Decay of Animal Matter,

A great many proofs now more or
less familiar to most people show quite
clearly that the decay of animal or
vegetable matter is not simple chem
ical change, inevitable in the nature
of things, but violent interference
with the natural course on the part OF
hostile organisms. The bacteria which
produce decomposition are very minute
plants, which grow, like mushrooms
or molds, upon organic matter, and
which reproduce their like with incred-
ible rapidity. .
Tyndall showed = ego that the
spores Of these plal exist in myriads
in the air, floating everywhere around
us; that they occupy all crannies and
empty places on the surface Of the
earth, and that they swarm in their
millions in all ponds and puddles. An
easy way of proving that these spores
alone and the plant colonies which
spring from them are the cause of pu-
trefaction may be obtained by boiling
beef tea in test tube, 80 as to kill
the bacteria, and then, while the liquid
is still steaming, closing up the
mouth of the tube with plug Of cot
ton wool, which admits the air but
strains out the germs of the putrefac-
tive organisms. Under these condi-
tions the beef tea will keep good for
years, but if you remove the plug it
will begin OF once to putrefy.-Long-
man Magazine.

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

M. Plato of Rio de Janeiro has dis

consists in immersing the meat in 3

According to the experiments of M.

olive oil, sometimes with the addition

obtained excellent results in three
cases of pityriasis rubra and in cases
of eczema squamosa. In the latter
disease he adds some stimulant, such
as the oil of cade, etc. He has also
obtained good results in various forms
of erythema.

they were always in conflict not only
with the whites, but with themselves,
for they had two chiefs who did not
work in harmony, for one was a
Scotchman and the other was not.
Sidney Smith said that Scotchmen
were generally right, but when wrong
were the wrongest people in the world
and no argument could turn them.
| The word "scoteh," "scotch the
wagon" came from their stubborn
ness. But they were true to faith and
TO principle. Every signer Of the
Mecklenburg declaration of independ.
ence in 1775 was Scotchman, or as
they are now generally called, "Scotch-
Trish," that is, Scotchmen who removed
to the north of Ireland. 1t is very
strange that so many of them came to
this wild country and mingled with
the Indians and married their daugh-
ters. There were the Rogers brothers
on the Chattahoochee who took Indian
wives. They were good men, good
citizens and well educated. Ny wife

When John Albert, the Duke Of
Mecklenburg- Schwerin, announced
the recent accession Of his young
nephew to the Grand Duchy and his
own assumption Of the regency, he
couched his proclamation in the same
phraseolosy as that Of the mobiles and
princes in the Middle Ages, when all
the mercantile, agricultural and man
ufacturing classes were looked upon
as mere serfs and CATTLE, Thus, the
concluding sentence was: 'We look

n wOntierfuI Sign,

Prussia fifty years ago had a State
lottery, and in every town, large OF
small, was collector, appointed to sell
the tickets. One day a servant girl
came to the collector In Hagan, and
asked II she could buy No. %.
He did not have 1t In his possession,
but rs the girl seemed very much In
earnest and refused to be put off with
any other number, he tried to obtain Il
from some Of the other collectors IN
town and finally succeeded.
The drawing took place and HagaD
rose to state Of feverish excitement
when 1t was known that this girl had
become Il winner of large sum of
money. She found herself, for time,
the chief object Of interest in the town.
She was, OF course, asked how she
came to fix upon No. %. Thereupon she
gave this simple and lucid explanation:
II dreamed one night No. 7, and a sec.
ond night dreamed No. Z, and third
night again. So thought. Three times
seven makes twenty-three, ana
bought that number"

A Fireproof Paint.

Fireproof paints have been alto
gether satisfactory. Those that have
proved effective have, of course, had
no oil in their composition. Water
is alone used as the blending agent.
One Of the standard paints Of this
class is described as consisting of 40
pounds Of powdered asbestos, ten
pounds of illuminate of soda, ten
pounds of lime and 80 pounds of sill
cate of soda, with the addition of any
nonresinous coloring matter desired,
the whole thoroughly mixed with
water, that is, enough Of the latter for
producing a perfect blend and render
ing an easy application; two or more
coats Of this is the rule in applying it
to any wood surface, inside or outside
n building Another formula involves
the use of 40 pounds Of finely ground
glass, like amount Of ground por-
celain and similarity of china clay or
the same quantity Of powdered asbes-
tos and pounds of quicklime. These
materials are ground very fine and
then mixed in 60 pounds Of liquid sill
cate Of soda, with water, as in the pre-
ceding formula; two or more coats, if
necessary, are given. Each Of these
paints is applied with brush in the
ordinary way, the drying being accom-
plished in few hours, and, if color
ing matter is desired, the above pro.
portions are varied accordingly. Fur.
Their, if used one after the other, the
following solutions are effectively fire
restraining, namely. solution Of sill.
cate Of soda in water and then mix.
ture Of quicklime. asbestos and some
white lead.

Big Coins.

It is said that the largest gold coin
now in circulation is the gold ingot or
'1ool" of Anan, n French colony in
Eastern Asia. It is fiat, round gold
piece, and on it is written in India ink
its value, which is about 1920. The
next size coin to this valuable but ex-
tremely awkward one is the "Obang
of Japan, which is worth about $55,
and next comes the "benda." The
heaviest silver coin in the world also
belongs to Anan, where the silver
ingot is worth about S15; then comes
the Chinese 'tael," and then the Aus
trian double thaler.
