POPULAR SCIENCE.

Gray bodies properly selected as to
height of tone, when contiguous to
coIored bodies, exhibit the phenomena
Of contrast OF color more strikingly
than either black Or white substances do.
Parasites are very common In fish.
The salmon harbors at times no Less
than sixteen different kinds Of parasitic
worms. The best authorities say that
these are harmless TO man, and Italian
epicures regard certain species occur
ring in sea-tish as great delicacy.
The Journal Of Science makes the
statement that no beautiful or useful
organic species, animal or vegetable,
become naturalized in any country
without human intervention, while the
ugly and the noisome contrive to
extend their range in spite Of mans
efforts to the contrary.
It is calculated BY Mr. a. Taylor
that the land is denuded by the com
bined action Of the sea and the rivers
at the rate Of one foot in thousand
years. He holds, therefore, that the
deltas of the great rivers were formed
when the rainfall was greater than now
later than the post-pliocene age.
DR.. F. Neelson describes the "turn-
ing blue" Of milk as a change which
takes place under the action Of speci-
&c contagium, which is capable of pro
ducing like appearance in the milk Of
other animals and such substances as
boiled potatoes, ! rice, and vegetable
caseine when they are subjected to its
influence. Albumen and vegetable
caseine resist its influence. Fortunate
ly, no poisonous results follow the use
Of ''blue" milk.
The Science says "Of all the nu-
merous topics which are the common
field Of the physician and the BIZ
ologist, none is of as great interest
both in its practical bearings and, in
trinsically, is as fascinating theme, as
that Of the location Of mental facul-
ties in the brain. Year BY year scienti-
tic inquiry is narrowing down the ques-
tion Of the existence Of the mind into
the functional realm Of those great
masses of nerve. tissue which, filing
out the cavity Of the skull, had already
found an empirical and unconscious
recognition from the ancients when they
endowed the goddess Minerva with
higher brow than Venus and Apollo with
a greater facial angle than Bacchns.n

BonD APPLEs.-A correspondent
writes that about the incest morseI to
tickle the palate is boiled apple-not
boiled Like potato, nor steamed like
pudding, but as follows: Place layer
Of fairskinned BaIdwins Tor any nice
variety in the stewpan, with about
quarter of.an inch Of water. Throw on
about one half Of sugar to SIX good
sized apples, and boil until the apples
are thoroughly cooked, and the syrup
nearly thick enough for jelly. After
one trial no one would, for any consid-
Grafton, have fairskinned apples peeled.
The skin contains a large share Of the
pictous jelly making substances, and
imparts a flavor impossible to obtain
otherwise. He also says that wise
housekeeper, instead Of throwing away
the skins and cores of sound apples
would use them for jelly, A tumbler
full of the richest sort can thus be OBJ
tanned from dozen of apples. Boil the
skin few minutes, and strain. Add a
little sugar to the liquid, and boil until
right to turn into the tumbler.

The Great Lakes.

Lake Erie is only sixty or seventy
feet deep; but Ontario, which is 500
feet deep, is $50 feet below the tide
level Of the ocean, or as low as most
parts Of the Gulf Of st. Lawrence, and
the bottoms of Lake Huron, Michigan
and Superior, although the surface is
much higher, are all, from the vast
depths, on level with. the bottom of
Ontario, Now, as the discharge through
Detroit. river, after allowing al the prob
able portion carried off by evaporation.
does not appear by any means equal to
the quantity of water which the three
other lakes receive, it has been con-
jectured that snbterranean river may
run from Lake Ontario. This coniec-
ture is not improbable, and accounts
for the singular fact that salmon and
herring are caught in all the lakes
communicating with the st. Lawrence,
but no others. AS the falls of Niagara
must always have existed, it would
puzzle the naturalists to say how these
fish get into the upper lake without
some subterranean river; moreover, any
periodical obstruction Of the river
would furnish not improbable solu-
tion Of the mysterious fux and reanx Of
the lakes.

War Stories.

A Washington correspondent writes:
I held down chair in party few
evening since In which Colonel Hatch,
of Hannibal, Mo-, who served in the
Confederate army, and some ex- Union
soldiers were relating war stories. The
colonel, who il now member of
Congress, told many a good yarn, but
none that interested me more than his
description Of the gloomy days Of Con-
federacy during the winter Of 1864
He said they had by some means gotten
hold Of a bundle Of Chicago papers, in
one Of which they found a paragraph
saying that some Of the farmers on the
great prairies of Illinois had been forced
to burn corn for fuel, on occount Of it's
cheapness and the high price Of coal.
He said the paragraph had more in
terest for them at that time than all the
other contents OF the papers, and IL was
generally shown about and discussed
through the camp.

somebody said: What's the use Of fight
ing a people who are burning corn for
fuel, while we are counting it out by
the grain?' and we pretty near all agreed
with him"
sWell," said one Of the Union men,

your men prisoners at Charlottesville,

Wants . Come.

