Unstable Moon.

The celebrated observatory at
Greenwich, the place from which we
reckon longitude, was founded by
Charles II in 1875. mainly for the pur-
pose Of investigating the movements
of the moon in the interests of naviga-
tion Although in the intervening two
and a half centuries astronomers have
worked at lne problem, the moon has
not yet become entirely amenable
TO their ua+ics. The astronO-

port of the work at Greenwich during

creasing deviation between the cal
culated position of the moon in the
sky ard its real position as shown by
the Greenwich observations. The de-
Walton has lately been growing in
serious manner. The error last year
was more than twelve times as large
as the error twenty years age, and the
average annual increase during the
two decades has amounte" ,1 uaif

son that astronomers have failed in
getting exact results from calculations
based on dynamical laws of gravita-
tion is possibly the existence of some
attractive force that they have not

may also be affected by the true shape

Eumed Oak.

A good method of producing the Pc
culiar dark brown of old oak is by
fumigation with liquid ammonia. The
wood should be placed in a dark and
air.tight room, and half a pint or so of
ammonia poured into an open dish
placed upon the ground. The gas that
comes from the ammonia acts in a
wonderful manner upon the fannie
acid in the wood, and browns it so
deeply that a shaving or two may be
taken off without removing the color.
The depth of shade will depend upon
the quantity of ammonia used and the
time allowed for the operation Other
methods may be used to obtain a sim
liar result. Liquid ammonia may be
laid on the wood with a brush or rag
and the color will deepen Immediately.
Potash bichromate, dissolved in cold
water, will produce a similar effect

HOW TO GROW PRIMROSES
BY BESSIE |. PUTNAM.

The best way to propagate prim-
roses is from seeds, which should be
sown in May or June, or as soon as
the soil becomes thoroughly warm.
The seeds are quite small, but are
easily started by sowing in a box or
bed. The soil must be sifted fine
and of a moldy consistency which will
not bake or become hard. Press the
surface of the soil smooth and level
SOW the seed evenly and thinly, and
cover lightly. II is mistake to SOW
deeply.
The ground must be kept moist and
covered, that is. protected from the
rain, wind and hot sun, until the
plants appear. It requires from three
weeks TO a month to bring plants 10
the surface, then they must be care
fully busted with little tobacco and
sulphur mixed, tc keep down the
fungus and insects.
The primrose requires moist, but
not wet soil and if the soil is al
lowed to dry out before the plants ap'
pear. propagation will be greatly re.
tarded or entirely stopped.
Used in borders or in pots, the 1T.
tie primrose is always a beautiful
cheerful plant.

you will have an ideal form of de-

for potted plants. There are three
kinds of potting soil, as follows:

For palms or roses-Two parts clay

Use the finger test to learn if the
plants need water; when it cakes
readily there is too much water; so
do not give the plants a little each
day but only water when needed
Never use a nozzle on the end of a
hose in watering, as it causes the
stream to pack the soil and injure the
foliage.
To prevent your window plants from
blooming only on the street side turn
them occasionally, and you will have
the blooms in the room as well. Do
not give foliage plants as much light
as for towering plants; keep the

After it has been fermented thor
