SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The worlds annual crop of tea is
said to be about 456,OOO,OOO pounds. OF
this Great Britain uses $4,000, 900
pounds per annum.
The tea plant succeeds well in Cali
fornia, and number of years ago ex-
tensive gardens were planted i'll that
state by colony of Japanese.
AS much mocha coffee comes from
Brazil as from Arabia. The Brazilian
mocha consists of small round beans
growing at the tops of the branches.
These are culled out from the others
with great care and sold at much
higher rate.
"A new understanding device for
furnaces is an attachment automatic
ally feeding a quantity of oil to the fire
when fuel is added. As the oil burns it
consumes the smoke, the injection of
oil being adjusted at will to the amount
of smoke expected at each fresh charge
of fnel.
1t is stated by Mr.. R. NJ. Bache in
the Psychological Review that negro
children are quicker in their motions
than the offspring of white persons,
and he suggests that the higher men
tai qualities of civilized white races
may have been gained at the sacrifice
of quickness of response to outside
stimuli.
M. Woitoff, professor of bacteriol-
ogy in Moscow,was experimenting with
the bacteria that produce putrefaction
a year ago, when the bottle containing
the microbes burst, and small frag.
ment of the glass scratched his neck
slightly. The wound healed, but he be-
came i'll. and after suffering year has
just died of the poison.
A growing thought with bacteri-
ologists is that the healthful actions OF
life are dependent as much on bacterial
action as those which seem to have a
deleterious effect. The sugar of the
maple tree, undoubtedly useful in the
trees economy, seems the result of bac-
terial action. While, however, one form
of bacterium may be at work in the
sugar factory, another, with Other
views, may be laboring to upset its
work.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.


There are six tunnels in the world
which have a length exceeding $1,000
feet-St. Gothard, Mont Cents, Hoosac,
Severn, Nochistongs and Suits.
A small planet, the tenth discovered
this year and the 4O6th in the list, was
recently discovered by Prof. Max Wolf,
of Heidelberg.
1t is said that the inferior grades of
tea are greatly adulterated by the
Chinese, who use for this purpose plum
b4go, turmeric, indigo, prussian blue,
chiI.e clay and other substances.
Coca, like mate, confers wonderful
powers of endurance. Under it's in

known to travel continually for 80
hours, covering in that time distance
of over 100 miles.
Lake George is 326 feet above the
sea and 225 feet above Lake Champaign,
with the upper end of which it is parallel
through most of it's course, and but a

Twelve miles west Of Hereford, at
the southern end of the Golden valley,
the nave of the old Cistercian abbey OF
Dore was dug up last summer. There
were nine bays to the nave, divided by
columns 31s feet in diameter. Parts
of the rude screen and fragments of
shrine in 18th century carving, with
traces of color, were found, together
with armorial and embossed tiles.
The biggest moose head ever seen
in Maine was brought into Bangor the
other day by T. d. NJ. Cardeza, of Phil
adelphia. The antlers spread CO inches,
just two inches more than those on a
head owned by Hon. C. b. Hazeltine
of Belfast, Me-, which was, until Mr..
Cardeza secured his trophy, the big
gest moose head in Maine. Mr. Cardeza
shot the moose at the foot of Chesuncool
lake.
An interesting relic was discovered
near San Bernardino, Cal, recently. 1t
is an immense sculptured arrow head
four feet four inches long and weighing
more than 200 pounds. 1t is of BLUSH
granite and shaped in perfect imitation
OF the smaller arrowheads frequently
found in that region. On the mountain
side, near where the stone was found
is a natural formation in the shape OF
an arrowhead many feet in length and
conspicuously visible for many miles.

FAST COLORS WERE THESE.
Egyptians Knew the Art of Making Dyes
That Lasted for Years.

