"PERIODIC" COMETS.
Methods of Calculating Sizes and Dis-
tanees In the Solar system.

tanees In the Solar system.
MANY comets which would otherwise
pass by into the realms of space beyond
are captured by the great outer planets
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune
and forced 10 join the family of the
sun. becoming what are called period
ic" comets. Those four vast globes are
all more or less liquid and gaseous 80
that there c,,n not be any life on them.
OF Neptune and Uranus almost nothing
is known, because they are so far away,
but the two great giant orbs, Saturn
and Jupiter, are smaller suns not yet
quite extinguished. Ages hence they
will cool down and be transformed,
doubtless, into inhabited worlds. There
NAV be life on Venus and Mercury,
though it must be too warm for COM
fort, inasmuch as Venus is one-third
nearer the sun than the earth Is, and
Mercury is less than half as far away.
A pretty fair notion of sizes and dis
tafices in the solar system can be got by
selecting level piece Of ground where
there is plenty of room, placing there a
globe two feet in diameter to represent
the sun. Mercury can be indicated by
a mustard seed 50 feet away, Venus by
pea l42 feet off, the earth by slight
ly bigger pea els feet distant and Mars
by small peppercorn 227 feet away
On the same scale moderate-sized or
ange one-quarter of a mile from the
globe will stand for Jupiter, small or
ange two-fifths of mile off for Uranus,
and plum one and quarter miles dis
tant for Neptune. Boston Transcript.

Eradicating Disease.

Graduating disease is not a matter
of week or month. While it is
proper to use all precaution in order to
prevent disease in the herd or flock, it
is only by selection of the hardest and
most vigorous animals for breeding
that disease may be mostly prevented
1t is from inbreeding and debility that
disease becomes permanent lnheri-
ted defects can never be eradicated. In
the natural condition animals select
their mates from among the most Wig
orous, and in domesticatiou man must
use Judgment in mating his stock.

falling on young tender shoots pene-
trate their substance and cause them to
curl up and finally die. So little is
really known of the life history of the
curl that little can be said regarding
preventive measures. Removing and
destroying all the leaves and young
shoots as soon as they show signs of
the malady, and at the proper season,
cutting we'll back the branches where
the disease existed, is the best course,
and ought to mitigate the evil. AS an
experiment it is suggested that the
trees be sprayed in March or before the
buds begin to swell with so or 40 per
cent. solution of sulphate of iron.--

PEACH LEAF CURL.

a Disease Which Occurs Wherever
Peaches Are Grown.
This peculiar disease is widespread
both in this country and in Europe, oc-
curing wherever the peach is grown.
1t often severely Injuries nursery stock;
young, thrifty growing trees nrc more
subject to its attacks than those more
mature. The curl is limited to the
period when the young shoots and
leaves are most tender; after the It's
sues of these parts are fully formed or
matured they are no longer affected.
The disease shows itself as soon as the
leaves are expanded. By the first or
middle of June the only signs of the
malady are the withered leaves on the
ground and the shriveled shoots on the
tree; new leaves have already de-
veloped on the lateral twigs. The illus

of the scene almost as grilGly picturesque
as the woe denouncing seer.
Here the pale clergyman piled up his
library, rich with parchment bound
folios Of the fathers, and the lore of
rabbis, and monkish erudition, of which
the Protestant divines, even while they
vilifed and decried that class of writers,
were yet constrained often to avail
themselves. On the other side of the
house old Roger Chillingworth ar
ranged his study and laboratory; not
such as a,modern man OF science would
reckon even tolerably complete, but
provided with a distilling apparatus and
the means of compromising drugs and
chemicals, which the ,practiced alchem-
list knew well how to turn to purpose.
With such oommodiOqsness of situation,
these two learned persons sat themselves
down, each in his own domain, yet ia
miliarly passing from one apartment to
the other and bestowing mutual and
not incuriousinspection into each others
business.
