Bank Of England NOtes.-Few of the
persons who handle Bank of England
notes ever think of the amount of labor
and ingenuity that is expended on their
production. These notes are made from
pure white linen cuttings only, never
from rags that have been worn. They
have been manufactured for nearly 200
years at the same spot-Laverstoke, in
Hampshire, and by the same family,
the Portals, who are descended from
some French Protestant refugees. So
carefully is the paper prepared that
even the number of dips into the pulp
made by each workman is registered on
a dial by machinery, and the, sheets are
person through whose hands they pass.
The printing is done by a most curious
process In Mr.. Oe'sdepartment within
the bank building. There is an elabo-
rate arrangement for securing that no
note shall be exactly like any other in
existence. Consequently there never
was a duplicate of a Bank of England
note, except by forgery. According to
the city Press, the stock of paid notes
for seven years is about 81, 600, 900 in
number, and they fill $1,000 boxes,
which, if placed side by side, would
reach three miles. The notes, placed
in a pile would be eight miles high; or,
if Joined end to end, would form a rib
bon $1,000 miles long; their superficial
extent is more than that of Hyde Park
their original value was over $l5,00O,-
00O, 900, and their weight over III tons.

BEWARE OF DAMP CLoTHING.-Few
persons understand fully the reason
why wet clothing exerts such a chilling
influence. 1t is simply this: Water,
when it evaporates, carries of an i'm
mense amount Of heat, in what is called
the latent form. One pound in vapor
contains as much heat as nine or ten
pounds Of liquor water, and all this
heat must, of course, be taken from the
body. Ii our clothes are mOistened
with three pounds of water, that Is, if
by wetting they are three pounds
heavier, these three pounds will, in
drying, carry off as much heat as would
raise three gallons Of ice-cold water to
the boiling point. No wonder that
damp clothes chill US. atIF

Horned InSects.-We have sometimes
had occasion to refer to the doubts pre-
vailing among naturalists as to the use
which insects make of the antenne or
horn-like a~ppendages upon their heads.
Mr.. M. Trouvelot has recently described
some experiments in the american Ma
turdliSt which lead him to think that the
sense localized in these organs cannot
be regarded only as that of touch, hear
ing or taste, or as uniting their complex
functions. "In no case" he says shave
l observed insects using the antenna as
f~eelers; it is true they move them very
rapidly when they want to recognize an
object, but very seldom do the antenna
come in contact with the object; if they
are f~eelers, they feel at a distance" His
conclusion is that the sense of which
these so-called feelers are the organs is
a kind of feeling or smelling at a great
distance by SOM process now totally
unknown. He suggests thatit may have
some analogy to the sense, so little un-
derstood, which enables animals, when
removed from home, to find a straight
line back to it with as much directness
and accuracy as if the place sought
were constantly in sight.

Haber'S Test for Free Mineral Acids
This new agent consists of a mixture Of
solutions of molybdate of ammonia and
ferrocyanide of potassium. When this
clear yellowish solution is added to a
colOrless aqueous solution, which ON
tains, besides salts of alkalies and aka
line earths, a trace of free mineral acid,
such as sulphuric, %hydrochloric, nitric,
phosphoric, arsenic, sulphurous, or
PHOSPHORUS acid, there appears at once
a reddish yellow color or t%urbidity, and
with more acid a dark brown color,
which disappears again upon adding
the slightest excess of alkali. Boracic
and arsenious acids, however, do not
give any reaction with this test. 1t has
been suggested that this Huber reagent
may be employed, instead of litmus or
cochineal, as indicated in acidimetry
and a~lkalimetry, to determine sharply
the neutral point.

To Boil PoTAToEs.-Let the potatoes

until all the steam is gone; then scatter

the pot with a towel. By adopting this
plan watery potatoes will be mealy.

GREEN FooD FOR HENs.-A daily ra-
ton of green food is actually necessary
for laying hens. Vegetables, either
cooked or raw, are much relished also,
and serve in some measure to supply
the place of green diet. Onions chopped
fine and mixed with their food are ex-
ceedingly Wholesome, and if not a cure
are certainly preventive of disease in
many instances Growing chickens are
even more anxious for green food than
laying hens. They crave it, and when
necessary to be housed from it on ac-
count of inclement weather, it should
be provided for them. There is no green
food so wholesome for them as onion
tops cut up fine. th'i

IRON IN GRAIN.-There are few ply
siclans who do not recommend iron ia
a multitude of diseases, and especially
in chlorOsis. Many health reformers
and h~ygienists have opposed this prac-
tice declaring there was quite enough
iron in grain, when we did not remove
it all by our process of grinding.
1t is pleasant to see this view coming
up among scientific physicians. A wri-
ter in a French medical journal says
that the ordinary preparations of iron
are not absorbed in any large quantity
into the blood when given as a medicine,
and that.a preferable. mode of getting

BoRERs IN APPLE TREEs.-The borer
Is one of the most destructive enemies
of young apple trees. 1t Is a white
grub that enters the treejust at the sur
face of the ground, and by p%erforating
the bark and wood always Injuries and
sometimes proves fatal to the tree. A
small round hole from which dust is
elected indicates its presence. The grub
may be cut out with a knife, or he may
be killed by thrusting a small wire into
the hole. The eggs are laid in June,
aud the trees should be carefully ex-
amined this month, as the borer, If ne
elected, often kills a tree In a short
time. But prevention is always better
than cure. 1t is said that il the trunks
of the trees are washed with a strong
solution of soft soap they will not be at
tackled by the borer. Others recon-
mend saturating a cloth with the same
solution and wrapping it around the
tree close to the ground. Still others
say, surround the tree at the base with
ashes. In large orchards ofyoung trees
it might be of advantage to build fires
among the trees at night in the month
of June, as this will in measure, de-
stroy the beetles which deposit the
eggs.
