SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

The reason why the thermometer
does not always accord with the COM
parativc discomfort of hot weather is
owing to Il variation of moisture in
the air. While the human body is all
the time giving off pcrSpiration, either
sensible or insensible, this evaporation
will 60 on more rapidly when the air
contains but little moisture than when
it contains Il great deal. Evaporation
is cooling when it has no obstruction /;
hut when it is obstructed by moist air,
the reverse effect is produced, and u
temperature Of eighty degrees is quite
as oppressive It's that of ninety when
the air is dry.
Dust mixed with air is found to be,
under certain conditions, a dangerous
explosive. Thus. if a large log of
wood were isnited, it might be i week
before it would be entirely consumed ;
split up into cord wood, and piled up
loosely, it would, perhaps, burn in less
than an hour; cut into sllavings and
allow Il strong wind to throw them into
the air-or in any way keep the chips
comparatively well separated from each
other-and the log would perhaps be
consumed in two orthree minutes but
if ground up into fine dust or powder,
and blown in such a manner that each
particle is surrounded by air, it would
| burn in less than a second.
The first screw boats ever built in
| America, and so far as the engineer
knows, the first iron hulls, were the
Anthracite and the Black Diamond,
constructed on the plans of Captain
Ericsson, and employed in carrying
coal through the Delaware and Raritan
canal. The first sea-going propeller
built in America was the frigate
Princeton, also after Captain Ericsson's
designs, but under the superintendent
of Captain Stockton. This vessel was
a f%ull-riggcd ship, and it was the in
tentiOn to use steam only IS occasion
might require as an aid to the sails.
But Ericsson did not make the first
propeller. 1t vas first used by an
American some forty years agol.
One of the most interesting computa-
tons which have engaged the attention
of scientists is that relating to the
amount of force impaired to the earth
by the suns heat. According to some
of the French Investigations there is
received in one minute enough heat to
raise the temperature Of five and me-
half cubic miles of water n degree
ccntigrade. Comparing this with the
work done by a given amount OF heat,
as utilized in Il steam engine, it would
appear that the heat sent to the earth in
the suns rays during the space Of one
minute is equal to the accomplishment
of as much work as would be done by
1000 steam engines of 100 horse
power each, working continuously for
the space of 1000 years. BY far the
larger part of this heat force eNpcnds
itself upon the earth in actual work,
only a small portion of it being radiated
into space. Necessarily, the result thus
accomplished-such as the mainte-
nance of the temperature of the earth,
ocean and atmosphere, the stimulating
Of animal and vcgetableli life, ctc.-must
be the equivalent of the power retained
by our globe; but a vast announcements
unaccountcd for still.

Poisonous Leaves.

Some of our most admired flowers
which we would least willing Danish
from cultivation, are associated with
green leaves Of Il very poisonous charac-
ter. The narrow long leaves of the
datfodil act as in irritant poison ; the
delicate compound leaves of laburnum
have a narcotic and acrid juice which
causes purging, vomiting, and has not
unfrequcntlv led to death. The nar-
row leaves Of the meadow saffron, or
autumn crocuS, give rise to the utmost
irritation of the throat, thirst, dilated
pupils, with vomiting and purging.
The dangerous character of acOnitc. or
monkslood leaves, is doubtless well
known, but each generation OF chill
drcn requires instruction to avoid
aboveal i hingstllosclargc,pa lm-shapcd
leaves, dark green on the upper surface.
Leaves of coarse weeds provide IN
abundant quota of danger, hut fire.
qucntly their strong scent and bitter or
nalScous taste give timely warning
against their being consumed.
OF all our British orders of plants
perhaps the umbelliferouS order %
tributes the rankeSt and most wide
spread elements of danger. The water
dropwort, too, Il llourishing ditch plant;
the water hclnlock, fools parsley, must
he ranked among III most dangerous
poisonous plants, belonging to the UNI
bcllifcrous order. Tie fools parsley
leaves are sometimes mistaken Tor gen
uine parsley, but their nallseouS olor
and darker leaves should prevent this.
The nightsllade order is another, with
dangerous and often extremely poison
Gus leaves. Indeed, no nightshadc
can be regarded as safe; while the
deadly nightshadc, with its oval. I'M
cut leaves, soft, smooth and stalkcd,
are in the highest degree to be avoided.
EIenbane and thornapple again, with
their large and much indented leaves,
are conspicuous members of the dan

SuDplicS for Old Sol.