The following letter is in reply to an
article which appeared some weeks ago
in these columns relative to the almighty
seldom condition of our female popula-
ton in the West compared with the
male. 1t shows that our appeal is not
altogether worthless, and that the day is
not far distant when this frightful pre-
ponderance Of the great horrid man over
woman will be done away:
Porrsvn1E, Del, Dec. /, 1881.
Editor Boomerang DEAR SIR: lhave
seen a piece in several of our home
papers credited to yourpen which states
that Wyoming is greatly oyerrun with
men. I do not write this because I
yearn to get married, for I do not. I
have good home with my relatives,
and do not sigh to 60 awny and marry
total stranger.
What / do desire is some great, strong
arm upon which could lean when the
storm of life beats upon me and the
angry bilIows knock me galley west.
I have waited long and patiently for
such an one to come to me, but he dost
not come. He is delayed by awashout,
or something of that kind.
I would like to nestle down into the
home of some true and noble man, who
is good provider and does not chew
plug tobacco. o, would love him SO
earnestly, 50 sincerely and SO persist
emily. I would 60 and meet him at
the twilight hour when he came home
from the bank, and would make it
interesting for him.
1 had wonderful wealth Of affection,
even as child, and I have been saving
it for over thirty years. I've seen many
men who would gladly have taken me
to to their hearts, but they did not have
the courage to propose the important
step.
If you known in all your acquaint-
ance man who is athirst for sympathy
and love, man who does not snore,
and who does not object to cold feet,
you may tell him ycu know Of coy
young thing in Delaware who can be
won if he will go at it right.
Impress him with the idea that I am
the pampered child Of luxury, and that
never had my hands in dish water.
Tell him that am all soul, and that |
would shine as the central figure in
$50, 1000 home.
No objection to a cattle man with
leather pants on if knew could trust
him, and he was beyond the reach of
want. A good waltzer would be no OBJ
ject. / would rather be the dear one
of sheep man who could turn in 2O,-
600 pounds of wool each spring and
couldn't walk through a quadriIle with
out breaking his neck, than to be
linked with good waltzer with two
Texas steers and chattel mortgage.
From the above you will gather my
meaning and aid me. If you can, I will
name our Oldest and most gifted twin
after you, if it is that kind.
Respc'y yours, CAROLINE VAN STUBB

A popular actor who makes his home
in the sunny South, not long since
fenced his orange grove plantations in
a novel and effective way. He began by
erecting, for each side of his fence,
sods three feet in width, divided into
five layers, at an angle Of seyenty-fye
degrees. The soil from beneath the
sod exactly fills the space between the
erected sods, leaving three foot ditcn
on each side. On the top Of this sod
and-soil fence, which is four and a-half
feet at the base and three feet high, he
planted cuttings Of the Mccartney rose,
which are protected by panel of boards.
This fence, while within the reach Of
any man who will shoulder his spade
and work, possesses the advantages Of
an impossible barrier, of permanence
Of drainage, Of not needing repsirs,
and Of being most beautiful ornament.

Guano Water for Fowls.

The Rsral NesO Yorker says: Guano
water is frst-rate manure for green
house and window plants. It is no
patent nostrum; we know what it is,
and that it is good. But in addition to
being highly esteemed food for the
roots of plants, as wash for the leaves
it is also excellent. Be your plant
outside or in the house, no matter. You
syringe them with clear guano water,
and you will soon observe an increased
thrift and fatness Of foliage and immu-
nifty from insects over those syringed
with clean water. Red spiders, thrips,
and mealy bugs, hate guano water. Nor
does the guano water leave sediment
upon the foliage, as might be expected.
Use it in this fashion Into bucketful
of soft water mix teacupfu1 Of guano /;
stir well, and leave for day or two to
settle; then pour eff the water into
another vessel, taking care not to stir
up the sediment. Add about as much
clean water; then use as freely as you
please.

The Can of Milk.

