WEATHER AND FARM The past ten
days have been very favorable to farm
work; no rain, and the temperature
vas all that could be asked for in the
rapid growth of vegetation. Good
stands are reported from the early plant
ing of corn. Much more has been plant
ed during the past week, and not few
have made their first planting OF cotton.
Sweet potato planting has also been
generalSDnd large crop of these snccn-
lent tubers will doubtless be made.
If the weather continues as favorable
for the next two or three weeks the
greater part of the corn and cotton crop
will be seeded down and the first plant
ing of corn hoed out. Rice planting is
going on and much of this important
cereal ia already up and doing well.

FLIES AND CONSUMPTION.
Can the Disease be Communicated by This
Insect?

Can the Disease b" Communicated by This
Insect?
A number Of very interesting eX-
periments were made by Spillman and
Haushalter recently, with view to as
certain what if any, probability there
was of consumption being propagated
by the common housc-hy. In n report
just made TO the Academy of Sciences,
Paris, they emboiy the results OF their
experiments. hlowing the interest
readers have in every thing that per-
tains to the cause OF this drelded dis
ease, we briefly state the following in
regard TO their observations: They
made repeated exam nations of the ex-
crement and of the contents of the in
testincs OF the flies that fed upon the
spit-cups containing the sputa Of con-
sumptive patients. They invariably
found present in this eXcrcmentitious
matter the bacillus of tuberculosis, the
demonstrated contagious principle of
consumption. They also found these
bacilli present in the dried eXcrement
of the flies as it was scraped from the
walls and windows of the rooms occu-
pied by oonsumptives. Ii has been
well demonstrated that these germs
possess wonderful tenacity of life,
and they suggest, in their report.
how easily the air or food and drink
may become polluted by the dried re-
mains, or dried eXcrement of flies
having access to the sputu of con-
sumptivc patients. They further sug-
gest in their report that u suitable. re-
ceptive soil, is quite us necessary as a
suitable seed for successful implanta-
The practical deduction from these
experiments is the great importance
of promptly and effectively disinfect-
ing the sputa and spit-cups of these
unfortunate patients-either by the
complete destruction of the sputa by
fire, or by strong solution of corro-
sive sublimate, or of picnic acid This
report, and the practical deductions
therefrom, only more strongly con-
firm us in the opinion that too great
otVio can hop bo oDoSiNcu III tlle eA-
posure of the well TO this disease
that consumptives ought not to cast
their eXpectorated matter upon the
ground and upon the floor of churches
and public halls, to be dessicated and
set ailoat in the air, to bo breathed
into the lungs, and to contaminate our
food and drink. Then. too, greater
conveniences should be provided for
such cases by the railroads in the pas
senger coaches. AS it is, almost in
variably the sputa is thrown upon the
iloor-more or less becomes dried
and adherent, and then later set aGoat

What Constitutes Public Nuisance, Ac-
cOr.:inE to English Views.
In general the law of England does
not prevent "A man putting himself in
peril of his life ii he does not mean to
lose it. If, however, he exercises this
right so as to bring about what the law
considers a public nuisance he exceeds
the law. What constitutes a public
nuisance is largely Il matter of degree.
Walking on the higa rope at the Crys-
tai Palace would clearly be lawful, as
fall would be an accident. A fixed
balloon has been enjoincl as a nuisance
at the suit of neighboring proprietors;
but ballooning in free air is
lawful, subject only to the tech
nical trespass committed on occu-
piers OF the earth beneath and to
the actual trespass in descending. For
man in pursuit of pecuniary gain to
fall twice week from parachute in
mid air from Il balloon left empty of
gas behind him, constitutes such
combination Of danger to himself in
jury to the adjoining population, and
Generalization OF all within sight as
would amount in law TO public nui-
sance. As TO its prevention, it would
be unlawful TO stop Macomo from his
business; but it would be
lawful to hold back an
amateur who for q bet was stepping
into the lions den. The difference be-
tween the lion tanner and the balloon
ist in question is IL question of degree.

