Inc stadI Theatre Rnrned.

VIENNA May lG.-The Stadt Theatre was
totally destroyed by fire this evening, but no
lives were lost The performance was to have
begun at O'Clock, but the flames were dis.
covered two hours earlier in the auditorium.
The whole city was filled with burning
smell, and thick black smoke darkened the
heavens. Al the roof fell in with crash
and the flames with a loud roar, ascended
from the auditorium The conhagration first
broke out in the upper gallery. Ii seems that
the fire is the work Of an incendiary.

AGRICULTURAL MATTERS.
Preparalion of Poultry Mannre.


Farm Jouraal
We have many inquiries from sub
scribers asking how to prepare and apply
poultry droppipgs for use ss q fertiliser.
One good plan is to cover the dropp'ngs
every day or two with coal ashes or dry
earth. This mixture msy be worked
over in the house but It ia better to re
move it frequently and store in barrels or
boxes and work II over lew times before
IL is needed in the spring, when It. will be
IN proper condition for application to
crops.
Plaster ia recommended by some as an
absorbent for use in poultry houses. Its
use is doubtless beneficial TO the health
of the fowls, especially in the summer,
but 1t simply holds the elements Of the
manure inert.
II. Stewart gives in the Country Gentle
man his method which we commend tJ
cur readers. Bvery week the droppings
are scraped up from the floor and put inso
barrels. The floor ia then well covered
with earth and sir-slsked lime ia then
busted over this until it is quite white,
oi this the droppings fall, and when
they are gathered they are soraped up
with the lime and the earth and put into
barrels. The barrels are kept out OF
doors, but covered to prevent exposure to
rain. In three months the contents Of
the barrel become a soft brown powder
having but little appearance OF the ma
nure left. This he regards as worth by
the ton seven times IS much as stsbl,
manure aud ons-fourth as much as Peru
vian gusno. The lime in this mixtur,
decomposes the droppings and the eartt
absorbs any ammonia that may be formed
In the compost. This fertilizer may b,
dropped in the hill when using it OF
corn, potatoes, melons or any garden o.
field crop, and is very quick in Its q .tion
Unlsaohed wood ashes If mixed with
poultry droppings for use on corn, as
correspondent suggests, should be com
posten with earth and allowed to stan,
for some time to decompose, after tn
manner described by Mr.. Stewart. II DO
thus deoomposed We should prefer t
broadcast the mixture and harrow it il
before planting the corn.

JUDGE DBUMNoND ON LAWYERS
Cosrs.-Judge Drummond, Of Minnesota,
having retired frcm the bench, the St.
Paul Pioneer Press relates some incidents
of his judicial career. Among them the
Press gives the following: in law suit
over the Adams estate in Milwaukee one
firm of lawyers put in bill for $4,000,
another lawyer bill for 5000, and still
aaother bill for an equal sum. The estate
amounted to bat 49,, 900 and the parties
in interest were orphan children. Drum
mond went over the charges, which as
Judge he must audit As he went from
item to item his anger increased. 1t is
said by those who were present that no set
Of Gnen ever received such Jovelike cas-
figation. "Gentlemen," he said ..You
consider yourselves good lawyers. /. How
much more are your services worth to
your clients than mine to the people
You have charged $4,000 for sixty days
service. Could you no be content each of
you to take my pro rata for the same time?
These charges are infamous. They are
such as men who arescoundrels and thieves
at heart would make. This charge of $751;
600 Is cut down to 81 500, those of So
900 each to $500. Repeat such piece
Il rapine in this court and will disbar

Some Curiosities.

Gold-beaters, by hammering can reduce
gold leaves so thin that 282, 900 must be
laid upon each other to produce the thick
ness of an inch, yet each leaf is so perfect
and free from holes that one of them laid
on any surface, as in gliding, gives the ap-
pearance of solid gold. They are so thin
that if formed into book 1900 would
only occupy the space of a single leaf Of
of common paper; and an octave volume OF
an inch thick would have as many pages
as the books of well stocked library of
1900 volumes, with 400 pages in each.
Still thinner than this is the coating of
gold upon the silver wire of what is called
gold lace, and we are not sure that such
coating is not of only one atom thick.
Platinum and silver can be drawn into
wire much finer than human hair. A
grain of blue vitrOl or carmine will tinge
gallon of water so that in every drop the
color may be perceived. A grain of musk
will scent room for twenty years, and
will at the end of that period have lost
little of its weight. The carrion crow
smells its food many miles off. A burn
ing taper uncovered for single instant,
during which it does not loose one thou
sandth part of IA grain, would fill with light
a sphere four miles in diameter, so as to be
visible in every part Of it. The thread Of
the silk-worm is so small that many of
them are twisted together to form our
finest sewing thread; but that of the spider
is smaller still, for two drachms of it by
weight would reach from London to Edin-
burgh, or 400 miles. In the milt of cod
fish or in water in which vegetables have
been infused, the microscope discovers an.
imalcules of which many thousands to-
gether do not equal in bulk a grain of
sand; and yet nature, with singular prod
igality, has supplied many of these with
organs as complete as those Of the whale
or the elephant, and their bodies consist of
the same substance, or ultimate atoms, as
that of a man himself In single pound
of such matter there are more living crea-
ures than of human beings on the face of
the globe

The introduction of lightning Rods:

As matter of course, the new doctrine
of franklin and his allies was not received
without considerable opposition. A sharp
shock of an earthquake having been ex.
perienced in Massachusetts in 1855, this
was forthwith attributed to the evil inhu.
ences of Franklin's lightning-rods. A
Boston clergyman preached against them
in 1870 as ''impious contrivances to pre-
vent the execution of the wrath of heaven.
Even as late as 1926, an engineer in the
employment of the British government re-
commended that all lightning-rods should
be removed from public buildings as dan
gerous expedients, and in 1888 the gov
ernor-general and council of the East Indie
company ordered that all lightning-rods
should be removed from public buildings,
arsenals and powder-magazines throughout
India, and only became reconciled to their
restoration after large magazine and corn
ing-house, not furnished with conductor,
had been blown up during storm.
Franklin was so much in earnesl in re-
ference to his invention that he sent a
friend at his own charge through the prin-
cipal towns of the New England colonies
to make known the powers and virtues of
the lightning-rod. In the "Poor Richard"
for 1853, kind of almanac or manual
which he was at that time publishing, he
gave specific instructions for the election
of his rods. The second conductor which
he himself constructed was placed upon
the house of Mr.. West, wealthy mer
chant of Philadelphia. A few months
after this had been erected storm burst
over the town, and a fash of lightning was
seen to strike the point of the conductor,
and to spread itself out as sheet of fame
at its base. 1t was afterward found that
about two inches and a half of the
brass point had been dissipated into the
air, and that Immediately beneath the
metal was melted into the form of an irreg
ular blunt cap. The house, nevertheless,
was quite uninjured. The sheet of fame
seen at the base of the conductor Franklin
correctly ascribed to the ground having
been a sufficiently capacious earth contact
under those circumstances. He neverthe
less shrewdly, and quite justifably, as
sumed that in this case nature had itself
pronounced an unmistakable verdict in IA
vor of his invention.-PopuLar Science
Monthly.
