4 pulcerising apparatus, or mill, of
simple construction and adapted to n
variety of uses, ia described in Les
-uondes. 1t consists of a cylindrical iron
box provided with rotating axis, to
which projecting radit are attached {.
The material to be operated on, or pull
verified, is dropped in through the box,
and its transit being frequently struck
by these rapidly moving radii, it is
broken into fine fragments or powder,
just as a mass Of dry earth is broken on
being tossed into the air and struck
with stick as it falls. Clays, ores,
minerals, and a variety Of other sub
stances are, by this means, pulverlZed
to any degree of tiness.

The Jotlo,oing are some results made
by Mr.. Warren de la Rue and Mr.. IL.
w. Muller upon electric light dis
charges undor pressure. The most bril-
liant displays Of aurora probably occur
at hight Of thirty-seven miles above
the sca-level, and these would be Wis.
lble at five hundred and eighty-iive
miles; a carmine tint indicates an altl-
tude of twelve miles; salmon colored
display thirty miles; and pale, milky
white, thirJy-three miles or more. It
is possible, according to these physi-
cists, that the height of the aurora may
sometimes be only few thousand feet.
In the attitudes above given we have
omitted the fractional portions of miles.

No aoAere in the world, perhaps, arc

No aohere in the world, perhaps, are
the industry and fruitfulness of che
mists so great as Inf Germany. In one
of the large chemical works of that
country are employed, regularly, six
chemists, at an annual salary of from
$4,000 to $25, 900 each; another, exclu-
sively for theoretical work, ut $40 900.
Aside from these are a large number
OF supernumeraries in the various de-
partments of all their manufactures.
Thus the magnitude and superiority of
their chemical manufactures over those
of America may be easily seen, as no
such salaries are paid or extensive
works erected as yet in this country.

Professor Elias Loomis, of Yale College,

AGRICULTURE.

STACKING Corn FoDDER.-COrn fod-
der nicely cured and preserved is as a
prOvender next to the best hay and
better than timothy over matured,
coarse clover hay tainted with must.
With plenty of sweet fodder, animals
need not suffer. During winter, dry
COWS can be fed upon 1t and kept In n
safe condition for calving,so that when
there is lack Of hay there Is no excuse
for not using corn fodder, 1t may not
be the best provender for butter, but
there are few dairymen who run win
ter dairies and do not need to feed hay
altogether. With tho use of the cut
ter, corn fodder might be so economi-
cally. fed that enough hay can be saved
from half the usual crop to equal the
amount of hay left oyer during years
OF abundance. Throughout the COM
ing winter with an abundance of corn,
oats and fodder, plenty of hay should
be preserved. There need be 10 anxi-
ETY. where there atounds as at present
so much grain and fodder. Farmers
nave long ago come to the conclusion
that 1T Is better to stack fodder cut. 1t
is mostly preserved in tho long stack,
but tho old time round stack is prefer
able tor the reason that the butts of
every bundle arc exposed to the air.
There is little opportunity Of heating
