BITS OF SCIENCE.

Liquid oxygen is one Of the best of re-
| frigerants.
Pepper is sometimes adulterated with

From experiments tried by DR.. E. Klein,
| in concert with DIR. Blyth, it would seem
that mercuric chlOrideis Of as little value
as a germicide as pure water.
The cataracts of the Nile are due TO
granite veins. which the river, while
working in a way through the sand
stone, had been unable to destroy or re-

On June 10 III. G. Tissandier and NJ. j..
DucOn made an ascent ia a balloon in
Paris for the purpose Of making tests in
aerial photography. They obtained some
excellent photographs at elevations rang
ing from 900 to LOO metres.
M. Paul Charpentier has communicated
70 the Academy OF Science Of Paris an ac-
count Of specimen Of pine found Inn
bedded in glacier at an altitude Of 2.47J
metres. This is considerably above the
present zone Of the pine Ia this region.
Regarding the emission Of oarbOnic acid
and the absorption Of oxygen by leaves
kept in darkness, Deherain and Ma
Quenne observe that in EuOnymus japoni-
ca, the plant selected for experiment, TIE
carbonic acid given of exceeds the oxy-
gen absorbed.
The eminent botanist, De Candolle, set
the age OF an elm az 1886 years. The agea
OF some palms have been set down at

dar at 500 Of an oak at 1900, Of a yew at
$3.50 and OF baobab tree at 5000.

Glover Soil.

Some heavy soils, long cultivated with
out seeding, become too lumpy for free
growth of clover, while still containing
enough plant food II it can only be got at.
Thorough cultivation, so as TO get clover
10 grow, viii often work wonders on this
class of soils. Thousands OF acres of
clay lands are in this condition. There is
always hope for heavy soil that has
once been fertile. II cropped too heavily
nature interposes her veto against entire
exhaustion by refusing to grow a crop.
The land is then turned out to rest, which
means TO grow up with bushes or weeds
until new supply OF vegetable mould is
formed at the surface. This is q slow pro-
cess, unworthy of civilized and pro-
gressive agriculture. Vita a renovating
crop like clover such land may he brought
into profitable farming condition within
very few years, and once made fertile, il
will net be difficult to keep it so. The
trouble is in the beginning Of making fer
tillty, as it is in making money. He
who has, receiveth abundantly, and from
him who hath not is taken what he seem
eth to have.

Mucky land is reckoned the best for
onions. 1t is easily worked and more east
lg-kept Clean tuau clay or gravelly soils.
But the di1Echlty in fitting muck for
onions is in making a firm bottom with
shallow seed bed. This is important, as
the crop will run to scullions unless the
bottom is rather hard. For this reason an
onion patch should not be deeply plowed
in the spring. 1t is better to do what
blowing is needed IN the fall, and then
cultivate the surface TO a very shallow
depth in the spring. Mineral manures are
coming into favor with onion growers.
They contain no weed seeds and do not
Tighten up mucky and too much, as free
use OF stable manure will be apt to do.
Many mucky soils rich in everything else
are often deficient in mineral plant food,
especiallY potash and phosphates.

Collie.

The symptoms Of collie, one of the most
fatal diseases TO horse, are readily detect
ed. The horse invariably scrapes with
his fore feet, kicks at the stomach and
shifts about, turns around, smells the
floor, lies jwn rolls, remaining for time
on his back, and breathes heavily through
out. At a recent meeting Of the London
Farmers club, a relief and sure cure was
presented by gentleman who has been
all his life among horses. When the
horse shows the symptoms of an attack
of collie, apply at once hOrseclOth or
wooden rug, Wrung Out Of boiling water,
to the stomach and to the sides, and COW
er with another couple of cloths to re-
tam the hea1. lAs they cool, renew the
cloths as oftenras needtul. A large bran
pOultice. as not as can be borne, is
equally effective, and retains the heat
longer.

A Wonderful Clock.

Perhaps the most wonderful
time piece ever heard of is a clock
described by a Hindoo rajah as
belonging to a native princess OF
Upper India. In front of the clock
disk was gong, swung upon poles,
and near it was a pile of artificial
limbs. The pile was made up Of
the full. number or parts for twelve
perfect bodies, but all lay heaped
together in seeming confusion,
Whenever the hands of the clocl
indicate the hour of !, ont from
the pile crawled just the number
of parts to form the frame OF one
man, part joining itself to part with
quick metallic click /; and when
completed, the figure sprang up
seized a small mallet, and walking
up to the gong, struck one, thu
first hour. When 2 o'clock came
two men rose up and did likewise
and so on through all the hours o
the day, the number Of figures be
ing the same az the number of The
hour till midnight, when the cntir'
heap sprang up, and marching t,
the gong, struck. one after anothe'
each his blow, making twelve II
all and then fell to pieces again.

Murder Will Out.

We learned, Sunday morning,
from our friend, Mr.. Frank Har'
vey, who had just seen a John
sons Bayou citizen, that the per-
p%etrators Of the recent assasslna'
ton there. Of Justice Stevens, had
been arrested by the detectives
1t seems, from all accounts, that
there was a deep laid scheme
which is said to have been con-
cocted by Mr.. Donahoe and Abram
Baker and executed by one Redman
A notorious character, WHO has
lately come into the neighborhood'
F. Pevoto, a quiet young nal well
connected, had been drawn into the
affair by the willy perpetrators, and
induced to furnish the horse and
gun. Redman who was staying at
Donahoe's, did the killing, while
Baker, who pretended to 60 staying
over night at a house about halt a
mile from D%onahoe's, vent and got
Into Redman's bed at Donahoe's
house, while Redman was out to
commit the deed, leaving the door
open, so that the members of Dona.
hoes family, when they returned
from the debating club. should see
the bed occupied and thereby prove
an alibi for Redman. When the
horse and gun was brought back
to Pevoto by Redmau, he said to
Pevoto, 81 have killed Stevens
He then went back and excha nged
places with Baker, the latter go
ing to the neighbours where he was
supposed to be staying all night,
This is the statement, as near as we
can give it, of Pevoto, who was
urged by his connection to tell wha1
he knew of the affair, and has turned
States evidence. Redman and Baker
are in the hands of the law officers
and possibly by this time Donahof
is in the tolls. A handsome reward
was raised by the Bayou people
also by the parish and State and
and there seems to be a determine
ton to see that the guilty parties are
punished.-Sabine Pass Times.
