is a subject which of late occur
pies considerable attention in France, her
' l>est horses arc rapidly bought up by
o. foreigners, which compels in return a largo
i- importation. It would be well to devote
more attention to the care of horses, above
rs all, to secure proper grooms. The horse,
u | "the most noble conquest of man," according
Jo Button, suffers, as a general rule in
J? this country, from the absence of intelligent
care. The master's eye is said to
j make the horse tlirive, but unless he bo
? seconded by a. groom, his eye, however vigilant,
will be deceived. It is not every
y man who can make a good groom, however
j well disposed and industrious ho may bo;
. the business exacts special qualifications,
r< and in addition on affection for horses.
? The latter is the weak point on the part or |

' j not all the essentials; there is further doi
mauded an attention to the animals' state
n of health, noting when the horse's condi(l
tion requires artificial aids, and regulating
, his food according to his work. Ordinari
_ i ly, haj, straw, and oats, form the regular
e dietary; but as mail occasionally requires
1 tonics and a more generous nourishment,
I
. according to his work, so also does the
s horse. Hunters gene rally receive a weekly
[| warm mush, consisting either of bran, or
i better perhaps, of barley flour, containing,
' according to the temperature of tho ani'
j mal, some crushed beans or linseed. This
3 mush is very grateful after a hard run and 1
{ when the animal is wet, but must not be
k1 eiven till an hour or two after the horse '
; j has entered the stable. Carrots cut and 1
' mixed with the ration of oats morning and '
i
I evening, are refreshing, but to feed horses *
-1 constantly thus with carrots has been found '
' | in France to effect the kidneys and enfec- 1
j ble the animal. Horses employed for '
speed receive their hay only in small por- 1
', tion3 at a time, this prevents a greed for '
. drinking and distention of the stomach. 1
j Not a few practical men trace asthma and '
I wheezing to this eausc. In the matter of
J drinking, well water is the most pernicious
| for horses and the longer the period that 1
; elapses between their drink and work the
j better. Horses with a tendency to gorge
; themselves with hay or straw ought to be
I muzzled. This will check plethora. The
! i flooring on the stable has much to do with
j conditions of health. Asphalt flagging is
. the favorite pavement for stables here,
J which costs two and one-half frances the
1 square yard. Twenty-two horses belong1
ing to an artillery regiment, have ^
been poisoned from eating old musty
| hay. Three of them died, and, on
j dissection, the intestines displayed grave j,
, I inflammatory lessons. Those saved had
received sudorific drinks, diuretics, and
' purgatives, adding a little ether and opium
j in the leverages, to calm the colics. Such
poisoning is not at all rare among domestic
animals, occasioned not only by moldy .
| hay, but also from oats, pulp, Ac., in a ^
similar state.

cided that a man has no right to the fruit I
I growing upon branches of a tree overhang- t
j ing his Lmd where the trunk of the tree {
stands wholly upon the land of hie neigh- c
bor. But the law regards the overhanging i
branches as a nuisance, and they may be
| removed as such; or the owner of the land o
shaded may remove them if he is careful j.
not to commit any wanton or unnecessary j
destruction in bo doing. Where the trunk c
of a tree stands on the line, the owners of 8
the adjoining land have a joint ownership 0
in the tree and fruit, and neither one has ^
the right to remove it without the oonaent j

A good lawn is on?. of the most pleasant if
appendages to a house; but to make it so, s
it requires to be well attended to, both in t

will soon have a lawn like a carpet. Inex- fi
perience and neglect have been the causes

Value of a Potato.?Prof. Tyndall iliua- *
trates the value of a single potato by sup- p
posing that every potato in the world but
one was destroyed; that one would con- ^
tain in itself the possibility of again stock- .
ing the world with an invaluable article of
Tf nno ruifntn would nrfxluce. when I
planted, only a crop of ten potatoes, in ten ^
years, the total product of the produce of
this one potato would be equal to ten ^
thousand millions, which would be sufficient
to stock tho whole world with seed. The ^
j real value of that single potato, then, would .
I be such that it would be better that the
city of London or Xew York should be to- ^
tally destroyed than that tuber should be Q
lost to the world.

