The influence of atmospheric elec tricity on vines has been tried by Dr. J. Macagno. Grapes were found to be richer in grape sugar and poorer in acid than those produced under natural conditions. It is generally supposed that a thick covering of snow affords the best protection from the severe frosts of winter to the soil beneath. Experiments by Deherain and Kayser prove that grass turf is much more effectual. Dr. Hartig states that a strong man working a hand fire-engine with his utmost stringth for two minutes can do work amounting to 0.403 in the highest and 0.227 of one-horse power in the lowest maximum attainable. Heat exchange between the spheres is active. Every touch of a solar ray on a planet conveys heat energy from the sun to the planet, and thus the in equality of heat between the orbs of *pace is being slowly overcome. There have been found at Vera Cruz, Mexico, and Havana sufficient evidences to warrant scientists in stating that thesq localities are sources of a., poison causing yellow fever. The agent is derived from a species of infusoria. A large specimen of land tortoise found in Mexico carries between the flesh and carapax two large membraneous sacks filled with clear water. This is the secret of his ability to live in such a dry region; he carries his water supply in two tanks. The "Staked Plains" of Texas, A correspondent of tlio Railway Age says: At Big Springs commenced one of the surprising and interesting portions of my journey. From here westward for a hundred miles stretches out the great Llano Estacado, or Staked Plains of our geographies, a supposed desert, treeless &u<l waterless. I would here express the wish that it may take_.it*. place with the "Great American Desert" among the geographical myths. In point of fact it is an elevated rolling table land, rising gradually toward its center, where it attains a height i of 2,500 to 3,000 feet above the sea level. It has rich prairie soil, and is covered with a luxuriant growth of grass. The outlook for water supply is not, at first sight, promising, fhere being throughout all its extent absolutely no running water, and when the railway engineers reached this portion ol tnerr wors tney were prepared 10 encounter the dearth of water as the chief difficulty they had to oontend with. This anticipation was dissipated with the first well they sunk, for an abundanoe of water was struck at a distance of forty feet below the surface. Since then every well sunk has yielded the same result, and the division of the road over the Staked Plains to-day has the best w ater supply on the whole line. It seems that the whole country is honeycombed with subterranean water courses, the wells reaching water, at a depth varying from thirty feet to a little over fifty in one instance. The water is good, soft, clear water, and-the wells all through the severe drought of this fall have given no sign of any failure in supply, do iar as oDservation has extended, 'it has shown that the rainfall on the plains is quite as heavy as, if hot heavier than, in Eastern Texas. Another genuine surprise was in store for us on the " plains." Last June and July, when the road was under construction, men were pitched on the ground close to the right-of-way, and in feeding their stocks portions of corn, oats and bailey had been spilt on the ground. It had taken root in the sod without having been planted, and as we passed by there stood in patches along the pght-of-way fully developed oats and barley and stalks of corn that measured at least four feet in height, with full sized ears upon them. In dnort, it is a country that is capable of becoming the granary of the South we it, and^t its elevation whea culture wjii ih all probability be very successful^ The plains are the range of immense herds of antelope and occasional buffalo, and marvelous stories were told us of their racing the trains, and of shooting them from the cars but we were evidently not there on a good day for them, as we did not catch a glimpse of either, and had to content ourselves with the sight of an occasional coyote and* the ubiquitous prairie-dogs.

A Chinese acrobat and jnggler recently gave a performance at Brighton, England, and in the course of which he fired a small <?nnon which he had bal anced upon a sword held in his mouth. The cannon was directed toward the upper gallery, and when the smoke had /Oonrori awftv it was discovered that the charge had blown the head off a boy sitting among "the gods." Henry 0. Spanlding, who was once amons as the inventor of liquid glue, was arrested at New Albany, Ind., the other day, for drunkenness. He says that he sold the right to manufacture to a concern who made a round SI,000,-) 000, but he got nothing out of it, the buyer putting in a defense to the suit brought by Spaulding that the plaintiff was a minor when the contract was made. Two thousand pounds of opium, valued at about ?20,000, were smuggled from the steamer Tokio to the San Francisco water front directly under the noses of a captain and ten inspeot. ors who had been warned that such an adventure was on foot. Before the opium could be landed, however, it was pounced upon by two officers who had been detailed to patrol the water front, and each of them will get about 87,000 for his night's work?one-third the value of the prize. People interested in such matters are now trying to ascertain what the custom house officers on board the Tokio were doing while nearly a ton of opium was being lowered over the side of the ship. Some idea of the manner in wliich he Chinese residents of San Francisco live may be obtained from a perusal of the proceedings of a recent meeting of its board of health. Dr. Murphy said that during the past year about 30,000 Chinamen had arrived at San Francisco from China, for the purpose of learning trades, and had not, as it was alleged left the city; that notwithstanding the boundaries of Chinatown had not been extended they had all found room in Chinatown. It had been found impossible to enforce the cubic air law, as there are no prison accommodations for the offenders. Owing to the cramped condition of tho living of, the Chinese in Chinatown about six hundred of them died annually of consumption. Chinatown is in a worse condition to-day than ever it was before. He had counted twenty-one men in a room eleven feet square making cigars.

