SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The tea plant Is said by Chinese
writer's to have been cultivated in that
country from at least 5000 B.C.
-As wood Is largely wanting in
Australian gold fields several steam
ships are now engaged in carrying TIM
Der from the Pacific coast tor use in
Australian mines. The steamships car
ry from 2,0OO, 900 to 2,5C0, 900 feet each.
The wood is California pine or fir.
Though Ireland has 3.coO, 900 acres
OF bog land, large quantities of
peat litter are imported from Bel
gium and Holland. Mills are be-
ing fitted up to separate the
litter from the turf, and it is hoped that
peat moss litter may soon be an article
Of export.
After two seasons of failure Ore
gon has an abundant crop of tomatoes.
There are oceans of them, and fine
ones, according to the Portland Ore
gonian. One factory alone is using
four to five tons per day, which are
bought for $40 per ton, and are made
into catsup.
"A correspondent of an English
party says: Il sent you on September
20 white turnip which l pulled from
large field near Burnmoor. About
one-half of the field is white turnips
and the other half swedes; the whole
of the whites are swarming with green
fly and rotting away, while the swedes
are quite healthy"
The hygienic value OF soap is hard
ly realized by the general public. Re-
cent experiments have shown that q
solution of soap will kill typhoid or
cholera microbes. A one per cent. solu-
ton will do so in IL hours, while q
seven or ten per cent. solution will do it
in few minutes. This is about the
simplest and most reliable means of
disinfecting that we have at our dis
posal.
Geological conditions have changed
great deal since the Cambrian age.
The continents then were much small
er and the ocean much larger, while
being shallower. The greater part Of
North America was submerged III Cam
brian times. Cambrian rocks. though
covered by later deposits in most places,
are exposed in few others, chiefly on
mountain peaks in America, Asia and
Australia.
LIN cultivating strawberries under
glass of various colors Prof. Zachare-
wiez, of Vaucluse, France, has obtained
the following results: Ordinary clear
glass gave the best and earliest fruit;
orange glass increased the vegetation,
but injured the quality, size and earli-
ness of the fruit; violet glass increased
the yield, at the expense of the quality;
red, blue and green glass were hurtful
to all kinds of vegetation.

underground refuge and disappear at
the first sound or sight of danger.
'Who, with memories of exhilerating
November mornings, when he has stood
on runway waiting for the hounds to
fetch round to him the fleet game they
have started, and has heard their music
fade away as the chase went afar, and,
after long time, heard it coming back
again, family at first, growing louder
and lor der as the distance grew up, nu-
till at last the frightened bunny came
bounding into sight ahead of it to meet
his fate, can believe that this verile
little creature is common, logy bur-
rover? If he has taken to the burrow
in southern New Jersey, to lie there
while the water comes in and browns
him, he is degenerate.
''The rabbit burrows it's home in the
ground. The hare fashions it's home in
bunches of tall, dry grass or beneath
the shelter of thick bush, and its nest
is called it's form The rabbits young
are born with their eyes closed, like
puppies. The eyes of the hare's little
ones are wide open the moment they
are born, and bright and watchful eyes
they are. The rabbits young require
a mothers care for nearly a month be-
fore they are able to care for them
selves, six days of which time they are
helpless and blind. The young hare
scorns it's mothers protection when it
is six days old, and goes hopping away
to see the world on its own account. I
have come upon young hares not much
bigger than rat, which have bounded
away with briskness AID evidence OF
strength and independence equal to
full-grown ones. It is true that our
miscalled native rabbit will frequently
seek the burrow of a woodchuck or
other hole in the ground when hard
pressed, with the same instinct for safe
ty that prompts him to creep under
brush piles and nestle there, or into the
depths of stone walls or the hollows
of stumps and trees. But he is ever an
outdoor dweller, brisk and alert. Even
the great jack rabbit of the far west
is not rabbit. If he were there could
not be the periodical round-ups which
the people afflicted by the presence Of
this pestiferous animal make of his
kind to slaughter them by thousands,
for then he would live in burrows, to
which he would naturally betake bim-
self in time of danger, and no corral
could ensue. The jack rabbit is simply
an overgrown hare, and no credit to his
family.
''If this plentiful small game that
abounds in New Jersey lives in burrows.
as alleged, it is the rabbit, sure enough.
and 1t il the first place In this country
that ever heard Of where the true wild
rabbit could be found. Consequently

time for them to cultivate the spirit
Of mutual forbearauce aud q desire
to do the best that can be done to
place their party on the strongest
possible foothold, not only for the

to do at Chicago is to keep their
party intact, to present q united
front to the republicans and make q
ticket and platform which will be
hard to beat, and which. in any case,
whether elected or defeated, will
maintain the party's historical prin-

nation and leave il strong and read y

The democratic party is not now

Czar Made Good Impression.

Paris, Oct 10.-All who were present
at the review OF the cZar at Camp de
Chalons yesterday, agree to the firmness
and emphasis which the cZar gave to
significant passages OF a speech at the
banquet after the review. The whole of
the 10000 troops which took part in the
review were drawn up In double line
along the route to the station as the car
riage containing their majesties and
President Faure passed. and the colors
OF every regiment were lowered, the inn
perial pair returning the salute. 1t was
an imposing array, and will leave an in
delible impression upon the minds of all
those who saw IL. Upon arriving at the
railway station. the czar, In bidding fare
well, thanked all the ministers for the
satisfactory arrangements for his visit.
President Faure then kissed the czar
mas hand and embraced the czar. The
train, with their majesties on board.
started at o'clock, amid the vivas and
cheers of the spectators. General Bois-
deffre and Admiral Gervais will ac-
company their majestes to the frontier
President Faure started on his return 10
Paris soon after. Detaille. the celebrated
painter OF battle scenes, attended yes
terday's review In order to secure
sketches from which TO paint picture.
which the Paris journalists intend to
present to the czar.
