4 letter in the Florentine Malone
states that most interesting expert
ment was recently made at the Roman
Swimming Baths, 1t would appear
that a certain Professor Balsamo' OF
Lecce, has invented some mechanism
by means of which vessels are to be
propelled at will in any given
direction without recourse being had
to screw or rudder The efficiency of
this new propeller was tested by means
of miniature ironclad to which it was
applied. Though small, this vessel,
constructed by the professor himself,
was modelled on the type of the largest
irOnclad afloat, and was furnished with
furnace, cylinder with piston, steam
condenser, etc. The secret of the new
propeller is not disclosed, no further
clew being given than that its aim is
not to allow the course of the vessel to
be altered in virtue of the passive re-
sistance of the surface of the rudder
but in virtue of component motive
forces varying according to resultant
motion required, thus utilizing nearly
the whole live force developed by the
engines. The experiment was made
in the presence of Admirals Albini and
Pucci, commissioned TO report to the
ministry of war, as well as of several
professors of the Roman University
and the heads OF various scientific in
stitutes.

For the Youngest Young F0lkS.-Piub
White had great black and gray cat,
which was so dear to her that she would
lie down by its side on the grass and
let it purr her TO sleep.
One day Pink found that her old cat
had three kits-wee, soft balls of things.
She was so glad that she took them all
in her lap, though she was nearly as
small as they. One was pure white,
and she gave it the name of Pearl. -
One was black, and had the name
Coal" while the last one was gray
and black and white, and took the name
"Spot."
OEe time Spot was lost, and Pink
could not find her for a whole day
Pearl and Coal did not purr at all.
They felt so sad. And the old cat told
them TO walk up and down through
the house and yard till they found Spot
and she would do so too. Pink cried
and cried at the loss of her net, but
could not find ii.
AT night her papa came home, and
he went to look Tor Spot, He went up
stairs and downstairs, but she could
not be found. Then he took light
and he and Pink went out to the barn.
There they found the pussy. Where,
do you think? Why, in the corn-bin,
with her wee foot caught in the rat
trap. How she did new and NEW till
they let her out! And how she did
purr and purr in Pink's arms! And
after she had been brought back to the
house and fed with nice dish OF warm
milk, what a romp she had with Coal
and Pearll
When Spot grew up to be a fine, large
cat, she caught lots of rats and MICE
But the rat-trap IN the barn did not
catch her.

AGRICULTURE.

WHEN TO HATCH BANTAMS.-BantamS
provided they are all they should be in
points and other qualities. are more
desirable the smaller we can get them.
They have been obtained by a systema
Tie course of dwarfing for many years
in the hands of experienced breeders.
TO secure heavy, large and growthy
fowls we must hatch early and feed
literally to accomplish our object, but
with bantams the reverse is the case in
almost every particular. They must be
hatched late in the Matching season,
which is usually in July or August,
while the system of feeding must not
tend toward forcing, else YOU will snre-
ly have Overgrown specimens. Give
them good care, food and attention,
but do not pamper them, and you will
have some nice birds, provided you are
breeding from good stock; and the best
with these, as with any other stock
whatever, is none too good. Never set
your Bantam eggs under large hen or
you will have the sorrowful experience
of having about nine-tenths of them
crushed, or perhaps the other tenth,
too. Let the Bantam hen sit on the eggs
and she will prove to be a good sitter
and careful mother, especially if she is
year or more cid. Young ones of
these, like young ones of other breeds,
are not as constant as are matured ones.
Bantams, especially any of the different
varieties of the Games, which are so
small, can be left to run with the Coch-
ins and Brahmas without any fear of
mixing. Though they take up such a
small space, they should have separate
houses and yards allotted to them,
where it is convenient to do so.

SCIENTIFIC.

