Glass Eyes.

Nearly all the artificial eyes used i'll
this couE*ry are imported from Europe
Attempts have been made to manufac,
ture thecl here, but the industry has
never flourished, The finest eyes are
made in Paris, and good ones come from
Germany and Switzerland The eyes are
made of glass, and are in the shape of a
hollow hemisphere. The pupil is formed
of colored glass, and its execution re-
q1ires the greatest skill on the part of
the workman. The white of the eye is
initiated with wonderful accuracy. 1t is
of cream white, yellowish white, blue
white, or any other shade so as to exactly
match the white of the remaining real
eye. Before the final glazing is put on
small red veins are traced with pencil
on the surface. There is slight ridge
along the edges which enables the muscles
of the socket to take hold and move thu
ball.
Dealers in artificial eyes, keep them in
separate boxes, which they call the blue
box, the black box, the brown box, and
so on. These boxes contain eyes of all
sizes, from as large as marble to one
as large as pigeons egg.
A dealer in artificial eyes said: "We
fit the eyes to the sockets by heating and
softening the ball, and then cutting it
with hot scissors to the proper size and
shape. The hollow part fits over the
stump on the eye. When this is neatly
done the eye moves as readily as the
othereye, and it is difficult to tell which
one is glass. The great majority of arti
fetal eyes are used by worl1men, espe.
cially those in iron foundries, where
many eyes are put out by sparks. 1t is
seldom that woman has glass eye.
Artificial eyes are used not only to
improve the appearance, but also to pro.
tect the stump from injury, which would
be apt to affect the other eye. An arti-
fetal eye costs five dollars, and lasts from
one to five years. 1t is acted upon by the
salt of perspiration and of tears. which
aulls and roughens the surface. Fol-
this reason it is customary to take the
eye out at night, which also gives rest
to the socket. If the lachrymal duct has
not been destroyed, man can cry az
well with an artificial eye as with a good

POPULAR SCIENCE.

A French geographer reports that oil
the peaks Of the Alps, extending over a
distance Of more than $50 miles, are cas-
lily visible from the summit of the Dole,
which has an altitude of 8, 500 feet.
In a cannon foundry at Bourges,
France, electricity has been successfully
applied to mechanical purposes for more
than five years, two large movable
cranes, each weighing over twenty tons,
having been worked by electric motors
without difficulty.
The musical quality of the so-called
singing sands" of California is thought
to be easily explained by the fact that
among their coralline particles are also
small black PARTICLES, formed principally
of crystals of augite, nepheline, and
magnetic oxide of iron imbedded in a
CLASSY matrix.
A remarkable discovery, illustrating
the value of photography in the study of
solar physics, has been communicated to
the Paris academy of sciences by Mons.

lest spots ever detected there, which

the idea of an open stereoscope, ex-
planned it to Joseph L. Bates, the well
known merchant who has Just passed

Foot-and-mouth disease has recently
formed the subject of some important in
vestigations by DR.. Nosatti, the well
known Italian scientist and veterinarian.
His researched have led him to the fol-
lowing conclusions. Q) That epizootic
aphtha is not disease susceptible of de-
veloping spontaneously. (2) 1t is
not an indigenous, but an exotic disease.
60 It's nature is eminently contagious.
az Its virulent element is represented by
microbes, discovered first by Rivolta, o.
The virus can be cultivated when placed
in appropriate media, and by reducing
its virulency by successive cultures it
may become safe and proper agent of
incubation.
Perhaps no more striking illustration
of the wonderful reproductive powers of
certain insects could be given than that
contained in anew work by Mr.. Theodore
Wood, an English entomologist. It is
assumed first that 000 onhides weigh
no more collectively than single grain !;
and, secondly, that only very stout man
can weigh as much as 1000, 900 grains
Then it is found, that if multiplication
were entirely unchecked, the tenth brood
alone of the descendants of single ophis
would be equivalent in actual matter to
more than 500, 000,0 900 of very stout men

Health and Sunlight.

