SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

A chemist named Ditmar has discovered
a process Of solidifying coal oil, and ar
rangements have been completed at Baku,
Russia, for manufacturing candles from
kerosene, which will have greater illumi-
mating power than tallow and can be sold
much cheaper.
For the treatment of both hard and soft
corns DIR. Trail Green speaks highly of
the use of salicylic acid. He has adopted
. formula recommended by DR.. Gezon,
which is as follows: Salicylic acid, 80
parts; extract Cdaabis indicG, parts !;
collodion, 240 parts. The collodion fixes
the acid on the diseased part, and gives
speedy relief by protecting it from fric-
tion. The CdndbtS indicG acts as an an.
odyne. The acid loosens the corn so that
it comes off in four or five days, adhering
to the collodion. If any portion of the
corn remains, the acid should be applied
again, and the treatment continued until
the whole of the corn has disappeared.
A hutter has been caused in scientific
circles by the announcement in the Union
MedicaLe of June ID of the discovery, on
piercing new gallery in coal mine at
Bully Grenay (Pas-de, Calais), of series of
very remarkable caverns. In the first were
the intact fossil bodies Of man, two WON.
en- and three children. Beside them were
petrifed pieces of wooden utensils and re-.
mains of mammals and fish, as we'll as
stone weapons. A second subterranean
cavern revealed eleven bodies of gigantic
size, the fossils of several animals, and 3
great number of various objects, including
precious stones. Into third and larger
chamber the miners could not enter on ac-
count of the carbonic acid it contained. II

Buchanan's Biography.
A BOOK THAT WILL COMMAND ATTEN-
TION

Harper S Brothers have in press
and announce for publication very
soon a biography of James Buchan-
an, by George Tcknor Curtis. That
such biography will be of the high
est interest and value it is not neces
sary to say. The true history of Mr..
Buchanan's administration has up to
the present time been a profound
secret. For while an immense deal
has been written about it, no writer
has had any documentary authority
for his estimate of the motives, inten-
tions and prevailing counsels of the
president and cabinet in the trying
times which preceded the war. From
the later history of such men as Cass,
Dix, Stanton, Holt and others, it has
been generally regarded as settled
that Mr.. Buchanan was alone respon-
sble for the course of his administra
ton. But the history of that admins
tration hitherto published has been in
large part conjectural and imaginary
1t is of the highest importance that
that history should be known. The
time has long passed when from polit-
ical feeling any one could desire to
suppress the truth, and now all men
will be glad to take a dispassionate
view of the men and the events oil
twenty:three years ago at Washington
Mr., Buchanan was in the habit OF
making brief and clear memoranda ot
daily conversations, interviews anC
occurrences, He preserved all impor
tant correspondence. The materia
for his biography is thus ample anC
the character of the book cannot bu
be of the most absorbing interest. 1t,
revelations will undoubtedly surpris,
all who have accepted as true the sup
posed histories which have been writ
ten IN the excitement of strong par
tisan feeling, and perhaps not in tn,
least startling portions will be in the
letters of eminent men who have beer
credited with dissent from the policy
of an administration, which policy
they in fact guided and approved
In any event the biography of Jame
Buchanan covers the most importan
period of our history since the revolu
ton, and knowing as we do, the mate
rial which he left to be used at tn
proper time, we have no doubt tina
Mr. Curtis has made such use of i
that the publication will throw cleare
light on history than any or all of tn
books which have attempted to shoy

FROM all sections of the county the
accounts which reach us as to farming
prospects are Of the most cheering char
acter. There Is this year an unusual
amount OF Summer. fallowed lands, and,
in addition, n great acreage was broken
up after the October rains. Gang plows
are now busy all over the county, and
the amount Of land sown TO grail, will
exceed that Of last year by probably
forty per cent. The Laguna the coming
season wilrundoubtedly wheel into line
with large grain yield The wheat
lords OF the San Fernando, Centinela
and Cahuenga are determined to surpass
all their previous achievements In the
production Of the cereals, and our small
farmers have also caught the stimulus
involved In reliable market and good
prices, and are entering more and more
into the practice of breaking up lands
and sowing them IN wheat and barley.
Fruit planting is going forward in all
directions with vigor never before
heard Of in this section, the citrus fruits
by no means holding their old-time pre-.
eminence In the new era oi tree planting.
Our vineyards are also expanding at a
gratifying rate; and, with some atten-
ton to the raising OF graded cattle for
beef, the local situation could not well
be improved.

