Tho Value of Poetry in Canada.

A short time ago the Globe said, in
reply to correspondent, that it would
publish unobjectionable poems at the
rate Of so cents per line, nonpariel.
What We meant was that We would
charge that sum for inserting poems,
our intention being to convey deli
cate hint to the poet that the supply
OF poetry exceeded the demand. We
regret to find that several persons have
taken this paragraph seriously, and
have likewise taken it to mean that
We would, pay so cents line for
poetry. We desire TO repudiate this
Interpretation, gently but firmly, and
to express regret that our innocent
paragraph should have raised delusive
hopes. Globe.

A Terrible Explosion fn Store 70,
Us.

In the Scientific American Of July
9th appeared a paragraph in which
J.E. Thickton expresses similar ap-
prehension in respect to drilling the
earth and exhausting the natural gas
as is expressed by the following pro-
fessors in a recent 3sue OF the Popular
Science Monthly.
Professor Joseph F. Jones assumes
the earth TO be hollow sphere filed
with gaseous substance, called by us
natural gas, and he thinks that tap
ping these reservoirs will cause disas-
trous explosions, resulting from the
lighted gas coming in contact with
that which is escaping. He compares
the earth TO balloon foated and kept
distended by the gas in the interior,
which, II exhausted, will cause the
crust to collapse, affect the motion OF
the earth in its orbit, cause it to lose
its place among the heavenly bodies,
and fall in pieces.
aHOtutT WTltcE tlliIlks lilhb uIlliiHB
should be prohibited by stringent laws.
lie, too, thinks there is a possibility OF
an explosion, though from another
cause. Should such disaster occur,
1.-the country along the gas belt from
Toledo through Ohio, Indiana and
Kentucky will be ripped up TO the
depth Of 200 or 800 feet and Topped
over like pancake, leaving chasm
through which the waters of Lake
Erie will come down, filling the Ohio
and Mississippi valleys, and blotting
them out forever"
Still another theorist has investi-
gated the gas wells with telephones
and delicate thermometers, and he an
nounces startling discoveries. lie dis
tinguished sounds like the boiling OF
rocks, and estimated that mile and
a half or so beneath the Ohio and In
diana gas field the temperature Of the
earth is 3 800 degrees.
The scientist says an immense cav
ity exists, and that here the gas is
stored that mile below the bottom
OF the cavity is a mass OF roaring,
seething fame, which is gradually eat
ing into the rock floor OF the cavern
aud thinning ii. Eventually the
flames will reach the gas, and ter
rife explosion will ensue.

The Largest diamond.

The largest cut diamond in the
world is now at the Paris Exposition.
The Prince of Wales recently christ
ened it the Imperial. 1t was found in
South Africa in 1885, and was taken at
once to Amsterdam, where it was be-
ing cut and polished for year and a
half. The Regent, formerly the
largest known diamond, weighs 1877
ccarats, and is valued at $4,000, 900
francs. The Imperial weighs $50 car

FARM AND FIRESlDE.

1t is the exception rather than the
rule that specialties in farming pays.
Under average Conditions mixed farm
ing is the most profitable.
Some of the most expert poultry
men occasionally feed their fowls tur-
nips in winter. They are not peeled,
but cut into quarters and thrown into
the yard.
Cork Cake: One and one-haf cups
sugar, one cup of warm water, three
eggs. two cups of -four. and two tea
spoonfuls of baking powder.
Because in the aggregate the farm
stock has paid should not be satisfac-
tory. 1t is important to know not only
which kinds of stock, but which ami
mails pay the largest per cent. of profit.
"A healthful and appetizing salad
is made by chopping fine one pint
onions and tomatoes, salt and pepper,
and mix in two hard-boiled eggs shred
fine, then pour over it all three table
spoonfuls good vinegar and four of
salad oil well mixed.
"A swamp that contains muck may
be protitably cleaned. plowed and
used for a celery bed. 1t may require
two or three years to get it in proper
condition for the purpose, but once it
has been cultivated it will be one of
the best locations for celery that can
be had.
For tin roofs the best paint is q
metallic one which oxidizes with the
linseed Oil, and having an affinity for
the metal adheres firmly. The brown
iron oxide paint with boiled linseed
oil makes the best roofing paint, and if
put on after the new roof has become a
little rusty and it is renewed once in
five years it is the most durable of all
coverings. NeW Yorker.
1t will cost but little to keep the
surface OF the ground around young
trees sprinkled with fine lime. Many
insects will avoid the lime, and on
some soils the lime will prove bene-
fetal. An excellent mixture for such
purposes is two parts wood ashes, one
part lime, and one part coarse salt.
Only small quantity need be used at
each application.
-Escalloped Eggs: Take pieces that
are left of ham, chop very fine. Add
about the same quantity of bread
crumbs, some pepper, salt and little
butter. Moisten with milk to a soft
paste and half fill small patty pans
with the mixture. Break an egg en-
top of each. Pepper, salt and butter,
and sprinkle with finely powdered
cracker crumbs. Bake ten minutes.
To be eaten hot.-Albanu Journal.
