Utilizing the Suns Heat.

Very practical results are reported to
have arisen from the experiments of
M. Mouchot in utilizing solar heat. BY
means of large collecting mirror, twelve
feet six inches diameter, and capable of
resisting the strongest gale, he has sue
ceeded in raising more than sixty pints
of water to the boiling point in eighty
minutes, and in an hour and half more
produced steam pressure of eight atmos-
pheres. During one day last March,
in Algiers, a horizontal engine was driven
at the rate cc 100 turns minute, under
a pressure OF three and halt atmosphere
and at another trial the apparatus worked
pump, raising at the rate of 1914 gallons
of water an hour one yard high. The
pump was kept going from 8 o'clock a. m.
to 4 o'clock p. m. and neither strong
winds nor passing clouds sensibly inter-
fered with its action. M. Mouchet can
now readily produce a temperature appli.
cable to the fusion and caic1natlon of
lum, the preparation of benzoic acid, the
publication of linseed oil, the concentra-
ton of syrup, the distillation Of sulphuric
acid and the carbonlzation of wood.

'Buckwheat Cakes ana the Measles"
When a young husband had gone from
home, and with fond solicitude tele-
graphed his little wife,-"what have you
for breakfast, and how's the babyT-he
received the brief, suggestive reply,
"Buckwheat Cakes and the Measles"
We have the report of case in our midst,
not where Measles was in the bill Of fare.
but where Sciatic Rheumatism confined
Mr.. ]. Dawson, the well known druggist,
to his room for a long period. 1t was
stated TO our reporter in the following
words: The senior of this firm was at
tackled with Sciatic Rheumatism De.
cember last, and for four weeks could
scarcely leave his room. He used st
Jacobs Oil, and is now able to be at hlE
place of business, feeling no worse for bis

The roads are neglected, the old cemetery
is overrun with brambles, the common,

verted into COW pasture-the trees and

FAME.
BY EBEN E. RExFoRD.

Once knew a poor old poet,
Aged with work and want and care,
And the boon that most he longed for
Answered not his lifelong prayer.
furnishing, he bore his burden
Bravely, as the poet can;
Hungry for some appreciation
From his selfish fellow-man.
By-and-by he died. When caring
Nothing m~,e for love or fame,
Men began to wreathe laurel
Round the poor old poets name.
And they built a tomb of marble
His last resting place above
Shutting out the rain and sunshine,
And the flowers poets love.
Yesterday, as l was going
Slowly down q crowded street,
More than once heard some children
A sweet verse of his repeat.
"When see the man who wrote II,
One looked up to me and said:
81 shall tell him that love him.
"Ah," answered, "he is dead ~"
Passing by the dead's still city,
Saw where peoples pride
Reared pile of dreary marble
Ger the heart that starved and died.
"Ah," / thought, " the poor Old poet,
If the children's words are known,
Counts them as the sweetest tribute.
Asked for bread, men gave stone

FROM DAY TO-DAY.

Only from day to day
The life of a wiseman runs;
What matter II seasons far away
Have gloom or have double suns?
To climb the unreal path
We miss the roadway here,
We swim the rivers OF wrath
And tunnel the hills of fear.
Our feet on the torrent'e brink
Our eyes on the clouds afar,
We fear the things we think
Instead Of the things that are.
Like tide our work should rise
Each later-day the best,
Tomorrow forever flies,
To-day is the special test.
Like sawyer's work is life
The present makes the flaw,
And the only field for strife
Is the niche before the saw.

Lime in Agriculture.

The journal of Forestry briefly
sums up many of the uses of lime
when applied to the soil. The eff
fects of lime, as will be seen, are
part mechanical and in part chem
ical.
I. Upon deep alluvial and clay
soil it increases the crop of potatoes,
and renders them less waxy. And
sprinkled over potatoes in store
heap it preserves them, and when
riddled over the cut sets it wonder
fully increases their fertility.
2. Lime eradicates the finger
toe disease in turnips, and gives
greater soundness to the bulbs.
3. 1t gives, when it is applied to
meadow land, larger produce of
more nutritious grasses.
a. Upon arabic land it destroys
weeds of various kinds.
s. 1t rapidly decomposes veget-
able matter, producing large
amount of food for plants in the
form of carbonic acid.
g. 1t destroys or neutralizes the
acids in the soils; hence its adapta-
bility to sour soils.
7. 1t acts powerfully upon some
of the inorganic parts of the soil
especially on the sulphate of iron
found in peaty soils, and the sui.
phate of magnesia and alumina.
s. 1t proves fatal to worms and
slugs, and the larvae of injurious in,
sects, though favorable to the growth
of shell bearers.
Q. Stacked lime added to veget
able matter causes it to give off it.
nitrogen in the form of ammonia
which is seized upon by the plants
10. It's solubility in water causes
it to sink into and ameliorate tn,
subsoil. When the soil contains
fragments of granite or trap rocks
lime hastens their decomposition
and iiberates the silicates.
II. Its combination with the acid
in the soil produces saline com
pounds, such as potash, soda, etc.
II. Strewed over your plants i
destroys or drives away the turnil
fly.
II. Worked in with grass seed
the beneficial effects of lime, chalk
mari and shell-sand have been visi
BILE for thirty years.
IA. Applied to the rot heap linn
effectually destroys the seeds o
! weeds.
To sum its advantages: Wher
properly applied to the soil it puri
fies and stimulates its action, thereb