The whole population of tho city is 1,206,299, of whom 727,629 are native born, and 478,670 are foreign born. Of the native born 18,932 are colored. Of the foreign born 198,595 were born in Ireland, 153,482 in Germany, 29,767 in England, 12,223 in Italy, 9,910 in France, 9,020 in Poland, 8,683 in Scotland, 8,093 in Bohemia, 7,024 in British America, 4,743 in Austria, 4,551 in Russia, 4,545 in Switzerland, 4,101 in Hungary, 3,198 in Sweden, 1,860 in Holland, 1,644 in Cuba, 1,096 in Denmark, 929 in "Wales, 893 in Norway, 814 in the West Indies, 774 in China, 669 in Spain, 556 in Belgium, 427 in the South American islands, 175 in Australasia, 132 in Mexico, 119 in .isia outside of China, 106 in Luxemburg, 87 in Africa, 77 in Turkey, 69 in Greece, 66 in Portugal, 62 in Europe (locality not given), 59 in tho Sandwich and Pacific islands, 20 in Japan, 17 in Central America and 7 in Greenland. The Strength of Paiter. One of tho most remarkable things about paper is its strength. Take, lor illustration, a bank note of tke Bank of England. These notes are made by a peculiar process; which is known only to the English mints. The process is such as to make the linen fiber into the paper without destroying My of its strength. You can take a five pound note of the Bank of England and twist it into your fingers into a kind of rope, and you can then suspend 329 pounds upon one end o it, and not injure it in the slightest. There is another odd article?a small kitchen or house truck on wheels, used for wheeling loads around the bouse. The sides and bottom of this are very thin, but made of finely compressed paper, and it is capable of bearing a weight of five tons. There are bathtnbs and pots made in the same manner, by compressing the paper out of linen fibers and annealed?that is, painted over with a composition which becomes part of the paper and i3 fireproof. The tubs will last forever and never leak, or you can put them in tho fire and they will not burn up. It is almost impossible to break them, as you can beat on them with a hammer and not injure them in tho least.

J., writes: "I have a valuable young cow with a hole in the side of one of her teats. How can it be successfully treated ?" Make the edges of the opening "raw" with a sharp knife or cauterize with a pointed stick of nitrate of silver. The hole may then be closed with strips of adhesive plaster or better yet by a coating of "collodion," which can be obtained of any photographer if the nearest druggist does not keep it. In milking be careful not to displace the dressing?and it will be better to draw the milk with a tube for several days. If the opening in the teat is not quite smallj it may be neoessary to close it by a stitch just through the skin with a fine thread.

Oats grown on clay land make the best meal, keep longest, and bring the highest price. A. tablespoonfnl of carbolic acid in two gallons of water is said to prove as destructive to the currant worm and rose bug as hellebore. Carbolic acid is very useful as a pre venfcive of insect ravages. Radishes may be protected from maggots and orchard* from borers by its use. Prafessor Riley says that the heat and drought of the past summer have killed off the Hessian fly, and that immunity from ihs attacks may bo expected for ome years to come. The ert'Jden should be manured and plowed iri winter so as to give time for the fresh manure to be ohanged into-plant food, and to kill the eggs of insects. It is a prime necessity to a good crop of garden vegetables. Never set a hen in a box above the gTound or floor of the chicken-house,if possible to [do otherwise, as the" eggs * dry too fast and lose their vitality. Much better success may be expected if , the nests are made upon the ground. . The staple ration for a cow is fifteen pounds of hs.y and five pounds of meal, * or the equivalent in other food. As grass or green fodder contains seventyfive per cent, more water than hay, four times as much grass or green fodder should be given in place of hay; that is, sixty pounds with the meal. Some cows will probably require more and very few less than this quantity. JL*"" Recipe*.

