FARM AND GARDEN.

PLANT FooD.-The French govern
ment, some years ago, established an
experimental farm at Vincennes,
France, under the superintendent OF
the eminent chemist, NJ. George Vile.
Among the many experiments made by
him was that of causing wheat to grow
| in pure sand, and I'm order to destroy
any substance that would act as fer
tilizer in the sand or water used in the
experiment, the sand was burned and
the water distilled. Four large flower
pots filed with the burned sand were
used in making experiment. In the first
he put twenty-five grains of good
wheat, and watered them with the dis
titled water; the seed grew, looking
yellow and sickly, but came TO maturity
and produced 109 grains of poor, shriv-
eled wheat. In the second pot the ten
minerals that all plants require for food
were mixed with the burned sand and
y grains of good wheat planted, as in
the first case. The result still showed
sickly plants, but better developed than
the first, and at maturity yielded IA
grains. In the third pot ammonia was
mixed with the burnt sand instead OF
the ten minerals as in the second exper-
iment. In this case the plants came up
beautiful dark green giving every in
dicaIion that large crop OF seed would
be produced. But not so; the result,
although better than in the other two
pots, was only yield of l62 grains.
AmmOnia-it may be eexplained-is COM
posed of three atoms of hydrogen and
one of nitrogen, and it Is the nitrogen
in the ammonia that stimulates the
plant and enables it to appropriate the
minerals i'm the soil as Iood. In the
fourth experiment the ten minerals re-
Quired as food for all plants, united with
ammonia, were mixed with the sand,
and % grains of wheat planted asbefore,
this experiment being union rs it were
of the second and third experiments.
The result of this union was almost
magical; the plants sprang up with
great yIgOr, strong and healthy, pro-
ducing from the % seeds 423 grains of
full, good wheat. AS the sand In which
the seeds were planted and the water in
which they were watered contained no
fertilizing property, this grand result
must have been caused by the minerals
and ammonia alone. Yet great as this
result was, per cent. only of the plants
was produced by the miners ard LEO
per cent. by the ammonia; thereby
showing that 93.40 per cent. oil the
plants was produced by the air.

SCIENCE.

Hot and Cold Bdths.-The London Ian.
Get in a recent number points out the
difference between the effects of hot and
cold baths. The effects of the cold bath
it says, being mainly due to impressions
made upon the cutaneous nerves, the
notifications of the cold bath largely
depend on their power Of increasing its
stimulating action. The colder the wa
ter, the more violent the impression.
The frequent change of water, such as
is found in the sea or in running
streams, increases the stimulating ef-
feet. Great force of impact, as when
water falls from height or comes for
chilly through hose upon the body; the
division of the stream, as is seen in
shower baths and needle baths and the
addition OF acids or salt to the water,
all act, it would seem, by increasing the
stimulating power which the water ex-
erts upon the cutaneous nerves. Warm
baths produce an effect upon the skin
directly contrary TO that brought about
BY cold water. The cutaneous vessels
dilate Immediately under the influence
of the heat, and although this dilation
is followed by contraction of the ves-
sells, this contraction is seldom excess
i've; and the ultimate result of a warm
bath is to increase the cutaneous circu-
lation. The pulse and respiration are
both guickened as in the cold bath. The
warm bath Increases the temperature of
the body, and by lessening the neces-
sity for the internal production of heat,
decreases the call made upon certain VII
tai processes, and enables life to be sus-
tanned with a less expenditure of force.
While cold bath causes q certain stiff
ness of the muscles, il continued for too
long a time, q warm bath relieves stiff
ness and fatigue. The ultimate results
of hot and cold baths, if their tempera-
ture be moderate, are about the same,
the difference being, TO use the words
of Baum, that "cold refreshes by stim-
ulating the functions, heat by physical
ly facilitating them; and in this lies the
important practical difference between
the cold water and hot water systems"

