SCROFULA

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, ac-
cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesto
tons usually ascribed TO "humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, it is the
most general OF all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from 1t.

other diseases put together, and
until tho last few years was sup.
posed to be incurable. Fora great
many years doctors pronounced ii

local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable.

a constitutional disease, and there

OPTICAL TELEGRAPY.
How Signals are Flashed from NOV
tain Peak to Peak.

How Signals are Flashed from Noun
tain Peak to Peak.
The flashing of message from Mount
Reno to Mount Graham, 1875 miles, by aid
of the heliograph marks the greatest achieve
ments in this method of optical telegraphy
vet made. It is, perhaps, not generally
known that the signal service department
has been making extensive experiments in
this direction for several years, and 1t may
claim to having the longest and most com
plste heliographing line in the world. Its
nnerstions extend from Fort Stanton in
New Mexico to Whipple Barracks in Ari-
zona. more than one thousand miles, with
rami6cations leading in different directions.
The terminal stations, twenty nVe OF more,
| connect with the general telegraph systems
| of the country, bringing the almost impene-
| trable reserves Of New Mexico and Arizona
| into direct communication with civilization
| or the governments.
The syetem is OF immense advantage in
| Indian warfare, where ordinary telegraph
| lines have not penetrated, and where they
could not be maintained in case of hostili-
ties were they set up. General Greely re-
Gently sent dispatch to Washington from
Bowie Peak, Arizona, the message being
flashed from peak to peak, over gaps of for
| ty.fiye miles, touching at Mount Graham,
| Table Butte, Saddle Peak. Pinal Mountains,
| Lookout Peak, Bakers Butte, Squaw Peak,
Bald Mountain to Whipple barracks, from
where il was transmitted by the ordinary
system. The possibilities of the heliograph
are not limited, however, to the one hundred
and twenty five mile record, and understand
ing its value from military point of view
the signal service department will not fail t.
develop IL as far as possible.
The heliograph is simple little instru
ment and easy of manipulation. A smal
mirror is set on tripod in such manne
that the rays Of the sun reflected from 1t
isurfsce may be thrown in any direction, an

THE NEW OENsTS.


The comparative position of the States
under the new census is receiving attention.
Of course New York will continue to be the
first among them, and almost equally, of
course, Pennsylvania will remain second.
The rank of third, SO long held by Ohio, is,
however, threatened at last. It will not be
overcome, but the Indications are that this
is the last census at which Ohio is to hold IL.
It is fifty years since Ohio took that posi-
tion. Illinois, which then was but recently
settled, has been rapidly gaining upon her of
late. The enormous growth of the city of
Chicago much aids to this end. AS in 1880
Ohio had 3,19S,062 Inhabitants and
Illinois s,077,S71, while the growth of
the former between 1870 and 1880 was
1900 per cent. and that of the latter
21.18 per cent, it looks as If the contest be-
tween the two States now would be q close
one. Missouri comes next after Illinois
without question. The ratio OF increase in
Missouri from 1870 to 1880 was greater than
that even of Illinois, and it has gone in equal
proportion since. This will keep Missouri
ahead of Indiana, and:make no changes in rel
ative position in the first six States. But
after these the changes will be numerous.
Massachusetts has been the seventh State as
recognized in the last ten years. Now sew
eral States will forge ahead of her. Michi-
gan is one of them; Texas is another; Iowa
is third, and Kentucky, which stood next
| to Massachusetts, in 1880, is a fourth,

Within the lest month I have made On in-
teresting experiment with fowl. Some
choice eggs were sent me for Matching pur-
poses and (having no hen at that time broody
and no incubator) determind to set one of
my hens on these eggs and keep her there by
the force of mesmeric power. The eggs were
not fresh when received them, and to keep
them with the uncertain hope of q hen be-
coming broody might have been fatal to their
Matching. !, therefore, went against nature
and set my hen upon these eggs; she was in
full lay at the time, and remained so throug.
ont the three weeks that she was sitting, lay
according to wont, two out of three days.
Those who understand poultry will appreci-
ate that no hen will do this, having become
naturally broody, although for the first day
or two after being set on eggs I have had
hens lay once or even twice.
Marking the eggs set her upon,I was able
to know and withdraw the eggs she kept lay
ing. The first day placed her on the eggs
it took me half an hour to bring her into q
hypnotic condition; but each successive day,
after having reused her to drink and eat, l
was able to sooth her to drowsy placidity in
much less time; also there were days, for
which can give no reason, when had to go
to her more than once in the day. ,she being
in q restless, excited state, trying to get of
the nest. The reult has been much to my
own ast0nishment, that four out Of seven Of
these eggs have matched and are healthy hap.
py little chickens. At night I can still infiu.
ence their mother to their maternal duties,
but in the daytime she takes no notice oi
them.
