GARDEN PRODUCTS, ACCORDING
GEOGRAPHICAL PROGRESS.

The annual address of the President
of the American Geographical Society
furnishes as usual an interesting
review of the Tast years work in
geographical exploration. The gran
deur Of SANKEY'S achievement dwarfs
all the rest to relative insignificance;
nevertheless enough else was done in
other parts of the world to make the
year notable one for geography even
with SANKEY'S work left out.
In our own western territories and
in certain portions of South America
an unusual number of expeditions for
geographical exploration have been
sent out; and considerable good work
has been done also in Central and
Eastern Asia, the Indian Archipelago,
and Australia. In Asia many ex-
plorers have been at work in Palestine
Persia, Turkestan. Thibet, China,
India, and Japan. In South America
Rivira and Werthemere have ex.
plored the mountains of Peru; Weiner
has heen at work at Bolivia, and
Moreno in Patagonia.
At home the explorations of the
United States corps ofengineers have
been, as our readers already know,
both extensive and notably successful.
The same may be said of the surveys
under the direction of Professor Hay
den. OF more immediate interest to
ourselves has been the resurvey Of
our own State, The triangulation
has been carried through the eastern
central part Of the State, covering an
area Of 1900 square miles between

AKANCAROO INVASION.

The Melbourn Argus reports re-
markable invasion of kangaroos in
Queensland, Australia. It appears
that the drought Of last summer, and
the decreased food supply in con.
sequence thereof, has driven the
animals from the unsettled bush and
caused them to descend in thousands
upon the inhabited regions. devourine
the crops and stripping the country OF
vegetation, so that the colonists have
to resort to dry leaves as fodder fol
their cattle. The settlers have
organized large expeditions to meet
the invasion, and within four days il
is said that upwards of 1900 kangaroo:
were killed. The flesh, which is ex
cellent eating, is being packed in tins
and shipped to England.

ALBUMINolDs IN FOODS.

We have already drawn attention,
says the Madras Times, to the fact
that many of the elaborate dietaries
that have been drawn up, both in this
country and at home, are unreliable,
being based on unsound data. We
pointed out that, under the method
usually followed in determining the
percentage of albuminoids, or flesh
formers. i. e.. food, it is usual to null
tiply the percentage of nitrogen found
by 6.33, 1t being assumed that the
whole of the nitrogen existed in the
form of albuminoids. However, Pro
lessor Church, of the Royal Agricul.
tural College. recently showed that
this assumption is altogether incor-
rect-at any rate, as regards many
vegetable productions, much of the
nitrogen found being in the form of
salts that possess no food value.
Hence the albuminoids, in analyses
calculated by the old method, are
stated too high. AS the percentage
OF albuminoidS found in food deter.
mines the value, or other wise, of that
food. it will be seen how serious is
the error brought to notice. Profess.
or Church appears to have made fur.
Their Investigation, and has discovered
as the following extract shows, some
very serious differences in the per.
centage of albuminoids of certain gar
den products as determined by the old
and new methods. It appears that in
many of these products the album.
noids are Only about one half what
fn 1>o -,
grain the albuminoids are greatly ov-
erestimated by the old method. 1t
must be very gratifying to Dr.. Lyons
and other to find that their elaborate
dietarieS are altogether worthless.
What use Sir Richard Temple might
have made Of the facts we have dis.
closed, had they been shown to him
Professor Church, in addressing the
Cirencester Chamber of Commerce,
recently said:
"1t will, perhaps, be remembered
by some members present to-day, that
two years ago December 5, 1879, in
my annual report to this Chamber,
touched upon some experiments which
had been carried out in my laboratory
in order to ascertain the true feeding
value of roots. These results were
sufficiently startling. but they have
since been amply confirmed by Ger.
man chemists. The chief conclusion
which must be drawn from them is
this-that the flesh. forming values of
many roots, and even of some other
vegetable products, has been hitherto
greatly overestimated by the ordinary
process Of analysis. The subject can
not be adequately discussed on the
present occasion, but the annexed ia.
BILE will convey some notice Of the
differences between the old and new
results:

L1TERARI
MAUD PENNYFEATHERS AMBITION.


