Startling Opinion.

The following letter, by writer who
signs himself flames E. Serrell; civil en-
gineer," is printed in New York paper
Various publications have appeared in
different parts, particularly in e London
papers. setting forth a proposed plan OF
flooding the Desert of Sahara, thereby
making it an ocean or an inland sea, by
opening canal or channel from the At
lantic ocean.
The depth and size OF the Desert below
the level oft ocean is stated as from 900
to $50 feet; tie area in square miles is
over 100000; the average depth is not
generally known, but suffice it to say that
if such a project should be started and
not under control of those i'll charge of
the work, the earth could, and no doubt
would he thro IN off its present balance,
and the surface OF all the waters to certain
extent would be changed in their level,
could be ascertained with certainty if the
actual sizes and depths could be known
for ssif every grain of sand removed alters
the balance of the world,' what would
this great change do? 1t might cause the
send of the world" which, according to
tie prophecy of "Mother Shipton,v will
be in 1884,. In this project all the world
Is interested.

not good. The ignorance and careless
ness h bitual to the American on all
points not Immediately connected with
his amusement or money-making, are
fatal to such exact conditions as insure
safety from lightning.
It was exempIified in the case of
friend, who afraid Of LIGHTNING, slept
half the summer in newly-1ented house
with a stout rod. till one day. happening
to look at the ground connection ne found
it rusted in two just above the sod, and
hundred times more dangerous than no
rod at all.
So far from lightning being danger
most difficult to avoid, it has very simplc
laws, and may be entirely guarded
against by proper conductors. Witness
the British navy, which met 500 disasters
year by lightning till ships were provi-
dcd with conductors, by which the fatal
tiles were reduced to fifty, ameng ships
in the tropics, exposed to violent storms,
and csc may be fairly charged to care
lessness in regard TO the conductors.

How to Make DYES.

A German writer tells US that a num-
Der of excellent dyes can be obtained from
the berries of common plants, by boiling
them in water so as to produce a strong
decoction. The whortleberry and the
BURBERRY, when boiled down, with an
addition of little alum and copperas,
will make fine shade of dark blue. The
same treatment, with solution Of nut
gals added to it, will make a handsome
brown; while, by adding alum, verdigris
and sal ammoniac to the berries, several
shades of bright purple and red can be
obtained. The juice of elderberries,
boiled in water, with little alum, will
also produce a shade of blue. The ber-
ries of the privet when cver-ripe, will
yield, by a mixture of little salt, a
scarlet red, and the seeds of the burning
bush, when treated with sal ammoniac,
make a beautiful reddish-purple. The
juice of the currant, with little alum,
will dye bright shade Of red, and the
bark Of the bush, treated in the same way,
makes good brown. Yellow can be Oh
tanned from the bark of the elm, the pop
lar, the ash and the apple tree, boiled
down strong and mixed with alum water
The tassels of broom corn, treated in
the same way, produce a good shade of
green

How to Utilize Old Frnit Cans.

Perhaps one of the most appropriate
uses of an old fruit can that can be de-
vlsed is to make it contribute to e
growth of new fruit to fill new cans.
This is done in tie following manner;
The can IS lierced with one or more pin
holes and then sunk in the earth near the
roots of the strawberry or tomato or 9th
or plant. The pin holes are to be ofsuch
size that when the can is filled with wa
ter the fluid can only escape into the
ground very slowly. Thus quart can,
properly arranged, will extend its irriga-
ton to the plant for a period of several
days; the can is then retilled. Practical
trials of this method of irrigation leave
no doubt OF its success. Plants thus wa
tered flourish and yield the most bounte-
Gus returns throughout the longest
drouths. In all warm localities where
water is scarce, the planting Of old fruit
cans, as here indicated, will be found
profitable as regular gardening opera
ton.

nisinfeCtinC Stables.

Distinction of stables, drains, sheds, cess
pools and outhouses should now be attend
ed to, says writer. The value of DIS
infection is no longer a subject of discus
sion. All malignant maladies have been
stayed in their ravages by free and con-
slant use of the potent agents of disinfec-
ton. The walls of the stable should now
I've whitewashed. In every livery stable
there 81 ould be bucket of sulphate of
iron (copperas). Take handful every
morning, dissolve in bucket of water
and throw into the drain. 1t is cheap
aud effective. So is the chloride of zinc
(butter of zlnc) dissolve an ounce in two
gallons of water. Where there are sick
animals the sheds and stables should al
ways be fumigated with sulphur at least
every o.her day. If mixed with tar the
gases generated are very good disinfec-
tants. Take flour of sulphur half a
pound, wood tar one quart; mix with
tow; burn at one or two spots and this
will disinfect large stable. Carbolic
acid is a powerful disinfectant and should
be applied to doors, walls and troughs.
It is disagTeeable to flies. Blankets
should be wet with weak solution of it
to destroy all disease germs. Chloride
of lime IS another popular disinfectant.
Disinfeeting powders, preparations of
carbol;c acid, are sprinkled daily through
the stables of London and Liverpool at
an annual cost of only 81 for each horse.
They keep the flies away and the atmos-
phsre pure.

DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.

In Maryland the fruit crop is reported
unusually large. In the New England
States the prospect is good. So it is in
Wisconsin and Minnesota. In Calitor-
mia the crop is excellent. With these ex.
ceptions the crop will be but an average
one in any of the fruit growing states,
and in many of them it is quite small.
While We do not anticipate an absolute
scarcity of fruit in our principal fruit
markets, there will be no glut, and good
fruit will command fair prices next fall
and winter as it has during the summer

New Feed for Cattle.

To feed cattle in such way as to in
sure the same advantages as those OF
spring, summer and winter, is one, OF
those problems that has greatly troubled
breeders and farmers. 1t is now sug-
gested to introduce as winter feed the
white melilot of Siberia. 1t is legu-
minous fodder plant, vigorous and ro-
bust, and capable of growth on an arid
soil. 1t can be sown in May, and thrlves
best in dry state. The cattle profit
highly by the use OF the plant, which
contains numerous nutritive substances,
sufficient tor fattening either sheep or
