JAPANESE MAGIC MIRRORS.
They Reflect From the Polished Surface
Images on the Back.


From time to time there have been
brought to Europe mirrors possessed
of a curious magical property which
bafied the Investigation of scientific
men, while it excited their curiosity,
says tho New York World. The
mirrors are of Japanese origin, made,
not of glass silvered, but of cast
bronze, polished on the face, and
bearing on the back raised patterns,
inscriptions, symbolic designs, crests,
or pictures. The property in ques-
ton is that when exposed to bright
beam of light from the sun or from
an electric lamp they reflect in the
light from their polished face the
image of the pattern on their backs.
This is purely optical property, and
has, of course. nothing in common
with the fortune-telling magic crys-
tails of the astrologer or the
alleged magic mirrors of NEGRO
NANCY. Yet it long puzzled the
scientific optician, and even now is
little known or believed. The re-
searches of various scientific men
have established the fact that the
! phenomena is due to very minute diff
! ferences Of curvature in the polished
! face, differences SO minute that they
! do not affect the ordinary use Of the
mirror as a looking glass, and are,
indeed, to be detected only by deli
cate optical tests, The only remain
ing mystery has been as to how these
! delicate differences ofcurvature were
| produced in exact correspondence to
! the pattern on the back. The makers
themselves are often in ignorance of
the magic property, and do not know
which of their mirrors possess it and
which do not. The mirrors are cast
in molds and afterward polished by
hand, and it is held by scientific men
that the difference of curvature is
caused by the metal yielding UNI
equally under the pressure of the
tools used in scraping and polishing,
the thin parts naturally bending
more than the thick, This accounts
| for the mirrors becoming magic.

HE SAVED HER NOSE,
Why a Young Man Accosted a Strange
Lady.

Why Young Man Accosted a Strange
Lady.
A young man who has lived in Can
ada and seen what Jack Frost can do
when he is in an angry mood was
walking across Boston common last
winter, when the thermometer was
registering below zero AS he passed
a pretty girl and glanced at her face
he noticed that the end of her nose
was very white, while the remainder
of it was very red He recognized
the symptoms in an instant. The
flesh looked as il it was on fire, ex-
cept whore it was so white, and there
it had the symptoms of wax. He
promptly accosted the young woman.
Excuse me, miss" he said, accord
ing to the New Yo-.k Commercial Ad-
vertiser, "but your face is frozen"
Frozen she said. what do
you mean"
IL mean" he replied, chat your
nose is frost-bitten, and very badly,
too"
Then he advised her to accompany
him to drug store and have the fro
zen member attended to at once. She
submitted without question, for the
young man talked as If he. knew what
he was talking about.
After getting her into warm
place he rubbed the tip OF the nose
briskly with snow, and the blood
came creeping back into tho chilled
arteries. The patient WINGED under
the pain, which could not have been
greater il she had had needles jabbed
into every pore OF the frozen flesh.
She stood it bravely enough, how
ever, and when the circulation OF
blood was restored the young man
left her in care of the druggist and
his liniments and went on his way
rejoicing that he had been able to
save the pretty girl from disfgure-
ment for life

If You We're on the Moon.

If lunar conditions are favorable to
human existence, and it is not certain
that they are not, and you could be

how do you suppose things would
look from such vantage ground9 You
would probably first turn your eyes
in the direction of our earth. the
world you had just quilted. but to
you it would be Il stranger. In place
of the somber globe you would nat
urally expect to behold your eyes
would be greeted with II most won
dorful sight. The earth would appear
TO you to be siXty-four times larger
than the sun appears to the residents
Of this mundane sphere: this because
the earth has eight times the diane
ter OF the moon, therefore she must
necessarily show the moOnites sixty
four times as much surface as the
moon shows us. The sun, on the
other hand, would appear no larger
to you from your observatory on the
moon than it does from our globe.
The earth's atmosphere being blue it
has been decided that the earth must
appear as a blue ball to all outside
On-lookcrs. What glorious sight it
must be to our lunarian neighbors to
look upon bright blue, swift-re-
volying ball siXty-four times larger
than the sun'-St. Louis Republic.

do they read the agricultural papers as
carefully as they should.
With the advent of denser population
and consequent larger fruit production
and q keener competition in the leading
fruit markets of the East, will come a
demand for superior knowledge and
superior methods in our rural develop
ment. With this progressive educational
movement will come the necessity Of
patronizing and reading carefully the
literature of scientific farming in order to
keep up with the advanced ideas Of the
day. Especially is this true in relation
to the rising generation. The present
craze for city life should be discouraged,
and a love for country life encouraged.
What is more congenial than a home in
the country? Is it not the aspiration of
nearly all wealthy business men to own a
country place? To be away from the
noise and humdrum Of the city?
In view of all these facts we need more
and better agricultural educational facil-
tiles for the rising generation.-M. j.
Byrne, in Rural Californian.

Agricultural Education.

Agriculture, embracing as it does, so
many varied interests, subject to very
diverse conditions of soil and climate,
should command more attention at the
hands Of our educational institutions.
This fact cannot be too strongly empha-
sized when we consider the wide range of
learning that can be found useful and
available to all who follow soil tilling for
living. A liberal education in methods
Of propagation, cultivation, acknowledge
of plants, soils, etc, are OF course the
basis of an agricultural education; but
to be proficient requires also sOmeknOwl-
edge of the natural sciences-botany,
entomology, chemistry, the diseases OF
plant and animal life, and many other
minute details. 1t is not to be expected
that the student will become expert in
these exacting branches Ofscientifc inves-
tigatiOn; nevertheless some practical
knowledge of each is essential to the sue
cessfuI growing of crops.
That it requires a natural aptitude and
a liking for the business to become sue
cessful at farming goes without saving.
The various agricultural boards and hOr-
ticultural societies are doing a good
work in this direction, and so are many
papers; general and class journals, that
publish many of the essays read and
much of the discussion that periodically
takes place. But the unpleasant fact
remains that but comparatively few of
the vast numbers of farmers take any
active interest in these meetings, much less

For THE FLORIDA AGRIoULTURIsT.
Attention to Bees.


1t is high time we were looking after
our bees again.
Go through each colony and note
carefully their exact condition. See
that the queen is all righl or if you
don't find her readily see that there are
eggs and brood in the worker comb, which
signifies her presence. Note how many
combs contain eggs and brood, and
how many combs of honey, etc. Also
make a note of what they need and
when. Ii they have not an abundance
of honey feed them literally.
Keep a record of all this and the next
time you 60 through them you can tell
just what they are doing.
| use a clam shell for this purpose and
like it better than the little states.
If you have but two colonies they
should be numbered, and if more and
in different rows, each row is lettered
and each hive numbered. For instance
the first hive on the first row is A l,
AMI the second hive is A 2, etc. The
first hive on the second row is l, etc.
Your clam shell or slate, will read
something like this: G. SO. lay June
10, 90. Jan. 15.-Q %. X. Br. in [. G.
and E. in 2, c.: C. of H., Str. See
Jan 25th.
Which means No. on G row, queen
commenced laying June 10th, 1892.
This is all you need to carry over from
last year. Jan. Is (this year OF course)
queen all right, brood in one comb and
eggs in two, more combs, five combs OF
honey. Strong, need attention Jan. 25.
Copy this INTO your record book and
then if the shell gets lost or misplaced
you still have it.
You can tell what they need at any
time by looking at your book without
going over the yard.
If they are short Of stores feed them
literally, and have them strong and
ready for the long flow when it comes.
They consume more stores in the spring
rearing brood than it takes to run them
through the winter. J. H. HILL.
