.Pittil in Snall-Pox.-Mr. Gregory,
of Merenant's College, Blackpool, be
lieves that "pittlaig," the sad and per
manent result ot small-pox, ought
rarely be seen In any civilized CoM
munity. Hie starts with theose facts,
that poor people are pitted least, high
er-class people are pitted most, and no
class of people are pitted under their
dress. Poor people have less light in
their homes, the higher class plenty of
light, and under tile dress there is less
light than in either case. The explan
aiton Is a scientific one. Tile sunlight
consists of three primary colors. Th
red, the blue, and the yellow rays have
distinct and characteristic properties.
Tile yellow gives us ligh ., the red gives
us heat and tile blue actinism. It is the
actinic influence of the blue rays
which, in Mr. Gregory's theory, causes
"pitting.'' No seed will germinate,
and young plants will soon perish, if
the chemically active rays, that is, tihe
actinic rays, are filtered 1rom the sun
light. A yellow blind drawn ovor a
window w ill absorb all the actinie rays.
The pnts of variolar pubtules absorbs
by Its yellow medium the actinic rays,
which results in corrosion of the tel
der flesh at the base, and thus; leaves
the dreaded permanent "pittlng.
Ai ieaer-level indleator hais been in
trodiuced at the Leamington New Wa.
ter-works, En1gland, that serves to show
at tile eigine-house the level Of the
water in the reservoir, which is half i
mile away. Nature says that it imay be
made serviceable for automatically
announcing the condition of large
rivers, &c. Tie indicator has a dial,
oil whiclh are divisions corresponding
to the rise and fall Of tile water to be
registered, and a hand oil the dial
points to that division whlch denotes
the height the water may stand at 11113'
time lin the reservoir. A single line of
telegrahli wire communicates between
the Indicator inl tile enigine-hiouse and
the apparatus at tile plaCe where tie
water is accumitlated. This appara ;t
is so constricted that for every foot of
rise of' the water one polo of the bat
tery is brought into connection with
the l1ie for iL certain space of time, and
the current from the battery, atuat
ing tile indicator, causes tile hand to
Ilove to tile reqilsite distance round
the dial. When the water falls, the
opposite pole of the battery con neets
wvith the line, an([ this is manide to Itove
the hiand onl the dIal lin a contrary di1
rection. The apparatus liat 11he eser

and weight plaett ill the waiter. A
modification of' tills indicator might he
employed wvitI advaitage by the Signal
service.
Ch'ariny ont Torpedoes.-It. Is known
that dynamite torpedoes of 'from 100 to
200 pounds will ignite one another *t'
stink lin tel feet of' water, lit intervals
of 300 feet, when one of then Is ex
iloded. (I un-cottonl torpedoes are con
sidered to be somewhat less selsitive.
it is upon this fact of the ouluimunlea
bi)lity of iguition from torpedo to tor
pedo that the mnetihod of clearing a
channel of torpedoes Is bused. A pin
nae, taking alon1g a bun tdle of ins111
ated electric wires, starts froni a vessel
1.0 tile place where the torpedoes arc
stipliosed to be laid. Near the' first
torpedo ia charge of dynamite or guu
cotton, conniected to tile electric wires,
is dropped from the pinnace, and when
th1e plinae h1as retreated sufliciently
far, tile charge is exploded with tihe
eflect of dischlarging tile submarine
explosives in its neighborhlootl. N oth

The Georgian town of Jelizwvetpol,
nerTiflir. has suff1er'ei a plague of ho
enists almost as bad asd that wichl af
ilected Egypt in tile darys of Moses. On
thle 20th of April tihe inse, invaidedi
thte towvn ini 81uch1 numllbers that thle
mnerchauts had to shult upJ their Shlops,
and1( walking about the streets was ex
ceedhingly diflicult. The Riussianl auth
orities ordered tile inhalbitantsl to malike
a united effort to kill tile pests, but tile
generous peolhe refused, believing it a
sin to destroy a locust, untIl tile auith
orities thlreatenled to puish51 every
hloulseoider who failed to deliver daily
a given weight of dead insects. Tlhe
canals wvere filled with locusts, so that
water for drinking and walshing 0cou1(
only be obtaine d byv straininug. 'The
houses0 swarmned withl the creatures,
and many familIes went a wveek with
ou~t bread because their ovens wvere lit
erally filled with them. They trIed in
vain to drive the locusts away by light
ing the holy candles and burninug in
cense. The Armen Ian priests regarded
thie plague aa a visitation of God, and
brought from a neighboring town the
boneos of Jacob, which they carried
through the streets of the afficted city
in procession, fairly wiading throulgh
*masses of. dead and living locusts As
thley marched along with the relics of
the patriarch. Tihetenergetic measures
taken by the pollet finally abated the
evil, but not until the gardens, orch
ards, And vineyards had been stripped
bare, and the people had suffered for
moreo than a week.
AGRICULTURE.
A FAnat DE)D.-It is. lig" ly ltmpol
tant that every farmer should knloi
exactly what a deed for a farm conveyk

voys all the fences standing on th
farm), but all might not think it Include
all the fencing stui, posts, rails, etc.
which had once been used on the foct
but had been taken down and piled il
for future use again in the same place
Bit new fencing material just bough
and never attached to the soll, woulb
not pass. So piles of hop poles storem
away, If once used on the land, hav
been considered a part of Itt but loos,
boards or seatrold poles laid looseil
across the beams of the barn and neve
fastened wouild not be, and the seller o
the farm might take them away. Stand
Ing trees, of course, pass as part of' thi
land ; so do trees blown down or cu
down and still left in the woods wher
they fell, but not cut or corded i) foi
sale; the wood has then become per
sonal property. If there be any man
ire in the barnyard, or in a compac
heap ready for immediate use, the buy
er ordinarily takes that also as belong
lg to the [armia; though it m ight no
be so If the owner had previously solo
It to some other party, and collected I
lin a heal) by Itself'. Growing crops al
so pass by a deed of a farm unless thei
are expressly reserved, and when it L
not intended to convey these it shouhl
be stated in the dced itself; a mer
oral agreement to th it eflect would no
be valid in law. Another mode Is t4
stipulate that possession 1Is not to b4
given until sonme future day, in whicl
case the manure may be renrove:l befor
that time. As to the buildings on th<
fari, though generally mentioned o
the deed, it is not absolutely necessar
that they siotild be. A deed of lam
ordinarily carries all the bitildings t<
the grantor, whetheir granted or not
and this rule includes the lumber anm
timber in any old building that has bee
taken down or blown down, and Ia
been packed away for future use on thi
farm. But if there be any building
on the farim btit by some third person
with the farmnaer's leave, the (eed woukl
not convey these, since stch bluildingt
are personal property, and do not be
long to the land owner to convey. Thi
