A Hero or Chemistry.

DIR. Gottcrman, Of the University oi
Gottingen, has enrolled himself among
the heroes Of chemistry. Chloride OF
nitrogen N. Cl. ., discovered in 1919
by DuIong, Is one Of the most terrible
explosives known TO science. II has al.
WAYS been supposed that It's elements
were in the proportion now proved be.
yond doubt, but no one dared 10 con.
firm il. Dulong himself, whose diseoy.
cry was accidental, suffered the loss OF
an eve and three fingers, aud since that
nothing more positive has been learned
about il. DR.. Gottermann, in the pros.
ecutiun Of his examination, was com.
PEELED to wear especially prepared gloves,
protect his eyes with thick glasses and
the greater part Of his body with two
thick window pancs, from behind which
he watched the substance. No accident
happened, and he was able 10 prove, after
d protractcd analysis, drying. etc, that
the formula, n. Il. 3, Is correct-one
atom Of nitrogen 10 three Of chlorine.
lie further observed that y. Cl. doei
not explode in the dark or twilight, but
q ray Of sunshine will cause almost in.
stant explosion. This knowiedgc, will
enable chemists 10 handle the substance
with comparative impunity. Dr. G0tter.
mann Is heralded as one Of the coming
scientific stars. Bunsen, being nearly
eighty years Of age, and Hoffman well on
20 seventy, will both soon retire, and
one Of their places will probably be given
10 Dr. Gottcrmann. .~- GtObs Dtmocrut.

TheClay Pipe.

ssThe clay used in making pipes, Is
obtained chiefly from pits located in
New Jersey, although there is large bed
OF clay being worked at Glen Cove, L. /.
The clay costs SO q ton at tho mines,
but, with freight charges, &c,, il amounts
TO about $5 per ton before it IL landed at
the factory. As soon as it arrives the
clay is spread out and seasoned by being
exposed to the heat OF the sun, which
generally occupies several days. Ii is
then mixed with water and passed throu-
oh mill, which crushes it and removes
the stones and grift which cling 70 the
crude clay. IL is then kneaded witt, the
hands In the same manner in which
bread is kneaded, and carefully freed
from all foreign substances.
'After the clay has been brought TO
the proper consistency IL is carried to q
workman called roller, who sits before
bench, on the top Of which lies q
q smooth, square board. In making o
pipe the roller takes in each hand a
small lump Of the fresh clay and deity
rolls il out TO the desired length and
thickness leaving knob.like lumpat the
end OF each piece, which latter 10 form
ed into the bowl Of tho pipe.
"At this stage Of its manufacture the
half.made pipe is laid upon q measure,
which marks the regulation length OF
the stem. II the latter has been made
too long il is then clipped of. When q
dozen pipes have been Thus formed they
are passed to another workman, who sits
at a complicated machine, in which the
pipes arc further manipulated. The man
at the machine first oils the clay, after
which h0 places the rudely. shaped pipes
in a mould and inserts an oiled and
polished wire through the stems, max
ing the aperture through which the
smoke is drawn in using. The mould Is
then placed in the machine and the SUI
perflnous clay is forced out.
"The pipes have now taken on their
final shape and are laid in the sun to
dry, after which they are polished and
put in a large earthen receptacle called
'saggcr, which is covered and arrang'
ed with dozen other saggersin the kiln.
The door Of the kiln is then securely
fastened, and the fire, which is fed with
charcoal and coke, is started and kept al
a white heat for fifteen or twenty hours.
The fire is then allowed 10 die out slowly
and when quite extinguished tho doors
are opened, tho saggers allowed TO cool
and their contents examined. The pipes,
which before were OF a duh blue colol
and very limp and soft have become per
fectiy white and hard. The finished
pines that have been examined and
found perfect are carefully packed in
barrels aud boxes, andare then ready FOL
shipment.

DisIocation OF tne Hin Jolnt.

IN cases OF dislocation of the hip join,
the first thing to be doae is to restore
the limb to its proper position, which
can usually be done very quickly if sew.
erai men take hold of the limb and pull
Il out so that the. joint can be replcced
by sudden movement and pressure on
the thigh bones. Then give the animal
rest, using sling if necessary to relieve
the weight on the injured leg. Then
proceed to fomont the hip with thick
rugs or any thick cloth, and after the in
tiammation has subsidized apply blister
or some liniment containing ammonia or
chloroform. The animal will need a
long period Of rest to effect permanent
cure. The hip should be rubbed daily
even after you have ceased to apply lini-
ments, in order to prevent the wasting
away of the flesh over the injured joint.
The rubbing causes an increase in the
circulation of the blood in affected parts.

Save the Plums.

a "Veteran Fruitgrower" says in the
New York 1r2NRe: "The curculio, so
destructive of the smooth.stone fruit
land injurious to early apples and pears)
is small insect fourth OF an inch long,
resembling in size and appearance a ripe
hempseed. As soon as the flowers drop
from the plum and apricot, it begins its
work, by making q small crescent shaped
puncture in the young fIuit, now no
larger than a pea. into this puncture il
thrusts its egg. which soon matches, aud
the young larya enters the fruit, eatsand
grows, and destroys its value. The
smaller plums and those first attacked
fall to the ground. The remedy (Which
Is better than all the many Others ever
proposed and tested, aud which is based
on fifty years of successful experiencel
consists Of killing the insects before they
have done much harm, by iarring down
on white sheets, aud pinching them be-
tween thumb and finger. To make the
Earring etfectual, insert an iron plug as
long as ones finger into hole bored
laterally in the trunk at the centre OF the
head, or If the tree be large, into each
main branch, and strike with heavy
hammer on the plug. The heavy jar
loosens the hold Of every curcu!io, and it
falls on the sheet below, is easily seen on
tbe white surface and is quickly dis
patched. The best form Of the sheet is
q piece about two yards wide and long,
stretched on light frame, to be carried
on the operators left arm with the ham
mer in his right hand. He holds tho
sheet first under one side, then under
the other, with n sharp blow Of the ham.
mer each time, followed with the finish
ing pinch OF thumb and finger.
As soon as the blossoms drop and the
plums are as large as small peas, the
crescent marks will be seen, and the
work must be begun, going over every
tree early in the morning. without inter-
mission, for about three weeks. Some.
times when the insects s.e most abun
dsnt, ten or fifteen may be found at q
time on a single tree, but by the contin-
ued jarring day after day, they will
gradually diminish to one or tao OF none
Orchards containing forty or fifty plum
trees, the cr0ps OF which were so nearly
ruined By this inset that not a peck OF
good fruit remained. have been so COM
pletely protected by this process that
after the destruction Of several hundred
insects, the trees were afterward seen
loaded and bending under their heavy
crops Of purple and golden fri: the cost
Of defending which did not amount to
more than six cents years for each tree.
The common mistakes made in de.
stroying the curculio are I. Striking the
limbs with 4 mallet which has been
padded with cotton 10 prevent bruisiDg
the bark. The blow 10 thus softencd,
and but few of the insects fall; on the
inserted iron plug, one sharp blow brings
down every one. 2. Spreading sheets
on the wet ground, with boys to carry
them from tree to tree. With light rods
TO stretch one large sheet, and a central
cross rod for the operator TO carry on his
left arm, he needs no help and keeps tho
sheet dry and clean. 3. Beginning the
work too late In the season, after most
Of the plums have been puncturcd, inter.
uniting II, and stopping too soon.
