FARM AND HOME.
sIeadow safFron,

Meadow SaffcOu,
The opinion very generally entertained
that the meadow saffron, as commonly
met with in low-lying or ill-drained
pastures, is harmless to cattle feeding on
them, appears to be altogether ill-found
ed. Oftentimes cases of illness and of
death occurring among such beasts are
attributed to every cause but the right
one, and it is only recently that the
poisonous character of the plant at GER
tain stages of its growth has been at all
generally recognized and pointed out.
The fact is that while the fully grown
leaves of the meadow saffron can be eat
en- by cattle with impunity, or at all
events with such trifing disturbance of
the digestive organs as to attract no
special attention, the same parts of the
plant in a younger stage of development
contain a very large amount of the ac-
tive principle colchicine, the poisonous
properties of which have been establish
ed by repeated observations, especially
in Syria, where the loss of many valua-
BILE cattle from this cause has been
recently recorded.

which had been carefully put in
drawer, going correctly. The following
night the very same dream occurred,
followed by similar agitation which was
again composed in the same manner; the
brother being again found in a quiet
sleep, and the watch going well. On
the following morning, soon after the
family breakfasted, one of the sisters
was sitting by her brother, while the
other was writing note in the adjoining
room. When her note was ready for
sealing, she was proceeding to take out for
the purpose the watch which she had
put in her writing desk, when she was
astonished to find it had stopped; and
at the same instant she heard a scream
from her sister in the next room.
Their brother had been seized with a
sudden fit of sufocation; and had just
breathed his last.-N y. Tribune.

upon the growth and productions of the
inserted sciOns, why was this fruit so
affected
Other cases of a similar character
could be mentioned of variation in the
russell apple occasioned by being grated
upon sweet or sour stocks.
We have no doubt but that the eating
qualities Of apples may be considerably
modified by careful selection at the
time of grating.
IF we wish to diminish the acidity of
any sour Sppl0, we SHOulU grant INTO q
| tree known to produce a sweet apple OF
good quality, and in so doing, should ex-
| pect to secure the desired result and so,
| too, vice versa. 1t is certain that the
same variety of apples appear very IN
! like as to size, color, shape and manner
| Of growth, which we attribute to the
| influence of the stock upon which they
are grated. Ii it is not so why is it the
! case that the same variety of apple, from
the same nursery, apepars differently
upon different stocks? We have a case al
hand. Two trees of Tallman Sweet were
set from the nursery of I. G. Yeomans,
Walworth, n. Y. one bears a good sized
fruit, possessing the average qualities OF
that apple, while the other, although it
possesses outward marks, is very hard in
flesh, which is also filled with black spots
that render it unfit for use.
We believe that perfection in fruit
culture will yet necessitate a practice
that requires a knowledge OF the natural
characteristics of the stock upon which
sciOns are inserted---if such a thing is
possible, which we.,feel confident it is to
| a certain extent and until such time,
so long as sciOns are inserted in Seeding
stocks where fruit qualities are unknown
we may expect variation in the same
varieties of apples.- William II. YeOmans

A Remarkable Dream Story.

dreams. The streaIs of insanity which
a French philosopher declares run
through every mans brain, show their
edges in sleeping, if not in working
hours, and as for the supernatural
element, who Is wholly without super

grating of au apple upon any other stock
will change in no very perceptible degree
any OF the principal characteristics of
the fruit GRATED, and yet we have in

known as "Hoiten Sweet" which is an
exceedingly rich, sweet apple, and also
into another stock where natural fruit

Mr.. Alfred Simpson has given an
entertaining account of the manners and
customs of the Zaporas of Ecuador. The
mode of cOurtship presents some sug-
ge>tive features. The enamored swain
goes to the woods and hunts game {;
when he has procured it he presents it to
the maiden of his choice. This consti-
tutes the proposal; if she accepts, she
cooks the meat. Hence, before entering
upon the bonds of matrimony, the Zapora
sutton has the great advantage over civil
lied wooeTs of being assured as to the
Iady's capacity for preparing a square
meal and doubtless there is diminished
probability that afterwards the fat will
be in the fire. On the other hand the
Zaporiness il favored with some fore
knowledge as to her spOuse's ability to
keep the larder supplied.

