Water in Organic Substances.

Few people have any idea Of the ex-
tent to which water is constituent Of
organic substances. Rather more than
pound OF water is exhaled daily by
the breath, about II pounds by the
skin, and 81 pounds by the kidneys
making the daily emissions Of water by
the body about 81 pounds-or just un.
der 8 quarts. DIR. Whitelaw tells us
that water forms three-fo fourths OF the
weight Of living animals and plants,
and covers about three-fourths Of
the earth's surface. The body OF q
man dried by Prof. Chaussler in an
oven. like brick in kiln. weighed
after desiccation only ~ pounds. The
percentage Of water in well-known ar.
ticles is surprising to those who have
not looked into the subject. The
mushroom and cucumber each contain
06 per cent. OF water; fungi and the
vinegar plant, 95; watermelon. a.;

THE USEFUL TELEPHONE.

The Fart II Is Destined to Play in the
Development OF tho Country.
1t Is certain that the telephone is to
play much more important part in
human affairs in the near future than
1t is now doing, and the immense
utility to the general public years
hence is now only very imperiectly
comprehended by the most sanguine
man among us In 1898 the telephone
will become public property, and the
only restrictions upon its utility after
that date will be those involved in the
apparatus for its use; and the more
general its employment the cheaper
will its operations and benefits become.
For obvious reasons the telephone is
capable of meeting the wants of the
people much better than the telegraph
is. especially in the sparsely settled
districts of the country, and for short
distances, and its adaptation to the ne
ccessities of the farmers will be appre-
ciated ut once.
One OF the first innovations to be
carried forward with the use of the
telephone is in connection with the
weather service. which has already
been made to play most important
and useful part in the shipping busi-
ness, and which, like the telephone,
has q usefulness for future generations
not dreamed Of by those Of the present
time. The State OF Iowa has already
made movement to establish State
weather service and make it and tho
telephone subservient to the necessi-
ties Of the farming population. 1t is
proposed to establish signal service
at each county seat, and from thence
extend daily Information to the local
inhabitants by means Of the telephone
or the telegraph, or both. Next to the
sailor, the farmer is more interested in
the weather than any body. especially
in harvest, and the benefit that would
be derived from daily knowledge OF
this kind would be immense. A com.
petent State weather service, with sig
nal stations at every county seat and
at all the principal cities, and COM
plete and cheap telephone connection
Herewith, would not only keep the
farmer advised OF the approach Of
storms, but post him on the state of
the markets and give him useful in
formation in regard to his business.
The time will come. and it is not far
distant, when the telephone will be
used as extensively in the country as
1t is now in the large cities, and the
farmer will call the village doctor. or
the undertaken, or give an order to
the butcher or the groceryman by the
use of the most wonderful of modern
inventions. Every farmhouse will be
brought into communication with every
other house in the neighborhood as
we'll as with the nearest village; the
isolation of country life in winter will
be destroyed; there will be a wire from
the home to the country school-house,
and neighbors will exchange news and
gossip, though the midwinter blizzard
RACES outside in all its fury. -Milwsu-

FISHERY TROUBLES.
Strained Relations Between New
foundland and the French.

Advices from the Bay Of st. George,
Newfoundland, represent that the re-
lations between Newfoundland and the
French fishermen on the disputed
French shore are reaching crisis.
The commander of the British war;
ship Lily has issued proclamation to
the effect that he would not permit the
Newfoundland fishermen to set their
nets to catch herring, and II they did
he would confiscate their nets. An in
dignation meeting was held, at which
strong language was used. The procla-
nation was posted up in public places,
but was quickly torn down by tho in
furiated people. St. Georges Bay is a
great herring fishing ground. There
are about 1000 people there who live
almost entirely by catching herring
and exporting them to Canada. The
French are given concurrent rights by
treaty of that part OF Newfoundland
but the claim exhausted jurisdiction
and now that they can get their bait
in another portion of Newfoundland,
they are asserting their claims OF ex-
clusiveness over the Bay OF st. George,
and supplying themselves with bait
there. Bloodshed is feared.