In discussing this question Mr.. G. s.
Kelbaum gives some very valuable
suggestions to the Indifferent and in
experienced dairymen of the grave
results that come through their care
lessness. He says manufacturers want
the full and hearty cooperation of every
dairyman in endeayoring to get the best
possible results from their milk with
the least percentage Of loss. Good
COWS, well fed and well watered, will
produce good milk. Well watered
means plenty Of good, healthy water
from a running stream or good well. tt
is. a notorious fact that poor water or
water from stagnant pools-is the
cause of more taint in the milk in
summer time than anything else. Salt,
regularly given, adds to the quantity
as well as the quality Of milk. If it is
possible, let the COWS have access to
plenty Of shade during the hot days in
summer, for many can of milk is
spoiled by single pajlful drawn from
a COW in an over-heated condition. Do
not allow your men to beaf them nsr
dogs to worry them. They will give
more and better milk for the kindness
bestowed upon them. When your men
come to milk insist that they clean the
bag and teats with water, if they need
il, and then dry them before milking,
and for Heavens sake don't allow them
to drain the dirty mixture into the pail
Look to it that every pail, every
strainer, every can, is washed in cold
wattr first and then most thoroughly
with hot water, drained and allowed to
get the suns rays upon them, if pos
sible, for there is no purifier like good
pure air and bright sun. Every
dairy farmer should be psovi led ith a
good milk house, situated at a good
distance from the COW stable, so that it
may be free from the disagreeable odors
that milk is always sure to absorb if
left all night in the COW stable. If you
have not running water in the milk
house, provide yourself with good
wind mill pump. AS soon as the milk
is drawn, carry it at once to the milk
house. Have the water about the cans
changed several times, ard the milk
stirred to prevent cream rising until it
is cooled to about sixty degrees for the
nights milk, and sixty-five for the
mornings. During all this time be
sure and leave the can covers of, to
allow the animal heat to escape. Do
not mix your mornings and night
milk, but place them in separate cans
even if you have only can altogether.
Garry to the factory as soon after milk
ing as it is cooled to a proper tempe.
rature, using, if possible, a spring
wagon, to prevent too great churning
Of the milk on rough roads. Always
cover your cans with blanket to pro
tect the milk from the sun in summer
and from the cold in winter.-American

A Ruse at a Restaurant.

1t is an awkward thing to be absent
minded. The story is told Of certain
Philadelphia gentlemen, who discovered
that at his cost It SO happened the
other day that the dining-room Of the
club which he frequents was quite full,
when man who chanced to know his
particular failing came in very hungry.
The waiter told the customer there was
no room at present. Spying our absent
minded friend comfortably seated and
reading the newspaper, brilliant idea
struck the hungry man.
ssHas Mr.. A-dined yets' he ques-
toned.
s'No, sir" replied the waiter.
"Well, never mind; take him his bill
and tell him he has had his dinner"
The waiter hesitated moment, and
then appreciating the situation went
over to Mr.. A-and handed him his
bill.
s'What is this for?" quoted the poor
fellow.
eFor your dinner, SIR
"My dinner-ahl Have I really had
its"
Eyes, sir" reioined the waiter in ali
innocence.
sDear me, I had an idea I was wait
ing for it. What curious mistake"
And with contemplative smile Mr..
A. sauntered out Of the room, leav-
ing his table for the use Of the genius
who had profted BY his absent-miDded-
ness.

Raw Potatoea.

Pigs, says writer. viii not always
eat, and never can be fattened upon raw
potatoes, while, II they are boiled, next
to boiled peas, perhaps; will bring them
to the greatest weight they are capable
Of attaining, and to greater perfection
than anything else that may be continu-
ously used with safety, admitting that
three to four weeks feeding upon corn,
oats or barley, is necessary to make the
pork firm and impart flavor. It's the
experience ofvery successful pork raisers
that one bushel of corn meal mixed
with four bushels Of boiled potatoes
gives a very satisfactory feed for
pigs.

Raise Your Own Fish.

By attaching a pump, propelled by
the wind, to we'll you can supply a
basin from fifty to seventy-five feet in
diameter and six to eight feet deep,
with water sufficient to raise several
thousand carp or other fish. The cost
of this pond and appurtenances need
not exceed fifty dollars. The bottom
and sides need to be cemented
thoroughly. When the basin is com
plete, place in it small quantity Of
brush or floating weeds. IT you intend
to raise carp, do nct place other fish of
q predatory character in the pond. The
spawning will occur during the spring
months, the female laying from $4,000
to 100000 eggs. The eggs will adhere
to whatever they touch, and will soon
hatch. The green scum Of partially
stagnant pond is fine food for the young
fish. Mud in the bottom of the pond
is beneficial. The fish will feed readily
on kitchen-garden refuse, such as cab
bage, leek, lettuce, hominy or other
substances. Water seldom becomes
too warm for these fish. During freez-
ing weather they bury themselves in
the mud at the bottom Of the pond.
While in this condition they should
not be disturbed. In a pond of the
given dimensions several Thousand fish
have annually been taken, If weeds
and grass grow profusely about the
borders Of the pond, SO much better
for the fish. In two years time you
can have an abundant and constant
supply Of sport and food, and the adj
vantage Of pond to assist in beauti-
flying your home.
