sight take for gas or water pipes. They
carry the naphtha from the reservoirs
at the mines to the refining factories.
And now that 1 am op the subject Of
pipes may mention that nice little
contract awaits some iron-master in
England or Belgium. The principal
oil-mastar in Oleopolis is asking the
Russian Government for permission
which no doubt he will cbtain-to lay
down lines of pipes all the way from
Baku, on the Caspian, to Batoum, on
the Black Sea, Distance of some 460
miles. There is touch of American
grandeur in such an undertaking. This
particular oil-master, Swiss gentle
man, is proprietor of about forty springs,
which, as / was told on the spot, yield
10000 pools, each of thirty-eight
pounds, per diem. One fountain which
l passed. do not know whether it was
that gentleman's property-has been
running for five years at the rate OF
$4,000 pools per day. The total yield
of Oleopolis was calculated at 20, 900, 900
pools in 1878. Now, / am told, it is
about 100, 900, 000."

Turnip klea-WOrms.

The turnip fly, which everywhere
visits and feeds upon the first leaves of
the young turnip, is small, black,
jumping beetle, and is often called the
turnip flea, and sometimes Black Jack.
The beetle feeds only on the young
leaves, and not on the rough ones. II
turnip crop can be carried through
the first week after it is out of the
ground, or until it is in the rough, it is
safe from much further harm from the
insect. The best means, therefore, of
guarding against injury by the beetle is
to have the soil rich and in the best con-
dition to push the plants along strong
and rapidly from the first. In our own
practice we have found that busting the
plants as soon as they make their ap-
pearance with fine air-slaked lime,
wood ashes, or with plaster (gypsum),
has the effect to protect the leaves to
great extent, while it in no way Injuries
or checks their growth. These RENE
dies are very generally recognized and
applied. 1t is true that the insects are
not wholly deferred from their attacks
by the application of these substances,
and, if the stand is poor one, it may
be destroyed in spite of all efforts to
save it. A thick seeding is desirable,
and then, if the, plants come well and
the powder is applied as soon as they
are out of the ground, and repeated aa
often as necessary to keep the leaves
covered, a sufficient number for n good
crop can usually be Brought to perfec-
ton. As often as rains wash the pow.
der off the plant it must be redusted,
and kept covered until in the rough
leaf. 1t is best to apply the dust in the
morning when the plants are moist
with dew, or otherwise to have one per-
son go forward and sprinkle them,
while another follows scattering the
powder.
Worms at the roots of house plants
can be destroyed by the use of lime
water. Take lump of lime, six or
eight pounds, and slake it in pail of
water, and when it has settled pour of
the clear liquor and immerse the pot
in it, letting it stand fifteen or twenty
minutes; and then take it out and allow
it to drain. By this means earth-worms
will be destroyed, or they will come to
the surface and can then be removed.
The small white worms that are some
times found in pots of plants may be
destroyed by the phosphorus on COM
mon matches. Take three or four
matches and stick them into the soil of
the pot, phosphorus end into the soil,
and also insert two or three into the
soil at the bottom by thrusting them
upward through the drainage hole

An Extraordinary Eve.

There was an occurrence in Northern

has no parallel in any known history.
While John Daniel, or Hughes, negro,

John was frightened out of his wits for

in loud groans, and while he was strug.

great surprise and happiness he could

A Fall in Prices.

In the early days of Michigan, when
one dealer was the source of supply for
a large territory, a capitalist from the
East suddenly bought up all the tobac-
co and whisky to be got hold of in the
State. There was no railroad commune
cation; it was winter, and there was
NO navigation, and everything promised
a big profit on the speculation. Prices
began to creep up, and settlers to in
quire and protest, and the capitalist
was rubbing his hands and holding on.
when something happened. He was
on his way to church one Sunday, when
he was seized by band of tough-look-
ing pioneers and carried to the river,
where hole already had been cut in
the ice. "What is the meaning of thisp"
he finally asked. 1T means old prices
fur whisky and terbacker!n replied the
spokesman. "Howp" They proceeded
to enlighten him. Two of the band
gave him duck into the water. and he

times before he got his breath and said:

OlI.WelIs Of Baku.

The railway between Tifiis, the Capi-
tai of Trans-Caucasia and Baku. was
opened on May /. A correspondent of
the London Daily Nescs passed through
on the first trip. There are many first
sights in the East" he saws. (Which
one never forgets, such as the first sight
OF the pyramids, or of India at Bombay
or OF the mysterious glow which in a
dark night may suddenly illumine the
ocean, perhaps to vanish as quickly as
1t appeared, and the first sight of the
Caspian, especially If near Baku, is one
of them. Not that it is, like the others,
marvellous or beautiful. But il is
strange and startling after many DAYS
travelling among the silent mountains
and the empty plains to come all at
once upon this big port on the shore
OF great sea in the heart of Asia; this

upon its amphitheater of brown hills
with forests of masts bristling along the

Die black country away to the left, the
black, gray, and white smoke of which
hides the sky and stretches over the
land for leagues-the petroleum mines
of Baku. Let us visit them; in the in
dustrial sphere, at all events, there are
few if any sights as curious in the whole
of the Continent. Half an hours run
by railway brings us into the heart of
the black district, and to the place
named Sarunchi, which may also be
called Oleopolis, from tho greasy char
Rcter of its soil, to say nothing of its
very heavy atmosphere. The oil oozes
with the sticky, oleaginous stuff. You
walk over acres after acres of what at
first sight seems to be fields of asphalt,
such as that with which they cover the
London streets. Only at Sarunchi the
asphaltic-looking ground yields ut every
step, like soft putty, and perspires
greasily at every pore.
Some Of the mines here can produce
enough of it to light the whole of Asia,
and the Russians are doing their utmost
