The Blood Vessels of the Ere.

Purkinie discovered a very simple and
highly entertaining experiment, by
means Of which the r%etina, with all its
veins and blood vessels standing out in
relief against it can be thrown into the
air before ones eyes. 1t is called the
arborescent figure, from its likeness to a
many branched tree, and is produced in
the following manner In a dark room
at night move a candle backward and
forward before the eyes, these being
firmly fixed on the we'll beyond.
After a few seconds the air will as
SUM a reddish appearance, and running
over it in all directions may be seen the
veins and blood vessels in bold relief,
while toward the centre of the figure
there rises up a dark trunk, from which
the veins branch out on all sides.
The trunk is visible where the optic
nerve enters the eye, and this experiment
Is chiefly interesting to the student as
proving that the parts of the retiaa
which actually receive and produce the
sensation of ligRs must lie behind the
blood vessels, since these cast their
shadow on to it, end we are enabled to
see them, as we soc any other object,
externally. - ChGssbrs's Journal.

TO PROTECT The CONSERVATORY.

The plant-bed cloth recommended as
q substitute for glass for hot beds and
cold frames may also be used advantage.
ously on cold nights to protect the con-
s~ervatory from frost. 1t should be
placed over the glass in the evening and
removed IN the morning, unless the
weather in daytime is exceedingly severe,
IN which case 1t may remain on if the
sky is clouded. The same material may
also be used in the same way to keep
frost out Of cold pits and winter-frames.
A covering Of heavy paper, such as may
be found at a printing Office, forms a
good protection, and mating, old car
pets aud even newspapers will he found
useful. Two or three thickness of paper
placed between the glass aud plants on
cold night will often prevent serious
loss of plants from the action of extreme
frost.-Ladies' Home Companion.

Natural Telephone.

A gentleman from Minnesota, about
twenty-five miles southwest of Rapid
City, South Dakota, tells of a discovery
which was accidentally made in the
mountains northwest of that town a few
weeks ago. According to the story told,
there is a natural telephone line be.
tween two mountains in the Black Hills
range.
On each side of an intervening valley
twelve miles in width, stand two high
peaks which tower above the other
mountains and have long been known as
landmarks, being called the twin peaks.
These mountains are fully 10, 900 feet
high and at least 1000 feet above the
near range. Only on rare occasions have
these peaks been assembled and but little
was known of their topography.
Some weeks ago a party of tourists
determined to make the ascent and
divided into two parties, one for each
peak. They, too, took apparatus for
signaling, and expected to have pleasure
and amusement by flashing the Photograph
code across the intervening space, to the
mystitication Of the people of the valley.
The ascent was made, and while the
people were making arrangements to
signal across one of the party On the north
mountain was surprised to hear voices
which apparently came from the air. He
moved about and the sound was no
longer heard. BY changing his position
several times he discovered that at q GER
tain spot on the mountain he could hear
the voices, and it was not long before
he found that they proceeded from the
party on the other mountain.
He called the attention Of the others
to the phenomena and then they attracted
the party Oh the south mountain and
found that an ordinary conversation in
an ordinary tone of voice was plainly
heard from one mountain TOP to thu
other. There was only one place on
each mountain where it could be heard
aud it appearei to be a natural telephone.
No shouting was necessary and the
words were perfectly distinct.

curled up and does not touch the ground.
When at rest the pig squats on its tail
on the ground, holding up the front part
of its body with its two legs. 1t is four
feet long and weighs $50 pounds. Its
bristles are about three inches long and
stand out like the quilts on a %porcupine.

WINDdALLs on HORSES.

Swelling or enlargement of the pastern
bones of horses are more likely to indi-
cate riugbone than wlndgalls. Sprains
of the back tendons are usually followed
by round, elastic, ~synovial swellings on
each side, and these are known as wind
gals. Sometimes such swellings are due
to hard work, and not to any sudden or
severe sprain, and in such cases may
lead to so severe an inflammation as to
reach and employ pressure with a band
age and pads, applying for an hour or
two at first, night and morning, increas-
ing the time and pressure daily until the
gals disappear. This treatment may
have to be continued for a month or
longer before a cure is effected. Astrin-
gent lotions, such as alum and oak bark,
may be used with benefit, especially on
recent puffs, but those Of long standing
require pressure in addition to cooling
and astringent lotion. Sometimes bis
tering may be required, but a blister
should never be applied until all heat
and tenderness have subsidized through
applications of cooling lotions. -New

THE BROWN scAB OF APPLES.

The Ohio Experiment Station has this
season conducted an extensive series Of
experiments, In which several preventive
solutions have been tried, but especial
attention has been given to the question
whether the strength Of the copper sui
phate aud lime solution, known as the
bordeaux mixture, might not be reduced

accomplish the object Of preventing dis

GROUND BONES FOR POETRY.

Ground bones ana cut bones are differ
ent. A fresh, green bone cannot yell
be ground. 1t may be crushed or
pounded, but not easily ground. Hand
mills are in use that permit of grinding
bones that have become hard and dry, or
have been steamed or heated, but the
green bones must be pounded or cut in
thin pieces with knives. There Is a
great difference in she value of fresh
bones from the butcher and those that
have been exposed until they are dry.
Green bones contain quite a portion Of
meat and cartilage, aud are greedily
eaten by all classes Of dowls.-Farn and

nov 10 paasEEvE IRISH POTATOES.

The difficulty of keeping Irish pota-
toes in edible condition after March LIST
is well known to Southern housekeepers,
farmers and merchants. Professor
Schribaux, of the National College of
Agriculture of France, has recently de-
vised a very simple, cheap and successful
method by watch he has bsen able to
preserve potatoes in the edible condition
for over Il year and q half. This pro-
cess has been adopted by the French
Government for preserving potatoes for
the army. The French Minister of Agri-
culture publishes the details of the pro-
cess of the official Bulletin d@ Ministers
Mp AgrieuHurat for March, 1891. The
following is a translation of the essential
part of the schema:
/. The method Of preserving consists
Id plunging the tubers, before storing
them away, for ten hours into a two per
cent. solution of commercial sufphuric
acid in water; two parts Of acid to one
hundred parts of water.
2. The acid psnetrates the eyes to the
depth of about one-fortieth inch 1.-TWO
~millimcters), which serves to destroy
their sprouting power, it does not have
any appreciate effect upon the skin Of
the potatoes.
8. After remaining in the liquid ten
hours. The tubars must be thoroughly
dried before storing away.
A. The same liquid may be used any
number of times with equal good re-
suits.
8. A barrel or tank of any kind will
do for the treatment. The acid is so
dilute it does notaffect the wood.
s. Chemical analysis shows that pota-
toes treated By tsiis process ore as nu-
tritious and healthful after eighteen
months as when fresh dug.
4. Potatoes thus treated are, ~ofcourse,
worthless for planting.-GraM Nc.

Bayaria's King Thinks Hess stork.

Reference to this story may serve as an
excuse for abiding to the queer fad of
the present monarch Of Bavaria, the mad
King Otto. His insanity appears to
have taken the form of an illusion that
he is a stork. In one OF the magnificent
apartments devoted 10 his use at the
palace at Furstenried he has laboricusly
constructed a gigantic nest, every stick
and straw of which he has conveyed to
the spot in his mouth. In that nest he
sauats almost the entire day with feath-
ers stuck in his long, thick hair and
beard, while he chatters in imitation of
the ~"clappering" Of a stork whenever
any one approaches. Occasionally, too,
he stands on one leg gazing vacantly
straight before him, while at other times
he stalks gravely about jest IN the sasne
manner that he has seen the long
beaked, long-legged birds do.-Ne@
