Fertilisers.

There Is uncaslness In tho market for
fertilizers on account of the uncertain ty
regarding future supplies of Peruvian gu
ano. The quantity remaining in tho
nitrate bt ds Is still very large, but the
difficulty Of removing and loading it on
ship continually increases, dhd al
ready in some large deposits this cost ex-
cecds the value of the material. Natur-
ally the deposits most easy Of access are
first worked and the clalms arc abandoned
whenever the expense passes the profitable
point. An investigation was recently un-
dertaken by the Chilian minister of finance,
tho representative of foreign holders Of
Peruvian bonds and the attorney of the
syndicate which recently purchased one
million tons of Peruvian guano, with q
view TO ascertaining just how much can DO
shipped and what the prospect tor tho
future Is. Chill will strip the deposits as
rapidly as possible and no matter what tho
outcome of the protracted peace negotia :
tions will take care to absorb everything
of value in the territory sho now claims as
the prize Of her conquest. 1t Is said that
the Peruvian Guano company of London
has disposed OF its entire stock In Europe
at a round profit.

Training Gcraniums.

There is no other plant 80 easily grown
or trained into good form, moro pleasing
for its brilliant bloom, or so free from IN
scots as the scarlet geranun. When
grown in the form of tree and well
pinched back to mass the bloom, and we'll
cared for, this plant will easily bear q
hundred clusters of its bright scarlet flow
ers vt one time, making brilliant show
that few other plants can rival. TO pro-
cure suoh plant we may proceed as fol-
lows: Take cutting as straight and long
as possible from another plant; one toot
long Is best, and root it IN seven inch
pot. When the buds begin to start, rub
of all but the top one, and let this grow
foot or so; then leave eome side branches
to grow TO strengthen the main stem, but
pinch off all tho blossoms, and keep the
thus for q whole season. Then cut back
inches and remove the side branches. New
side shoots will start and all these must he
rubbed Oft except the top ones; Of which
several may be left to grow in a proper dl.
rection to make well balanced little tree.
1t Is now permitted to bloom and rest
the next summer; after which 1t is again
cut back, and treated as before. Each
year little moro old wood may be left,
until In five Or six years 1t may be as many
feet high, and lnay need fifteen inch pot,
having dozen main branches, and scores
of blooming shoots. The Scarlet King Is
the best variety 10 be grown In this way;
and while 1T Is thing of beauty each year
1T yearly grows better and better, and pays
we'll for the waiting and working.

Natures Protective Colors.

Nature, like careful mother, equips
her children rs best she can for the battle
of life. She gives TO animals coors that,
by resembling their surroundings, protect
them against their enemies. Tho brown
or gray color of the wild rabbit blends
will its surroundings and hides il from
hostile eyes. The mottled feathers of the
quail and partridge closely resemble the
fallen leaves, among which the young
birds CONCEAL themselves. Animals that
roam at night, as do the rats and mice,
bats and moles, arc usually of neutral
tln:, such as escapes notice in the dusk.
The helpless tree-toad takes the color of
the tree on which 1t lives, and his bltteresL
enemy has hard work to find him. The
animals ami birds Of the hot desert are
tawny and gaudy In hue. 80 the lion
conceals himself by crouching in the sand,
and thence springs upon his transporting
prey. The tiger stalks among the jungles
of india. The vertical brown lines which
aiorn his tawny skin enable hlm to lurk
unseen among the bamboo stems. The
spotted skin of the Jaguar initiates the
changing spots of light and shade among
the leaves, and thus conceals him in his
lair. The puma has neither bars nor spots
waits for its prey by crouching along the
limb Of tree, where its dull color escapes
notice.
White animals and white birds are, as
a rule, dwellers in Arctic regons Tho
white suit of the polar bear indicates at
once its distant home amid the SHOWS and
snow.helds OF the north. Some animals,
like the Arctic foxes ama Alpine haius,
wear their white livery only in winter, and
appear IN sum .ner clad III brown or gray.
In the thick tropical forests, whose bright
foliage is never touched by frost, live the
brllnant green parrots and paroqucts that
seem so ont of place here. Nature aleo
seems to take pains in providing for her
weak and helpless creaturcs. The upper
surface OF the wings Of some Of our com.
mon butterflies IS of bright color, but the
lower surface ls dusky. When they light
on a tree or wall, and close their wings,
the color of which closely resembles the
surrounding surface, the insect collector
needs sharp eyes 10 find them. Moths
that fly by night are gray, or neutral. in
tint. Some tropical butterflies resemble
withercd leaves, anu even the marks on
their wings appear like the veins of leaf.
Oar grasshoppers take the color of the
grass. Beetles frcqucnting mossy banks
arc green in color. Beetles that live on
the bark of trees are rough like bark and
frequently resemble lichcns. Some de-
fenseless insects arc protected by their
resemblance to insects able to defend
themselves, Some flies, which possess no
means OF defense, resemble wasps and
hornets. In hese and in many other
ways nature watches over her children so
that none, from the least to the greatest,
shall lack protection.

Covering Boilers with SILK.

1t Is we'll known that silk is al excellent
nonconductor OF heat, and some recent
experiments IN Germany would seem TO
indicate that it might pay to cncase boilers
IN thls costly material.
In one trial three boilers of the same size
and make were ranged III order. one cov-
cred with the ordinary felt, another with a
coating Of silk only fivc-eighths the thick
ness Of the felt, while the third was left
altogether uncovered. They were all filled
with water having a temperature Of 100
degrees, Centigrade, and examined at in.
tcryals. After the lapse OF three hours it
was found that tho unprotected boiler had
lost twelve degrees OF heat, and the other
two each two degrees. After a further
lapse Of thirty three hours, the fcIt-covcrcd
boiler had lost thirteen and half degrees,
and that covered with silk only fourteen,
80 that there was no appreclaDle ference
between the pr tectlvc powers of tho silk
and those of casing OF felt nearly twice
It's thickness.
With regard to the cost Of the material,
1t IL SAID that in all silk manufactures
there are waste scraps which 1t would be
difficult or impossible 10 utilize in the
trade. These can, 1t Is asserted, be made
up into bands and rolls, costing compara-
lively little, and sold at profit to the
makers and users of boilers.
As to the lasting and wearing powers o.
silk as compared with felt nothing IS said,
and there has not, perhaps, been time to
apply an adequate test: but 1t Is al the least
possible that In this respect tho finer sub
stance may possess great advantages over
tho coarscr and cheaper.
