An Eye. Stones Wanderings.

The following remarkable incident
has just come to our knowledge. 1t
would seem almost incredible, were it
not for the absolute yeracity of the
gentleman making the statement. Mr..
Rufus Miller is a well-known farmer of
this town. living at Mechanicstown-
Some five or six years ago, just before
retiring Mr.. Miller placed in his eye
what is known as an eye-stone, for the
purpose of removing a mote, as he had
frequently done before. For the benefit
of those of our readers who may not
know what an eye-stone is, we will ex-
plain. 1t isa small, white. round shell,
about thrce-siXteenths of an inch in
diameter, concave on one side, convex
on the other, and quite thin. 1t is
from the head of crab, one being
found under each eye of that crustacean.
In the morning, when MIR. Miller
awoke, he could not find the stone. He
made careful and thorough search,
but all in vain, and he made up his
mind that it was gone for good. A few
weeks ago he felt hard growth on the
end of the little finger of the right hand.
He showed it to some friends, who con-
cluded it was a wart. and advised him
to let il alone. He did so until about a
week since, when it began to be sore.
and he commenced picking at it. He
soon found out that some hard sub
stance was under the skin, and, Dig
ging away, he finally took out his long
lost eye-stone. He examined it so
carefully that there can be no mistake.
He now recollects that at one time he
experienced a considerable soreness in
his wrist, and supposes at that period
the stone was pressing in that direction.
over made that long journey without
being lost or absorbed is a mystery.
Chat it did so there can be no doubt. :

A Tight Squeeze.

A very peculiar accident occurred at
the Pickel Marble Works, on the corner
of Labeaume street and Broadway,
yesterday, that came near having IA
tai termination. A workman named
William Morgan was engaged in hoist
ing stone. being at work ut the hoisting
apparatus. BY some means he lost his
hold on the handle of the apparatus.
and falling upon two cog-wheels got
caught between them. The wheels held
him by the throat with death-grip.
He was kept in this position by heavy
stone, which was being hoisted, until re-
lief came to his assistance, which was
several minutes from the time he was
caught. Assistance arriving, the pulley
ropes were cut and he was released.
His injuries were then discovered to be
severe and dangerous, cash extend
ing almost from ear to ear being cut in
his. throat. Medical assistance was
summoned. when it was discovered
that the jugular vein was intact, al
though the windpipe was badly injured.
The wound was temporarily dressed
and the injured man was forwarded to

Photographing the Moon.

"Do you think 1 don't know the
moon from a peeled orange?" was the
half indignant, half laughing exclama-
tion of young lawyer who was shown
a stereoscopic picture of the earth S
satellite in the writer's presence.
Probably he is not the first intelligent
person who has made the same mistake.
In truth, common photograph of the
moon does bear a striking resemblance
to a peeled orange. The great crater,
Tycho. looks like the nib whence the
stem has been removed and the long
lines of trap rock opwhatever they may
be, that radiate from the crater, resem-
BILE the whitish streaks marking the
divisions of the orange. But in larger
and better photographs, and especially
in those taken at one of the quarters,
instead of at full moon, all resemblance
to an orange is gone. Where the line
of daylight falls, the saucer-shaped
craters, with their sharp central noun
tain peaks and the long, Jagged shadows
cast by lofty ranges are revealed with
surprising distinctness.
Photographs of the moon arc not
mere scientific curiosities. They not
only serve a useful purpose in astro-
nomical research, but they have a COM
mercial value. Few collections OF
stereoscopic views are destitute of one
or more of these photographs. They
are as popular as pictures of some
actresses. The way these views are
obtained is interesting. Everybody
knows that a stereoscopic picture of a
person or waterfall is got by combin-
ing two pictures of the object taken
from different standpoints, so that each
shows little around the corner, and
the two being combined make the OBJ
ject appear to stand out in lifelike per.
spective. To produce the same effect
with the moon, advantage is taken oi
the fact that she vibrates; or rolls a
little upon her center, in swinging
about the earth, so that at one time we
see little more of one side than usual
and at another time of the other side
When two photographs of the moon,
taken at opposite librations, are com
bined by the stereoscope, the lunar ort
seems suspended before the eyes like 6
ball that the hand can grasp.
America is ahead of Europe in the
art of celestial photography. En-

Ninety-Four Miles an Hour.

