1he Enman Intellect.

We ought to be perfectly happy that we live in this glorious age of scientific thought. We believe there never was another age in which the astronomer of Harvard observatory could propound the following problem and receive so many perfectlv reasonable answers to it: "Sup- pose," said he, that three snakes, each two feet in length, should touch each other by the tip of the tail. thus making T circle six feet in circumference. Sup DOSE that each snake should begin to swallow the one in front of him. In what way would the resultant figure, after each snake had swallowed the one in front of him, differ from the original circle?' The answers have been many and various, some of them, we are ln' formed, "entering the consideration of the fourth dimension of space" because any enc of the snakes would have fol lowed the two in front of him and vel have been swallowed by the two back oi him, and, therefore, would be both ln' side and outside of his two fellows. The man who lives in an age when men car tackle and grasp and make so clear tt
 others an idea of this sort has no busi
 ness to be going about talking ot th'
 good old times, or looking hopefully for
 ward to anything more millennlumish

Nail your boards on this in the shape of a dry goods box, using one inch pine matched and dressed boards, making double box. and fill the space between the out and inside walls with tan bark and sawdust. The bot tom should be of two inch pine plank with half inch hole bored in the center to let off the water. The ice should rest on a rack about two inches from the bot tom of the chest The cover should be made to shut tight. with small vent hole in the top. covered with fine screen to prevent flies from crawling in

p-ostrot;on from Heat,

Tie effects of undue exposure to heat vary widely. and are by no means al- ways proportionate to the temperature to which the person has been exposed. The so called sun stroke, or heat stroke, may occur either in the direct rays of the sun or in hot rooms, such as laundry rooms or the holds of steamships At Jacks may occur in the night as well as during the day, and, in general, are to be feared at times when the atmosphere Is loaded with moisture, so that free per spiration IS checked. Experience shows that the drinking of ice water, when the body is overloaded, is prolific cause of these attacks. All degrees of severity are met with, from the lightest attack of headache and dizziness to the sudden stroke which ends in death within lew minutes. Some authorities would make three distinct degrees of heat prostra- tiou, although the line is seldom dis tinctly drawn in any given case.
 The first variety includes those cases 1 which show nothing more than sudden faintness, muscular weakness and d1zZl- ness, with, perhaps, nausea and vomlt- ing. The surface of the body is cool,
 the pulse rapid and feeble. In such cases
 rest in O recumbent position in cool
 place for few hours will generally give
 relief.
 In the second class of cases, the respi
 ration and hearts action are affected, ant
 the patient may die suddenly of syncope
 Active measures must be entered upol
 at once. The patient should be removed
 to a cool spot, the clothing removed O
 loosened, and cold water applied to tn
 head. Complete recovery from the ef
 fects may not take place for years.
 The third form is the most severe, an in the majority of cases proves tata The sufferer becomes unconscious, tn | skin is dry, the pulse slow and full, tn face flushed, and the breathing laboret Generally there is entire uncorsciousnes 8 and sometimes convulsions. The ten I perature runs excessively high, and tt l first attempt should be to bring 1t to tf e normal point For this purpose col r baths and the application of ice are ind h cated. As soon as the temperature n lessened stimulation must be commence :. to counteract the great depression whlt s always follows. It is important to T 1t member that there is little danger fro n heat so long as the precipitation is fire " By bearing this in mind many who a Ie exposed might no doubt avert the thre; V ened attack by leaving work and seekil
 shelter as soon as the diminution in p' d spiration is noticed.-New Orleans Pic le yune.

 experiments and observations prove that this recommendation was quite lnsut- ficient, and that, as a rule, the roots of both old and young trees which had sui ficient room to grow freely, extended on each side to distance at least as far as the entire height of the tree, and often much farther These experiments and observations consisted of placing manure at various distances and observing their unlike and very distinct effects. Peach trees ten feet high were improved in growth by manure twelve feet away The fibers of apple, pear and dwarf pears were actually traced through the soil al equally great distances, and some of them much greater: and such trees as throw up suckers indicated in this way the great length of the roots from which they sprung. In Fig. 1 of the cut. the right angled triangles represent the length of the | tree and it's roots, some of which, &C., cording to nature. extending beyond the mathematical boundary Fig. IS plan of the ground in which the tree stands, the inner dotted circles being as far out as the extent of the branches and the outer one about or nearly as Tar as the push of the roots, showing that these
 nearly occupy several times the area com
 monly allotted to them. To produce
 the best effect, therefore, in applying
 fertilizers, these should extend over the
 whole surface, which commonly VIII
 mean that they should be cultivated
 broadcast, although benefit is obtained by a more cramped allowance.
 In transplanting trees it is necessary to cut off and leave large portion O i, roots in the ground. This operation checks the growth for a time, or unti new roots can be thrown out to repiac - the lost ones In young and vigorou - trees, this renewal is quickly accom- f plished; and as larger portion IS SC r cured on the young tree than on olde
 ones, the check is only temporary. Olde - trees lose more of their roots when take
 up. and do not restore them so soor "a hence the reason that they receive 1' longer and more formidable check of growth The only way, therefore, ths d large trees can be transplanted withol
 seriously suffering, is to shorten all tf Pt larger roots year or more beforehan' In by cutting trench at proper distan'
 around them, causing them to send o'
 new and shorter roots, which may be o. moved in place of the longer ones le h, in the ground when they are taken up.

r7s.er,,..s of ssndhin Cranes.

Several Orlando families have pet sandhill cranes. which they find alert night watchers. No tramp or thief can approach their premises without hearing a clear bugle note of alarm. Maj. Foster has q flock of cranes. He had one pair to which the wild ones paid frequent visits, and several were enticed under wire netting and their wings clipped. A farmer finds that pair of these birds are as good as two hands at keeping tho worms off his tobacco. They carefully take row after TOW, and it is sly worm that escapes the keen eyes and the sharp bills of the cranes.--Jacksonvllle (tla Cor. New York Tribune.
