Milk from Trees.
New York Times.

Among the exhibits Of the French en-
hibition were several TASKS of vegetable
milk, sent there by the Venezuelan gov
eminent. These have been carefully
analyzed by nj. Boussingault, and in
paper descriptive of the results Of his
labors which he sent to the academy of
France, the astonishing statement is
made that this fluid, in its constituent
parts, is not only greatly like cows milk,
but III some respects is a decided i'm.
provement on that article. 1t contains
fatty matter, sugar caseine and phos-
pilates; but the relative proportions Of
these substances are such that the tluid
has all the richness and nutritiye quail
tiles of cream. NJ. BouSsingault says
that this vegetable milk was spoken of
by Humboldt, who, in his travels in
South America, had several opportuni-
ties of tasting it and of witnessing the
methods adopted by the natives for col
lecting IT, The trees of which this is
the sap grow upon the sides of noun
tain chains i'll Venezuela. The Indians
go each morning to the trees nearest to
their settlements and cut i'll them deep
missions, from which the milk pours
out in such quantities that in an hour
or two quite II large vessel is filled with
the fluid. This is taken back to the vii
lage, and forms a staple article of food
for both old and young. 1t is singular
that the rare virtues OF this plant have
never before been made public; but
now that they have been, it will be
stranger still if some effort is not made
to extend their usefulness. As long u
cows milk can be had nj every corner
grocery for few cents quart, it will
hardly pay for any one to send to South
America for supply; but if the trees
can grow wild in the mountainous part
of the torrid zone, it may be that they
are hardy enough to bear transportation
to, and transplanting in, colder coun-
tries. The science of arboriculture has
made rapid advances of late, and tram
sitions are now made which years ago
would have been deemed impossible.
AT ali events, it is pleasant to think that
u time may come when the dweller in
the country districts can forego the
trouble and expense of keeping COW,
in consequence Of the ease with which
he can obtain all the milk that his house
hold requires by tapping the trees on his
lawn or in his orchard.

rs they are with grain, there are over
2,00o,000, while in the public halls,
churches. hospitals, asylunis, banks and
theatres, between 5000 and 10000 are
comfortably established. 1t may be
safe to locate 100 rats to each or the
500 bakeries in the city, which would
give u total OF $4,000. A grand NEST
hiding" place for rats is in the hotels.
and, allowing 500 to each OF the 179
hotels, would give the number of these
permanent boarders ut $1,000. There
are about 10000 dwelling-houses, in
each OF which there dwells an average
of 10 rats, leading u quiet and retired
life, and this would rollup the rat pop.

The vicinity of the 500 piers of this city
there are estimated to be

elevators and store-houses on the river

more. Every ship that ties ut the
wharves carries u full cargo OF rodents.
The sewers throughout tho city swarm
with rats, but they are ola different
species from the houso.rat, being OF
reddish brown, OF largo size and OK
ccedinglv savage. To make any COM
putation of their number is almost inn
possible, but il is safe to say that the

lauon of SOC. 100000, Adolph Isaaosen,

A New Theory Regarding Mummie,.
journal Of Chemistry

Having observed that Egyptian mum
mics could be divided into two classes,
one embracing those bodies which had
been embalmed intact, and the other
including those bodies which had been
eyiscerated, DR. Gauselback, a Swedish
chemist of repute ana professor of the
university Of Upsal, has formed the
opinion that the mummies Of the first
class are not really dead, but are only
in a condition Of suspended animation;
though, unfortunately for historians, the
secret of bringing them again to life has
been lost. In support Of this theory he
adduces the results Of his own research
es and experiments, one Of which con-
sists in submitting snake to process,
the details Of which are Of course kept
secret, which petrifies it, In this con-
dition it has been laid aside for year
or two at a time, and is then restored to
life by some equally mysterious vivify-
ing process. This has now been going
on about fifteen years, and the snake
does not seem TO dislike il. Dr. Gausel-
back is said to have applied to the Swed-
ish government for leave to experim ent
on condemned criminal, the under
standing being that if the experiment
is successful the criminal shall receive
pardon, because ofthe service thus rem
dered to science, and, possibly. TO hu-
mainly.
