a CuRIoJs nAII.0oS EXPERIMENT.

An interesting scientific experiment
was made yesterday in Paris with the
aid of balloon, which was sent up
from villette at 1890. The object of
the experiment was to collect a guam
tity of the atmosphere at a very great
altitude for purposes of analysis. The
balloon was, therefore, sent up alone
with the necessary instruments at
tached to it. These consisted of an en-
tirely new kind of reservoir, capable OF
holding six litres OF air. To this was
attached spiral arrangement termin-
ating in a tap hermeticaIly sealed. but
SO arranged with a clock-work of ap-
paratus that it would omen just one
hour after the ascent and close again
one minute later. A good deal of in
genuity had been displayed in this in
vention. In order to preserve the reser-
voir from the intense cold of the upper
regions it was surrounded by bath Of
soda water which was expected to.
keep the apparatus at an even temper
ature. In addition the balloon also car
RED two baro-thermograph for regis
tration purposes at high attitudes. At
tacbed to the balloon are instructions
to those who may find it, so that it
may be carefully wrapped up and for
warded to Paris forthwith.-Westmin

NEW system OF FACING BUTTER

A new system of packing butter,
which, if successful, will greatly dimin-
ish the expense of shipping it, by dis
pensing with the necessity of keeping
it in freezing chambers, is being tried
in Australia. The plan is that of pack
ing it in patent cell-box, consisting of
six sheets of glass arranged in the form
Of a cube, the Joints being covered with
adhesive grease-proof paper. 1t is
made in different sizes, to hold from
one pound to two hundredweight of
butter. When the box is filled it is
covered with about a quarter of an
inch of plaster of paris, which in turn
is covered with a specially prepared
paper if the box is a small one, or with
canvas if it is large. Tt is claimed that
the plaster, being a non-ccnductor of
heat, preserves the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
butter from being affected by any tenn
perature likely to be encountered. A
considerable amount of butter thus
packed has been sent from Victoria to
West Australia, Queensland and South
Africa, and in all cases, it is said. the
results have been satisfactory Trial
consignments have also been sent to
this country.-New York Ledger.

APPLE oRcHARD FROM SEED.

A very interesting story is told by

securing an apple orchard from seed.
Twenty-n1ne years ago the seed were
planted from which came the stocks

he has now 1,400 apple trees set, most
of them the past twelve to fourteen
years. Last year he set 900 Baldwin
trees, all grown by himself from seed.
and top-grafted when they became
high enough to form top. The trees
set ten years ago are bearing a few
apples Those set twelve or fourteen
years ago are loaded. He will prob
ably nave $50 barrels of Baldwin ap-
pies this year, besides some of other
varieties. Mr.. Miller sets the trees
thirty by forty feet, which gives plen-
ty of room to grow. The apple crop
thus far has paid all the labor of clear
ing the old pasture in which the trees
were set, and the cost of setting and

THE EABTHQUAKEs IN ICELAND.

Cured in the southwest of Iceland in
the afternoon Of the 18th ult. and the

says, that have taken place since 1884
They were felt over an area of about
5000 square miles. 'T visited says Mr.

former had been jerked to one side and

damaged severely. 1t was, however.
the districts near Hecla that suffered
most. The centre of the earthquake
seems to have been in the volcanic
range out of which this mountain rises.
The extent of the damage done is not
yet fully known. AT least fifty farms
and homesteads have fallen down, sew
eral churches have been damaged, one
man severely wounded thirty sheep
and five cows killed. The inhabitants
saved their lives by jumping half naked
out of the windows. The household Of
one farm were buried under the ruins,
but one of them got away and brought
help from the neighbors, who dug them
out stil alive. In one district twenty
seven homeSteads were destroyed out
of thirty-one. The appearance of the
land has been changed. In places the
earth has been rent asunder, hot
springs have disappeared and new ones
appeared, tracts of water have taken the
place of dry land, and great rocks have
rolled down from the mountains and
formed new hills. The great geyser is
still existing. Hundreds of people are
homeless and have lost their property.
They sleep in tents, and already a COM
mfttee has been formed TO receive sub
scriptions for the relief Of these people.
The governor has promised a sum of
money from the treasury. The relief
is, however, hardly sufficient for the
great need. Any subscriptions should

fortunate enough to own an orchard,

should be peeled, cored and freed from

small pieces. A large earthen jar with
a cover should be ready to receive them.
Into this put first liberal sprinkling of
sugar, with cinnamon to taste, then a
layer Of apples, then more sugar and
cinnamon, and 80 on till the jar is full.
The sugar should be regulated according
to the tsrtness Of the apples, from a
quarter to a half a pound for one pound
of apples being the rule, The jar should
be placed at the back of the range and
the fruit kept covered and gently simmer
ing through the day. 1t should then be
set away to cool, and the apples taken
out only as they are needed for sauce or
desserts. Having no water mixed with
them, apples prepared in this way are
very palatable.-September Ladies'

How MOther-O'-Pearl Buttons Are Made.

Though buttons of all kinds are made
in Birmingham, the pearl branch is the
most extensive. Mother-o'pearl is a
most suitable material for making but
tons; it is so strong, so pretty, and so
easily worked. The shells are obtained
from Australia, Manila, Bombay, Egypt,
South America, and some other places.
They are as large as dessert-plates, and
half an inch in thickness. The button
maker cuts the shell up into lozenge-
shaped pieces OF various sizes, 80 as to
leave as little waste as possible, for the
shells are expensive, a ton of picked
specimens costing e300 The cutting is
done by means Of saw IN the shape OF
tube, with the teeth cut upon the rim
Of one Of its ends. The saw is made to
spin round in lathe, and rapidly pierces
the shell held to it by the workman, cut
ting out piece which is as large as its
internal diameter, The pieces thus cut
are too thick to be used for buttons, and
are split up into three or more lozenges,
each of which is turned separately in a
lathe, and has the holes drilled in it
through which it is to be sewn to the
garment on which it is ultimately to find

forty Of the towns where it is law,
show that the fine or imprisonment

the ordinance is not enforced in any
oppressive manner. In the case Of
evening winter or summer entertain
ments, which would keep the children
out later than the curfew hour, authority
is easily obtained and readily granted by
the Mayor or town official for an exten-
sion Of the time. It's rigid enforcement
is applied most strictly to the hoodlum
element, and with this class the police
claim they have never been able to deal
so successfully. 1t will be at once
obvious to all right-minded parents, I
think, that they should give the weight
Of their influence to the curfew ordinance

The editor of an exchange has dis
covered the fact that this is sort Of
topsy-turvy world. One man is strug-
Cling for justice, and another is fleeing
from it. One man is saving up to build
a house, and another is trying to sell his
house for less than it cost, to get rid Of
it. One man is spending all the money
he can make in taking a girl to an
entertainment and sending her flowers,
in hopes eventually to make her his wife,
while his neighbor is spending the gold
he has to got a divorce. One man escapes
all the diseases that man is heir to, and
gets killed on railroad; another goes
without scratch, and dies Of whooping-
cough.
