FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
? ? ? ? i
. .Mr. Atkinson, of Boston, recently tent
5 cask of maize fodder and a cask of rye
to ProfeMor Yoolcker, the well-known
agricultural chemist of Englaud, with
the view of showing the sort of ensilage
prepared in America. Having analyzed
the samples the professor reported tho
maize fodder to be perfectly sound and
, the rye very slightly moldy ; but both
? were wholesome food for cattle. A little
cottonseed meal having been added to
the fodder it was given to cows on an
experimental farm. They took to tho
ensilage at once and evidently en loyed it.
With careful management Mr. Atkinson
calculates that four cows ?cau 'be main*
tainfed in good condition to one aero of '
ensilage. ? Hcicnttfc American.
Olllsg Wagon Wheel* find Woolwork*
Mr. Allen fc. Smith reports to the
Farmer? Hetievo an experience in oiling
wagon wheels and other woodwork: "I
hlkve a wagon of which, six years ago,
the felloes shrunk so that the tires be
came loose. I gave it a good coat of hot
? oil, and every year siuco it hus had a coat
of oil or paint, sometimes both. The
'tires aro tight yet and they havo not been
sot for eight or nine years. Many farm
ers think that as soon as a wagon felloes
begin to shrink they must go ut once to a
blacksmith shop and get the tiro set. In
stead of doing that which is often a
damage to the wheels, causing them to
dish, if thoy will get some linseed oil
and heat it boiling hot and give the fel
loes all tho oil they can take, it will fill
' them up to their usual size and tighten
to keep them from shrinking, and also
to keep out tho water. If you do not
wish to go to tho troublo of mixing paint
you canncat tho oil and tic a rag to a
stick and swab them over as long as they
will take oil. A brush is more conven
ient to use, but a swab will answer if
you do not wish to buy a brush. It is
> quito a saving of timo and money to
look after tho woodwork of farm ma
chinery. . Alternate wettiug and drying
injures and causes tho !>est wood soon to
decay and lose its strength unless kept
well paiuted. It nays to keep a little oil
on hand to oil forlchandles, rakes, neck
yokes, whifllotrccs and any of the small
tools On the farm that are moro or less
exposed." .

Characteristics of ft Cyclone.
?AH storms of any magnitude that visit
tho United States, oxcopt tho tropical
hurricanes which somotimos touch tho
southern coasts, havo a common origin in
Or near tho Rocky mountains. Horo tho
first baromotric dopression is felt, pre
ceded by a rising temperature, caused by
tho warm winds moving northward over
tho sun-heated sands of Arizona, Now
Moxico and% Wcstorn Texas. Those
warm, rareflod currents of air aro mot by
cooler currents passing over tho Bnow
clod peaks of tho North; a cyclonic
Btorm is formed, 'usually fttnftll at first,
which begins its journoy eastward,
gradually developing in onorgy and area
as It goes. After leavjng tho mountain
ranges thero is but little precipitation
for tho first few hundred miles; as it ad
vances, it usually widens from north to
south, but tho lino of travel of tho storm
centor can l>e Readily predicted by tho
sign id service observers, and its location
at any timo fixed by the lowest reported
reading of tho barometer.
During the journey of tho storm east
ward or southeastward, tho wind in
adVatico of it will be easterly, blowing off
an area of high barometer Into tho low ;
and tho barometer will continue to fall.
Toward the north of tho storm, tho wind
will bo north ; and to tho south of it
tho wind will blow from tho south,
frequently causing what aro known on
the Wcstorn plains as "sand-storms;"
while, if the storm occurs during the
winter season, tho wind and snow In the
northorn portion ia called a u bllMard."
In the fear of tho storm the wind will bo
westerly, shifting to northweGt, fre
quently blowing A galo ; thef barometer
will rtae and the tomporaturo will fall,
ftomotlmes rapidly, and clearing weathor
will follow.
Thus it will bo observed that the true
axis is tho 41 storm-center," and that tho
storm revolves on this axis as it moves
forward in an easterly, northeasterly or
southeasterly direction. This is the tnio
cyclone. It may be only a few hundred
miles in diameter, or Its influence may be
felt from Rritlsh America to the Gulf of

