THE famous pianist, DIR. Hans Won
Bulow, has lately become the inmate of
a lanutic asylum, and another pianist of
great distinction, Herr Carl Heymann,
has just been placed in an asylum for
the second time. A st. Petersburg critic
argues that much pianoforte playing in
must have driven these artists mad, and
that pinoforte playing in general is SO
exhausting to nerve power as to induce
insanity. To attain anything like per
fection in the art good physical Con-
stitution and much nerve power are no
doubt necessary. But the number OF
pianists who are quite as sane as those
who listen to them is very large.

THREE railroads are soon to penetrate
the panhandle of Texas, which, though
Occupying an erea of Gfty-tbree thous
and mile, has. hitherto been almost en-.
tirely uninhabited. 1t is divided on
paper into hfty-tbree counties, as YET
unorganized, and is known as the 'Stak.
ed Palms. until now considered unin.
habitable. Late Investigations show
that two-thirds Of this vast area are
capable of being cultivated for wheat
and the other portions promise to be-
come valuable grazing grounds for cat
tie. The new railroads will open one Of
the most wonderful unknown sections

American Agrieulturist for February

American Agriculturist for February,
from which we clip the following:
About half the weight Of the dry sub
stance of ordinary plants consists of
carbon. This element, when in free
state, is a solid. 1t is familiar to us as
charcoal. anthracite coal. black-lead,
lamp-black and diamond. The presence
of carbon in plants is made known by a
process of incomplete burning, rs in the
preparation of charcoal. Carbon, in its
pure and uncombined forms, is very in
ldestructible. excepting when exposed to
high heat; then IL combines with Oxy-
gen, and forms csrb5nic acid gas. This
is the familiar gas of the soda water
fountains. 1t is produced by decaying
vegetation, given of in the breath of
animals, and is the deadly choke damp
of coal mines. CaIbonic acid gas forms
on an average. about four-hundredthS
of one per crnt. OF the atmosphere. The
carbun necessary for the production of
the annual growth Of vegetation is de-
rived from the earbonic acid gas of the
atmosphere. The supply of this gas to
the air Is constantly kept up by the de-
cay and burning Of plants. In this way
the same particles of carbon may be
taken up Dy a vegetable, and, after it
has decayed, pass into the structure of
second plant, and so on through an end
less number of ages. The carbonic acid
gas enters the leaves through multitudes
of small openings. called stomata, or
breathing pores. The microscope dis
closes more than hundred thousand of
these pores upon single square inch of
leaf surface. Only the green portion of
the leaves. and under the influence OF
sunlight, have the power Of decomposing
the carbonic acid gas. reserving the car
bon to produce organic compounds, to
become part of the plant, while the OK
ygen set free, passes again into the at
mosphere. There are some plants that
have no chlorophyll or leaf green, and
such are not able to decOmposs carbOnic
acid. They are called parasites. and abb
serb the carbon they need in the form of
organic compounds that have been pro-
duced in the green leaves of true work
ing plants.

Interestiur and Valuable Resalts.


The experiments with Indian corn at
Houghton farm, as so far reported, show
Ist. How such work ought to be
commenced the general uniformity of
the soil proved by examination and by
raising crops without manure. The land
is accurately laid off into fifth-acre plots
two rods wide, underdrained by tile
drain through the center Of each and
accessible at the lower end for examina-
tiun of the drainage waters.
I'd. How it should be conducted SO
that all the plots and all parts of each
plot should be subjected to the same in
fiuences-plowed at the same time, har-
rowed at the same time, planted the
same day, titled at the same time. and
50 ON, to the harvesting, and husking,
and storing, the plan being to subject
each plot to precisely the same Influences
foom first to last.
Sd. They show, incidentally, remark
able effect Of drainage tnoted below:
trey confirm the views taken at Roth
amsted in regard to the relations Of barn
yard manure to soils and crops, which
depend not so much upon its chemical
constituents as upon its physical prop
critics, and the relations OF the soil to
moisture; and they indicate that the best
results to be gained from commercial
fertilizers will be In connection with
barn-yard manure.
4th. 1t Is clearly shown that manures
affect the amount of moisture found ia
the grain as harvested, and that the
weight Of tL tbushel of the same kind of
corn does not depend altogether upon its
dryness, as usually supposed, but in a
measure upon its compactness, which is
Influenced by the relations of the soil to
moisture and manures.
The curious Development Of fertility
%. drainage alluded TO, occurred in this
way: Some years ago a portion of the
ground now occupied by the experiment
al plots was used to test certain COM
mercial fertilizers. No effect of these
fertilizers was observed upon the crops
Of 1879, when they were applied, nor in
1870; bus in 1880, after the drains were
put in, marked effect was visible,
which was also noticeable In the crop of
1881. This clearly indicates, either that
by means Of the drainage the roots of
the plants. were able to penetrate deeper
into the sell, and so had access to ele-
ments OF fertility which had sunk be-
yond their reach. or that the soil thro'
the effects OF drainage was able to draw
up moisture with whatever of fertility
it might hold In solution, from lower
depth than before, or both Of these causes
might have contributed to the increased
crops over this ares.-l American Agri-I
culturist for February.

HALLS

HAIR REVIEWER

was the rst preparation perfectly adapted to cure
diseases Of the scalp and the first successful re-
storer of faded or gray hair to its natural color,
growth, and youthful beauty. 1t has had many
imitstors, but none have % fully met all the re-
quirements needful for the proper treatment Of
the hair and scalp. HALLS HAIR REVIEWER has
steadily grown in favor, and spread its fame and
usefulness to every quarter of the globe. Its un-
paralleled success can be attributed TO but one
cause: the entire fH!flEseat Of its promises.
The proprietors have often been surprised at the
receipt of orders from remote countries, where
they had never made an effort for its introduction.
The use for short time of HALLS HAIR
RENEwER wonderfully improves the personal
appearance. It cleanses the scalp from all i'm
purities, cures all humors, fever, and dryness,
and thus prevents badness. 1t stimulates the
weakened glands, and enables them to push for
ward new and vigorous growth. The effects Of
this article not transient, like those of alco-
holic preparations, but remain q long time, which
makes its use matter of economy.
