Telephone Connection With the Snn. J One of the most curious arrangements i contrived by this most curious man for ! Ms personal amusement and gratification 1 is the arraugement which Mr. Edison j calls his "cosmical telephone." E'.lison j owns an iron mine at Ogden, N. J. There j is a bed of magnetic iron ore about a . mile long and 450 feet wide which he ' says runs down iuto the earth for five or " six miles. He estimates the amount of iron in the mines at 2,000,000,000,000 1 tons. Around Ogden there is an enor- r raous intensification of the magnetic ( ? forces of the earth. It is a well-known j f fact that the daily variations in these j! magnetic forces, as shown by the needle, j are directly influenced by the disturb- j e ances in the sun's spots. These varia- | f tions ftrp romilarlv rttrorded everv dav at j Kew, Dear London. 3Ir. Edison says j that at his iron mine near Ogden he has more than a million times the concentra- j tion of magnetic lines that there is at t Kew. To record the daily variation in t his own magnetic lines at Ogden, Mr. j S Edison has constructed his cosmical tele- 6 phone. s "There are the most wonderful things s going on in the sun's spots all the time," o he says. "Didn't you ever see them? i: Why, they arc beautiful. The dis- s turbances are tremendous. Bursts of k hydrogen fly out of these spots 600,000 a miles long. Awful things happen up a there. You can see them every day with b my telescope." T To construct a telephone he has sur- c rounded the whole bed of magnetic iron b with poles. On these poles he has strung r a cable of fifteen coppsr wires. The ends F of this cable run down into a little house a and are connected with the ordinary re- 0 ceiver of a common Bell telephone. The * idea is that the surrounding of this cnor- ? mous bell of magnetic iron with the copper wires will operate for the formation of a gigantic magnet such as is used in the receiver of the every day telephone, p Through this tremendous receiver, Edi- I" eon says he will be put in direct tele- s; phonic communication with the sun. ii Only the communication will be one- ti sided. He can hear everything that g6es a on up there, but he can't do any transmitting. He believes that every dis- tl turbance in the sun's spot will cause a v corresponding variation of his concen- tl trated magnetic lines a? Ogden, and that ii this variation will be at once detected in a some way by the receiver of his cosmical ij A~1 1 c leiepuuuc. ? i4Yes, sir," he says, "I can hear them a with this telephone. The next time there c is any violent changes in the sun's spots v which disturbs the magnetic lines on fc earth I shall know it, and if 60U,0UU e miles of hydrogen go chasing away from ii the sun I shall hear it." il The cosmical telephone is not yet com- 1; pleted as the wire stringing is not tin- ii ished; but scientific people othci than ^ Mr. Edison will watch with curious wonders to see what success he will achieve.?New York Sun. c Lost Children. li A pathetic story comes from Omaha f of two little children lost in the sand I bills near Thedford, Neb. The two little girls, aged eight and six, went on a c visit to their sister, who lives some six c miles from town. They started for J home about i o'clock one Sunday, and, ? not arriviug by dark, their father be- T came alarmed and called out his neighbors to search fcr them.

None of these methods were ltogether cffective.although the carbolic cid treatment and the smoking with, toacco made the corn so distasteful that ( hen it was in the vicinity of other rain it would be left until the last.

Chicago Xcics. CLEAN" OUT THE BLACK KNOT. There is no good reason for keeping a luin or cherry tree full of black knots. !ach one is a place where countless j pores are produced, and these, spreadis to other trees, will cause new knots I 3 grow. Some have recommended the j pplicntion of kerosene to the kuot, as it rill kill it, but injury may be done to tie healthy parts of the tree. A better , ray is to cut the knots away and burn ! hem. If the knife docs not pass several aches below the knot, it may develop new upon the tip of the stub. Badly afested trees should be cut down bodily ud all the knots burned. These knots j re found upon some kinds of wild herry and plum trees, and these, i rhether in the laue, roadside, or forest, hould be stripped of their knots. If I very on3 who owns ljind would see to j t that all the black knots were removed j t would not be loug before we, especial- | y in the Eastern State?, could grow protable crops of plums and cherrics.?

Following may be seen the amount of nunurial elements withdrawn from the oil by certain fruit crops each year; hese being, according to all experience, he only ones of which the replacement leed be ordinarily considered in fertilizaion. These amounts are expressed with cfereuce to 1000 uounds of fruit, from f ' ~ "" ' vhat, according to our best information, nay be assumed to be a "fair crop" per icre. The figures represent pounds aud Tactions of a pound: Grapes?potash, 5.0; phosphoric acid, 1.52; nitrogen, 1.70. Pears?potash, 1.8; phosphoric acid, ! ).5; nitrogen, 0.0. Apples?potash,0.80; phosphoric acid, ! ).3; nitrogen, 0.6. Peaches?potash, 1.78; phosphoric icid, 0.47; nitrogen, 4.7. Plums?potash,1.72; phosphoric acid, >.44; nitrogen, 4.2. It will be seen that for equal weights >f these fruits, grapes take from the soil >y far the largest amount of mineral mater, of which uearly five-ninths is potash; hey also carry off the largest amouut of >hosphoric acid. For seedless grapes the atteritem would, however, be consider ibly smaller. Pears come next as regards otal mineral matter, but draw quite iglitly on nitrogeu. Peaches come next o pears. Plums (including prunes) arc :oti?picuou8 chiefly for their heavy Iraught on the nitrogen of the soil. The difference between apples and >ears in respect to soil -exhaustion for an :qual weight of fruit is quite striking, ;he amount of potash in apples being less ban half, the phosphoric acid oniv a .rifle over half as much as in the pear.?

