Value Of the SunfiOWer.

Agriculturists claim it is the best
egg producing food known forpoultry,
keeping them in thriving condition
and largely increasing the production
of eggs. Every poultry raiser who
tries it will find that this seed is the
best food known for CLOSING the plum
age of fowls, and is almost indispen-
sable to those who want to fit their
birds for exhibition to the best advan,
tage. The Russian sunfower is easily
raised, requires very little care, can be
grown in fence corners, or other places
difficult to cultivate. Its production
of seed is Immense, yielding often at
the rate of one hundred bushels to the
acre. 1t should be planted in hills
four feet apart, any time from the 10th
of May to the 1st of July. Three quarts
of seed will plant an acre.

through a complete metallic circuit;
IN other words, a double line. II is
hardly possible for the telegraph
business of two large cities to be
conducted by telephone by the send.
ers OF messages themselves, for 500
wires might not suffice to prevent a
block in busy hours, and merchants
could not and would not wait.
TO operate telephones as the tele-
graph is now used would be equally
impractcable. Even were the in
struments as little liable to disorder
as the Morse, the greater danger of
errors would weigh against them.
There is no system OF signals as clear
as the present Morse code, as inter.
preted by the "sounder." Each letter
OF u word is given, and ordinarily
good operators seldom err in the rec
ord. By telephone it is the sound of
u word, and not its vowels and con.
sonants, which the operator receives,
and a mistake can easily happen even
under the best conditions. 1t is to
be doubted, too, if the rapidity OF
transmission by telephone, where the
message had to be written down al
the receiving station, would even ap.
proximate that of the Morse system
Proper names, scientific terms, and
phrases in foreign language, ETC..
would have to be carefully spelled
out, and even then they would fall
wide of accuracy.
By the Morse system good operators
will receive at the rate of forty-fve
words minute, which is almost the
limit of rapid penmanship, and will
often take a 1000 word message
without once interrupting the sender
The lines, too, will work in the heavi
est weather, and are only interfered
with by serious electrical Storm, OF
by actual accident to the wires
Again, by the quadruplex system
four messages can 60 at once ovel
one wire, while the long distance tel
ephone requires two wires for one
message. All in all, there seems tc
be but little prospect Of the presen
series of experiments resulting in
practical good, however gratifying
from scientific standpoint.-Neu

The Face of the Gl9be.

1t is estimated that the proportion
of the surface of the globe covered
by water is to the land surface as 27e
to 100, and that the average height
of land OF continents over the world
above sea level is somewhat less than
1000 feet. The great mountain
chains by which the continents are
more OF less traversed form narrow
ridges, which rise in no case more
than $4,000 feet, or say about five
and quarter miles above sea level,
and add but comparatively little to
the mass of ground above the sea
level. On the other hand the contour
lines of the oceanic basins tell a very
different tale Of the great submarine
depressions. The soundings made
on the voyage of the challenger" in
the North Pacific Ocean have shown
that it's mean depth is not less than
$4,000 feet, and that of the South
Pacific about 10000 feet, while the
mean depth of the North Atlantic is
found to be $4,000 feet, and of the
South Atlantic $4,000 feet. 1t is
only in high northern ATTITUDES, in
the North Atlantic and North Pacific,
that the soundings give evidence OF
shallower seas-of o mean depth OF
about 5000 feet. Thus it is extraor-
binary how small the mass of land
projecting above the sea level is COM
pared to the mass Of waters filling
the depressions beyond that level.
Taking the average depth of the
seas and ocean at 10000 feet, and
the height of the land at 1000 feet,
the mass of the land above water, as
compared to the mass of waters
filling the ocean troughs, is nearly IN
the proportion of one to thirty. 1t is
curious that the deepest sounding re-
corded by the challenger in the
North Pacific registered a depth OF
about five miles and a quarter
depth which closely corresponds with
the elevation above sea level of the
Hottest point of land, namely, the
summit of Mount Everest, IN the
Himalayas, which is 29,0O2 feet, OF
very nearly five miles and a quarter
We must remember, however, thai
the one measurement is that OF
mere peak, while the other probably
giyes the depth of an extended
trough. We may thus realize how
irregular are the contour lines OF the
Globe, and how deep the depression'
and abysses concealed from our view
Inv seas and oceans. Could all these
waters be drained off from the surface
our earth would present the aspect o.
a solid sphere everywhere wrlnkleC
and deeply pitted. Nevertheless, II. u,
actual dimensions are so great thai

tToughs five miles deep bear nc

ALarge Turtle.

