FORMATION OF COMETS.
Gigantic Fire Balls From Solar vOIca


EOIu OOlaE NOACa-
noes.
Prof. Young, of Princeton, n. j., (then
of Dartmouth, n. H., says Prof. Proctor
in the american ReUieto, was the first, in
1872, to obtain evidence of the actual ejec-
ton Of matter from the suns interior
with velOcities sufficing to carry such
matter forever away from him; but the
evidence was decisive, and since then
kindred observations have been frequent
" made. What Young saw, indeed, was
apparently the ascent of tlaments OF by
drOgen, at an average rate Of nearly 200
miles per second; butt was easy to see that
the irregular streaks Of hydrogen were not
themselves the elected matter. If a thin
gas like hydrogen could rush through the
region Immediately above the SUMS YIsi-
bic surface at the rate of 200 miles an
hOur-which l reject as incredible-the
shape of such hydrogen missiles would be
such as to indicate very clearly the resist
ance they were encountering. They would
be pear-shaped, the rounded part Of the
pear IN front, like fire-balls in our air. But
these were irregular streaks, like the lu-
minous tracks of meteOrs, and such doubt
less they were. A. flight of masses of con-
siderable density must have been shot
out on that occasion, and on other Occa-
siOns when similar phenomena have been
observed, and, rushing through the n.y.
drogen in the SUMS neighborhOOd, caused
the gas to glow along their track, just as
fire-balls in our air leave behind them
long. luminous trails. The rate at which
these missiles advanced could be inferred
from the rate at which the luminous trails
followed them. Calculation, in which
the suns retarding action was taken duly
into account, showed that the matter thus
expelled from the sun left his surface at
the rate Of not less, probably, than 800
miles per second. The elected matter
left the sun, then, never to return, and in
the form Of precisely such flight of me-
teoric missiles as microscopic and chemi-
cal researches had shown to be travelling
through the interstellar spaces.
Handkerchiefs with colOred hemstitched
borders are very fashionable.

This is the favorite time of the year with
many to set out trees. 1t would seem that
no tree could fail to grow, set out in the
rain and watered so abundantly every
day. So far as our experience goes, there
is no better time for transplanting; but
on this subject, as on every other concern
ing orange trees, there is great diversity
of opinion. Some persons think trees set
out in the summer will be sure to have
the ''die back" and these will let the
whole rainy season pass and wait for De-
eember, January and February, to plant
their trees. Others think there is no
choice of seasons; that any time is good,
so that the tree is carefully taken up and
the small, fbrous roots are not suffered to
dry in the heat. 1t is true that almost
everything depends on this first work.
Many spend great labor on planting trees
that have already been fatally injured, by
having these little roots exposed to air
and sun; for it needs but very short
time of such exposure to kill tree

Transplanting.

The soil into which plants-aEe to be
transplanted should be freshly prepared
and not wet. but In gOodwOrking e0ndi-
tion. All tender plants, such as, toRatoes,
peppers, egg plant, etc., should remain in
the beds until all danger from frost and
cold winds is past. Tomatoes sheuld be
planted Aka feet. To secure the earliest
tomatoes select soil not Tery rich, run
burrows with the pillow and in each hill put
shovel full Of well-rOtted Ene manure.
Saturate the plant bed whitewater and let
il settle. Take up the plants with all the
soil that viii adhere to the roots and place
in any vessel in which they can eOnve-
niently be carried TO the field. As the
plants are put in place, draw carefully
about the roots fresh soil and press it down
well with the feet. Plants should stand
but little deeper than in the bed. Fill
up all burrows and leave surface level. If
the soil is light and dry, as is should be, in
cultivating always keep the surface level.
Egg plant and pepper should be similarly
treated, but should be planted three feet
by two.
In transplanting sweet potatoes, if the
soil is deep, rich and loose, pillow shallow,
make hills or ridges not more than twelve
inches high, and If when hOeing them the
weather is dry enlarge them. When the
soil is ready put into a bucket enough
water to cover the roots Of plants. Take
out the plants without taking up the tu-
bers; take hold close to the ground and
pull away from the soil sideWise. Place
plants in bucket, from which drop few
at time upon the hills ;-then, holding
plant in left hand, make with the three
long fingers of the right hand place for
the plant the full length Of the fingers;
insert the plant carefully, letting it reach
the bottom of the excavation : then draw
IL up until the leaves are above the sur
face; then push the soil inward toward
the plant and press down firmly. Plants
treated thus will seldom fail to grow. To
protect tender plants against cut-worms,
take stiff wrapping paper, cut ~ inch
square, and wrap around the stem of the
plant and press the soil against it to hold
1t in place.-NQruLdnd Fdraaer.

