Honey Bearing Plants.

Prof. Cook, of the Michigan agricultural
college. records the following In relation to
The value and time of blooming of honey
plants. and thinks that they can hardly be
recommended too highly. White clover
and alsike are in bloom all through June
and into July. Mignonette and sweet ciov-
er are in bloom as early as June p, the
former continuing for the year, and the
latter for a month, and both yielding
hountifully of the most delicious honey.
Last wear was unfavorable, and our mig
nonette did very poorly, yet from the reports
of others, and our experience IN former
wears, we heartily recommend II. White
mustard blooms in from four to five weeks
from planting, and the black mustard in
from seven to eight weeks. They are both
excellent and covered with bees, especially
during the forenoon, through the entire
season of bloom. The former continues
in bloom about four weeks, the second
some longer. Like borage, these seem less
affected by climatic conditions than most
plants, being thronged by bees even after
heavy rains. Rape, much like white mus
ssrd. blooms in about four weeks after SOW
ing. Borage commences TO bloom, If plant
ed, the first of May; self-sown commences
10 bloom The middle of July, and continues
I'LL frosis. Cleome, or Rocky Mountain
bee plant, if planted carly or self-sown,
commences the middle Of July, and con-
tinues for more than amonth, yielding iiD-
orally of the most excellent honey. Catnip
and other motkerwort deserve their high
repute. The first commences to bloom
late in July, the other late in June Silver
leaf buckwheat is only better than the
common in that it ylelds better, and thus
has more flowers.

Zee in the Tyrol.

For the first time in fifty years the whole
of the lakes of the Tyrol and the Salz kam-
mergut have been hard frozen About
thirty first-rate skaters from Vienna made
an excursion to these lakes, and they say
that no summer trip to the most picturesque
scenery in Europe ever gave them half so
much pleasure as this wintry tour. Imagine.
fer instance. the lake of Gmunden one
sheet of dark green ice, resplendent in the
sun and surrounded by the misty noun
tains, among which rises the Traernstein,
that phenomenon of nature showing with
wonderful exactness a clear profile of King
Louis Philippe. Handsome villas on both
sides of the lake show what fayorite spot
it is in summer, and near the end, where
steep rock rises out of the lake bearing
upon its summit a picturesque country
church, our skaters stopped and looked
into the deep clear waters below the ice.
There the basis of the rock could be
observed as il descended steeply for many
hundred feet, 4 herd OF chamois one day
came almost upon the ice, and were
startled to flight by the sudden appearance
of our skaters. A fete with races and iliu-
limitations and strange old country games
was held in honor of the fiftieth anniversary
of the lakes being frozen over. The ami
ve.sary was kept up everywhere, for the
great lakes Constance and Zurich and the
well protected lakes in the heart OF the
mountains had never froz.n before since
the terrible winter 1s29-30. But of course
they are not equally adapted to skating
purposes. Some are covered with snow and
others again haze but rough surface,
while few of them froze while the water
was in motion, and the Ice is therefore un=
dulated.

Cold as Promrter of Mortality.

The effect of low temperature on NOR
tality was recently discussed by the Scot
land Meteorological Society. the statement
being made, among others, that during De
cember, January and February the mortal
ity in the case of females rises TO H.
above the average, but not 10 more than
rs per cent among males. According to
DIR. Buchanan, one o. the participants IN
this discussion, there are not sufficient data
as vet TO decide how much of the excess Is
due to sex, how much to occupation, and
how much-say to their boots and other
fashions. And further, he states that a
comparison of the meteorological with the
mortality returns, shows in striking man
ner the influence of particular types OF
weather IN largely increasing or diminish
inc the number of deaths from particular
diseases. Periods of unusual cold, for in
stance, combined with dampness, in the
end of autumn, have proportionately de
creased mortality from scarlet and typhoid
fevers; of cold with dryness in spring,
have an increased mortality from brain
diseases and whOoping cough; OF cold In
winter, have an enormously increased
fatality from all bronchial affections, and
of heat in summer, present startling, and,
in many cases, an appalling death rate from
bowel complaints.

