NATURES CARPENTER.

The Exact Analogy Between the Carpen-
. ter's Plane and the Java OF the fsse.
There is an instrument very familiar
to carpenters. called the spokeshave, on
account of lis use in trimming the spokes
of wheels. Different as it may be in APP
pearance, it is identical in principal
with the plane. having an edge guarded
by piece of wood. so that the blade
can not cut too deeply into the object
on which it is employed. The chief dis
tinction, indeed, is that the workman,
instead of pushing the blade from him,
draws it to him.
Now let us see il we can find any OK
amples of the plane or spokeshave in
nature. trace at least one example of
the plane in the insect world. More
than hundred years ago, that very OBJ
servant naturalist, Gilbert White,
noticed bee performing curious task.
She was running up the stem Of the
garden campion, holding her jaws ex-
tended, and stripping of the down with
all the dexterity of the hoop-shaver.
She collected a bundle nearly as large
as herself, and then few away with it.
What she did with her burden he knew
not, but the history of the insect has
been told fully, though briefly, by
MIR. F. Smith, in the Catalogue or
British Hymenoptera:"
ssThis insect, so far rs my own obser-
walton has enabled me to ascertain, does
not construct its own burrow, but makes.
use of any hole which is adapted to its
purpose. l once detected a bee enter
ing the hole above the wheel of the sash
line in a summer-house; but its nests
are most commonly formed in the holes
bored in old willow strlmps by COssus
igniperda (the goatmoth); formerly
they were easily obtained in Battcrsea
Fields, where the willows abound.
The chamber being formed, the bee
collects quantity of down from woody
stemmed plants, with which she forms
an outer coating. She then constructs
3 number of cells for the reception of
the pollen, or food of The larva; they
consist of woody material, mixed with
some glutinous matter which resists the
moisture of the food they contain. and
in which the larva, being full fed. spins
broken silken cocoon. These bees
pass the winter in a larva state, and do
not appear until midsummer
The reader will see from this account
how exact is the analogy between the
carpenters plane and the jaws of the
bee. In consequence of the simile EN-
ployed by Mr.. White, the insect has
been popularity known by the title of the
Hoop-shavcr Bee. It is tolerably
common insect, and abounds in the
south of England. Req. J. G.

A NUMEROUS ENGINE.

Recent improvements In the Method Of
Loading ssd FiriaE the GstliaE Gun.
An improvement recently made by
Colonel Burlington and L. +. Bruce, Of
the United States armory, in the method
of loading and firing tho Calling gun is
destined to make a serious impression
in military circles. Tho Improvement
lies in the invention and perfection of a
new loading case, and an improved
mouth-piece to the gun itself, in which
the cartridges fall. to be subsequently
showed into each of the ten cylinders.
Until now the charging of the cylinders
was accomplished BY means Of a tin
case, crude and very unhandy cOmbi-
nation. The objection to this case was
that in order to insure the fall of the
cartridge properly into the mouth-piecc,
each had to be placed in position sim
gly, requiring thus most unnecessary
delay. This objection is done away
with in the new case, which is made of
hammered brass, strong and substan-
tial. tits built, a. Mr.. Bruce says, ON
exactly the principle of main track and
SWITCH The lower part has but sim
gle track. nearly to the middle, where
the case widens sufficiently to hold two
rows Of cartridges. A slide. supported
BY pivot, here separates the two rows.
Such an inclination is given that only q
certain number of cartridges can be
held in that position in double row;
the slightest increase Of pressure pre-
cipitates the cartridges down the single
row.
The holding capacity of this new case
is forty cartridges. The ease, simplicity
and rapidity with which the gun can be
loaded is marvellous. Box after box Of
cartridges need only be placed above the
case and allowed to drop, the automatic
movement of the slide and its:perfect oper.
alton preventing any clog or hitch what.
ever. The mouth-piece receives them, and
here the new arrangement comes into
play. A small wheel has been intro
duced with three grooves in the rim, the
sides tapering to certain angle, and
only in one direction. As the cartridge
falls into the mouth-piece it lies in one
of the grooves, and the mechanism ie
such that it is impossible to have it fall
otherwise than horizontally. The
springs shove the cartridge into the cyl
Under and it is shut. The only thing
DOW to prevent the almost infinite firing
of these cartridges is the man-power
limitation. The operator turns the
crank; the rapidity of discharge Of
course follows the rapidity of his motion.
From eight hundred to one thousand is
the average discharge minute. With this
new invention in the loading, the Calling
gun becomes one of the most murderOus
engines of modern warfare. Both kinds
of cartridges can be used, the long with
the forty -five-calibre, 2.8 inches and the
short 2.55 inches.-SprinQfeld, Mass.

TUsERcULoUS COWS.

