Petroleum as an msecticide. The
value of petroleum for the destruction
of insects has long been recognized.
Passing over the ordinary methods of
oil emulsiOns, experience shows that
for the ordinary practical purposes of
the farmer and fruit grower, o and
milk are among the most available sub.
stances for the production of petroleum
emulslons. Ordinary bar soap scraped
and rubbed into paste at the rate of 20
parts soap, 10 parts water, 80 parts
kerosene, and l part of fir balsam, will
make, when diluted with water, All
stable enough for practical pur-
poses, as the slight cream which in
time rises to the surface, or the tlaki-
ness that often follows is easily dissipa-
ted by a little shaking. Soap emulsions
are, however, less satisfactory and eff
i1clent than those made with milk.
Emulsions with milk may be made of
varying strength, but one OF the most
satisfactory proportions is 2 parts of re-
fined kerosene to l part of sonr milk.
This must be thoroughly churned mot
merely shaken) until a butter is formed
which is thoroughly stable and will
keep indefinitely In closed vessels and
may be diluted add libltum with water
when needed for use. The time re-
CURED to bring the butter varies with
the temperature, and both soap and
milk emulsions are facilitated by heat
ing the ingredients. Ordinary cOndens-
ed milk may also be used by thoroughly
stirring and heating 1t in an equal or
varying quantity of kerosene. The
diluted emulsion when prepared for use
be finely spi syed upon the it,
sects to be killed. its strength varying
for different insects or plants, and its
effect enhanced when brought forcibly
in contact with the insects.

1t is often very difficult and some
times impossible to remove rust from
articles made Of iron. Those which are
most thickly coated are most easily clean
ed by being immersed IN asolution, near
ly saturated, of chloride Of tin. The
length OF time to remain In this bath is
by the thickness of the
coating of rust. Generally twelve to
twenty four hours will be long enough.
The solution ought not to contain a
great excess of acid if the iron itself be
attacked. On taking them from
the bath the articles must be rinsed
first in water, then In ammonia, and
quickly dried. The iron when thus
treated Will have the appearance of
dull silver. A simple polishing gives it
its normal appearance. This process is
believed to be susceptible of numerous
and destined to render
great service in many industries.
Four-stded driving belts, made of
ropes, are reported as the latest invent
ion pertaining to the milling industry
in England. They are made in sections
and screwed together In such a manner
that the connection offers no resistance
to the pulley. The inventors claim
that this form of driving belt is more
durable and stronger than leather belts.
Their relative value so far as prices are
concerned, is not mentioned, which
to be a rather suspicious neglect
of a principal point.

A company has recently been ineor-
porated in Paris, with a capital of
$780, 00, for the purpose Of utilizing
solar heat. The invention which they
propose to develop consists OF a huge
reflector, shaped like al inverted um-
brella, lined with a huge rejecting
agent. In the centre is placed a stand
Ing boiler, made of heat ond ucting
material Of the highest power, which
receives reflected rays from all points
powerful to generate steam.
On improved knob lock has been pat
ented by a resident Of Households, N.
Y. In combination with a door knob
shaft is a key sliding in a groove there
in, which can be moved by a sleeve
a diagonal slot, into which a stud
IN the knob shaft passes, so that BY
turning the sleeve the sliding key can
be passed into a notch in the knob ring
Or rose of the lock.
What constitutes a combination of

patented by a citizen of Cincinnati, o.
The rollers may easily be detached or

For several years past the Swedish
government employed an entomologist to
the farmers In distinguishing
md destroying insects that prove hurt.
,ul to the crops. The demand for his
services has been so very great, and the
work he has done has been so very use
that the office of government ento-
nologlst is to be made a permanent
