SCIENCE. - A Polysphenic Ship.--For the last six years, the Rev. C. M. Ramus, Rector of East Guildeford and Playden, Eng land. has hold his invention of the poly sphenic shi1p at the disposal of the Ad miralty. This vessel, it is calculated, will kiin the seas at the rate of forty miles an hour or more. Tie word "skim"'' discloses the secret of the idea, for the invention Is mainly based oin the fact that it a vessel Can be made by the mere force with whlehi it moves to ride over thn waves mistead of driv Ing through them, there is a prima faeie reason to believe that a much higher speed thian anything yet reached will be achieved. The principle of Mr. Ramtus's Invention consists in making the bottom of the vessel a series of in clined planes. In1 1872 Mr. Ramus made a model having its bottom coml posed of two parallel and consecutive inclined planes; or the vessel may be described as made of two wedges, the thick ends of wliieh are placed abaft the thin ends. There Is thus in the centreof the vessel a ridge where tie thin end of the sternmost Wedge abits agalist the thick end of the foremost. Any foating body thus shaped imust, when driven forcibly through the water, tend to rise, and if the speed Is high enough it will 'se On the surface In stead of driving through the water. These facts were demonstrated by some rough experiments made in the pres ence of creditable witnesses. The pro pelling power in thes experiments was a six ounce rocket. II one trial the model veighing 3 pouids 3 ounces, ran a distance of 105 yards in 3 seconds. In another it ran 480 feet in 4%, see onds, the Wiater being ripple([ by a strong breeze, but. In spite of tumis the the (leek was0 found to be dry. The principle underlying these models, says The Mechanic, may be taken advantage of to constrtet wedge-shaped ships. for it has been demonstrated that the resis tance to such vesel, which It fIrst in creases about as the square of their ve locity, decreases as the sped is ang umented, until after a certain perliod there is no further increase of resis tance. Given the required machlIinery, then, for propclliig the polysphentei ship and there seems to overy proba bility that speeds of forty miles am liour or more can be attaltied. The Lightninig-Rod. - The 8t. Louls Academy of Sciences has been throw ing light upon the lightiig-rod, con cerning which, said Professor Niplier' there are many popular delusions. On(e is, that. if onec or two rods voitail mng an equal anoiunt of- metal be hol lowed out, thus giving it greater. ex panse, its conidtictive poier would be greater thait that O1' the other. Te truth is that they would be eqnally good condIuctors. Another erronecouaS impressin which 11he Professor pro ceetled to dispel was that a current, oi electricity runs along lie surface of a wire. tit reality it extends through the entire wire When the eircuit is made, Mr. Nipher said, b~uit w biic the circuit is closed, it aectunitlates upon the surface of the cotiductor. A strong point iANe ws115 tit lightn ing-rods do not attract, the lightning. They are splendid coituictors, anin mch better than iwood or air, aiml ligtitilig strikeRs themi because tiey offer the least resis tance to the passage of the electric Cur retic. It makes no difference whether a point be Oin a lightning-rorh or not, so far as tle plrotetioni of biuildillngs is concerned.

