss by fric-
ton: and the problem is simply
whether the gain by the use of this ST.
lent power will offset the loss above
indicated. 4..

Forest Tree Seeds.

7 The numerous inquiries, as to the
treatment of seeds show, that much
interest is felt in the raising of forest
trees. We repeat the suggestions made
once before, that unless one is intend
ing to plant largely, or has abundant
time to devote to his seed beds, it will
generally be cheaper to purchase seed
ling trees than to raise them. There are
several nurseries which make special
ty of seedlings of forest trees, and offer
them at exceedingly low prices. We
here cOndense a few points for those
who wish to grow trees from the seed.
OF the trees generally planted II few
ripen their seed in late spring or early
summer the seed, if kept until the fol
lowing spring, will be worthless, hence
it must be sown Immediately after it is
gathered. The Red Maple, deer
rub7en), the Silver or White Maple
"a. ddSyca'ptn,) and the Lin (Ul,n,ts
Americana) have this popularity, and
whoever would raise these must make
arrangements to procure the seeds rs
soon as ripe, and SOW them us soon as
received. If the seeds are good they
terminate promptly and make nice little
trees by autumn. There are many
tree seeds that may be sown in the
fall, but there is so much risk of loss
by mice and from other causes that it
is generally preferred to keep them
until spring. Much depends upon the
manner of keeping through the winter.
All the Hickories, the Black Walnut
and the Butternut are best kept in
heaps made upon the ground and
covered first with sods, and then few
inches of earth, or in the absence of
sods layer Of bog-hay or straw
may be placed over the nuts, and
the earth heaped over that. Nearly
all other seeds, including thin-shelled
nuts, like chestnutS and acorns,
are best preserved in sand. The sand
should not be wet, nor should it be
perfectly dry; it should feel slightly
damp when handled; sand as it is
thrown out of the bank in dry wealth
er is often in proper condition of
moisture. The object is to prevent the
nuts from drying, and to separate
them that there will be no danger of
heating; if the sand is too moist the
seeds will rot. The seeds should usu-
ally be mixed with twice their bulk of
sand and be well distributed through
it. For small quantities of seeds in
sand we have found flower-pots with
the holes plugged up, very conven-
lent. The seeds of many trees will
terminate freely if kept dry like gar
den seeds until spring, but the use of
sand is safer. They should be kept in
cool place through the winter, and
with some very hard-shelled seeds it
is well to let them freeze and thaw a
few times. The seeds of evergreens
are best kept if allowed to remain in
their cones, though, if fresh, they
generally keep well when removed.
Much of the failure with these is due
to sowing too late.
Cuttings of willows, cottonwoods
and other trees raised in this manner.
should be foot or so long and about
half an inch in diameter. These are
best cut in the fall or early winter.
