longitudinal opening on the top, and con-

1t has been demonstrated by DIR. Hans
Molisch that the roots of plants may be
detected from their normal direction by
exposure on one side to certain gases. Ii
such gases are in moderate quantities the
roots bend away from their sources; II IN
larger quantities, toward such source.
The side of the root exposed to the action
OF the gas grows more strongly than the
other.
Not only, says Brundenell Carter, has
the aouteness of vision of civilized man
fallen below the standard common among
savage nations but at the same time the
eyes OF civilized man often depart from
the noFmal or approximately spherical
formation, either becoming fiattened from
front to back, so as to bring the retina too
near the surface, or elongated from front
to back, so as to remove the retina too far
from the surface.
A German experimental, Prot. Il.
Wollny, has found that soil covered with
living heritage or dead vegetable matter
is colder in summer and warmer In win
ter than bare soil under otherwise similar
conditions. The difference OF tempera-
ture is greatest in summer and least in
spring and autumn. Bare soil heats more
quickly in the spring and cOols
more quickly in autumn than that
covered with living or dead vegetable
matter.
According to scientific paper there is
a sulphur deposit at Djemsa, Suez, in q
perfectly rainless desert on the African
coast, very near the sea, and constituting
a hill 900 feet high, whose sides are blast
ed down as in quarrying stone. Some 200
Arabs, employed npderEreneh engineers,
succeed IN mining ten tons. a day. A
similar deposit occurs at R0nga, 500 miles
from Suez, also near the African Conti-
nent, which differs only In being buried
under other strata. .u.

in tempefing coiled steel springs is as
follows: An iron pot filed with lead is
heated so that the lead is full red, or
sufficiently hot to raise an immersed
spring to the temperature requisite for
hardening. The spring when hot enough
is quickly plunged into water or lard oil
Then, to draw the temper, small vessel
Of linseed oil Is heated to its boiling point
The spring is dipped into the boiling oil

Flowers.

10 grow flowers successfully, one must
not only admire them, but delight in car
ing for them. 1t is easy for those having
means To buy such plants as their fancy
indicates, but to hundreds of people in
moderate circumstances, such a course
Is who'll impracticable; yet, as rule,
the latter class achieve the best results.
III matters little how rare are the plants
procured, often at great expense, or how
handsome the stands and brackets they
occupy, II they be allowed to drOop for
water, to become the prey of rust or in
sects, and TO grow wan and feeble for
want Of air and sunshine which they
crave. Thus nelected they become pItia-
bic rather than pleasing objects.
The idiosyncrasies OF plants are as
varied as the plants themselves. 1t re-
qulres earnest thought and study to de-
termlne the best methods for their Guilt
walton. There are many helps at hand in
the shape of good magazines especially
devoted to Horticulture, yet failures
are many. Experience is the "best
teacher here as elsewhere, and by its
light one may see when to give shade or
sunshine, to prune, to shield from frOsts
or drouth, how and when "slips" are best
rooted, when bulbs should go into the
earth, and considering ones peculiar IA
cilities, how many plants for the winter,
can safely manage.
1t is useless to expect either in the
house or out OF doors, to raise flowers
without much toll and continued interest
In the effort. 1t Is not only to SOW seed
and to start slips, but to continue in we'll
doing. 1t is quite enchanting to the av-
erage mind when spring, after much lag
glng and buster, really comes to stay, to
devise rings and concentric rings, oVals,
n heaHA a- -.
lines are to flourish all the blossoms and
vines set forth in the best catalogues. But
alas! though the inception of this magnih-
cent enterprise is so captivating, 1t be-
comes mourntully apparent as the season
advances and the weeds encroach. that
labor and that of kind not altogether
easy and agreeable is required. Then the
faint-hearted and stiff-kneed retire from
the field. Then the crab grass, rag weed,
mullen, and their beggarly ilk crowd in.
The lovely geometric lives vanish, the
smooth walks dwindle to brown threads
tangled IN green wilderness. The trelis
for the honeysuckle which never grew,
looks in its CHASTITY smear OF white paint
like new-fangled tombstone The Glove
lies-bleeding" has lost its last carmine
drop Of color, the mottled throat OF the
snap-dragOn is dry and shrunken, the for
get-me-not Is forgotten, the rocket 'gOne
up," honesty Is no more, and the peas are
anything but perennial" hollyhock
struggles above the rabble of weeds,
gourd of fragrant individuality wanders
aimlessly about, while single tramp of
a poppy glares red eye over the scene.
Ruin reigns where beauty should have
queened the realm, and the detected
owner mourns an ignOble defeat, and too
often gives over any future attempt at
gardening as far as flowers are con-
cerned.-N. r., in Fruit GrOgers' Jour

1t will be a surprise to the fruit grow
ers and shippers patronizing this market
to learn that California has been shipping
peaches regularly to this and other lead
ing markets for several weeks past-thht
her fruit though In transit six days
opened up here in splendid order, and
sold much higher than the finest lots
from Arkansas and Texas, only two days
off the trees. The new freight schedule
enables the California shippers to forward
much more freely than formerly, as :he
EXPIRE rates now TO the city are only
50 per hundred, and freights half that. 1t
is evident, therefore. when light crop is
visible here California will come in as
lively competitor for the profits in sight.
Pears and plums of the most attractive
appearance have also been offered regu-
larly for some time.-St. Louis Rural

Some of the lumber trade journals
states that new method of tree-ielling
by dynamite has been successfully intro
duced. A cartridge of that explosive
substance is placed in a channel bored
directly under the tree to be operated
upon, and when exploded, the tree is sim
ply forced up bodily and falls intact on
its side. IL the system works as well as
it is represented TO do, and the tree is not
fractured by the force of the explosion, a
large proportion of valuable wood at the
base of the trunk can be utilized which
is now lost. This method seems admira-
bly, adapted for clearing forest properties
and converting them into arabic land, as
1t brings up the roots of the tree at one
operation, and dispenses with the tedious
and costly process Of grubbing out the
roots of the felled timber. This latter
work was Hercuean task in many of
the Northwestern States, such as Ohio,
Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, and
also in Canada, Many farmer in Cana
da wore his life out in removing stumps,
and died before the work was fully accom-
nliahed - EV

If had asked you if your boy could
handle hoe you would not have felt
complimented. Every person thinks he
can, but it Is something of an art TO hoe
well. | nave man who handles hoe as
gracefully as leader OF an orchestra
handles his baton. Your boy handles
hoe very much as a cow handles her hind
foot. MY man will whirl his hoe around
the plant quickly and to the desired
depth, shaving every weed, and running
very close to the tree or plant without
marring 1t. Your boy grasps the hoe
loosely, and more often hits the plants
than the weeds. My man stands up
right like soldier aud marches along
with dignity. Your boy bends over with
every stroke of the hoe as though he was
picking up fish bait with every stroke.
He hoes with the back of the hoe, and
the side. The hoe wabbles about and [
am continually alarmed as 10 the results
OF his work. Your boy can tell us about
Jupiter, Venus and Mars, but he cannot
tell an onion when he sees il in the gar
den, and is quite as apt to hoe up the
onion as the weed. He is we'll informed
as to the distance Of the sun from us, and
the size and weight thereof, but he does
not know how to catch potato bugs. He
is we'll informed as to the life of Caesar
and Hannibal, but he does not know which
side Of a COW to milk frOm.-Er.

However that may be, it is a great thing
to make more grass grow. 1t is a great
thing to have some kind of the many val
liable tame grasses on almost every part
Of your farm, except in the vegetable and
