Weeds in American Soil.

John Burroughs, in his "Notes OF q
Walker" in the May scribner, discourses
our agricultural pests from
which We condense and extract. Ours Is
a weedy country because it is roomy
country. You would see more weeds in
one days travel in America than in .
weeks journey in Europe. Our culture
of the soil il not 90 close and thorough,
our occupancy not SO entire and exclus-
i've. Ono may see large slice taken
from neld by elecampane, or BY teazle,
or milkweed. whole acres given up to
whiteweed, golden rod, wild carrots. or
The ox-eye daisy; meadows overrun
with bear-weed, and sheep pastures near
ly ruined by st. Johns wort or the Cana
da thistle.
Our most pernicious weeds, like our
vermin, are of Old World origin. / re-
call but three Of our native weeds at all
noxious or troublesome, viz milk-weed,
rag-weed and golden-rod. In Europe
our golden-rod is cultivated in the fow-
er gardens. Their native species is found
mainly in woods, and is much less snowy
than ours. OF our rag-weed not much
can be said that il complimentary except
that its name in the botany is Ambrosia,
food of the gods. Nothing terrestrial
eats it, not even billy-gosts. Asthmatic
people dread it, and the gardener makes
short work Of it. If it was not so easily
destroyed, would suspect it to be an
immigrant from the Old World.
The following outlaws of the farm and
garden come to Us from over the seas:

A NEW THING IN OPTICS.
A Discovery that Does Away with
the Need OfTelescOpes.
New York Times.l

New York Times.
Prot. Benjamin c. Merrill is gener.
ally conceded to be one of the fore
most scientific men of Milwaukee.
Hitherto he has confined his research
es to the field of electricity rather than
to that Of optics, and it was not sup
posed that the world would be indebt
ed to him for the most important dis
covery in connection with the eye that
has ever yet been made. Prof Mer-
rill has long been Of the opinion that
the telescope is a clumsy method OF
supplying the deficiency Of eye power,
and some months ago he undertook to
ascertain if there was any way by
which we could be able to dispense
with artificial lenses.
1t is we'll ascertained fact that
persons who are near sighted, or in
other words who can sec only such
objects as are near to them, have the
ball of the eye globular and prOtuber'
ant, while those whose vision enables
them to see objects at a long distance
from them have the eye fattened and
sunken The obvious explanation OF
this fact is the theory that when the
eye is fattened the lenses are com
pressed, and thus focal distance is in
creased, while the opposite effect fol-
lows the too great rotundity Of the
eye.
Acting in accordance with this the,
ory, Prof. Merrill conceived the plan
of increasing the power of the eye, not
by using artificial glass lenses, but by
improving the natural lenses. He de-
signed an instrument, consisting Of
two small metallic disks, each pierced
with an extremely small hole, and
connected by lightsteel band. These
disks are placed one directly over tho
center ofaeach eye, while the stee
band, passing around the head, holds
them in place. The band is so made
that it can be shortened or heightened
by turning a thumb-serew, and, O
course, Just in proportion as it il
shortened the disks press against tn,
eyes and hatten them.
The inventor tried his instrumen
upon himself aud before exhibiting i
to any one. He found that when tn,
disks were put in position and tn
screw was gradually turned, his powe
of seeing distinct objects steadily in
creased. A very slight increase 0
pressure on the eyes gave a very mark
ed increase of visual power. He mad
experiments both by day and night
and in every case with marked sue
cess. He found that in the day tim
he could read the Times at distane
Of twenty rods by giving the sore,
two complete turns, and at night h
could perceive the moons of Jupite
and the ring Of Saturn with six turn
of the screw.
Up to this point the operation
the instrument was quite painless, bu
any attempt to give greater ey,
+ power was attended with a sharp pai
Y in the eyes and dazzling light, whiC
= rendered all objects invisible, Pre-
Merrill has calculated, however, th
c six turns Of the thumb-screw give h
v eyes a power equal to that Of refrac
i ing telescope Of forty.two feet foe
4 distance, and that, in fact, there is
!. telescope in existence which has an
= thing like the power Of his eyes VIII
u they have been properly adjusted
