Scientific Adulteration.

Authorizations in food and drugs
when clumsily made are easily enough
detected but the crafty and unselfish
fellows who adulterate these products,
frequently do their work with such
scientific skill that no ordinary watch
fulness will suffice to defect 1t. So
many substances which formerly were
supposed to be the products exclusively
of living organisms can now be pro-
ducsd artificially in the chemists lab
oratory so closely resembling the nat
ural organic substances themselves,
that it Ia impractical to distinguish
the artificially prepared compound
from the true one. In medicine,
v~aelrianic acid, benzoic acid, volatile
oil of bitter almonds, etc, are familiar
illustrations Of the artificial produe-
ton of Substances which at one time
were known only a peculiar consti-
tuents of certain plants, or parts of
plants. Essential oil of mustard Is
recently reported to be extensively

Forestry.

In answering an invitation to be
present at the forestry convention at
Cincinnati, John G Whittier, who,
like all men of ~sensibility, is a lover
of trees. wrote: my indignation is
yearly aroused by the needless sacri-
flee of some noble oak or elm, and es
pecially of the white pine, the grand
est tree in our woods, which l would
not exchange for Oriental palms. My
thanks will be due to the public
school which is to plant a group oil
trees in my honor. L could ask no
better memorial. / have always adj.
mired the good taste of the Sakokis
Indians around Sebago lake, who,
when their chief died, dug around a
beech tree, swaying it down, and
placed his body 10 the rent, and then
let the noble tree fall back into its
original place-a green and beautiful
monument for the son of the forest"

adulterated with an artificial product
made from allyl alcohol. Substances
may have apparently the same ele-
mentary composition, and yet differ
essentially 10 properties, aud 1t is not
certain that any artificial imitation Of
an organic substance used in medicine
has vet been made which possesses
the same medicinal properties as the
natural product. On the contrary, we
do know that in some cases the most
striking differences as to physical
properties exist, notwithstanding the
apparently proven identity as. to
chemical composition (isomerjsm).
Starch, dextrin, and wood.fbre are
all represented by the formula C6Hl0
O5, and yet they differ widely u
from the other. 1t is easy therefore,
to suppose that organic substances can
be successfully sdulterated with other
organic substances without fear of de-
lection by ordinary means, but with a
material change IN quality. A the
art Of successful adulteration must
necessarily steal its secrets from SCI
ence, it becomes evident that the
necessity for the employment of scien-
tifc experts to protect the public
against impositions of this kind must
grow with the advance of science
itself, and the time has arrixed when
public analysis are actually indispen
sable.

LIFE HATH ITS BARREN YEARS"

life hath it's barren y ears,
when blossoms fall ustimely down,
When rIpened ftuitage falls 70 crown
The summer toll, when natures frown
Looks only on our tears.
Life hath It's faithless days,
The golden promise of the morn,
That seemed for light and gladness born,
Meant only noontide wreck and scorn,
flushed harp instead Of praise.
Life hath its valleys, 100,
Where we must talk with vain regret,
With mouraing clothed, with wild rain wet
Toward sunlight hopes that soon must SET.
All quenched in pitying dew.
Life hath its harvest moons.
Its tasseled corn and purpie-weighted vine;
lis gathered sheaves Of grain, the BILE ssed sign
or p~lenteous ripening bread and pure rich
wiue,
Full hearts for harvest tunes.
Life bath its hopes fulfilled;
It's glad fuilions, Its blest answered prayer,
Sweeter for waiting long, whose holy air,
Indrawn TO silent souls, breathes forth It's
rare,
srand speech by Joy distilled.

Dangerous Dome of ST. Sophia,

Great CONSERVATION has been caused
in Constantinople by a report that the
mo- que of st. Sophia is in danger of
collapsing; for there is a tradition
among the Turks that the fall of this
basiliea will herald the dismember
ment of the empire. The mosque was
restored at o great expense by the Sui
tan Abdul Medjid in le49, under the
susperintendenee of he Italian archi-
tect, Fossati. But the work does not
appear to have been very well execu-
ted, for the grand done, which is 100
feet in diameter and 270 feet high, Is
so insecure that, according to the re-
port of the architect who has been
called in by the Minister of Public
Works, it may fall at any moment.
In other respects the interior of the
mosque is in a fairly good state Of
preseI walton. Among the many relics
preserved in the mosque of st. Sophia
is the carpet upon which Mohammed
was wont to bray, and close to the
place where the carpet is suspended
stands the pulpit from which the
Khatib reads the koran every, Friday
holding in his hand a drawn sword as
- m, Ole OF st. Sophia having been
conquered from the ipfdel. Another
Of the relics preserved in st. Sophia is
the cradle of our Savior, waich, accor-
ding to tradition, was brous hit from
Bethlehem, together With a sort of ba-
siu in which h S mother washed him.

