The recent gasoline catastrophe in this
city, by which three women were burned
to death. makes it timely to again call
the attention to one useful %precaution in
cases of clothing catching fire. The per-
son should Immediately lie down flat and
roll over upon the burning garment.
Even if this docs not extinguish the
flames, ii Will prevent them from reach
ing the head and upper part of the trunk
where the most serious injury would re-
suit. Fires resulting from burning oil
are inextinguishable with water, but
may readily be smothered by throwing
flour upon the burning oil. If clothing
is set on fire by spilling oil or by the
bursting of n lamp, n handful OF flour
thrown Immediately may be the means
of quenching the flames aud saving life.

Ono Explanation OF Decimal Counting.
Many use decimals instead of octonals
to-day, because in the progress from the
filmed fish to the fur-limbed amphibian
the number of iin-rays on each limh
happened to be reduced from eight OF
ten to five only. Hence most of the
higher animals have five fingers or five
toes on each extremity; and man in this
respect conforms strictly to his pre-
human arboreal ancestor.
If that ancestor had hal only fom
toes, like so many quadrupeds, we might
now count by Fights or by sixtecns; but
the accident of his possessing five digits
on each limb has saddled us forever with
the foolish custom of reckoning every
thing either by tens or by twenties. OuI
most advanced mathematics bear obvi-
ously on their face the marks of their
irrational and savage origin, and more
remotely recall the evolution of the race
from n many rayed mud-haunting am.

In order to prevent the vines freezing
in the great French vineyards during ex-
%ceptionally cold weather it is customary
to create large clouds of smoke around
the vines. so as to prevent radiation as
much rs possible. This is now done au-
tomatically by the aid of electricity. In
the center of the vineyard is placed a
thermometer. When the mercury in
this falls to two degrees above the
freezing point, the mercury closes
the circuit through a small galvanic bat
terry. The current starts an ignition APP
paratus, which sets fire to the heaps of
combustibles. so that if a sudden frost,
the whole vineyard in a few sec
onds is enveloped in n cloud of smoke

Remarkable Experiment iu Photography


Remarkable Experiment iu Photography.
A remarkable experiment recently
made in photography opens up n track
less and undiscovered domain i'll the
heavens. 1t beggars the widest fiction
of Verne. Some time ago II camera
charged with highly sensitivized paper
was directed at clear spot in the skies,
where the most powerful telescope de-
tccted nothing. To the surprise OF the
operator the negative showed several
stars of magnitude. This was at first
thought due to some spot or defect in the
paper, but the experiment was tried
again and again with the same result.
Some months afterward stars appeared
at the very points indicated by the
camera.
The explanation is this: Ever since
the velocity Of light has been measured
it has been known that there were
myriads of stars whose rays, travelling
with uncomfortable rapidity since the
morning of creation, had not yet reached
the earth. Every now and then n OF
these appears. The camera in the in
stance | mention had caught the first
glimpse of these newborn planets
months before their shafts of light had
penetrated space strongly enough to re-
veal them to the telescope lens.-F. p.

The plan is n simple one. A great pipo
or shaft is to be cut through the rock
close by and parallel with the Niagara
river, 100 feet deep and running half a
mile or more back from the falls. The
open end Of this little shaft or tunnel is
to empty out Of the rock at the falls a
foot or two above the level of the water
below the cascade.
Whenever a company wants water
power it may sink a vertical shaft from
the surface almost down To this hfri-
zontal shaft. In the bottom of this YER
teal shaft n turbine wheel is to be
placed, and below this a smaller shaft,
for n tail race, will carry the water from
the wheel to the great horizontal shaft,
which will then work as q waste-pipe to
carry OIL the water. In order to get the
needed water to drive the wheel it will
only be necessary TO build a short pier
OF the river shore to catch the edge OF
the swiftly-fowing current and divert a
little Of it by means of n ditch or pipe,
into the vertical shaft, and 80 past the
wheel and through the great subterra-
near shaft and back into the river again
below the falls. These vertical shafts
are to be big enough to admit IL or
two of the workmen, who must place
the turbine in position and afterward at
tend to it. 1t is said that a wheel rs big

As a successful dairyman, Z. A. Parks,
Esq. is entitled to place very near the
head. During the year 1885 he kept an
average OF % cows and sold 7ll3 IL
pounds OF butter for $780,. 10, or an aver
age OF few mills less than ~ cents a
pound There is to be added to this the
butter. cream and cheese made for his
own use, milk for the calves, etc., and the
net result is en- average Of 300 for each
COW for the year. Last year Judge Parks
sales we're over $1,000, and the preceding
year S2400; and the reduced amount for
1885 is due to the greatly reduced price Of
all farm and dairy products. A large
part OF the butter goes 10 Boston (where
Judge Parks has sold to one customer for
teirteen years. and the rest to various
points iu New England; and the present
price is 33 cents a pound considerable
more than tie retail selling price here in
st. Johnsbury. Judge Parks herd is Of
the Jersey breed--a good share full blood
and the rest high grades. He considers
the Jersey the best COW in the world for
dairy purposes, but finds great deal OF
difference between Jerseys. A poor
Jersey is no better than poor COW Of any
breed. There is no earthly reason why
hundreds more Of our farmers might not
do just as well as Judge Parks and the
record above given ought to serve as an
incentive to them to make the effort and
achieve result equally successful, -&
