WILD RICE. The Canadian government
are said to be trying to cultivate and stim-
ulate the growth of the plant known as
wild rice" in all the inland waters of the
Dominion. 1t grows annually from seed,
and induce the presence of wild fowl in
the autumn, which visit these rich lakes
and extensive beds of food. Sportsmen's
clubs are also taking means to extend its
growth. as it attracts game of all kinds.
In some places, where it grows prolifically,
it has been cut before seed time by manu-
fractures, who find Its fibre, taken from
the under surface of the water to q
depth of six or seven feet, to be very Valu-
able. 1t affords, 1t is said the strongest
kind of fibre known for making baak-
note parchment paper.

Tdrtaric Acid in Diphticria. The
topical use of tsrtaric acid in diphtheria
has been successfully resorted to by NJ
Vidal. VINO. in one Of the foreign medical
journals, remarks upon tae necessity OF
thus making use Of topical agents against
the false membrane, as it has a great tend
ency to spread by sort of auto-inocuia-
ton, compsrably to what occurs in certain
cutaneous affections. His formula IS ten
parts, by weight, of tartaric acid, fifteen
of glycerine, and twenty-five OF mint
water. The acid acts upon the false men,
brane, converting it into gelatInous mass
and favors Its expulsion.

MosT farmers probably believe that the
great bulk of the constituents of their
crops is derived from the soil. This is q
very great mistake. Take, for instance, 8
hay or pasture field. The carbon, hydro
gen and oxygen of the plants are derived
from the atmosphere, the nitrogen and
mineral matter from the soil. This would
be equivalent to 80 per cent. of dry hay
being derived from the atmosphere and
only per cent. from the soil.

Ia .Sualioht Blue f-Professer s.

Is Sunlight Blue Professor s. P.
Langley, of the Allegheny Observatory,
started on July ! for an expedition Of scien-
tiic and popular interest. The main OBJ
ject of this expedition is to determine BY
actual experiment the amount of heat given
by the sun to the eartn. The cooperation
of General Hazen, Chief of the Signal Ser
vice Bureau. has been given to the enter
prise, and it proceeds under his Official
direction. To attain its special object the
expedition must seek one OF the most ele-
waited submits on the continent, in an ex-
tremely and region, these two conditions
being essential These are only to be found
combined in the remote localities of Ari-
zonis and Southern California. Two adja-
cent stations will be selected, respectively
at heights Of 5000 and IA, 600 feet, for
purposes of comparison Through their thick
nesses of atmosphere. Another object will
be to prove by a new class of experiments
q curious conclusion which Professor Lang
ley has already arrived at, to the effect that
the sun is not really white, or yellow, OF
even red object, but that sunlight is in
reality q deep blue. The proof that we
have blue sun is, however. somewhat con-
elusive at present, but this expedition il
likely to add to the strength of the proof.
This i, not merely subject of curious In.
quiry. II our atmosphere in reality has
played the part of yelloy glasses, it follows
that an enormous proportion of the sums
heat has never been taken into account in
those questions of scientific meteorology
which have special bearing on climate,
and hence upon agriculture and other prac'
ticsl affairs.

The exposure of the windows OF the
cheese room should he toward the north
and east and in cod weather a double
sash is most desirable. In this close, even
room, we are able to detect the aroma OF
the strictly fine cheese. On opening the
door to enter, the perfume strikes the
sense most pleasantly. The odor can be
liksned to that from many fragrant sources,
as fancy dictates. At one time, in turning
up the cheese, the perfume of the pine
apple is certainly apparent; again, we
think only of the strawberry, or the rose.
Under what ever name, there it is, de-
licately subtle exhalation of cheese cuds,
which shows the maker where he stands.
The character of that cheese Is fixed be-
yond question. If the patrons would
take pains to inform themselves on this
point of flavor it might help them t) de-
eide how the work Of the season is pro-
crossing. This perfume, however, need
not be looked for unless all other exterior
signs of cleanliness and care correspond.