A writer in the Kansas City RcricM
saws: The effect of comctary prrclplta-
ton on the sun cannot be detected
on the earth except Ivy the most pow
crful instruments. What is the sun?
1t is a colossal ball $4,000 miles in di-
amctcr, whose mighty mass is 33l,63l
times greater than that of the earth.
What is Il comet falling into this awful
furnace? Nothingbut as one iircbrand
in the conflagration of Chicago. En-
plosions are always taking place on the
face of the sun, causing greater up
hcaval than the downruSh of II dozen
comets. Can c0mctary collision on the
sun iniure man? Indeed, such impact
serves to keep him alive. The sun
does not radiatc too much heat now,
and astronomers are agreed that part
of the present supply is kept up ny II
coslnical bombardmpnt. We are flung
away in some nook of the universe
chained to an expiring world--a home
that is already suffering entertainments
of polar ice. We exist only by the heat
of the sun. The real danger lies not in
cometary downrush, but in the fear
that not enough meteors and comets
will gravitate into solar fires. The
longer comets can strike the sun the
ouger man can inhabit the earth.

To Avoid Drowning.

It is Il well known fact, says tho
Scientific Amcric0n, that any person OF
average structure and lung capacity
will float securely in water il. care is
taken to keep the hands and arms sub.
merged and the lungs full of air. Yet
in most cases the people who are not
swimmers Immediately raise their
hands above their heads and scream
the moment they find themselves in
deep water. The folly of such action
can bcimpreSsivcly illustrated by means
of a half empty bottle and a couple of
nails, and the experiment should he re-
prated in every loushold until all the
mrmbcrs-particularly the women and
rhildrcn-rcaliZc that the only chance
for safety in deep water lies in keep
ing the hands under and the mouth
shut.
Any short-neckcd, squarc-sllouldercd
bottle will answer, and the nails can
easily be kept in place by a rubber
band or string. First ballast the bot
tie with sand, so that it will just float
with the nails pointing downward,
then by turning the nails upward the
bottle will be either forced under the
water at one Or will he tipped over
50 that the water will be poured into
the open mouth, and down it will go.
To children the experiment is Il very
impressive one, and the moral of it is
easily understood. 1t may prove Il
~life-saving lesson.

supposed supernatural clipping Of
queues. 1t was the theory that sor-
ccrers obtained possession OF these
clippings of hair, and hcnccforth were
able to evoke ut will the soul of the
former owner, who soon died from the

for the sufferer to cut off an inch or

and keep it for eighty days soaking in

connection between his head and the

oldest of all defensive methods is
that of swapping off the tail. The
blind-worm, or slow-wOrm, is Il snake
like lizard cGmmon in the old world.
When alarmed it contracts its muscles
in such manncr and degree rs to break
its tail off ut considerable distance from
the end. But how ar this aid it?
The detached tail then dances about
very lively, holding the attention of
the offender. while the lizard himself
sinks away. And for Il considerable
time the tail retains its capahility Of
twisting and jumping every tim" it is

THEFARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Care of Young Animals.

This is a fit topic for consideration.
The young animals being weaned and
deprived of their mothers milk-the
most appropriate for their growth and
health-the art of man 0 comes into
practice in place Of natural instincts.
The young animal must hc fed and its
food chosen and %apportioned for it.
This should he done with propriety. II
the food is not precisely right no cX-
cess of quantity will make up for the
defect in that respect. In fact, excess
of quantity will he serious error, al
though the food should not he of the
very best. We cannot here suggest
what foods should he used, and can
only give a hint or two us to the man
ner of feeding. This should he very
cautiously done. y young animal Is
spoiled as soon as it becomes fat. for
its food is turned from the production
of bone and muscle-which are
needed - to the growth Of fat,
which is unnecessary and positively
unhealthful. The food should be
given in small quantities and
often, and the ration increased gradu-
ally as it may he found to be disposed
of in Il satisfactory manner. Water IS
of the greatest necessity. and this
should not only be literally supplied
but it should be perfectly pure. Rcgu-
larity in feeding is of the greatest i'm
portant. Animals do not reason, but
they remember their times of feeding;
they fret and worry if the times pass
without bringing the expected food,
and this worry seriously affects them.
Sheep and pigs are especially fretful II
their usual time passes by, and a flock
of sheep thus worried througha whole
winter will fail to gain weight, al
though us we'll fed as another that hay
ing been fed regularly may add twenty
pounds Il head to their carcasses. The
habits and requirements of each ami
nal should he watched, and a weak.
timid thing that is driven from its food
by belligerent and tyrannical COM
panions should be kept separate. The
owners eye should be everywhere and
orthe continual watch to observe how
his young stock are progressing, and
just now this is important, because it
is indispensable for their welfare that
they should begin the season strong,
vigorous and robust.--Irish Farmers
