Knots on Trees.

IL is a mistake to suppose that the
knots or warts which are very common
on some species of forest trees are due
to insects, fungus, or accident, or are in
any way unnatural growths. They de.
velop as results neither of tho health
nor disease of the tree, nor of such con-
dilions rs special kinds of soil or situa-
tons Science Gossip thus accounts for
their formations
"In the barks of our forest trees are
contained n multitude of latent buds,
which are developed and grow under
certain favorable conditions. Some trees
possess this property in II remarkable
degree, and often, when the other parts
are killed down by frost, the property
of pushing out these latent buds into
growth preserves the life of the plant
These buds, having once begun to grow,
adhere to the woody layer at their base.
and push out their points through the
bark toward the light
"The buds then unfold and develop
leaves, which elaborate the sap carried
up the small shoot Once elaborated,
it descends by the bark. Here it is ar
rested, so to speak, and deposited be-
tween the outside and inner layer of
bark, as can be learned on examining
specimens on the trees in the woods al
most anywhere."

A Novel Plan of Irrigation.

An important experiment has been
made in the province of the Don Co :
sacks, Russia. by M. Sherel zov. He
collected The water from rain and the
melting of SHOWS into two pools, hold
ing together about l. 1.872. 700. 900 cubic
feet, and distributed it among the fields
in slring and summer. These pools
suppl 'd sufficient water to irrigate more
than 1890 acres. but were unable to
contain all the water which flowed to-
ward them, and therefore two new
pools have been made and the irrigated
area enlarged to 1850 acres In conse-
quence of tlliS irrigation, says The Scot.
tish Geographical Magazine. the wheat
crop has increased from about 81 to 1871
bushels per acre. and the profits Of the
undertaking have been, according to NJ

Vegetables Va. Beef.

1t appears to be the belief of some
that as man in the savage state has for
the most part been largely, if not wholly,
carnivorous, he will with the progress
of civilization become entirely vege-
tartan or use only the products of ami
mails. as eggs and milk. with vegetable
food. A vegetable diet has been found
very successful in treating kidney
troubles and indigestion. In point of
economy it is an enormous saving, not
only in actual cost to the consumer, but
also in land, as Of two equal portions of
ground, one raising cereal and the
other beef or mutton, the part devoted
to the cereal will support ten times as
many men as the beef or mutton por'

Man,a FACE.

The two sides of the human face are
not exactly alike, and a German biologist
asserts that the lack of symmetry is, as
a rule, confined to the upper parts of
the face. In two cases out of five the
eyes are out Of line, and seven persons
out of every ten have stronger sight in
one eye than in the other. Another
singular fact is that the right ear is
almost universally shorter than the left,
not only a little shorter, but enough to
show even in inexact measurement. -

There are persons who will work
for the good Of their fellow-men, who
will give money and time, labor and
thought, to reforms and schemes for
general welfare, who will not hesitate
to make sacrifices, to perform bene-
VIOLENT and kindly actions, but who
never give free and hearty utterance
to the gladness that they feel or the
pleasure they enjoy. 1t is not that
they intend to deprive any one of
happiness, but they do not realize how
much they could thus bestow. While
trying in many ways to give light
and warmth to their fellow-men, they
bottle up their own sunshine, forget
ting that its influence might extend
far and wide. Let all such pernicious
silence be speedily broken. If the
day is fair, and the air pure and clear,

oculist, says: Most persons who use
the incandescent electric light like q

and more brilliant than after the lamp
has been in use for two or three weeks
This is wrong. 1t is this dazzling
white light that harms the eye. An
old lamp is the best, for in these the
light has become changed to pale

The Dav of the Week

IF you want to tell the day of the
week on which a friend was born,
knowing the month, day of the month
and year, you can easily do it by q
simple arithmetical problem.
Add to the date of the month the
last two figures Of the year, leaving
off the hundreds, as for 1891 take
only 81, and one.fourth of the latter.
IF there should be fraction in this
last number make it whole by adding
one. The sum thus found must be
either increased or diminished ac-
coTding to the following table:
Add "a for January. Add for July.
Add rs for Febru ary. Add II for August:
Subtract Q tor March. Add Is for september.
Subtract 0 for April. Ada 16 for October.
Add Add for for 5nSSe 5MaS Aad Il Il iS for December
The result is divided by 7. The
balance left will give the name Of the
day on which the inquiring individual
was born. If this balance should De
l, he was born on Sunday, if it is 2,
it was Monday.
For example: A man was born

ber for the month is "a, that of the
