Testing the Hardness of Waters

A rapid method for ascertainiug the
amount Of lime and sodlim carbonate
necessary to soften a hard water HIS
been devised by NJ. l.. Vignon. 1t gives
satisfactory results iE waters which do
not contain large quantity of magne-
SUM chloride or sulphatc. He employs 4
standard solution of lime for titrating the
water using an alcoholic solution of phe-
mol phthalein as an indicator. The volume
of lime water added is q measure Of the
lime required 60 combine with the free
carbonic acid present in the water, and
that necessary to convert the hydrogen
calcium carbonate and hydrogen magne-
SUM carbonate into insoluble salts. On
filtering off the precipitate formed in this
way from 100 c. C. of the water under
examination, the filtrate is titrated with
q solution of sodium carbonate contain
ing one gram per liter, phenol-phthalein
again being used to indicate the end of
of the reaction. The amount Of sodium
carbonate required will give the guam
tity of salts Of calcium and magnesium
other than acid carbonate present in the

Abrnham,s Oak.

The old oak at Mamre in Syria, or, as
it is known everywhere. "Abraham's
Oak" is one of the most famous and VEN
cradle trees in the world. 1t is rever-
enced alike by Jew, Christian and Ma
hometan, for it is supposed to mark the
spot where the patriarch pitched his tent
in the desert. There is superstition in
Jerusalem, and in M the country about,
that whoever shall cut or injure this tree
will lose his first born son. So for CEN
turtles it has been allowed to toss its
gnarled and contorted limbs in the gales
which sweep from the Mediterranean
over the Syrian plains.
This tree was visited by Sir Joseph
Hooker in the autumn Of 1860, and in his
paper upon Syrian oaks, read the follow
ing year before the Linnaean society
transactions, xxii), he gavo a descrip-
ton of it and portrait drawn by his
own hand.
Abraham's Oak was found to belong
to Qucrcus pseudo-coccifera, which, to
quote from Sir Josephs paper, sis by far
the most abundant tree throughout Sy-
ria, covering the rocky hills, Of Palestine
especially, with dense brushwood OF
trees eight to twelve feet high, branch
ing from the base, thickly covered with
small evergreen rigid leaves, and bear
ing acorns copiously. On Mount Carmel
it forms ninc-tenths of the shrubbery
vegetation, and it is almost equally
abundant on the west tanks of the An
tilcbanon and many slopes and valleys of
Lebanon. Owing to the indiscriminate
destruction Of the forests in Syria, this
oak rarely attains its full size" The cir
conference of the trunk Of "Abraham's
Oak" is given rs 90 feet, and the diameter
of the spread Of the branches rs 90 feet.
Qucrcus pseudo-coccifara is an ever
green species. with the general appear
ance of the Hex, of southern Europe, and
closely related, botanically. to Quercus
coccirera, a common and widely distrib-
uted scrub oak of southern Europe and
of Algeria; indeed. Hooker was OF the
opinion that the two plants were merely
geographical varieties of the same spe-
cies.-Garden and Forest.

4 MILKY Why.

| learned the other day that the big
milk supply companies of the city found
it necessary TO exercise a surveillance
over their drivers. but it has been al
ready reduced 10 an elaborate system.
An experienced and dishonest driver can
start out with fifty gallons Of milk in
spected pure at the depot, and from the
supply deliver sixty-fivo gallons, the
fifteen gallons accruing to his own profit
and being secured by judicious watering
at various points on the route. Before the
discovery of this fsactice some OF the
drivers had regular run of customers
of whom their employers knew nothing
The companies inspectors now 80 about

YOU will have lots of sport, and will not

precisely what |. us 4 lover of the species,
would best like you to do, unless you are
generous and are disposed to divide your

way only rare accident will enable you
to do any harm to the beautiful crea-
lures. They wear breastplate of feath-
crs which is practically impcrvious to
shot. If YOU are a sportsman you will
let them fly over, and shoot them as they
rccede.
The fact that the ducks fly high and
are very swift of wing renders it diff,
cult to kill them on the wing at all, and

resort is had by the majority TO such
blind shooting as is permitted. Bat
tories are, of course, forbidden, and so
are sneak boxes and the like. But it is
permitted to the half skilled sportsinen
to build blinds of reeds along the shore
and to shoot from behind them when the
ducks approach within range. In this

TuE FIRE DRILL.

The Guacho OF the Pampas takes ;'an

then rapidly turns the curved part like

A further advance was made by some
North American Indians. who appear TO
have applied the principle Of the bow
drill. and the still more ingenious pump
drill was used by the Iroquois Indians.
For full description of these instru-
ments we must refer the reader TO Mr..
Taylor's valuable chapter in his Re
searches" These methods Of producing
fire are but rarely used in Europe, and
only in connection with superstitious OBJ
servances.
We read in Wuttke that some time
ago the authorities OF a Mecklenberg vii
lage ordered villa fire 70 be lighted
against the murrain among the cattle.
For two hours they strove vainly to OBJ
tain u spark, but the fault was not as
cribed to the quality of the wood or to
the dampness of the atmosphere, but to
the stubbornnes5 of an old lady who, OBJ
iecting 70 the superstition. would rot
put out her night light. Such a fire to
be efficient must burn alone. At last the
strong minded woman was compelled to
give in: fire was obtained. but Of bad
quality, for it did not stop the murrain.
A belief in the peculiar virtues of fire
obtained by the friction of wood has at
one time or another prevailed among ma
tons of Indo-European race, and not
many years ago the obtaining Of need
(hre) was practiced in the Highlands of
Scotland One Of its principal virtues
has always been considered to be its ef-
fciency against disease.-frenan. .Aon-

THO little animal was unknown in an
Gent Europe. The black rat first came
70 EuroOe from Asia in the Sixteenth
century and about the beginning OF the
Seventeenth or the ending OF the DIX
teenth century he arrived IN America
This black rat was the common mouse

TO Europe from India by way of Russia
and is now known as the Norway rat
