POPULAR SCIENCE.

Professor Roberts, of Cornell University,
thinks that the secret of English success in
raising big crops is mainly due to thorough
manipulation of the soil.
The treatment of bronchial diseases by
Professor Mantegazza, an eminent Italian
physician, is explained in the Journal of
chemistry. Briefly. the Professor has found
great advantage from the employment of
pulverized or atomized sea water in cases of
chronic non-specifc laryngitis, bronchial
catarrh from chronic bronchitis with or
without bronchial dilatation, the first and
second stages of phthisis, Gaseous pneumonia
and chronic pneumonia of different forms,
accompanied by profuse bronchial expecto-
ration, and various forms of scrofula. He
does not advise it in those forms of phthisis
which pursue rapid course and are accom-
panied by much febrile action and great
bronchial irritation. mall cases Of doubt
full character trials may be made of few
iuhalations, which, if they do no good, do
little or no harm.
Mr. r. G. Jenkins, F. r. A. S., has at
tempted to show very remarkable effect of
the planet Venus upon the earth. Many
years ago the present Astronomer Royal
proved that the disturbing effect of this
planet was so great that the earth was ma
terially pulled out of its orbit Mr.. jenkins
shows that it is to this disturbing action we
must look for an explanation of the cold
waves which occur on an average every
eight years-as in 1929, 1887, 1845, 1855,
1868, 1871, lS79-and that for the next forty
years the temperature viii be below the av-
erage, as 1t has during the past forty years
been above the average. In regard to high
temperatures, he states that for the last fifty
years heat wave has been observed to pass
over the earth every twelve years, nearly
eonteu porary with the arrival of the planet
Jupiter at its perihelion, and that we are on
the eve Of the next heat wave.
The late Professor Fsradsy adopted the
theory that the natural age of man is 100
years The duration of life he believed to
be measured by the time of growth. In the
camel the union takes place at eight, in the
horse 1t five, in the lion vt four, in the dog
1T two in the rabbit at one. The natural
termination il five removes from these sew

growing lives five times twenty yesrs-tha.
is, 100; the camel is eight years in growing,
and lives forty years; and so with other ami
mall. The man who does not die of sick
ness lives everywhere from eighty to 100
years. The Professor divides life into equal
halves-grOwth and decline-snd these
into infancy, youth, virility and age. In
fancy extends to the twentieth year, youth
to the dftieth, because it is in this period
the tissues become firm, virility from ffty
to seventy-fve, during which the organism
remains complete, and at seventy-tive old
age commences TO last longer or shorter
time AS the diminution preserved forces are
hastened or retarded.

Intelligent Discussion of an Important

from herself the fact that she has heart

it to her, and srdently protests that it is the
one great thing in the world necessary to his
happiness. If she ventured to hint that she
was so anxious for the affection of some
male that she would do anything. within

reason to believe that female human nature
is so weak and hayward and impervitous to
the concentrated wisdom of the ages, that
the emotions which lead TO matrlmony do
not always have their origin in the bosoms
of imprisoned beaux. Now and then, 1t is

MiltIe-A Story For Boys.
1BY r. T. II

Mitie Downey was a very sweet temper
ed little fellow, full Of innocent mirth, yet
loving and obedient to his widowed mother,
who toiled faithfully at the sewing machine
to supply means to support her little boy.
One bright day Eddie W, play-'ei
low, came to spend the day with Mlitle-
They trundled their hoops, played marbles
and ball, made their tops hum until both
longed for some new sport Presently q
farmers wagon was driven slowly by.
Toe wagon had no bed on it, just what Is
called the running gear, so the little boys
heartily decided to have ride upon the long
coupling pole" Eddie was soon securely
perched upon the wagon but Nellie caught his
foot in the wheel and was dashed to the
ground. The good farmer unconscious that a
lite hung upon the turn of his wagon wheel,
was amazed when his steady stepping bays
we're seized by their brides and firmly held,
while a strange voice shouted "stop, In
Heavens nsme, you will kill that little
boy!~
Miltie vas extricate1 from his perilous
position, but in stead he wasn't hurt one
bit"
EDDIE assisted him home, and together
they ,elated the adventure TO his mamma.
Brsvely the little fellow kept back his tears
when his bruised purple limb made mamma
psie and anxious. 1T will soon be well,
uamma." But it was never well; the bone
became diseased, and physicians shook their
heads sadly, when his mamma asked, "will
he walk again."
Weeks and months of extreme suffering
came to the dear little fellow; his plump
little body became thin and emaciated
The velocipede, and top, and ball, all his
playthings were laid aside. On crutches he
sometimes walked along the street, looking
at the store windows, and smiling at the
children trooping home from school.
The patient mother toiled on, often her
eyes grew dim with tears, as she noted the
change in her boy.
Six weary years rolled by, then the little
fellow died
ssGod needed another angel child
To Join His heavenly band;
He gently stopped, with loving smile,
And clasped little Mites hand"
His mother knew his life was waning, and
looking daily to her comforter above
breathed the prayer of reconciliation, "Thy
will be done"
A picture of her beautiful boy, with
laughing blue eyes and golden-brown curls,

Public opinion in New England and the

Of woman's meddling with public questions.

At first the watch was about the size of a

VI. had zone larum or watch of iron, the

readily be supposed to have been of rude
execution. The first great improvement

in 1860. The earliest spring. were not

Early watches had only one hand, and, be-

the cases had no crystals, but opened at the

in diameter. A plain watch cost more than
81 500, and after one was ordered it took a
year TO make it.
