HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE.
AN ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY.

The serial and short stories in Ha,per's Young
People have all the dramatic interest that Juvenile
fiction can possess, while they are wholly free from
what is pernicous or vulgarly sensational. The
humorous stories and pictures are full of innocent
fun, and thepapers on natural history and SCIENCE
travel and the facts of life, are by writers whose
names give the best assurance of accuracy and
value. Illustrated papers on athletic sports,
games, and pastimes give full information on these
subjects. There is nothing cheap about it but its
price.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE POTATO.

The common potato (Solanum tuberosum) is a
native of dry mountain land and by cultivation
in the moist climates of Europe and America it
has become liable to what is known potato
disease or rot. The suggestion was a short time
ago made that it might be reinvigorated by mix
ture with some one of the many other known
species of Sotanum, and an English horticulturist
Mr.. A. W. Sutton, is now striving to accomplish
this result. During last season he succeeded, as
he believes, in crossing S. Ma5lia-a species dis
covered by Darwin growing in marshy soil on
islands west of Patagonia-with the cultivated
potato obtaining three well filed seed balls. The
seed will be planted next year, and it is thought
probable that they may produce potatoes better
adapted to moist climates and soils than any Of
the varieties now GROWN.

MISCELLANEOUS.

A new lantern microscope, for displaying upon
o screen greatly magnifed images of very minute
Objects has been exhibited before the microscopical
societies of London, and has given results said to
be greatly in advance of any previous achieve
ment. At one meeting blow hys tongue was
shown from six to fourteen feet long, according
to the powers used, and the section of drone-
eye magnifed $500 diameters, or more than
six million times.
A subterranean observatory is being established
in a very deep coal mine near Nagasaki, Japan,
the object being to determine what connection ex-
lists between earthquake phenomena and those
meteorological phenomena belonging to the earth's
surface, such as storms, tides, etc. The protector
is Prof. Milne, of the University of Toxic, the in
defatigable student of earthquakes in the land in
which they are most frequent.
While some naturalsts have reasons for
believing that light of some kind must exist sew
eral thousand fathoms below the surface of the sea,
it is very improbable that sunlight can penetrate
to such great depths. At depth of $50 feet in
the Lake of Geneva, Messrs. Fol and Sarasin have
just found that the strength of the light in the
day is about equal to that which we perceive in a
clear moonless night. At 400 feet below the sur
face the light is still quite strong.
An English surgeon, DR.. Leighton Kesteven,
reports remarkable success with a antiseptic
method of treating wounds, consisting in keeping
the sores cleansed by means of jet of Steam
charged with solution of the oil of the eucalyp-
tus or blue gum tree.
According to Prof. Attield, F. R. S., some to-
bacco leaves contain naturally ten per cent. or

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
THE rARrH.MoLpINa WIND.

1t appears that the direct action of the wind
during long ages has had some effect in the shap-
ing of the land. In the plateaus of Central Asia
Gen. Prjeyalski has found evidence that violent
winds have moved the small stones about, gradu-
ally puverizing the fragments by friction, and
that the finer particles thus produced have been
blown to the valleys, where they have formed
constantly thickening deposit. On the Puy de
Dome, in France, extensive wind deposits have
been noticed, an ancient temple of Mercury on the
top of that mountain having been covered up in
sand for nearly twenty centuries.
PLANT ADAPTATION.
Some remarkable illustrations of the power of
plants to adapt themselves to diverse conditions
have been furnished by the observations of Senior
-srgthkos tffpttrnerUSdNw found growing in an
open space as bush about six feet high, while
another specimen of the same species was seen in
the shade of some woods only few yards away
as vine sixty feet in length. Other plants were
allowed to become vines of considerable length in
the dense Brazilian forests, and at once began to
change their appearance to that of shrubs on be-
ing given free exposure to the sunlight.
RAPIDITY OF SENSATION.
Attempts to determine the speed of thought
have been made by Prof. Donders, of Utrecht,
with two instruments, which he calls the noema-
photograph and the noematachometer. He has
found that the brain must act for 1869 of second
to produce single idea, but this time will proba-
bly, be shown to vary with different brains. For
the eye to receive impression requires .O77 of
second, and the needs .149 of second to APP
preciate sound, the action of the eye being near
ly twice as rapid as that of the ear.
MOON AND SUN POWER.
Not taking into account atmospheric absorption,
Sir William Thomson has computed that we re-
ceive from the full moon a light equal to that
which would reach us from twenty seven thousand
million million candles spread over the moons
earthward hemisphere, painted black. If allow
ance is made for the loss of moonlight in passing
through our atmosphere, the number of candles
must be much greater-probably reaching forty
thousand million million. The same eminent
physicist has further calculated that if the moon S
side we're painted black and covered with normal
ly burning candles standing closely packed in
square order, the light would appear to US to be
about the same in quantity as that which we now
receive As compared with the sun, he has been
led to the conclusion that we cannot be very far
wrong in estimating the light of the full moon as
about seventy -thousandth of the sunlight any
where on earth. LAt

Something About Tobacco.
New York Journal.

