Instantaneous Photography.

Mr.. Maybridge's method of photo
graphing horses in rapid motion has
lately been applied in San Francisco to
the study of human action, particularly
that of athletes, while performing their
various feats. In order to display as
completely as possible the movements
of the actors muscles, they wore brief
trunks only while performing, and thus
all the intricate movements of boxing,
wrestling, fencing, jumping and tum-
bling were instantaneously and exactly
pictured. The first experiment con-
sisted in photographing an athlete while
turning back somersault.
He stood Ill front Of the camera, mo-
tionless, aud at sign sprung into the
air, turned backward, and in a second
was again in his original position.
Short as was the time consumed four
teen negatives were clearly taken,
showing him in as many different posi-
tons. The same man was also taken
while making a running high jump.
The jumping-g gauge was placed at the A.
foot notch in order to give an easy
Jump, for in making it fourteen stout
hempen strings had to be broken, as in
photographing trotting horses. From
the camera to point beyond the line
on which the Jump was made a number
of strings were stretched. The two
base lines were only few inches above
the ground, and from them to the apex
the strings were placed equal distances
apart. In jumping, seven of the strings
were broken in ascending and seven
in descending. The strings were faulty
drawn, and so connected with the came
ra that as each one parted a negative
WIS produced. Other pictures were
taken of men raising heavy dumb-bells'
and the various movements of boxing
fencing and the like.-LOndon Tim es

A Wonderful Occurrence.

Since the days of Ben Franklin and
the generation Immediately following,
it has been supposed that an umbrella
is common property. Within the mem
DRY of the oldest man living, there has
been found no exception to the rule un-
til last week, when DIR. Warren Frazier,
of this city, was on his way to st. Louis,
and, CHANGING to put his umbrella down
in the depot of the Ohio and Missis-
sippi railroad at Cincinnati for mo-
ment, returned and found it gone. He
made diligent search, but left without
finding it. To his establishment, when
he returned home he found awaiting
him a letter from p. w. Williams, Of
Aurora, Ind, stating that he had taken
it for his own, and had not discovered
the mistake until he reached home,
where he CHANGED to open it and found
the doctors name in it. He asked
what should be done with it, and when
advised sent it per express, prepaid.
This is an extraordinary variation of
the prevailing umbrella ethics of the
country, and deserves commendation.-

Cheap Food for Englishmen.

OF food, cheap food and good food,
Englishmen are now eagerly writing
and talking. The coming winter prom
ises to be wofully hard one among
the British laborers, and the starving
agonies of India may, it is feared, be
repeated in Ireland. Again the En-
g'ish journalist chants the praise OF corn
meal, OF the small American bean, CT
cheap and delicious French stew and
soup. He will probably have his song
for his pains, for if there be anything
as to which the ignorant Briton's preju-
dice is immovable, it is food. The
great ambition of his inner man is to
have enormous chunks of meat three
times day, accompanied by plenty of
beer. Cheese and miserable bread 60
to fill up the bill of fare. The awful
scorn with which the English NAVY"
contemplates hominy, or samp, or hasty
pudding, or pork and beans, is calcu-
lated to scorch the beholder. The wife
of an English laborer will live, day in
and day out, upon bread, beer, horri-
BILE decoction of stuff supposed to be
tea, and once in while an extensive
cut of meat; the proposal to make a
delicate, nourishing stew or soup out
of cheap pieces of meat, or to make an
occasional breakfast of hominy and
milk, would rouse her deepest contempt.
1t will be sadly long before either
or cooking schools lead the
English to feed we'll; their disgust for
new articles of food to which they are
unused is as intense as their adherence
to the coarse and rude kitchen methods
of their feudal ancestors.

Looking for Traces Of PharaOh's Army.

The Able Meigne of Paris wants
100000 francs as capital with which to
start an expedition in search of the re-
mains of Pharaoh's army. His object
is not only to pick up such valuables as
may be at the bottom of che Red sea,
but, by finding the whole or any part of
the Egyptian host, to demonstrate the
truth of that part of the Bible which
tells of their destruction. The Able
has a heavy undertaking before him.
Nobody knows the precise spot where
Pharaoh went down, nor can anybody
tell, without costly excavations in the
wet sand, how much solid matter now

any of the apparatus of Egyptian war
fare should be brought up, it may serve
as circumstantial evidence that the place
has been found where the host was
drowned. But if the Able and his as
ISOLATED capitalists should fail to find
any trace of the King or his followers,
the scriptures will still be as true as
ever. and the enterprising F2enchmen
will be out their 100000 francs.

