p1TTsnuRG,s BIG CANAL.

One of the greatest engineering pro
jects of the day is that which pittsburg
is looking ahead to. The city Of steel
and natural gas wants water communi-
cation with the great lakes and com
mission has completed the preliminary
surveys for ship canal. The Beaver
river route will require but forty-nine
locks and seems to be entirely feasible.
The commission is inclined to think
that its cost would be not far from $40
600, 600 or 50, 900. 900 more than the Nvels
land canal, but in compensation it would
have much heavier tonnage. All the
Superior ores would take to the canal at
once. If private enterprise or the city
undertook the task of building it, it is
hardly probable that the canal would be
made financial success, as the rail
roads would Immediately cut rates
against it; but there is, as might be eX-
pected, a design more or less concealed
to bring the State, and possibly the
United States to aid in the undertaking.

WHY WALL STREET IS Dull.

r. G. Dun's weekly report indicates
the general advance in prices which
have affected the bulk of produce, mer-
chandise and commerce. The reason is
not fai-the country has outgrown Wall
Street, and investors distrust it.
More than that Investigators have dis
covered that by following the trend of
great industrial developments fortunes
may be found almost without risk, and as
quickly as the most successful Wall
street Spectators.

DR.. FeIhdnd Lagrange, in telling
how it Is that the lungs can increase IN
size through athletic exercise, says 1t is
by a mechanism well known in physi-
O!ogy, by the filling out of certain air
cells ordinarily inactive, which only
con In play during forced inspiration.
The expansion of the pulmonary vesi
cleS is complete in proportion TO The
quantity of air introduced. lhe at
mOSpheric air drawn into the lungs by
a very powerful Inspiration seeks out
The most obscure corners, and initiates
the air-cells of certain regions which
ordinarily have no part in the resp;ra-
tory function. y definite increase in
the volume of the lungs is the conse-
quence of frequent repetition OF this
supplemental respiration. The air-cells
which are, as a rule, inactive, and
which are reserved for cases of eXces-
-ive respiratory STRAIN, arise from their
inactiOn; their walls, which are usually
collapsed, and even stuck together.
separate and give entrance to the ar
which cannot lind room in he confined
space sufficient for ordinary breathing.
These forced reSpiratiOns result IN a
modification of the structure of GER
tain regions of the lungs, and in max
Ing them work better. Under the lntiu-
ence of unusual exercise the vesicleS
increase in size and contain more air.
More blood is also supplied 10 them.
Their capillary network becomes richer,
and their nutrition more active. Thus,
III the end, they take uD more room.
1t is III this manner that the regular
working of q great number of air cells,

Proper Seed fora Fine Lawn.

The essentials for a fine lawn are
proper drainage ca etul preparation OF
the soil which should be made as fine
aud light on the surface as possible,
thorough rolling, and a selection of the
seeds OF such grasses as viii present a
lu1uriant yerdure from early spring
till late in autumn. and then frequent
mowings with a lawn mower How
ever, much care Is bestowed on tie soil
and seed no lawn will be beautiful with
out frequent moving and rolling loo
much care cannot be bestowed upon
the selection of grasses, as some varle-
ties are most luXurisnt in spring others
in summer others again In autumn, and
a combination of the proper sorts Is re-
quIred for perfect carpet like lawn
I'VE have given" says ID. VI. Ferry, the
florist much thought and made many
experiments to secure the best mixture
and think the combination we have
made the hest possible for permanent
lawns, resisting the severe droughts of
our climate better than any other. 1t
nav be planted early in spring, and
should Re sown at the rate of from
sixty or eighty pounds To the acre,
much more being required than for
hay or pastur ge. Sow AS early as posi-
ble making the surface very fine and
smooth then raking 1t over and sowing
the seed Just before a rain which If the
surface has Just been raked will cover
the seed sufficiently. If the expected
rain does not come, cover by rolling
with a light roller. This seed is n con-
junction of Kentucky Blue Grass with
white clover.
The clovers have faculty of absorb
ing nitrogen from the air, and also of
rendering available much of the inert
plant food of the soil. Their long
powerful top roots penetrate to a great
depth, loosen the soil, admit air, and
by their decay add immensely to the
fertility of the soil. Kentucky Blue
Grass Is known in some sections as
Meadow Grass or June Grass, and IN
conjunction with the white clover
forms the finest and closest of lawns
For this purpose use four bushels OF
Blue Grass, and about six pounds of
white clover to the acre.

TONIC
Is : Positive Cure for
DYSPEPSIA

To the InnGlS Of Botany Nj. J. i.
Farmer contributes an article in which.
after pointing out the very different
sources of the pulp in different fruits,
lie gives detailed descriptions of its
mode of formation in the elder, dulca-
mara, blackberry and ivy. The term
berry is usually applied to fruits III
which the pulp or succulent tissue is
derived from the pericarp. but in
Daphne mezereon, it is formed not only
from the pericarp, but from the outer
Integument of the seed also. In Citrus
1t Is due to hairs which spring INTO tie
ovarian cavities and become disten1el
with fluid In Wits and Solanum Dull
camara the pulp is formed partly from
the placenta and partly from the peri
carp. In the latter, after fertilization
of the ovaTy, the cells of the placeuta
grow out between the seeds, 50 as 10
give them the appearance of being
sunk IN it, and this growth is contin-
ued until met by a similar growth from
the perlcarp, so that the cavity of the
ovaTy Is then filled up with pulpy tis-
sue. The outermoSt layer of cells of
the ovules ais undergo a change, their
inner and side walls becoming lignified
and the outer wall lecoming mucila-
gnOus and forming part of the muci-
lage of the pulp, just as it does in lin
seed. The red color of dulcamara
berries is due to the appearance of a
large number of chromOpIastids derived
from the chlorophyl granules. At the
same time that this formation take;
place, the starch in the fruit becomes
changed to sugar.