"Talk about fast trains! Why, / was
carried at the rate of ninety-four miles
an hour said Philadelphian yester-
day, who for forty-five out of his sixty
years has been prominently connected
with railroads in this country and En-.
gland.
Posssible?" incredulously remarked
the newspaper man.
Fact! 1t was away back in 1872,
over the Great Northern and North
British Roads, the connecting links be-
tween England and Scotland. A party
of us went over to inspect the Tay
Bridge. the one that came down last
year, you recollect. We had a cab en-
gine, four seats in the cab and four oc-
cupants, two Government officials and
two railroad men. The manager of the
road gave orders for a clear track, and
off we went. The engine had ten
and a-half feet driving-wheel; it was a
light locomotive, built expressly for
speed, but not much for draught. At
| the start we made about q
mile minute, but we ran so
smoothly that we did not know
we were doing it until we overlook the
forty-mile-an-hour trains, which were
standing off for us. Well, we kept this
speed up until we were at point be-
tween Glasgow and Dundee. Then the
engineer let her out, and for at least
175 miles we went at the rate of a mile
and half minute. Zounds, how she
did hyl How that engineer managed
ceive. One moment a post would be in
the distance, and the next far behind
us. Just the same with the stations.

see the names and before j could draw
it in again we had come to the next.
OF course the stations were rather close.
Talk about counting the telegraph
poles! Why they looked like picket
fences. Were we nervous? Not bit
of it. When you get above sixty miles
an hour you don't appreciate it except
by looking out of the window. The
permanent way, too, was magnificent,
and that aided us in getting along
smoothly. I'd risk that ride every day
in my life without any fear.
There was an engine on the Worces,
ter d Norwich Road, now part of the
New York & New England Road,
which made seven miles in five minutes
on part of her route as reguarly as
the sun rose and set," went on the
speaker. '.She was a seven-foot driver,
made in Paterson, and carried a bag.
gage and two passenger cars. There
was long stretch of road, with 8
down-grade of thirty-five to forty feet
to the mile, and when this point was
reached the engineer would let her sc
for all she was worth.
Before you go I'll give you g
point" said the speaker. in conclusion.
"It's a funny thing, but it's true, that
an engine going down grade at high
rate of speed will slip more than one
drawing the same train and going uI
grade. It's fact; yet it can't be ac'
counted for even by mechanics who
have given it years of study. The

THE DAIRY.

-Buckwheat bran makes thin milk
and is more profitable for milk than for
butter.
do not let the cows suffer for want
of water during this hot weather. When
once cow is partially dried up it is
hard to bring her into a full flow of milk
again. DO not allow your cows to be
over-heated by fast driving, and if you
want plenty of milk and butter feed
them enough so that when the heat of
the day advances they may lie down in
the shade and not be compelled by
hunger to work hard in a short pasture
Setting Milk.-Mr. L. B. Arnold, in
a recent letter to the Farmers Advocate,
claims that milk may set in any tenn
perature between forty and sixty de-
grees with equally satisfactory results,
provided the depth is varied according
to the temperature. At forty degrees
he would have the milk sixteen to eigh-
teen inches deep, that it may not cool
too quickly, while at sixty degrees he
would have it not more than two and
half or three inches deep. This proba-
bly, agrees with the experience of butter
makers generally. Deep cans and large
pans save a great amount OF labor In
skimming and washing.
The fact that dairying on small
farms might not pay directly should not
deter any man from trying it. If the
sales of milk, cream, cheese, calves, etc.,
will not more than pay the current ex-
penses, no matter; if the manure is left
as clear profit, rejoice and be glad.
1t must be had, and if it can be had in
no other way, then this is the way to
get it. If You sell milk to a creamery
there is no oppressive burden on " the
women folks" nor tithe of the bur-
| den on the owner that attaches to the
regular milkman. These last are most ex-
cellent features of the creamery system,
| while if the creamery is, as it should be
and generally is, success, and the
| farmer owns stock in it. the low prices
paid for milk vii. be returned in part in
| profits from the manufactured articles