TRAINING DAIRY COwS.-In business
like dairying, where so much depends
upon the quantity and quality of the milk,
the owner will inevitably lose money and
eventually 90 to the wall unless special care
is exercised in the selection of the cows.
Whatever the breed, first the inferior ones
and next the ordinary COWS should be con
scientiously weeded out from year to year.
1t makes no difference what the breed
may be, these will always be found. Not
that there is no choice 10 breeds; there is,
and they must be selected with a view to
what is wanted, whether butter or cheese.
Whatever the breed, none but the best
breeders should be selected to perpetuate
the race, and as fast us developed the best
should be retained. There is also very
much in this question of development. An
animal that,under good care and attention,
will turn out il superior mixer, will, un.
der adverse treatment, prove worthless.
When the first calf is produced, the heifer
should be carefully handled; she should be

1t is curious, by the way, what ails the
pine trees about this section Our atten-
ton was first called to the matter by Mr..
Gilmore while ut his house, where the
little pines set about the grounds for orna-
mont were apparently dying, some being
quite yellow and dead, while others were
showing dead needles on some branches
only. We had noticed the appearance
on pines lower down in Thetford but
supposed some local cause produced the
result. Mr.. Gilmore first Noticed it in
early spring, we believe, in one of the
pines set beside the highway; some of the
needles dying, which soon spread over the
whole tree. The same was soon noticed
us general, and the whole fringe of pines
skirting the hillside and foot of the bluff
are turning yellow and dead, so rs to be
noticeable from the car windows. The
cause is wholly in the dark Some had
suggested that the sulyhurous fumes from
the Ely mines, brought by continuous
southerly winds, had done the mischief,

WHAT CAUSES GRAY CoLoRS IN AM
MALs.-In the PlOaqhman Of April 12lh
there is an extract from the LiUe Stock
Journal concerning the absence of gray
color among the thoroughbred horses of
England, and the presence of gray colors
that turn to white, among the Arab horses.
The first is attributable entirely to care in
not coupling animals of consanguinous re-
lationship; and the last is caused by pro-
tracted breeding of families in-audi in I"
as we call it. Whenever there is a depart
ure from the normal color of any class of
animals. and that towards lighter one, in
precisely such proportion is there u weak
ness in blood and stamina as compared
with those having the normal color. This
was the expressed opinion Of the late Prof.
Agassiz.-Cor. Mass Roughman.
And we do not believe all this. Some of
the toughest best horses we ever saw, have
been gray in color, and "iron-gr " is
regarded as an indication of toughness.

MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COL |
LEGR.-The Massachusetts, legislature hav-
ing declined to divert any portion of the
dog fund to the permanent support OF the
State Agricultural College. finally passed
an act appropriating thirty-two thousand
dollars to pay the present Indebtedness of
that institution. The act also STIMULATES
that the expenses of the institution shall
be kept within the income to which it is
legally entitled, and the board of trustees
shall be personally liable for any debt con-
tracted for any purpose in excess of the
assured income of the college, or for the
payment of which money has not been
previously provided. Feeling that there
has been gross mismanagement in the ad-
ministration of this institution, it is also
enacted that the governor and council
he requested to examine the affairs of the
college, and report to the next general
court some plan for its permanent continu-
ance, with its relations to the state delini-
tely fixed, or some plan for its discontinu-
ance, but with the provision, in any event,
that its finances shall from this time be
finally separated from the treasury of the
commonwealth.
No intelligent friend of agriculture
would desire for moment to see the
means for educating the farming classes
abridged in any direction, no well-wsher
for the true development of this noble art
would desire any legislation looking to the
discontinuance of this state agricultural
experiment at Amherst, yet it is evident
to all impartial observers that neither the
Legislature just adjourned, nor the mass of
farmers in this state, endorse the extrava-
giant, impractical and questionable pro-
ceedings which have characterized past
management. The board of trustees have
it now in their power to institute needed
reforms, to reduce the expenses by cutting
down the salaries of the professors as we'll
as of the president, by reducing the num-
Der of the faculty, by placing the farm in
the hands of same competent superintend-
ent, who would at least have something to
show for his annual expenditure The
management of the State Agricultural
College are now on trial before the bar of
public opinion. A generous common
wealth has liquidated their Indebtedness,
prohibiting further liabilities other than
those of a personal character, and awaits
the developments of the present year in
the determination of the question of "per-
manent continuance or "discontinuance. !"
Let us hope that the trustees will abandon
personal ambitions for the public good,
and remembering that the college was en-
dowed solely for the advancement of the
far ner's interests. strive to win the aid,
esteem and confidence of those who have
at heart the good of agriculture, thus en-
surfing the perpetuity of an institution
which properly and judiciously administer
ed ought to rebound TO the pride and profit
of every citizen.-Am. Caltiuator.