Angus MacD onald's Farm.

Angus Macdonald was a farmer
from Charlotteburg, County Glen
garry, who arrived in Winnipeg a
few days ago. Angus, in his own es-
timation, and in the estimation of his
friends, was a shrewed man. He was
hardly in the place before an old &C
qu%aintance of his ran up against him,
Shaping him on the back in a friendly
way, and said
I'm glad you've come up. / was
just going to send for you.' After
their greeting he continued by the
way, Angus, you own a farm ont near
Minnedosa !"
"Yes.n
How much will you take for it 2"
"I don't know" said Angus; ~
thought of settling on it myself"
"Well, III tell you what, I'll give
you 5 Zoo for it,"
Angus thou ght before leaving Glen
garry that if ne got 81 600 for it he
would be doing well, but he was now
in the land of booms, and 50 he asked
for it So, $40.
"Well, here's $50 on the bargain,
and we'll sign the papers tomorrow"
And the purchaser rushed off.
Before two hours had passed Argus
ran against another old acquaintance.
"Glad to see you, Angus; glad you
came up. There's a splendid chance
for you. BY the way, I see you reg
istered as owning a farm near Mime
dosa. How much do you want for
that farm !"
"Iive just sold it," said Angus.
"How much did he give you p"
"Six thousand five hundred dol.
lars"
"The dickens you did. Why, I'll
give you SIS, 900 fer it. You go to the
purchaser and get him to release you,
and I'll give you the SIS, 00O."
Angus wished that he was back at
st. Rsphaels or anywhere else, since
he had made such a fool of himself.
However, all he could do was to try
and get the farm back. So who does
he run across within fifteen minutes
but purchaser No. l.
Says Angus:
"I'm sorry l sold you my farm. I'd
like to get it back. Here's your $50,
and we'll be where we were"
ooh, / can't do that. 1 bought the
farm, and will have the papers ready
tomorrow
After further higgling, Angus Of
fered him $500 to break the bargain.
With great reluctance the first pur-
chaser took the S500-I00 new S.
bills of the Bank of Mon real-and
gave back TO Angus the temporary
agreement of sale.
Angus was happy again, and set
out to find buy er No. 2
He found him not. No. l and No 3
were pal confidence men. Angus was
the sucker from Ontario, and $3.50 was
the net amount that they stung him
for.

Exahalations Of the Lungs.

The human lungs exhale, in twenty
four hours, about two pounds of EAR
bonic acid. This is the produce of the
burning Of nine ounce of carbon. AS
giving some idea Of the forces within
the body, it is interesting to know
that the combustion of nine ounces of
carbon liberates over six million foot
pounds of energy. This is equivalent
10 more than one-eighth of a horse
power acting continuously for the
twetny.four hours; or 1t equals one
hundred and eighty two horse powers
working for one minute.

A New Lamp.

The use OF projections on n screen as
an aid in instruction is now widely
appreciated but an absence of the cleo
trio or calcium light (which is often
not procurable) it may prove difficult
to get light sufficiently intense for
large images. Dr. Regnard has lately
devised a lamp of simple character,
the light of which is equal to about
half that of the calcium light, and
which should find various use besides
The Cne indicated. The idea is burn
ing on a metallic net a mixture OF air
and petroleum vapor. The apparatus
consists merely of& common Bunsen
burner, terminated by q smsil cage of
platinum wire. The petroleum vapor
mixture takes the place of the gas,
being supplied through an india
rubber tube at the bottom from appaT-
atus of well. known form, an air cur.
rent from a bellows being sent through
petroleum in a %stoppered vessel,
whence, charged with vapor, it passes
to the lamp. The intense hest in burn
ing of the mixture renders the plat
mum cage brightly u ndescent. To
send all the light in one direction, a
bent nozzle Of trumpet shspe, closed
with platinum net, may be adapted to
the Bunsen burner. By use of a fam
blower to supply tire air current, sew
erai lamps may be kept IN action, for
the lighting of halls, work hops, ETC.,
the effect being much like that of in.
csndescent electric lamps. A large
weighted bellows VIII keep one of the
lamps going for several hours. The
lamp would be useful to doctors in ex-
animation of the throat, ear, etc. The
cost of maintenance is t~rifiiing.

Restoring the Color of the Hair.

II is said that equal parts of butter
nut bark and black tea, with water,
in which a few rusty nails have been
thrown, will restore hair that is pre-
maturely turning gray to it's original
color. Steep well and saturate the
hair once a day. There is nothing
injurious in the mixture at any rate,
and it Is, perhaps, worthy of trial.
