A discovery has been made by DIR.
Pehl, of st. Petersburg, which promi.
ses to have very important bearing on
many industrial processes, The water
of the river NeVa is very free from bac-
terra, having only about 300 germs i'll a
cubic centimeter. The canals Of st.
Petersburg, on the contrary, are infec-
ted With bacteria, their number reach
ing HOG in cubic centimeter, even
during good weather. The same is
true with regard 10 the conduits of
water for the supply Of the city.
While the chemical composition of the
water passing through these city con-
duits hardly differs from that of the
Neva Thy which they are supplied), the
number Of bacteria reaches 10000,
against 300 in the water freely taken
from the river; and the worst water
was found in the chief conduit, although
all details of its construction are the
same as in the secondary conduits. DIR.
Pehl explains this anomaly by the IA.
pidity of the motion of the water, and
he has made direct experiments in order
to ascertain that. In fact, when Aatel
was brought into rapid motion for al
hour, by means of the centrifugal ma
chine, the number of developing germs
was reduced by 80 per cent. Further
experiments will show if this destruc
ton of germs is due to the motion o
the mass of water or to molecular mo
ton. If this discovery of DIR. Pehl'i
he confirmed, it will become possible to
destroy bacteria, and render a water
comparatively pure simply by passing
1t through centrifugal machine. The
subject is of special interest to brewers
who suffer, perhaps, more than any
other manufacturers, from the attacks
OF bacteria.

Doctor Schweinfurth, in a lecture
which he recently delivered at the Ber-
lin Geographical Society on the subject
Of his latest explorations in Central
Africa, gave his hearers a thrilling ac-
count Of the mode in which capital
punishment is inflicted upon criminals
by the Al-Quadjis, a small tributary
otfshoot of the great and powerful Di-
jour people. The malefactor condemn.
ed to die is bound to post firmly drlv-
en- into the ground in some open space
where no trees afford a shade, and is
there slowly roasted to death, not by
any artificial means involving waste
of fuel, but by the natural heat of the
suns rays as they reach our earth in
its equatorial regions. To prOtract his
sufferings and to avert his too speedy
end by sunstroke, The ingenious AL.

Burgundian Tapestries.

The restoration or aIOther of the
famous Bergundian tapestries at Bern,
part of the spoil taken by the Swiss at
Grandson and Murten, has just been
completed. The work was commenced
some years ago by Fraulein Katharine
BUTLER, the sister of the helaldic artist
Experts say that no one else could have
executed the task SO skilfully and reye-
rently, Without some sort of attention
the tapestry must have fallen to pieces.
One of its companions, the tent.carpet
of Charles the Bold, was restored about
five years ago. These works are judged
to have been in part wrought at Arras
on the frontier of the industrial Elan,
ders, and in part at Bruges. They are
in wool, interviewer with gold and sill
yer thread, and were made piecewist
and afterward joined together. TIE
subjects are patty religious, partly his.
torlcal, and parity heraldic. One OF
them represents the legend of thu
"lleillgsprechung' Of the Emperor
Trajan.

SUCCESSIVE ORoPs OF POULTRY
| Where labor is too costly, or where, az
! in large family, no account Is made
of the labor OF children, 1t ia possible
to OBTAIN a large income from a COM
paratively small flock OF fowls. Thus is
accomplished by raising successive
crops OF chickens during the season.
The first crop should be out of the shell
oy FEBRUARY l, and the last inStallment
by June 10 We are speaking now Of
raising chickens fer market. The first
Matched will be ready for market by
the first of May and the last by thanks
giving. The old fowls should be dis
posed of in July, or as soon as their
services as layers and mothers can be
dispensed with. The successive broods
should be disposed of Just as soon as
they will command a fair price. The
earliest will be III marketable condition
in from eight to twelve weeks. They
can never be more prohtably disposed
OF than Of that age, tor MS they increased
in size prices decline, and 30 the extra
food bestowed ON them is actually
thrown away. By this method of
promptly disposing of the chicks as
they mature, the premises do not be-
come overstocked aud the soil of the
runs foul, as in the case when large
locks are kept throughout the season
10 be sold at the holidays, By selling
off the old stock IN July the greatest
possible profit is obtained ir ,m them.
After this date they lay but few eggs,
begin to moult III the fall, and perhaps
lay not single egg before winter. The
extra pound or two OF flesh they put on
does not pay for their feed. BY killing
off all surplus stock by Thanksgiving
the yards are cleared out aud opportu-
nifty is given to feed and care well for
the few that are to be kept over Tor the
iext seasons breeding. The extra care
these few receive will induce early lay
ing and broodiness in the spring, and
these two points are essential to success.
We have only outlined method that is
followed by many in the Eastern States
who have been successful III making
money by raising eggs end poultry for
the food market. The plan will have
TO be modified according to locality and
other circumstances.