Health seekers should make it point
to get daily sun bath. We all under
stand the bad effect of the withdrawal of
light from plants in winter. But it is too
easily forgotten that through the dark
days of winter the human body suffers
in the same way as vegetation, and hence
needs the therapeutic agency of sunshine
in the spring to repair its wasted forces. A
writer in the last number of the american
Meteorological Magazine forcibly states the
connection between sunlight and health,
end quotes from DR.. Bells late work on
clinatology the following weighty SEN
tence: ''Free access of light favors nu-
triton and regularity of development,
and contributes to beautify the counte-
nance; while deficiency of light is usually
characterized by ugliness ricketts, and
derormity, and is fruitful source of
scrofula and consumption in any climate. +"
This statement we may add, is corrobo-
rated by fact noticed by DR.. Hammond,
that various experiments demonstrate
that the action of light is of benefit in
many conditions, anemia, chlorosis and
phthisis being among the number" 1t
is probable that one of the chief benefits
derived by invalids from winters so.
journ at Alpine or tropical resorts is due
to the larger amount of sunlight enjoyed.

How to Punish Children.

"How to punish children" said Pro-
fessor Adler, in lecture recently, sis one
of the burning questions of the day. Up
on it depends in greater degree than
people imagine the welfare of the State,
the family society, and the ethical devel-
opment of humanity itself. We should
be the physicians of our enemies; we
should profit by their hostility and lead
them to better mind by gentleness and
iirmness combined, and even chastise
them when their own good and social
advancement require it. How many
parents know how to punish children1
"a child will grow up, in nine cases out
of ten, the embodiment of the influences
that surround him. Never chastise a
child in anger. Socrates, the great pagan
philosopher, refrained from Furnishing a
slave until his passion had cooled. An
angry father sets perilous example to
his offspring. He exhibits his weakness
when he should be firm and contained.
The child drinks in the lesson, and h is
moral nature is lacerated and warped.
"How many children are spoiled by
Encouragement Parents grumble and
chide the live-long day, and never praise.
1t is wrong. Nothing so effectually
crush child's ambition to be good and
noble. The sweet appreciation of good
mother is enough to make young man
face fire and death in \ worthy cause"

will, under ordinary conditions, ensure
successful results. First of all, have your
mind thoroughly made up as TO what par
ticular phase of industry you propose to
eonfne your efforts. In reaching this
conclusion, one will need to take into ac-
count the amount of capital invested, the
kind and number of sheep he will begin
with, and the limits to which capital and
surroundings circumscribe him. If the

would soon wipe out both principal and

'boom" is on, more money will be made
from a small, well-seected flock that has
been paid for, than from larger one
from which the first returns belong to the

breeding purposes, be sure that it is better
than the best in your own flock in blood

In washing forks, spoons or cups which
have been employed in eating eggs it is
best to make an application of cold water
with mop before plunging them into
the boiling suds. Hot water cooks the
egg and thus renders it more difficult to
remove. Common table salt is said to be
excellent for removing egg tarnish from

SILK Culture.

Professor Riley, chief of the entomo
logical division, department of agricul-
ture, hitherto supposed to have been en-
thusiastic in regard to the profits of silk
culture In the United States, in a recent
issue Of the Rural Ne1o Yorker says:
The experience of the experiment sta
tons, both at Philadelphia and New
Orleans, run under the auspicies of the
department of agriculture to test the
question of profit, has not been very en-
couraging the last year. The actual cost
at Philadelphia for producing pound of
silk has been $7.5S, while the silk has
brought $40 per pound. At New Or
leans there is better showing; 3, 800
pounds of dried cocoons have been OBJ
tanned, and have brought on an average
81 per pound; 2,710 pounds have already
heen reeled, and have produced GAL
pounds of reeled silk, which has
sold at $3.50 per pound. For labor
employed in making this reeled
silk the cost has been $1.75 per pound /;
in other words, the silk reeled has cost
$6.07, and has brought but $3.50. There
has recently been decided rise in the
price of reeled silk, which would put a

this to give the pigs a start they can be
kept in thrifty condition on grass or
clover with very little grain until ready
to put up to fatten. In an orchard the
pigs will earn their way eating fallen
fruit, and thus destroying injurious IN
sects. BY this practice the value of the
pork may be nearly al credited to the

