SCIENCE.

Experiments on the Structure Of IroH.-
The experiments made by NJ. Fresca,
on the effects Of forging on the struc-
ture Of iron, are published by the for
eign journalistic fact, as shown by
him, being the tendency 10 parallelIsm
Of all the hbres which originate In
dr~awing-out under the hammer, and
which are separated from the neighbor-
ing fibres by a cementing substance de-
rived from the incorporated cinder, fill
ing up all the void spaces between the
fbres. This matter, according 10 Nj.
Fresca, Is frequently Of n vitreous ma
ture, very rich in oxide Of iron, and,
when IL Is not burned of or pulveriZed
at the surface of the piece when In the
hands of the smith, II follows all the
varieties of form 10 which the piece is
shaped in its several parts. An oblOng
piece of iron may, says M. Fresca, be
compared TO a hank of parallel threads,
which will interock with each other
when il Is attempted to draw them out
lengIhwise, but which will separate In
a much less regular manner when they
are drawn in the Gro swise direction,
at the risk Of throwing into confusion
the regularity of the original arrange
ment-forming knots and v0ids.
The weakening effect Of this latter Is
well exemplitied by the specimen Of a
railing bar, in the formation Of which a
rectangular bar is transformed, in re-
spect of It's transverse section, into a
number of %rectangles and circles regu-
larly distributed, the fibres In the cir
cular parts losing the parallclism which
is visible in the rectangular parts-a
condition which would be critical,
were it not that the central part of the
enlargement is afterwards to be bored
out. The interpositiOn Of the friable
sillcates between the fbres which are
more properly metallic, is a serious
point.

AGRICULTURE.

KICKING Cows.-It not unfTequently
happens tina; the very best mixers In
the dairy herd IL sem TO the butcher on
account CT her viclons kicking, or I'M
easy stepping about while being milk
ed, Owners find such animals too
troublesome, and In despair OF curing
the animals, prefer 10 get rid Of them.
Some helfers are said TO inherit the
habit, but IL is oftener acquired through
the bad treatment received at the hands
Of their o~are-iakers. Prevention in
this case is much better tnan cure and
a heifer should be accustomed 10 being
handled long before having her hrst
calf. and especially just before that
event.. Pet a finals have no such fault,
and the law of kindness is never more
productive of good results than In the
case OF milk cows. A rough, brutal
man should never be employed In the
care Of dairy stock. But, supposing
the habit be formed, how can IL lie cur
ed? A Vermont correspondent of the
New York Tribune recommends buck
ling a sursingle tight about the body
just forward Of the udder. The prlnci-
pie, probably, is that the muscles used
In kicking are so hampered that the
AZ lmal finds 1t easier TO stand still.
The correspondent says it never failed
with him. We saw the same thing re-
commended a few years ago, and put 1t
In practice with a three-yeaT old heifer
we had just bought. With us 1t was
not a success; Tar from I. The beast
was terrified beyond measure at the
unwonted pressure, and in her efforts
10 free herself got cast, the COW, man,
milk pail and principle brought up in
the same genera | ruin. A much
better way, and the one adopted
with success in this instance, is TO sit
down as close to the COW as possible,
with the knee snug against her leg. In
this position il is almost impossible for
hurt you. Have little or nothing TO
say to her, and above all things do not
yell out 80, boss!" every time she
makes a step. Pay close attention TO
b~uslnessand milk as rapidly as possible.
Pat her and speak kindly in going into
the stall, and never at any time let her
get the idea that you have al y fear of
her. Another correspondent of the
same paper recommends building the
COW into her stall in such a way that
she cannot move in any direction, and
pinioning her right foot. The proba-
bility is that a tinid COW in such a pill
lory would be utterly ruined by her
struggles to free herself, and wen II
she were kept quiet would hold up her
milk. The heroic ION the part of the
NAM treatment will be found far The

DOMESTIC.

SNow-RAIsED BREAD.-l have his
morning for breakfast, says a writer,
partaken Of a s~now-raised bread cake,
made last evening, as follows: The
cake when baked weighed about three
quarters Of a pound. A large table,
spoonful OF fine, dry, clean snow was
intimately stirred with a spoon into the
dry -four, and TO this was added a table
spoonful of caraways and a little but
ter and salt. Then sufficient cold water
was added to make the dough Of the
proper usual consistence Simply
stirred with a spoon, not kneaded with
the warm hands), and IL was imme-
dlately put into the oven and baked
three-quarters of an hour. lie turned
out both light and palatable. The
reason appears TO be this: the light
mass of interlaced NOW crystals hold
together a large quantity Of condensed
atmospheric air. which when the snow
Is warmed by thawing very rapidly in
the dough, expands enormously and
acts the part of carbonic acid gas In
either baking powder or yeast. take
the precise action to be, then, not due
In any way to the snOw itself, but
simply to the expansion of the fixed air
lodged between the interstices OF the
snow crystals by application of heat.
This theory, If carefully followed out,
may perhass give u clue TO a simple and
perfectly i%nnocuOus method of raising
bread and pastry, and stops the discus
sion as to whether alum In baking
powders is deleterious to health or
otherwise.

The Destruction Of Forests.

