AtlulteratIOn OF Teus.

1t Is pretty generally known that the
orthodox teas prepared in the East for
America and European consumption
are adulterated, but comparatively few
people arc aware Of the extent to which
this admiration Is carried on; or of
what substances arc used. NJ. lIusscn,
French chemist Of note, has made u
thorough investigation of the subject,
and the result of his researches has
been laid before the academy of
Sciences. lie finds that prussian blue,
indigo and gypsum, In small quantities,
are the principal ingredients employed
to impart the "facc" or "bloom" to the
teas, and that in the proportions used
they are very innocuous, This adul-
teration takes place when the plants
are raised, but more extensive adultcr-
alton Is subsequently INDUCED in by
the Europeans, who, with their super
ior knowledge, have surpassed the Ash
atics in tEcir fraud by the use of still
more injurious drugs, such as chromatc
of lead, arsenicate of copper, besides
making use Of comparatively innocu-
ous substances such as sulphate or
iron, stearite, carbonatcs of lime and
magnesia. The Chinese have become
most expert in manipulating green teas
which they color with few simple
substances, some of them poisonous,
for example plumbago, PrussIan blue,
curcuma and kaolin. With or without
the true leaf Of the shrub, they can
produce tea Of any desired tint. In
order to give the inferior or false lcat
the aroma Of the tea the Cclcstials mix
quantity OF 1t with certain flowers,
especially a species of olive. In short,
according to NJ. IIussen, no injurious
proceeding is omitted in the Celestial
empire to palm on the outer barbal ian
inferior OR falcc teas. In tho leading
tea growing districts the government
has corps OF inspectors who are re.
quired to sec that the goods are des
patched in a pure state. The prccau,
tlon, however, avails little, for ut tho
shipping ports there Is no attempt tt
prevent the merchants or brokers from
commencing their fraudulent practices
which they carry on to their hearts
content. In spite Of their knowledge
Of tho extent to which this adultcratior
Is carried on we presume our people
will continue to drink Of the cup whicl
Is said to cheer without stealing away
a mans brains.

Signor Agostini finds, quoting from
No. 3 of Its Italian namesake, that If
through drop Of mercury, lying OH a
surface not wet by it, a current of elec-
tricity be sent in vertical direction, it
rotates under the influence Of the
earth's magnetism, as may be seen If
few particles Of lycopodium powder
be strewn on 1t. Similarly mercury
drop rotates when placed on surface
OF steel magnet, and Q. q. the magnet
connected with the positive pole OF a
very weak element, while an e1ectrode
penetrating the drop from above is con-
nected with the negative. From the
strength and direction Of rotation of a
number Of such drops one may In gen
eral make visible the distribution Of the
magnetism, the neutral points, &C.,
both in the magnetic bars themselves.
as when an iron bar is brought coaxial-
ly near to one end Or into contact; also
IN the latter. The results of previous
experimental measurements are thus
confirmed.

A Smart BootbIack.

The bootblsck's name is Henry
Bromley and he is from the good old
State of Massachusetts,. He has fol.
lowed the business of backing boots
all bis lifetime, but some time ago
the business in the bay state grew so
dull that he was reduced to blacking
boots for one cent pair. This was q
little cheap, he thought, aud so he
conceived plan whereby he could
shine boots so chesply that he could
get large patronsge-the old prin.
ciple, "quick sales and small profits. y
The following was his plan: He had
large number of cards printed
which be sold for ten cents each. =
Every card had on it numbers from
one to six inclusive, which represent
ed six shines. The name and place oil
business of every man TO whom a
ticket was sold was taken down in
the bootblack's book. The bootblack
then called upon his customers regu-
larly, and every time he BACKED a
pair of boots be puached a hole in