There is a new an@sthetic. Prof. Nc
Kendrick and DR.. Ramsay have been
experimenting in England with substi-
tuition products obtained with pyridine
and chinoline. The latter of these bases
is extracted from quinine by means OF
caustic potash, but may also be procured
by some of the coal-tar series OF substitu-
tiOns. Three grains of the chloride. OF
chinoline introduced into the circulation
of rabbit rendered the animal uncon-
scious in eight minutes, but the pulsa
ton of the heart continued and the
breathing was vigorous. The rabbit
recovered after two or three hours, and
the experiment is deemed highly success
full. Some of the other derivatives from
these bases proved to be very powerful
poisons, having specific action upon the
vital centers, and likely to be of use in
materia medica.

The biological science takes the lead
at the three great scientific gatherings OF
the summer. At Nashville, Prof Marsh S
address upon the introduction and sue

was the chief feature. The presidential
address at Plymouth, England, dealt
with the evidences of the evolution OF
species, as afforded by embryOlogy. The
meeting of the French association for
the advancement of science, held at
Havre in the last week of August,
opened its session with an address by its
president, DR.. P. Broca, on the anthrO-
polOgy of the auraternary period, as re
CARDS the races of Europe. He considers
those races as three in number, and be
longing to two distinct divisions, as
shown by their skulls. DR.. Broca was
distinguished in his earlier years in the
practice of medicine in Paris; latterly
he has become eminent in an.hrOpolOgical
researches, especially in craniology. The

The SUCCESS of Sir William ThOmpsOn's
pianoGorte wire apparatus for deep-sea
sounding was demonstrated by the
United States steamer Tuscarora in the
Pacific ocean, Commander Belknap hav-
ing aided its success by his own skill and
ingenuity. There is occasion for regret
that it was not used by the Challenger
expedition; if it had been, a much
larger number of soundings could have
been effected. Latterly several expert
ments have been made with this apparatus
on the White Star line of steamers be
tween this city and Liverpool. The wire
was capable of bearing strain of eighteen
miles of its own length. In these exper-
iments a glass tube was attached at a
known distance above the sinker. The
interior of the tube was coated with a
mixture of starch and red prussiate of
potash. Outside the tube was a metallic
cylinder containing a solution of sulphate
of iron. When the pressure of the water,
al a given depth, drove in the sides Of
the cylinder, it forced the iron solution
to propOrtionate height in the glass
tube, leaving its record in a blue tint
The height of the record indicated the
pressure, and consequently the depth
reached in sounding.

POPULAR SCIENCE.

A lady was among the authors of
essays at the British associations meet
ing, and as at the Nashville gathering,
the lady read her own paper. But the
parallel ends there, for the Plymouth
lady's work was a mere compilation, tell
ing of the various stimulating drinks
which have been used and abused by

Nashville was original in thought, and

it warmly.
A line Of steamers has been established
between Marseilles (France) and the
river Plate (SOuth America), to convey
fresh meat from the latter locality in a
frozen condition. On one of the steamers
the PelIer process is used for producing
cold by the rehabilitation of ether; on
the other, the Care process is employed !;
a temperature being obtained by the
evaporation Of ammonia, which Is said to
be so low as to sheet the meat with ice.
The second vessel OF the line started
from Marseilles while the first was com
ing into port with a cargo. The Church
authorities pronounced a benediction on
the outgoing vessel; procedure which
seems somewhat in advance of young
Benjamin Franklin's proposition to have
his father say grace over the pork in the
barrel.

The address of Prof. f. @. Pickering
az vice-president of the American ascot
alton, and president of section A (mathe
matics and physics), was read by proxy,
as ne did not attend the Nashville meet
ing. The address was an argument in
iavOr of the endowment of scientific
research. It's most interesting portion
was the description of a suitable build
ing, and arrangements for a physical
laboratory, where experiments might be
made to carry out scientific researches.
Prof. Pickering gave elaborate details of
his project, and pointed out the numerous
advantages that might be expected to
result when these facilities were affoI ded
to investigators. The plan includes the
appointment of presiding officer and
stafFOf assistants. The castle in Spain"
of Prof. Pickering is not a thing Of
beauty. He says: . The building itself
is large, but low, and resembles one OF