When the leaves and stems are
thoroughly cured the tobacco is ready
to be taken from the poles. The SOON
er il is done the better. 1t must be
done when the leaves are damp, SO
they will not rattle or break in
handling; they must not be wet.
Much care must be. taken to have it
in just right order, as this is very inn
portant. Do not take down large
quantities intending to let it lay long
on the stalks, for should the weather
be warm, it is liable to heat and
damage. It is best to sort the filters
and binders from the stalk, and strip
the wrappers all together. and put
them in boxes Or bundles to De sorts
ed. Small, thrashy leaves at the
bottom of the stalk and all badly
damaged leaves should be rejected.
The filters are fhe poorest leaves that
are fit TO save. They are small, ragged,
and otherwise unsound leaves, which,
as the name indicates, are suitable for
building cigars. Leaves having some
slight defect are placed in this grade.
The wrappers should be sized and
sorted into three different grades, long,
medium and short, and the nicer this
is done the better will be the chance
70. getting good. price for the crop.
Tie the hands with small, soft leaves,
putting from 10 10 Is caves in hand.
The crop is then ready for boxing or
marketing, as the case may be.

THE BOUNDARY LINE.
Massachusetts and New Hampshire
Will Again Attempt to Establish 1t.
New York Herald.


Another attempt, writes a Concord,
N. H., correspondent to The Boston
Globe, is shortly to he made to settle
and fix the boundary line between
New Hampshire and Massachusetts,,
which has been a fruitful subject Of
much discussion and dispute and no
little expense for over $50 years. New
Hampshire never had, and has not to-
day, a legal southern boundary, or
one which both she and Massachusetts
ever agree to as being the correct line.
New Hampshire was settled in 1923 by
colonists from Hampshire, England.
In 1850 she was separated from Mass
achusetts and erected into a province
by herself. Soon after Charles IL.
declared the charters of the New Eng
land colonies forfeited. In 1852 a
royal government was established in
New England, by which the Plymouth
Bay colony was united in Massachu-
sets, and New Hampshire again erect
ed into a separate colony, and so re-
manned until organized into state in
1856. About this time the dispute as
to the boundary line between the two
colonies arose. New Hampshire
claimed that the boundary line should
start at the mouth of the Merrimack
river, and proceeding certain dis
lance on this river, should then run
due west to the Connecticut river.
Massachusetts, on the other hand,
claimed al of the Merrimack valley
and all the territory as far north as
the "Endicott" rock in Lake Winni-
piseogee. This claim of the Massachu-
sets Bay colony only left for New
Hampshire little more territory than
is now embraced in its present two
counties of Grafton and Coos, and was
earnestly resisted by the New Hamp-
shire colonists.

THE ROSES.
GoDEY's LADYs BOOZE.


Down the lane wandered the maiden fair,
And plucked the wild roses here and there,
Fair were the roses ia their bloom,
Fresh and sweet was their faint perfume.
She gathered the buds of the sweetbrer wild,
And wreathed her flowers like happy child.
The thrush sang softly. the finch sang high,
The breezes murmured low reply;
Flushed with bloom was the wild rose tree,
Flushed with lovelierbl DOM was she.
In the rose garden the maiden ste nds,
And tIines the blossoms with loving hands;
Bright are the roses in their prime
Bright s the golden summer time.
Golden the roses, golden the hours,
For love has found her among the flowers.
She hears the red bird call its mate
She hears the coo of the brooding dove
The oriole MARBLES his song, elate:
And life is a golden dream Of love.
Down by the river at daylightss close,
The young girl sits with her lover there;
Rich is the flush of the dark red rose,
That is twined with the braidS OF her golden
Sweet is the breath of the perfect Bower,
Sweet is her lover S raptured kis
Her life is crowned with its perfect hour,
Her heart is thrilled with perfect bliss,
Deep grows the shadows the air grows chill,
Sad is the cry of the whip -poor-will.
White and silent the maiden lies,
White and still, Is the shaded room,
Closed to earth are her curtained eyes,
Sweet is the air with a faint perfume,
White are tn roses on her breast,
White is the soul of the maid at rest
Drop tear on her lovely brow,
Naught of earth can stain her now.
Strew, where they lay her, the roses fair
Plant the wild sweetbrier at her head,
And let the golden roses there
Upon her grave their splendor shed.
There let the lonely whip-poorwiu
STILL as the summers come and go,
With pantive call the other thrill,
And plant the white rose on her breast,
Lovelier, purer, than all the re t.