Men not -oooversant vith the tetidcncifs in the direction rcerred tc often express surprise that the alves of cows of the large, beef-making ?reeds are so moderate in size at birth. Jut in this the law under which a tree ;rows as great from a smalf seed as from large, can be taken as a rule. The litle difference in the weight at birth beween the one sort and the other is com>aratively trifling. The size of the large cow ami the capa- j ciousness of he? iibdomen and pelvis do | not necessarily go hand in hand, but on | the contrary her size is dependent upon j thickness of flesh. She is not, like the 1 scrub, a mere shell, but on the other : thand may have a smaller womb space fi than the scrub. : a From a breed that grow uniformly a large there need be no anxiety as to get- : a: ting progeny having fair teudency to size, i t] We have more reason to be solicitous as t< to the tendency to grow fine. That is to aj say, we seek progeny that will grow syin- j d metrical.

They may then be put in flocks of twenty ir or twenty-five, in a grassy pen from 1< twelve to fifteen feet square and about p two feet high. a The pen should be movable, and be h frequently changed, as it will soon be- f< come filthy, and should be provided with a tight shed or box for a roosting place. 01 If a piece of closely-sheared sheepskin or b heavy sackiug lined with flannel or cot- tl ton flannel be tacked to the top of a two ti or three inch high, three-sided frame, so c< it will sag a little, and thus make a warm h place for the ducklings to hover under and roost under at night, be placed in rr the shed or box, they will do just as well d without a hen as with one; for all the n use they have for her is to hover them a at night. For the first two or three days they should be fed stale wheat bread moistened with milk; after this should come curds, table scraps, cooked vegeta- n bles, corn meal dough, chopped lettuce, R beet leaves, onion tops, etc., etc. Either ^ sweet or sour milk is good for them, and " some gravel must be supplied. 0 They must never 'be allowed to be without a supply of drinking water, as " their thirst is insatiate. They never ri seem to sleep, and will go to the drink- e ing vessel many times in the night. After they arc three or four weeks old 6 all vegetable refuse from the kitchen may a be given them. A duck is no epicure, 81 and will greedily devour anything that 3 come9 within reach. They would as ^ soon nip off your handsomest flowers or choicest vegetables as not, but, as they v arc easily confined, a two-foot fence a keeping even a grown Pekin or Rouen ^ duck within bounds, this is no serious c disadvantage. ^ Until ducks are feathered out they are f very susceptible to dampness, and for ^ this reason must be kept out of the dew ? and rain, and should not be allowed access to a stream of water for a swim. The only cause ot mortality among duck- 1 liugs?if plenty of drinking water is ' supplied?is cramps, resulting from ? dampness, so if this be guarded against one may reasonably expect to raise every v duckling that is hatchod. P With the exception of aa occassional afternoon run in the orchard?where are always kept our ducklings?we did not allow our ducks out of the pen till they t] were feathered. After that they were ^ allowed the range of the farm, and were not fed, except a light feed of grain at t night as an inducement to always return, c Ducks arc susceptible to heat, and a should always be supplied with shade that they may run at pleasure. 0 After the feathers once mature they v can bo picked every six weeks from n Maich till Deeember. d Feathers from the Pekin duolc will E command nearly as good a price as geese tt feathers.?Farm, Field and Stockman. p v FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. r Strive to have the best; there is the j 0 most profit in it.

Eight Presidents of the United States, in their early political carecrs, resigned Beats in the Senate for different causes. I John Quincy Adams went out in 1808 * -1 i-i.- T oecause me iuassacuusens i/c^uimuib had insulted him. In 1798 Andrew Jackson resigned his seat in the Senate to become Justice of the Supreme Court of Tennessee. Later he was elected to the Senate again and he retained his seat until 1825,when he left it to take the Presidential office. He was the only one of the Presidents who passed directly from the Senate to the Presidency. Pierce, when he resigned his seat in the Senate in 1842, believed that he was retiring to private life. But he was drawn into the Mexican war, and the result of his popularity achieved in the field was his choice as President ten years after his supposed retirement. Martin Van Bureu and William Henry Harrison resigned their seats in the Senate in the same year? 1829?the one to become Governor of New York and the other to accept the position of Minister to Colombia. James Munroe left the Senate in 1794 to be Minister to .r ranee. janies ducuuuuu left the Senate in 1845 to be Secretary of State under Polk. John Tyler left in 1836 because he could not obey the instructions of the Legislature of Virginia. He and his colleague, Leigh, were instructed to vote for Benton's resolution expunging the vote of censure on President Jackson. Both of them refused to vote for the resolution, aud Tyler resigned. He was not the only member of the Senate to resign because ol a difference of opinion with the Legislature of a State. Mr. Tyler's colleague resigned shortly after him, and for the same reason. In North Carolina no less than four Senators resigned because they differed from the Legislature on important matters.?St. Louis Republic. Crime Made to Order. Allen "Wilson says in the St. Louis Olobe-Democrat: "While I was a student at Yale an incident occurred that furnished amusement to the police for weeks. Some of us were at the station house one winter's evening for the purnose of bailing out two of our comrades i w who had been arrested for skylarking. While we were waiting, a great hulking tramp walked in and asked the lieutenant in charge, a rather dudish fellow, to give him a night's lodging. Not satisfied with the refusal he received, he still persisted. The lieutenant soon lost patience and said: 'No one can sleep here unless he has committed some crime.' 'Is that so?' said the tramp; 'that's pretty hard, but I suppose I can help it; how will this answer?' As he spoke he shot out his fist and knocked the lieutenant from his stool into the spittoons near the stove. 'I hope I didn't hurt you more than was necessary,' he said, as liis victim slowly picked himself up, his nose streamiug blood; 'give me as good a cell as you have, for I'm tired and want to go to sleep.' The unfortunate lieutenant did not hear the end of it for months." ON?