1t was an exhilarating spectacle that
the people of Chepachet beheld one Jan
uary afternoon; the picture of a grown
man pulling and Juggling a small boy
along Main street. The man was Mr.
John Denike; the boy, Terry Mcclure.
Of the righteousness Of the scene Mr..
Denike was not unconscious. His face
was red, and wore an expression OF
mingled vindictiveness and shame. To
add to his discontinue, a young lady, com
ing in an opposite direction, checked her
steps rs she observed his plight and then
stopped in his way.
The boy promptly began to howl.
"Oh, Miss Pen feather he pitesusly
cried, " he's taking me to the jug"
why, Terry she exclaimed in a
tone OF reproach, "what is the matter"
Denike had stopped, but still held the
boy, who was crying with all his might
and main.
The lady looked inquiringly from Ter
ry to the gentleman,
The latter bowed, acknowledged the
implied question.
The boy has been trying to pick my
pockets" he said; land I'm going to
make an example of him." Then he add
ed. Are you particularly interested in
him."
He is one of my Sunday school schol-
airs, she said, quietly.
John Denike shrugged his shoulders,
and the girl saw and resented the mo-
ton.
You mean be doesn't do credit to my
teaching she said, hotlv; Il don't sup
pose he does. l have him just one hour
in the week. You expect that | should
offset that against the one hundred and
sixty-seven, when he Is under other in
fiuences."
John felt uncomfortable. This en-
phatic young person was certainly no,
afraid to speak her mind. He looked a,
the boy.
will you ever steal anything again ?
he asked. The child could hardly speak
through his tears.
No, won't" ne cfied, IF you'll le
me go"
John ioosed his hold, and the boy did
not wait tor permission. In breath he
was around the corner and out of sight
The young lady bowed gravely. Thank
you very much, she said. John stepped
aside. raised his hat, and in moment
she too was gone.
He half smiled to himself as he went
on his way Indeed he was rather re-
lieved. 1t had been an episode, and the
girl was certainly bright and pretty. He
put his hand in his pocket and drew it on,
with an air of satisfaction. The handker-
chief was there. 1t occurred to him tina,
he might also confirm the safety of his
pocket-book. He felt in the opposite
pocket-and felt in vain. The pocket
book was gone. He stopped short in the
street and ground his teeth. l am afraid
his thoughts were not strictly evangelical
The little beast he exclaimed with
angry emphasis. There was at leas,
thirty dollars II it-and Nellie's picture,
besides" and then regretting his folly in
letting the boy GO. and wondering if j,
would be any use to seek the police, he
turned slowly toward his home
Miss Pennyfeather, as she went on ker
way, was scarcely less disgusted then
Denike himself, without knowing as vet
the depth of Terrys turpitude, She
could not deny that his conduct was the
saddest kind of ccmmentaTy on her teach
ing. Fancy her added annoyance, when

Thro' her forced, abnormal quiet,
Flashed the soul of trolic riot,
And most malicious laughter, lighted up
her downcast eyes;
All in vain tried each topic,
Ranged from polar climes to tropic,
Every common place started, met with

For her mother, stiff and stately,
As if starched and ironed lately,
Sat erect, with rigid elbows bedded thus in

There She sat on guard before US,

And most calm, reviewed the weather and

How, without, abruptly ending

Wealthy neighbors, was the problem, which

When the butler, bowling slowly,
Uttered clearly, stitfiy, lowiy,
Madam please the gardener wants you.
Heaven, thought, has heard my prayer.
Pardon me she grandly uttered,
Bowling low | gladly muttered,
Surely, madam, and relieved turned to scan

From the side OF Delphi's mountain
When the stone that weighed upon its bouy-

So the long enforced stagnation

Now impaired five-fold brilliance to its ever

Witty, winning, from beginning,
Unto end listened, merely tlingIng in cas-

Eloquent and yet how simple,

Tongue and lip together made a music seel

Suddenly, there falls silence and we know

Stopped our animated tattle,