In antiquity besides indigo and pur-
pie few colors were employed, and
these were obtained for the most part
from the vegetable kingdom, but their
purity was so great that they have
kept we'll to our own times, after hav-
ing undergone for centuries the action
of the air and the sun. The fact is
very remarkable in the Egyptian
tombs; the stone has been disin-
tegrated by weathering, while the col
ors have been preserved. The color
that we meet most frequently is a mix
ture of reddish brown oxide of iron
(red hematite) and clay, known under
the name of Pompeiian red. This coll
or, which has resisted for 1000 years
the sun of Egypt and the action of the
air, is equally proof against acids. The
Egyptians reduced it by rubbing be-
tween stones under water to degree
of fitness that we cannot obtain nova
days by chemical precipitation. An
equally precious yellow pigment, also
much used, was formed of natural
oxide or iron mixed with much clay,
chalk and water and Drowned by the
action of the heat; this mixture gives
orange. For this yellow color gold
bronze or gold leaf was also employed.
For blue they used glass covered with
copper minerals; this pigment was not
less permanent than the preceding,
even acids having very little effect
upon it. Gypsum or plaster of paris
furnished white and also formed the
basis of pale colors when organic pig
ments were added to it, probably mad
der for red. The colors were always
thinned and rendered adhesive by
means of gums. 1t is interesting to
know, as is proved by inscriptions, that
the artists regarded their colors as i'm
perishable.-Cosmos.

knees. and while I praved beard hin,

knees, and while prayed heard him
sobbing out the cry of his soul to God.
His wife knelt beside me and fol-
lowed me in earnest prayer. The words
were simple and broken with sobs, but
somehow they went straight up from
her crushed heart to God, and the poor
man began to cry in earnest for mercy.
40 God! break these chains that
are burning into my soul! Pity me,
and pity my wife and children, and
break the chains that are dragging me
down to hell. o God! be merciful to
me, sinner And thus out of the
depths he cried to God, and, He heard
him and had compassion upon him, and
broke every chain and lifted every bur-
den; and he arose free and redeemed
man.
"When he rose from his knees he
said: Now 1 will sign the pledge and
keep it.
"And he did. A family altar was es-
tablished; the comforts of life were
soon secured-for he had a good trade
and two weeks after this scene his
little girl came into my husbands Sun
day school with white shoes and white
dress, and a blue sash on, as a token
that her fathers money no longer went
into the saloon-keeper's till.
But what struck me most of all was
that it took less than two hours of my
time thus to be an ambassador for
Christ in declaring the terms of Heav-
ems great treaty whereby soul was
saved from death, multitude of sins
were covered, and a home restored to
purity and peace" ~ Frances E. W.

A POPLAR-TREE HEDGE,
Some Fine Ruins Found In the JungIes of
hashmlr

Some Fine Ruins Found In the Jungles of
Kashmlr.
We observed a row of enormous pop
lars planted very close together, and
their leaves forming thick and solid
wall of foliage. These poplars are so
managed as to form real hedge of
strength equal to any masonry, and
infinitely more beautiful. They are so
planted that when full grown there
is not more than two or three feet OF
space between them. While very
young, the bark is slit open and the
end Of stout pole is inserted under
it, the other end being similarly insert
ed into the next tree; about foot high
er up this process is repeated, and so
on for eight or even ten feet. AS the
young trees grow, these poles are firm
ly clasped by the bark, which complete
ly incloses them, and the pole becomes,
in fact, a part of the tree. Nothing
could be simpler or more etfectual.
When the trees are well grown, vines
and other creepers are trained up them,
and these keep out inquisitive eyes as
completely as the trees and poles pre-
vent access to the garden within. The
poplars grow to an immense height,
and a more stately and magnificent
hedge cannot easily be imagined.
The residency at Srinagor is sur
rounded by such hedge, and the row
of poplars we saw at Baramoula was
evidently the last relic of some once
beautiful garden, belonging, perhaps.
to some former king, but now long de-
serted and forgotten. Such relics ara
strewn broadcast all over India. A few
ruined archways and pillars tell of a.
huge palace, where some splendid mon
arch held his court, and royal revels
made those now silent archways re-
sound with mirth. Often in the heart
of wild jungle have 1 found and mused
over these gigantic remains, perhaps
an immense tank that once had a solid
cement floor; beautiful marble steps
led down to the water; colonnade
with pillars and much carved work
surrounded it. Who built it? Who
enjoyed it? No one can tell; the basin
is filled up with rotten leaves, the roots
of the peepul tree have split the marble,
stairs in every direction; crumbling
mass of brickwork in the center indi-
Gates where stood the rajah's pleasur
pavilion; the ruined colonnade is in
habited only by snakes and monkeys
