RABBITS IN ORCHARDs.-In many or
chards rabbits do serious injury by
barking young trees. An ingenious
fruit-grOwer has discovered if rabbits
have access to limbs lying upon the
ground they will never attack the erect
stems Of the trees, probably because
they can more readily bark those i'm a
horizontal position. After having
made this discovery, says the accommo-
dating gentleman, we continued to
prune in different parts OF the orchard
throughout the winter, leaving the
limbs lying upon the ground for their
accommodation.

The Rev. III. G. McCook, of Philadel-
phia, eulogizes the neatness of the ag-
ricultural ant, as observed i'm confne-
ment, at any rate. The most minute
particles of dirt are carefully removed,
and the whole body is frequently and
thoroughly cleansed, especially after
eating and sleeping, They assist each
other in general cleansing, and the at
titude Of the ant under the operation
is one Of intense satisfaction, like that
of family dog being scratched, per-
feet picture of muscular surrender and
ease. Mr.. McCoOk has seen an ant
kneel down before another, and thrust
forward the head under the face OF the
other, and lie motionless, expressing
quite plainly Che desire to be clcansed :;
tho other ant understood this and went
to work. Sometimes this il combined
with acrobatic feats, In which these
ants excel, jumping about and clinging
to blades Of grass Ina a remarkable fash
ion. Sometimes the cleansing ant
hangs downward from the grass, and 10
her the ant operatedupon clings, reach
ing over and up with great agility TO
submit 10 her friends offices. EVIDENT

washing. Mr.. McCook has observed

SEAwEED JELLY.-The japanese not
only eat seaweed i'm many forms. but
they also largely employ 1t i'm their
manufactures, and showed specimens
at the Paris Exhibition. They use IL
in strong paper, dressing silk, cotton
and thread, as well as in dyeing. The
French now collect the seaweed OH
their coasts and make thao, and employ
1t at Rouen on their fine cotton goods
and prints. 1t has been observed that
rain or fog damp does not affect mater
ials dressed with thao. 1t also answers
well for sizing papers; and the only OBJ
stacle to its more extensive use is its
cost of production. 1t yields ten times
as much jelly as an equal weight of
isinglaSs, but for purposes of food that
jelly Is not quite so pleasant as an ami
NAL jelly, such as isinglass, as it does
not melt in the mouth and it contains
no nitrogen. 1t is being tried in France
In some of the hospitals, but as yet no
official report has been issued.

SCIENCE.

Professor Eikmdn, who has long been
engaged I'm the study of tue physical
condition the sea on the coast of Scan.
diuavla, has published In a paper read
before the Royal Society of Science of
Upsula his views on the causes Of
ocean currents, which merit the more
attention as the coast Of Sweden affords
numerous opportunities for the exam
ination of currents produced in very
different ways. III we take a general
view of the effects produced upon the
ocean by the different forces which or
iginally set its waters I'm motion, we
lind, singularly enough, that each of
these forces produces both of the kinds
OF stream-viZ., a surface stream caused
by limited, and a deep stream by an
unlimited, disturbance OF the equilib-
rum. Heat produces surface action
by warming the water, and a deep
stream by cooperating It. Cold can
Produce an undercurrent by the con-
traction, and still more by the concen-
tration of the water, but II then leaves
at the surface a tendency to disturbance
OF equilibrium, which shows itself i'm
the form of a surface stream on the
melting of ice. Rainfall causes a deep
stream as its Immediate CONSEQUENCE,
and surface current OF lighter water
AS secondary effect. Winds occasion
directly surface currents, and deep
streams by changing the level. Rivers,
ana similar constant outpOurinRs of
lighter water, give immediate rise only
to surface streams. but produce under
currents by mechanical reaction
streams of this kind often accompany
even the above mentioned. The spe-
cifc gravity of the water plays i'm all
these cases very varied part, but al
ways one which is In some respect or
other important. 1t usually determines
the level of the water strata, but not
always.

Plumbing Hfnts.-It appears from the

of the great weight of set wash-trays of
date, especially when full of water and
wet clothes, and provide very made
quate supports for them; that the
sweating of water pipe can be pre-
vented by covering with a non-absorb.
ent material, such as newspaper; that
a good way to prevent pipes leaking at
the joints is to grease the gasket and
surface OF the pipes with tallow before
screwing them home; that a crack In
an iron pump may be caulked with iron
hlings and sal ammoniac, so as to form
a rust joint; that water-back, which
Is too large for the boiler attached, and
consequently provides hot water i'm ex-
cess OF the demand, will generate steam
which will drive the cold water before
1t, so that when a faucet is opened
steam will escape at that point to the