A repreeentatire of a New York house
which aenls cxtemirely in peanuts gives
the following information about thh?
toothsome dainty: , ? ?
The nut comes from three sections in
the South. One is in Virginia, one in
Tennessee, end tho third in North Caro
lina. The nuts are grown more or less
?U over the, South, but not in quantities
of commercial importance. Kansaa
raises some very good ones, which are
disposed of in Kansas City market. Some
are grow a in Mississippi, which go to
N6w Orleans. They are dirty, rough
looking and almost unsalable up here.
Tho Virginia grown arv tho most valuablo
now. Formerly < hose ^hich came from
Wilmington wcro so, but tho method of
handling has Vktcriorated. This high
rank thoy owed to a man named Nixon,
who took great pains in pickiug, grud
ing and packing. Ho prepared four
brands. , Tho sumo process is now
adopted in Virginia with gratifying re
sults. By tho best handlers (lark or dis
colored nuts are thrown out ; they nro
nearly uniform in size, and caro is taken
to prevent dirt from getting in. The
districts which produce them in that
Btato is Norfolk and east of Petersburg,
and is chiefly comprised in tho coun
ties of Prince George, Sur
roy, Isle of W ight and South
ampton. Tho production depends
upon the soil, and tnc limits of growth
in these and adjoining counties can be
traced with definiteness on a geological
map. When a certain soil ceases the
growth of the peanut Btops. Until. 1870
there was a very small quantity of this
nut in the mnrket, nor did it? sales be
gin to increase much until 1874. Ten
nessee has a region of about half way be
tween the nortn and south lines of the
State, lying on tho Tennessee river,
where a great deal is grown. It includes
much of Perrv, Humphreys and Ilick
Tnan coffiftie8,"W8ilftr8t>irny in-other coun
ties. They are nearly all shipped from
four landings on the river ? Dennison,
Dritt's, Mouse Tail and Cuba. I have
seen brought down to one of these land
ings in one night 8,000 bags, each hold
ing flvo bushels. The crop is chiefly
grown there in tho valleys of tho small
creeks which run into tho Tennessee.
Every season they aro inundated by the
backwater, which deposits its solid par
ticles on the soil, thus acting as manure,
and on these bottom lands tho plant is
grown. It requires a soft soil and a good
egreo of moisture, but not too much,
othcrwiso the nuts becomc pulTy. These
farms are perhaps 1(50 yards wide by
three-quarters of a mile long. The floods
como with much regularity. In Noitli
Carolina the crop is grown in the neigh
borhood of Wilmington, lyim* along the
sounds or inlets there, in New Hanover,
Pender and Brunswick counties.
The crop ii very impoverishing to the
soil. Tl^e system of husbandry down
there requires improvement. In Ten
nessee tho plants aro placed so that they
can bo artificially cultivated, but this is
not the case in Virginia and North Caro
lina. Hoeing is dono by hand and nt n
great expense. Tho crops are large t\nd
Cnng the fanner more than ho can get
trom anything else. They raise in Ten
nessee f"om twenty-five to 135 bushels an
sere, and seventy-five is a frequent crop.
In Virginia many produce 100 bushels.
At from Bcventy-fivc cents to $1.25 -per
bushel you will aeo that this is a very
pre* 'able crop. It is three times the
q.iautitv you can obtain of wheat, and at
tMrn thing near the samo price. Ono cx"
penso of t.ic farmer in Virginia is hand
pi king. This costs him ten cents a
bushel, end is necessary in order to get
tho best price, but it is likely to be su
perseded by other processes. Ho puts
tho nuts up in four-ovuhcl bags instead
of using fivc-bu?hel oats, liko the Ten
nessee planter. Tin: crop is first touched
the COtli of September, and down to that
time ncarlv the product can be injured
by frost. They are plowed iip and eliil
drcu afterward stack them. They stand
five or six weeks, when they arc picked.
Some come into the market about the
middle of October or tho 1st of Novj^
ber. When first picked they arc very
oily, but gradually dry up, and tho pro
cess of desiccation keeps on as long as
the nuts last. In the South they are gen
erally eaten raw, but ia the North they
aro commonly roasted. Tho former
w..y ls certainly the most wholesome.
No injury will result to the stomach after
eating a large quantity of the unroastcd,
whilo taoso win Ji have been submitted
to tho fi'^o are indigestible. Their uso is
rapidly extending. A few years ago
tl ere was but little of this commodity
eaten except in tho cities, but now it is
devoured evc?y whore. Circuses need a
great many, and confectioners mako much
peanut candy. The small towns and
cities of tho South aro beginning to con
sumo then.. They aro known as ground
. uts and ground peas in North Carolina;
in Georgia and Alabama thoy aro called
pin iors, and in Tennessee goobers. Tho
plant waa importod originally from
A trlcn, and Tonnesseo obtained them from
emigrants from tho Old North State.
No other products aro made from the
plant oxcopt oil, and oven that lias not
been oxtractcd for tho Inst four or flvo
years. Cottonseed oil has entirely driven
It out: it was used nB a substitute for
olivo oil, to which it did not bear much
resomblance. During tho lato war it was
In goly used as a lubricant by tho Con
federate States. Their supply of othor
oils was cut off, and they wore forced to
tako peanut oil, which was manufactured
by one porson in North Carolina. There
aro flvo kinds of peanuts known U> tl?o
?trade*? tho Virginia, whito Tennossoe,
North Carolina, red Tennessee and Span
ish. Tho latter is grown in Virginia,
and lias nothing Spanish about it but its
name. Its fruit is small, regular and
pretty. Tho whito Tennesseo nnd tho
Virginia aro almost exactly the same.
These aro further varied in prico by tho
fact whothor they are hand-picked or
not. The difference between. Virginia
and Tennosseo peanuts is that the latter
are worth a cent to a cent and a half loss
per pound than "the former.- Twenty
two pounds mako a bushel. Peddlers
find that they can get more quarts to tho
bushel from Virginia goods than from
North Carolina. There is a peculiarity
of tho peanut shell which is worthy of
Tcmark. There is so much woody matter
to it, of so permanent a naturo, ^that it is
almost impossible to incorporate it in the
soil within a few years, and it is conse
quently valueless as manure. It is used
for a mechanical separator of tho earth
with good success.
Hard Work to Get Hpllced.
It is Mid that a younger (ton of the
Duke of Argyll wished to marry an un
titled lady, and asked his father's con
front. Tho duke replied that personally
ho had no objection to tho match, but.
In viow of the fact that his eldest son ha?
espoused n daughter of tho queen, he
thought it right to take her majesty's
pleasure oA the subject before expressing
nls formal approval; Her majesty, thus
appealed to, observed that siuco tho
death of tho prince consort sho had been
in the habit of consulting the Duke of
Saxc-Coburg on all family affairs. The
matter w?u, therefore^ roiorrcd to Duke
Brnest, who replied tliat since the unifi
cation of Germany ho had made it a rule
to aek for tho emperor's opinion on nl}
impo rtant questions. Tho ease now came
before the kaiser, who decided that, as h
constitutional sovereign, ho ws" bound