Several days ago proclamation was made
that vast body of prominent citizens of
Buffalo, most of them Republicans, were
eager to sign certificate that Governor
Cleveland is innocent of the charges of i'm
morality brought against him; but for some
reason or other it is not forthcoming. 1t is
now twenty-one days, three weeks, since
these charges were published in his own city
and nobody has yet presumed TO make any
denial which denied. We have had sundry
opinions that the offense was not as bad as
represented, sundry apologies for him, or ex-
cuses, and sundry assertions that, whether
true or not, it was matter about which the
people who are asked to make him Prssi-
dent have no business to be concerned; but
there has been no contradiction that restores
his good fame. Editor Purcell of Rochester
has had such representations made to him
that be withdraws his Characterization of
Governor Cleveland as "moral leper;" bat
he does not acquit him of immoral conduct.
We would remind Governor CleVeland's
friends, in Buffalo AMI elsewhere that "the
days are passing swiftly by" in which he
can be usefully exculpated.

Maranocook Tomorrow.

The meeting at Maranocook tomorrow
will be the opening of the campaign on the
part Of the Republicans in dead earnest.
With good weather there will be such gath
eriDg as has seldom, if ever, been seen in
this State at any political rally, and the peo-
pie of Maine will show both how enthusiast
| tically they honor the citizen who has been
selected as the standard bearer of the Re
publican party, and how earnestly they are
devoted to the great cause, of which he is
now the foremost representative. Indeed,
every public appearance of Mr.. Blaine since
MS nomination has been the signal for I'M
precedented popular demonstrations, by
which the people beyond our State lines
have been strengthened in their conviction
that the Chicago convention made no mis-
take, and have had their expectation of
glorious victory confirmed.
At the Maranocook meeting there will be
speaking from at least three stands, and op-
portunity to hear some of the most distin-
guished orators of the party. Both the
Maine Senators, all our members of Con-
gress and Governor Robbie will be there, be-
sides other able defenders of the Republic
can faith. From abroad there will be Hon.
Emory A. Storrs of Chicago, Hon. William
Gibson and Hon. G. q, Grosvenor of Ohio,
Col. W. c. Plummer of Dakota, Gen. John
L. Swift and E. Moody Boynton of Massa-
chusetts, and others. The issues of the day
will be amply, intelligibly and eloquently de-
bated. The multitude will be fed with
sound reason and persuasive oratory in great
abundance, and the hearts of all present
will be fired for the work of the campaign,
in which Maine has so important and so
proud part.
The Maine Central Railroad has made
special arrangements for doing the enormous
business of the day. The rates of fare have
been reduced SO that everybody who wishes
may go. If there was not to be single
speech, it would be worth while for the Re
publicans of the State to come together in
such meeting to compare notes, strengthen
acquaintance and rejoice in the bright hopes
all entertain.

The Hon. John L. Stevens of Augusta,
who was Mr.. Blaine's associate in the man
agement of the Kennebec Journal in 1854
writes to that paper that Mr.. Blaine "had
no syn PATTY with the distinctive views of
the Know-Nothing organization, never was
a member of it, but on the contrary was ad-
verse to its doctrines and purposes" Mr.
Stevens probably knows more about Mr..
Blaine's opinions at that time than any man
living, and his testimony ought to put an
end to further attempts to implicate Mr..
Blaine in the Know-Nothing folly.

The disaffection of Butler has seri-
ously impaired both the numbers and
the enthusiasm Of the Democracy of Bos-
ton. The Cleveland ratification meetings of
Friday night plainly demonstrated that.
Compared with a Butler rally the ''purity and
reform" meeting was spiritless. The halls
were well filed at the beginning, but the au-
diences thinned out very rapidly and the
last speakers addressed chiefly empty bench
es. Cheers for Butler were about as fire.

Of the Massachusetts Democracy which is
