Ground Honey In Abyssinia.

NJ. Pierre Arnoux, when travelling in
Abyssinia, discovered in small cavities
of the soil species of honey without
wax, produced by an insect resembling
large gnat. He brought portion Of
the substance back to France, and it was
submitted for analysis to M. Villiers,
who has Just laid the result of his in.
vestigati0n before the Academy of Sci.
ences. He finds that the composition
of the honey is as follows: Water, 25.5;
fermentable sugar (but no cane sugar.,
%; mannite, 8; dextrine, 27.9; ashes,
IS; divers matters, 81; total, 100. The
fermentable sugar was calculated BY the
ordinary methOds-that is to say, by
comparing its power of polarizing light
before and after being subjected to the
action of acids, then before and after
fermentation, and finally by an estima-
tion of the quantity of carbonic acid
produced in the latter operation. The
mannite (the active principle of mammal
was extracted by exhausting the honey
fermented and reduced to syrup BY
weak alcohol, and treating the liquor,
evaporated and left for several days un.
der . bell glass, BY strong alcohol, which
leaves the mannite in the form of acrys.
talline precipitate. The quantity given
above of this substance is clearly mini
mum, the identity of which is proved
by various tests. The fermentable mat
ter was evaporated to the consistence Of
syrup, then mixed cold with concen-
trated sulphuric acid and poured into q
large quantity of boiling water, to turn
the dextrine into glucose. A cslcula-
tion Of the latter then gave the amount
of sugary matter contained in the honey.
Finally, the latter contains small pro.
portion of some acrid principle, the ma
ture of which n. Villiers has not yet
been able to determine. The compost
tion of this honey resembles the mamma
of Sinai and Kurdistan, formerly ana
lysed BY NJ. Berthelot, that Of the sugar
found IN the leaves Of the plane tree BY
Boussingault, - well ~ that of ordinary
honey. II is, however, distinguished
from all those substances by the tota
absence of cane sugar. In Abysdnia
this substance il collected BY the natives
and used - . remedy for affections ol

BREAD forms one of the most impor-
tant parts of the ration of the German
soldier. In time of peace, while he re.
ceives only five and one-quarter ounces
of uncooked meat daily, the private SOL
dier is supplied day by day with one
pound and nine ounces of bread; when
fighting for the fatherland every officer
and man with the mobilized army is en-.
titled to free ration Of over two pounds
of bread, and field bakery trains and
steam ovens for providing the large
amount of bread required form a recog-
nized part Of the equipment of an army.
In some recently published articles,
however, the AAgenseins Mil;tar- Zeitung
strongly advocates the abolition of all
such travelling bakeries, insisting that
fresh bread is not necessary for the sus
tenance of men On active service, and
that it would be far wirer to abandon
the attempt now made to supply them
with it, except indeed under very ex-
ceptionally favorable circumstances.

In the early winter singular phenom-

/ In the early winter singular phenom-
enon was reported to have occurred in
the port off Smyrna. The salt water in
the harbor froze, while the fresh water
in the city showed no trace Of ice. The
fact was the more extraordinary, be.
cause the former requires much greater
degree of cold to CONCEAL it than the lat.
ter. A similar event recently happened
at Havre. There had been a white frost
in the morning, but the thermometer
had fallen so little that the pools Of
rain water about the streets had barely
q trace of ice on their edges. BY an ab.
solutely inexplicable contradiction, the
sea.water in the commercial basin was
entirely covered with thick layer Of
ice, a circumstance which had not oc.
CURED even during the severest cold Of
the past season.

charged with the duty of collecting a
certain amount of money, and it is the
business of the people to distribute the
taxes among themselves as they like the
best. For the prompt collection, in the
first place, the representative is respon-
sible, and in case of tardiness he is i'm.
prisoned for a week with common crimi.

of three cents day. A district is
obliged to pay for all its members,

have gone elsewhere, or are in the army.

The house of the Connecticut legisla-
ture has passed a bell-punch excise bill
which requires all who sell intoxicating
liquors to keep q record Of every glaas
disposed Of. 1t provides a tax Of 81
cents on each glass of liquor and ! cent
on each glass of beer. In the progress
OF the debate it was said that the esti.
mated revenue would be $116, 900, taking
basis approximate total receipts daily
from liquor eales of $l3,75O and from
beer of $2,730. But this figuring was on
q: percentage on gross sales and not ON
each glas, and was manifestly incorrect,
though it was not discovered. II the
estimate Of receipts is correct, the tax on
sales by the glass, assuming liquor to av.
erage 10 cents glass and beer cents,
would amount yearly to u, ,072, 444 from
liquor, and 4l14,8S0 from beer, the tar
actually being Is per cent. on gros sales
OF liquor and 10 per cent. on beer. The
bill provides that the punch to be adopt.
ed shall be selected BY . commission to
be appointed by the governor.

a Catholic priest in correspondence
mentions two curiosties of nature
not far apart, 40 miles from Fort
Wrangel. One is glacier, coming
down to the ocean. The immense
glacier is said to reach the salt water
through a gorge in the mountains,
and to be so miles long. Its crest
is composed of immense blocks Of ice
separated by chasms of a tremendous.
depth; its heights variously estimated
and ranges from 400 to ! 800 feet.
We ascended that glacier, the Arch
bishop, myself and two young men,
crawling up until we reached the top,
from which we enjoyed Il magnificent
view of Stickeen River and of the
snow-capped mountains in the dis
tance.
The other is some hot springs to
the number OF at least twelve, out Of
which the water boils and streams,
and keeps the ground all around COW
cred with luxurious vcrdure, melting
all snow as fast Is it falls.

Several months ago Messrs. Eldridge
& Warren, and Messrs. Morse & Co.,
loggers of Whatcom county, started
two logging camps at the lower end of
Puget Sound, lust across the line into
British Columbia. The camp Of the
former being located six miles the
other side of the line, and that of the
. latter parties one-half mile. They had
both secured exceptionally fine timber
claims at low figure, and there being
no duty on that side on saw logs in the
rough, expected to profit largely by
the operation. According to the pro
visions of the Canadian tariff, however,
an export duty of 81 per thousand is
imposed on saw logs. But they ex-
pected to avoid the payment of this
through a technical flaw in the law.
Namely, that the kinds of saw logs
subject to such duty are enumerated as
spruce, hemlock, white and Douglas
pine, etc. No mention being made of
fir or Oregon pine, to which class all
Puget Sound logs belong The local
custom house official took the same
view of the matter, and they accord
ingly went ahead and shipped away
some two million feet of logs unmo-
Tested, obtaining ready sale for them
at prices above the average, on account
of the superior quality of the timber.
Having filled their booms again they
sent up to Seattle last week and char
tered II steamer to tow away a million
feet more, but ere the steamer had ac-
comp!ishcd this task their booms, camp
equipments and all had been seized 10y
a revenue officer for the non-payment
of export duty on the logs already
taken away, the collector of the prov
ince having decided that fir or Oregon
pine was Douglas pine, and that they
had consequently been shipping then
logs in violation of law. There are
only two alternatives left them: either
to sell their logs at $3.50 per thousand
to the Columbia mill companies and
pay tho duty out of the proceeds on
the logs already shipped, or pay up the
duty, clear their logs, and send to thi'
side and sell them for $3.50 minus the
export duty. 1t will cost them &C
cents per thousand for towase either
way SO they only realize &3.l0 70,
their logs the best way they can fix it
This example will, Of course, put "a stor
to Puget Saunders logging in Eritisl
Columbia, at least until the price Of
logs improves materially.
