spreading of rails under high tempera-
ture is source of danger. the magnitude
of which travellers know little. When the
ends of the rails are too close, as they art
very apt to be when laid by the usual rule
of thumb way In cold weather, they are
certain to press against each other and
bulge out the track into sort of double
wave line in summer. Spikes will not
cure the difficulty. Indeed, the less strain
placed upon spikes the better for everybo
dy. Here Is the remedy for spreading
which one now forever silent was about to
put INTO practical shape aud patent. but
which may be here gwen free: No track
for railroad should be laid withouta con
stant consultation Of the thermometer and
the application OF guages properly regula-
ted for temperature. That Is the genera
idea. the force of which will be seen al
once by every railroad engineer. Invent Jrs
may find In this blnt something valuable
\ reliance on spikes against spreading
might be shown to be nonsense oy a Iittle
boy who had received his first lesson in
''expsnsiopH of bodies. The absence of
spikes, though. may show that the rails
had spread and that the inspection was ne
slIgent.

The motion of heavy bodies like rail-
way trains shakes the earth Tor consldera-
bic distances, and observation OF such
facts Is gradually giving rise to belief
that the force necessary to produce earth
quake shocks has been over-estimaied. A
delicate apparatus used by Professor b.
NJ Paul showed quite strong vibrations
on the passing of an express train a third
OF mile away, and like effects were obser-
we'd even at somewhat greater distances
A perceptible vibration was transmitted
through the ground whenever q ston. was
struck by the wheels Of one-horss vehicle
pasaing at distance OF 400 or 400 feet.

A CERTAIN barrister named Jones. who

BUTTER is usually salted In accordance
with the demands of the market TO which
It is to be sent. American butter is gener-
ally salted at the rate of about one ounce
to the pound. Perhaps the greater part OF
the sweet cream butter has half or less than
half that quantity. In the south of Europe
indeed ali Latin countries, oil is in more
general use than butter and unsalted butter
is preferred. The ParIsiau custom OF serv-
ing butter entirely unsalted is sometimes
apeu IN England and some of our American
cities, but as a rule the markets demand
that the butter shall carry more thah half
an ounce of salt.
Unsalted butter viii keep forever-pro-
vided it Is butter and only butter. Bat the
butter of commerce Is never pure. IL re-
taIhs more or less OF the other properties
of the mix, and it is these which, while
they add very much TO It's value, are sub
ject 10 almost immediate deterioration, and
IN turn lend to injure the butter itself
Even salt VIII not long preserve them, Un-
sailed butter does not keep The use of
salt IN butter Is more for fiavoring than
Tor preseryative purposes. The protec-
ton and preservation Of butter are due
far more to the packages than to the salt
which is put in it.

AGRICU1.TURE.

BANANAS AND PLAINTAINs.-A pound
of bananas contains more nutriment than
three pounps Of potatoes, while, ss food,
1t is, IN every sense OF the word, far supe-
rior to the best wheaton bread. An acre
Of ground planted with bananas will re-
turn, according TO Humboldt, as much
food material as thirty three acres of wheat
OF over hundred acres of potatoes. The
banana (lt should be called pla.nlain, for
until lately there was no such word IS ba-
nana) is divided into several varieties all
of which IS used for food. The plantino
mazinIto is small, delicate fruit neither
longer nor stouter than lady's forefiuger.
1t Is the most delicious and priced OF all the
varieties Of plantain.
Ey plaRtano guiReo-called by US The
bananas probably more in demand than
any other kind. 1t IS subdivIded Into
different varieties, the principal OF which
are the yellow and purple bananas that
we see for sale in our markets, but the
latter is so little esteemed by the natives
of the tropics that it is seldom eaten by
them.
III PLANTING .grdnde- known to us as
SIMPLY the plantain-is also subdiyided
into varieties, which are known by then
SAVIOR and size. The kind that reaches our
market is almost ten inches long, Yet on the
Isthmus of Danen there are plantains that
grow from eighteen TO twenty-five inches.
They are never eaten raw, but sre either
boiled or roasted or prepared as preserves.