1 SCIENTIFIC.
Vsncsab a. Luamous Bino.? Professor
C. S. Lyman published in the American
Journal eight years ago a brief notice of
some observations made on Venus when i
near her inferior conjunction in 1866. The ,
planet was then (for the first time, so far |
as appears) seen as a very delicate lumin- .
ous ring. ,
No opportunity has since occurred of re- |
peating these observations until the day of |
the recent transit. On Tuesday, December |
8, Venus was again in close proximity to j
the sun, and the author had the satisfao- j
tion of watching the delicate, silvery ring ]
enclosing her disk, even when the planet was j
only the sun's semi-diameter from his limb. \
This was at 4 p. M., or less than five hours 1
before the beginning of the transit. The ]
ring was origntost on cne Bicie iowu.ru tuu i
sun?the crescent proper. On the opposito
side the thread of light was duller and of a
slightly yellowish tinge. On the northern
limb of the planet, some 60? or 80? from
the point opposite the sun, the ring for a
small space was fainter, and apparently
narrower, than elsewhere. A similar appearance,
but more marked, was observed
on the same limb, in 18(50.
These observations were made with a five
foot Clark telescope of -l j inches aperture,
by so placing the instrument as to have the
sun cut off by a distant building while the
planet was still visible. The ring was distinctly
seen when the aperture was reduced
to 14 inches. Tho 9 inch equatorial could
nnf. hp iinr>(l. n.q there were no means of ex
eluding the direct sun light.
On the 10th the crescent, extending to
more than three fourths of a circle, was
seen with beautiful distinctness in the equatorial;
and on this and two subsequent
Jays, measurements were taken with the
iilar micrometer for the purposo of determining
the extent of the cusps, and consojuently
the horizontal refraction of the atmosphere
of the planet, on the assumption
:hat the extension of the crescent and for- '
nation of the ring are due to this refrac- j
;ion. j
Chalk in Artificial Fukl. ? "We have ]
emarked paragraphs in sundry home and 1
oreign scientific journals relative to the j
itilization of chalk, such sis is found in nat- 1
iral beds, as a source of heat. Various de- 3
icriptions of improved fuel have appeared,
n which the above material luis been mixed c
rith bituminous coal and various earthy '
lubstances, and the compound thus produc- s
id is stated to have increased calorific prop- 1
irties. How this result can be directly as- *
;ribed to any active cffect of the chalk, we *
ail clearly to comprehend. a
Clialk is a body already the result of a (
:ombination of carbonic acid and lime. By t
icating at a high temperature, the mate- *
ial may be decomposed; and it absorbs an <
.mount of heat equivalent to that produced \
,t the moment of combination. Carbonic c
tcid and lime result, and these themselves *
ire alao burnt bodies, neither of which can t
ndividually produce heat. If the carbonic I
vcid, after contact with an incandescent i
X>mbu8tible, is transformed into carbonic txide,
it is simply through the absorption d
if exactly the quantity of heat which would I
>e produced by the transformation of car- t
>onic oxide, in turn, iuto carbonic acid. So I
hat, theoretically, and according to all I
)resent chemical ideas, it is impossible to f
onceive that lime, no matter in what form f
t be utilizod, can bo a source of heat.
It remains therefore to account for the
dvantageous results which sire claimed to v
tave been secured by the admixture. In c
[omestic heating, the types of apparatus c
ommonly employed are the grate and the t
toye. A grato fire utilizes about one tenth j
f the heat developed by the combustible, t
hat in, about this fraction goes to warm s
he room, while the remaining nine-tenths (
ies up the chimney. It is radiant heat
hat warms onr apartments. Now if, by
lixing chalk or limestone with the fuel the jj
ombuBtion is retarded, the chalk, by ab- 0
orbing a portion of the heat which oth- ti
rwise would bo lost, serves to increase the J1
adiating surface, it thus probably aug- ^
aents tbe quantity of heat utilized. ?
In stoves an analogous state df affairs ex- "
jt, and it is not impossible to conceive that *
uch, in the instances noted, may be ad vanagcous.
But for the production of steam, ~
rhere in active combustion is required, it is (J
ertain that the addition of such foreign .
latter to the fuel can exercise no useful ef- J
set.

