REMARKS.-The butter market remains un-
changed from last week, but there is tendency to
still lower prices unless it commences to go into
cold storage. Cheese is dull and lower. Eggs are
in demand. Beans are quiet. Flour is trying to
find lower level. 1t never could be duller. Pork,
lard and hams are in fair demand and the market
fairly firm. Corn and oats quiet. Potatoes are
in ample supply, and unchanged in price.

A realistic representation in pyrotechnes, of a
scene common in late war; At the left is seen a
fort from which is displayed the stars and bars,
while far TO the right appears steamer bearing the

fire upon the fort which replies with startling effect

tremendous explosions upon both combatants.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUS TRIAL.

German experiments have proven that
seamud is much better fertilizer for
rye and oats than farm yard manure
Blasting paper is recent Austrian in
vention. 1t is described as being unsized
or ordinary blotting paper, coated with
mixture of prussiate of potash, of
charcoal, saltpeter, potassium chlorate,
and wheat starch. On its being dried it
is cut into strips which are rolled into
cartridges.
According to the Clinical Record d.
Brnton has always looked with certain
amount of disbelief on carbolic acid, but
finds corrosive sublimate to be the com
ing atiseptic. Professor Koch has shown
that solutions of one part of sublimate
to l., 900 parts of water will destroy all
bacteria, germs and spores.
A plant called kappe, indigenous to
Java, was exhibited short time ago at
Amsterdam When its fiber is carefully
prepared it resembles wool, and when
curled it forms an inexpensive stuffing
for mattresses. 1t may also be spun an /
dyed, and with improved methods of
treatment may prove valuable as textile
material.
1t is found that the seaweed known as
zostera marina, or wrack, can be made to
yield, by treatment with mental acids, a
substance quite resembling horn, capa-
BILE of being manufactured into forms,
and of receiving color from pigments.
This substance is called algin, and is OBJ
tainable in large quantities on all eX-
posed shores.
The annual rainfall in this country,
according to the Weather Signal, is lower
in New Mexico thirteen inches) and
California eighteen inches and highest
in Oregon (forty-nine) and Alabama
(fiftysiX). The annual rainfall in the
British Islands among the mountains is
fortyo one inches, on the plains twenty
five inches; forty-five inches of rain falls
on the west side of England, twenty
seven on the east side.
As curious illustration of the variety
of effects in nature produced by very
simple causes, the fact that, with all
their apparent range of color and express
sion, human eyes are really of only two
colors, was instanced by prominent
oculist in memorandum on the pig
ments Of the iris. One seldom sees OF
hears of orange eyes, and yet the orange
pigment is the basis of all descriptions
of dark eyes, ranging from yellow to
black. In a similar manner the pale
blue pigment (as best observed in the
cold Austrian blue eye forms the basis
of the lighter series. There are two
types of gray eyes, namely: the blue
gray and the hazel-gray. When micro
scOpically examined the pigment of the
Negroes skin and that of his eyes are seen
to be identical, being composed of min
ute orange spherulcs about one-four-
hundredth of a millimeter in diameter.

A well-known New York carpet dealer
went down the bay fishing the other
day, but luck was bad, and when even
ing arrived his basket Was entirely
empty. TO make the thing more aggra-
waiting a withered old chap whose sail
boat was close by had been hauling up
fish after FISH apparently with the great
est ease. Our friend did not like TO go
home with nothing at all to show for his
days sport O. and yet to purchase from
the luckier angler basketful of fish and
palm them of as his own catch was an
expedent not consistent with the high
standard of morality prevailing in the
carpet trade. But after some cogitation
way was found for getting out of this
difficulty. Approaching within a few
feet of the old fisherman the carpet man
made bargain with him for a basket
full, but with the understanding that
each fish bought must be thrown to him
and he would endeavor to catch it. As
he explained, his conscience would not
permit him to take home and exhibit
fish he had not caught. He managed,
however, to catch every one, and went
home to enjoy well-deserved ovation
from an admiring household. 80 CdIpet
