Balloons for War P"rpoSes.-On the
occasion of the inauguration of Nj.
Theirs statue a balloon ascent was made
at Nancy on Augusta The wind was
blowing from the west with a velocity
Of sixteen and half kilometres an
hour, and no variation IN the direction
was perceptible from the ground 800
metres. The altitude Of tho balloon was
taken by officers from Vaudeville, with
thcodolite, and signals were cXchan-
gcd with the ground during the ascent.
The signals were given by the aero
nauts with flag, and by the officers
with a rejecting mirror pflccd in the
end of a tube, and mounted as telc-
scope. The officers directed the rays
OF the sun on the balloon, and inter
cepted rays with a key in order to use
the Morse alphabet. The distance Of
Mazleville from the balloon was more
than six kilometres, and the signals
could be seen at a much greater dis
tance, This shows that In a bcsiegcd
town passing balloon could be used for
giving orders to, or receiving news
from, friendly forces. This system of
communication has been invented by
one Of the officers of the garrison.

ABOUT CORN AND WuEAT.--Corn
loses one-tifth by drying and wheat
one-fourteenth. From this the csti-
mate is made that 1t is more profitable
for farmers to sell unshelled corn In
the fall at Is cents than at 81 bushel
in the following summer; and that
wheat at $l.25 in December is equal to
case of potatoes taking those that rot
and are otherwise lost-together with
the shrinkage, there is but little doubt
that between October and juno the
loss to the owner who holds them, Is
not less than 50 per cent.

WAsiiINa FLUID.--Washing in many
families makes days hard work every
week. 1t may be made much easier,
and quicker done, by using this. fluid
without injury to the clothes and with
little expense. Two quarts of boiling
water on half-pound of unslaked
lime. Dissolve in another vessel one
pound Of washing soda and one-half
pound Of borax in two quarts Of water,
then mix with the lime and boil five
minutes; lot it settle and bottle the
clear part of the mixture. Use small
teacup of this to two pals of water with
small cup of soft soap or as much hard
soap. Soak the clothes first in clear
cold water, then put in the boiler, in
which the soap and mixture have been
stirred in cold water, boil ten minutes,
then take out, wash the dirty places,
and rinse in plenty Of clean water.
The fluid saves more than half the work,
very little rubbing being requlredeven
for clothes very much soiled. ct"

Gently been discovered by M. Nj. Wurt%
and Bouchat, which dissolvcs meat
completely in few hours, thus furnish
ing the first instance Of perfect artificial
digestion. The solution obtained can
be used rs an article of diet, and Is at
once absorbed into the system. The
substance used in these experiments
is extracted by II simple process from
Il tree and can be procured in large
quantities. Since the researches Of
Darwin and Hooker in inscctivorous
plants were published it has been
known that certain vegetable juices
were. capable of dissolving animal
substances; but the digestive fcrment
had not been isolated in any quantity,
and the discovery was Of little practical
value. Now, however, it will, not only
be possible for those having weak stom-
achs to digest their food before catlng it,
but they will be able to distinguish be-
tween those articles Of food which can be
readily dissolved and those which arc
insoluble and consequently indigcsti-

Flashing iSignals.-The interest which
has recently been taken In England in
the sun-signals which were dashed from
Lord ChelmsfOrd's army in Zululand
and Major PearsOn's advanced position
ut EkOwe has suggested to the directors
OF the Polytechnic Institution popu-
lar SUBJECT, which has been introduced
in the form Of an illustrated lecture.
The flashing of signals may be and is
done in great variety OF ways. The
fundamental principle Of the language
flashed is the Morse telegraphic alpha
bet, or Il special series of numerals COM
posed OF long and short signs, which
are read OFF by specially constructed
dictionaries OF sentences. Thus one,
two, three, four, five short flashes mean
respectively !, 2, 3, 4, 9; one long-sus-
tained light represents 8, one long one
short7, one short one long 8, two long
one short 3, ana one long two short TO-.
A pause is made between each figure,
and the signal Is repeated by the sender
until 1t Is repeated by the receiver.
Thus, three short flashes would be 8,
TWO short one long would be D, and two
short would be 2; the full slghal 3SZ;
Looking to the book Of sentences, 392
would be found to be "Enemy on the
alert.n The sun flashes are made by
a specially prepared instrument called
a hellograph, the principle of " ich is
simply the ungulated mirror whic every
sohoof-boy is thoroughly familiar with.
When the days are dull and the sun not
available other means are resorteu TO,
one of the most effective being large
erection on the principle of the Vene-
-tian blind. When the laths are open
the structure at a few miles distance is
invisible: but when closed the form OF
a large dark tower is presented to the
distant observer, which appears and
disappears at short Or long Intervals,
and gives thus the like tclcgraphic Ian
guagc and the same signals. The col
lapsiblc drum, the colomb, magnesium
lamps, the electric light, the fog horn
and steam whistle are all sini larly
employed Tor the same purpose and up
on tho same basis, both ashore and aloaf,
so that under all circumstances OF
weather, signals OF Importance can al
ways be got through distances OF ten OF
fifteen miles.

