HARDENING STEEL.


AS the hardness depends on the
quickness with which it is cooled
there are better materials than water,
which, besides, gives an unequal tenn
per, the steam bubbles developed in
terrupting contact another thing,
water is a bad conductor of heat, ard
if the bubbling aud heat do not put it
in motion it would. be unfit for har-
deniDg. Water, with plenty of ice in
it, gives harder temper; small tools
may be stuck into a piece of ice. as
jewellers and watch-makers insert
them in piece of scaling wax. Oil
is also used by them as being better
than water, as it does not cvaporate so
easily. The d. mascus steel blades are
tempered in q strong current of cold
air, passing through a-narrow Slit
This gives q much more uniform tenn
perature than water. But the most
effective liquid is the only liquid met
al-mercury. This being a good con-
ductor of heat-in fact the very best
liquid conductor, and the only cold
one-appears to be the best liquid for
harde ming steel cutting tools. The best
steel, when forged into shape and
hardened in mercury, will cut almost
any thing. We haye seen articles
made from ordinary steel, which have
been hardened and tempered to deep
straw color, turned with comparative
ease with cutting tools from good too
steel hardened in mercury. Beware
of inhaling the Yapor while hardening

THE SIZE OF MARS, MOONS.

Mars has been repeatedly examined
with the most powerful telescopes un-
der most favorable conditions. When
nearest to us he is about thirty-five
millions of miles from the earth. Ju.
piter when nearest is eleven times
further from US.
So that if Mars had moon as large
as the least of Jupiter's, or in other
words, about as large as our own
moon, it would look one hundred and
twenty-one times larger than the least
of Jupiter's moons. would exceed
that moon in brightness in much
greater degree. because Mars is much
nearer to the sun than Jupiter Is, and
therefore receives much more light.
In fact Mars receives about nine times
as much light as Jupiter. Thus q
moon of his as large as ours would
shine fully one thousand times as
brightly as the least of Jupiters.
But the least of Jupitcrs moons can
be seen with the smallest telescope
ever used for astronomical purposes.
The telescopes which have been turn
ed on Mars without finding any satel-
lite are fully two hundred times more
powerful as light-gathercrs than the
smallest, SO that q moon showing a
disk l-2OO. 900 part of that which would
be shown bya Martian moon as large
as ours ought to be easily seen in the
largest astronomical telescopes. From
this it follows that if Mars has moon
whose diameter is greater than about
the four hundred and hftieth part of
our moons, that moon ought no more
to escape observation with the power
full telescopes directed upon Mars
than the moons of Jupiter escaped un-
der the scrutiny of Galileo's telescopes.
But that is as much as to say that
Mars can have no moon more than five
miles in diameter. Astonishing
though this may seem, it will be read
lily perceived to be just when we con-
slider that according to the estimates
of Mr.. Stone, formerly a chief assist
ant at the Greenwich Observatory,th the
diameters Of some Of the smallest of
the minor planets are less than twen-
ty miles and yet those much farther
away than Mars, have been detected
with telescopes by no means the most
powerful OF those employed by astron-
omers. In fact, some Of the telescopes
turned upon Mars are altogether 100
large and cumbrous TO be used i'm
searching for small planets.
We do not know how large the two
moons OF Mars which have just been
discovered actually are. As yet we
haye only the news Of their discovery,
and that they travel at distances of
about $500 and about 5000 miles
from the center Of Mars, in periods of
about thirty hours and about fifteen
hours respectively. But as the dis
tahoe of 1880 miles from the center
of Mars corresponds to a distance of
more than 1850 miles from his sur
face, or fully two and half times his
diameter, there seems no reason why
the glare of the planet itself should
have concealed the outer satellite from
view. We are compelled, therefore,
to conclude that this satellite-and
probably the other, also-must be
very small. We shall be surprised if
it has diameter of more than ten
miles, and as we have said, if it has
diameter of five miles it ought to have
been discOyered sooner.-[ London
Spectator.

