By the side, and, with the t'm below the bottom of' the first basin, is a basin not quite half its size. A third basin, about midway between the other two in size, stands with its lower edge rather higher than the uipper of the first basin. The first is pirovidled with a cover, half of wthleh Is screwed on, *while the other half nway be opened or shut close. Above the bottom there is a sieve of wire gause, and at the bottom a discharge cock. In addition the pipe goes to the bottom, through wvhieh steam can readily be conveyed. F~rom beet~he utpper edge a pipie passes over the edge into the second basiin. In the second basin is a hand f'orce pttmp for puniping thme impregnated fluid into the .thitrd basin, wihich is furnished with a discharging cock.

Professor Elkman, who bas long been engaged in the study of the phyalcal condition of be sea on the coast of Soan dinavia, has published in a paper read before the Royal Boelety of Solence of Upsula his views on' time causes of ocean currents, which merit tihe more attention as tihe coast of Swedon affords iumerous opportunities for the exam in tton of currents produced in very dif'erent ways. If we take a general view of the etreits produced upon the ocean by tihe different forces which or iginally set its waters in motion, we find, singularly enough, that each of these forces produces both of the kinds Qfstreatn- viz., a surfaco streamn caused by a limtited, and a deep stream by an unlimited, disturbance of the equillb rium. IeIat produces a surface action by wariminmg the water, and a deep stream by evaporating it. Cold can i/rodtce an undercurrent by tihe con traction, aml still more by tihe concen triation of tihe water, but It thon leaves at time surface a tendency to disturbance of equilibrium, which shows itself in tie form of a surface stream ol time ielting of' ice. Rainfall causes a deep strean as its Imnediato cons(quence, and a surface current of lighter water is a secondary effect. Winds occasion directly surfaco currents, and deep streams by changing the level. Rivers, and similar constant outpourings of lighter water, give immediate rise only to surface stremats. but produce tinder currents by mechanlical reneotLol ; streams of timls kind often accompany even the above mentioned. Time spe cille gravity of tie water plays ini all these cases a very varied part, but al ways one which is 1i some respect or other importamit. It usually determines the level of tihe water strata, but not always. .Neo Car 0 )tleatuiy Apauratu m.-A niew car heathig systeit has been adopted by the 11etropolitai Elevated Riallroad, of New York, and the apparatus hats been applied to all the cars on time road, li ch Car is provided Wtlli two radliators, coipiosed ot'sections of threo in1c01 east iron pl4w, comiected end to end by short pieces of one iich wroglit iron pip.

'ON TiN CARE OF INFANTs.-ll liurs ing, over-feeding does aore harm than aylitliIng else; nurse an infant a month or two old every two or three hours. Nurse an-itfant of six months over live times in twenty-four hours, and no more. It an iinfait is thirsty give it pure water; or barley water; no sugar. If the Infant must be fed, boil a tea spoouful of powdered barley (ground in a coffee griider) and a gill of water, with a little salt, for lifteen minutes, strail them), mix it with half as much boiled milk, add a lump of white sugar, size of a walmut, and give it lukewarm from a nursing bottle; keep bottle and miouthpiece .1i a bowl of water when not in use, to which a little soda may be added. For infants live or six months old, give half barley-water and half-boiled milk, with salt and a lump of sugar. For older infants give more milk than barley-water. Eor infants very costive givl oatmeal Instead of barley. Cook and strain as before. When1 the breast milk Is only half enough, ebange oil between breast milk and this prepared. food. In hot weather, if blue litmus paper, applied to tihe food, turns red, the food is too acid, and you must make a fresh mss, or add a snall pinch of baking soda. Ilfants of six months may have beef ten and beef soup once a day, by itself or mixed with other food; an when ten or twelve months old a crust of' bread and a piece of rare beef to suck. No child mier two years ought to eat it your table. Give no candles-in fact, niothimg that is not contained in tiese rules, without a doctor's orders. Slimmer cotpiflaints conic from over feeding amid hot and foul air. Kee) Iloors and windows open. Wash your children well with cold water twice a lay, and ofttener In the hot season.

Mr. 3ieCook has seen an ant kneel down before another, and thrust forward the head under the face of the other, and lie motionless, expressing quite plainly the desire to be cleansed; the* other alnt tiiderstood this and1( went to wvork.

