Professor f. C. Pickering, director OF
the Harvard Observatory, lately made
l discovery which is regarded, says
the Scientific American, as one of the
most important of the century in stel-
lar physics. In the ordinary telescope
the star appears rs a point of light
brighter, but not larger, than when
looked at with the naked eye. Profes-
'Or Pickering finds that on placing q
prism between the object glass and the
eye-piece of his telescope, the light OF
4 star Is drawn out into u continuous
band. When, however, the telescope
with the prism Is directed to a plane
1ary nebula, the light is collected into
starlike point with any band, ena-
Oling the astronomer TO distinguish in
stantly between the star ard a plan.-
cary nebula. This principle has al
ready enabled Professor Pickering TO
discover several planetary nebul;s. On
Thursday evening, Aug. 26, an object
was observed which presented the ap-
pearance OF two starlike points within
che band in the modified tele-
scope. 1t is different from any,
hing heretofore observed in the tele-
scope, and is regarded as an important
object for investigation.

Artificial Honey.

The consumption of honey in
Switzerland is so enormous that gen.
uine bees honey cannot be procured
In sufficient quantity to meet the de-
mand, hence an artificial product,
called stable honey" is extensively
employed. In the manufacture of this
artificial honey starch sirup and colo
nial sirup are chiefly employed. The
former is imported from France under
the name of "glucose crystallisee, ,"and
is used for the finest quality of table
honey, while the poorer and cheaper
kinds are made by mixing it with cane
sirup or molasses. Water, flour, and
starch are seldom added because so
easily detected; the same Is true of
glycerine. A determination of the
amount of ash does not suffice to dis
tinguish it from real honey unless it is
made entirely from best beet or cane
sirup. The specific gravity furnishes
no better criterion of its genuineness.
Adulteration Is more easily detected
by mixing it with alcohol. A solution
of 90 parts honey in go of water, when
mixed with alcohol, gives heavy
white precipitate of dextrine, If glu-
cose has been added, while natural
honey only becomes milky under the
same circumstances. The safest method
is to determine the sugar. The grape
sugar is determined directly in a
weighed quantity of honey; an equal
weight of the same honey Is boiled
with two per cent sulphuric acid, and
the sugar deter mined after inversion ;
finally the dextrine is determined in a
third portion by precipitation with
alcohol. The difference in the quantity
of sugar found before and after inver-
sion is so great as to furnish a certain
method for distinguishing natural and
artificial honey. He says that the
quaint ty of dextrine will be proper
tional 10 the difference in sugar found
before and after inversion, but this is
not always true, as some glucose con-
tains no dextrine, and the composition
of glucose depends on the method of
its manufacture.

The coloring principle Of the indigo
plant is contained in the stems and
leaves, which y ield colorless liquid,
changed by fermentation into the
familiar dye. About two months after
the plants are sown they produce d
pale-red flower. They are cut. thrown
INTO large stone watts, covered with
water and held down by heavy weights.
Fermentation begins in about twelve
or fourteen hours; the whole mass ap-
pears to be boiling. and bubbles OF
purple air arise. When this process is
finished, the liquid is drawn on into
another vat, and violently stirred to
precipitate the coloring matter which
Is lett to settle. Again the water is
drawn off, leaving the indigo, which
is dried and prepared for export.

The needle gun Is the invention OF
John Nicholas Dreyse, Prussian
locksmith. He was nineteen years old
when the battle of jena was fought,
and picked up musket upon the field,
an examination of which convinced
him that his sOuntrymen were the
wOrst-armed soldiers i'm Europe.
Dreyse made his way to Paris and en-
tered the employ Of Swiss gunmaker,
whom Napoleon commissioned to make
breech-loading musket, The young
apprentince took up the idea aad work
ed at it for many years, until, in 1885,
he succeeded in making breech.l load.
ing needle gun. The Prussian Govern
ment tried and adopted,the weapon, ,and
supplied the inventor with means for
carrying on the Manufacture of the
gun now used In Kaiser Wilhelm's
army.

IT was all the fault OF the news
papers. They said the new comet
couldn't be seen "withgut a glass"
Mr.. Stariington wanted TO see il, so he
took glass. 1t still eluded mis- vision,
and he took two more glasses. Still he
couldn't see it, and after taking seven
glasses altogether, he fell down four
steps into an area, and was rewarded
with sight of the comet. But he l.
positive that just as he caughta a glimpse
of the celestial visitor it burst into ten
million pieces, ,one of which struck him
right between the eyes.

walking. Stopping one day last summer
at a. railway station, he was accosted

the chaplain of that college at such a
time, naming the year. The doctor
replied that he was.

known by his walk rather than by his

GUTTA PERCHA CEAENT.-This high

melting together, in an iron pan, two
parts common pitch and one part gutta
percha, stirring them well together
until thoroughly incorporated, and
then pouring the liquid into cold wa

elastic; but it sOftens with heat, and
at 100 degrees Fahrenheit is thin
fluId. IL may be used as a soft paste,
or in the liquid state, and answers an
excellent purpose IN cementing metal
glass, porcelain, ivory, etc. 1t may be
used instead OF putty for glazing win

BRONZE TURKEYs.-The bronze varl-
ETY. OF Turkeys cross between the
tame and the wild family-is superior
TO the com non turkeys in size, hardi-
ness, and tenderness OF fiesh-the lat
ter prevalent trait of wild game
The male wild turkey, in fully de-
velOped stage, is an imposing looking
bird, often attaining weight of forty
pounds, or more. The general hue OF
their plumage may be called black, but
is often relieved by strong bronze or
copper color, giving them rich ap-
pearance when the sunlight falls fairly
upon them. At certain seasons of the
year the male OF the wild turkey is full
of he fire of battle. Frequently the soli-
Jude of the forest will be broken by the
sonorOus gobble of defiance. Anon re-
spOnse, equally belligerent, will be
heard. Guided by these notes of chal-
lenge and acceptance, the parties ra-
pidly approach each other, and when
in full view they rush together with a
startling shock, and the tug of war
commences. 1t is rational to infer that
an infusion Of wild blood would tend to
hardness, characteristic in which the
young OF the tame variety are greatly
deficient. A brief ramble IN wet grass
usually suftices to finish up young
tame turkey, while a wild one of like
age will rarely succumb to a kindred
drenching. 1t is owing mainly to this
hardness. OF constitution the bron-
zed or crossed breed is so hig hly priced
by pOultry-Sreeders and the general
public.
