STRANGE FACTS.

Things That May seem lncredible to Su'

Gold-beaters, by hammerng,. can re-
duce gold leaves so thin that two hun,
dred and eighty-two thousand must be
laid upon each other TO produce the
thickness of an in inch, yet each leaf is
so perfect and free from holes that one
of them, laid on any surface, as in gid
ing, gives the appearance of solid gold,
They are so thin that if formed into a
book, twelve thousand would only oc.
cupy the space of II single leaf of COM
mon paper; and an octave volume of an
inch thick would have as many pages as
the books of well-stocked library OF
one thousand five hundred volumes,
with four hundred pages in each. Still
thinner than this is the coating of gold
upon the silver wire OF what is called
gold lace. Platinum and silver can be
drawn in wire much finer than human
hair. A grain of blue vitriol or car
mine will tinge gallon of water so
that in every drop the color may be
perceived. A grain of musk will
scent room for twenty years, and
will n mat period have lost little of
its weight. A burning taper uncovered
for single instant, during which it
does not lose one thousandth part of n
grain. would fill with light sphere
four miles in diameter, SO as to be visl-
bic in every part of it. The thread of
the silk-worm is SC small that many of
them are twisted together to form our
finest sewing thread; but that of the
spider is finer still, for two drachms of
it by weight would reach four hundred
miles. In water in which vegetables
have been infused, the microscope dis
covers ammalcule of which many thou
sands together do not equal ora n of
sand; and yet nature. with singular
prodigality, has supplied many of these
with organs as complete as those of the
whale or of the elephant. and their bod

mate atoms, as that of man himself In

LATE EXPERIMENTS.

Experience with Grasses at tho Kansas
,Ncg state agricultural College.
Prof. +. M. Shelton, of the Kansas
State Agricultural College, reports that
his experience with orchard grass indl-
Gates that larger yields of pasture and
hay are obtained from given area of
ground when it is allowed to have its
own way. unchecked by crowd ng; and
that it is mistaken practice to SOW very
thickly in order to eountera4 lhe ten.
dcncy to grow in tussocks About a
bushcl and a half of seed are therefore
enongh-for an acre. He has obtained
excellent results by adding to- this
quantity of seed three quarts of red
clover seed, both growing well togeth-
err. He finds no amount of trampng
or close grazing at any season to injure
well-rooted orchard grass sod. 1t is
one of the earliest grasses to start in
the spring and the latest to succumb To
frost in autumn. He remarks that lu-
cerne should not be pastured or mown
during the first season, as it makes a
feeble growth at first, but il is "a good
practice to run the mower occasionally
over the surface high enough to miss
the lucerne and cut OIL the tops of the
weeds; after this it will take care of
itself and of all the weeds within
its reach. Prof. 5. thinks
it the most valuable for Kansas. Irriga-
ton makes it invaluable. Very close
grazing late in autumn is aptto be fatal
to it. In answer to the inquiry as to the
relative merits of red clover and lucerne,
he remarks that while clover yields hard
" more than onc-half the hay or pas
turage afforded BY lucerne, yet in point
of quality lucerne is greatly inferior. The
stalks are nearly solid and quite woody,
and there is much waste in feeding the
hay. Speaking of the Texas bluegrass
(to1 arachnJera) Prof. Shelton re-
marks that it is of much coarser habit
than the common bluegrass, that it will
withstand the climate of Kansas. but he
does not know s'that it can be propa-
gate1 from seed at all. We have plants
of this grass raised from seed. of two
years growth; the upper leaves were
rendered brown by the last severe win
ter. 1t forms dense sod. but has
shown no tendency to throw up seed
stalks. Our winters at the North are
probably rather severe for its best sue
cess" Prof. S. strongly recommends
sowing grass seed alone, after gener-
Gus preparation of the soil; holding that
when s5wn with grain the grass oper-
ates as weed on the grain, and the
grain is weed to the grass. and that
after the young grass has been retarded
and dwarfed BY the grain. it suffers
mole from midsummer heat when the
grain is cut, than with strong early
growth, with no other plants to rob the
J soil Of moisture -0kso Farmer,

Machine Preaching Peace and Love.
[Chicago Inter- Ocean.
There is vacant lot upon North State
street that is used by night for wagon
yard and by day as playground for
youngsters who can hardly be called
gamins, but whose manners frequently
verge ON the gaminesque. Fights are
numerous enough to make it interesting
for the people Of the neighborhood, and
when on are waged with fire AMI yigor
rarely seen outside church choir.
One day the tocsin of war was sounded
at the height of a game of duck on the
rock. The boy who was. ninding the
duck rushed on the boy who had Just fired
half brick, in q violent state5of anger,
superinduced by an abraded shin or some
trihe of that sort. The combatan is
the formality of choosing seconds and
referee, and did their best to disigure
each other for life. The fight was right
merrily raging when it attracted the at
tention of a kind hearted, benevolent.
looking old gentleman, who bore down on
the yelling gang with an inexpressibly
shocked countenance. He crowded bis
way to the center, grabbed the boys and
held them apart. He then read them a
homily on the evils of fighting, and the
disgrace of trying to harm each other. 1t
was long and impressive. He even went
so far as to drag in that poetic gem that
commences, birds in their little nests
agree" and the sentiment also, that only
dogs delight to bark and prepare them
selves for the sausage machine, for Ills
their nature to.
My young friends" ne concluded, "you
should learn to love each other and play in
peace and harmony together. He who
lifts his hand against another will come to
no good end. 1t was never intended that
one person should harm another. You
should live at peace with your play
mates and the whole world"
II as appearances seem to indicate the
old gentleman who preached peace on
earth and goodwill tomen was delegate
to ministerial convention there would
be nothing worthy Of remark in his senti-
ments, but he was not. He.was DIR. Cat.
ling, who had given to the world the most
fiendish and devilish homicidal machine
ever used in civil warfare-the Calling

the true inwardness of such mans views
of love, white-winged peace, the oliva

FUNERAL OF FATHER JARDINE.
A Sensation Caused by the Address of Rev.
Belts, Who Warmly Defends the Dead Man.

KANSAS Cry, JAM 13.-The remains of Rev
Henry D. Jardine were inferred in the Union
Cemetery to-day. The funeral services took
place at St Mary's Church at 10 o'clock this
morning. with marked ceremonies. Requiem
mass was rendered by Rev. E. A. Larrabe. of
the Church of the Ascension of Chicago, and the
funeral oration was delivered by Rev. Father
Belts, of Trinity Church, st. Louis. Father
Belts created suppressed sensation by an ar
raignment of the prosecution which had fol-
lowed the dead priest, placing him in the light
of marryred man. Demonstrations of ap-
plause were made by some of the dead mans
friends, but the sounds were quickly hushed
On accosess cf the limited capacity of the church
tickets Of Admission were issued, and the church
was filed to overfowing. number of persons
were present from without the city.
The sensational address of Rev. Mr.. Belts is
the talk of the city tonight He spoke in glow
ing terms in defense of the deceased, and with
bitter invective against all who had combined
against him. The scene grew highly dramatic
as the tall priest stood beside the bier in the
dimly lighted church, and, facing the audience,
declared his dead friend had been assassinated,
and they. the people of Kansas City, had slain
him. Hedenounced the action of the ecclesasti-
cal court as outrageous, and characterized the
bishops conduct as weak and temporzing
Further evidence, the speaker declared, would
demonstrate the innocence and purity of Father
Jardine.
