a Curious Fact.

Bands OF music are forbidden to play
on most Of the large bridges of the
world. 4 constant succession Of sound
waves, especially as come from the
playing of a band, will excite the wires
to vibration. At least the vibrations
are very slight, but they will increase
as the sonnd waves continue to come.
The principal reason why bands are
not allowed to play when crossing GER
tain bridges, the suspension bridge at
Niagara Falls, for instance, is that if
followed by a procession of any kind,
they will keep step with the music and
and this regular step would cause the
wires to vibrate. At suspension bridges
military companies are not allowed to
march across in regular step, Dut break
ranks. The regular trotting gate of
large dog across suspension bridge
is more dangerous to the bridge than a
heavily loaded wagon drawn by team
of large horses.
In Eric county people are prosecu-
ted for allowing Canada thistles tc

lie Poetry Of Farming

1t is in strict accordance with the ma
ture of things that VIII Carleton, who
has written such sweet ballads Of farms,
farm life and families. never owned a
farm, never lived on one, and never had
any wife or family. No man who ever
lived and worked on farm could ex-
tract poetry from breaking your back
with scythe wearing out your running
gear behind pillow, breaking unruly
steers, milking dirty COWS with the mer-
curry below zero, picking dead sheep In
winter, and sleeping in the barn in sum
mer to get rid of the mosquitoes. There
is no poetry about it. I'll leave that to
any farmer. The only people who can
get poetry out of farm life are those who
never saw it, and the imagination of
such would extract an epic from the life
of a car driver.

The Philosophy Of Smelling.

The sense Of smell occupies itself with
gases for these alone can gain access
to the organ, or cause the sensation of
smell. Lest the reader should suppose
this statement opposed to the testimony
OF hls experience, from the well-known
lact that solids, such as cedar wood,
camphor and musk, excite the sensa-
ton Of smell, while ordinary scent are
preserved and carried about in a liquid
form, it must be explained that these
substances contain volatile essential
principles which, on free exposure to
the alr, are slowly given off in a state of
yapor' Some solids give off PARTICLES OF
thelr substance in state of vapor with
out llrst becoming liquid, as is ordi-
harlly the case Thus snow, which
coats the earth in winter, will diminish
daily even though the air is frosty, and
there IS no melting process going on.
IN other cases, as in cedar wood, oils
naturally volatile seem to be long en-
tangled in the solid matter and but
slowly rendered to the air; but then
odorlterous power is so great that very
small portions of them produce strong
perfumes. This is sometimes truly
wonderful. DIR, Carpenter states that a
grain of musk may be freely exposed to
the air for ten years, duing which time
it perfumes the whole surrounding air
vet when weighed there is no pereepti-
.llsass. Es,..- s.I,.ssr>ssst Matters Nhleh eN,
nafes sodorous einanations are detected
at great distance, from the tendency
pf gases to pass through and diffuse
Themselves equally throughout all Other
gases. Thus, though there be but &
very small escape Of coal gas in one par
/ of the room, it soon announces itself t.
the nose in every corner of the apart
ment. This is a faculty peculiar t.
gases, and produces many interesting
results.
