Flashing Signtals.-The interest which has recently been taken in England in a the sun-signals which were ilashed from t Lord Chelmsford's army in Zululand and Major Pearson's advanced position at Ekowe has suggested to the directors I of tle 1olyteclil institution a popu- a lar subject, which has been introduced I in the formn of an illustrated lecture. I The flashing of signals may be and is I done in a great variety of ways. The I fundamnental principle of the language 1 flashed is the Morse telegraphic alpha- i bet, or a special series of numerals com posed of long and short signs, which i are read off by specially constructed dictionaries of sentences. Thus one, two, three, four, live short flashes mean respectively 1, 2, 3, 4, 0; one long-sus tatned light representS (3, one long one short7, one short one long 8, two long one short 9, and one long two short 10. A pause is made between each figure, and the signal is repeated by the sender until it is repeated by the -receiver. Thus, three short fIlashes would be 3, two short one long Would be 9, and two short would be 2; the full signal 392. Looking to the book of sentences, 392 would be fouud to be "Enemy on the alert." The snn flashes are made by a specially prepared instrument called a hellograph, the )rinciple of w leh Is simply the angulated mirror whic every school-boy Is thoroughly famillar with. When the days are dull and the sun not available other means are resorted to, one of tne most effective being a large erection on tihe principle of the Vene -tian blind. Whep tihe laths are open the structure at a few miles distanmee Is invisible: but when closed the form of a large dark tower is presented to tihe distant observer, whlich appears and disappears at short or long intervals, and gives thus the like telegraphic lan guage and the same signals. The col lapsible drum, the colomub, magiesiumn lamps, the electric light, the fog h'orn and steam whistle are all slimi larly employed for the same purpose an'd up on the same basis, both ashore and alloat, so that under all circumstances of weather, signals of importance can al ways be got through distances of ten or 1llfteen miles. A near vegetatole substance has re cently been discovered by M. M. Wurtz and Bouchat, which dissolves meat completely in a few hours, thus furnmish ing tie first instance of perf etartiicial digestion. The solition obtained ean be used as an artile of diet, aid is at once absorbed into tite system. Tie suastamnce used it thes-c experilteils Is extracted by a siple p oce.!s from a tree and can be procured In large quantities. Since the researches of Darvin and Hooker in insectivorous plants were publisied it has been known that certain vegetable julees w ere , capable of dissolving anlinal substances; but the digestive ferment had not been isolated in any iuanity, and the discovery was of little praetieal value. Now, however, it will, not only be possible for those having weak stom acls to digest a heir food be lore catirng it, bit they will be able to distinguish be tween thomse articles of food which can be readily dissolved and those which are insoluble and consequently Indigesti bie. Bldloons for War Purnposes.-Onm the occasion of the inaigurlation of M. Thier's statte a balloon ascent was made at Nancy on August 4. The wind was blowing from the west wIth a velocity of sixteen and a half kilonetres an hour, aid no variation In tihe directiont wais perceptible fromn the grounad 800 metres. 'lThe altitude of the balloon wvas tauken by officers front Maizeville, wvithm a thteodolite, anud signtals were exechan ged with the ground during.the ascent. T1he signals were given by time aro auats with a flaig, a~d brthae ofileers wvaih a reflecting mirror p meed ini the end of a tubhe, aund mounted mas a tele scop~e. Thte olclers dlireted the rays of the sunt on tie balloon, aund lutter cepted rays with a key ini order to rise the Morse alphabet. The dlistance of Maizleville from the balloon was more than six kilometres, and thme signals could be sceen at a mutch greater dis tancee, Ti'ts shows that in a besieged townt a p~assng baloon couald be uased for giving orders to, or receivia'g news fromn, friendly forces. Th is system of comnmunication hias been livented by one of the officers of the garrison. Copies of Records.-A new methtod o recordig insta umients has beena Inven ted by a foreign gentleman. It cont sists in copying the instrumtent by pho-. tographis itn miniature, and conivertinmlg the copies into metalle sheets with indented letters, from which en larged copies can be made to order. The same gentleman las iiventedl ani ingeniousk process or indexintg, too com plicated to be described here. It is a wonider that photography has not been systematichlly resortedh to in this coaan try for produLclig copies of records. Prof. Brum of Geneva, has described a curious case of poisoining in a child of two or three years of age. It was caused by eating a combination of cab bage and figs. The cabbage, he says must have produced a great abundance of lactic acid, wvhich In the preseitce of the figs,, developed enough of butyrlc acid to cause the death of the child, One of the largest machinists int Eng land recently puarchased a valuable In vention for making railway, carriage and othier springs by mnachinery, but his workmnen positively refused to avail themselves of it. It enided int his send ing time contrivance to Belgiuim,. to gethier with suitable material, and time springs are actually miade there andi re turned to England. A ges of Anias.

