The Eject of Moonlight.

In the year 1875, when running in a
bark between san Francisco and Hum
boldt Bay, our provisions consisted on
the down trip, in most cases, of elk
meat purchased at Humboldt Bay, and
invariably hung up in the rigging, Gov
cred with canvas. Upon TWO occasions
when two hindquarters from the same
animal were hung up side by side, the
crew sometime in the night uncovered
one of them to cut of some pieces for
bait for the numerous fishes following
In our wake, and neglected 10 replace
the canvas covering. In the morning
the cook usticed that the meat had a
Shiny appearance, but not sUsDecting
anything, cut off sundry slices TO cook
for breakfast. The result was that the
whole ships company were made sick,
myself included, which the captain on
inspecting the quarter of meat, decided
was owing to the effects of the moons
rays, and ordered it to be thrown over
board; but the mate ridiculing this

more of the same for his dinner, and
at the same time two of he crew ate of
the tainted meat. The result was that
all three were made extremely sick,
with symptoms resembling those of
chOlera-yiz: vomiting, cramps, etc.
The rest of the crew who ate from the
other leg, were not affected, and we ate
from the one that remained until our
arrival in san Francisco. i have seen
in China seas two or three instances of
men who had slept on deck exposed TO
the rays of the full moon being attacked
with moon blindness, !" that is, unable

Big Grape Vines.

California has, probably, 20 vines,
each of which produces more than 800
lbs. of grapes As an average crop.
Among these are vines at Coloma and
Blakes, and near MOntecito and Stock
ton-representing the Sierra Nevada,
the coast mountains north of san Fran
cisco, the san Joachim Valley, the
southern coast, the level of the sea, and
an elevation OF 5000 feet above it. The
Stockton vine.. mile southeast of the
town, in the yard of Mr.. Phelps house
is a foot in diameter, and has this year
produced 5000 lbs. 2 tons according
TO the Independent. We have heard
nething lately of the yield of the Mon
tecito and Colomo big vines. We saw
the latter in 1867 when young, and it
then bore 1900 punches of grapes. The
Montecito vine grew from a cutting of
the old big vine at the same place, set
out in 1875 and cut down in 1879, when
50 years old. 1t had diameter of Is
inches, covered an arbOr ia feet lon
by Is wide, and averaged three tons
its annual yield. The big vine'
Blakes separates. at the surface of the
ground, into two stems, each SIX inches
in diameter. The vine at COloma is an
Isabella: the other three are of the
Mission variety.

1t has been said that ''the blood is the
source of life." 1t is as truly the source
of disease and death. No life, that Is to
say, no healthy tissue can be generated
from impure blood, no organ OF the
body can normally perform its fuDc-
tions when supplied with impure blood;
The fluid that should carry life and
health to every part, carries only weak
ness and disease. Blood is the source
of life, only when it is pure. If 1t has
become diseased, it must be cleansed by
proper medication, else every pulsation
of the human heart sends wave of
disease through the system. To cleanse
the blood of all impurities, use DR.:
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and
Pleasant Purgative Pellets, the most
effectual Alternative, tonic, and cathartic
remedies yet discovered. They are es-
peciqlly efficient in serofalons diseases.

Effects Of Breathing NoriOus VGpors.-
In some experiments lately made by
VI. POincare on the effects of poisoning
by sulphide of carbon, he often found
in the blood-vesselS drops, apparently
of this substance, condensed anew after
absorption by the lungs. Still, the
great volatility of the substance rem
dered this priOri, and as he has not
succeeded in chemically determining
what the drops were, he hesitated to
express the view referred to. He has
since obtained like results with other
substances not miscible with blood, and
which are much less volatile than sui
phide of carbon, especially spirit CT
turpentine and nitro-benzine. The
chemical determination, indeed, was as
difficult as before; but from the fact
that il was only in animals which had
respired these vapors, he thinks the
matter worthy of attention. Werkmen
who respire vapors of this kind are
evidently exposed to poisonous act
ion, varisbly with the vapor's compo-
sitiou, and also TO mechanical disturb
ances of the circulation and nutrition,
similar TO those produced by smbolies
and introduction of air into the veins.
Thus may probably be explained the
sudden deaths observed in the course
of experiments with those substances.
and perhaps certain fatal results from
taking chloroform have been due to
the same cause. The drops in question
in nearly all the organs, are especially
abundant in the liver, the kidneys and
the lungs.

for number of years. He was the prep

known by the name of 'Gumbo," and
in his day was noted stallion. At the
time of his death he had attained the
ripe age of tOrty-flve years and six
months. He retained remarkable
vitality to the last, and for three quar-
tiers of an hour before his demise he
stood upon his legs, proud and majes-

long been the property of Bell, who
had driven him many thousands of
miles in his lifetime, he having owned
him a period of twenty-seven years

SCIENTIFIC.

To Purify Woter.-The use of impure
water is the primary cause of many
fevers and other diseases. There are
different methods used for its purifica-
ton among which are boiling, distilla-
ton and filtration, the latter being the
fayorite method. Marsh waters i'm
many instances may be so far improved
as TO fit them for drinking and culinary
purposes by sleeping in them certain
herbs or by rubbing the inside of the
kettle they are to be boiled i'm with
hitter seeds and herbs. In China and
Japan the tea plant is used for this
purpose, and bitter almond on the
banks of the Nile. 4 writer in an
English paper gives his experience in
the publication of water which is as
follows :-''DIfferent waters like diff
ferent diseases, require different treat
ment to purify them, and all waters,
no matter how impure they may be,
can be made quite pure for drinking or
other domestic purposes without distil-
lation, providing the proper materials
be used and sufficient time allowed the
reagents to act; but i'm many samples
of water have found distillation to be
the quickest and cheapest mode of
purifying them. All filters in use,
that l am aware of, only purify the
water from solid impurities mechani-
cal!y suspended in the water. The
following is a description of a filter
that | have often used, which purifies
| foul water from organic impurities
held in solution as well as from sus-
pended solids Take any suitable ves-
sci with perforated false bottom and
cover it with layer of animal char
coal; on the top of that spread layer
of iron filings, borings or turnings, the
| finer the better, mixed with charcoal
dust; on the top of the filings place a
layer OF fine, clean, sillicious sand and
you have a perfect filter. Allow the
water TO filter slowly through the
above filter and you will produce a re-
markably pure drinking water. Before
placing the iron filings in the filter
they should be well washed In hot
solution of soda or potash TO remove
oil or other impurities, then rinse them
in clean water; the filings should be
mixed with an equal measure of fine
charcoal If the water is very foul it
must be allowed to filter very slowly.
The deeper the bed of iron filings
is, the quicker they will act. The
above is simple, cheap and very efii-
cient filter, superior TO any that know
of, and it has the advantage OF being
free to every one who chooses TO make
il. l have not taken out patent for 1t,
and am not aware of any other person
having done so. l think l am the only
person who has ever used it. The
foulest ditch wafer treated as above is
rendered quite pure and fit for drink
ing. l may mention that L have made
il practice during the last twenty
seven years 20 boil all my drinking
water. Ii is the safest plan for man
moving from place TO place. You can
not always carry filter and chemicals
about with you, but you can always
manage to get boiled water. People
talk about it being vapid and tasteless,
but am used to it and like it.
