Cotton RIauts.

A German botanist finds that three
species OF cotton are known. viz: /.
Gossypium barbadense L., which is
native Of America, and has seeds which
are easily separated from the fibre.
This species is known as "sea island
cotton. " ''Barbadoes cotton or New
Orleans cotton" and the cotton OF
Peru is variety. 2. &. arboreuna =.
which has an especially white fibre
seeds separated with difficulty. and
purple red flowers. The species has
long been grown in Egypt, Arabia and
India. 3. G. herbaceum L.. which
has filament-coated seeds like the last
but yellow flowers. This cotton was
introduced into the United States from
India little over a century ago. and
Is the one now so extensively cult

Hest cultivation dates from more

No More Coioring Pipes.

Coloring meerschaums has gone out
OF fashion. Years ago it was quite n
fad, but so much trouble was required
TO keep meerschaum in good condi-
ton that most smokers discarded their
pipes and took to cigars. A meer-
schaum, to be properly colored. needs
as much attention as a baby. It must
not get too hot for then the wax coat
ing is driven out and the pipe does not
take proper color; it must not get too
cold nor cool of too suddenly. or it
will crack; you must not touch it with
your fingers, nor smoke it too stead
lily, nor keep a cover on it while using
it for in either case it is spoiled. Men,
as rule, do not smoke for the pleas
ure OF coloring a pipe. but for the COM
fort they get from the habit and so
the meerschaum has given way.

A New Milking Machine.

1t seems, at last, as if the problem of
obviating the necessity of hand milking
has been solved. The means is an air
pump in combination with the suitable
appliances. Along the stalls a metal tube
communicating with the air pump runs
in a channel prepared for it. At the
outside of each stall division there is q
'switch' by which branch tube of In
dia rubber is brought within the range
OF the force transmitted through the tube
in the channel. The switch is a very
ingenious part, aud by merely being
pressed down for half an inch the branch
tube is turned son" while by the switch
being raised half an inch the current is
turned "oH" the branch tube. The
branch tube at its other extremity sub
divides into four, each of which is tipped
with section of cows horn furnished
with au Iudia rubber lip. These four
horns with the India rubber slips" are
placed over the teats OF the COW, aud id
hore closely to the udder by the suction
communicated from the Air pump, and
the milk is thus rapidly drawn from the
udder. The machine, also, the inventors
point out, follows the natural method OF
the calf in drawing the milk from the
udder, for every stroke of the pump is
followed by distinct pulsation Of lesser
force at the farthest end of the branch
tubes. .-RetO York Telegrdm.

The DIne Skr.

Every one admires and talks of the
blue sky, but how many have observed
not only that the sky is sometimes of a
deeper or richer blue than at other tunes,
but that its changes of tint occur In a
more or less regular wayl
Such is the conclusion of NJ. Crova,
who has reported to the Paris Academy
of Science the result of his systematic
observations of sky colors from December,
1883, to December, 1890.
He finds that the sky is most intensely
blue in December, January, March and
Seotember, and Paler in July, August
and November. Observing the changes
from hour to hour, he found that it was
more deeply blue in the morning than
during the heat or midday. This indi-
Gates that, since the deepest color is
seen, generally speaking, In the coldest
months and during the cooler part of the
day, heat is an important element in
determining the depth of the sky color.

WISE WORDS.

The worst of slaves is ho whom passion

True merit, like river, the deeper il

Who ever heard of a pure thought or

Love is blessed wand which wins the

To give heartfelt praise to noble ac-

the soldier, brute; and every man dis

A New L0cnmntiYe.

The st. Paul Railroad is building two
engines which promise a revolution in
locomotive building. These engines will
consume their own smoke aud will have
no smokestack. They will be fitted up
with an electrical headlight, placed
Immediately in front of the boiler,
thus giving the engineer an unobstructed
view of the track ahead. The driving
wheels will be larger than on ordinary
locomotives, and are intended for greater
speed.
1t is hardly possible to overestimate
the value of the discovery of smokeless
locomotive, if the plan shall prove sue
cess. To think of riding in car with
out being exposed to rain of SCOT and
cinders when tho window is opened, or
being choked half to death with smoke
when going through tunnel or a snow
shed, is something almost too good for
even the imagination. Railroad travel.
ing would be positive pleasure under
such circumstances.
Nor is this all. The smokeless and
cinderless locomotive does away with the
danger of burning up wheat fields-a
thing which occurs many times every
year with the present style of engines.
Spark arresters have been invented, but
they do not do their work perfectly, and
every summer the railroad companies
have to pay for fires caused by sparks
from their engines.
Again, where railroads run into cities
the vicinity of the road is continually
smeared and grimed up by the smoke and
SCOT from the passing and repassing
locomotives, and the housewife who
hangs out her weeks washing often has
occasion to do anything but bless the
present style Of engines. This evil will
be cured by the adoption of smokeless
locomotives.
Every railroad in the United States
ought to adopt these engines if they
prove success, and if they seem unwil-
ling to make the change the law should
lend them the necessary stimulus. Tho
comfort and convenience of the people
should be considered before the extra
cost to the railroad comp anies. San

Grating Teeth.

Much has been written of late about
skin-grafting, and Reading physician
has even succeeded in transplauting a
mustache to the upper lip Of woman.
But there are several local dentists vino
have met with remarkable success
in grating teeth. The process is known
as impsnting, aud should not be con-
founded with either transplanting or re-
planting, both Ct which have been done
for years. In implanting tooth the
gum may have entirely healed over, in
fact a tooth may be implanted years after
its predecessor has been removed. With
the aid Of cocaine the operation is not at
tended with any great amount of pain.
The gum is thoroughly saturated with
cocaine and an incison is made exposing
the jawbone. A socket is then drilled
into the bone, and a tooth, after having
been placed in an antiseptic solution, is
fitted into the socket and tightly bound
in its place. The wound heals quickly,
and in two weeks the grated tooth par
takes Of al the nature of a perfectly
natural tooth.-PailadeLphia Record,

Wonderful Growth of Electric Travel.

Only twelve years have elapsed since
the first crude suggestions of the practi-
cal working of an electric railway were
made, and four years ago list of a dozen
would comprise every such road in the
world in even pas'ably successful opera
tion, whatever the method of application.
The first large commercial electric rail-
way was, after many difficulties and dis
couragements, opened in the early part
Of 1888 at Richmond, Va; and since
that demonstration was made, the indus
try has grown until there are now
In operation or under contract, on the
general lines laid down at Richmond,
not less than $50 roads in the United
States, Europe, Australia, and Japan, re-
quiring more than 1000 ears and 1000
motors, with moro than 2600 miles of
track, q daily mileage of nearly 500, 900
miles, and carrying nearly billion pas.
scngers annually. Fully 10000 people
are employed on these roads, and there
has never been an authenticated report
of death on account OF the electrical pres
sure used, Over $50, 900, 900 are in
vested in this industry in this country