DUST FOR ANIMALS IN WINTEN.--f1 lost indispensable necessity of an 2mple supply of dust for animals in vinter is understood by very few stock ,rowers. All sorts of animals deligit n a dust bath. Chickens that havo easy and continual access to it will never be roubled witn vermin, either in their iouses or on their bodies. Cattle do ight to stand In a (lusty road scraping t up with their fore-feet, and flinging t over their backs.' The cheapest and nost effectual cure for lice on cattle is o scatter a quart of perfectly dry dust dong the spine from the horn to hle tail. In winter, when they can lot get it, many animals become cov 3red with vermin. The writer has a ain-tight wagon shed, with strips aiglht inches wide nailed close to the Zround on three sides, into which half L dozen wheelbarrow loads of dust are pIaced every fall. There the poultry Jelight to wallow and roll in the sun.

How I PAYS TO RAIsH CURaANT. Let us look, for a moment, into the de tails of growing say half an acre of aurrants and note what the resu It Is likely to be. A piece of land fitted to produce a good crop of potatoes is in a good condition to set to currants. To set then four by live feet will require about 1200 bushels, aild they should cost about $5 per hundred, During the first season potatoes may be planted between the rows and between the bushes, without materially injuring the growth of the bushes or the yield of the potatoes. During the second year beans may be planted between the rows. which, with what fruit is ob tained, should pay the original cost. And the third year they should pro duce 1}. pounds1 to the bush, which at 6 eIts per poinid, would a,mount to $108. Alter the bush has attained its growth, with good culture a fair aver age yield would be about three pounds to ti bush, hitch at 0 cents per pound, wo ild amount to .t.216. The expenses for labor and manure annually would uot vary materially from that required oi half an acre of potatoes after they were plailted. FARM SElDS 'ro TniE AciE.-Wheat broadcast, from a bushel and three pecks to two bushels-a bushel and a haf1 is eniough, sown in drill. Rye, same as wheat. Barley, two bushels and a half, broad cast-Lwo bushiels in drill. Oats, from two to three bus:els, broadcast-two bushels in drill. Bickwheiat, one bushel. Corn, iii ihi, about a gallon and a , oighum21, fromutwo to three quarts. Tiuothy grass, sown in fall to be fol lowed by clover in spring, from one an21d a haLf to two gallons. Red clover, to be sown in spring on timothy, onc.and a half to two gallons. Sown by itself, double the above quail tity. Red top grass, one and a half to two bushels. A bushel is fourteen pounds by weight. Kentucky blue grass, same1 ats red top. Orchard grass, Same as red top Alfalf'a or lucerne, tel pounds. German Millet, from three peeks to a b~usl1. Tu'Lrnips and1( rutabagas, onec pound. Irish p~otatoes, from twelve tO fifteen bushels. AnocT CORN AND WuEAT.-Corn loses one-fifth b~y drylig anid wheait one-fourteenth. From this the esti ate is made(I that It is more prontabie for farmers to sell unshelledi corn in the fall at 75 cents than at $1 a bushel in tile followving summer ; and~ that wheat at $1.25 in December Is equal to $1.30 in the succeeding June. In thxe case1 or potatoes-taking thlose that rot and11 are other~wise lost-together with thle shrinkage, there is but little doubt that between October and June the loss to the owner who holds them, is not less thlan 33 per cent.