Wolf-Teeth I'M Horses.

The general expression among prOmi-
nent veterinary surgeons is that the SUI
pernumerary teeth known as ''wolf-teeth"
have no effect upon the eyes of the horse.
l have noticed numerous answers to in
quiries in the various turf and medical
journals as above. Now if all the most
distinguished veterinarians in the world
were to reiterate their belief as above, l
should continue to investigate the mouth
of all my horses from Yearlings up for
these supernumerary teeth and remove
them. In almost every instance where |
have noticed indications of weak eyes,
watery discharges, etc., have upon eX-
animation found one or two wolf-teeth.
These removed, the eyes have cleared with
with no subsequent treatment. Last fall
purchased a number of young horses.
Among them l noticed three with watery
discharges from their eyes. Calling the
man in charge l called his attention to the
colts, had them caught and examined
every one of them. The yearlings had
two wolf-teeth, which were removed. The
eyes all improved and in short time were
as perfect as any. For years l have prac-
ticed the removal of teeth, and invariably
with the best results; so / say without
hesitation to all breeders; examine your
stock, old and young, and when you find
the useless teeth remove them. Certainly
il can do no harm,

A Maine skipper,s Ghost STORY.
Portland tMe.l Press.

LOFGtQgtO
shipmaster, told the following ghost story
to citizen. He said that one night on
the voyage from which he had just re-
turned, while lying off the Battery, at
New York, waiting for the crew to come
on board, he heard some one on the top of
the house calling "James T, James
T-.v Now this was not only the
Captains name, but also that of his SaR,
who was his mate on this voyage.
the Captain, mate, and steward WeTv
board, and on hearing the voice they all
went on deck, but saw no one. The
stewards dog, which slept in front of the
cabin door, lay quiet on his rug. The
next day the bark sailed foIsRio Janeiro,
and several strange occurrences took
place on the passage. One morning his
son, the mate, said to him: captain, the
ship is haunted, turned out on my watch
at O'Clock in the morning, and as l went
out of the cabin door / saw some one in
white, but before I could distinguish
whether it was male or female it disap-
peared around the mainmast. The steward
said he saw it also and was frightened"
Some days alter this the steward called
the Captain and told him the mate had
not yet come on deck. The Captain went
to the mates stateroOm, and on opening
the door saw the mate apparently laugh
ing al MIN, DuJ on baklng nOlu OF nlm ne
found he was dead. From his distorted
cOuntenance it appeared that he had been
frightened to death. Several other
strange occurrences happened on board,
and on arriving at Rio the steward left
the vessel on account of feeling that she
was haunted. Strange noises continued
to be heard on board, such as the working
of the windlass in heaving the anchor,
but on going forward no one was to be
seen. Now comes the strangest part of
the story. During the Captains absence
on this voyage another son of his, Samuel
T, arrived home from voyage, and
remarked that he would go down for his
dunnage. He came back with it and lay
down for nap. Not coming down to tea,
some Of the family went to call him and
found him dead. This was about the
time that the mate and steward saw the
figure in white.

TeIegraphing to Lovers with this Use
full Article.
Sentimental parasols, says the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, are to be in fashionable
and coquettish use this summer. They
will be to their carriers what fans are to
the bellies of Spain-implements of devas-
tation to male hearts. This was tacitly
agreed upon by all the New York girls,
who kept up with the procession just as
soon as they saw that elaborate and pic
turesque sun-shades were to be feature
of summer life at the resorts; but it was
not until night before last that any con-
cert of action was arranged. / was then
present at secret conference of a small
but highly influential number of our most
approved bellies, and l was delegated to
publish the outcome of the important de-
liDeratiOns. After a general discussion of
the question at issue, during which, it was
abundantly set forth that inanimate arti-
Giles can be employed effectively in fiirta-
ton, and greatly to the relief of facial eX-
pression-besides possessing the adj
vantage of being non-committal-the fol-
lowing code of signals and signiicances
was adopted unanimously:
Opening the parasOl quickly with the
point upWard-YOu interest me.
Closing in the same manner-I am not
favorably impressed by you.
Opening with the point downward-Ac-
quaintance would not be disagreeable to
me.
Closing similarly-An advance would
be repealed.
Closed and carried over the right should
er-Beware of observers.
Closed over the left shoulder-We are
watched.
Revolved slowly while open-I like you.
Revolved rapidly love you.
Used as cane-You may walk with
me.
Laid across the lap-You may sit by
me.
Carried under the right arm-Yes.
Under the left arm-No.
Swung point down in front-Kindly sa-
lutation.
Moved perpendicularly while held open
over the head-Good-by.
Revolved open behind the back-You
may follow me.

