A Substitute for Ice.

A Boston man has made an inven-
tiOn which acquires importance from
the mild character of the winter and
the improbability of the usual ice
harvest. BY means of certain chemi-
Gals which are placed in small tin box
this chemically filled box taking the
place of lump of ice-he is able to re-
duce the air in refrigerator to much
lower degree Of temperature than by
the use of ice. The invention has been
we'll tested and gives the most satis-
factory results. The cooling process is
rapid and is not accompanied by the
generation of moisture, as is the case
with melting ice. A glass of water
placed in the refrigerator, was found to
be frozen solid in three hours. Meat
was found after lapse of five weeks,
to be in excellent condition. Further,
1t is estimated that a box once charged
will remain an effective cooling agent
for three years.
1t is to be observed that, while this
offers substitute for ice, it does not do
away with the summer luxury. Pro-
vided with one of these boxes and re-
frigerator, man may make his own
ice in any desired quantity and on short
notice any time.

PUMPING OIL.
How the Wood County Fluid is Forced
Up to Lima.

How the Wood County Fluid is Forced
Up to Lima.
The Bairdstown, Wood county, Times
gives the following account of the man
ner in which crude petroleum is pump
ed from the Wood county we'll to Lima:
pump station No. 8, on the line of
Toledo, Columbus & Southern, about
five miles northwest of Bairdstown, is
an interesting spot to the. "yellow-ham-
mer." The motive power Of such huge
pumps is furnished by four eighty-horse
power boilers, that carry on an average
about ninety pounds of steam. Two
electric registers record the steam and
oil pressure for each hour of the day.
When We were there the pressure on
the Lima line was 975 pounds, enough
to blow gas pipe line into smitehreens.
This line is tested to a pressure of 1900
pounds to the square inch.
IA Worthington discharge pump,
with capacity of 10000 barrels per
day, forces the oil from this field to
Lima. tits powerful machine, hav-
ing a 6-inch plunger and a 26.inch
steam stroke. The power to force the
oil from the various wells to the station
is provided by two duplex suction
pumps.
I'm case of fire everything is in
readiness to controle it as rapidly as
possible. A mounted ten-pound cannon
is always ready to throw cast-iron
ball through the tank to allow the oil
to escape into area enclosed by the
levees. A steam boiler is also mounted
with which tanks threatened by fire
are filled with steam, which is a sue
cessful extinguisher."
1.-THE water for feeding the boilers
and for other purposes is secured from
a we'll 1870 feet in depth, over 100 of
which is in the lime stone rock. 1t re-
quires about 200 barrels of water per
day to supply them. They also supply
the locomotives from their well.n

Corn and Cut-Worms.


! An incident bearing on this subject
/ now undergoing a good deal Of discuss
ion In some places, may afford some
instruction TO young farmers. Some
! years ago, / planted In drills with a
planter. six acres of corn on inverted
sod; and heing absent afterward some
days did not return till the crop was
several inches high, when / discovered
/ that at last two-thirrls was destroyed by
cut-worms. There was not enough left
for half crop. AS the planter could
not be run in the same rows again,
without destroying the remaining corn
which was unwilling tn lose, direct
ed the workmen who had the field in
charge to replant by running new rows
between the old ones. "But," said he,
"this will make the rows only twenty
inches apart, so narrow that we can't
cultivate 'em." l told him we had
provision for that difficulty, and di-
rected him to go ahead. The cut-worms
had mostly gone by the time the new
rows made their appearance; and before
they had come up, directed the man
to go over the whole with the smooth
ing-harrow, the first planting being
nearly foot high. "Why," exclaimed
the man, "you will kill all the corn
that is left, to harrow right over it that
way!" He had never seen the smooth
ing-harrow before, and did not know
how it operated. He did as directed,
however, and when he came in at night,
said. "Well, have laid it-it's done
for" He supposed that by bending
over the plants he had killed them, but
admitted day or two later that they
were alright again. The operation was
repeated after the second crop was
several inches high, and the older plants
over foot. The harrow did not des-
troy one plant in fifty, and the loss of a
greater number would have been better,
as they were rather too thick. They
all grew up together, and the season
favored well ripened corn. The har-
rowings had kept the field clear of
weeds.
Iresolved next year to avoid all this
extra work by destroying the cut
worms. AS expected, these depredators
began their work as soon as the young
plants were up. 1 placed two active
men in the field, to trace at every cut
plant its destroyer and to kill it by
digging. This operation was repeated
three times in the course of a few DAYS,
till no more cut-worms were found.
The labor amounted to four full days
work, worth six dollars in all. Several
hundred cut-worms were killed, and a
full crop of corn, amounting to about
three hundred bushels, was saved. In
other words, each mans work saved
seventy-five bushels daily. This was
an extreme case; but I have always
found this the most economical way to
save the crop. Traps for catching cut
worms have proved slow, imperfect,
and less satisfactory than prompt and
ready attack. OLD FARMER.

A New York physician of large ex-
perience recently remarked that the
only harm from smoking tobacco he
had seen was that caused through
smoking cigarettes by boys. Comment
ing on this observation the Medical
Journal says:
We occasionally receive commune
cations which confirm this opinion,
and show that the habit of cigarette
smoking among boys'is becoming more
common and is working most perni-
cifus effects. The rivalry among cigar
ette-makers is now SO great that prizes
are offered to those who smoke the
most. Unfortunately, the prizes are
usually of the cheap and gaudy charac-
ter that appeals most to boyish tastes;
and, in fact, it is affirmed that boys are
the chief prize winners. There should
be some law or ordnance forbidding the
sale Of cigarettes to boys.

An Easy Problem.

Here's a simple multiplication prob.
lem that has been puzzling q good
many business college Professors and
bOok-keepers lately: Take the number
Is, multiply it by itself and you have
225. Now multiply 225 by itself. Then
multiply that product by itself and SO
on until fifteen products have been
multiplied by themselve in turn. This
question involves more labor than
would appear at first sight. 1t has
puzzled the brains of our best down.

he should make row of ciphers, as he
