THE NAILS.

The nails are structures which ale very
nearly like the epidermis and the hair,
composed of a hard, horny matter ar
ranged in the form of cells. They are, in
deed, Only altered portions of the external
or epidermsl layer of the skin, and rest
upon their nail beds in much the same
manner as the epidermis or scarf-skin lies
on the true skin or derma. We speak Of
the root and the body OF the naIl-the
root being that portion towards the hand
which is situated beneath the akin, the
body all the rest of the nail. The paatrix
is the bed upon which the nail rests and to
which it is firmly adherent. Nails grow
from the root, just as do the hairs, and
only slide over their matrix or bed, so that
an injury to the matrix, such as slivers
beneath the nail, or un-arounds, or even
bad bruise, need not cause disfgured
nail other than of the portion directly in
jured; whereas, injury or disease of its
root will generally cause a distorted and
distigured nail. | have seen bruise at
the root, and in one instance the sting of
bee over the root of the nail, followed by
an irregularly formed nail, which lasted
for a long time. Thus, also, eczema at.
lacking the hand, may affect the ends of
the fingers, or even the sides at the ends,
and the nails remain perfect but when it
is located on the backs of the fingers, and
involves the roots of the nails, the latter
rarely if ever escape distortion and NAL
growth.
Nails seldom fail to give indication of
sickness which has been at all severe, by
an arrest of development which has taken
place in the root at the period of sickness.
Some studies have been made in this di.
rection which may not prove uninteresting
or without value in the present condition,
which we will quote from Mr.. Wilton. a
French physician, DR.. Beau, has observed
that the nails of the feet are four times
slower in their growth than those of the
hands. The latter increase in length one
thirtieth of an inch in one week, while the
nails of the toes require four weeks for the
same amount Of increase. According to
him, the length OF the thumb-nail, includ-
ing the root that is hidden fromssight, is
eight lines-that is, twenty millimeters
consequently, the period occupied in the
growth OF that nail would be twenty
weeks, or five months. In like manner,
the nail of the great toe, measuring in
length nine lines and a half, or twenty
four ml.imeters, and requiring four times
the period Of the thumb nail would con.
sumo uinety.six weeks, or nearly two
years, in it's growth Manufacturer and

SCIENTIFIC NOTES,

During the light of November 18th the
snow in the valley of Storelvdal. in Cen.
trail Norway between 6ls and g. north
lstitudel, was covered with a layer of
black and gray dust of probable volcanic
origin.
The Budding Necs, speaking of the re.
suits of the researches of Schliemsnn, says
that the Greek stsry OF Illion accords with
the discoveries at Hissarhk, and the con.
clusien is inevitable that the Homeric
Troy could have been on no other site.
In sn article on the protection of iron
from rust, Fan NostraRdS AGgazine says
that iron to be buried in damp earth may
be coated with mixture of 100 parts of
resin (colophonyl % part of gutta. percha
and 90 parts OF psrsthne, TO which 20 parts
of magnesis and some mineral oil have
been added.
From large number of experiments
with the antenne of insects, c J. A Porter
is led to conclude (l) that the antenna are
not the organ of any one or of any combi-
nation of what we call the FIVE senses
hearing, seeing, smelling, feeling and tsst-
ing (2) tEat the power of direction does
not lie in the sntenpa, and l3) that the an
tenna are the organ of some sense not
pos sessed by US.
From the observations taken at Colon by
the engineers engaged on the Panama In
teroceanic Canal, De Lssseps finds, accord
ing to his paper read before the Academy
of Sciences, on November 10Th, that the
great earthquake wave caused by the re
cent disturbances at Java would appear to
have made its way across the Indian snd
Atlantic Oceans, round the Cape of Good
Hope, to the east coast Of Central America
in about thirty hours.
This is, perhaps, the most comprehen-
sive, and it certainly is the most character
istic, paragraph in the posthumous paper
by Mr.. Darwin on instinct read before the
Linnean Society, London, on December
9th: g 1t may not be logical, but to my
Imagination it is far more satisfactory, to
look at the young cuckoo ejecting its foster
brothers, ants making slsves, the Larvae Of
the ichneumonida feeding within the live
bodies of their prey, cats playing with
mice, offers and cormorants with living
fish, not ss instincts specially given by
the Creator, but as very small parts of one
general law leading to the advancement Of
all organic bOdies-multiply, vary, let the
strongest live and the weakest die" The
above contains the substance of the whole
memoir, and it will, no doubt, form the
the theory of the great student of nature
whose death was mOurned the other day
by the world of science.

COMPARISON OF TWO coon WELLS.