It Is next in importance that he be fed at certain regular hours; also that lie be not fed too much at once, as he should clean out the manger every time, especially if not used, and be ready to grab at the next mess; it will do no harm if the bunk lsenpty two or hree hours. Horses fed .in this way will really eat more and do better than if the manger Is constantly cranned with that which has been mussed over; besides, the 'Iorse is not kept stuifed all the time and lils wind 1s better. Again, It makes'a great (ililerence what a horse Is fed. Hay and oats alone will soon ruin some horses, and hay should not be fed steadily to any horse. A safe system of feeding in winter is as fol lows: hay in the morning, an good bright cornstalks twice a (lay, with a few ears of corn morning and night if not working, otherwise, corn three times a day, the cornstalks being just loosening enough to counteract tihe ef fects of the hay and keep the animal healthy. Oat straw may be used in place of the cornstalks, or together; and then oats may be fed in place of corn. If a horse is not being used he should not stand in the stable two days in succession, but on mild days. should be let out in the yard for exer else a few hours, or be hitched up and driven. When the horse comes to be worked in the spring, the feed should be changed entirely ; but in changing feed always do It gradually, and no harm will ensue. Whlen working, the feedt should consist of cut hay, wetted and mixed with meal made of corn and oats in equal parts ground together; and It is astoniehing how little feed of this kind will keel) a horse good at hard labor, it gaunts him, as lie should be; he Is not stuired with hay, his wind, or breathing power, is better, and lie does not seek to drink so much water. As to watering, I have said nothing, as the rules for that are so simple and so gen erally understood that any man who will founder a horse ought to be fined and imprisoned for cruelty to animals. In regard to the rearing and raising of horses, I will say but little, being not an expert, though I -imust have some useful knowledge, and will simply add : [n the nmanagdmnent of a horse bring in to play all your skill and ingenuity, taking advantage of your knowledge of the nature and disposition of the par ticular one with which you are dealing, which knowledge you will obtain by observation and thus avoid tihe necess ity of ruling by brute force. IfrALTI HINTS FOR i'Altm-ImS.--Di:n ger comes from sudden straiiiinag of one muscle or set of muscles, so as to injure their tissue and cause lameness. Few escape this. Thei add to these the injury fron overwork. Overwork is simply working after the strength h1a< beenl reducled s. low that it is pain 'ul or wearying to move. It is work ing after the nourishment in tihe blood has been mostly used up. It is like keeping the mill going when the steam is low. or when the water in the dam is nearly out. In such eases not only the muscles suffer, but all the organs of the body. Overwork at last, no mat ter what kind it is, produces baikrupt cy of the body, which is worse thani any kind of bankruptcy, bad as they all are. In the care of the tauscles avold colds and rheumatism. They make people still' and linae. They take away tihe natural elasticity whlie gives so munch pleasure, amu substitute a wvornout, tired, exhausted feeling whlich~ borders on pain, and is often more difficult to bear. How very care fuli time owner of a iliac horse is that it shall not take cold, lie knows if it does it will founder, and after- this it will never be a goodi stopper. Our whole countrny is full of iou ndered men and women, who are still', lame rheumatic, 01ld in feeling, inehastie. Most of them might have preservedl their elasticity to ok(1 age if they hiad takeni proper care of themselves. As a rule farmers do not bathe as miuchm as they shouild. TVhe (daily bath is to them quite as important as to any class. it requires but a few mnohents to take it, and when followed by friction, it forti fles the skins against colds. SrnOrUTINo PO-TrroS. -- Sprouting thme white potato wIll advance the crop two wveeks. .lhey should be cut so that about two eyes are allowed to each p~iece, and these should be planted in hot beds with very thin covering of soil; or it is' better to plant in boxes or set these -in a hot-bed ; so that after they are properly sprouted they can be at once carrIed to ths~ place of plantin g. If the nights should be aniyway's coldi, protect with a thin covering of straw when the plants make their appearance above groundi~. Some personis, who want a large quantity sprouted, cut the p~otatoes as desired, andl spreadl them on boards, boxes or crates in a dark place, and when sprouted, say fronau an inch to an inch and a half, expose them to the light, moistening two or three tImes a week with tepid water. They should be planted out so that there is niot more than two inches of soii over the top) of the sprout. RIAnnira IN Onenns.-In many or chmards rabbits (10 serious injury by barking young trees.
