The English Scientific Farm.

The famous English experimental
farm of Rothamsted, l ZOO fertile acres
In Hertfordshire, twenty five miles from
Lordon on the Midland railway, is
described in an interesting manner by
Prof. Silliman, who has recently visited
IT John Bennett Lawes Inherited the
property in 1894, fine old English
estate, with its park of oaks and ancient
mansion, and for nearly half century.
in company with DR. j. H. Gilbert and
a large corps of assistants, Mr. Lawes
has devoted himself to agricultural
chemistry on large scale; he has also
set apart fund OF Gl00, 900 and sec
ton of land for the continuance of these
investigations after he is gone. The
purpose is to discover W at crops are
best for different soils, what fertilizers
will best assist their growth, and to ex.
pertinent on such scale, both as to area
and time, that the fundamental princi-
pies OF farming may be made as plain
and sure M those OF any other business.
In 1850 Mr.. Lawes was presented with a
laboratory by public subscription, and
there DIR. Gilbert and a considerable
staf of assistants have been at work
since. experimenting experiments, max.
ing aud applying manures and analyziug
soils and crops The results of this
long and careful investigation have es-
tablished that bsrn-yari manu- can
only carry the production of hay to q
limit about half the maximum that car
be reached with mineral manures alone,

Why Buildings Are Struck by Light
ming.

1t will now be readily perceived why
tall buildings, such as church spires,
are more liable to be "struck," to use
the common expression, than structures
of less height Buildings may be
constructed, wholly or in part, of sub
stances possessing greater conducting
power than the air, and, as they rise to
considerable distances above the earth's
surface, they lessen by so much the
thickness of the stratum of air TO be
traversed, and diminish, IN correspond
ing degree, the resistance to be over
come between cloud and earth. OF two
editices, equally conductive, the higher
will thus occasion the greater reduction
OF resistance. aud consequently the dis
charge will take place directly over this
building, and through it to and from the
ground. The effects of the passage of
electricity through the building will be
determined by the degree of conductive
ty possessed by the latter, or, in other
words, by the resistance it offers. If-it
be constructed of metal, or # it have
continuous piece of metal running
through it from top to bottom, the cleo
tric charge vii pass without causing in
it any visible effect, because little or no
resistance Is opposed. For this reason,
buildings, a. the reader doubtless knows,
have ten affixed to them, for their pro-
lection, metal rod called a lightning
conductor. But if there be no metal
employed in the construction of the
building, or if the metal used be in sep
arate and detached pieces, there will be
great resistance to he overcome, and the
force required to overcome it may be
sufficient to cause the destruction of the
building, or, at least, the displacement
Of those parts where the resistance is
greatest The heat generated by the
passage Of electricity through badly con-
ductn 6 substances is Often great enough

4 Weoaing without Words.

An interesting occasion yesterday was
offered in The religious services IN the
chapel of Christ Church, corner OF Thir-
teen,h and Locust streets, by the Rev.
A. w. Mann, OF Detroit, deaf mute,
before q congregation OF deaf mutes.
There were about sixty deaf mu'es pres
emit who comprehend no vocal language,
but converse through the organ OF sight
by means OF Hgns and the spelling of
letters with the fingers. Among the
mutes were adults over 40 years OF age.
The preacher WAS clothed in his Episco-
pal robe, and appeared TO be iigni6ed
clerical gentleman, and, with the excep-
ton of the multiplicity of his gestures
il would not otherwise appear to q per-
son at distance but that he was dis
coursing in the ordinary vocal manner.
He went through the customary Episco-
pal service and delivered brief serm on.
In giving out the text and quoting from
scripture he spelled he letters with his
fl lgers and thumb, but otherwise he
spoke mostly in signs. Tie mute audi
ence listened throughout to all that was
said with earnest attention.
The afternoon service was made par
ticularly interesting by little surprise,
being wedding ceremony, the happy
pair being two deaf mutes, who were
united through the medium of a mute
language. The name of tie groom is
Mr.. Adam Suttor and of the bride Miss
Barbara Marshall, all of Fairview, on
the Missouri Pacific railroad, some seven
miles out from the city. Of course
mutes marry and are given in marriage.
Their affections are mutual. Love
speaks silent language, and it is not
essential that its expression should be
through the throat, assisted by the
tongue, lips and teeth, as among ordi-
nary mortals. The lady's trousseau was
simply elegant, and there were no
bridesmaids nor groomsmen. The par.
ties joined hands, the groom placed the
ring on the brides finger, and the cere-
mony, though in pantomime, was in sc-
cordance with the Usual custom.

