Counting a Hens Feathers.

A very unique fearther-guessing
contest was recently conducted by
a prominent company manufacturing
feed fer poultry. Five hundred dol
lars in prizes was offered for best
estimates, or guesses, as to the num-
Der of feathers on a hen. The first
prize was 500.
Thousands of guesses were re-
ceived, including some very amusing
ones. One party, who was probably
looking for some catch" scheme,
estimated none at ALL" Many esti-
mates in the hundreds of thousands
were received, several in the mil
lions, the highest estimate being
G0c,OG0,O17. The correct number
was found to be S,12O. The company
says: I'VE feel pardonable pride
in having contributed to poultry sci
ence an item of information actually

frequently proved by applying the
feather end of a quill. The feather
tip is lightly drawn along the back,
stroking with the fur" There is
no motion. Again and again this
action is repeated, the stroke being
made gradually heavier. Still there
is no change. The strokes are direct
ed upon the head, with the same re-
suit. Then the feather is applied to
the neck with a waving motion in
tended to tickle it. The ant remains
motienless.
Finally the sleeper is aroused by a
sharp touch of the quill. She
stretches out her head; then her
legs, which she shakes also; steps
nearer to the light, yawns, and be-
gins to comb her antennae and brush
her head and mouth. Then she

Effect of Drugs Upon the Ewes.


Certain poisons possess tho prop
erty of acting in a decided manner
en- the eye. Atropine enlarges the
pupil and for this purpose has be-
come Indispensable in ophthalmol-
ogy. Santonine causes one to see
yellow.
Disturbances of vision have fur
thermcre been observed as second
airy effects of certain medicines; for
instance, after the use of quinine,
iodoform and naphthaline, which, in
case of intestinal catarrh, caused
a cataract. The worm disease in the
district of the Ruhr in Germany has
furnished an opportunity for the OBJ
servation that the popular fern-root,
much employed as remedy, may
give rise to serious ocular injury.
The use of this remedy in the case
of two miners led to rncurable blind
ness.
In the trades there are also poisons
which act especially upon the eye.
Very dangerous, above all, is lead,
which produces Inflammation and
atrophy of the optic nerve. Work
men in mustard factories" says a
German medical journal, often suf-
fer from Inflammation of the cornea,
in consequence of the action of the
mustard vapors upon the eye" Lat
terly, serious visual disturbances
have been produced by chlaric oxide
and chloric dioxide, poisonous vapors
generated by the use of magnesium

purposes.-Jeweller's Circular.
