Charcoal as an agent for the purlfi-
cation OF water not only holds back
colOring matters and decomposes and
partially retains most mineral salts and
gases, but it absorbs and detains the
most varied organic compounds, nitro
genOus and non-nitrogeEouS. Claude
Bernard first demonstrated its import
ant power of absorbing albumen, pow
er which increases with the quantity OF
the latter, the time of contact, and with
the concentration of the liquid to be
filtered, and which is the more lmpor-
tant rs the arrested tody is held so
firmly as not TO be removed by solvents.
One especial draw back of charcoal Is lis
ready saturation with impurities so that
it requires TO be revived or freed from
the retained matters, or IL this be i'm
practicable, be renewed altogether. As
a substitute for charcoal, various sub
stances have therefore been proposed,
and among these spOngy iron. Dr. /.
Levin has subjected sponSy iron to ell
aborate experiments which show that,
when used as a filter. i neither decom-
poses nor holds back uiITcSenous sub
stances in such . manner that they may
not be washed out again. The Nitrate
in one kind of experiment contained
numerous bacteria. Odors Of putre-
scent matter were but slightly removed
by spOngy iron, and plumblierous wa
tiers underwent very little improvement
through contract with It.

BONE DUsT.-Bone dust, like barn.
yard manure, does not Immediately
yield up its nitrogen and phosphoric
acid 10 plants. The bone phosphate of
lime is insolublc in water and but very
slightly soluble in water containing
carbolic acid. The gelatine ofthe bones
would soon decOmpose in moist, por-
Gus, warm soil, provided it was not
protected b. the soil and.the hard mat
ter Of the bones. Steaming removes
the oil, and reducing the bones TO as
fine condition as possible is another
means of increasing their availability.
Another good method is 10 mix the
bone dust with barnyard manure and
let both ferment together, and | am
inclined TO think this is the best, sim
plest, and most economical method of
rendering bones available. The bone
dust causes the heap Of manure TO fer
ment more rapidly, and the fermenta-
rion of the manure sofgcns the bones.
Both the manure and the bones are i'm
proved and rendered ficner and more
available 10y the process. One ton OF
good bone dust contains about as much
nitrogen as So tons of fresh stable man
ure. and as much phOsphoric acid as
10 tons OF fresh stable manure. But
one ton Of manure contains more pot
ash than five tons OF bone dust.

SCIENTIFIC.

Simple Wdter Tests.-The complete
analysis of portable water requires much
chemical skill, but the more common
impurities may be detected by compar-
atiyely simple tests. Certain dele
ferrous salts may thus be recognized.
Among these are the nitrates, whose
presence is chiefly significant as show
ing that organic merit has been acted
upon and may be present The danger
is not in the salts themselves, but in
their source, which should, if possible,
be ascertained. To examine water for
nitrates, put a small quantity of it on a
test table; add an equal quantity of sui
phuric acid, using care so that the hu-
ads shall not mix; TO this add carefully
few drops of 4 saturated solution OF
sulphate Of iron. Tue stratum where the
t-o fluids meet will, if nitric acid be
present, show a purple afterwards a
brown, color. If The nitric acid be in
minute quantities, q reddish color will
result. The presence of ammonia, II
in excess, can be determined by treating
the water with small quantity OF po-
tassic hydrate. Ammonia, II presenf,
will be liberated. and may be recognized
by Its odor, or by the white fumes OF

wet with muriatic acid is passed over
the mouth of the test tnbe. If chlorine
is present in any form in water used
for drinking, it is evidence that sewage
contamination in some form exists.
The presence and amount of chlorine
may be aseertained by the following
simple method; Take niae grains OF
nitrate of silver, chemically pure, and
dissolve it in 200 units (say cubic cent?
metres of distilled water. One unit
of the solution will represent 1-lOOth
of a grain of chlorine. Take a small
measured quantity of water TO be exam
ined and put into glass vessel more
than large enough TO hold l.; add TO the
water a small quantity OF the solution;
If chlorine be present, white precipi-
tate will result. Repeat the addition,
after short intervals. until no precipI-
tate results. The units of the solution
used will determine the hundredths OF
a grain of chlorine present. III more

not come from sewage. The water
should be slightly acidulated with nitric
acid before the test is applied.