The Manitoba Wave-HOw Chicago
Was Saved.

AS a specimen of repo,torial gush and
exaggerarion, the following from the
Chicago Times, describing the change
of temperature from warm to cool, is the
richest of the season:
"The night had been sultry, except
along the immediate shore of the lake.
Up to 2 o'clock in the morning a slight
breeze played even in the remote west
ern portion of the city, but after that
hour all was hushed as in the sleep of
death. The atmosphere was simply
sitting, and dread pail seemed to hang
oAer the city.
Gas the workers on the morning news
papers turned to their homes, Just on
the verge OF dawn, the prospect was the
most discouragiDg of any that had yet
presented itself. rhe morning previous
the breez re had maintained itself until 4
o'clock and after, and, therefore, to have
it die out two hours earlier boded the
most ominous results, and the opinion
was unanimous that the day would dis
count i'll its dread effects any of It's pre-
decessors.
"The sun rose angrily in murky sky.
1t was cloudy in parts, and something
resembling fog pervaded the atmos
phere. Meanwhile the oppressiveness
was intolerable, and, as old Sol
mounted his chariot ana began to move
upward, the thermometer went right
along with him.
" 1t was o'clock. The heat was the
most intense that can be imagined. The
weight of the atmosphere bore everybody
to the ground. No one cared to stir, or
could, with safety. Suddenly something
rose in the north. 1t looked Ike dust
cloud. 1t came without warning. 1t
seemed like thing dropped from
heaven-a benediction. 1t was the glad
dest surprise that ever came to MOI tai.
That dust cloud was thing of life. 1t
was an iceberg in solution. Coming
upon the intense heat 1t sent an instan-
taneous chill through the whole city. in
moment the entire population was in
the street to see what had happened.
What could the matter be ! And then,
as people realized what had occurred,
the shout was universal, the Manitoba
wave, the Manitoba wave And then
the hearts became too full for utterance,
and the glad tears sprung to the eyes,
and scores knelt down where they stood,
right in the street, aud gave thanks to
the Providence that had saved the city,"

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The Urited States Treasurer has writ
ten to the Assistant Treasurers authorizing
them TO use the standard silver dollars in their
vaults in payment to persons presenting checks,
to parties desiring them, upon the disburse-
ment of pay-rolls, and in exchange, in moder-
ate amounts for greenbacks and Lational-bank
notes, and for payment in lieu of 81 and go
notes.
Commissioner Williamson, of the Gen
eral Land Office, has prepared statement of
the disposal of public lands during the last
fiscal year, which shows very marked in
crease in the number of emigrants moving
into the Western States. The figures which
he presents show an increase in the occupation
OF lands in Dakota during the last year of
1925, 600 acres; in Kansas Of /, 1850, 600 acres ;
Minnesota, 761, 900 acres Nebra ,ka, of 1863, 600
acres making total increase in these four
States of 8, 700, 900 acres.
The President left Washington last
week for trip to Ohio.
Attorney General Deveps is of the opin-
ion that resumption cannot be legally at
tempted before n. /, 1879.
Some talk is heard in Washington
about the probability that collision will occur
between American and Mexican troops, when
ever Gen. Ord next finds occasion TO send an
