A Heavy Weight of Smoke.

The Investigations of society formed
in London to abate the smoke nuisance
afforded rather startling idea of the
wosteful extravaganza of the present
system of combustion. Here is a sum-
mary of a late report of the Smoke
Abatement Institutes The weight of
the smoke cloud over the city is esti-
mated at about 30 tons of solid carbon
and 250 tons of hydro carbon and
carbonic oxide gases. From actual tests,
the value of coal actually wasted through
the obstinacy of the Cockneys is 60, 251 =
500, or AZ per cent. of the amount ex-
PENDED for coal in London, that being
the percentage of heat that escapes up
chimney without warming anybody
This waste also causes a useless expendi-
ture of e2GS, 750 for carting coal, to say
nothing of the wear and tear of streets
and of e43, 600 more for carting away
ashes. Altogether, about e2, 500, 600
is yearly thrown away in London. Add
TO this co, 600, 900 for injury to property
from the smoke laden atmosphere, and
there is shown total of "a, 500, 900
which London annually loses because of
its failure to burn coal under proper con-
ditious. Nearly all this waste and SIN oke
could be prevented " ageneral adoption
of improved methods of constructing
chimneys, fireplaces, furnaces and heaters.

Garnet in Alaska.

The extensive garnet lodges at Fort
Wraugcll are an inexhaustiblc source of
beautiful and ornamental curiosities.
The cropping of the ledge is about ten
feet wide, standing perpendicularly and
RAINING northeast and southwest several
miles in length; the depth OF 1t no man
has ever found out. The rock is Of n
mica slate formation, and contains from
two TO four dozen garnets to the cubic
foot. The gems are regular polygons
beautiful in color, and when fresh from
the mines have a dashing and brilliant
lustre; but when exposed for n time they
become dull and opaque. The crystal
varies in dimensions from the size OF a
pea to that of a hens egg, and to tho
novice are quite fascinating and have the
appearance of much value for ornament
nj and other purposes. The lapidarics,
however, have failed to utilize them for
any purpose whatever, except as curio
and to demonstrate the certainty of the
unerrlng law Of Nature which governs
every phenomenon. Every plain of the
polygon is of the same form every
angle of the same degree, and every gem
is the equal and like of its fellow. The
mining and shipment of this rock has
become quite a business. Ii is worth
500 per ton on the wharf at Fort Wran-
gell, and is shipped to all parts of the
country to fill the cabinets of the
wealthy, and the collections in public in
stitutions. Detroit Free Press.

When 70 Cnt Timber

The best time to cut timber is when the
foliage is mature, or in September, be-
fore it is in ured by frost; the tree is
left intact with branches and leaves un-
disturbed, so that the sap is evaporated
completely through the leaves. When
the leaves are dried and withered the
tree is cut up. The timber is then free
from sap The bark should then be re-
moved, and the tree cut up as intended.
If logs are made, these should be put
into water, as a pond, but better in a
running stream, until winter, when they
are sawed up or split into posts. The
lumber or posts thus made should be
piled up loosely to dry, and will season
very quickly. Timber so prepared has
been found as durable as that which has
been treated with antiseptic prepara-
tions. Fence posts are made very dura-
BILE by saturating the ground part in
Stacking lime, by standing them on end
in pit with fresh quicklime about
them, and then pouring water to slack
the lime. The heat drives out air from
the pores of the wood and coagulates the
albumen; and in cooling the lime solu-
tion is forced into the wood and causes
it to resist decay. When setting posts
the holes should be made large and filled
with stones rammed hard, among which
air may circulate and assist in keeping
the wood from saturation with water,
and in drying quickly after rain.-NeH
York Times.

FARM AND GARDEN.
OIL NIenl nnr Colts

An Ohio stock farmer states that he
has been using oil meal for some two OF
three years, and thinks it excellent for
cows giving milk, mixed with hip.stuiT,
and for colts that have just been weaned.
Last fall he weaned three colts, and be.
gan TO feed some oats, and when cold
weather came on added some oil meal
He has got up to one bushel of oats and
a half-gallon of oil meal per day, which
is as high as he will go as long as they
look as we'll as they do now. They run
to hay at their pleasure, being out of
doors all the time. He has Clyde mare

sunflowers and Malaria.

