SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

It has been thought that the freezing
Of the sap causes trees to expand in cold
weather. Professor Thomas Meehan
finds, however, that such is not the case,
as the trees contract to considerable ex-
tent.
Granulated milk, according to the
Medical Record, is made by subjecting
milk to heat of 1870 degrees until the
watery part has been evaporated. Then
it is granulated, and sugar is added,
when it looks like corn meal. 1t is less
solid than condensed milk, and with
water closely resembles natural milk.
Professor j. Koinig proposes to purify
town sewage and the waste waters Of
slaughter houses. dye works, breweries,
etc., by allowing them to trickle over a
network of wire, thus exposing large
surface to the oxidizing action Of the
atmosphere. He recommends that the
coarser impurities should first be removed
by means of settling-tanks.
Some of the conclusions of science
would indeed be appalling but for their
practical harmlessness. Thus, geologists
assert that if the contents and the bottom
of the ocean were graded dawn to uni
form level, the whole world would be
covered with water a mile deep, so much
greater is the depression of the ocean bed
than the elevation of the existing land.
The wheels of railway and other cars
are now made of leather in France by a
process of NJ de la Roche. Untanned
buffalo skins are cut into strips, and
these are built into solid discs and
strongly compressed by hydraulic presses,
then buund with two iron rings. A
wheel of this kind is noiseless, resists
shocks, and is not liable to fracture on q
journey.
On the state railways in Sweden, says
the Engineering, there is generally doc
tor for every thirty-two miles of line,
and in this way forty four doctors are
employed by the government. The pri-
vate railways have a similar system. The
medical men examine all applicants for
employment and reject those physically
disqualified, especially by defects of sight
or hearing. They also give their SER
vices to and attend to all injured by ac-
cidents on the line, to regular employees
and their families in sickness, to occa-
sional employees while engaged in service,
and to laborers in the shops who have
paid the same contributions as those en-.
gagged in working the line. No exception
is made in the case of those who suffer
from injury or disease caused by theil
own fault.

A Delicacy Heretofore Despised.

For many years the star fish has been
the great and growing enemy of the oys-
ter. The damage done by star fish in the
oyster plantation of Long Island sound
alone is estimated at hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars. Many thousands of dol
lars have been annually expended in
dredging for these marauders and dump
ing them on the beach to die. After so
much labor has been thereby in a measure
wasted, it has been discovered that the
star fish is itself great luxury, and most
delicious soup is made of it. They are
also fried and served up and garnished
with parsley, and the grisly shells are
being polished and used as ornamental
dishes for serving meats and fish. If the
taste for star fish becomes general, the
oysterman will rather cultivate his ac-
quaintance, and welcome him into the
oyster beds as a benefactor. -Saoannah

Babies in the Audience.

1 point with pride to my record of
seven or eight years on the rostrum. 1
have seen and heard, in my audience,
legions of babies. All good babies, be-
cause all babies are good. Some are i'm
measurably better than others, but there
are no bad babies. Mere and merely
varying degrees of goodness. Some of
the babies the happy ones, cooed and
laughed through the lecture. Some of
them, the precious ones, talked aloud.
Some of them, the sensible ones, slept
through every word of it. And some,
the unhappy ones, who bore upon their
infant minds burdens of care and woe,
fretted and cried and shrieked and hol-
Tered. They have screamed until my
feeble voice was inaudible to myself
And l appeal to any man or woman to
say if ever 1 lost my temper, if ever l
frowned, if ever stopped talking be-
cause the baby screamed. If any man
says 1 ever betrayed one sign of lima
ture or distraction, the same is thief
and liar, and "dassent take it up"
The babies in the audience never bother
me.
l have seen them drive an audience to
madness, however.
But then the audience isn't paid for
listening to the baby, and am. AT least,
comprehensively, am paid for every
thing that goes on during my hour and a
half.-R. j. Burdette.

The Oldest Reigning Dynasty.

