as the season for housing corn IS at
hand, we publish for the benefit OF our
farmers the following for the purpose OF
exceeding weevils and rats. We know
nothing OF its merits beyond what is

tiiat the antedote grows around every

IA correspondent of the Durant News
says that Jerusalem Oak weed is sure
preyentative of weevils in corn Gather
fhe weed in its green State, stem
Branches and leaves together and mix
With the corn as thrown in the crib in
the proportion Of three or four bushels
ii Weeds to every hundred bushels OF
S,orn. He says it will not only prevent
sgeeyils propagating in the corn but will
sIlso Kill any that may be in It when
,66thered. He also adds that rats and
nice cannot live in it and that the corn
win be as nice in July as when put in
The crib. This is y simple and cheap
remedy for great evil with which farm
|ers have to contend and we hope some
81 our readers will try it and let US know
the result.

CONFEDERATION PREFERABLE.

COUNSEL DE WITS PLAN.
TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
SIR: The proposal to unite the cities OF New orK
and Brooklyn under one government has Deen ois-
cussed to some extent for years past, and the COM
plction of the Bridge has gwen new impulse 10
the discussion plan proposed several years
ago by William c. De Witt. esq, who was then Cor
poration Counsel of Brooklyn. His plan was for
confederation rather than consolidation OF the
two cities on a plan somewhat similar TO that
of London and Paris. Under this plan,
while each city would retain the control
and management of its own water works, streets,
parks and other public places it would confer upon
the Mayor and ministerial officers complete jursdlc-
ton over the whole municipality; it would place
under one head the fire, police. and health depart
ments. In the language of Mr. De Witt, " it would
combine the advantages of home rule with those OF
concentrated administrative powers and imperial
proportions"
The new city should be known as "New-York,"
and should embrace within its limits the whole OF
Kings County and so much of Queens as is embraced
in Long Island City.
plan of this nature is not open to the objections
urged against q consolidation proper, while the ad-
vantage. to both cities obvious. Very respect

PROGRESS ON THE CONGO.

According TO Nature, news from Mr.. Stanley
dating down to the middle of December has
been lust received at Brussels. Stanley had
reached the African coast, and alter having
augmented his party by 223 natives from Lan-
zibar under the leadership of the Belgian tray-
eller, NJ. de Gambler, had started for Nivl, the
first station established by the International
African Society. At Vivi preparations were be-
ing made for the construction OF q railway line
to the. landing place on the river, but the work
proceeded slowly, owing to the total absence OF
teasts OF burden. Up TO now seven stations
nave been established-Vivi, Isanghila, Many
Anglia, Lutete, Stanley Poo, lbaka Nkoutou AZ
BolobO the latter is distant about 700 miles
from the mouth of the Congo, and is the last
one established. OF the four small steamers
taken to Africa three had been launched, and
the fourth was being transported from Many
anglia to Leopoldsgille. The seven stations
already seem to become centres OF civilization,
and exercise a beneficial influence upon the sur
rounding native tribes. Horned cattle had been
introduced at Vivl, and at Leopoldsville agri-
cultural work had begun, cabbage and lettuce
thriving exceedingly in that locality. At Bo-
lobo fertile and well-pOpulated country was
reached which extends far beyond the limits OF
De Brazza's journey. The progress of the
latter was contemplated with equanimity,
yet fears we're entertained regarding the
claims of the Portuguese Government, and
also concerning the freedom OF way and
commerce.

WHY THERE ARE NO WATERWAYS IN
IRELAND.

Tn an interesting article on the vole or water
rat, by Mr.. Grant Allen, in the English
Country Gentleman, tho writer discusses
the question why certain animals, such as
snakes, vipers, water-rats, ETC.. are not
found IN Ireland. For the real solution OF
the problem, he says. we, must go PACK
To the time when England, Ireland and the Con,
tnent were united by 4 broad belt OF land
across the beds of the English Channel, st.
Georges Channel and the North Sea: 1t Is now
an ascertained fact that in the very latest geo
logical period, known as the glacial epoch, the
whole surface of the British Islands Except an
insig nificant strip of the south COAST was GOV
cred from end to end with a deep coating OF
glaciers like that which now envelops all polar
lands, and while this condition of things pre-
vailed there were, OF course, no animals OF any
sort i'm all Britain, or, at any rate, none out
few Arctic types. After the ice melted, how
ever, the existing British fauna, such as 1t 49,
be gan to occupy the land, and the TACT that IL
did 50 is one proof, though by no means the
only proof that a communication with me
Continent then existed across the bed OF the
North Sea. Now the animals only pushed their
way very slowly into the newly cleared region
as the ice melted away, and the consequence Is
that only some forty kinds OF mammals out oil
the whole European fauna had penetrated as
far as ENGLAND before the gradual submergence
of the lOwlaDd belt separated 1t from the Con-
tinept by forming the inclOsng arms OF the sea.
But Ireland lies even further west than Eng
land, and there il reason TO believe tnat St.
Georges Channel nau all oeeh u0oucu eouo
time before the waves of the Atlantic broke
down the last link between Dover ana Calals
Accordingly, Ireland never l,at her faiI share
of land animals at all, for though the wolf and
fox and the Irish hare and many other quickly
migrating creatures had time to cross the inter,
vening belt before the submeraence, several
smaller or slower creatures, including the
yipers did not get over the ground fast enough
and we're thus shut out forever from the Isle
of Saints. Among them were the whole race OF
voes, and that is the reason why Ireland to this
day has no water-rats.

pRoDUCING INTENSE COLD.

Professor Caillet, the well-known French
chemist, who has obtained a worldwide celeb-
rity in liquefying gases, has shown by recent
experiments that ethy lene is liquefed under
the pressure Of from 45 to 60 atmOsrheres.
These properties induced him to see whether
lquefied ethylene would not give more intense
cold than that which corresponds to the ebulli-
ton OF protoxde of nitrogen. by slightly
modifying the apparatus Which lie used for
lauefying oxygen he Succeeded in producing
a more intense cold than he had previously re-
allied. Ethylene, moreover, possesses the
property of remaining liquid and transparent
under temperatures ut which nitrogen. pro-
toxide and carbonic acid become solid and
opaque. He hopes to obtain still greater degrees
of cold by c0ndensing gases which are more
difficult to liquefy than othylene.

JNCONRTSTIBLE PAPER.

Mr.. G. Meyer, at recent meeting of the
Societe d Encouragement exhibited a new paste
combination designed for the manufacture of
incombustible cardboard or paper of all sorts
and shades. Asbestos was the principal thing
employed in Its manufacture. He presented
specimens of writing printing, engraving, etc,
made with his inks of different colOrs, and also
showed n water color drawing that had been
submitted to the fiery ordeal of the potters
furnace The painting had preserved all its
brlliancy and the paper all its flcxihility. A
lithOgraph, fifteen by sixteen centimeters, was
placed between two layers of glass ia state
of fusion. On removal the paper was found to
have completely resisted the action of the heat,
and the engraving tO have preserved all its
sharpness.
