The vapor of tobacco juice has been
tested in France. with great success, as
an insect destroyer in lighthouses. In
stead of burning or smoking the tobac-
co, it is soaked or boiled, the juice is
then placed over a chatting dish, a fire
or the flame of an ordinary lamp, and
deposited in the greenhouse or consery-
atory. Delicate plants which are very
sensitive to smoke are not injured by

atmosphere. while it etfectually dis
poses Of thrips, scales, insects and slugs.

Gen. Gordon's Forthcoming theolog-
ical work does not, it is said, PROFOUND
any new views. The writer reminds us
of the time Of the Puritans, when the
love of parallelism between the Old and
New Testaments was at its height when
the soldiers of Cromwell prayed aloud
to be delivered from the old Adam. For
every incident connected with the fall
of man, Gen. Gordon traces in the New
Testament not onlya counter balancing
remedy to enable the fallen to recover
the lost ground, but an identity of the
means of recovery with the cause of the
original transgression. Thus he recog-
nizes in the act of partaking of the sacra-
mental elements the meet and fitting
remedy against sin introduced into the
world by the act of eating the fruit of
the tree Of life.