onsists of a three-necked jar, similar to a T]
Voolff bottle. In one of the side orifices is ^
oscrtcd a charcoal plate, and in the other
strip of amalgamated zinc, the last coverd
with cotton. By means of the center
ube pieces of coke and preoxide of man
anese are inserted until the bottle is about!
ivo thirds full. The remaining space re- j T
sives a concentrated solution of sal am-1L

1 an inverted flask, the neck of which is j
ttended down to the level of the liquid,

THIRST AT SKA.
A correspondent calls our attention, says
(he London Daily News, to the fact that
while the survivors of the Cospatrick suffered
agonies of thirst in their boats, the
two men from the La Plato, who were actnlUy
in the water up to their waists for
aearly all the time of their three days exposure
on their damaged raft, felt no thirst
ind no hunger. Only when the sight of
bhe Dutch vessel, their rcscurer, made them
feverish with hope and excitement did
they begin to find their throats grow
parched. Docs not a plunge in tho sea relieve
thirst, our correspondent asks, and
tie gives his own experience as a swimmei
in a sea-port town, when he was young, in
testimony that it does produce that effectThe
water entering Lho pores relieves the
parched up palates, and perhaps, as he
puts it, a filtration takes place in the proless
which gets rid of the presence of the
saline matter. The theory is affirmed with
jreat precision, we romember, by one of
Gteorge Sand's heros, not a high authority
certainly on medical or scientific questions,
out the experiences of a hero of romance, ii
>nly thoy are adopted from anybody's actual
life, are as good so far as those of
PTir>rwv??i"/>? nf Hnrlov. Thft fmeation
might to be easily settled, and tlie only
wonderful thing about it is, that if the beief
of our correspondent and the French
romancist's hero be correct, there should
jver have been any question at all. We
fear that if so ready and simple a remedy
were also sure, it could hardly have failed
ong ago to find universal recognition,
rhe thirst which is caused by mero heat
would be naturally assauged by a plunge
n water fresh or salt; but the thirst that
a bom of exposure, exhaustion, and want
>f food, is perhaps not so easily conquered
>r cured.
MEANS TO GET RICH.
Ten or twelve years ago, says the Virginia
[Nev.) Enterprise, there waa a miner workng
in the upper levels of the Comstock at
|4 per day. He lived in a little cabin down
.he canyon, did his own cooking, and
rhistled softly, "There a Good Time Comng
Boys." To-day that miner walks about
he streets of Virginia City, as cordial as
n the old days; he dresses no better than
my ordinary gentleman of Virginia and
:ata no better food than a conscientious
iditor ought to have. And yet, as his for,une
ia rated in the .stock-list daily, ho is
10 rich that, were his stocks turned into
aoney, he could lend Scott that $70,000,000
le wants and have enough left to lire comortable
upon. He could, unaided, go down
jid open at his own expense, the Darien
?&nal, or, should his fancy run that way,
le could advertise to-morrow that the
torernment, through him, had determined
o resume specie payment, and pretty neary
make the promise good. He could enlow
a college in each Stato of the Uuion
rith $2,000,000 each, or could build a double
rack narrow giiugo railroad from San
Francisco to New York, and solve at once
he nroblem of cheaD transoortation.
3iera is no telliug indeed what be might
lo, but what he will do is apparent enough,
le was her6 when thirty feet of ore near
be surfacc was a big mine. At 1,500 feet
le has found it three or four times as wide,
le believes at 4,000 he will strike it 500