PoIsoN.-This is the season when
great numbers of people indulge in
the pleasures of rambles in the woods,
rock glens, and other adjuncts of ru-
raj life (; but aside from sentiment it is
a time to beware of poisonous plants
and shrubs. We may serve purpose
just now in mentioning few of the
most common that should not be
touched the two varieties of poison
ivy. poison vine and poison oak, one
of which grows erect as shrub from
two to FIVE feet high, and the other as
a vine, from eight to thirty feet high.
Poison sumac, also known as poison
elder and swamp dogwood, growing
as a shrub or q small tree from ten to
eighteen feet high, generally in moist
places /; the foliage is light green. Of
those which should not even be placed
in the mouth, are the wild carrot, wild
parsley, cowbane, hemlock parsley,
water hemlock (the roots of which
are deadly poison), and poison hem
lock (also virulent poison). The
root, leayes and berries of poke weed,
seake and garget are poisonous.
Children sometimes eat the berries of
the bnckthorn, which is q VIOLENT and
dangerous purgative, frequently pro-
ducing dangerous symptoms.
The only safe way to avoid unpleas-
ant or dangerous effect is to scrupu-
lously refrain from handling or chew
ing any plant, or any part Of it, unless
the plant is well known to you, and
known to be lnnoxious.

condition of such affairs in Turkey,
and has made careful Preparations,
warned by her defeat in 1856. She has
strengthened her power in Asia until
she is in position to threaten tho con-
tinued existence of the British Indian
Empire. She thus holds a bond for
the neutrality of England. When the
war between France aud Prussia oc-
CURED, she ventured to break the
treaty Of Paris SO far as to put fleet
in the Black Sea, and restore some of
her fortifcations. By skillful diplo.
macy seems to have obtained a good
understanding with Austria, who
could obstruct her advance, if hostile,
and with Germany, who serves to
keep France quiet. She will in all
probability secure the absolute inde-
pendencs Of the Christian provinces
of Turkey, ana may erect them into
Sclsvic nation, closely allied to herself
by gratitude, interest and religious
sympathy. It is possible even that
she may conquer and hold Constan-
tinople, the old seat of the Greek re-
ligion, and expel the Turks from Eu-
rope, though an attempt on her part
to do this would be very likely to in
volve all Europe in long and bloody
wara.-fCleveland Leader.

HOSPITALITY IN KHIvA.

Capt. Burnaby, the Englishman,w who
has Just made a tour through Turkes-
tan, was we'll treated in Khiva, and re-
ceived especial hospitality on reaching
there, in the home of a dignified old
gentleman. The Khivan hosts were
very humble and deferential wherever
he went, but they were very inquisi-
tive also, and curious to know of the
ways of Europeans. Their notions up
on such subjects are very vague, as
is shown by this passage from one of
the conversations which the traveller
reports:
which do You like best, your horse
or your wife p inquired the man.
That depends upon the woman l
replied and the guide, here joining in
the conversation, said in England they
do not buy or sell their wives, and
that was not married man.
what yon have not got wife p
No; how could l travel ii | had
one?'
tWhy, you might leave her behind
and lock her up, as our merchants do
with their wives when they go on a
journey
Tn my country the women are never
locked up
what q marvelv said the man and
how can you trust them? Is it not
dangerous to expose them to so much
temptation? They are poor weak
creatures, and easily led. But if one
of them is unfaithful to her husband
what does he do?'
HE goes to our moullah, whom we
call judge, and obtains divorce, ,and
marries some one else.'
what !! you mean to say he does
not cut the woman's throat?'
No; he would very likely be hang
ed himself if he did
What country!' said the host I'VE
manage things better in Khiva.'
'The guide was much astonished on
hearing the price of horses inEngland.
And what do the poor people do p he
inquired.
'Why, walk
Walk
'Yes, walk'-this appearing to the
man such an extraordinary statement
that he could hardly credit it,