Treatment of Garget.-The treat
ment for garget, or Inflammation
of the udder should be TO re-
| duce the Inflammation by warm
lamentations and cooling medi-
cines. such as one pound of EPSON salts,
and afterward one pound of saltpetre
given daily for week or ten days:

curdled milk in the udder by mice

of soda, which should be left in the I'D
der for few minutes, and then MIXED

orally caused by the swollen condition
of the glands, which prevents the escape
of the milk as it is secreted, and this,
curdling in the ducts, is absorbed and
adds to the irritation and Inflammation.
The alkaline solution dissolves the
curdled milk, aud prevent this injuri-

WELLINGTON O., THURSDAY, JUNE

glishmen of science, who, like all En-
glishmen, have keen eye for the de-
lection of special excellence in the
work of their own countrymen, admit
this. They say that the photographs
OF the moon taken by Mr.. Lewis M.
Rutherfurd, of New York, are better
than those taken by their own Delarue,
who is so conspicuous an astronomer
that one of the oceans of the planet
Mars has been named after him. Mr..
Rutherford's lunar photographs are so
fine that they can be sufficiently mag
nified to furnish better view of the
moons rocky scenery than many
amateur astronomers can obtain with
the full power of their telescopes.
Everybody has seen what is called
"the old moon in the new moon 6
arms" When the moon, only fow
days old, appears as a narrow crescent,
the unilluminated portion of her orb is
seen shining with a faint, ashy, light.
This light comes from the earth, and is
reflected back by the moon just as the
landscape is family visible in full moon
shine. A few weeks ago, NJ. Jansen.
of Paris, succeeded in making photo
graphs of the moon that showed this
phenomenon clearly. So light that
sprang from the sun was reflected
from the fields and waters of the earth
to the moon, was thrown back from
her stony surface to the earth again,
and, after this triple journey, yet re-
tanned enough power to stamp the faint
picture of luna landscapes upon pho.
tographic plate.
Moon photographs are taken oy the
aid of telescopes, the prepared plate
being fixed at the focus of the instru-
ment in the place Of the eye-piece.
They are obtained only one or two
inches in diameter, and have to be en-
larged. Fine ones will bear being en-
larged 10 a diameter of two or three
feet. Mr.. Rutherford uses refracting
telescope to photograph the moon, the
object glass being peculiarly corrected
so that itfocuses the actinic rays. Most
other astronomical photographers use
rejecting telescopes, in which a con.
cave mirror takes the place of an OBJ
ject glass.
The moon is not the only celestial
object whose picture can be taken.
Photographs are also made of the sun,
showing the spots and the phenomena
of eclipses. Venus and Mercury have
been photographed when in transit
across the suns disk. Even stars cal
be photographed, and recently Prof
Draper, of this city, succeeded in pho
tographing the Great Nebula of Orion

Prof. Charles E. Monroe, of Ann

tomatoes, rhubarb, lemons, etc., all
acted upon tin. Some cider which he
examined, and which had been stored
in tin fountain, contained one hun
dred and seventeen milligrammes of
metallic tin to the liter in solution. One
case was given where persons eating
fruit preserved in tin cans were made
violently sick, and tin only was found
in the fruit. Corrosion of tin pipes by
water was referred to, and it was sug-
gested that the corrosion was due to
the vegetable acids in the water.