A Claim That Their Addiction Can Re
Transmitted Through Milk and Meat.
In a report recently addressed to the
Town Council of Hull, DR.. Mason, Med.
ical Officer of Health for the borough,
expresses himself very strongly as to
the results which may follow on the con.
sumption of milk from tuberculous
cows. His attention having been drawn
to the fact of tuberculosis coming from
mich cows. he visited dairy, and hav.
ing the support of 3 veterinary sergeon
to the effect that the disease did actually
exist in a COW, he gave instructions tc
the proprietor not to sell the milk fol
food, and obtained samples of the mill
for microscopical and chemical exami.
nation; the cow was also kept under
observation. The sputum was found
to contain tubercular basilli, and
pus cells were visible in tho milk.
The milk, it is stated, was peculiar in
containing much larger proportion Of
fatty matter than is contained in healthy
milk. The cow was finally purchased
by DR.. Mason for fifty shillings; she was
in an emaciated condition, and when
slaughtered tubercles were found. The
dura mater and lungs were in an ad.
vanced condition of tuberculosis. as
were also the liver and some glands.
DR.. Mason, having detailed these facts,
goes on to assert that bovine tubercu.
losis is an infectious disease, which can
be transmitted by the indigestion and
incubation of tuberculOus matter, and
by giving animals the flesh and milk of
q tuberculous beast. Cows affected
with tuberculosis are, he alleges, gener.
ally good mixers. The disease,
he states, is hereditary and transmits.
sible to the human species through tine
milk and flesh, should these articles be
uncooked or insuficiently cooked

Farmers' Pockets.
The consumption of mutton is in
creasing in this country, especially in
large cities, and it has become profitable
to supply this demand. 1t is profitable,
first, because the price is rumerative,
and secondly. because it is prOmOtive of
good husbandry- the Improvement of
the soil. The various cereal crops are
depicting, rapidly exharfsting to the
soil; but a crop of mutton or wool takes
but an imperccptible fraction. and. I'M
der the best management, adds to its
fertility. The mineral matter taken
from the soil by five-pound fleece Of
wool rs only 1.6 ounces in a year, and 8
ounces of nitrogen. In order that the
reader may see what part of the food is
stored up in the body of the sheep, and
what is passed in the solid and liquid
excrement, we will quote from the Ger
man tables of experiments: 1t was
found that when sheep consumed 100
lbs. of nitrogen in their food (being bar
ley meaD, 16.7 lbs. was vOided in the
solid excrement, 70 lbs. in the liquid ex-
crement, and As lbs. was stored up as
increase of the body. Thus 95.7 per
cent. of the nitrogen of the food was
v0ided in the excrement, leaving as .
loss to the soil (stored up in the BODY
only 4.3 per cent OF the mineral or
ash constituents of the food, it was found
that sheep voided in the excrement 96.2
per cent, and used in the body only 3.S
per cent. When sheep were fed upon
good clover and meadow hay, the solid
excrcment contained, of ash, SIS per
cent; nitrogen, OF per cent; while the
urine contained, of ash, Sc per cent. !;

A PREVENTIVE
OF Typho- Malarial Fever and Cure
for Rheumatism at Last
Discovered

Discovered
By the firm Of Hughes Bros, manu-
featuring chemists OF Dallas, Texas.
This enterprising firm have for the
last five years been engaged in the
manufacture of baking powders, wines,
cider, vinegar, etc. DR.. + E Hughes,
who presides over their laboratory,
has for the last forty years been en-
gagged in the study and practice of
medicine aud chemistry. They also
have in their laboratory Prof Geo. @.
Calhoun, who has for many years been
q teacher Of chemistry, also Mr.. j.
Price Warrick, graduate Of chemistry
in the University of Philadelphia.
These gentlemen in manufacturing
the various articles already mentioned,
have found it necessary to combat ex
cessive lamentations, whether vinous,
acetous or alcoholic, which have ever
stood IN the way of successfully man.
ufacturing wine, vinegar and alcohol
in our Southern climate, The expert.
Eents have resulted In the discovery
OF an agent which completely Obviates
this difficulty. This agent is the ex-
tract of the bark of tree indigenous
to the state of Texas. Carrying their
experiments still further, they have
ascertained that this same extract
as completely controls the only re.
naming fermentation known TO the
arts and sciences, viz: Blood fer
mentation, which ia the cause Of fe-
vers as well as of rheumatism. This
agent they have combined with the
extracts OF ginger aud lemon, thereby
rendering 1t a most ell caciOus as well
as delightful and palataGle beverage.
lt Is not only one OF the best tonics In
its effects, but the use OF it efTectTally
prevents typho-malarial fever. AT the
same time IL ia a sure cure for rheunla-
tism. DR.. Hughes Extract of Lemon
and Ginger is put up in cases of two
dozen bottles, and can be found nj ali