Wilms of Celebrate* Ka
gome ?mii^ng features from the livea
of celebrated men have been brought to
gether by a German write*. Auber wrote
on horseback ; it wu not possible for him
to write in any other place than in Paris,
however beautiful another residence
might be, and however many attractions
it might offer. Adam composed best
when ne lay, with his clothes on,- in bed,
and showed aa great antipathy to all
landscape beauty as love to his cata.
The same antipathy to all natural beauty
is charged to Doniretti, who always slept
when upon a journey, when he should
have given his attention to the romantio
scenery of Switzerland and Italy. Cima
roea could not write without having a lot
of friends around him, with whom ho
kept up an active conversation about art
matters. Sacchini's train of thought was
interrupted when his cats did not play
their antics upon his writing-desk. Sartl
could only become inspired in a room
without furniture, and which was dimly
lighted. Spoutini could only compose
in the dark, and Meyerbeer composod
best during violent thunderstorms, under
tho roof o? his house. Balieri tamed his
inspiration while ho walked ouickly I
through the streets filled with a human
throng, meantime eating a great quantity
of confections. Haydn, iu order to com
pose, sat in a soft arm-chair, with
ins gaze directed to heaven. Gluck
composed in tho open air best, in tho
glaring sunshine, lie liked champagne
by his work, ftnd gesticulated very vio
lently, as if ho wero an actor on the
boards. Handel wandered in the church
yard, and when he wished to become in
spired he sat himself down in one corner
of it which was shaded by weeping wil
lows. Mozart gained his inspiration
from reading Homer, Dante and Pe
trarch; Verdi must read passages* from
Shakespeare, Goethe, Schiller, Ossiau
and Victor Hugo. Schiller inspired his
muse by the smell of rotten apples, which
he kept constantly in his desk ; beside^
this, ho liked to live amid surroundiugs
corres]>onding to tho subject on which lie.
worked. When. he wrote tho last act to
" Mary Stuart," lie had his servants
clothed in black ; and so long as he
worked on "W alien stein " he neglected no
rovicw or other military spectacle, and
at homo his wife must sing battle pieces
to him.
Goethe loved to have plastic works of
art before him as ho wrote. Jean Paul
replenished his ideas while taking a walk,
and drank ft glass of beer now and then
on the way. In writing he liked the
strong smell of flowers. Herr von Kleist
worked with groat difficulty, and when
ho made poetry it was as if he had a
conflict with an invisible fiend.
Just the opposite was-tlic case with father
Wieland. fn making his poems he trilled
a lively song, and sometimes would spring
away from his work, and cut a caper in
'the Kir. Burger, the immortal noet of
Lconore, is said to have whistled street
songs as ho wrote his verses on paper.
His conversation in bucIi moments is said
to have been obscene. Iloldcrlin was
ofton found crying when he composed
poems. Similar things are said of tho
French romance writer, Lafontftino. llis
wiTo oncc fouivl t iin before his writing
desk swimming in tears. " Oh, it is too
sad," he sighed. "It don't goat all,"
ho sobbed ; "1 am still in the first
volume." Mntthison wrote his poems by
moonlight, while standing at the window.
Lamartino wrote his best things in the
morning, before breakfast, while sitting
bofoie the (ire. A contemporary of
Dumas wrote thus: " Tho writing-desk
of Alexander Dumas presents a picture
of classical disorder. The study floor is
covered with books and papers, behind
which he is seated, formally barricaded.
Also a quantity of dogs, cats, poultry,
pigeons and singing birds are to be seen
around, and these 110 feeds, strokes^ and
keeps out of mischief while he is writing.
In tho background stand ft number of
printer's devils waiting for copy, and
booksellers and such people, who have
business with him. lie writes very
rapidly, and carries on, very often, a
oonversation at the same time. He is
vcrv negligent in his dress." ? Phrenologi

