A Ne,c Disinfectaaf.-When warm air
Is forced through hot mixture Of tur-
pentine and water, disinfectant sub
stance known in commerce as sdnitas
Is produced. 1t is an aqueous solution,
characterized by the presence of hydro
gen and certain camphorace0us sub
stances. With ir is found another sub
stances called sdRitdsoil, also contain
ing peroxide Of by drogen, which poss-
esses high power Of oxidation. Ac-
cording t. the account given Of 1t by
Mr.. C. T. Kingzett. the oil promises to
become very valuable for sanitary pur-
poses. As it has been found an eff
cient agent for the decomposition of so
stable sub stance as iodide of potas-
stun, it can hardly be doubted that IL
will also effect the oxidation of any
animal or vegetable substance, partit-
ularly those which are in course OF
putretactive decomposition. 1t has
also the property Of being capable,
after having once performed Its mea-
sure Of oxidation, of forming new
amount OF active peroxide Of by yurogen,
which may be made available for fur
ther work. Several experiments, made
by Mr.: kingzett, prove that this oil Is
powerful anriseptie. Beef put in
water containing 1t was kept sweet
during periods of 25 to 10 days; flour
paste from 81 to so days; the white of
eggs for 50 days; wine for 100 days.
The oil is not destined to supersede
the sanitas for it Is too powerful in its
acriion to serve the purpose to which
the aqueous solution Is applied, and is
not adapted to meet the same ends, but
be a valuable supplement to it. 1t may
be added to gly,erine, oils or Oint-
ments, when they are applied to the
body in cases of Infectious disease. 1t
may be evaporated for the fumigation
of rooms which have been occupied by
persons suffering from communicable
diseases, Plane surfaces, as flOOrings
and walls, may be disinfected by
wiping them with a cloth or brush
which has been dipped in oil /; only a
small quantity of oil is necessary for
this purpose, for it spreads freely. 1t
Is slowly volatile, and may be used as
an aerial disinfectant OF emulsion in
water may be applied in great many
places; and sprinkled over sawdust IL
may be employed as an effective deO-
dorant.

For amplifyIng small motions, an in
genious device has recently been con-
trived, and exhibited before one of the
foreign scientific societies. A small
barrel is slung by two threads between
the prongs of metal fork, in such a
manner that If the fork is bUdily car
ried to and fro, the barrels will rotate
around its axis; this is simply effected
by making each thread, in its passage
from one prong 10 the other, take II
few turns round the barrel. To the
barrel an index is attached, and the
fork is then fixed on the body whose
minute motion Is to be indicated, The
translation of the body shifts the fork
and rotates the barrel, which in turn
defects the index round the faces OF a
dial, and the magnifying power is ex-
pressed by The ratio of the barrels di-
ameter TO the length of the index.

Baron Anzrole's Butter.

Some few years ago LIE Baron Ana
tole was named Secretary to the French
Legation at the Court of his Majesty
the shah OF Persia. Anatole did not
much relish the prospect of temporary
exparriatlon to Persia. He dearly
loved the Bouvelard, and was great
dandy. Knowing all the difficulty OF
obtaining far from Paris all the re-
uuisites of a Frenchman's toilet, he
laid In a goodly stock of pomade hon.
groise and other cosmetics for his per-
sonal adornment, contained IN gor-
geous dressing bag, fitted up Win
many silver-mounted tubes OF scent
and toilet water.
At the time ofhis journey itchanced
that the Shah had gone on pilgrimage
TO Meshed, escorted by nearly 3,oOo
troops-In fact, the whole of his avail
able army-for the triple purpose OF
worshiping at the Tomb of the Saint,
of bebeading some culp-its, and OF
striking terror into the hearts of the
Russians, who were assuring the Sc
curity of commerce" in the immediate
vicinity of the Persian frontier. The
road to Teheran was in consequence IN
the hands of brigands, who seized the
traveller, put his uniform on the per
on of their chief and turned the nj
tings of his dressing bag into useful
and ornamental articles of various
kinds, according as their fancy suggest
ed. The only thing they cound make
nothing of was the pomade hongroise.
The unfortunate Frenchman on being
asked what it was could only reply in
Persian, eButter." The brigands al
once tasted the compound, and, con-
Guiding that a practical joke had been
intenGed, they forced their prisoner al
the swords point to eat the whole OF
the six pots which he had brought
with him, and, after completely rifiing
his baggage and pockets, left him Il
finish his journey more dead thar
alive.

PROPORTION OF CREAM IN MILK
The first fifth portion Of milk from
the cew contains about One-twentieth
part OF cream ; the seco I'd fifth, one
twelfth and the last fifth, one-sixth.
How important then to get the last
and richest drop, even if it were not
true that cows are quickly dried up by
slovenly practice of leaving a small
tinue to give a flow of milk at much
longer period when MIXED dry. Farm
ers, it will be seen, receive a double
benefit by such course. First, there
is more cream in the milk, and second,
the flow Will continue longer, two re-
quisites in all dairy countries.

EWES in lamb should, as far as
practicable, be fed and sheltered sep
arately from the n-breeding animals,
az the crowding and more rapid move
ments of the latter are apt to result
iDjuriously, while such separation
makes more convenient certain little
attentions to which breeding ewes are
entitled as the yearning season ap-
proachcs, and which may be profta-
bly, accorded to them. Advantage
will be found in subdivision of the
several ages aad sexes into as many
smaller lots as circumstances will ad-
init of, as such course lessen the
liability to crowdlng and over-feeding
of the stronger animals at the expense
of the weaker ones. 1t also brlnss
each animal more directly under the
eye of the attendant, who Will the

toms of deviatlng from the desired

December, 1880, she took fire and was
scuttled. She was brought to the sur
face again by relieving her Of all re-

down air to displace the water In the
compartments, while the water was
pumped out. About $50 barrels, each

employed.

The new explosive. lignose, Invented
in Germany-a woody fibre prepared
with nitro -glycerine-is very light
powder, which in loose condition
burns very slowly. The cartridges
made Of it are larger than those of or
dinary blasting powder of the same
power. As 1t does not withstand mois.
ture, It cannot replace dynamite. 1t
has been employed in number OF
mines, and tae results of various tests
made Of it place its explosive force
which, however, does not seem to be
uniform-at some three times, at least,
that of an equal weight of blasting
powder. Great safety has been claimed
as one of the advantages of its use, also
the exemption from explosion by con-
tact with naked fire, and the fact that
but little gas is left after explosion,
this little being quite harmless.
