An Ancient Aqueduct Reopened.

After a breach of /, 900 years the aque-
duct built by the Emperor Augustus to
supply Bologna with water has been re-
stored to use. Nineteen hundred years
ago the imperial engineers tapped the
Setta neal its junction with the Reno,
about eleven miles from Bologna, and
brought its water to the city through an
underground passage. They followed
the course of the Reno, tunneling che
hills, sinking their work beneath the beds
of the precipitous torrents which rush
from the mountains into the river, and
bringing the waters to the gates of the
city, where they were divided, one por-
tion going to supply the public baths,
and the other probably destined for the
fountains of streets and public squares.
The work of ~tunneling and the mason.
ry were SO thoroughly we'll done that
both stonewnrk and hrickwork are still
as solid az the rock itself, the only con-
siderable breaks being where the turbu-
lent Reno had washed away with its
clayey banks several portions of the
aqueduct, or where the headlong tor
rents which rush down into its stream
had excavated their own beds and car
ried away the artificial substructure.
The restoration of this important work
is due chiefly to Count Gozzadini, who
caused IN accurate survey of the aque-
duct to be made about twenty years
ago, and in 1864 published the results of
the investigation in an elaborate me-
moir. Since then the work of restor-
alton has been going on with a thorough
ness and skill calculated to make the
new work as enduring as the old. The
aqueduct was originally made of brick
and stone cemented with lime and vol
canic sand, and the unbroken portions
remained as hard as granite.

and less heating. The product of an
acre of barley is of more value as food
for horses or other animals than the pro-
duct of an acre of oats of equal quality.
The grain being harder when dry than
oats, it can not be consumed so well in a
raw state, but if fed ground it should be
soaked in water or boiled. When ground
and fed in conjunction with cut fodder,
there is nothing superior as food for
working teams. Barley to keep the
system open and the skin soft. So long
as our American farmers grow bar
ley with no use for it in view but
mailing, so long will it be subject to
extreme fluctuations in price, and the
business a risky and uncertain one for
the grower. But when the value OF 1t
for feeding stock is realized the markets
will be steadier and the profits of the
crop more certain. Many farmers grow
both barley and oats, the one to sell and
the other to feed. It would be wiser,
if the soil is good for barley-as most all
soils are-to grow a portion at least for
feeding purposes insteadof oats. Ground
barley is an excellent food for fattening
hogs. We know from actual experience
that horses will perform as much labor
when fed on barley as they do when fed
on oats. During the Mexican war all
the grain that horses and mules had
from the time the army left Jalapa for
the interior was barley and corn, but
mostly barley. Cavalry horses as well
as those used for teaming purposes,
could not have been in better condition
than they were.-Minneapolis tribune.

A Salt Cure.

Here is a simple thing that is worthy
of attention. It may be the mean Of
doing much good, and, at any rate, could
do no harm
John Bland, an Englishman, writes to
the New York Herald of a discovery he
claims to have made in disease and its
prevention. The letter treats of the
theory of disease germs, their develop
ment, and a new treatment for their de-
struction. The germ theory of disease
admitted, common salt is the universal
panacea and antidote of germ poison.
Salt kills both vegetable and animal
germs, and vegetables and animals, too,
administered in quantities large enough.
Farmers sometimes steep their seed
grain in brine to kill the vegetable germs
which would destroy its growth; the
sailing process of fish and meat performs
the same office for their preservation.
People who eat little salt are more liable
to contract and develope disease than
those who take mans allotted three
quarters of an ounce daily portion of the
chloride of sodium. BANDS conviction
is that ~salt-eating is the thing to kill the
germs of cholera, yellow fever, small
pox, or any other infections or con
tagious disease, when epidemics are
around. Salt is cheap and accessible.
Two or three ounces a day in times Of
danger from disease germs will not in
jure anybody ever if it does no good.

Sun Spots.