A balloon floats in tie air for the samte reason that a cork floats on water -it Is lIghter. The first successful trfals were mnatto with bags filled wvith wvarmn air. Smoke generally rises be cause It contaIns a good deal of warm air. It is in this wvay that "fire bal loons"' are used at the present time. One of the first balloons of this kind wvas madeby Live brothers named Mont golier, in France, in 1783. They used some coarse linen, wvhich they cut into shapes so that when thbey were together at the edges they formed a big bag about thirty feet across when bhowvn out. They lIned this bag wvith paper and, as they wanted to dry the iuiside, It was hung up, amid a fire was lighted under it for thIs purpose. Th'lis wvarmi ed the air inside, and as it got full or this dry warm air it wantetd to go up. This smoke balloon set tie brothers thinking of a plan by wvhleh they could keep it full of warm air. Tihey soon car ried it into effect by putting mat the bot tom of tihe bag cross poles, to which they fixed a grate, and lighted a fire of chopped straw, In five minutes tihe bag had swelled out to its full size, and took eight men to hold it down. Thmis balloon, when so filled, wvas able to lift a weIght of five hundred pollnds, so thej hunlg a basket underneath, a:md put into.,It a sheep, 'a duc1k and a cock. They went up a height of nearly onle thousand Jive hundred feet, and travel ed a little miore than two miles. How the an'ials liied 'their extraordinary ride In the air is not toldJ; but ,when found, thme sheep was quietly feeding clos6 to Where tile balloon fell, and the duck and cdek pecking about in tpeir usual n ann ter. This experiment was a little In savanice -of' thme soap bubble whlcif first rabminded the .bro~hen! M(ontgroliler of the balloon. FARM AND GARDEN. BoYs oN A FAIM.-There Is a saying that one boy Is a boy, two 1loys are half a boy, and three boys are no boys at all. An uncomplimneitary statement with some semblance of verity, but lacking tie ring of absolute truth. When a boy is old enough to save steps he takes his ulace as a considerable factor in the domestic pi-oblem. Ills energies need competent direction ; so do those of' most men. With Increasing years lie should be encouraged to take an i inter est in the allzirs of the farm. 11 hould be taught not biuly how to do, but why and wherefore. As lie grows older anl(d begins to take hIs place with the m1en1 Itu tihe field, don't expect hIm to "hoe his own row,'' bu, 11011) him1 to keep abreast, or better still, a little iahead. Inuctet thoroughiness. This will require line upon titne and precept upon precept. l)emand of him not 41iantity, but as good ia quality of work is a boy can do. The boy who Is old inough to handle a hoe is old enougth to swear etenal enmiity to wee(s. )on't 8end hm tor a Jug of vater while you rest yourself in the Shade, and tell hm to "come on." Make his lious short. Let his labor be some. hijtng more than exercise and a good .eal less thia weariness to the flesh. Jive him something for his very own -a pIg or a brood of chickens. If he inclines to rabbits o.- pigeons, gratify hlim. W lien lie tires of them and wIan1s to ''trade," let hhm do so. The sense :f ownershp will assist him to the knowledge of relative values; and If he makes a losing bargain hIs experience will not be dearer than that acquired in ait older school. To the average boy a mueloin patch is a "thing of beauty imid a joy forever." Let him have a good spot for the purpose; not lit a corner or under an apple tree, but Dopen to the sumishine and the dews of heaven. Teach him how to plant, how to eiltivate..aind how to keel) the 'ugs D1f'. And if his boyish l riatlence cannot 1bide tihe slow process of natural ripin lug, anid lie "plugs" the whole happy lot of them, ats lie )robaply will, no niatter. Many a mai plugs hIs melons ill his life. A smart boy never repents Lte operai.on. oil -IMADINM MANUnii.-The best prac tice is to spread the mamiuae upon the plowed ground and to work It ina with a harrow. This is most conveniently lone by having inutire in a fine co'idi tion. Fine nanure may be made in two ways; either by Iiling It and rnt tIig it Inl the heap, or by using only siort litter. It is found In Practice that it pays to cut the litter with a fod lier cutter, so that it will not only ab -orb miore of the lIquitd manure, but 1iat It cam be easily spread when fresh. The ordinary harrow VIil then mix the iimanure w iLiithie soil in the most 'llective iianiier. With long manure he work IS not so easily done, but it imy be accomplished by persevering. lhe niure will be drawn into heaps, loibtless; but by freeing the harrow il(] spreading theso and harrowing gin, and again if necessary, the te 4Ired result will be attined. There are ioeic improved kinds of harrows which loes this work uiich better than others. h'he sloiig-tootLh harrow acts favorably l)y pressing the inianu re into the soil, tud drawing tihe earth over It; tihe flex Ible hah:lii hiarrow has tile samie Vfleet; ut the steel disc harrow not only does hIls, bmt it cuts and breakt ill) the long Iltter and reduces it to fragments. This liarrow consists of a series of thin, shrpiti-edged discs, which revolve upon ixies il It diflerent direction from that of' the miovemienit of the imlplemenit. E:uchi disc thins not only cuts Into tihe sol I, but It thurows upl a small furrow of hliht soll behind it, this latter feet be ig assisted by the conicave or saucer shaplled formi of the disc.

SNAKE BITES.-ThO iangs-these are two in number-of a poisonous serpent are hollow. Through these langA the poison Is in ected Iuto the wounlds nade by then. 'I le bite of a polsonous snake always makes two deep punctures; that of t non-poisoions:snake Is irregular in shape. WV hen the poison i injected into a large vein death miy be almost In stanitaneous. Death from a rattlesnake bite generally occurs in five or six hours. 'Tie pain, n hich is severer than a be sting at the start, becomes more inl dI more excrulciating to the last. The limbs, and especially the head, become greatly swelled. If the victim lastroig he may live a few hours longer, and then die of general mortifleation. The rattlesnake can neither spring uponi a mai, nor can It pursue rapidly. Ordi narily, snakes bite only when they are provoked. Where vipers and smaller snakes are found, woodmen and others should wear thick boots, as they seldom attempt to bite above the ankle, and their fangs penetrate tile leather. A person bitteni should drink freely, every fifteen or twenty minutes. a gill or more at time, of whiiskby, brandy, gin or rum, diluted with hot water, stopling Just short of Intoxication. T1his will geniorally ef'ect a cure In a few hours, in tie cases of bites from dur American snakes. As serpent poisons are iot lijurlous when taken into tile stomach, it is always safe to let a Pesol stick the wound with his mouth, pro vided there It no abrasion about. the lips. BaxAD PiDJ)INo.-Plaee slices of but tered bread into a deep pudding dish. Cover the bread with thin slices of tart apples ; then prut oil another layer of bread and apples, and continue this until the dish Is full.

VWrNtArioN.-Many persons ciln plain of always getting up tired in tile morning. Titls is very often (ute to de fective ventilation of tile bed-room, or from using anll undue mioulnlt of warm bed-clothes and bedding. Feather beds are too soft and yielding, and partially envelop tile sleeper, thus producing pro fuse perspiration. Again, it ia a coi mon error to suippose that by shiply oIeiIInlg at wiMIow a the tOp a room en be ventilated. People forget that for proper ventilation there must be an in let and outlet for tile air. In bed-rooms there is often neither, and if there is a lire-pince, it Is generally closed up. Again, i is a ILmistake to stppose that foul air goes to the top, but the chief impurity, the carbonic acid, falls tile bottom. There is nothing so effleacious In removing the lower strataI of air, as the ordinary open fire-place, especially It there is a tire bu nin1g. M aLK ROLLs.-TIhese rolls can be served hot or cold.
