A B~loodthIrsty Bird.

The red-headed woodpecker is pro-
bounced to be a carnivorous bird by a
correspondent Of Naturalist, who relates
the following incident as having oc-
CURED In Humboldt County, Iowa, last
summer; During that summer q
friend raised a large number Of black
Cayuga ducks. IL was noticed that
while the birds were still very young
many of them disappeared, one after the
other, and the bodies Of several were
found with the brains picked out, On
watching carefully to ascertain the
cause, a red.headed woodpecker was
caught In the act. He killed the tender
duck with n single blow on the head,
and then picked out and ate the brains.
Though my friend was an enthusiast In
protecting the birds aud squirrels that
came abouthis premises, this provoca-
tiou wat too much, Tho woodpeckers
we're speedily shot"

Neu Scientific Theories. Professor
Mallet, one of the most eminent sclen
tihc authorities in Europe, has recently
undertaken to show that, contrary t.
the usually received opinion, the tacl
of volcanoes throwing out liquid rock
may not be inconsistent with the view
that the earth as a whole is solid.
The investigations made by him in
this direction go to prove, be asserts,
that this lique faction Of the rocks thus
observed may be produced at no very
great depth from the eaTth's surface
by the shifting and rubbing together
of the rocks, owing to cracking U to
the alteration Of the temperatures; and
applying the laws of the mechanical
theory of heat to this problem Mallet
argues that the friction of the rocks,
caused by the peculiar cooling of the
earth and the consequent shrlnkage, Is
a sufficient and satisfactory explana-
ton of the high temperature OF vol
canic action.
The theory of the earth's solidity has
also been adopted by that distinguished
gpologlst, Sir VIM. Thomson. He says
briefly, that the conclusion originally
arrived at by Hopkins, relative to the
solidity of the earth, is in fact bOrue
out by a more rigorous mathematical
treatment than that physicist was able
to apply; so that the idea of geologlsts,
who have been in the habit of explain
ing underground heat, ancient up
heagals, or modern volcanoes, by the
existence of II comparatively thin solid
shell resting on an interior liquid mass,
must now be given up rs %untenable.

HUMOROUS.

The London Mayfair has a story about
the manager Of an aquarium. His vile
induced him TO go TO church, where he
fell asleep. The minister was reading
the first lesson Of the day, which
happened TO be the first chapter OF the
Book Of Ezekiel. AS he proceeded In
the description of the wonderful beast
when the prophet saw in the land OF
the Chaldeans, by the river Chebar, the
aquarium manager moved uneaslly In
his seat. every one had four faces,
and every one had four wings" The
aquarium manager rubbed his eyes, and
the preacher went on. "And they had
the hands OF a man under their wings
on their four sides, and they four had
their faces and their wings" The
aquarium manager was nov wide
awake. Gas for the likeness Of their
faces, they four had the face of a man
and the face of a lion on the right side,
and they four had the face Of an OK on
the left side. They four also had the
face of an eagle" The aquarium
manager was now standing up, mis- wife
vainly pulling at his coat tails. "Name
your own price, "he cried; 81 will take
the thing"

AGRICULTURAL.

CoMPosT.-Are not many Of u far
mers mistaken In the value Of compost
manuref Is II not often the case that
they rate the increased value Of the
manure by the number of cart loads Of
earth which they have added 10 itI We
must TOT forget that the earth adds very
little manuTial value 10 the pile, and In
reality does little but induce a much
quicker and more rapid action by short
ming and dividing the manure and pro-
ducing a more rapid and much earlier
decay. 1t is only a question Of the ra-
pldlty and duration Of action. lfquick
and rapid action is needed for Il short
time, then composing is the plan, and
the only question OF doubt will be
whether this kind Of action will pay
the Increased cost Of composing. II
from the nature of the case a gradual
aud prolonged action is needed then
composing is not the proper plan.
Through all we must bear in mind that
but a little is added nv this plan, and
that for this gain alone 1t will not repay
the expense. A similar mistake Is often
made In valuiDg ~barnyard manure for
the large amount Of straw which may
nave been passed through the stables
aud into the yard. If enough straw or
fodder has been applied TO absorb all
LIQUIDS and prevent their waste, but lit
tie is gained in value by a further addi-
ton, and In the after handling the
Extra amount of long straw mag prove
an actual loss, and In many cases 1t
would be more economical to apply 1t

take bulk for value. nH

RELATIVE PROFITS We often hear
discussions among farmers as to the
comparative profits of their different
systems of farming. At n time the
tide is in favor Of fruit raising; at
mother the dairy interest Is In the as
cendent; next We hear milk claims the
precedence in profit over butter, and in
the end we think it all amounts 10 this :
That for no very great length of time
will any n sy stem, crop or product
remain more profitable than another.
Near market, milk will always remain
the most profitable dairy product, not
only because it cannot be carried far,
but also because the increased freight
would absorb the difference In profit
between it and other products of the
dairy. Farther from the consumer but
ter will do the best because IL a be
carried a considerable distance, and be-
cause the decrease In bulk and weight
very materially cuts down the freight
bill. At a still greater distance cheese
will take the lead, though the increase
IN weight over butter will somewh hat
retard it. Beyond this the products OF
the farm can best and most ecUnomi-
cally tind their way to market In The
concentrated form Of beef, mutton or
pork. 1t is claimed that milk and butter
are more profitable than beef. This Is
only because they receive or work UP
more of the time and labor of the pro-
prietor or his family. When all the
labor must be hired and paid for the
difference is very much reduced. More
labor is expended, and 1t must make a
more profitable commodity, or 1t will
stop. If the fam and family are
adapted to dairying it will pay best.

Glycyrrhizin.-The word "glycyrrhi-

principle of the licOrice root, which
bears the botanical name of gIycyrrhig0
qLdbrd and q. eChindtd. 1t has usually
been described as an amOrphOus, yell
lOwish white powder. Haberman has
succeeded in preparing from the COM
mercial article sold by TrOmmsdorh,
by treating it with a considerable
quantity of glacial acetic acid, all
almost cOlOrless substance, which cry
stalliZes from alcohol in pllsmatlc
needles which usually form hemis-
pherical masses. This substance l.
extremely soluble in water and ID
strong alcohol, less soluble in absolute
alcohol, and as good as insoluble in
ether. 1t has an intensely sweet taste
with an irritating after-taste, and 10
many of its properties corresponds re-
markably with glycyrrhizin as de.
scribed by GOrup-Besanez in 1861. An
alcoholic solution of this with an alco.
holic solution of calcium chloride gives
a white fOcculent precipitate, and a
similar precipitate is obtained by mix
ing an alcoholic solution of Rlycyrrhl.
zin with one of sugar Of lead. When
the crystallized glycyrrhirin is boiled
with water containing 2 per cent Of
sulphuric acid, a solid resinOus sub
stance of a light Isabella yellow colol
separates, which, however, differs from
that described by Gorup- BesaDez IL
having the characteristic sweet taste OF
Rlycyrrhizin. The amount of carbon
in the crystalline substance differs oS
several per cant from that in the sub
stance described by GOrup- Besanez.
