AGRICULTURE.

If the sheep are poorly fed, tCo much
exposed, allowed to lie on damp beds,
or otherwise maltreated, so that the
general health suffers, the skin parti-
oipates in the imperfect Dourishment
Of the bodily organs, and the wool be-
ing less abundantly supplied with the
LIQUIDS produced by the cutaneous pa
pille from which it grows, and recely-
Ing less of the oily secretions (yolk)
from the sebacous glands, withcrs,
hardens, loses its normal elasticity,
and Is liable to become matted into
dense and lnextricable masses while
still ON the back OF the sheep. If there
ia scab or any skin eruption which i'm.
pairs the natural nourishment OF the
wool. the condition is likely to be ag-
yrayated, and the mating Is even more
iense and solid, because the wool is
Imprisoned by the hardening of the
,iIosssed exudation around the hlam-
arts BY care to keep the health good
and TO keep the sheep constantly thirty
mo. the wool will retain such all unc-
tmoi,s covering, and such llic and elas-
tic;tv -, that coLting will be virtually

Changes in the Esr,n's Surface.

The changes In the level or the
earth's surface, which must have been
rapid and vast In early geological ages,
are yet In progress. Aside from par
oxysmal changes, such as tho volcanic
upheavel Of an island now and then,
great areas Of land In difterent parts of
the globe are undergoing a slow pro-
cess of elevation or subsidence. In
Greenland a subsistence Is taking place.
For 800 miles, from Disco Bay to the
Firth Of Igallko, the coast has been
sinking for four centuries past. Old
buildings and Islands have been sub
merged, and the Moravian settlers
have had to put down new poles for
their boats, the old ones standing,
Lyen observes. 'tas silent witnesses of
the change" On the North American
coast south Of Greenland, from Labra-
dor to New Jersey, IL is supposed that
similar changes are going on. q. H.
Cook concludes that slow subsistence
Is progressing along the coast OF New
Jersey, Long Island, and Martha's
Vineyard; and according to A. Gesner,
the land Is rising at Sc. John, In New
Brunswick; sinking at the island of
Grand Menan; rising on the co asst op-
posite, at Bathurst; sinking about the
Bay of Fundy, where there are regions
Of stumps submerged thlrty-hye feet ut
high tide; and rising at Prince Ed
wards Island. II is believed that, in
the Pacific ocean, the Coral Islands
have, In some portions, sunk not less
than 8,OO) feet during comparatively
recent geologic times. Surveys made in
Northen Sweden have shown, accord
Ing to Lyell, that the coast at that point
IS rising at the rate of four teet In q
century.

III. Clemandot uses fine glass wool for
ditfuslng the electric beam instead of
ground or opal glass. The glass wool,
which Is very fine, Is placed in tubes !;
and the latter are united at their sides
as to form a lantern, conioal in shape,
with the taper downwards. The tubes
are closed at the top and bottom to ex-
clude dust, and 1t is found that only
about fifteen per cent, Of the light is
absorbed. The opacity can however
be increased by inserting more "wool," }"
and the light can be easily colored if
desired.

Hoo CHOLERA REMEDIES Every bO-
dy knows that 1t Is the easiest thing in
the world to get certitications TO the
virtues of patent medicine. When
the hog cholera attacks herd or a
neighborhood, there always comes a
time when the disease has run lis course
and subsidies. If, just ut this point,
any remedy has been used. it gets the
credit OF doing the business, when, in
fact, 1t was Natures own work. In
another case man escapes the disease
on his farm, while his neighbor; have
all suffered from It's attacks. If he has
been using anything as a preventive
during this period, he is quite willing
to give that thing the credit for his i'm
munity, while rs a matter of fact, sim
liar cases are reported every day
where no remedy whatever is used
Very much depends upon proper at
tention to sanitary regulations; and
when these arc promptly rcsorted to,
tho ravagcs of the disease may usual
ly be checked without the aid Of me-
diclne.
