Ring SicknesS.-This is not dissimilar
from sea sickness; it requires long *
perience in a ring to overcome the nau-
sea consequent upon going round aud
round in one direction. One of the
most difficult things for a circus rider
to overcome is this sickness. Clowns
and riugmasters suffer from il greatly,
al first from merely seeing the horses
go round and round; but even after
years of experience, q rinRmaster
(whOse principal business in the ring Is
to keep the horses up to a certain gait,
and not merely to give cue to the
CLOWN, if a horse balks or gets behind
time, and he is obliged to keep close
upon him, ia very llk,ly to suffer from
a pronounced fit Of sickness at the
stomach after he leaves the ring.

AGRICULTURAL.

THINNING FRUTT.-Any one who will
take a walk through our fruit markets
In the fall will not be surprised at the
low prices which usually prevail; ifone
half OF the fruit was kept back, aud only
the best and most perfect specimens
sent, they would command as much as
Is usually obtained for the whole and a
saving Ia freight be effected. We find
the following good advice In the Ameri-
can Agriculturist: "'That this severe
thinning will change the bearing year
there Is sufficient testimony, but there
Is one point on which we lack evidence
will IL pay2 II any of our friends
have tried thinning to induce annual
bearing, or TO reverse the bearing year
on full-grown trees, we ask In behalf of
many inquirers that they will give their
results. With young orchards, just
coming into bearing, the case Is very
different, and whoever will take the
pains, and give the young trees the
needed care, can make their orchard
bear annually. The education of the
trees must begin with their first fruit
Ing, as the first excessive crop, though
small In itself, starts the tree on the
wrong track. When the trees are young
the quantity Of fruit TO be removed is
small, and all within reach. or course
the cultivation of the soil must not be
neglected, but a healthy growth main
tanned. Whoever will start right with
his orchard, and treat it fairly, will
have nc reason to complain. Among
the varieties of apples thatare naturally
annual bearers, though they may be
starved into bearing biennially, or not
at all, are V~andevere, Sops of Wine,
Grimes Golden, a comparatively new
apple Of great excellence Milan, Mink
lers', Rawles' Janet, for the South;
Benoni, Hubbardston Nonesuch, Dom
Inc, Highly Sweet, and English Sweet
(Ramsdell's Sweet at the South). If any
of our fruit growers can add to this list
Of annual bearers, we hope they will do
So"

To MAKE Doors AND SHOES DURABLE.
The durability Of the soles of boots
and shoes may be greatly increased by
coating them with gum copal varnish,
which also has the effect of making
them waterproof.-FOur or five coats
must be given, allowing each coat of
varnish to dry before the succeeding
one is applied. SOles thus treated
possess twice the usual durability, and
generally outlast the best uppers. The
leather uppers of boots or shoes may be
rendered soft and waterproof by rub

fire, a mixture composed of four ounces
of lard and one ounce of resin.

Coloring Matter in TOys.-The SAM
tary Inspector of Glasgow, Scotland,
has found that the yellow toy balloons
sold to children are poisonOus-that is,
the cOloring matter consists of one part
of chrOmate of lead and three parts of
carbonate of lime; and consequently
children being in the habit of applying
their mouths to the O~rifces of these
balloons for the purpose of filling them
with air, may readily receive a guam
tity of such poisonous powder into their
mouths. These balloons, therefore,
should be viewed with suspicion. Many
other painted toys should be suspected
especially the bright cOlored ones,
which most always are of a mineral ma
ture, and, if not directly poisonous, are
certainly injurious to health. AS an
abundance of good toys without cOlors
or paints can always be obtained, there
is no necessity for putting into the
hands OF children anything of a ques-
tionable nature in this line.

A Norwegian Timber ChmCh.-There

great interest to the antiquary. One
Of these, situated in the neIghbor-
hood of some of the widest and
most romantic scenery in the
country, is OF strange and fantastic de-
sign, and the carved pinnacles at its
angles give it the appearance of a
Chinese pagodArather than a Christian
church. The building is entirely of
pine, the roof and walls being covered
With tOOth-shaped shingles, protected
from the weather by layers of pitch. 1t
possesses nave, chancel, and apse, the
roof of the later forming a most curious
misunderstanding a large beehive. A
covered wav, about 3 feet wide, Tuns
all round the church. IL is believed to
have been erected in the 18th or 18th
century, and the resemblance which
the mouldings and capitals bear to
English architecture of that date fully
bears this out.

SCIENTIFIC

Tifdnium Chloride for Prisms.-In OPP
teal experiments and in spectrOscOpic
work, hollow glass prisms filed with
bisulphide of carbon are frequently
employed because of the high retroactive
power of bisulphide. Ii possesses,
however, several disadvantages, among
which are It's OdOr and its wonderful
solvent properties. The hollow glass
prisms employed are nicely ground to
the proper angle and plates OF glass ce-
mented thereon. The b|isulphlde OF
carbon attacks the cement, whatever it
may be, and in most cases soon causes
the prism to leak. This necessitates
the removal of the liquid after using
and rehlling the prism each day when
it is TO be used. Cannot some other
dense and highly refractiye liquid be
substituted fOriti
Ii is our wish to call attention TO an
other liquid of very high retroactive
power, almost equal to bisulphide of
carbon, that may perhaps be substi-
tuted for it, as it is free from this sol
vent action, at least on some substances.
Titanium chloride fumes in the air,
sending off great clouds of white
smoke, and is consequently a disagree
able substance TO handle. Ii has, how
ever, the property of remaining in a
bottle or other vessel, even when loose
ly stoppered, for the reason that the
fumes of oxide and oxychlOride collect
about the cork and in all other crevlces
completely closing them.
Titanium chloride is prepared in a
banner totally analogous to that en-
ployed in the chlOrides of silicon, alu-
minum, and some similar substances,
namely, the action of dry chlorine gas
upon a mixture of titanium oxide and
lamp black at a high temperature. AL
though a difficult laboratory expert
scale almost as easily as chloride Of
aluminium, if the demand for it were
sufficient.

CUTTING PoTATogs.-One of the most
prolific questions for farm club discus
sion is whether cutting the sets has any
effect in decreasing the vitality or size
Of the crop. A few years ago the theory
was advanced and strongly advocated
that nothing but the largest potatoes
should be used, and that to prevent de-
terioratiOn of the product these should
be planted whole and about three feet
apart in the row; the main advocate OF
this theory was a dealer in seed pota.
toes. and of kinds which then com.
handed a high price, and the ill-natured
were In the habit Of attributing his
theory to a desire to effect a sale, as II
was found that the practice involved a
large increase in the amount of seed
used. We think it may be set down as
a rule that a ripe and well developed
eye will, in good soil, produce perfect
tubers, and that the deterioration which
usually follows the continued planting
Of small seed is caused more by the fact
that they are not fully matured than to
their size. All that is required either
OF the whole tuber or of the piece at
tached to The eye is to nourish the shoot
until the proper roots are formed, and
after that it can obtain its nourishment
from the soil. What have our readers
