Blue Balloons.

In case you ever feel tempted to buy
9 balloon don't buy blue one. Red
ones are the best. THERE'S scientific
reason why. According to the re-
searches Of n. Reynaud, caoutchouc is
strongly attracted by the ultra violet
rays from the mercury vapor lamp
with quartz tube, which IS power
ruI source Of such rays. This fact has
q practical bearing in connection With
balloon envelopes. which are treated
with caoutchouc. Aeronauts are IA
miiiar with the discovery that the en-
re!opes suffer during ascensions, and
this IS explained by the greater effect
Of ultra violet rays at high attitudes.
Experiment had already led to using
yellow coloring matter on the envel.
opes, ard red balloons are sometimes
seen, but never blue or violet. NJ.
Reynaud considers that red is the best
color to use, rs it not cnly absorbs the
ultra violet rays. but also the blue
rays, and these last are likely to share
in the bad action Of the suns rays upon
hailoons.-Ncw York World.

Rock sals ciscovered by Accident.

Rock Salt Discovered by Accident.
The great rock salt deposits of Louis
lana were discovered by accident in
May, 1862. Salt was very scarce at
that time, and the proprietor Of the
Islands salt works. John Marsh Avery,
determined to profit by it. With this
end in view he commenced to deepen
his wells. One negro workman, after
going down sixteen feet, came to Nr.
Avery with the news that he had
struck a sunken log, and could pro-
ceed 10 further. Mr.. Avery investlgat-
cd and found, not q log, but the great
rock salt deposit that has made Louis
lana famous throughout the country.
The discovery did not come altogether
as surprise, as Thomassy had pre-
dicted that q great rock salt deposit
would one day be discovered IN each OF
the five Gulf islands, and perhaps IN
other portions Of the state. Since the
close Of the war, rock salt has been
an important contributing factor in the
mineral wealth OF the state.-Nation9l

The WAGON Wheel Paradox.

4 very Interesting paradox IS the one
concerning an ordinary wagon wheel,
which is solid and rigid, yet, when fas-
tened on it's axle on a wagon, when the
wagon moves part Of the circumfer-
eace Of the wheel which is in contact
with the ground is for an instant at
absolute rest, while the point directly
perpendicular to it is flying along at 4
high rate OF speed. The two points

arc travelling pretty fast. but only half
rs fast us The :opmost point. and as
the up going horizontal point Increases
in speed The down going one slows up
anti! it is ut rest tor 4 moment when

wheel is one solid piece and there are
ONLY two points going at the same rate
uf speed at the same time. Yet II the

HINTS ON THE CHERRY AND
THE PEAR TREE SLUG

The slugs have already begun 20
hatch in the warmer orchard sec
tions of the state, and wherever they
are found appearing in any consider
able numbers upon the leaves of the
cherry. pear or plum trees, the trees
should receive an application of ar
senate of lead. Black Leaf Extract
or hellebore before it is too late to
save the foliage. If the arsenate of
lead is used, apply in the proportion
dred gallons of water. Use a fine
spray and apply it so as TO moisten
the upper surface of Che leaves, up
on which the slugs feed.
If Black Leaf Extract is used, ap-
ply in the proportion of one part to
sixty five parts of water. If the
stronger preparation known as
BLACK Leaf 4O'' is used, apply in
the proportion of one part to about
seven or eight hundred of water.
White hellebore should be used in
place of arsenate of lead where
there is danger of poisoning fruit
that is soon to be used, and may be
applied in the proportion of one
ounce TO each three gallons OF
water. This poison is best used
late in the afternoon and should also
be so distributed as to fall upon the
upper surfaces of the leaves as
much as possible. One application
of any of these poisons should be
sufficient to rid the trees almost
completely of the slugs. but If 9th
ers should hatch later 1t may be
necessary to repeat the application.
This insect appears in two broods,
the second one usually appearing
about the first week in August. The
second brood comes after the cher
ries are picked and is often the
more destructive, as the slugs at
this time of the year often almost
completely defoliate the trees and
so weaken them that they are not
able to live over winter and put out
leaves the following spring.
