The Reaper Sc,rnel at First.

During 1S45 the Mccormick reaper
was patented, machine that afterwards
revolutionized the agricultural interests
Of the world. It attracted little notice
at that time, and it was not until years
later that its full value was recognized
During the same year some man taxed
his ingenuity by inventing and patenting
combination henroost and beehive.
The roost was made on top of the hive,
which had flap doors, held open during
the day by springs. The inventors
claim was that the bees would enter
the hive a little before sunset, through
the then open doors. At sunset the
hens would take their places on the
foost, and their weight would automati
cally close the flap doors to the hive
and prevent the bees from coming out.
At sunrise the fowls would fly off the
roost, releasing the flap doors, and thus
permit the bees to emerge for their daily
work at gathering honey.
This device seemed to make au i'm
preston on the Commissioner of Pat
ents, as to utility and value, which the
Mccormick reaper failed to do, as the
following extract from the commits.
sioner's report for the year shows:
sThe most important agricultural in
vention of the year, in fact, the only one
of any Importance, is combination hen
roost and beehive. Atlanta Constitu-
ton.

Cure for Diphiheria

A. NJ. Sydney Turner, surgeon to the
Gloucester county iu6rmary, informs the
Lancet, in reply to inquiries, that he
has treated thirty cases of diphtheria
children and adults with paraffin, and
had the satisfaction of seeing every one
recover. His plan Is to ask for the or
binary paraffin used in lamps, aud. hav.
ing scraped off the diphtheritic patch, to
apply the paratfin every hour to the
throat Internally with large camel:
hair brush. As a rule, the throat get:
we'll in from twenty-four to torty-eigh
hours, and with improvement in thu
throat the parafiu is applied less fire.
quently, but he continues its use for
two or three days after the complete
disappearance of the patches. He
speaks definitely as to the therapeutic
effects, but is unable to state what the
chemical action Of paratfin on the diph'
theritlc membrane is; probably the
hydro carbons in the liquid exert some
powerful influ ence on the membrane.