WVA61fr1d krnLu.-Wasiing in niany amilies makes a day's hard work every bveek. It may be made much easier, mud quicker done, by using this. fluld, without injury to the clothes and with tittle expense. Two quarts of boiling bvater on a half-pound of inslaked lime. Dissolve in another vessel one 1ound of washing soda and one-half p)ound of borax in two quarts of water, 3hen mix with the lime and boll five ninutes; let it settle and bottle the 3lear part of the mixture' Use a small 'eacup of this to two pails of water with % small cup of soft soap or as nmuch hard ioap. Soak the' clothes first in clear sold water, then put in the boiler, in which the soap and mixture have been stirred in cold water, boll ten minutes, then take out, wash the dirty places, and rinse in plenty of clean water. The fluid saves more than half the work, very little rubbing being required-oven for clothes very much soiled. ToRxxovK DANDinuF. Thils is a natural secretion, but becomes a cu taneous comlplaint by neglect. Take an ounce of powdered borax, a piece of unslaked lime the size of a chestnut, and a tablespoonful of spirits of am monia; put themi in a quart bottle and 1ill It up with boiled or pump water. After twelve hours apply this wash to the scalp. Ladies can al)ly it best With a hie sponge. Rinse with tepid water. After a few applications teic scales will disappear, the hair becomes soft atid brilliant and the young hair will be seen to start out. Dandruff should be cured gradually, so as not to produce sick head-ache or dizziness by its sud den suppression. FLESH WORMS.-Whitt are called "flesh worms" can be removed and prevented from returniing by washing with tepid water, with proper friction by a towel, and by the application of a little cold cream. The longer these piles are permitted to remain in the skin, the more firmly they become fixed, and after a time, when they lose their moisture, they become converted into little bony spines, as dense as bristles, and having much of that character. They are known by the name of spotted fache. PoTA-ro PuFrs.-Take cold roast meat -beef, muttoin, or veal and ham to gether-cican from gristle, cut small, and season with pel)l)er and salt; also cut pickles, if liked, boll and mash soei potatoee, make them into a paste with an egg and roll out, dredging with flour; cut round with a saucer put soine of the seasoned meat upon one half and told the other like a puff; pinch ilneatly, and fry a light brown. STIrFED EGUs-Boil the eggs hard cut them in two lengthwise. aid re move the yolkg, whlich chop, adding to them sone cooked chicken, lamb, veal, or pickled tongue, and add enough gravy or te raw yelk of egg to blud hiem. Stuf 11 t lie cavities, smooth them, and press the two halves together; roll them in beaten egg and bread ernmbs. When just ready to serve, dip them in a wire basket, into boiling lard. drain, serve on napkin. Garnish with pars ley leaves, or serve with tomato sauce. MEAT LOAF.-Chop fine whatever cold meat you may have, fat and lean together, add pepper and salt, two slicesof bread which have been soaked in milk, and one egg. Mix well to gether, and bake in a form. This makes an admirable tea or breakfast dish. VAN rrms.-Six eggs, six tablespoons of sugar, pinchof salt, and flour enough to roll.

Rock~ Drilling by illectrill.y.-The alp a plication of electricity for the purpos ,of drilling or boring rocks has bee 1 suggested by M.

WriLE a family were at breakfast a day or two ago, they were greeted by the little gil of the family rushing into the room with a live mouse held tender ly in her hand, Just rescued from the family cat. '0. mamma,' she exclaim ed, 'Just see the poor little mousey; it's too bad to let the cat eat him.'

'Well, then,' answered back the little one, 'please give me apiece of cheese and let me feed him before he dies.' Ier heart was in the right place. A gentleman recently entered a book store In Nevada and inquired of the propriotor: "Have you Soule's Syn onymns?" "Soule's what? queried the other. "Soule's Synonyms," replied the purchaser.