Great Jlclls of tlio World.
Tho !#? ?est bell in tho world is in
Kyoto, n, nnd said to bo perfect in
tono. B., measurement it cxceeds tho
great bells of Pokin and Moscow. No
body knows when or by whom it was
cast, and, thongh its Biirface is covered
with characters, no scholar has yet boon
ablo to translato them. Tho bell is
twenty-four feet high and "sixteen inches
thick at tho rim. It is sounded by a
suspended piece of wood, like a battering
ram, which strikes it on tho outside, and
its booming can be heard for miles. Tho
bells of Russia are among tho most
famous in the world. In Moscow alone,
before the great fire, there wero no loss
than 1,700 largo bells; in a single tower
there were thirty-seven. Ono called
" Molshoi " (the great), cast in tho six
teenth century, broken by falling from
its support. and recast in 1054, was so
largo that it required twenty-four men
to ring it, and this was done by simplv
pulling tho clappcr. Its weight was esti
mated at 288,000 pounds. It waa sus
pended from an immense l>eam at tho
foot of tho boll tower, but it again foil
during aflro on June 19, 1700, and wad
this timo brokon into fraginonts. These
woro used, With, additional materials, in
1788, in casting tho Tsar Kolokol (king
of tolls), still to bo seen at Moscow.
Borne falling timbors, during a flro in
1787, broko a piece from its side, . .which
has never been replaced. This bell is

