SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

According to DIR. QuesneViile, water
has been kept in a potable condition
for more than three years by adding to
it half grain of salicylic acid. This
treatment is especially recommended
for water carried by expeditions to
warm climates.
Human languages y says Mems, 4us
lien Vinzon, "appear to have grown
like trees in wood, which in the first
stage are as numerous as possible but
are soon reduced to few individuals,
of which very small number attain
their full term of life. Numerous as
were at first the local manifestations
of human beings, the primordial Ian
guages were as innumerable. :
The locality of one original home of
| the potato is settled by Mr.. John G.
Lemmon's discovery last season of
this plant en- the mountains ofArizona.
One variety was found near the sum-
nit of peak 10000 feet high. From
the wild plants Mr.. Lennon obtained
some seeds, With several quarts of
small tubers, and these will be distri-
buted among careful experimenters for
cultivation. 1t is hoped that the re-
suit will ha 2 new and vigorous race of
potatoes to take the place of the de-
generated varieties now grown.
An enormous quantity of water
passes through the roots ofplants. An
English experimenter has ascertained
that for every pound ofmineral matter
assimilated by plant an average of
1900 pounds of water is absorbed. At
the French Agricultural observatory
of Montsouris it was found that, in
rich soil, 727 pounds of water passed

Prof. Leidy has related the case of
the sudden death of q COW, which was
MIXED one night when it appeared
perfectly well) and died the next morn
ing. A number of deaths under like
circumstances having previously taken
place in the sameherd, an examination
ofthis cow was made, when the spleen
was found to be gorged with blood
teeming with the organisms known as
Bacilli anthracis, which are regarded
as the cause of splenic fever. This
observation has led Q correspondent of |
the London Lancet to suggest that |
parts of cattle which had been killed |
while suffering from this aisease may
sometimes be used for oleomargarine,
and as sufficient heat is not employed
In the manufacture of that substance
10 kill the bacilli, consumers of oleo-
must run some risk of con-
sagion.

Questions of Importance relative to
the bonds of county treasurers and
which have been considerably discus
sed throughout the state were decided
Friday by Attorney General Hahn in
answer to letter of inquiry from the
county attorney of Pine county. The
attorney general says that it is the
duty of the county commissioners to
fix the amount of the bonds to be given
and so long as they act in good faith
the amount of the bond is left to their
discretion. The amount having been
fixed by them, the bond must be APP
proved or disapproved. They cannot
withhold approval from the original
bend because the amour tbs notsuffi-
cient, provided it is for the amount
fixed by them prior to its execution.
When the sureties or penalty are
deemed insufficient in the original
bond they may require the treasurer
to give new bond and his failure to
do so, would create vacancy in the
office. So long as the commissioners
act in good faith the amount of bonds
which they may require from county
treasurer is unlimited

The foregoing report, however, is
not complete. 1t seems that the pub
lie are not aware of the fact that they
are liable to fine of twenty dollars
for neglecting or refusing to report any
births or deaths in their respective
households within thirty days from
the occurrence of such births or deaths.
For public information we quote from
the law the following section,
SEB. 5. Parents shall give notice to
the clerk of their city or town of the
births and deaths of their children !;
every householder shall give like no.
tice of every birth and death happen
ing in his house; the eldest person
next of kin shall give such notice of
the death of his kindred; the keeper
or other proper officer of every work
house, poorhouse, reform school, Jail,
prison, hospital, asylum or other pub
lie or charitable institution, shall give
like notice of every birth and death
happening among the persons under
his charge. Whoever neglects or re-
fuses to give snch notice for the period
of thirty days after the occurrence of
such birth or death, shall forfeit a sum
not exceeding twenty dollars, to be
collected as other fines are eolieeted
by law.

woodcock Telegraphy.

On a number of occasions,
writes Maurice Thompson, I have
closely observed the Woodcock's
system Of telegraphy. The birds
mandibles are furnished with ex-
tremely sensitive nerves. so ar
ranged that when the point of the
bill rests upon the ground the
slightest sounds are conveyed to
its brain. Standing upon the
water saturated earth of spouty
bog, our bird utters faint, keen
cry, scarcely audible at two rods
distance, then Immediately let's
fall his head till the top OF his
bill touches the ground, and then
listens aitentively. III his mate
hears him she repl es. puts her
bill on the ground and listens in
turn. SO the love messages go
back and forth as long as the
birds have anything to say. This
sort of thing usually happens in
the soft twilights from May to the
middle of August, though occa.

stockholders File Their Answer toSthe
Receivers Assessment Suits

In the suits (about 90O) now pending in the
United States Circuit Court. brought by the
receiver OF the Pacific National Bank, Linus
NJ Price, against the stockholders Of the bank
at the time of its failure to recover the 100 per
cent. assessment, levied by Comptroller Knox,
the defendants, through their counsel, Ives
and johnson, have fled their answers. The
defendants make general denial and admit
the fact of being stockholders of the bank at
the time of the suspension. And the defend
ants, further answering, deny that any such
shares or certificates of stock as were issued 20
nr held by them, il any such there were,
were ever legally or properly issued, or were
ever valid, or existing shares or certificates OF
stock: And they say that IL such shares or
certificates OF stock, II any there were issued to
them or held by them, were Illegally issued In
violation of the law, and cannot therefore form
the basis Of any liability to assessment or other
personal liability, as claimed by said plaintiff.
And further answering, the defendants say,
that the assessment upon said stock or shsTcs
SGT forth in the plaintiffs declaration, IL apy
such was ever made, was an unlawful and
void assessment, and that no action lies to re-
cover the same by said plaintiff. The defend
ants also say that, in the month Of January,
1867, In pursuance oi note received from
the comptroller of the currency. an assessment
OF 100 per cent. was duly made upon the stock
holders to repair the capital stock OF the bank,
aud paid, and that on May 81, 1882, 10 enforce
any unpaid assessment, the shares Of stock
were sold at public auction, which determined
the liability in such stock so sold; that in the
month Of September, 1881, an attempt was
made by the directors of said bank TO increase
IT'S capital stock to 81 100000, oy issuing 5000
shares Of new stock; that said attempt was
never carried out or perfected, bub that GER
AIN other so-called stock wss fraudulently,
irregularly and illegally issued, and that the
defendants became the holders OF said new
af01k hV frau6. haliavin0 the hava
been lawfully issued, and that at the time Of
such issue the bank was solvent. Declarations
in set-off of money due the stockholders from
the bank are also filed in some of the cases.
