IceJaitd. The discovery of immenso beda of sulphur in Iceland bids fair to make "a material change in the trade of that 'substance, the Italian, miue.s? according to recent nooounts, having become to a oonsiderable"degree exhausted.' An Eng lishman, Mr. Locke, has' puroheaed six square miles in tho* regio? adjoin ing Lake Myvatn, in which aro moun tains of almost solid milph^riklm|?gw^; low color of which is viaiolo W^^grBBlf1 distanoe. lints. To banish rats plant asphodel near the barn or stable where they are, or put some in their holes. Eats havo such an aversion to this plant that they will quit the premises: whero.it. is.. If they are hi drains or in 'cellars', scatter sulphate of iron (copperas) in tffoir" runs. The copperas should not be dis solved. It is our best and cheapest disinfectant. The sulphuric acid burns their feet, and they? leave-in. a short time without .dying. Thio will bo ap preciated by ?very housekeeper .that lias to endure the stench of a dead rat. Range of Torpedoes. From recentTexperiments 'conducted by an English torpedo committee again?t'the iron hull Ob or on, with the view of ascertaining the maximum dis tance within which tho engines of an enemy'a vessel might be 'rendered use less, if not tho ship herself destroyed, by the explosion of a submarine tor pedo, it appears that the hull of an iron-clad is practically safe from dan ger at a range or 100 feet from a 600 pound ob. arge of gun cotton, exploded in forty-eight feet of water, but that her engines are liable to derangement at that distance. Cure for Dlptherla. The ravages of diptheria in Aus tralia havo boon so extensive within the last few years that the government of fered a large reward for any certain mothod of cure ; and among other re sponses to this was ono by Mr. Great head, who at first kept his method a secret, but afterward communicated it frooly to tho public. It is simply the use of sulphuric acid, of whioh four drops aro diluted in three-fourths of a tumbler nf water to bo administered to a grown person and a 'smaller dose to children, at intervals* not specified. Tho remit is said to be a coagulation of tho dipthoritio membrane, and its ready removal by coughing. It is as sorted that where the' case thus treated has not advanced to a nearly fatal ter mination the patient recovered in al most every instance. Weights of Boys and Ulrls. Upon ' the average, .-boys at birth woigh a little more and girls a little less than seven pounds. For the first twelve years the two sexes continue nearly equal in weight, bnt beyond that age the, boys acquire a decided propon deranoe. Young men of twenty average one hnudred and thirty-five pounds, while the young women of twenty aver age ono hnudred and ten ponnds each. Men reach their heaviest weight at about forty years of age, when their av erage weight will be about one hun dred and forty pounds, but women slowly inorease in weight until fifty years of ago, when their average weight will bo ono hundred and thirty. Taking the men and women'together, th(lr weight at full growth will i then average from ono hundred and eight to one hundred and fifty; and women from eighty to ono hundred and thirty. The avorage weight of humanity all over the. world, taking tho ages and- conditions, work ingmen and women, and gentleman and la<1 ies without occupation, black and white, boys, girls and babies, is very nearly one hundred pounds, avoirdu pois weight. Mystery of trie I.alten. Lake Erie is only SO or 70 feet deep ; but Lako Ontario, whioh is 592 feet doep, is 230 feet below the tide level of tho ocean, Or as low as most parts of the Gulf of St. Lawrence; and the bot toms of Lakes Huron, Michigan and Superior, although the surfaoe is not much higher, are all, from their vast depths, on a level with the bottom of Ontario. Now, as the discharge through tho River Detroit, after allowing for tho probable portion carried off by evaporation, does not appear by any moans equal to the quantity of water which the three upper lakes receive, it has boon conjectured that a subterra nean river may run from Lake Superior, by tho Huron, to Lake Ontario. This oonjeoture -is not improbable, and ac counts for the singular fact that salmon and herring are caught in all the lakes oommunicationg with the St, Lawrence, but no others. As the falls of Niagara must havo always