Up to this point the instrument does
not differ essentially from a very an
Gent sun dial that has been described.
But the curve of the mean time en-
ables the determining even Of the lati-
tude of a place if it is not known. To
do this it is only necessary to observe
the passage Of the sun at noon. Plac0
the hour circle upon noon of the m-
sstrument and give to the axis A 8 an
inclination such as the image of the
sun forms upon the curve Of mean
time at a place corresponding to the
/ date Of the day of observation. If the
operation is commenced before mid
day the image will be seen to descend
upon the curye;it is constantly brought
back by lowering the axis A B. The
movement becomes slower little by
little and soon stops entirely The
axis A B will then be parallel to the
axis of the world, and by reading the
position of the circle M the latitude
is found. From this moment the in
strument can give the hour OF all
the sun dials constructed up to tho
present time the latter is doubtless the
most complete and best suited for all
approximate determinations that may
be needed during a voyage. 1t should
be called to the attention Of explorers.

greatest inclination being set from
north to south. In this way the axis
of the wheel is parallel to the axis of
the world. A lens Of nearly twenty
inch focus projects the image of the
sun upon piece curved in an arch of
the circle, and held upon the wheel di-
rectly opposite the lens. The Observa-
ton is made by bringing the image
upon the median line of the arch. The
hour is read upon the periphery of the
wheel opposite an index made in the
marble. The size of the apparatus con
structed by MI. Thcvenot is such that
minute of time corresponds to a

More Glover SOwn.

The best sign we know of that a
farmer is waking up to the need of
better farming is to see him prepare
to SOW more clover seed. It costs
little and pays more for the money
than any other farm implement he can
make. Therefore it should be always
the first step. It will half furnish
the money and the fertility of soil
necessary to take longer and more
expensive future steps. We hold
that clover should be sown with every
grain crop, even though the stl1bble
is to be plowed under the next fall
Often the clover catch will be so
good that the farmer will think it a
pity, as it surely is, to destroy it.
Then the gain will be all the greater,
but the growth, that clover will make
between March and September is
worth far more for manure then the
cost of seeding. It is as much richer
manure than most weeds which it
will displace, and has the further
advantage of getting most of it's
fertilizing properties, except the
mineral, from the air, and not as
weeds, always draw them from the
soil. For this reason clover among
grain SO far as we know never Injuries
the grain crop, and we have thought
it often helped it.--American Cultiva-

are two sorts, entirely distinct The
first are the incrlsted enamels and the.
second are the painted enamels En-
ameling consists in applying to the
metal surface a powder composed OF
pounded slick, or, to put it in the sim
plest form, of glass colored with,
metallic oxides, and then fixed by
fire. Thus it is obvious that the transi-,
ton was easy from letting colored
glass into gold or silver settings to,
melting the glass into its place so that
it adhered at the back.
The earliest enamels tell their own
story--they are '.cloisonne,'''' that is to
say, precisely as jewels were set in q
framework of metal, SO frameworks,
of metal were fashioned to contain
the glass melted into these cells. This;
was the construction Of cloisonne''5
enamel: First of all a fine band OF gold
was sOldered on to the base, standing
up from it at right angles and contorted
to form an outline such as was desired
to be given to the ornament ia lion If
green was to be the color for leaves,
then each leaf was formed Of the band
and closed to contain the green Each
petal of red rose would in like man
ner be enclosed so as to form gof0
pocket in which the red paste would
be melted into glass. Specimens IL

Sir Richard Owen used to relate re-

IN the jail and a post-mortem as well
as an inquest was necessary. After
the inquest the young surgeon saw the

Owen had at the time been ALREADY
attracted to the study Of comparative
anatomy. and negroes heads were not

this one should not be lost to the cause
or science. In the evening he returned
TO the prison with black bag contain

he had no difficulty in getting admit

I'D was unscrewed and screwed down
again.
During this process the brick and the
negroes head changed places. The
ground outside: the principal entrance
TO the jail had a considerable descent.

Farm Notes.

1t is a mistake to spread manure
over too much surface.
Use good oil with machinery when
and where it is needed. @.--.,. +.
Excessive fat is more or less detri-
mental to breeding animals of all
kinds. t.-
Thick seeding is the easiest way to
overcome the principal objections to
orchard grass. III. -.
An item in profitable stock feeding
is to have stock adapted to the wants
they are to supply. .
Farming, fully as much as any
other line Of business, is constantly
attended with cost.
Home made manure is the best that
can be used and every farmer can
make more or less of it.
On the majority of farms the acre
age to grass and clover can be ma
terially increased with benefit.
One of the principal causes Of fail
ure in securing a good stand of grass
is in failing to use plenty of seed.
Large yields nearly always cost
the most to produce but they gener-
ally return better proportionate
profit. >.@ .a
It is often the case that where
several COWS are kept, one or two will
return more net profit than all .o1

Fences and Fence Rows.

l often pass thirty-two acre field,
says l.. B. Pierce, in N. Y. Tribune,
which has had no roadside fence for
years, and although it lies along
very public highway, the loss from
encroachment of passing cattle has
not, think, amounted to q single
dollar. On the other hand, there has
been positive gain of a good many
dollars by removing the worm fence
and their accompanying nursery of
evils. This field is framed in four
strips or sections of eight acres
each. The roadside fence and the
division fences dispensed with would
more than equal half mile of fenc-
ing, worth at the lowest price of the
cheapest fence more than 500. The
land released from domination of
weeds and fence corners exceeds half
an acre, and the labor saved in not
having to cut an annual crop of
weeds and briers, added to the ex-
pense of annual repairs on the fences
/ have no doubt, equals the taxes
on the whole thirty two acres. In
cultivation there is no raking of
whiff1e trees against fence corners; no
projecting or scattered rails to wreck
the binder; no fringe of briers to gar
nish the outer row of sheaves. A line
of Euclid separates adjoining crops,
and the first furrow of one section lies
against the last furrow of the adioin-
ing one instead of resting barren and
weed-covered against the cornerstones
of an ancient fence. The mice, chip
monks, weasels, woodchucks, rabbits,
! snakes, catbirds and robins that once
found congenial homes in the old
fencerows have gone elsewhere, for a
condition and not a. theory confronts
them; a condition Of neatness, thrift
and economy, so at variance with
the very existence of the whole
..varmint'' tribe. Pretty as this
picture is, however, it is not possible
to reproduce it on every farm. Pad
/. docks and pastures Enclosures forone
purpose or another must exist, and
like an incurable disease. mitigation
must take the place of removal. The
first step is to construct a fence Of

which are no wider than the posts
