advanced in proof OF the existence Of the

1t is stated, says an English paper,
that with Mr.. FItzgerRld's new secondary

Of the peculiar form of spongy lead as
many as 81 ampere-hours are alleged to

Mr.. E. Yung has been ascertaiuing the
nature OF the influence Of salt water on
the development of the larvae OF the frog.
The tadpole perishes in from to 20 min

and in few hours in a
solution of marine salts in the proportion
Of per cent. But 1t may be adapted to an

There is nothing to equal IT, in Mr..
MOnckton's opinion, in promoting
healthy granulati0n. The decoction has,
in such climate as that of India. a
strong tendency to fermentation, by the
addition of about an ounce of an equal
mixture of carbolic acid and glyeerine to
each quart OF the decoction.
Mr. S. T. Cunningham, of the Scottish
Marine Station, GrantOn, considers the
statements Of Woodward, Jeffrey and
Huxley that the oyster rests on the left
valve, which is the larger and more con-
veX, to be quite erroneous and based on
Inadequate observation of the oyster IN its
native state. The evidence which ap-
pears to Mr.. Cunningham to be cOnclu-
sive against that assertion is that in his
experience with Firth of Forth oysters
the right fiat valve is always clean while
the convex valve is covered with worm
| tubes-Styela grossularia-and hydrolds,
the growth of the latter, especially to a
length OF or inches in the central part
of the lett valve, being impossible if
that valve were always the lower in posi-
ton.

The annual report Of the State board of

Massachusetts comes nearest, with a

There are also 43 miles Of new road under
construction. The total length of tracks is

There cannot be profit in any stock that Is

Another Beet-sugar scheme.

Mr.. e. Meeker, who is endeavoring to
introduce the manufacture OF beet sugar
In Washington Territory, recently made
the following statement on the subject:
you, of course, are aware that a Joint
stock company has been formed for the
purpose of manufacturing sugar from
beets in this country, and that articles of
Incorporation of the Valley Sugar Com
pany have been filed. At a meeting Of
the trustees / was chosen manager of the
company, and instructed to canvass
among farmers and contract for %, 900 tons
of beets per annum for five years, the
price fixed on being "a 30 per ton. AL
ready 5000 tons per annum have been
promised. Measures have already been
taken TO secure site for a factory oppo-
site AlYord's place, on White river, 80 that
freight can be taken TO and from the fac
tory either by the river route or by rail.
The size of the works contemplated is suf-
fcient to turn out 10000 pounds OF sugar
per day, and the furnaces will consume
fully 10000 tons of coal per annum. l re-
Gently visited Germany for the purpose Of
investigating the beet-sugar industry
there, and to ascertain by comparison if
it would be practical TO inauguTate the
industry on Puget Sound. | found that
sugar was there being produced from
beets as cheaply as it is In any of the cane
sugar producing regions In the world.
From years Of study and research aud a
large outlay OF mOneyin travelling and in
vestigatlng the subject, 1 am convinced
that we can manufacture sugar here as
cheaply as they do in Germany, and con-
sequently can compete with any sugar
cane producing region on the continent"

The south's Opportunity.


s. NJ, IN the Rural World, says it has
fone been an established idea that when
the mercury comes down to Is deg. below
zero the peaches are killed IN the bud.
That this, in a few instances proved errO-
neous, but the recent drop to 10 deg. find
ing the trees already weakened by the two
past winters has not probably permitted
any to escape. This, OF course, is very
discouraging to Northwestern fruit grow
ers, and the writer confesses himself SO
much disguised as to be thinking about
Florida, California, and other more favor
ed climatic situations inlthe South. 1t is
likely that what escaped the blizzard re-
ferred to was destroyed by its successor
which followed in less than two weeks.
They show the difficulties under which
fruit growers must labor in the North
west and even down in the Middle
States.
1t is true that the extraordinary cold
waves of that region sweep down South
even to the Gulf OF Mexico, destroying
millions Of dollars worth of fruits and
vegetables, but this presents no COMPARE
son to the awful desolation wrought in
the Northwest. The Southern farmer has
but to think of his farm as several feet I'M

houses and barns as showed in-no work
