Electrodes In Boilers,

Some additional evidence is reported
in the foreign journals of the success of
the Amethod announced awhile ago for
preserving steam boilers against pitting
and general corrosion. This is accom-
plished by fixing electrodes in the boil
ers and sending periodically currents of
electricity through them, under definite
conditions, adjusted and controlled by
automatic action. When the current is
passing from the anodes suspended in
the boiler to the shell, hydrogen is lib
Grated on the shell and tubes, and oxy-
gen ON the anodes. Then. by means of
the depolarizing apparatus, the action
is changed, most of this hydrogen and
oxygen recombining, with the result
that, during the first period, the hydro
gen performs two distinct functions
first, it disintegrates mechanically, by
Its volume, the scale formed on the shell
and tubes, and. second, some of the n.y.
drogen combining chemically with the
oxygen of the oxide of iron on the shell
and tubes reduces this oxide to metallic
iron, thus doing away with the oxida-
ton of the boiler without wearing away
the metal. The secondary action, in q
word, is to facilitate the disintegratior
of the scale, hasten the mechanical &C.
ton of the hydrogen in bursting it of
and prevent polarization of the shell
and tubes oxidation, It is well known,
not being able to take place in the pres.
ence of hydrogen gas.

The Berries of the Summer.

Currants make delicious ice cream,
writes Eliza r. Parker IN an article that
will be found of especial value by ali
housekeepers. in the June Ladies
Home Journal. Mash two pounds of
ripe red currants; add a pound of sugar
to them, and let stand for two hours.
Strain and add the juice to IL quart of
thick, sweet cream: if not sufficiently
sweet add more sugar: pour ia ii freezer,
let stand ten minutes and frnezr.
Currant water ice, which is also good
is made by boiling one pound of sugar
and pint of water together until it
forms a thick syrup; take from the fire;
add pint and half of red currant
inice; let cool; pour in freezer; when
half frozen stir in the beaten whites of
six eggs; mould and freeze hard
Currants and gooseberries are very
dainty and ornamental when crysta
lzed. Select ripe, firm fruit; leave on
the stems; dip first in beaten white of
an egg, then in powdered sugar: ar
range on paper and set in cool oven
for ten minutes; when the icing be-
comes firm pile in Il glass dish, and set
in n cool place.
A pretty way to serve black berries
with cream is to pick fresh, ripe Der
ries over carefully; heap them in a glass
bowl and set on ice; serve on saucers,
with little bowls of sugar and pitchers
of cream. allowing each person at the
table to sugar the fruit to suit taste
Blackberries may be served with mer
ingue as follows: Place a quart of ripe
blackberries in a bowl; sprinkle with
powdered sugar; beat the whites of
three eggs with half cup of sugar, and
spread over the berries; set ON ice until
very cold. Blackberry fluInmery is
made by placing pint of ripe black
| berries in saucepan with pint of
| water; let boil slowly without stirring
for ten minutes; moisten two table
spoonfuls of corn starch with cold wa
ter; stir into the berries; let thicken;
| take from the fire and add half a tea
cup of sugar; when cool serve with
sugar and cream.
70 make raspberry, blackberry.
whortleberry or gooseberry preserves,
pick the berries over carefully, reject
ing all soft and imperfect ones. Weigh
the fruit and sugar; put the latter in a
porcelain-lined preserve kettle with
water to dissolve; boil until thick; add
the fruit; let cock very slowly until
clear. Take up carefully, put in small
glass jars and cover. If the seeds of
berries are not liked, the juice may be
strained, measured and boiled with the
sugar until firm, when a seedless jam
will be the result. All summer berries
make excellent jams.

Tho Life Htstors ufCoraIs.

The life history of corais is sufficiently
remarkable in it's sober facts. Like other
animals, they produce eggs, from which
free swimming young are Matched. But
they have two other methods of propa-
gation--namely, termination and FISH
parity. Between animals and plants in
general there is no distinction which
makes itself more prominent and OBJ.
trusive than the free individual life Of
the one and the fixed colonial life of the
other. By genlmation, the successive
putting forth of buds, an industrious
vegetable, starting with a seed of insig-
nifcant size, may build massive struc-
ture, sometimes 400 feet in height, the
resultant of individuals almost innumer-
able, belonging to hundreds or thousands
of generations, all of them the living
members of single family, successfully
sacrificing their individuality to. promote
the common good and to share'it
This procedure in plant life is illus
trated by an endless diversity of exam
pies, great and small. Whatever excep-
lions there may be, this, to the ordinary
observer, is tho customary, the common.
place; the distinctive habit in the vege.
table kingdom. Thus it came to pass
that men did not believe their own eyes
when they met with animals behaving
in way that seemeisS be the patent
right of vegetables. Inc isolated sea

which took to sprouting out of stems
and branches, had to be incontinently

Medical Etiquette.'

Mr.. Ashurst, medical man at PEN
dleton, Lancashire, believing himself
to have been treated by brother prac-
titioner named Anderton, atNew Mills
in manner contrary to professional
etiquette, endeavOred to relieve his
feelings by dispatching to his rival q
telegram in the words, Your conduct
is abominable, and shall not fail to
resent it.. This was an attack that
Mr.. Anderton was not disposed to put
up with, for kilograms are necessarily
seen by more eyes than one, and a
charge of "abominable conduct" is apt
to set village tongues wagging. So he
called on the, libeller for an apology,
and this satisfaction not being forth
coming he brought an action of libel.
which was tried at Manchester.
The original quarrel was, it appear
ed, about patient who, being dissatis-
fed with Mr.. Ashurst, called in Mr..
Anderton, who ought, it was alleged,
to have notified the fact to his dismissed
predecessor. But Mr.. Justice Day de-
clared that he had no sympathy with
what he called violating the right
which doctors claim of monopoly to
kill, and he added, Il know doctors
claim right not to he interferred with,
but the public have as much right to
change their doctors as they have to
change their bakers" For all that, the
judge stigmatized the action as "a most
trumpery one," and the jury, having
found verdict for the plaintiff, with
a farthing damages. left each party to
pay his own costs--London News.

In Front Of Petersburg, 1864.

The lines of the confronting forces at
the orator front were about ITO yards
apart, and so accurate were the sharp
shooters that hat raised on a ramrOd
ever so slightly above the crest of the
parapet was sure to be soon perforated
with balls; indeed, ceaseless vigilance
was the only guarantee against injury
at any point along these lines, and in
credible as it may seem, it is neverthe-
less true that soldiers facing to the
front. and with the earth works be
tween the enemy and themselves, were
frequently struck in the back by the
bullets just gazing the edge of the
parapet in passing ever with downward
inclination, striking some hard sub.
stance behind and glancing diagonally
forward. Hence there was not always
discredit in being wounded in the back
while serving in these trenches.
Danger became of such hourly occur
renee, that it's presence made it jocular
with the soldiers. When broadside
would issue from a Federal battery,
and the heavy missiles come hurtling
toward our works, the cry, "naore
breGd," would go up from the near by
soldiers, which meant that as soon as
night or flag of truce allowed, the
fragments of metal would be exchang-