The MEssRs. SREsovIcH, GRAY L
Co., of San Francisco, who are so ex-
tensively engaged in the handling of
citrus fruits, report the receipt at that
place Of Mexican and Tahiti oranges as
quite considerable. They claim that
these large importations from abroad
will seriously affect the price of the Los
Angeles staple. On the LIST inst. the
steamer "Newbern" arrived in San Fran
cisco with consignment of 400, 900
oranges, and she will start Immediately
for the Gull Of California for similar
cargo. Other ships are en- route, which
will bring 2,400,0 900 more, thus making
altogether, from sources as to which
there are definite advices, over 5000, 600
oranges, which are certain to reach the
San Francisco market from abroad. If
we remember rightly, the old estimate
Of the yearly consumption of oranges in
San Francisco was in the neighborhood
of 5000, 1000. Nevertheless, our orch
ardists have the Eastern market to fall
back upon; and, under a liberal scale OF
freight rates, we have no doubt they
will be able to get rid Of their fruit at a
profit, The figures of the Messrs.
Sresovich, Gray Co., however, should
be carefully pondered by those of them
who have an opportunity to sell at a fair
figure.

TAKEN as whole the message of presi.
dent Arthur is very creditable docu-
ment. II is remarkably free from gush,
commodity with which both Hayes and
Garfield were abundantly supplied. The
President is approving himself to be a
politician Of the best New York school.
He is smooth, adroit and polite. He
goes out Of his way to show his animos
ity to postal telegraphy, This is a
project which has received the sanction
Of many Of the best minds of the country.
Mr.. Arthur in this respect differs from
his own Postmaster General, who recon-
mended form of the Postal Telegraphy
In his report transmitted through the
President to Congress. The astute "win-
ner of prize in the lotrery of assassina-
ton has not the slightest idea of an
tagonizing corporation so rich and
powerful as the Western Union Tele-
graph Company. He knows well where
his strength lies; and, with his weather
eye firmly fixed on second term, he
will neither do nor say anything calcu-
lated to provoke the wrath and opposi-
tion OF Jay Gould and his friends.

WE had no desire to play the alarmist
in our remarks OF yesterday in regard to
the efforts which are being made by the
merchants Of San Francisco to deprive
Los Angeles, Sacramento and other in-
terror towns Of the commercial advanta-
ges which they enjoy as centers of trade
independent Of the Bay. An energetic
and determined effort is really being
made to induce the railway companies to
change their present enlightened and
liberal policy II has long been appar-
ent to sensible aud dispassionate observ-
ers that the completion of several trans
continental railways in addition to the
Central Pacific would cartail the prism
Of the trade Of San Francisco very mate
rally. Instead of making their prepa-
rations to do business on the modern
principle o. small profits and intense
competition, the merchants Of that city
have an idea that they can "bulldoze'
the railway companies into giving them
a monopoly of the trade of California, at
least The gentleman from whose letter
we quoted yesterday is Mr.. I. w. He'll
man, President Of the Farmers 4 Mer-
chants Bank, who is now on visit to
San Francisco. The plan is audacious
and impudent in the extreme, but it will
be very cold day when the business
men Of the Golden Gate get left on a
question Of check. Fortunately, while
San Francisco is the head she Is not the
whole Of the State of California; and the
merchants and press of the interior can
insure the defeat Of this hogging game.
In giving Sacramento, Los Angeles and
other interior centers of trade a chance
to expand, the railway magna'es are in
suring to themselves the support of the
great masses of the people.