existed, it would puz zle tho naturalist to say how these fish got into tho upper lakes without some subterranean river ; moreover, any peri odical obstruction of the river would furnish a not improbable solution of the mysterious flux and reflux of the lakes. ArtlAclnl Illrds' Nesta. A Writer in L'Hlnstration, roferring to the Bois de Vinoennes, says : " They aro placing this year, as thoy did last year, a "great'number of artificial nests in tho clumps and thiokcts of this wood. Wero yon aware thr?t there existed in Paris workmen skillful enough to fabri cate nests so admirably oonstrnoted as to take in (in moro than ono sonso) the very bird? themselves? Thoy mako thefn for tho thievish and quarrelsome sparrow, for the titmouse with the azurd tail, for tho warblor, for tho kingfisher (there aro largo artificial lakes in the ilois do Vinoennes), and for tho ohaf flnch. The onokoo, tho blackbird, and tho magpie himself are not forgotten. Such beautiful nests 1 Large and small apartments for feathered families to bo lot, with immediate possession, without taking a lease, or with a leaso of three, six, or nine years, at pleasure" Those, by the way, are the usual terms of leases in France. The writer goes on to state that tlrroo thousand of these nests have beeri put up. The" plan, we believe, was first suggested by a pro foBsbr.pf the Jase3naBs>JPlanteB( with a view^of^oo^agingVthe (lnnltiplioa-J tion of birds that r^ay help < to destroy I worms and insects injuriqus.^to vegeta tion. '?" > ?*??*? ' :- \ Infantioldo l;y Opium. !S One of the best informed physicians in England, \Drl'Mitchell, employed in the public health service, some time ago published a mass of testimony ob tained by him from numerous medical witnesses, showing the almost universal resort to opium in order to benumb and stupefy children, even those of the ten dor est ago; a very common preparation of this sort being a so-called cordial made of treacle and opium. 80 gonond, it appears, is tho use of this mixture, that ouatomors go to the apothecaries, and, without any hesitation, ask #or a dbso of - it "to give to the baby next I day, as they are going out to walk" I Ohemisto frankly admit that they make and sell these opium decoctions by the barrel and hogsheads full. This balofnl usage prevails not only in the I colliery districts, but also in the manu facturing and non-mnnufaoturing dis tricts; and it is stated by ono P^yw^iJ [Thorp in the ^Nottingham,' Dcrbr - . nud .Leicester districts tho habit of adminis tering opium to infants usually begins when the child is three or four weeks old. * And-still another witness asserts that the opiam cordial is given on tho very day of birth, being in readinetss for that event. The inevitable result'of this terrible custom is, of course, that great numbers of infants perish, either suddenly from an overdose, or, as more commonly happens, by slow, painful, insidious disease. Compared, there fore, with this form of infanticide, the kind praotioed by the Chinese may be said to be merciful. Complimentary. In a recent address ex-Senator Doo little remarked: "Whatever may bo said in criticism of Mr. Johnson's pub lic course, all parties agree that the white house was never more graoefnlly kept and presided over, than by his daughter, Mrs. Patterson?a perfect la dy, a model of a republican mistress of the white house. Let me tell a foot whieh has never been published, but which I had from the lady's own lips. Just as she was about to leave, at the end of Mr. Johnson's administration, tho steward of the house took an inven tory, and found that not ono article of furniture was missing or broken, not a sheet, towel or napkin was lost, and the house was in perfect order from top to bottom. She told mo another fact, whioh I know tho wivoa and daughters of the farmers of Wisconsin will be glad to hear. When they went into .the white house she purohased two excel lent cows. . From the milk of these oows she made all the butter, used all the cream, and made all the ice-cream used in tho President'? family during his term. When she went home, she shipped these oows to Tennessee. Is it any wonder, ladies, that Mrs. Patterson received the first premium on batter at their fair, last fall?" Tho Wondrous 11 Green Vault.,, 1. A correspondent of the Chicago Jour nal, speaking of the art collections