A Scientific Paradox. The very re-
markable phenomenon of ice and snow
forming in the brief space of few
minutes when the temperature lndl-
Gated 81 deg. Farenheit, and men were
working in their shirt sleeves, occurred
at the Union Pacific railroad company s
transfer depot. Andrew Rosewater,
who was near by, was called by the Ia
borers to witness the strange phenom-
enon, and, if possible, explain it. To
his surprise he observed large portion
of the surface of barrel of gasoline
covered with about half an incn of
what appeared to be ice and snow. To
make sure he was not deceived he
touched it and really found it cold and
frosty matter, in a semi-sOlid state, re-
sembling snow in that peculiar half
frozen and thawing condition to which
the term slush is usually applied. He
next took a portion to his lips, and,
though cold upon touch, it Immediately
dissolved into gaseous vapor, emitting
the distasteful odor of kerosene. Mr..
ROsewater, who now became consider
ably interested in the phenomenon,
scraped off all the formation from the
surface. Under il he observed very
fine streak between the slaves of the
barrel, through which, when it was
turned downward or partially inclined,
the gasoline seemed to leak. The men
who stood by then informed him that
if he turned the barrel so that it would
leak, the formation of snow and ice
would begin. This he accordingly did,
and sure enough, instead of seeing the
fluid drop steadily upon the floor, i
rapidly formed a coating of frozen mat
ter, and in less than five minutes a
surface of about eight by six inches
was covered with a layer, a quarter of
an inch in thickness, of snow and ice.
Mr.. Rosewater states that the only the
Ory upon which he can explain this
phenomena is that gasoline, like ether
and several other fluids, is of so volatile
nature that upon the slightest expos
ure il will vaporiZe. 1t is a well-knOwn
fact that all substances when changing
from a solid to fluid, or a fluid 10 a
vapor or gaseous condition, consume a
certain quantity of heat in So doing.
Ii is thus that the outer surface of the
gasoline in dropping forms into vapor,
and, in so doing, rapidlp absOrbs the
heat of the adjoining layer, making it
quite cold, and each layer in success
sion, as it evapOrates, absOrbs in turn
the heat of the other layer until so
much heat has been absorbed that ice
and snow are formed. Ii is thus that
a spray of ether steadily poured against
a tin cup full of water will, by the
ether's rapid evaporation, absorb so
much heat from the water within the
cup as TO freeze it,

HORSES THAT WILL SELL.-W hat
horses sell best? That is the question
every breeder of horses should ask him
self. The farmer carries on his busi-
hess to make money. He wants to
make it honestly. He wants to raise
such crops and such stocks as will COM
mand ready sale at prices that will pay
him Tor the skill and labor and capital
that have been employed. 1t is evident
that the horses of good size, good style,
that show good breeding, that have good
action, will always command reader
sale than horses not possessing these
qualities as possible in the stallion.
See that the brood mares have these
qualities and then you can raise colts
that in any market will command fair
prices. Size, style, action, soundness,
are the main points in sire and dam.
Give the offspring fair treatment, and
horse raising will prove as renumera-
tive as other branches of farming.

continually pottering with their horses,

watering when not dry, and keeping it

DOMESTIC.

CHEMICALS FOR HOUSEHOLD UsE.-ft
is surprising, considering how many
women have been instructed in
chemistry in school days, to find how
few hOusekeepers make any use OF
chemicals in various household pro-
cesses, Especially is this the case in
cleansing processes. The washing oi
clothes is usually wholly accomplished
by rubbing the clothes on the wash
board and with no other detergent than
soap. The rubbing of the cloth wears
them out far more than use, and if
housekeepers only knew, or, if know
ing, they would take advantage of the
fact, that many washing compounds
will almost entirely cleanse clothes
which are soaked in them over night,
and thus almost entirely do away with
the labor and wear of the washboard,
wash-day might be robbed of half its
terrOrs. Recipes for washing fluids,
the principal ingredients of which are
soda, ash, ammonia and lime, can be
found in nearly every household recipe
book, and they are very cheap and
harmless. All such washing compounds
are useful and convenient for cleaning
woodwork, panels and carpets in a
house also in washing dishes and Sc
curing that desideratum OF housekeep-
ers-clean dish-clOthes. Ammonia is
a simple cheap and harmless chemical
and should be bought by the quart and
kept in every family. A few drops
added to water will cleanse children's S
hair and make it soft and sweet; it is
an admirable disinfectant to remove
the odOr of perspiration; it will remove
grease spots from clothing, and often
restore color to stains. Its common
and frequent use can not be too fire.
quently urged. Borax is another
chemical that should find common use
in every family. For cleansing teeth
and sweetening the breath, few
grains of the powder in water is unex-
celled. 1t also softens and whitens
flannels. Salicylic acid is a perfectly
odOrless and harmless yet powerful dis
iniectant, and for many disinfecting
uses in the household is invaluable. Ii
is very cheap and convenient in form.
In these days when to stay various
forms of disease is so important, moth
ers and housekeepers would do well to
give study and thought to these things,
and to try TO make their knowledge OF
science practical. 1t is very encourag-
ing to note how many women are turn
ing their attention TO studies in general
and applied science. Let us have its
benefits eXemplified in the household.