Whether this bell wftS ever hung or not,
authorities appear to differ.
Tho numberless bells of Moscow con
tinue to ring during tho whole of Easter
week, tinkling and tolling without har
mony or ordor. ' Tho largo bell near the
cathedral is only used upon important
occasions, and yields the finest ana most
solemn tone imaginable. When it sounds
a deep, hollow murmur vibrates all over
Moscow, liko tho fullost tones of a vast
organ or tho rolling of distant thundor.
This bell is suspended in a tower,
called tho belfry of fit. Ivan,
beneath others, which, though of less
sifco, aro enormous. It is forty feet
nino inches iu circumference, sixteen and
a half inches thick, and woighs moro
than flfty-aoveh tons. The Groat Bell of
Moscow was in a deep pit in tho midst of
tho Kremlin for yoars. This bell is truly
a mountain of metal; it is supposed to
contain a largo proportion of gold and
silver ? whilo it was in fusion tho nobles
and pcoplo cast in as a votivo offering
their plato and money. Tho bolls of
China rank noxt in size to those of Hussia.
In Pekin there aro seven bolls, ? each
weighing 120,000 pounds. In a suburb
of the city fs one of the largest suspendod
bells in tho world. It is hung near the
ground, and to sound it a largo l>oam is
swung against its side. Nankin was an

number of Its l?ells. A bell taken .from
tho Dagon pngeda atltangoon was valued

Tha electric apparatus of the torpedo is
its defense, and certiinly a good one.
The electric organs may be compared, to
some extent, to tlje voltaic pile, and con
art of two aeries of layers of hexagonal
cells, the intervening spaces between the
plates beinsf filled vwlth a trembling,
3elly-Hko substance, so that each cell can
Kbe oooapared to a Leyden jar. Each tor
do carries about 480 of these batteries,
o whole being equal in power to about
llfteen Leyden jaw, making 8,500 squaro
.Inches charged to the highest degree.
The upper side of the fish is positive and
the lower negative, the shocks seemingly
being entirely at the will of the strange
electrician. *
A naturalist recently made some inter
esting experiments, one of which was tho
application of tho telephono to a tori>cdo
to see if tho shock gave an audible sound
Hueh proved to bo tho case? a short, low
croak accompanying moderate cxcito
ment, tho discharge lasting about one
fifteenth of a second. When the fish 'vas
greatly excited tho croak became a groan
sounding, it was said, like the tonality of
mi and occupying four or five seconds.
hen the attention of scientific men was
first called to tho torpedo, I)r. Walsh,
*. K. 8., amused himself and scientific
London with ono of these fishes, after a
series of experiments at tho Isle of
Ke. Tho performances took the
form of piscatorial seances. and
it became the rage to take
a fish shock. Wondrous medicinal virtue
was ascribed to it, and tho demand for
torpedoes brought a rich harvest to the
fisherman. Their use in medicine, how
ever, was not new, as DiscoridcB, tho
physician of Antony and Cleopatra, is
said to have used it. Dr. Walsh's method
was to place a living torpedo upon a wet
towel; from a plate he suspended two
pieces of brass wiro by means of silken
cord which served to insulate them.
Hound tho torpedo were eight persons
standing on insulating substances. One
tiln ? * ,niH.8 wire wn? support ed'bv
tho wet towc , the other end being placed
n basin full of water. The first per
son had a finger of one hand in this
basin, and a finger of the other hand in a
second basin, also full of water. The
second person placed a finger of one hand
in this second basin, and a finger of the
other hand in a third basin. The
third person did the same, and
naf0i?r'i r/1 ft complete chain was
established between tho eight persona
and nino basins Into the ninth basin tho
^10 8ccond brass wire was plunged
while Dr. Walsh applied the other end
to the back of the torpedo, thus estab
lishing a complete conducting circle. At
he moment when the experimenter
touched tho torpedo the eight actors in
the experiment felt a sudden shock, siini
i!lr*\n ! re^Pet?t *? *'lot communicated
by the shock of a Leyden jar, only less
intense The torpedo was then placed on
an insulated bu; porter and communicated
fV::?xrr\on\ 8i.mi,ari>' i???c?i from
?*/ ^ocks in a minute and a
naif. Each effort made by the animal
was accompanied by a depression of the
fhS! t 8light,y projecting in
their natural state, and seemed to bo
drawn within their orbits, while the
other parts of tho body remained itnmov
H only ono of the two organs
were touched, in nlaco of a strong an I
sudden shock, only a slight sensation was
experienced ? a numbness rather than a
shock. The same result followed with
ovoryexperiment tried. The animal
was tried with a non-conducting rod, and
no shock followed ; glass or a rod cov
ered with wax produced no effect;
touched with a metallic wire, a violent
shock followed.
Dr. Atwood, of Boston, in making ex
periments with a powerful fish, was sev
eral times completely floored, and when
a k tll.?{fincc of twelve feet he struck n
fish with a harpoon tho shock was so

