.d,,t.bi,itv of the Micropbone.

The utility of the microphone for OBJ
servation of earth tremors and noises
was soon recognized, and Italy has for
some time held a foremost place among
the nations which have taken advantage
of the special adaptability of this in
strument. 1t is now found that photog-
raphy possesses admirable capabilities
in the way of supplementing the work
of the microphone in making these deli
cate records Sig. Baratta, finding
some defects in method of mechanical
registration of the motions of a seismo-
microphone, had recourse to the follow
ing device: A telephone wire is con-
nected with subterranean micro
phone. Before the telephone dia-
phragm, and connected with its center
with fine aluminium wire, is short
slip of the same metal fixed below and
having curved piece at the top, which
rests against small mirror movable
about n horizontal axis. This mirror
reflects the light from lamp an lens
to Photographic paper on rotated
drum. The light is momentarily shut
off every quarter of an hour by shutter
arrangement worked electromagnetic
ally by the clock-work which moves the
drum. Chicago News.

"And what did he write?"
Uncle Silas sighed again and began

LEADERS OF THE REVOLUTION.
The Fathers of the Republic an Unc0m-
monty Young Set of Men.


No fallacy is more firmly fixed in the
public mind than that which represents
the establishment of our government as
the work of old men. The delusion is
imbibed in childhood, and is uncon-
sciously cultivated by the textbook
used in school. The fathers of the
Republic" are depicted in all the his
tories with wigs, queues and other ac-
eessorics Of dress that apparently be
token age. and the pupil naturally con-
rlu,lGs that they must have been old
when the nation was born.
In point of fact, they were an unco'n-
monty Young set of men. George
Washington. senior in age as we'll rs in
authority and influence, was but 43 when
the Revolution broke out: and 81 when
he became first President; Thomas JEFF
fcfson. only SIS when he wrote the
Declaration of Independence; AleXan-
Ter Hamilton, but % when he became
Secretary of the Treasury; James Mad
ison. ouly % when he was made mem
Der of a Virginia Committee of Safety.
and Sc when he was Hamilton'S great
collaboration in the production of that
political classic. The Federalist."
Nor were the leaders in the great en-
tcrprisc exceptional in this matter of
age. Forty names were signed to the
Constitution of the United States on the
nth of September, 1887. Leaving out of
account four whose birthdays are not
riven by the books of reference, only
I've of the remaining thirty-siX had
reached the age of 60; twenty Of the

cor1oNsEEp as FOOD.
1t Produces Genuine O.eomargarine Cows
Butter.

Butter.
Here is another fact in nature which
can not be ignored. 1t has long been
well known that the feed of the COW has
great influence on the quality of the
milk and on the quality, texture anG
flavor of the butter and cheese made
from it, although not enough attention
practically has been paid to the subject
As is the nectar of the flowers, so IS the
product of the honey bee, or the product
corresponds to the feed. Feed glucose
and glucose will fill the cells; feed sim
pie syrup and the product will be sim
pie syrup. So is it with the cows--givo
her cottGnsecd, and she will put Gotten
seed oil into her butter, hard and UNI
mistalsable. Feed her linseed meal and
the butter will be oily and soft, having
something of the quality of linseed oil;
but the most striking about cottonseed,
besides its raising the churning temper
allure and the melting point of butter, is
the fact that it makes the butter product
so nearly like oleomargarine made
from cottonseed oil that even the expert
chemist in the Agricultural Depart
ment ut Washington find it difficult to
distinguish the bogus from the genuine!
Prof. Henry Stewart tells us that when
Prof Riley was examining butter
made from feeding cottonseed meal, he
found it to have precisely the same
character as butter made artificially
from cottonseed oil, and so much so
| that chemical analysis of such butter,
made by feeding this meal, might be
used as evidence to prove it to be oleo-
margarine made from cottonseed oil. "
| Whether it is the fat or the nitrogen of
| the cottonseed that has this effect is a
question for debate.
It was once thought that the fat for
butter and for storing up in the animal
system is drawn from the fat in the
food; but it has been repeatedly shown
that the amount of butter fat turned
ont by COW is far in excess of that
contained in the food which she eats
Whence, then, comes the hydrocarbOr
contained in butter? Is it from the
sugar and starcheS in the food, as wei
as from the free fat which it contains
or are the albuminoids of the milk, by
some vito-chemical process. converted
into carbons? Until we have more ligh'
on this subject, we really can not feec
as intelligently as we ought to. We
want to make butter; what kind of foOt
materials must we feed the COW? So fal
it has been found that the more nitro
genous foods are the better milk ant
butter producers. Is it because thcs'
foods are also rich in other elements be
sides nitrogen?- Mirror and Farmer.

ON KEEPING WARM.
The Requisites Are Proper Food and Cloth
ing and Fresh Air.

A writer on hygicnic topics III a New
York exchange says cOlce rning the
philosophy of keeping warm: With the
mercury in the sitting room at sixty
eight degrees one ought to be comforta-
bly, warm. If he is not, the tcmpera-
ture is not at fault. Either more cXer-
else. more carbonaceous food or more
clothes are needed; possibly more pure
air is needed, for bad air will strike a
chill to the stoutest heart. Instead
then, when one feels cold, of increasing
the fire in the range. increase the heat
in the blood, or more carefully prevent
it's escape by putting - garments that
are non-conductors of heat; open the
windows and let in more oxygen. and
let out the poisonous products of re-
SEPARATION, or go into the open air and
draw from unfailing reservoirs fresh
supplies Of heat and vigor.
There are women who suffer from
chilfiness most OF the time from fall to
spring. and who therefore live as much
as they can in rooms heated to eighty
and ninety degrees. They object to
much Undertaking, and make slight
change in summer and winter body
wear. OF course they are always hav-
ing colds and illness of various kinds,
which plenty of hanneis would entirely
prevent. Some assert that flanncls irri-
tate the skin and can not be endured
next to it. If not, silk or cotton gar
ment may be worn next to the skin, and
flannel over that. Vigorous friction OF
the entire surface of the body before
going to sleep and upon rising from
sleep is an excellent thing to keep one
warm.
Starchy food, sugar and fats, all arti-
clcs containing carbon in abundance,
are good foods for cold weather Pas
tries, cake and crullers are in season
now, if ever they ought to be in season.
Candy in cold weather is grateful to the
ralate and far less injurious, if in
furious, than i'll warm weather. In
stead of burning carbon in the stove
then, put it into the stomach; put on
clothing till chilliness ceases, exercise
till the body is all in glow, keep the
air of the rooms fresh and pure. and the
liabilities to sickness that makes winter
a season to be dreaded will be largely