The planting of sunhowers as an anti
dote to malaria has been recommended
by several persons who believe in its
efficacy in this direction. The various
species of the eucalyptus, a tree which
grows to immense proportions, and covers
large areas in Van Diemen's Land aud
Australia, have also been recommended
for the same purpose. No adequate
scientific explanation of the supposed
belief in the sanitary and antiseptic
nature of these plants had been given
until recently, when DR.. c. T. Kingzett,
who has investigated the nature of
camphor and other essential oils, dis
covered that these oils undergo a
process of oxidation, in which peroxide
of hydrogen, or oxidized water, which
is most active antiseptic, is given off.
The essential oil of some species of the
eucalyptus and of various pines have this
property, and as they are given off in
enormous quantity in large forests, the
product has an important influence in
destroying noxious impurities in the
atmosphere which we call malaria. DIR.
Kingzett figures out the quantity of es-
sential oil existing at any one moment in
the leaves of the Australian forests at
nearly /, 600, 900, 600 gallons, from which
92, 7S5, ,023 tons of hydrogen peroxide
can be given off. This large quantity
can be usefully diffused over a very ex-
tensive area.
The evaporation of essential oil from
pine forests is known TO exert a health
full effect, but so far nothing has been
learned in favor OF the sunfower's claim
TO any hygienic or antiseptic agency.
DIR. Kingzett failed to procure any hy-
drogen peroxide from this plant, but as
the oil is taken from the seeds and not
from the leaves, this may possibly account
for the failure, as the active principle in
the pines and eucalyptus is contained in
the leaves. Nevertheless, as sunfowers
are useful for various purposes, as for
the seed when ground with bran or oats
for feeding, the leaves for fodder and
the stalks for fuel, farmers who are
forced to live where malaria prevails
may plant as many as they think proper
and find comfort, if nothing more, in the
belief that by so doing they may evade
the disagreeable effects of a poisonous
atmosphere York Times.

almost worthless, except for hogs. If
you want a spreading, symmetrical tree,
give it room to spread. Think of some
forest tree you have seen growing in
some old pasture field in an Eastern State !;
compare it with the trees of the wood
that are crowded together, and you can
get pretty good idea how a full. l.grown
apple tree will look if it has room"
Planting a screen around each orchard,
at least forty feet removed from it, mot
to modify temperature, but TO prevent
the trees from getting leaning position
while growing and TO keep the fruit
from being blown off," is another item
of good advice; aud beginners are urged
against "being persuaded to sow grass
seed of any kind before the trees come
into bearing. Cultivate the ground in
some hoed crop each year until the fruit
appears pretty plentifully. ."-Ne'O York

Roomy Orchards.

Mr.. John Rutledge, who moved to
Taylor County, Iowa, "before there was
a beaGng orchard in il, and became a
successful fruit-grower, gives, through
Tie Farn(rs' ReUieD, excellent counsel
based on eXperience-his own and that
Of many others in his locality-against
close setting of apple trees:
Don't plant closer than thirty feet
each way plant wider, even thirty-two
feet rather than closer, unless you want
TO economize land you might plant some
of the narrow uprigin growers such as
any intelligent nurseryman can name) a
little closer, say twenty-four or twenty
five feet each way, and this, | think,
would be a good idea to assort the trees
and plant all such varieties together.
When / planted my orchard twenty-five
years ago l followed the advice Of the
early pomologists Of Iowa aud planted
close, about lGx20. Various arguments
were advanced in support of this theory,
which seemed plausible, but now the
mistake is apparent. II half Of my trees
were removed there would be plenty left,
but this cannot be done without taking
varieties that | would not like TO spare. y
The sufficient reason for liberal spac
ing are set forth as follows:
''rrees planted too close will soon rur
together, and make it difficult to ge
through with team, and after they be
gin TO crowd each other they will be
gin 10 make a kind of an unnatura
upward growth, and all the fruit YOU &c
that is Of any value will be on the top o
the tree. 1t is very difficult TO gather /
you pick it, and if you let it drop il viii
be badly bruised by coming in cOntac
with the spreading limbs below. All tn
fruit that the lower limbs bear will b