Quite a number of electric fishes are
known of which the South American
gymnotus is undoubtedly the most now
crful. It is said that they are caught by
driving wild mustangs into tho water,
ho fish exhausting their powers upon

then captured by the natives. In all

The Festlvo Crocodile.
With its short legs out of sight in tho
oozo, its murderous snout sunk to tho
upper jaw, ft tangle of river drift caught
upon its shoulders, nnd tho tail perhaps
lying in a pool of water, tho bulky reptile
looks bo harmless that birds sit twitter
ing upon its armor, and hunt among tho
crovices of tho fungoid-grown nnd slimy
scales for insects. Its very sizo disarms
suspicion ; tho outlines bccomo indistinct,
the complete monster indistinguishable.
And a crocodile's paticnco for mischief is
prodigious. Hour after hour, and all day
long, tho abomlnablo fraud lies in its
(ilace without a sign of life. Natives going
o their work in tho morning look down
from tho bank and see tho birds flitting
about tho dark object at tho water line in
pursuit of the swarming mud-flies that
aro attracted., to tho brute by their keen
senso of Bmoli; but, familiar ns they aro

Cooperative Distribution.
A renewed activity in cooperative dis
' tribution marks the current decade.
Store? are reported as starting up in
many sections of the country; four in
New Jersey, four in Pennsylvania, seven
in Michigan, etc. Even distant Montana
is stirring itself. Some of these new
societies start off vigorously. The Dor-'
Chester store (organised 1880) reported
sales for 1881 of f 80, 000. Tho Lansing
(Mich.) store began in a small way with
a paid-up cavftal of only $800, and is
now doing a business of upward of $82,
000 per annum. Troy (N. Y.) has lately
opened a store with a fine spirit of deter
mination on tho part of one or two mem
bers ? young men who havo been several
times disappointed already, but are re
solved to make a success of this venture
by shouldering the chief labor of it. An
other instanco of tho same determined
spirit ? to which co-opcration has always
owed its successes ? is found in Spring
field, Ohio, where, after repeated fail- j
urcs, a now store is about to be started
through the agency of a few sturdy souls, i
As already indicated, the Patrons of II us- j
bandry seem to be reviving, and in the j
now impetus of thiq order co-operation is
sharing.
Tho late secretary of the National
Grange writes, "Hundreds of co-operative J
stores upon tho Rochdale plan are in sue- !
cessful operation all over the country, |
while a number of large wholesale or sup
ply houses are running at various centers."
rhat this is no empty boast is evidenced
by the official reports from one State, and
that a frontier State. The Texas Co-op- j
erativc association, Patrons of Hus
bandry, in its third annual report (July,
1881), gives seventy-five co-operative
granges as connected with it. The general
manager reports (May, 1882) 103 distribu
tive associations. He writes, "Our
f growth has astonished all alike. We
lave not had a single failure where the
true Rochdale principles have been ad
hered to." The secretary writes (April,
1882), "The business is a wonderful suc
cess, thus far."
Two new labor organizations have come
to the front with the present decade,
each of which emphasizes co-opcration.
The Central Labor union, a fedcyative
body of tho trade associations of New
York city, in its first .emi-annual report
(Julv, 1882) presents co-operation as one of
its cliicf aims. The Knights of Labor,
the newest national order, seeks, accord
ing to the fourth plank in its declaration
of principles, "the establishment of co
operative institutions, productive and
distributive." The claim this order
makes as to membership warrants tho
hope that if it seriously essays to embody
this principle something substantial may
result to the cause of co-operation. ? Xortn