In cleaning ivies, oleanders and like
plants that are subject to scale insects,
the means employed for destroying the
the same are frequently insufficient to de-
stroy the young broods, so small as to es-

tious happenings use water in washing
plants of nearly 1870 degrees Of heat, and
by the addition of tobacco juice to give
it color like weak tea, or else whale-oil
soap or common soap to prodsce suds

which drench off the strong liquid with

"An Ohio feeder states that he has
tested the feeding of cooked and I'M
cooked corn for hogs, and also ground
and unground food. He claims that a
bushel of corn fed on the cob will pro-
duce nine pounds of pork, while an equal
quantity ground and fed raw will yield
twelve pounds. A bushel of corn boiled
made 49, pounds of pork, and bushel
of meal cooked made 16t pounds"
There is no question that the only true
and economical way of feeding or fatten-
ing swine or any other stock--is to con-
vert the grains into meal and feed jul
diciously at regular intervals as each
animal has capacity to consume and

Some time since reports reached this
country that q new textile had been dis
covered in France, which was likely to
take the place of wool to large extent
Of course this report created a good deal
of sensation in certain quarters where the
wool interests are important. Accord
ingly, United States Consul Williams, of
Rouen, France, was requested to make a
complete investigation of the matter and
report at his earliest convenience. This
report has arrived at the state depart
ment. He says that the new textile is
called Berandine, from the name of its
inventor, Maestricht workman, named
Berand. The French have made very
glowing official reports. Mr.. Williams
says that in the opinion of experts who
have since made careful examinations of
this textile, it is safe to say that it is not
likely to take the place of wool, or even
the poorest quality of wool or cotton.
Its presence in mixture of textile mate
rial increases the difficulty of spinning
to such an extent that in no instance
could it be spun fine. Its use in fabrics
of mixed thread diminishes its value by
imparting roughness and harshness to
the touch. The consul thinks that while
this textile may take modest place here
after, it is not at present calculated to
diminish the price of wool. Berandine
is claimed by experts to be the direct
product of certain peat grounds, and is
thus cheaper by far than any other known
raw textile material. The consul draws
the conclusion that the inferiority of the
textile surpasses its cheapneSs, and thus
places it low on the list of textiles. But
of course it is subject to improvement by
inventive skill, and may in the future be
an important element

A Bulgarian Amazon.

The Widdin correspondent of the S.
Petersburg N0y0Sti sends to that news
paper the following account of young
Bulgarian girl who took an active part in
the late war against Sorvia, distinguished
herself at Sliynitza and at Prot, and
received two crosses for bravery. Pre-
vious to the outbreak of hostilities she
joined company of milItia--such COM
panies were then forming in various parts
oil Bulgaria--and accompanied it to the
southern frontier with the hope of their
meeting with the enemy. During some
time she managed to conceal her sex, for
her comrades took her to be youth with
an etfeminate face, of which there were
many such to be met with among the
militia. Only the commander of her
company knew her secret; she was
obliged to disclose it to him when the
company set out upon its march, and
he appears to have Loyalty kept it to him
self In all exercises, parades and re-
views she took part jointly with her male
comrades. At last, when Servia declared
war against Bulgaria, the heroine took
part in the forced march to Servia, fought
at the battle of Slivnitza and joined in
the attack upon Prot During the fight
she did all she could to encourage her
comrades and they, in return, unani-
mously voted to her the company's medal
for bravery. When in consequence of
the war coming to an end, the militia
was dispersed, she went to Sophia, and
was there presented to Prince Alexander,
Who awarded to her second decoration
for bravery. She then returned to
Widdin, her place of domicile before the
war, where she acts as servant to an lid
lady. She says that should the Serviass
begin another war she will again fight
against them, but in her woman's attire,
for 1T is not worth while to change ones
dress for such an enemy.
