Ncutralixing Arsenic vapors.

The counties Of Cornwall and De.
von, in England, are the center of a
thriving arsenic manufacturing in.
1ustry. In the process Of production
Of this mineral the arsenical pyrites
are roasted and condensed in long
dues, some of which III for half a
mile. Formerly, eve with the great
est care, much of the arsenic would
be uncondensed, and the escaping
fumes constituted a seurce of danger
to cattle. many of which died from
eating grass in the neighborhood of
the works. The frequent actions for
damages which ensued at last stim-
ulated the manufacturers to remedy
the evil. This has been accomplished
by means of wash towers, a dry filter
made of brushwood, gorse, ETC., which
Is found to arrest almost the whole of
the arsenic fumes in the escaping
gases. 1t is recorded that in a test
made without the filter there was as
much as IA grains of arsenic fumes
in a cubic foot of the gases passing
into the air, whereas the average is
now less than 4 of a grain per cubic
foot. This result has been FASTENED
by the recent agitation in England in
favor of purer air for the people of
cities and manufacturing districts.

Fishing Owls.

beds il, their state. Naturally the FISH
ing is all done at night ard the water
on the mid1lake spawning grounds be-
ing very low has given the owls the
chance which they have improved.
Quite likely the saibling expose some
portion of their bodies above the wa

water attracts the night birds, and
every morning the spawn takers have
found evidence of their visits.-Forest

A MORAL.

I had a little spot Of ground
Where blade nor blossom grew;
Though the bright sunshine all around,
Life giving radiance threw,
I mourned to see a spot so bare
OF leaves Of healthful green
And thought of bowers, and blossoms
fair,
I frequently had seen.
Some seeds of various kinds lay by
I knew not what they were
But, rudely turning DER the soil,
I strewed them thickIy there.
And day by day / watched them spring
From out the fertile earth,
And hoped for many a lovely thing
OF beauty and Of worth.
But as I marked their leaves unfold
As weeds before my view,
And saw how stubbornly and bold
The thorns and nettles grew
I sighed to think that I had done,
Unwittingly, a thing
That, where a beauteous bower should
thrive,
But worthless weeds did bring.
And thus I mused: The things we do
With little heed or ken
May prove of worthless growth, and
strew
With thorns the paths of men.
Fol little deeds, like little seeds,
May flowers prove, or noxious weeds.

A Strange Question.

The children's faces wore various
expressions, such as fear, merriment,
scorn, ETC., as the good-natured hired
man spun off his usual winter-eve
tales, in which he made Of himself a
hero. martyr, or villain. But all unit
ed in the fervent cry. "Tell us anoth-

With one gruling swallow he dis
posed of a huge glass of new cider,

so, of course, the animal who lives but
