THE washer-women Of Holland and
Belgium, 81 proverbially clean, and
who get up their linen so beautifully
white, use refined borax as a washing
powder instead Of soda, in the portion
Of a large handful Of pulyerized borax
TO about ten gallons OF boiling water.
They save In soap nearly One-half. All
other large washing establishments
adopt the same mode. For laces, cam
brlcs, ETC., an extra quantity Of powder
Is used, and for crinolines (required TO
be made very stiff, a strong solution is
necessary. Borax being a neutral salt,
does not in the slightest degree injure
the texture of the linen; its effect is to
soften the hardest water, and therefore
IL should be kept on every toilet table.
To the taste 1t Is rather sweet, is used
for cleaning the hair, is an excellent
dentifrice, and in hot countries is used
with tartaric acid and bicarbonate of
soda as a cooling beverage. Good tea
cannot be made from hard water; all
water can be made soft by adding a tea
spoonful Of pulverized borax to an ordi-
nary sized kettle of water, in which 1t
should boil. The saving in the quantity
of the tea used will be at least one-fifth.

SCIENTIFIC.

A description appears Of a remarkable
clock, which, In addition TO other
special features, has an electrical at
tachment which renders it, for the
purpose for which Il Is used-that Of
rating chrOnometers-as nearly perfect
as can be. IL is called an astronomical
clock, with mercurial compromising
pendulum. Every time the pendulum
vibrates, It's lower point made Of pla-
tinum, passes through an insulated
bulb Of mercury, which alternately
breaks and connects the circuit of a
battery with a little sounder that taps
the seconds. To this sounder is at
tached a little ratchet wheel with ten
ratchets, and at each tap Of the sounder
the wheel moves one ratchet. At the
tenth ratchet a platinum arm goes into
a drop Of mercury, making a circuit
with another sounder, thus giving every
tenth second a tap which, being louder
than the other, is easily distinguishable.
This ~ten-second sounder enables the
operator at the first rating to ate the
chronOmeter to half a second, and at
succeeding ratings TO reduce the COM
putatiOn of the error to an infinite frac-
ton, and by II the operator can rate
c~hrOnometers almost as fast as they are
put before him. The convenience lies
In the fact that every tenth second being
distinguishable by sound, the clock
need not be watched.

Some evidence to show that the moon
has a zodiacal light is presented by Mr..
L. TrouvelOt of the Cambridge Mass
observatory in a communication TO the
last number of the American Journal OF
Science and Arts. On the evening OF
April 3, 1874, when the ordinary
zOdiacal light was especially brilliant,
he saw aluminous cone, resembling the
tail of a comet, with its base resting on
the moon, and its length, which was
eight or ten times the moons diameter,
extending parallel with the ecliptic.
1t was on the western side of the moon
and could only be seen with distinct
ness by obscuring the direct light OF
the moon itself. A similar cone was
seen by Mr.. Trouvelot, later In the
same evening, on the eastern side of the
moon, having its axis coincident with
that of the other. There were excessive
magnetic perturbatiOns at Cambridge
that night, and the aurora was visible /:
whence Mr.. Trouvelot is disposed to
regard these remarkable a~ppendages of
the moon as belonging to the same
order of phenomena as the zodiacal
light.

EXPERIMENTS WITH CoRN.-We find
In the CultivdtOr of III that DR.. Parker
planted corn on upland, 4 by 4 feet,
2,700 stalks to the acre, and gathered %
bushels.
la his second experiment, he planted
3 feet by 10 inches, 17,400 stalks to the
acre and gathered l47 bushels.
In his third experiment, he planted
216 feet by 10 inches--a trife over 2
square feet to the stalk, 1000 stalks to
the acre, and gathered 200 bushels.
There are 43 $50 square feet in an
acre. These experiments indicate that
the limit of crowding corn has not yet
beech reached; but it must be remem-
bered that the propriety Of thus crowd
ing depends much upon the character
OF the soil, its strength and moisture.
Low, rich, moderately damp lands will
bear crowding the best, while it would
scarcely be profitable to crowd beyond
the first experiment above on high,
rolling, or fiat sandy soils. Whenever
crOwdlng is done richness and moisture
must be present.

BUSHELS IN HEAP or GRAIs.-To
prevent too much handling Is Is well TO
know how 10 measure grains Ia piles
First rule: Throw up the piles into
complete cones as high as the grain will
permit. Measure accurately the slant
height from base 10 apex, and multiply
this length by itself. Measure the per-
pendicular height Of the one and null
tiply this length by itself. Sub
tract one OF these sums from the other,
and multiply this remainder by the
height Of the cone. From this amount
take one-sIxth Of itself, and the remain
der will be the number Of bushels in
the heap.
Second rule: Throw up the grain into
as complete a O n as possible, having
the base as nearlya circle as practicable.
Then multiply the AREA Of the base by
the height OF the cone and take one
third the product. This will give the
number Of cubic feet. From this de-
drct one-fifth OF itself, and the remain
der is the number of bushels.
The reasons Of this rule are plain and
simple. The base Is a circle, and its
area is found by multiplying the cir.
conference by one.fourth the diameter.
The product resulting from multiply
ing this area by the height Of the cone
would give the contents Of a cylinder /;
but a cone is one-third of a cylinder,
having the same base and the same altl-
tude, hence we take one-thlrd of this
product 10 find the cubic feet In a cone.
From this amount we deduct one-ifth
nf ftuaIf hacanaa a huohaI Ia naarIu nna-
ifth larger than a cubic foot. Let us
illustrate. Suppose you had a cone of
shelled oats in your barn ten feet In
diameter at the base. The circumfer-
ence will be 3l.50 feet, because this is
about the relative length of the two
lines, the diameter being taken as one,
the circumference will measure 3.l46.
Now multiply 3lK feet by ~ u the
diameter) and we have 7SA as the num-
Der of square feet in the base of the pile
of oats whose diameter Is ten feet. Now
suppose the cone (pile of oats) to be
four feet and a half high, "A of this is
IL feet. Multiply 1874 by ~ and we
have llS16 cubic feet IN the pile. De-
duct one.fifth of this number, or 2356,
from itself and we have 941a bushels Of
shelled oats In the pile, If ten feet in
diameter at the base, four and a half
feet high and thrown up to a Joint.
If the pile is against the side of the
house it will contain half that number
of bushels. If in a corner it will on
tain on%e-fourth.
This system of measurement will be
sufficiently accurate to estimate a crop
so as TO let the farmer know about how
much he has made But If he is buying
or selling, he should do both always by
weight, as some honest men ma have
very large half bushel measures,

The United States Supreme Court has
liuot rendered an Interesting decision de.
tlHing the rights of colored people in
public conveyances. A New Orleans
colored woman of considerable wealth
named Josephine De CUR, was refused
admission to the upper cabin of a Mis-
sissippi steamboat on the ground that il
was reserved for white people. She
sued in the Louisiana courts and got q
judgment of damages in $1,000 against
the owners of tho boat. The Supreme
court of the United States reverses this
decision, ruling that the laws do not
forbid steamers to have separte cabins
and dining-rooms for blacks and whites
that equality does not mean identity,
and that the owners of the boat had a
right TO keep separate persons disagree
able to each other.