of Dresden, says : " For wealth of con tents', .the 'Green Vault' excels any and all the rest of tho collections. The ' Green Vault' consists of several vault ed apartments on the ground floor of the museum, caoh of which is devoted to some one kind of valuable object. In one are Florentine and other rrota ics ; in another gold and silver plate whioh adorned the banquets ot the Saxon kings ; in another vessels formed of half precious stones, among whioh are two goblets, valued at $6,000 each. In the last are found articles tho most valuable of all: one, oalled the court of the great mogul, consists of 138 figures of pure gold and enamelled, and cost $58,000 ; and finally comes a glass oase filled with most precious suits of costly jewels, sapphires, emeralds, ru bies, pearls, and, in still greater profu sion, diamonds. One hardly knows whioh to be astonished at most, the wonderful richness of the collection or the wonderful folly of the princes who, from taxes no doubt levied upon their subjects, would collect such an amount j of wealth to lie for years as dead! capital/' _ A Steam Older-Mill. The Detroit Tribune in recording the observations of the Michigan orchard committee says: At Battle Greek the committee had the pleasure of examin ing a new cider-mill and press. The grinding of the applet, pressing, and pumping are all done by steam power. The apples are ground very rapidly, and the "cheeses" are put up in one quarter of the time required in the old mode, stout cambric being used instead of straw in making up the "cheeses," so that the juice comes out pretty free from pulp. Two men will lay up a good-sized "cheese," in fifteen minutes. The press is then applied, and is self working, and by the time another "oheese" is ready to be presses the first "oheese" is ready to be removed. Tho cider flows into a oistcrn beneath the floor, from whioh it is forced !i>*y a large tank above ; but before it goes in to the tank it passes through a char coal filter, whioh renders it pure and dear. By extending iron pipes from this tank to a side track whioh has been laid near tho mill, barrels ore filled aboaid cars. A barrel of cider is given for ton boshels of apples; tho price for making wo did not lo?rn. & I Hedge Growing. An Illinois farmers' club, located whoro a good deal of hedgo grows and a great deal "of experimental farming has been done, iu reported as thus orys talizing the experience of tho hedge growers of tho club in n ronulntion: "That in our opinion, to bo successful in making a good and lasting hedge fence, wo should set tho plants eight inohes apart, cultivate well for three years, or until the canes aro at least ono inoh in diameter, then plash, leav ing the canes standing above on an an gle of forty degrees." Laying close to the ground and twisting or interweav ing the plants, were both condemned ?s unsuccessful.' Observation has taught that the method indicate-.' above is tho cheapest and surest way to secure an efficient he tlgo of on ago orange in tho shortebt time. Whisky and titr Weed.?Intelligent \physiologists and pathologists admit that all so-called medicines containing alcohol-?whether ihey emanate from the regular pharmacopoeia and aro called tinctures, or from the empirical rum mills, and are labelled 41 tonics "?are essentially dangerous and destructive. The only way in whioh drunkenness can be arrested & by restoring the integrity of the nerves (especially tho nerves of tastes and the great sympathetic nerve), and purifying the animal fluids; and these objects are more certainly and swiftly acoompliahed by tho use of Dr. Walker's Vinegar Bitters than by any other means. Hence, wobably, the. opinions now so generally expressed, that thio pure preparation is a sovereign remedy f or .the evils referred to. Should it be oiearly ascertain od ihajt "Vinegar Bitters is not only a speoiflo for indiges tion, liver disease, nervousness, scrofu lous ulcers and eruptions, and a host of other disorders, but also for inebriety, thousands will rise up and call the dis coverer blessed. France has at last taken the initia tive ill A" f nnnnmv that in likely to lead to important results to agrioult?re. Tho municipal council of Paris has adopted a plan for cleansing the Seine, by which the sewage deposited in the river will bo diverted to the plains of Genevilliers.