Mutsuhito l., one hundred and twenty
third emperor of Japan, is now thirty
three years old, having reigned since the
death of his father, which took place in
1867. He was born at Kioto on the 22d
day of the ninth month of year Kayei,
and was the second son of the late EN-
peror Komei, and the Empress Fujiwara
Asako. When about nine years old he
was nominated prince imperial and heir APP
parent and succeeded to the throne on the
18th of February, 1867, being crowned at
his birthplace on the 18th of October in the
succeeding year. A few days afterward the
new emperor chose the formula ''Meiji, to
designate his reign, and married early the
next year, the accomplished daughter of
noble of the first rank. There is no
other monarch in the world who can
boast 80 unbroken descent from so
ancient a stock as the mikado. The
Chinese, it is true, claim that their his
tory commences some three thousand
years before the birth of Christ-for it
is unnecessary to treat gravely such
records as profess to deal with the fabu-
lous dynasties of heaven, earth and man.
Against the five thousand years or SO
to which Chinese historians lay claim as
the period during which monarchs have
ruled this land, the Japanese place only
two thousand five hundred and forty
four. They date their calendar from the
ascension of Jimmu Tenno, which, accord
ing to the best authorities, took place on
the 18th of April, $50 B. G. Even
this modest claim has been disputed,
certain rationalizing spirits of modern
times maintaining that Jimmu is a
myth. But this skepticism wants
more to support it than the mere
antiquity assigned to him. There is
nothing unlikely in the fact that per-
son said to have reigned in Japan while
Tuilus Hostilius was reigning in Rome
was at least as real as his confrere of the
West. But whatever may be the truth,
be Jimmu myth or a reality, the fact
remains that While China has had two
and-twenty dynasties Japan has had but
one. In China the throne has frequently
been seized by parvenus. Savage chiefs
from Manchuria and Turkestan, slaves
raised to the doubtful honor of court
favorites-even servants ina Buddhist
monastery-have in many in 4tances ousted
the reigning sovereign and assumed the
imperial yellow. But in Japan there has
been one long, unbroken line of mon
archs, the longest, oldest dynasty in the
world, in comparison with which the
Guelphs and Hapsburgs are nouveaux

DroDned Dead ON the Track,

Henry Farris, a Kentucky horse trainer,
seyenty-four years old, says that he is
probably the oldest turfman in America.
In recounting some stories of racing in
the early days, he said to a Louisville
Commercial reporter.
"Forty-four years ago l saw the Gray
Eagle and Wagner race, undoubtedly the
most exciting ever run in the world.
Every State in the union was represented.
There were no railroads or other trans
portation accommodations in those days,
but people fiocked from everywhere, and
the attendance on that day numbered
easily thirteen thousand. Kentucky was
represented by the great Gray Eagle and
Virginia by Wagner, From the first it
was evident that Gray Eagle or Wagner
would win the race. They took the
lead, and as they rounded the quarter
stretch Gray Eagle led the way by an
open length. Both jockeys piled the
whip vigorously. Wagner gradually
closed the gap and landed at the stand
half length ahead of the great Ken
lucky steed. The stakes were $50, 900,
and in addition to this Campbell, the
the owner of Wagner, tod me he won
$13, 900 on side bets. In those days pool
selling, or a regulated system of betting
was unknown.
"The man who wanted to gamble
generally proclaimed from box. An
agent always accompanied the capitalist
to make report of the bet his employer
made. An instance which tended to in
crease the excitement of the day was the
death of a man named Peck He was
Kentuckian, and had bet every cent he
possessed, amounting, believe, to $15,-
900, on Gray Eagle. He stationed him
self near the spot which marked the
finish, and when he saw that he had lost
he dropped dead on the spot. l have
witnessed every event of Importance in
the way of racing since that memorable
day, and have never seen, nor do l ex-
pect to see, a contest so exciting or full
of general interest, A barrel Of money
changed hands on the result"