Captain Augustus G. Hall and the
crew of the schooner Annie l.. Hall
vouch for the following: On March
80, while on the Grand Bank, in lati-
tude 40 degrees and 10 minutes, long
itude 80 degrees, they discovered an
immense live trunk turtle, which was
at first thought to be vessel bottom
up. The schooner passed within
twenty-five feet of the monster, and
those on board had ample opportunity
to estimate its dimensions by a com
parison with the length of the schoon-
er. The turtle was at least 40 feet
long, 30 feet wide, and 80 feet from
the apex Of the back to the bottom Of
the under shell. The iippers were
% feet long. 1t vss net deemed
advisable to attempt Its capture.

Despite the fact that recent e1pen-

bility of telephening over long CIR

Plate Glass Manufacture.

About thirty miles south of ST.
Louis, on the main line of the st.
Louis, Iron Mountain g. Southern
Railway, is Crystal City, the home of
plate glass manufacture in the far
west. The works of the Crystal Plate
Glass Company are located some dis
lance from the station but small
branch railway affords ready commun-
ication at all times. 1t is but few
years since it was the popular i'm
preston that plate glass could not be
produced in this country, and that
idea is but partially obliterated at the
present time, while the facts are that
much of the finest and largest plate
glass now being used in the finest
buildings of all our large cities is
made in this country from native ma
terial, and is in every respect equal to
that of foreign make. In the manu-
facture of glass of the very best quail.
ty the Crystal Plate Glass Company is
equal to any other. The two things
which account for this fact are, first,
the superior material-in other words,
the Plattin sandwich takes its
name from the stream of that name
Oh the banks Of which the sand rock
quarries lie; and secondly, the expert
ence and skill of those under whose
management the work is prosecuted.
The deposit of sand is PROFESSIONALLY
the most extraordinary aud valuable
that has ever been discovered in the
world. Incalculable in its extent,
this white sand is here found in lof.
ty bluff into which tunnels have been
driven for distance of over fifty feet,
and from which the invaluable mater
ial is obtained in absolute perfection
ready for use. 1t is dazzlingly white
and is perfectly translucent. The
company owns 200 acres of this bluff,
which averages seventy feet in thick
ness, and could not be exhausted in
hundreds OF years. The exceeding
purity of the sand has excited the ad-
miration of thousands.
Other indispensable materials re-
quired in plate glass production are
also found here in exhaustless guam
tity OF the highest order of merit. 1t
may be interesting to state that every
ingredient that enters into any formu-
" for the production of plate glass is
lv~ts.lab'e in this country save soda
ash, ana that this can and will be
made in st. Louis is but question of
time.
The immense works of the company
We're commenced it 1872 by the
American Plate Glass Company, with
d capital stock of $250,O0O. In 1874
this was raised to 100000, and in
1880 to $1,OOO,OO0. The city con-
tains upward of 100 frame houses for
the several hundred men, women and
children. The situation is a most
charming one for residence as well as
valuable for manufacturing purposes,
and the buildings in all their strength,
powerful machinery, the peaceful vii
Iage with it's refining influences, the
raw material in it's exceeding wealth
and purity, and the manufactured ar
ticle in all the pride of honest con-
struction, combine to produce mar
velously beautiful picture upon the
eyes and minds Of all who may be so
fortunate as to visit this Economically
realistic city. The company has made
special provisions for the comfort,
health, instruction and amusement of
it's operatives.-New York Graphic.