How IT PAYS TO RAISE CURRANTs.-
Let us look, for moment, into the de-
tails Of growing say half an acre OF
currants and note what the resu 1t is
likely to be. A piece of land fitted to
produce II good crop Of potatoes is in u
good condition to set to currants. 10
set them four by five feet will require
about 1900 bushels, aifd they should
cost about IS per hundred, During
the first season potatoes may be planted
between the rows and between the
bushes, without materially injuring
the growth of the bushes or the yield
of the potatoes. During the second
year beans may be planted between the
rows. which, with what fruit Is OBJ
tanned, should pay the original cost.
And the third year they should pro-
duce l = pounds to the bush, which at
g cents per pound, would amount to
$l0S. Alter the bush has attained its
growth, with good culture fair aver
age yield would be about three pounds
to the bush, which at cents per pound,
would amount to S21G. The expenses
for labor and manure annually would
not vary materially from that required
on half an acre Of potatoes after they
were planted.

AGRICULTURE.

DUST FOR ANIMALS IN WINTEH.--Sfhe
most indispensable necessity OF an
ample supply Of dust for animals III
winter is understood by very few stock
growers. All sorts Of animals delight
in dust bath. Chickens that havo easy
and continual access to it will never be
troubled with vermin, either In their
houses Or on their bodies. Cattle do
light to stand in dusty road, scraping
1t up with their fOre-feet, and tlinging
it over their backs. The cheapest and
most effectual cure for lice on cattle is
to scatter quart Of perfectly dry dnst
along the spine from the horn to
the tail. In winter, when they can
not get 1T, many animals become COW
cred with yermin. The writer has q
rain-tight wagon shed, with strips
eight inches wide nailed close to the
ground on three sides, into which half
Il dozen whcelbarrow loads of dust are
placed every fall. There the poultry
delight to wallow and roll in the sun.
1t is also kept and used for all other
stock at stated intervals, and no ver-
min of any sort is ever seen on them.
This is at once the mosr certain RENE edy
for these pests, while the the stock
ihrives by being supplied with what
they crave, and what, In Il state Of ma
ture, they would surely supply them
selves with, but which they cannot
when restrained and tied up II yards
and stables.

Women are timid creatures, and
hate TO be left in a house alone at night.
SO the other day when Mr.. Gallagher
went away from home, leaving
heaying his wife only an ig.
norant servant, she was very much
worried. and readily hardened to the
voice of an agent who called just after
Gallagher had gone around the corner,
and wanted 10 sell her a machine which
would prevent burglars from getting
into the house. She bought three.
Those placed at the front and hack
doors were SO arranged that, when the
door vas opened, a hammer would
strike down from above and knock
down the person trying to enter. A
third continuance Of different pattern
was placed on the stairs and another at
the front window. Gallagher unex-
pectedly returned late that night, and
attempting TO enter the front door, got
a blow % the nose that knocked him
down the steps into the street. He was
both SURPRISED and annoyed at the cir
~cuustance, and, utterly unable to un-
derstand it, tried he the door again.
Same result. lie then thought some
body was behind the door trying TO as
sassinate him, and, getting up very mad,
ran around TO the back door to get in
that way. There he got n thump that
sent him backward into the swill- bar
rel, and he was terribly cross when he
got up. He grabbed an AK, and. rs he
opened the door again, struck with it.
But he hit nobody and got another
knockdown. Then he went and got n
policeman, so that one could take each
door, and n be surf TO get in, but
after both had enjoyed three knock
downs they met and compared notes,
and decided that two men must be in
the house. They then tried the front
window, and, raising it,a deluge OF icy
water from a hose arranged to bring it
flew upon them. But they braved that
and got in. Then they ransacked the
but could find nobody, and
meantime Mrs. G.. up stairs, heard them,
and nearly died of fright. They start
ed up stairs, Gallagher first, and near
the top, a stair fixed on n pivot, rolled
under Gallagher and hurled him back

ing the policeman with him. They both
but Gallagher yelled the loudest,
and his wife recognized his voice and
favorite oath. Her courage re-
turned. She went TO the head OF the
stairs and cried; James is that your"
James vas painfully hurt and awful
mad then, and the policeman vas try
ing to get back the breath Gallagher
had squeesed out OF him. "Nc,n cried
James, sits not me; it's some other
Jim Gallagher was never knock
ed down seventeen times in one night"
But she knew II was he, and explained
matters. And then Gallagher gave the
ten dollars to say nothing
ABOUT the matter, and the officer re-
tired; and then Gallagher jawed his
wife for two hours, and the next day
went sever miles TO overtake the man
who cold her the machines and kick the
life nearly out Of him. He admits that
the things would be dreadfully discour-
aging to a burglar, though.