When we come to take these results,
saws the register, and deduce from them
a general rule by which we may ascertain
the number of gallons discharged by an.
other well having different dimensions, or
even the same dimensions, but differently
situated. we find too many unknown guam
titles to admit OF exactness. Even it the
wells all had the same source Of supply the
volume of water discharged would be at
fected by the elements of velocity and
friction. But as a matter OF fact, the deep
wells have an entirely different source from
the shallow ones. Mr.. Dewey's well is
only medium.sized. 1t has a 3-inch flow
over finch casing, but it only reaches
the first water bearing stratum.
Miss Matte Smiths well, at Upton, has
a 34-inch flow over an S-inch casing, and
penetrates several distinct water bearing
strata. Basing his Calculations on the diff.
ference in sizes of castings and flows, in a
comparison between Miss Smiths well and
Mr.. Dewey's, AIr. Blrch obtained the re-
suits given below:
As the areas OF circles are to each other
as the square of their diameters, we have
the following proportion with which to as
certain the length of time required by the
Smith well to ill Mr. Dewey's tank
3f:+9 6:(S)=2 est minutes.
In other words, Miss Smiths well yields
S, 1928 gallons per hour, or 1876 Oj4 gallons
every twenty-four hours Jas against Dew
ey's of SIS, 1881, or enough to cover an acre
of ground to depth of feet inches
At the very liberal rate of one foot of
water to the acre, it will be seen that a
quarter section may be irrigated all over
once a month if necessary, from an artesian
well like the one OF the lucky Miss Smith

J. NJ. CREIGuToN's WELLS.


J. NJ. Creighton ia a we'll, known Cali.
fornian, being leading man of Tulare
county, and one of the most hospitable,
liberal and progressive. He owns a very
superior piece of property of about 5000
acres; and, up to the time he sunk his
first well, made business OF stock-raising,
in the usual way of rsnchmen of Southern
California. His ranch, or home, Is about
six miles from Tulare, and he has lived
here thirteen years. His lands are partly
what are termed low bottom lands, por
tions of which border on Tulare lake, and
are generally good grazing ranges, whether
the seasons are good or indifferent. He
has three artesian wells-one 800 feet,
inches in size, .! inch flow, in section 6,
township 81, range 81 another of 1876
feet, ! inches in size and 2inch flow, in
section 5, township 81, range "a and a
third of 3l6 feet, 10 inches in size and
pinch flow, in section ), township 81,
range 24 In conversation with Mr. Creigh-
ton, who is a very entertaining gentleman,
he stated that he thought that If the rail
road company could get flowing well at
Upton, few miles away, he also could
get one. He sank his first well in June,
1882, and during the past season he If.
rlgated, with well No. |, IS acres Of
orchard and vineyard aud IS acres of
barley. In July, 1882, Mr.. Creighton
sank his second well, and with its waters
(which are not yet reservoired) irrigat I'd
70 acres of sltalfa, 10 acres of corn, 10 of
sugarcane and OF potatoes, ia all 100
acres. His third well was sunk in March,
1888, and from it's waters he irrigated
nearly 90 acres all the land he could
put into readiness for anything that late in
the season. His largest well is close by
one of the former ones, but does not affect
the flow Of either in the least Mr.. Creigh.
ton says that he can irrigste 300 acres with
these three wells and have plenty of water
to spare, while, with a perfect system of
reservoirs, he could irrigate much more
Alfalfa, he says, can be grown 100 acres to
the well, and this needs more water than
ANYTHING else at least once after each
cutting which was four times the present
season. Mr.. c. says that the past two sea-
sons were as dry as any he has ever seen
in Tuiare county, but that barley and
Egyptian corn only need irrigating once
His first two wells (632 feet in ALI cost
81. O7O, or only about 500 each, which in
cluded hauling the casing six miles from
Tulare. The borers worked just nine days
on each well. The third well cost 500,
hut Mr.. c. got $500 worth of beans from
eight acres OF land near said well in six
months afterwards. Mr.. Creighton, who
does a very large and successful business
in raising stock, believes that large owners
of land should cut up their ranches into
small farms. and he is ready now to sell
twentv.acre or forty.acre plats of land to
good men at liberal rates and on easy terms.
After spending some four or five hours at

after arrived at

boundary of the section, 100 yards away
from two very pretty and level quarter sec.

up in September, 1882. This well cost
81, 060, and took thirty-o one days to com.
plete. The day that the water came up
Miss Smiths father gave man 81, 200 for
the possessory claim to the northeast quar-.
ter of section ., or 81 80 per acre-all of

uniform rates of 81 80 an acre. The 81 900
included all expenses, such as hauling the
casing from the railroad station, board for
four men and feed for horses thirty-one
days. When I visited this well a few
days ago Mr.. Smith and son had eight
horses blowing, they having about con.
structed enough bitches to distribute
the water pretty well over 800 acres.
They expect to try 100 acres in wheat this
year, and plant for permanent use 100
acres of alfalfa. So, while Miss Matte

WHAT DEWEY With Will DO,

John F. Burch, who is largely acquainted
in this county, and who has given good
deal of time in gathering information re-
garding these artesian wells and what
they will do, met at Mr.. Dewey's place
just after he had been taking measure
ments; and he informed me that Mr..
Dewey well of seven inches in size and
three inches in flow would just do won
ders. 1t seems that Mr., Dewey has a
tank surrounding his well of eight feet by
twelve, and five feet deep-or $50 cubic
feet. Experiment showed that the well
would fill this tank in just six minutes.
Now, by multiplying the cubical contents
of the tank (4S0 cubic feet by l. 72S the
number of cubic inches in GALLON we
found that Mr.. Dewey's tank held about
$685. gallons that the flow per minute
would be about So gallons or Sc. 1913 gal
Ions every twenty four hours, or enough,
to further illustrate, to cover one acre with
water to the depth of two feet eight inches
or little over.
