What Mikes Wafer Hard.

Though insoluble in pure water, car
Donate of lime is slightly soluble in
water which is already charged with
carbonate acid; and as all rain-wateI
brings down carbOnic acid from the air
it is capable of taking up carbonate OF
lime from the soils and rocks through
which it filters; and it thus happens that
all springs and rivers, that rise in
localities in which there is any kind OF
calcareous rock, become more or less
charged with carbonate of lime kept in
solution by an excess of carbOnic acid
This is what gives the peculiar character
to water which is known as hardness
and water hard enough to curdle soap
may be converted in to very soft" water
by the simple addition of lime-water
which by combining with the excess of
carbOnic acid, causes the precipitation of
all the lime in solution i'm the form OF
insOluble carbonate, which gradually
settles to the bottom, leaving the water
clear.

The value of the Erie canal tonnage
last year was $300.OOO.OOO. The wheat
acreage of the west, which principally
made this business, was more than $780,
600 acres more than in 1879, and like
increase Of acreage is expected this year.
Although the paid tolls on the canal of
$4,000 year were abolished, the toll
receipts have leaped up nearly 100000.
The cost of keeping up the canal is near
ly 100000, and the revenues last year
were $l,2OO0O0, making a surplus of over
100000; Before the state of New York
Disseminated in favor of the canals
their business had run down 100000 tons
in IL months; and since that liberalizing
of rates the canals do 100000 tons more
business, and there has been conse-
quent lowering of tolls on the railroads.

Success.

The wonderful success which has at
tended the introduction of DR.. Whites
Dandelion Alternative, is doubtless due
to the fact that it an honest medicine,
and will perform all that is claimed for
it, and DR.. White must certainly have
great confidence in his medicine, for he
authorizes all druggists to sell it under a
positive guarantee, such as is given on
no other medicine in the market. 1t is a
specific for billiOusness, liver complaint,
fever and ague, dyspepsia, kidney dis
ease, rheumatism, and constipation of
the bowels, and as blood purifier and
renovatOr, it is positively unequaled.

A WASHINGTON special to the Brooklyn
Eagle says: 'It is understood rather
positively now that Garfield will not call
the usual extra session of the Senate I'M
til after the Wisconsin Legislature shall
elect successor to Carpenter. This will
probably throw the extra session and or
ganizatiOn of the'new Senate over until
the 10th or 18th of March, and avert the
necessity of ,adjOurning the Wisconsin
Legislature for the Governor to appoint
Carpenters successor, and avoid the law
of Congress which would prevent an
election until March 9Th. This is very
significant when taken in connection
with the fact that Senator Malone of
Virginia, will Iact with the Republican
party and shows that the Republicans
intend to organize the next Senate. 1t
also avoids the disagreements and an
noyance that might arise from discus
sions upon questions of organization on
the 9Th of March if the extra session of
the Senate were called. General Garfield
will therefore retain the present Cabinet
for few days after his Inauguration.
Their designations will also be presented
to him on the 4th of March, but none
will be accepted.

THE latest invention in art is "Rain-
bow Music" the curious name given to
a production by young genius nan ed
Bishop, in New York, who arranged his
piano so that when different keys are
struck, the movement throws up little
bits af glass of different cOlOrs into a
ray of sunlight, the cOlorS differing ac-
cording to the note. By holding down
the full chromatic scale, he throws a
section of rainbow upon the exhibition
plate. In seeking to marry the sound to
the tint, he has been guided by the fact
that soprano note requires a greater
number of sOund-waves than bass note,
and that an ascent of the musical
scale shows increased vibrations,
just as the prismatic scale does in the
ascent from red to violet. This is fur
ther than art has ever gone before, and
is curious demonstration of the rela-
ton of hearing to sight, but it is doubt
full if the invention is ever made practi-

SENATOR MATT CARPENTER, of WiscOn-
sin, died Thursday of last week. His
death is national loss. For years he
was prominent leader in the Republi-
can party, and his death creates a va
cancy that will be hard to fill. He was
born in Vermont, in 1924, entered West
Point at the age of 10, but resigned
after an attendance of two years, enter
ed the law Office of Rufus Choate, and
in 184S was admitted to the bar and 10
Gated in Wisconsin. His defense of
Joshua Glover, fugitive slave, in 1854,
and subsequent defense of Sherman M.
Booth, who was charged with aiding
Glover to escape to Canada, gave Mr..
Carpenter a national reputation for
eloquence. In 1869 he was elected Sena-
tor from Wisconsin. and served six years.
He was again elected to the Senate in
1879 to serve until 1885.