ONLY como TO THE GATE

Like bell Of blossoms ringing,
Clear and childish, fhrill and sweet,
Floating to the porchs shadow,
With the fainter fall Of feet,
Comes the answer softly backward,
Bidding tender watcher wait
While the baby-queen outruns her,
"only going to the gate"
Through the moonlight, warm and scented
Love to beauty breathes sigh,
Always to depart reluctant,
Loath to speak the words goodbye;
Then the same low echo answers,
Waiting love of older date.
And the maiden whispers softly,
"Only going TO the gate"
oh, these gates along our pathway,
What they bar outside and inl
With the vague outlook beyond thom,
Over waves we have not been.
How they stand before, behind usl
Toll-gates some with price to pay;
Spring gates some, that shut forever;
Cloud-Cate some, that melt away.
So VIC pass them going upward
On our journey one by one,
To the distant shining wicket
Where each traveller goes alone
Where the friendowho journey with US
Strangely falter, stop and wait;
Father, mother, child or lover;
"only going TO the gate"

A Wonderful Swim.

Captain Haultain, thirty years old,
weighing 1876 pounds, was washed over.
board at night in a terrific gale off the
coast of New Zealand. He had on at
the time a heavy overcoat, high sea-
boots, two pairs of trousers and four
shirts. Encountered as he was, he swan
for half an hour in the darkess in the
wake of his ship. No boat was put out
for him. He swan out of his overcoat
and dived out of his boots. In waves
thirty feet high he swan ashore, dis
tance of three miles. His vessel had
also been beached, and some of his crew
found him clinging to the sand with the
surf breaking over him. He had been
three hours in the water. His swim
is considered the most wonderful ON
record.

THE INVENTORS WIFE

It's easy to talk of the patience Of Job.
Humphi Job had nothin' to try him;
Ef he'd been married to 'Biiah Brown, folks
wouldn't have dared comspnigh him.
Trials indeedl Now I'll tell you what-ef you
want to be sick of your life,
Jest come and change places with me spell,
for I'm an inventors wife.
And sech inventionsl I'm never sure, when
take up my coffee-pot,
That 'Bijah hain't ben 'fmprovin' 1t, and ik
mayn't go off like shot.
Why, didn't he make me a cradle once that
would keep itself a-rockin';
And didn't it pitch the baby out, and wasn't
his head bruised shocldn'l
And there was his "Patent Peeler," too-a
wonderful thing, Ill say;
But it he'd one fault-it never stopped till the
apple was peeled away.
AS for locks, AMI clocks, and mowln' ms
chimes and reapers, and all sech trash,
Why, iBijah's invented heaps Of 'em, but they
don't bring in no cash.
Lawl that don't worry him-not at all; he's
the aggravatinest man
He'll set in his little workshop there, and
whistle and think and plan,
Inventin' a Jew's-harp to go by steam, or
new-fangled powder horn,
While the children's goin' barefoot to school,
and the weeds is chokin' our corn.
When Bijahand me KEEP company he warnt
like this, you know;
Our folks all thought he was dreadful smart
but that was years ago.
He was handsome as any pictur then, and he
had such glib, bright way
1 never thought that time would come
when I'd rue my weddin' day;
But when I've been forced to chop the wood,
and tend to the farm beside,
And look at 'Bijah a-settin there, I've jest
drop ed down and cried.
We lost the hull of our turnip crop while he
was inventin' gun.
But counted it one of my marcies when 1t

So he turned it into burglar alarm" 1t

'Twould scare an honest man out of his wits,
ef he sotit off at night.
Sometimes 1 wonder ef 'Bijah's crazy, he
does sech curious things.
Hev told you about his bedstead yit' Twas
full of wheels and springs;
1t he'd akey to wind it up, and clock face at

ALI YOU did was to turn them hands, and at
any hour you said,
That bed got up and shook itself, and bounced
you on the floor,
And then shet up, jest like box, 80 you

Wa'al, 'Bijah he fixed it all complete, and he
sot it at haf-past five,
But he hadn't moren got into it when-dear

And there was that bedstead, with 'Bijah in

Then l worked that hull long night
A-trying to open the pasky thing. At last

he might be dyin';
So / took a crowbar and smashed it in
There was Bijah, peacefully lyin',
Inventin a way to git out agin. That was
all very well to say,
But Idon't b'lieve he'd have found it out if
I'd left him in all day.
Now, sence I've told you my story, do you