Tho Crater of Mount Trtcomn.
Mount Ranicr, otherwise known as Mt.
Tacoma, in Washington Territory, lrns
been asccndcd hut twice ? the first time,
six years ago, by Hazard Stevens and J.
II. Van Trump, and the second time,
only last week, by Messrs. Langmirc,
Van Trump, Bailey and Ewing. They
camped over night in the crater, amid
fleecy clouds of smoke and steam. The
rocks in the crater were so hot that they
could not be touched without burning
their hands. Of all the peaks in the
northwest, Mount Tacoma is considered
the most difficult of ascent. A "Wash
ington Territory correspondent, in a
recent letter to the San Francisco
Chronicle , speaking on this point, says :
Two persons claim to have sealed the
mountain to the very summit. Notwith
standing their assertions, the story is
very generally discredited. It is thought
no human foot has ever pressed those
lofty regions of everlasting arctic rigor.
Tho ascent is considered beyond the
power of human achievement. Indians
who have lived a great many yours near
the peak, and who ought to be personally
conversant with the difficulties and perils
of the ascent, affirm that it is impossible
for any one to reach the top. The
distance is bo long, the obstacles so great,
and the cold is so intense, that no
person, however inured to toil, hardship
and exposure, could accomplish the trip
and return in ono day. ? Virginia City

Novel Remedy for Consumption.
A musician writes to the Chicago
Time#: Women are daily acquiring busi
ness qualifications long considered beyond
their reach, and I do not doubt that their
scope will soon include pl'iying in bands.
A day or two ago I read an account of
some experiments with brass instruments
in Germany. Some doctor there, the
name of whom I forget, said blowing
horns woidd cure consumption if prac
ticed before tho disease had taken firm
hold. They got some ladies to try tho
plan, and nearly half the number recov
ered. I attribute tho good health of my
wifo to the same practice. When I mar
ried her she was very delicate, but now
plxo tips the beam at 187, tho gain being
tho result of her efforts with a cornet.
She has been playing for thirteen years,
but can't make good music, simply be
cauBO Alio lias 110 musical talent. It is
amusing to see a woman learning. How
she draws long breaths and puffs out her
cheeks, and blows and blows as if she
wore a bellows in a blacksmith shop and
tho fate of tho world depended on her
getting tho fire glowing. They'll tako a
cornet, for instance ? an instrument diffi
cult to handle properly ? and exhaust all
their breath at a spurt, then gradually
rise to tho tips of their toes while elevat
ing the cornet above their heads, looking
for all tho world as if they were trying to
forco wind from their shoe-tops.
Coldnel Fosbery cheated *a sensation at
a locturo ho recently gave to an assembly
of officers, small-arm inventors and other
experts, at the Royal United Service in
stitution, by suddenly drawing from its
filftco of hiding under the table a wonder
ul now gun which ho had just brought
from Liege. Ho callod it a "baby elec
tric gun. It looked like a pretty car
bine, but it had no mechanism, and could
not possibly go off until connected up to
the sourco of electric forco. This done,
it could bo fired with amazing rapidity,
104 rounds having a few days before been
fired from it by its inventor, M. Picper,
of Liege, in two minutes. Colonel Fos
bory fired two rounds with inflnitessimal
powder charges. He had prepared him
solf by secreting under his vest a small
circuit of wiro and putting on a bande
role, supporting what looked like a two
ounco vial, but wafl in fact an electric accu
mulator, with sufficient stored up energy
to discharge two thousand round#. The
cartridges were innocent-looking mites,
And contained no detonating substances,
nothing in fact but simple powder and a
wad. The opinion was expressed by
various speakers that the electric gun
must onco more revolutionize the manu
facture of small arms within a brief
period. ? Klcctrieal Journal.
Varieties of Starch.
The starch of every plant differs from
its neighbors both in size and shape,
and this has a considerable influence on
the character of the vegetablo organ in
which it is stored uj> ; tho hardness of
rlco, for instance, lieing due to tho fact
that rice-granules ore extremely minute,
with angular corners which fit closely
and firmly together ; wht-roas potato
starch is largo and round, with consider
able interspaces filled with water, and so
forms a comparatively soft mass. Hut,
notwithstanding their outward point of
difference, in chemical composition the
starches are all identical, consisting of
carbon, hydrogen and oxygen ? exactly
the same ma.tcnals as sugar is composed
of, and better known as the con
element* of coal and water. ?
