Im ; according to Mr. S. E. Peal, r : l idulating spider whoso sound !i!v !h" pouring of shot upon a pla'v -can be heard 1U or 12- yards; mis that produce sounds -by rasping the horny tip of the last abdominal m l;!:; at against dry leaves or twigs; and a butterlly which produces a se rifs of taps with its wings. There are now three' forms of chim neys, according to Mr. W. H. Wake nian. in one form the top is smaller than the base of the due; another is larger at the top; and the third is of uniform size throughout. Which kind is best appears to be still an open question. Those who favor the first argue that it is the most natural form, and that as the products of combus tion eool and contract in ascending they need less space at the top. Ad vocates ol the second admit that the gases contract on cooling, but reason that friction increases rapidly, making advisable to lenlarge the chimney to give increasing draught. Those who favor the third affirm that the con traction of the gases counterbalances the friction and that a Hue of uniform size is correct. The sparks that Jly off when a piece of metal is ground on an emery wheel are due to the burning in air of min ute particles of the metal. A French experimenter, M. Engelmeyer, has shown that these sparks vary in form with different metals, and points out tlutt observing workmen have long heen accustomed, to recognize differ ent grades and kinds of metal by the .character of the jet of sparks given oil". M. Engelmeyer tested pieces of soft iron, steel and brass upon a course cilery wheel. A sheaf of continuous lines characterized the soft iron; a star, the steel; a tlower, altogether unlike the star, steel, making a gradual tran sition from the pure sheaf to the pure star, and corresponding thus to the imperceptible transition really existing between the irons ami the steels. A tilth, form of sparks very slightly lu minous or 'Mark" lines results when the particles of metal are torn away while only slightly heated, and is pro duced by fragile brones. The duration of oil waterproofing of brieks and sandstone has been tested in Australia by Prof. Liversidge. The three commonest oils were used lin-se-.-d oil. boiled linseed, anil the crude mineral od known as "blue oil." The -.la-:, was the most readily absorbed, but ir had entirely evaporated at the end of a year. After treatment with the linseed oils, the bricks were prac-ti.-ailv unehauged at the end of four years, having 16st no weight anil lo- iug -till nearly impervious to water, while the sandstone had returned to it- original weight without losing the waterproof qualitv imparted bv the oil. A German physician who accom- panied a detachment br soldiers in the disastrous retreat from 'Moscow. states The Independent, has left an inter esting fraper containing his observa tions on the mental effects of the in tense cold , upon the soldiers. The hrst notable effect is a loss of memory. , the next a paralysis of the will. Sol- j diers forgot the names of the most I common things about them could not ven remember the names of the articles of food for the lack of perish- j ing. It is true that they were enfee bled aju half-starved; but it probably took a less degree of cold to produce the above-named effects in them than in men moren igorous. But the paper shows what occurs in a lesser degree in the robust. In the psychic point of view, when subjected to long and in tense low temperature. . The continued use of the copper so lutions (Bordeaux mixture) in spray ing vine or potato plants has-been found by MA. Firard to have no in jurious effect on the soil. It is doubt ed, however, whether spraying has bean practiced long enough to thor oughly test this point, for vegetables and fruits, it is stated, do acquire a coppery taste when grown on soil sat urated with salts of copper. Numerous cases of a well-marked febrile disease, terminating in a pneu monia, are reported to the occurred in Is durin-the last three veirs.

Hints to Housewives. Keep lowers fresh by putting a pinch of soda into the water. Vaseline rubbed well into the scalp will increase the growth of the hair. If sassafras-bark is sprinkled among dried fruit it wUl keep out the worms. A fresh egg has a lime-like sunface; stale esrgs are glossv and smootbof, shell. Before attempting to chop parsley wash it and squeeze it very dry in a clean cloth. a Ammonia will 'make all glass shine if a small amount is used iii the wash ing water. Remove grease from garments by sponging with one tablespoonful of salt to four of alcohol. Molasses used in cooking should ije previously boiled and skimmed. This removes the raw taste. Clothes pins boiled a few minutes and-quickly -dried, onca or twice a month, become more durable. To remove hard grease spots from a stove put a few drops of kerosene oil on a cloth ami rub them with it. Unslacked lime is excellent for clean ing small articles in steel, such as jew elry, buckles ami the like. Keep your bread pans and apple dishes free from ill llayor by always washing them in hot water after using. AVhen ironing star died clothes put some kerosene on a cloth and rub every iron on it as taken from the stove. A pinch of soda added to sour fruit will take away much of the tartness and make much less sugar necessary for sweetening. Strips of cotton cloth, an inch wide, wet and placed around pies, will keep the iuice in. Remove when first taken from the. oven. If ink is spattered on woodwork it may be taken out by scouring with sand and water and a little ammonia: then rinse with soda water. It is stated that a pail of water con taining a handful of bay. if placed in a room where there has been smoking, w ill absorb all the odor of tobacco. 15oil a cup of vinegar on .he stove at the ame time onions are cooking, and theodorlwill be hardly perceptible, and will not spread through the house.

It has more cataracts, and they f ill farther and taster and harder, and roar louder, ami look grander than all other cataracts . It has more snow on them and they are harder to to get up, and easier to fall down than all other mountains. It has more gold, and is heavier and brighter, and worth more than the gold of other countries.