GRowIyG PLANTS IN MoIsr SPONGE.
An ingenious device has been
tried, and found 10 work salisfac-
torily, in the growing of winter hy-
acinths. as follows: The bulbs are bed
ded in Geep incisions made in large
sponges, which are closed snugly over
and around the bulbs, and then placed
in appropriately shaped vases. Water
moderately warmed-say to Go or 20
degrees then poured into the vase
until il reaches about half the height
of the sponge. The bulbs begin to
sprout in two or three days, and in
about six weeks the plants are as many
inches high, and continue 10 thrive un-
til the flowers come out, of unusually
large SIZE and perfect form. The
sponge is hidden after the first week or
two by sowing rape seed upon it, the
resultant growth completely co, ering it
with moss-like vegetation. From its
porous, warm nature, the sponge seems
well adapted to the purpose, and dilute
fertilizing material might, it would
seem. be aided to aid the qrick devel-
opmenI of The plant.

owned the Willard Hotel. 1t was a small
house then, and Of course didn't have the
name OF Willard attached. l don't remem-
Der now what the house was called. But
at any rate Taylor owned it and the hotel
didn't pay. The National was doing most
of the business, ana people said Taylors's s
house was too far up town. Mrs. Taylor
was a Northern woman and used to make
a trip up North every summer. In travel
ing on the Hudson, she was struck with
The steward of one of the steamers. He
was polite and attentive TO his business,
and seemed to have the knack of pleasing
people. On her return home, Mrs. Taylor
told her husband about this steward, and
remarked that she believed he was the very
man 70 run that hotel. She said she had
a.ked him his name, and found out that it
was Willard. Well. old man Taylor wrote
10 Willard, and offered him the house if he
would come. He accepted the offer and
built up Wizards Hotel p"
(Which one of the Willards was that!"
1T was Henry. He came first, ana af-
terwards brought his brother Joseph here.
They built an addition TO the hotel, and
when it was opened, Edward Everett made

ls4S. But, let me tell you, when the
Wlllards built themselves up in Washing

Some fer years since a survey was
being carried out in Natal for the Colo
NAL Government, during which it was
discovered by one of the officers ell
gagged on the work that when certain
plants belonging TO the natural order
EHph0TLidceG were cut with the clearing
knives the gum which exudes from the
plants adhered firmly TO the blades, and
was very difficult to remove. Ii was
moreover found that the knives so
coated did not rust and this led to fur
ther experiments being made with the
view of utilizing the gum as preserya-
tive material. Iron plates were coated
with the gum and subjected 10 INNER
sion in the waters of South Africa which
are stated to be proverbial for their foul
ness and for the rapidity OF the growth
ofyegetation. The euphorbia in Natal
grows in close cOntiguity to the sea-
slOre so that there was ample opportu-
nifty for securely testing its value as a
protective covering for iron against cor
rOSion and marine growth. The expe-
riments proving perfectly successful it
was then sought to put the discovery in
TO a practical form. To this end the
gum was dissolved in preparation of
spirits, and this was found to be a ready
means of applying it as coating for
ships bottoms and for ironwok gener-
ally requiring such protection, The spI
rits evaporating and the gum being left
on the surface of the metal. With this
preparation experiments were made
few years since by Sir Andrew Clarke,
c. B., who had a sheet of iron coated
with it and placed in water in her ma
jasty's dOckyard at Catham. where
anything immersed becomes rapidly
fouled. At the end of two years the
sheet of iron was taken out and was
found to be quite clean, and free from
fouling and corrosion. the compost
ton has also been successfully tested /
in Africa against the ravages OF the /
white ant. This success is attributed /
to the circumstance that the gum Of the
euphorbia, which forms the base of the I
fluid, is OF such an intensely bitter na- /
ture that it paralyzes the efforts Of all .
insects TO attach themselves 10 il, or TO /
bore into any substance coated with it. 4
These successes have led to its adoption /
in practice for the purpose above indI- {
Gated, and it Is now being introduced ,
in England. We have examined sever I
al applications OF this composition, /
which gives glossy coating alike i'm .
peryious to air or moisture. while, ac- !
cording 20 results, its own peculiar pro- /
tective property remains unlmpsired.

they fall to the bottom. Ten gallons
OF beetles have been captured in this