BLAcKsuLLE, September, 1870
We desire to have the following ac-
count of the third annual celebration
of the Blacksmith Centennial Tree
Association inserted in your excel
lent paper The celebration was held
in Lantz's grove on Saturday August
30th. The morning was propi-
tious one, and soon the people began
to come in from every direction, and
by nine o'clock tho town was over
flowing. The brass band proceeded
to the grove, followed by an immense
crowd. The grove was tastefully
decorated with ever-greens, wreaths,
flowers mottos DC. Comfortable
seats had been prepared for about
eleven hundred people, but it was
soon discovered that the seats would
not accommodate more than e-third
of the people. We feel perfectly safe
in saying that the crowd numbered
at least three thousand, and the order
maintained by the crowd was re-
markably good. At $3.50 o'clock the
President called the meeting to order,
when the Rev. Huston Stewart con-
Quoted the devotional exercises. AZ
ter this DIR. T. M. Calvert, the Pres
ident, made the opening address. AT
ter stating the origin and objects of
the Association he spoke upon re-
ligion, morality and education, repre-
senting them as the only sure foun-
dation upon which to build a Re
publican Government. He was fol-
lowed by f. p. Lantz, Esq, who spoke
for 30 minutes upon "The Golden
Age" DR.. A. b. Miller, Prcs't of
Waynesburg College, then delivered
an excellent address, after which the
audience adjourned for dinner. 1t is
but due to the ladies Of the society
and of the community generally to
say that the fare was bountiful and
was served in most excellent style
After all had been served the Rev. NJ
M. Sweeney was introduced, who IA
vorcd the audience with pleasant
address. The Hon. VIM. Price was
them called, and he responded with a
few remarks, after which the audi
ence was dismissed with the benedic-
ton. The assemblage dispersed
we'll pleased with the celebration, and
with many good wishes for the sue
cess Of the association. The Associ-
alton promises to make their next
meeting, Of possible, surpass this
one. A. +. HosKINsoN.

DIED.-We received the intelligence
last Wednesday of the death lin Chi

erly Miss Willie Wilson, which oc-
cured on Monday, the 1st inst. The
deceased was well known to nearly
all the citizens of Fairmont and vein
ity, 1T having been only few years
since she, with her mother, was resi-
dent of this town. 1t seems hut yes
terday that Willie Wilson walked our
streets, a merry light-hearted girl,
full of life and health and radiant
with youthful beauty; now the por-
tails of earth are closed forever against
her. Her earthly joys have fed, her
beauty has faded, she has crossed
the dark and mysterious river, and
has entered the land of shadows. from
on. whose boundless limits no wan
derer has ever returned to tell Of its
undiscovered riches, or of its ever
lasting terrors to those who obey not
the laws of God. Let us hope that
Willie is now safely sheltered in the
bosom that held Abraham OF old,
and with tear for the memory of
our departed friend, we bid her fare

LOOK Our Fox SwrSDLERs.-Swin-

dlers ofvarious kinds have been oper-
ating in some of our neighboring
counties hence we would advise our
farmers to look out for these gentle
tlemen. From the Clarksburg pa
pers we learn how the operations were
conducted in chat county. A fellow
called upon numerous persons and
represented himself to be connected
with a wire clothes line company and
his object was to establish local
agencies. He represented that the
local agent wculd be required to pay
nothing and all he needed to do was
to go to the railroad station and get
the wire, on the first 100 feet sold he
was to pay nothing but on the next
100 feet he was to receive no commits
sion After that the agent was to
give half to the wire company. The
rascal conducted his operations so
well that number of men agreed to
it on condition that what wire re-
manned on hand next spring should
be returned to the company. The
Telegram says that as soon as an in
dividual assented to act as the local
agent, on these terms, the ready Mr..
Edgerly would propose having the
contract in writing, as he said "to
avoid misunderstanding in the flu
ture," and he would thereupon pull
from his pocket contract in blank
and fill it out, read it over to the par
ty and have him sign it. 1t seems
that these blank contracts were so
constructed in the wording that by
adding a syllable here and another
there, and filling out little at the
top, they became an order in writing
to the "house" or "irm," to ship the
party who signed the supposed con-
tract, so much wire at five cents a
foot. The amounts ranged from q.
600 to 1000 feet of wire, making the
account run from 800 to $3.50. The
bland Mr.. Edgerly bids the parties a
pleasant good bye" and is seen
among them no more. A week
or SO elapsed and nothing is
heard from the enterprise; then
along comes one Mr.. Geo. Young. He
informs the surprised local agent
that ''his wire is at Clarksburg" and
presents his order to the party and
says he wants the money. The party
says he never agreed to that. Mr..
Young draws the paper on him and
says to HIM "you can't deny signing
that paper. There is your name in
your own hand writing" Nine out
of ten suppose they are in for it and
either pay the money or give their
notes with interest, &c, and hope to
be able to sell the wire and get out
on it. One of the victims of this
fraud was an honest farmer who
claimed that the contract was not
right and declined to settle until he
consulted lawyer The consulta-
ton resulted in the arrest of the
agent. He was handed over to the
Prosecuting Attorney who will prose
cute him for certain transactions the
intent of which was to defraud.-
That is the proper way to dispose of
such fellows.

ATTEMPT AT HOUSE bREAKING.-
Last Saturday night two scamps
tried to effect an entrance in
to the residence of 0. H. Ollie, on
Walnut Hill, but did not sue
coed. Ollie and his family were
absent at the time, at Uniontown, or
probably the would be robbers would
not have escaped so well. We believe
the only occupants of the house at
the time were two young men employ
ed on the farm, who were awakened
by the noise and whose movements
drove the thieves away. The proba-
bilities seem to be that this county
has not sent her entire delegation to
