ALUM FOR BAD WATER.
Important Discoveries Made In the Cours
Of Scientific Experiments.

Important Discoveries Made In the Course
OF Scientific Experiments.
The use Of alum to clear muddy
water has long been known, but Prof.
LIE, DIS, in the course of an investigation
on an outbreak of the typhoid fever at
Mount Holly, discovered another value
in the use of alum. which, If his
observation proves correct may be
very important He found that the
water which was supplied to the in.
habitanls of Mount H lily was swarm
ing with bacteria. about fifteen drops
being capable Of forming8 100 colonies
of these microscopic vegetal germs
when spread upon suitable surface.
H tried the exper ment of adding a
minute amount of alum TO this
water in the proportion of only
half grain to gallon, a"d found
thai not only was the dirt and
colorlng matter precipitated, but
that instead of the same quantity Of
water containing s 100 colonies of
bacteria, it contained only 80, and
these were all of large form.
On tiltering the water through two
thicknesses of filtering paper, he found
that the water contained no bacteria,
but was "as sterile as if it had been
subject to prolonged boiling" This
amount If alum is too small to be evil
dent to the taste, and is not harmful
to health. If his observations shall re.
main unrefuted, they may form a
valuable method of purifying polluted
drinking water. OF course, it does not
follow that, because bacteria are re.
moved, therefore the obscure cause Of
diseases due to impure drinking water
is also removed; but bacteria and these
diseases appear TO be coincident even
if not linked almost as cause and Of.
feet, according to modern theories,
and it is not too much TO hope that il
the bacteria are removed, the virus Of
these diseases will be removed with
them - Philadelphia Ledge

IMPROVED CORN CRIBS.
How They Are Cons tructed and Protected
From Rats and Mice.

How They Are Cons tructed and Protected
From Rats and Mice.
Three or four new corn Grips were
lately being built at Oak Grove farm
for storing the corn grown upon the
ffty-fve-acre corn-field. The cribs
are set upon posts firmly planted in
the earth, with about four feet above
the surface. U 'on these heavy cross
pieces are placed for supporting the
sills which are thirty feet long and
four feet apart. The plates are eight
feet apart which gives roof that af-
fords ample protection to the sides of
the crib and its contents. There are
joists running lengthwise for mailing
the upright Siding boards in the mid
die, between the stills and plates.
The plates are held from spreading by
strips of board nailed to each, across
on level with the foot of the rafters.
The rafters are five and half feet
long made by splitting two by four
ioists. The sliding boards are
four and half inch floor
boards, split with rip saw
into two and y quarter inch Stats.
These are nailed just near enough to
keep ears of corn from falling through.
The roof is covered with the best
quality pine clapboards nailed directly
to the rafters. The whole is we'll
painted, as are all the farm buildings.
from sill to ridge pole. These cribs
will each hold one thousand two hun
dred bushels of cars, and from pre-
vious observations of similar structures
at the West, the corn will dry and
keep in them perfectly. This kind of
crib is also rat and mice proof. par
ticularly if tin pans. bottom up are
placed on the posts. The crib must
not be near enough to any tree. fence
or building, for rats to jump into the
crib. AS they can not climb up the
posts higher than the tin pans, the
crib is sure to be rat and mice proof
The steps leading to the crib should be
movable ones, that can be folded OF
pulled up inside the crib when not in
use. - Chicago Her AID

The Republican convention on

BENJAMIN Harrison of Indiana and
for Vice-president Levi p. Morton OF
New York. This was accomplished
after two cablegrams from Mr.. Blaine
requesting his friends to refrain from
voting for him. The ticket nomina-
ted, is conceded even by opponents to
be strong one and claimed by the
friends of protection as sure OF cleo
ton. Gen. Harrison has a reputa-
ton beyond reproach. He was a
soldier and a brave one. he IS a
lawyer, very industrious and in the
front rank. In 1856 though u mere
stripping he met the champion demo-
crat Thomas Hendrick in joint debate.
He is a conservative man in tempcra-
ment and disposition, and like his
opponent Mr.. Cleveland, is Pres
byterian. Hon. Levi z. Morton is a
banker, connected with the reliable
firms of Morton, Bliss & Co. of New
York and Morton, Rose & Co. Lon

York he is very popular He was

strong men

James G. Blaine has proven him
self as great in magnanimity as he is
in learning, experience and states
manship. His patriotism to the prin-
ciples Of his party proved stronger
than his ambition to be president OF
the greatest nation on earth. He
could have been the president of six
ty millions of free people, but rather
than take away the chances ofothers,
he remains a private citizen OF his
country. He has yielded up self to
his cause, and can never be classed
with the personalism Of, either Bona
parte or a Boulanger. He could have
been nominated by majority at any
moment. but he deemed it a higher
devotion to manhood and principle
to meet the suspicious and aspersions
of opponents with the greatest of sac
rifces-the denial of self To say
no, in tile face ofsuch temptation, IS
the subhmity of strength of char
acter that cannot be equalled and