Professor Wilson, of Glasgow, made
In 1774 an observation which greatly
startled the scientific world. He found
that sun spots behaved exactly as if they
were caverns with sloping sides dug into
these caverns is generally black, while
portion is, therefore, called the un6ra,
while the less black sloping sides are
called the penunabra of the spot. 1t is
easy to explain the nature Of Wilson's
reasoning. The SUM-, it is well known,
revolves on its axis about once in twenty
six days from east to west, SO that q spot
will take about thirteen days to travel
across the visible disk or hemisphere. 1t
will come on the leftIhand border OF
limb and disappear at the right. provided
it remains SO long. Now, Wilson noticed
that when a spot is near the limb the
penumbra on the side nearest the SUMS
visual center is hidden from our view,
on the same principle by which, when
looking into a silver jug, for instance,
from one side of it. that interior which
is nearest the eye is hidden from the
view. In fine, he concluded, with per.
feet Justice. that spots were pits or hol-
lows with sloping sides, and we are
justified in adding that they are cloud
pits, and not caverns of solid matter.
These conclusions of Wilson have been
abundantly confirmed by the Kew OBJ
servers, Mr.. De La Rue and his col
leagues, and also by the spectroscopists
whohave devoted themselves to the SUM-.
1t has furthermore been shown by these
observers why the bottoms and sides,
but more especially the bottoms of such
cayerns should be blacker than the suns
ordinary surface. They are blacker be-
cause they are colder, and they are
colder because they represent a down.
rush of matter from the high and com
p~aratively cold regions of the solar
atmosphere-of some kind of celestial
hail, we may perhaps imagine. So
magnificent is the scale of operations
that fifty or sixty of u own earths
might be dropped into the cloud-cayern
formed by the down-rush-at least in
the case of large spots. But a down
rush implies an. up-rush, and we. may
add that q down-rush of matter compare
lively cold implies an .up-rush of matter
comparatively hot. We have abundant
evidence of the existence of such up
rushes in the sum-. Astronomers have
been long familiar with the existence OF
two solar phenomena which occur to
gether-spots and facule. just as a
spot represents something which is
blacker, and therefore colder, than the
ordinary solar surface, 30 a facula (torch)
represents something which Is brighter,
aud therefore hotter than the surround
ing regions. As I have said, facul@ and
u spots accompany each other. and
we have evidence from various quarters
that the former are not merely high up
In the solar atmosphere, but that they
frequently represent matter in the very
act of ascending, just as q spot FREE
quently represents matter in the very
act Of falling down.-Professor Balfou,
SteWGrt. in Nature.

Pen and Ink Sketching on Linen.

Pen and ink %sketching on linen is in
popular favor. A preparation of gum
is first applied to the fabric, and when
it is dry the place should be pressed with
a moderately hot iron. The design is
first outlined in pencil lightly before
beginning with ink, or the outline may
be placed upon the linen by using car
bon or transfer paper and an ivory Or
other hard, fine point. This transfer
should only indicate the design clearly
enough to serve as a guide. All express
sion and shading must be left to the pen.
Indelible ink must be used, which
should be frequently shaken to ensure
The pen must not be pressed
into the cloth. A broad line must be
made by several light strokes of the pen,
and not by one heavy stroke. After
the design is completed it should. be
exposed to the sunlight two days, so as
to secure all the depth and s~oftness the
sunlight al impart. The depth of
color depends upon the length Of time
the design is exposed before the prepare
ton is washed from the fabric. Handker-
chiefs can be beautifully marked in this
way with a little care and attention.

Charge Of the Light Brigade.


After we had mounted for the famous
charge, and just before we commenced
our advance, Colonel Shewell, command
ing the Eighth Hussars, happened to
rest his eyes on one of his men with q
pipe in his mouth, which SO excited his
military ire, that he hallooed to him that
she was disgracing his regiment by
smoking In the presence of the enemy"

tainly I (his commanding officer did not,
or at least up to that time had not recip-
rocated, inasmuch as I at this very mo-
ment was enjoying a remarkably good
cigar. The question then rose In my
mind, Gam I to set this bad example?

dent struck me forcibly about this time
the bearing of riderless horses in such
circumstances. I was, of course, riding
by myself, and clear of the line, and for
that reason was a marked object for the
poor, dumb brutes. They consequently
made dashes at me, some advancing
with me a considerable distance; at one
time as many as five Oh my right and
two on my left bringing in on me, and
positively squeezing me az the round
shot came bounding by them. I re-
marked their eyes, betokening as keen
a sense of the perils around them a we

these, was remarkable. He had been

Whisky Drinking in a DRY Climate.