" y y- 4 EXCITEJttENT IN ROCHESTER. The Commotion Cnuicri by the Statement of u i'hytlclnn. An nnnsual article from the Rochester, N. Y., Democrat and chronicle, was republished in this paper recently, and has been the subject of much conversation both in professional circles and on tho street. Apparently it caused even more commotion in Rochester, as the following from the same paper shows: Dr. J. B. Henion, who is well known not only in Rochester but in nearly every part of ' America, sent an extended article to this papor a few days since which was duly published, detailing his remarkable experience and rescue from what seemed to bo certain death, it would be impossible to enumerate the porsonal inquiries which have been made at our office as to the validity of the article, but they have been so numerous that further investigation of the subject was deemed an editorial necessity. With this end in view a representative of this paper called on Dr. Henion, at his residence on St. Paul street, when the following interview occurred: " That article of yours, Doctor, has created quite a wbirlsrind. Are tho statements about the terrible contrition you were in, and the way you were resoued such as you can sustain ?" "Every one of them and many additional ones. Few people over get so near the grave as 1 did and then return, and I am not surprised that the public think it marvelous. It was marvelous." "How in the world did you, a physician, come to bo brought so low ?" "By neglecting the first and most simple symptoms. I did not think I was sick. It is true I had frequent headaches; felt tired most of the time; could eat nothing one day and was ravenous the next; felt dull indefinite pains and my stomach was out of order, but I did not think it meant anything serious." * "But have theso common ailments anything to do with the fearful Bright's dieoaso which took so firm a hold on you ?" " Anything? Why, they are the sure indications of tho tirst stages of that dreadful malady. The fact is, lew-people know or realise what ails them, and I am sorry to say that too few physicians do either." "That is a strange statement, Doctor." "But it is a truo one. The medical profession havo been treating symptoms instead ol diseases for years, and it is high time it ceased. We doctors have been clipping off the twigi when ire should strike at the root. The symptoms I have just mentioned or any unusual action 05 irritation of tho water channols indicate the approach of Blight's diseaso even more than a cough announces the coming oi consumption. We do not treat the cough, bul try to help the lungs. We should not waste our time trying to rcliove the headache, stomach, pains about the body or other symptoms, but go directly to the kidneys, the source oi most of these ailments." " This, then, ia what you meant when you B&id that more than one-half tho deaths which occur arise from Brlght's disease, is it. Doctor ? "Precisely. Thousands of so-called diseases are torturing people to-day, when in reality it isBright's disease in some one of its many forms, It is a Hydra-headed monster, and the symptom Bhould strike terror to every e?vhrh6 hia them. I can look back and recall hundreds of deaths which physicians at the iimo declared were caused by paralysis, apogexy, heart disease,- pneumonia, malarial ver and other common complaints, which I see now were caused by Bright's disease." "And did all these coses have simple symptoms at first ?" "Every one of them, and might have been Jjttred as I was by the timely use of the same remedy?Warner's Safe Kidnoy and liver Cure. X am getting my eyes thoroughly opened in this matter, and think I am helping others to see the facts and their possible danger also. Why, there are no end or truths bearing on this subject. If you want to know more about it Sand see Mr. Warner himself. He wah sick 3 same as I, and is the healthieeVdhan in Rochester to-day.

At first Mr. Wariwt was inclined to be reticent, bnt learning that the information desired was about the alarming increase of Bright's disease, his manner changed instantly ana he spoke very earneetry: "It is true that Bright's disease has increased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable statistics, that in the past ten years its growth has been 250 per cent. Look at the prominent men It has carried off: Everett, Sumner. Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bishop Haven ana others. This is terrible and shows a greater growth than that of any other known complaint. It must be plain to every one that something must be done to cheok this increase 0Cth9tC.ia.no knowing where it may end." " Do you think many people are afflicted with it to-day who do not realize it, Mr. Warner ?" "Hundreds of thousands. I have a striking example of this truth which has just come to my notice. A prominent professor in a New Orleans medical college was lecturing before his class 09 tho subject of Bright's disease. He had various fluids under microscopic analysis, and was showing the students what the indications of this terrible malady were. In order to draw tho contrast between healthy and unhealthy fluids he had provided a vim, the contents of which were drawn from his own person. 'And now, gentlemen,' he said, 'as we have seen the unhealthy indications, I will show you how it appears in a state of perfect health,' and he submitted his own fluid to the Afl V?n TT*ef/tHa/3 f)lA rAftnlfcfl hifl ixDiiaa ICQ u* ao uu IIMWUVU -UW , ?? countenance suddenly changed?his color and command lx>th left him, and in a trembling voice he said: 'Gentlemen, I have made a painful discovery; I have Bright's disease ot the kidneys,' and in less than a year he was dead." "You believe, then, that it has no symptoms of its own, and is frequently unknown even by the person who is afflicted with it?" "It has no symptoms of its own and very often none at all. Usually no two people have the same symptoms, aDd frequently death is the first symptom. The slightest indications of any kidney difficulty should be enough to strike terror to any one. I know what I am talking about, for I have been through all the stages of kidney disoase." " You know of Dr. Henion's case ?" "Yes, I have both read and heard of it" 'ijt is very wonderful, is it not ?" " A very prominent case, hut no more so than a great many others that have come to my notice as having been cured by the same means." "You bolievo, then, that Bright's disease can bo cured." " I know it can. I know it from tho experimm nf hn ml red a of nrominent tiers ons who were given up to die by both their physicians and friends." "You speak of your own experience, what was it ?" " A fearful one. 1 had felt languid and unfitted for business for years. But I did not know what ailed mo. When, however, I found it was kidney difficulty I thought there was little hope, and so did the doctors. I have since learned that one of the physicians of this city pointed me out to a gentleman on the streot one day, saying: 'There goes a man who will bo dead within a year.' I believe hit words would have proven true if I had not fortunately secured and used the remedy now known^aa Warner's Safe Kidney and Livei Cure." "And this causod you to manufacture it ?" "No, it caused me to investigate. I went to the principal cities with Dr. Craig, the discoverer, and eiw the physicians prescribing and using it, and Baw that Dr. Craig was unable, with his fijcilitios, to supply the medicine to thousands who wanted it. I theretoro determined, as a duty I owed humanity and the suffering, to bring it within their reach, and now it is known in every part of America, ii sold in every drug store and has become a household neccsiity."
