Advantages Of Black Skin.

In considering the use of a naturally
or artificially black skin we should not
look so much to the requirements of
the surface, which is constructed to
bear variations, and has the means Of
cooling and maintaining a proper tenn
perature within itself, but rather we
should consider the far more delicate
tissues beneath. We all know how
translucent flesh is to strong light, and
it can hardly be doubted that the rays
of a tropical sun would light upa white
mans inside considerably, whereas
black skin would stop out the solar
energy of light, heat, and chemical
rays eflectually. Skin heat is of no
importance, as perspiration can always
keep that down. May not the oiling
of the skin in hot countries be partly to
make it reflective. so that 1t should alb
sorb less heatP And may not the regard
white races have for clothing be partly
for the purpose of keeping the insides
of their bodies sufficiently in the dark

CLOVER-SICK SOILS.
How to Give Certainty to the Growth Of

How to Give Certainty to the Growth Of
Glover and to Increase Its Yield.
The following was written in reply
to a letter sent to the New Jersey En-
pertinent Station inquiring what could
be done to give more certainty to the
growth of clover and to increase its
yield:
There Is much complaint among
| farmers in all parts of the country
where clover is grown that the seed
does not take as well as itdid formerly,
and that the crop is much more likely
to fail than in former years. This
| failure of the clover crop has also be-
come a serious damage to farmers in
| foreign countries. There it is attriD-
uted to the land having been cropped
with clover till it is said to be clover
sick. No certain cure for this condi-
ton of the soil has been found, though
many experiments have been made.
The most plausible hypothesis is that
the soil and subsoil are exhausted of
lime, magnesia, potash and soda,
which are taken out of them in large
quantities by the growing clover. This
Is not proved to be the cause of
the failure of the crop, but
IN the absence of any thing
better it would be well to consider it
probable and make an experiment to
test it. For this purpose the most con-
venient fertilizers to use would be
kainit and plaster, as they would sup
ply all the missing constituents men.

The Only Art Which Fools ana

The milkmaids of the Highlands Of

ramel-driver often stimulates his IA
tigued beast to step out with renewed
yigor by playing on an instrument.
Seals have been known to follow n boat
in which some one was playing, and
hunters often take advantage OF the
animals musical taste.
Darwin, generalizing from these and
similar facts, says that 'tnc perception,
if not the enjoyment, of musical ca
dences and rhythm is probably common
to all animals"
II does seem that music is the only
art which animals, fools and idiots are
able to appreciate, and the explanation
is, probably, that music rests on a
physical basis ommon to all living
creatures.
Some animals show a liking for GER
tain musical sounds, and a dislike to
others. A lamb is mentioned by Rev.
j.. G. Wood which delighted in lively
tunes, but abhorred slow compositions.
1t would show its pleasure when a polka
was played, but the moment it heard
"God Save the Queen" it would set NJ
a continuous baa-baa, and silence the
musicians by provoking laughter.