The effect of alcohol on the Indians of
the high, dry plains, even when taken in
small quantities, is to almost instantly
drive them crazy. The frequent as
saults that have been made by mounted
Indians armed with bows and arrows, on
Western trading posts defended by
American lifemen, sharply indicate the
effect of alcohol in men of highly nerv-
u temperament, natives of a dry
try where the light atmosphere is highly
charged with electricity.
So it is with white men. The muir
derous acts of the "cow boys" when
under the influence of liquor, are well
and kind-hearted class does not exist.
t~eristics of the Indians. They are
fiends. They shoot and stab each other,
as well as ~1noffending strangers, with
the savageness of Cheyennes OF Sioux.
Most of these men are residents of West
ern Texas. Many of them were born in
that STAGE.
Almost all of them have lived on the
plains for a term of years. The country
they inhabit is arid and of an altitude OF
ITOm l,ZUU 10 O,UUU Leu dDONe uuo sods
Throughout the pastoral region the at
mosphere is surcharged with electricity
that expends its force in terrific thunder
storms, in tornadoes and in the dreaded
dry waterspouts. Throughout the pas
toral region the fact that a man who has
become acclimated cannot safely stimu-
late himself with alcohol is well known,
and has long been admitted by all think
ing men.
In Kansas, above all other Western
States, has the attempt to settle the arid
belt with agriculturists been made. Liv-
ing in this belt are thousands of voters,
and it was the ballots of these men that
accomplished the adoption of the con-
stitutional amendment prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors
in the State. Unconsciously they, by
their ballots, recognized the conditions
of the climate in which they live. The
adoption was a measure of self-deIense.
Democrats and Republicans, prospect
i've of party, voted for the measure.

Single VS.. Married Soldiers.

1t has long been a mooted point
whether single or married men make the
best soldiers.
Some maintain that the lack of wife
and family tends to make a man more
reckless of his life-therefore a good
soldier.
Others say that the married man is al
most a veteran when he enters the ranks,
being Injured to combat-therefore a
good soldier.
In the recent Tunisian campaign a
Colonel was questioned upon this point.
"Both are right" said he. "Look
yonder-do you see that battalion Of
happy, devi1-may-care fellows? They
are all single men, and they would take
their lives in their hands. But look
again-do you see those taciturn, somber,
gloomy-looking men there? They are
all married, and in a hand-to. hand fight
they are terrors."
"What is the name of the battalion ?"
asked the inquirer.
"They are called" said the Colonel,

The Ideal Oatmeal Porridre.

Clean, aromatic, coarse dry meal must
be got from some shop where they know
what is good in the way of oatmeal. The
meal must be stored as carefully as tea
in a covered dry jar, SO that neither
must, mice nor beetles can defle it. The
saucepan mustb be the pink of cleanliness,
and must not shave been used for any
thing other than milk and breadstuffs.
Saucepans in which potatoes, green's or
meats have been cooked are never pure
enough for milk and breadstuffs. With
such materials the making of delicious
porridge is easy, but without them it is
impossible. Bearing in mind the prin-
ciple on which breadstuffs and milk are
to be combined in food, we perceive that
the meal must be cooked in water.
Therefore, having clean boiling water in
the saucepan, we take a small teacupful
of meal 1.-TWO or three ounces) for each
pint of water in the saucepan. Draw the
saucepan of boiling water off the fire and
then sift in the meal through the fingers.
Vhe meal must be sifted into the water
SO as to be evenly spread over the IT.
face, and to sink free from Jumps. Then
push the saucepan fully on the fire and
boil briskly for a minute or two, so as to
Thoroughly mix the meal up with the
water before it begins to thicken. Next
boil slowly for three or four quarters of
an hour, according to the coarseness of
the meal. Care must be taken that the
porridge is just kept on the move, and it
must be stirred, if necessary, SO as not
to burn, and not to get lumpy. Smoke
and SCOT must be carefully kept from
communicating it. The porridge is now
cooked SO far that all the starchy-
granules are fully burst, and the meal is
properly d~isintegrated. Now pour out
the porridge like a thin custard into a
vegetable disk, and leaYe it to cool un-
covered. If successful, the porridge on
cooling will set or gelatinize; a brownish
skin forms over the surface, and as this
contracts the porridge separates all round
from the dish at its edge. 1t becomes a
soft, tremulous jelly, perfectly cooked,
sweet in flavor, uniform in consistence,
and free from contamination by dirty
saucepans, by burning or by the defle-
ment of SCOT or smoke. It should be
eaten at the end of breakfast with cold
milk, and it makes a most excellent
supper.
A saucerful of such porridge put into
a soup-plate and a half pint mug of good
rich new milk is, indeed, a lunch or a
supper, or a finish to breakfast, fit for
a king. It is a food on which any man
can do anything of which he is capable
in the way of labor, mental OF physical.
For growing children, and youths who
are stunted in height or unsound in
structure, this is exactly the food that is
wanted. 1t is like bricks-and-mortar for
the growing frame of infants, school
children and overgrown youths. For
nursing mothers it is equally valuable,
supplying them with the earthly phos-
pilates and other materials out of which
good milk is made, without drawing
upon the mothers own structures, as is
often exempliied by the rapid softening
and decay of teeth in women who nurse
their children largely upon meat and
upon beer.-EngLish Mechanic.