Upon being Informed that synonyms were simply synony mnous words, and that in the book refer red to they were culled and arranged according to signification, lie remark ed: "Oh,' yes, I understand what synonyms are. They are not used in this country." A little Oil City girl observed her mother measuring cloth by holding it up to her nose with one hand and reach lug out to arm's length with the other. She assumed a thoughtful aspect, and, after cogitating a few moments, asked. I'low can you measure cloth that way ? Can you smell a yard ?" AN old farmer out in idmuiana says, hat for his part he don 't know where the present rage for trimming bonnets with birds is going to end.

GUILTY OF Wit'ING.-Soie people have a fasihion of con ta~ing excellein remedies witl thelirge mass of "pat ent nedicines," and in this they are guilty of a wrong. There are some ad vertised remedies fully worth all thit is asked for them, and one at least we know of-hop Bitters.

Tie simple, rational, common sense nature of this marvelous discovery of a cure so safo, easy and certain for a 'diseaso so painful and per sistont has excited the wonder of the people and admiration of medical men. It is the re sult of 40 years experience by a distinguished scientific physician. This really great remed3 combines the soothing system of the Engl-oh mechanical method of the French and the heroo medical custom of American Burgeons. "Anakosis" therefore affords almost instant relief from pain, keeps up the raw sensitive - tumors and both by pressure and medicAtlor oures the most lnveterate cases. of piles. It has stood the critical test of 20 years' us< against the coils of ignorant imitations and unscrupulous empiricism, over half a millior of persons have used It and none without benofit.

FALSE AND TRUE. We extract from Dr. R adway's "Treatise o disease and Its Curo," as follows: List of Diseases Vured by Radway's Sarsaparillian Resolvent. Chronic Skin Diseases. Caries of the Bone Humors in the Blood, Scrofulous Dise sea. Ba or unnatural Iabit of flody, Syphills and Veno ronl, Fever Sores, Chronic or tld Ulcers, Nalt theum, Rickets, Whito Swelling, Scal, iHeid, Uterine Afctothlns, Cankers, Glaibular Swell ings, Nodes, Wasting and Decay of the Hody, Pimples and Ii Lotches. Tumors, D~ysnepia, Kid ney aid Bladdor Dliseases, chronic Ith umatism and (lout, uonsunption, (ravel and Calculous Deposits, and varietes of the above complaints to which sometimes are given specious names. We assort that there is no known remedy that possesses the curative power over these dis eases t.11t RADWAY'S JIESOIsVsNT furnishes. It cures, step by step. surely, trom the founda tion, and restores the injured parts to their soun,1d COnittion. Tior wst its of iMe body are slopiped aid isealitiy blood is sup p lted to time hyatem, from which new mna t.rial I- tortiked. TJok is the fsat co, rectivo pt'vor of R ADWAY's RtisovsXKr. In cases where Ihe system has been alivaled. and Morcury, Quicksilver, Corrosiv Sublimate have accumu lated and become depos iod in tho bones, joints etc., causing caries of the bones, rickets. spinal curvaturns, contort ns, white swelilng4, vari cose veins, etc., the SAnRAPARII.LIAN will resolve wvay those deposits an , exterminate tho virus ')f the disease from the system. if those who are taking thitse medicines fM the cure of Chronic, Ser.. fulous or Syphilitic dis eases, however slow m.iy be the ouro, "ieel bet tor," and find their general health improving, their flo-ih and weight, i ncreasing, or even krol ing its own, li a sure nign that the cure is pro gressing, In those diseases tho patient, either gets better or worse-the virus of the diseasn i not inactive; if not arrested and driven fr.zj the blood it will spread and continue to umide nine the constitution. As soon as the SAP.SA. PAnIILLIAN makes the pat lont, 'feel bit ter," evei y hour you will grow better and increase In health, strength and %.osh. i OVARIAN TUMORS.