Get Ready for Turnips.

Pl0W up the ground for turnlps now and
harrow it fine. The grass and weeds will
soon spring up and may then be easily
destroyed by passing the harrow over the
ground once or twice. This plan germi-
mates the seeds before the sowing of the
turnip seed. AS soon as the first young
crop of weeds are killed, a second crop
will appear after a good rain. Now go
over the ground with the cultiyator, and
also harrow it fine again. There may still
be another lot of young weeds, but in
greatly reduced numbers. With another
good cultivating and narrowing they VIII
be nearly eradicated; the seeds viii have
terminated, the land made very fine for
the turnip seed, and the crop viii get
good start and thrive. We neglect the
turnip crop in order to grow hay and
gram, and yet turnips are very valuable
for feeding, not that they are as nutritious
and fattening as other kinds of feed, but
because they are relished in winter by
stock, as a change from the dry provender
which they receive for so many months of
the cold season, The monetary value of
the crop is nearly equal to grain, if we
will consider the uses to which we may
apply turnipss In sowing the seed drill
may be used. The rows should be wide
enough to admit of cultivation with cul-
tivator, but plants should be thinned out
to a single one every six inches, or of such
distance apart as to admit Of the hoe.
The fly is very destructive to this crop as
it comes up, and consequently the seed
should be used literally, as the surplus
plants are more easily removed than to
resow. Ashes are said to prevent the at.
tacks of the fly. but care should be exer-
cised in applying ashes to tender plants.
A solution of carbOlic acid with a little
soap in the water sometimes prevents at
tacks. Keep the field clean, as well
worked, and push the plants forward.
The'rutabagas are the best for a field crop
and the mixture of potash salts and SUI
perphosphate the best fertilizer.

what MANY people. especially children.

What many people, especially children,
call thirst, is merely a sense of dryness
in the mouth and throat. This uncOm-
Portable sensation is caused by the gene
raj habit of breathing through the mouth.
The air taken into the lungs dries the
mouth, tongue and the upper portion OF
the throat. To drink for the purpose Of
relieving mouth made dry by being open,
is frequently to overload the stomach with
fluids which are not needed, and which,
consequently, are detrimental TO diges-
ton. 1t is peculiarly injurious also, for
il washes into the stomach all the foul
solids which, in the form Of dust, find their
way into the mouth and throat.

MOSQUITOES Under the NIicroscop.

We have long held the opinion that the
mosquito is an unmitigated scoundrel,
who could give our own lively flea six
stones and beating over long course,
but we are now convinced. A gentleman
has examined Mr.. Mosquito under a mi
croscOpe, and his description is, to say
the least, startling. 1t appears that in
the "bill'' of the little beast alone there
are no fewer than five distinct surgical
instruments. These are described as
lance, two meat saws, a suction pump
and a small Corless steam engine. 1t APP
pears that when ''skeeter'' settles down
to his work upon nice tender portion of
the human frame, the lance is first pushed
into the flesh, then the two saws, placed
back to back, begin TO work up and down
to enlarge the hole; then the pump is in
serted and the victims blood is syphoned
up to the reservoirs carried behind, and,
finally, to complete the cruelty of the per-
formance, the wretch drops a quantity of
poison into the wound to keep it irritated.
Then the dimunitive fend takes fly round
just to digest your gore and makes tracks
for a fresh victim, or if the first one has
been of unusually good quality, he re-
turns to the same happy hunting ground.
The mosquitoes marvellous energy, COM
bined with his portable operating chest,
makes him at once terror and pest.
Our English skin graZers are doves in
comparison with them.

The Cow for FLORIDA.

The best milking COW to stand the eli
mate of Florida is yet to be found. Jer-
seys have been mostly imported for the
but of hundreds we have seen
brought here we do not know of one that
has lived over two years, the greater num-
Der dying before they have been here six
months. The small Guinea cows have
done very well so far, but their supply of
milk does not come up to the standard,
seldom exceeding six or eight quarts per
day-net more than a well-fed Florida
raised COW. 1t would pay some one to
breed milking COWS from the best of our
heifers witlfimported bulls.
Other breeds that have been brought into
the State have done better than Jerseys,
but they have been so few in numbers that
no conclusion as to the adaptability can
be arrived at. We must breed our own