A writer who has been making a study
of forest trees, their rapid destruction in
this country, and their effect on climate
and health, says that since 1885 the for
est area of the Western Hemisphere has
decreased at the yearly average rate of
100000 acres or about II 900 square
miles, and that this rate in the United
States alone has advanced from 1000
square miles in 1885 TO 1000 in 1855,
and S400 in 1876, while the last two years
have scarcely been less exhaustive. Sta.
tistics for 80 years previous to 1885 show
that we have been wasting the supply of
moisture to American soil at the average
rate of Z per cent. for each quarter of
century during the last 125 years, and
that we are now approaching the limit be-
yond which any further decrease will ma
terially influence the climate of the entire
continent Many Eastern regions, such
as Afghanistan, Persia, India and Asia
Minor, once possessed Of fine climate
and abundant harvests, are now often
scourged by pestilcnce and famine, and it
is altogether probable that their misfor-
tunes began with the disappearance of
their native forests. 1t is quite likely
that we shall suffer 10 climate, fertility
and health before a great while if we con
tinue to destroy our trees as recklessly as
We have done, and it behoovcs us to be
warned in time. What has happened else
where may certainly happen here. Indeed,
there is great danger Of it, for we know
By experience that fertile lands have
grown sterile by loss of trees, and that
sterile lands have in turn become fertile
by systematic planting. A certain pro-
portion of well-wooded, as well as of ara
bic and pasture land is essential to our
material prosperity, and this proportion
can never be kept up, unless regular tree
planting be adopted as a set-off to the ex-
cessive destruction necessarily going on.
For $50 years we have been Telling the
forest for the next $50 years We should
try to restore what we have taken away

A Western Wonder.

The greatest wonder in the State of
Iowa aud perhaps any other State is what
is called the "Wallcd Lake." in Weight
county, twelve miles north of the Dubu-
que and Pacific Railway, and one hundred
and Fifty miles west Of Dubuque city. The
Lake is from two to three hundred feet
higher than the carth's surface. In some
places the wall is ten feet high; width at
bottom fifteen feet, and at the top FIVE
Another fact is the size of the stones used
in construction; the whole of them varying
in weight from three tons down to one hun
dred pounds. There is an abundance of
stones in Weight county; but surround
ing the lake to the extent of FIVE or ten
miles, there are none. No one can form
an idea as to the means employed to
bring them TO the spot or who constructed
it. Around the entire lake is belt Of
woodland halfa mile in width, with this
exception the country is rolling prairie.
The trees must have been planted there at
the time of building of the walls. In the
spring of 1856, there was a great storm,
aud the ice on the lake broke the wall in
several places and the farmers 10 the vi
einity were obliged to repair the damages
to prevent inundation. The lake occupies
ground surface Of two thousand eight
hundred acres; depth of water as great as
twenty-five feet The water is clear and
cold; soil sandy and loamy. 1t is singu-
lar that no ono has been able to ascertain
where the water comes from and where it
goes, yet It is always clear and fresh.

he reached the top in an instant he was

THE MoNEYLEss MAN.

The following was composed by our talented and
with 3ut one exception, the finest American poet
was recently recited By one OF the finest actors on
the English stage In the city OF London and won
the applause Of thousands OF Englands most classic
and refined:
Is there no secret place on the face of the cash
Where charity dwelleth, where virtue hath blrths
Where bosoms in mercy and kindness will heaye
And the poor and the wrclehed shall ask and re-
eeiyegn
Is there no place on earth where a knock from the
poor
WIN bring kind angel to open the door,
All! search the wide world wherever you can
There Is no open door for a moneyless man!
Go look In yon hall where the chandeliers light
Drive of with It's splendor the darkness OF night
Where rich hanging velvet In shadowy fold
Sweeps gracefully down with It's trimming OF gold
And the mirrors OF silver take up and renew
In long lighted vistas, the wildcring view
Go there in your patches, and find, ifyou can,
welcoming smile for moncyless man!
Go look in yon church OF the cloud reaching splre
Which gives back 10 the sun HIS same look OF red
FIRE:
Where the arches and columns are gorgeous Within
And the walls seem as pure US a soul without sin;
Go down the long alsle-see the rich and the great
In the pomp and pride Of their worldly estate
Walk down In your patches aud find. II you can,
Who open pew to moneyless mani
Go look to yon Judge in his dark flowing gown
With the scales wherein law Neighcth equity down,
Where he frowns the weak and smiles on the
strong
And Furnishes right while he justlhes wrong
Where jurors their lips on the Bible have laid,
To render verdict they've already made
Go there in the court -rOom and find, II you can.
ANY law for the cause ofa moneyless man.
Go look In the banks where Mammon has told
His hundreds and thousands Of silver and gold
Where safe from the hands Of the staryIngand poor
Lies pile upon pile ofthe glIttering ore
Walk up to the counter-ah, there you may stay
TIL your limbs grow old, and your hairs turn gny
And youll find at the banks not one Of the clan
With money to lend to a moneyless mani
Then go to your hoyel no raven has fed
The wife who has suffered too long for her bread.
Kncc down by her pallet and kiss the death frost
From the lips OF the angel your poverty lost,
Then turn In your agony upward TO God.
And bless, while II smltcs you the Christening rod;
And you'll find at the end Of your LIES little span,
There's welcome above for moneyless mani