piled TO them, and this application OF
beat depends upon the materials which
are used and upon the product which
il is wished to obtain. The more COM
plete the vitrihca,ion, the more
precious is the aspect OF the object.
Take for instance, Q piece of glass, u
piece OF roclSrcrystal aud u diamonds;
place them side by side, and compare
the three objects aud the sensa-
tions which they produce on
the eye. The diamond will
evidently give the greatest pleasure.
WhyP Because it reflects more lumin-
Gus rays than roci;-ciystal or glass,
and the eye being organized to enjoy
light, receives from the diamond u
greater sensation OF pleasure. But
why does the diamond reflect moro
luminous rays than the other two OBJ
jectsP Because the diamond is moro
compact moro dense, more homogene-
Gus, and it Is more homogeneous be-
cause it has been TRANSMITTED ut a high
er Temperatures Now if we substitute
for these trans-lucid objects ceramic
objects. we shall find that the sensation
of pleasure conveyed by them to the
eye varies according as the vitrifica-
tion OF the piece is more or less COM
plete; or, in other words, the higher
the temperature at which the piece has
been transmitted, the more analogous
will its aspect be to that of precious
stone. We may base our material
classification of ceramics on this sci
entiiic fact, and assign them grade
accordingly, and this classification we
shall find justified by the instructive
and traditional preference of connois-
seurs, who can imagine nothing finer
than that old Chinese translucid porce-
lain which may be compared to jade;
than that blue porcelain which n Chi
nese poet has described as "blue like
the sky, thin us paper, brilliant as
mirror;' or than that white porcelain
of which another Chinese poet cele-
brates the "plaintive sonority," and
the "whiteness surprising the white
ness of snow" Theodore Chiid, in

THE ENGLISH MADRloAL.
\ Pranch of Music in which the Britons
Have Never Been Exceled.

Have Never Been Exceled.
We picture to ourselves thenold halls
of England in the times Of good Queen
Bess; stately danes and gallant cour-
tiers rise before our eyes; hoops and
ruifs, doublets and hose, make brilliant
coloring against oak panels, with here
and there the gliston Of armor, and,
that nothing may be lacking to this
brilliant spectacle, there is also
brilliant sound. Some such madrigal
as Morley's "Now is the Month of May
ing" flows on with its rare feeling OF
revelry, from no musical hirelings, but
from the gay throng itself, proud to do
honor to the English art of the day, to
that music in which we stand now as
as we stood then---in the first and fore
most rank as composers. Where should
we find such n gathering to give us
that beautiful lovc-lorn, pastoral or
merry-mal5ing music at the present
day? Instead of that we spend E500
on a concert to give supposed salts
faction to similar assembly, often
with very dire result musically, lit
tie remaining TO us of the evening but
a general sense OF hurry as we scuffle
on to something else, neither place,
people, nor performance having given
us the slightest qualification. One OF
the simplest methods for the cultiva-
tion of musical taste we believe to be
general participation in il when it
forms an evenings entertainment.
Why is u ball so much the most popu-
lar form of gatheringP Because every
one has his or her active share in the
evenings proceedings. VIII the time
will give us part music, as we have
reason TO believe it was given in the
time of Eiizabeth?- ?-when the number
of clels, too, used by composers, must
have doubled ordinary musical studyp

reading of them nowadays! Then no.
body cared for solo-3inging; the ingenu-
ity displayed in writing vocal music in
many parts was eagerly welcomed by
the court and by the country, and to
excel in the production and perform
ance of such music was the highest
ambition alike of the musician and the
amateur. Coming at II date when all
that was great in poetry lay, as it
were, before them, assisted by the real
encouragement of Elizabeth, not only
as queen, but as musician Gf she
ever performed half the pieces con-
tained in her Virginal book), our
madrigal writer's were determined that
the sister art should not be "a whit be-
hind the age in which il lived, and in
deed they succeeded in heir ambition.
In this particular branch of music the
English have never been eXceled, or,
we venture 10 think, equalcd by other
nations. For period of fifty years
madrigals led the way in music in En-
gland, and were almost all for which
popular taste asked. Their birthplace
was, of course Italy and the Neither
lands. but it was the English composers
who obtained for them the important
position they held then and continue to
hold in the music OF all ages.
