are lii line condition. They were attacked
with the premOnitory symptoms OF the d.

little ground ginger with their meal,
once every day or two. We also give them
little salt every two or three weeks, which
we deem highly necessary, and above all
things keep watcrmelons, muskmelons and
cucumbers away from them. The tops Of
celery cut up with their food will be found
beneficial and they appear to like 1t very

strong, and the contest for the distinguish

breeds compete, will be more spirited than
ever before.

Utilizing Sun-fSays

Mr.. William Calver, a mining eXper,
living in Washington, has just patented q
new discovery which promises large re
suits. 1t is very SIMPLE, consisting of an
arrangement by which the rays of the sun
are reflected from any number of mirrors
upon common focus. BY accident Mr.
Calver directed the light from two ordinary
llooking-glasses upon the same surface, and
he Immediately observed that the resultant
heat was about doubled, Continuing his
Experiments in this direction, he succeeded
| in reducing wood to ashes, and metal to a
liquid state, merely by concentrating upon
tAem the reflected rays of the sun from
twenty small mirrors with fiat surfaces.
Mr.. Calver does not pretend to explain the
principle, he has simply pursued his ex-
periments until he has brought the process
to point where it can be patented.
A reporter of the Washington Post has
seen the model IN the Patent Office, and
has witnessed some of the experiments.
The model patented by Mr. Calver consists
of number of small looking.glasses ar
ranged in rows upon frame so fixed that
they can be converged upon any one point.
A working model, of which he has num-
Der, was exhibited to reporter in the yard
IN the rear Of his residence. Forty InnO-
cent, guieless- looking, - cent, giltframed
mirrors, each three and three-quarters by
five and three quarters inches, were ar
ranged upon frame prOpped up like an
artists easel and bearing a striking re.
semblance thereto. Facing the east was
the fragment ofwhat was once a barn-dOOr,
also prOpped up, and partly covered with
a worn and faded sheet of zinc that bore
unmistakable evidence of having been
burned through in several places Ii was
but the work of a minute to converge the
forty mirrors upon space three and three
quarter inches by five and three quarter
inches upon the barn.duor, and then the
revelations began. AS each mirror cast It's
quota OF sunshine upon the common store
the parallelogram of light grew white and,
more dazzling, until ut last it looked like
patch OF electric light But little pa.
tience was required to await results. In
less than thirty seconds a thin curling Duff
of smoke gave evidence of the progress of
the experiment. In minute the board
was bursting out in flames. The focus
was then shifted upon the zinc. In q few
minutes il began TO turn color: then
shrink, as il anxious to get away where il
was cooler; and then, in less than three
minutes, the entire surface covered by the
focus was literally melting. drop by drop.
To melt zinc requires atemperature of over
zoo degrees Fahrenheit.
The light projected upon the focus is
wonderfully brilliant. Each mirror
adds its quota, no. only of heat, bat light.