Paris Stores.

The lady shopper Of Paris enjoys many
advantages. The stores are large, we'll

the exhausted customers can strengthen the
inner man; it has a reading room, where
have seen numbers Of gentlemen reading
the evening papers. or writing letters, pre-
sumably while their wives were ransacking
the treasures beyond. There is also pic
ture gallery filed with very fair works by
artists who are at liberty to exhibit free of
any cost or charge for the space of six
weeks If during those six weeks no bid
is made for the picture, it is returned to the
artist, who has, at all events, had some
publicity, if nothing more. These rooms,
the picture gallery, thu refreshment room,
and the reading room-I am glad 10 say
there is no smoking room are ''got up'' with
an elaboration of magnifcence that takes
ones sreath away at first sight. The cell
lngs are paneled and painted and carved
with all the skill and taste for which French
decorators are famous. The recesses are
filled with luxuriant evergreens and mark
ed by graceful drapery, the tables and
chairs are in carved oak, the large lamps
with their green silk shades, throw brilli-
ant light on the newspaper or writing pad
everything is done in short to make his
department of the place as attractive as it
can be, so that the husband who waits
there for his wife, shall be softened and
Modified by all that he sees, and shall not
pull too long face at the total figure of her
bill We still have something to Learn.

is at the shops of the former. and at

for specimens of ancient goldsmith
work in the Moresque style. He will
find them very different from the pal
try limitations which are sold every
where ut the bazaars. The shapes are
the same, and have not been altered for
centuries; but the ancient specimens
are masterpieces OF chased, pierced,
and filigree work In gold or silver,
studded in fanciful designs with dia-
monds, pearls or precious stones, ana
coral, admirably set and arranged. One
must, however, not expect any easy
bargain, as even the lower classes Of

zant of the merits and the value of
their ancieut jewelry, and do not shrink
from any personal sacrifice to be pos
sessed OF a fine specimen.

THE POSSIBLE YIELD OF CoRN.-If
corn be planted in drills three and one
half feet apart, and four kernels in a
hill, every twcnty-elght inches of drill
there are 1888 hills, or 2l 1872 stalks 10
the acre. A nine-inch ear of Wausha-
KUN corn, thoroughly dried, yielded
2,l70 grains weight, or thirty-one enc
hundredths of a pound of shelled grain,
Ii each stalk should average but one
such ear, the harvest would be 1913
pounds, or one hundred and thirty-siX
bushels per acre. 1t would require but
an average of about one-half of grain
per stalk to furnish two-handred-
bushel crop. Experimentally ih the
garden, we have secured over forty
ounces, or two and one-half pounds
from a single kernel planted, so there
is nc end to the possibilities ofthe crop.
In practice, however, We have never
realized over one hundred and twenty
three bushels per acre; while an aver
age crop on large areas has not exceed
ell seventy or eighty bushels. The first
effort to improve corn now, starting
with satisfactory kernels and ears, is 10
eliminate the baroness of stalks, so
that each and every stalk shall perform
its duty. There is no trouble III secur-
ing a large percentage of fruitful stalks,
or even Il small percentage of twin or
trIpie-eared stalks; but when we hope
10 secure all such, then we find the
difficulty. Seed-corn must be bred, and
skillfully bred, toward fruitfulness, be-
fore we can anticipate very striking re-
suits.

a Wick for lamps is now manufac-
tured entirely OF glass, by firm in
Hanaus, Germany. 1t is designed
chiefly for use in petroleum and spirit
lamps; and, with an equal amount OF
the wick turned up it gives a much
brighter light than cotton wick. In the
spirit-lamp, too, it is found to greatly
increase the heat OF the flame. No
sparks are given Of by this incombus-
tible wick, nor does the light flame in
draughts to the extent which it does
with burning wick; hence it makes
the lamp safer. The smoking is also
reduced, and it Is stated that ten per
cent. of oil is saved by its use. OF
course the disagreeable task of trim
ming the lamp is rendered unneces-
sary, for of being of glass the wick does
not consume, but wastes away very
slightly by fusion.
