Why Bees Work in the Dark.

A lifetime may be spent in investi-
eating the mysteries hidden In a bee
hive, and still half of the secrets would
be undiscovered. The formation of the
cells has long been a celebrated problem
for the mathematician, whilst the
changes which the honey undergoes Of
fer at least an equal interest to the
chemist. Every knows what honey
fresh from the comb is like. 1t Is a clear,
yellow syrup, without a trace of solid
sugar in it. Upon strainiug, however,
1t gradually assumes a crystalline APP
pearance-it candies as the saying is,
and ultimately becomes a solid mass of
sugar. 1t has not been suspected that
this change was due to a Photographic
action; that the same agent which alters
the molecular arrangement of the
iodide of silver on the excited collodion
plate, and determines the formation Of
camphor and iodine crystals in a bottle,
causes the syrup honey to assume a
crystalline form. This, however, is the
case. Mgr. Schelber has enclosed honey
In stoppered TASKS, some of which he
has kept in perfect darkness, whilst
others have been exposed to the light.
The invari able result has been that the
summed portion rapidly crystallises,
whilst that kept in the dark remained
perfectly liquid. We now see why bees
are so careful to work in the dark, and
why they are so careful to obscure the
glass windows which are sometimes
placed in their hives. The existence of
their young depends on the liquidity Of
the saccharine food presented to them,
and If light were allowed access to this,
the syrup would gradually acquire n
more or less solid consistency it would
seal up the cell, aud in all probability
prove fatal to the inmates OF the hive.

The CamphOr rec

The tree from which camphor is OBJ
tanned belongs to the family of gutti-
ferrous productions. 1t grows album
dainty in the forests of Sumatra and
Borneo. 1t is one the strongest and lof-
test trees of those countries. Its bark
is of a brownish hue; its leaves resem-
BILE those of the camphor tree of Japan {;
its leaves and seeds send forth a
powerful smell resembling that of tur-
p%entine. The trunk can attain a diam
eter of from six to seven feet. When
the tree has attained the size Of a pop
lar, which is seven or eight years old,
it yields camphor, but in small quant;-
ties. Before that age it produces only
a thick oil, which, according the inhab-
itants of these countries, is the first
state through which the camphor pas
SEES. There is no way of exactly recog-
nizing the trees which contain the one
or the others of those substances. New
ertheless, when old trees are pierced
camphor is invariably found. 1t is us
ually met with in hollows, very close
to the heart, exactly as resin is met
with in other trees. These hollows or
pockets would seem, by the irregulari-
ty of their form, by their extent and
by their volume, to be rather a diseased
affection peculiar to the tree than a
natural property; but this is not the
case. The manner of procuring this
resinous substance consists in sounding
the trees by means of a deep incision at
their base, and going nearly as far in
as the heart. If nothing but oil flows
out the tree is Immediately abandoned,
because, as already stated, at the end
of seven or eight years it yields cam
phor. AS many as twenty or thirty
trees, sometimes more, are thus mutila-
ted before a tree containing the mat
ter sought for is found. Every tree
Is supposed to contain camphor Is cut
down, then divided into pieces from
one to two inches in length, then
traversely cleft into two or four parts,
to obtain the camphor. The amount
yielded by a tree of middle size is from
five to six kilogrammes. Most of the
camphor which circulates in commerce
comes to us from Japan or China. 1t is
procured from the Taurus Camphora.
1t is obtained by cutting the wood into
chips which is then submitted to the
action of heat. The great therapeutic
power of camphor, known by Raspail,
famous as a chemist, physician, and
political martyr, justifies II in giving
It high and honorable place among
hygienic agencies.

The Uses Of Chlorotorm.-The dele
FERROUS and often fatal results of the use
of chloroform with persons of weak
hearts has stimulated effort to obviate
the danger. The latest and most sue
cessful treatment of such cases is that
suggested by Professor Occhini, OF
Naples, who recommends the ~inspira-
ton of a%mmOniacal vapor previous to
the inhalation of chlorofOrm. The
theory advanced by the Professor is that
the stimulant action of the ammonia on
the nervous and vascular systems will
more than counter-balance the depress-
ing influence of the anasthetic.

How TO USE PARIS GREEN.-The sue
cess to which this mineral can be used
in destroying the potato-beetle, slugs,
the striped-bug, caterpillar, &C., has
made its use quite common of late
years; but we fear that many persons
do not handle it with that care which
Its poisonous nature demands. We have
already heard where its inhalation,
while busting the vines and bushes
with it, has been attended with serious,
though not fatal effect. busting with
it, the way it is generally done, from a
bag or paper, or with the hands, is ex-
tremely dangerous. When it is so APP
piled, the bag or other appliance should
be placed at the end of a tive-foot pole;
and when used in this way the inhaling
of any part of the mineral is entirely
guarded against. OF course when di-
luted with water this %precaution is I'M
necessary.

La Nature says that a French inventor
has recently proposed a perpetual clock
based on the difference of atmospheric
temperature by day and by night. The
heat of day causes a liquid to rise into
a reservoir, whence it tails by gravity,
so operating the mechanism. This is a
very old idea. More than twenty years
ago we saw a form of perpetual clock
which was wound the by diurnal rise
and fall of a column of oil.

FLAT CULTURE POR PoTAToKs.-Much
has been published within a few years
on the subject Of killing potatoes, and
by some toe fiat culture system has been
highly recommended. At one time the
arguments brought out In Its favor were
so clear that | experimental on the sys.
tenn, and the result was a very lean haf-
vest OF small potatoes. ! have no doubt,
however, Of the sincerity Of those who
recommend that mode Of culture, which
probably has been successful under the
circumstances by which they were IA.
vored. Butin farming, as in medicine,
there are no fixed and positive rules Of
practice. In medicine, the constitution,
habits and all other peculiarities are TO
be understood In order TO apply safe
and efficient remedies. SO In farming,
the nature and quality Of the soil, and
other conditions must be understood In
order 10 insure successful practice.
When the potato rot first appeared In
this country, t~hirty-iye years ago, 1t
was sOon discovered that the vines were
first attacked on low grounds, subject
10 foRs, and that the disease was worse
on stit, clammy soils, enriched by fer
mentlng manures. This induced far
mers to plant on lands high and dry, If
the soil was very sandy so much the
better, and TO use natures cooling In
their nature. The result was a saving
OF the crop under such management;
while where the older system of plant
ing lower fields Of nor compact soil,
and feeding with heated manures was
continued, a failure from rot was the
general consequence.
