BEAUTIFUL FLOWERING PLANT WITH A BAD NAME

Origin of Fruit Canning—Effect of Lf^U on I'lants-KaMian Locomotive Car. Nothing Lc« Than an Earthquake trill Rouse Them.

It requires a great calamity to arouse in tbo general public any keen interest in the physical universe. As long as the machinery Of tbo world runs smoothly men in general are content with their ignorance of its functions it is only when it jar# a little tliat they awake to a sense of its importance. The comparatively moderate earthquake shocks I which recently damaged the city of CharlesI ton have served to torn the minds of persons who never before considered such questions to the problems of the geologist. They desire to know how it happened, and the likelihood of similar disturbances in other parts of the country.—Professor Sbalcr in Popular Science New.-t.

Rasidan Locomotive Car.

Much interest has been excited among engineers by the construction, under the direction of the Russian government, of some locomotive cars of a special tyjje for the Trauscaspian railway, and built so as to meet [j two difficulties, viz., the waterless character of a large section of the line, and the insignificant ordinary traffic. To meet the former the locomotive car is provided with tanks containing sufficient water to last seventy miles and, as the waterless stretch from Michaelovsk to Kazantchik is about fifty miles in length, this supply is amply sufficient under any contingencies that may occur. With regard to the second difficulty, the locomotive is constructed with a car connected to it and capable of conveying eighty passengers. Tho locomotive car is wanned by tho exhaust steam from the engine, by which arrangement an important economy in the consumption of fuel results.

Effect of tight on Plants.

From a series of experiments by Sachs a strange effect of light transmitted through a solution of sulphate of quinine is to bo seen upon the blossoming of plants. Germinated and grown under tho inlluence of such light, plants, while thriving otherwise, develop only small, imperfect and speedily perishable flowers. Light transmitted through pure water did not impair the blossoming powers.

Tho Jalap riant.

Tho jalap is a native of the Mexican Andes, •and derives its common imms from the city •of Jalapo. It has long been known to belong to the morning glory family (convoivulncac), but it litis 1KM!|I referred, from time to time, to several different genera. Tho most recent -authorities give its botanical name as ijomim purga. The plant is a twining oliiulier, with tho general habit of the mornIng glories. The ilowers have tho apiearance common t, Uio» of the family, us may be seen by tho engraving (Fig. 1), which givoi both flowers and foliage.

FLOW EH.

Those who only know of jalap ns a nauseous drug would le surprised nt the ornamental character of tho plant. The commercial portion—the drug— ia the dried root "The plant forms a network of slender underground stems, from which procucd roots, which, though slender mid threadlike at first, soon grow thickened and fleshy, and finally become turnip shaped. Fig. 2 shows the underground stenw und the roots. These roots vary in st*e, from that of a hazel nut up to that of a hen's egg, though occasionally they are as large a man's fust. When the roots are dug the larger ones are sliced Iwfor® drying, the smallest roots are dried entire, while those of intermediate siste are gashed or scoml in several places, to facilitate their drying.

ROOT.

This plant has a horticultural interest as climber, for greenhouses at the north and tn the open air at tho south. At 'be north it blooms too late to be of value out of door*. It also has a remote Agricultural interest to ibe southern states, as one of tho plants affording commercial products, tbo cultivation of which might prove profitable, —American Agriculturist.

Origin of Pratt Canning.

It fat a singular fact that we are indebted to Fompeii for the great industry of canning fruit Years ago, when the exeavatioos were Just beginning, a party of CiiH-inuatians found in what bad been the»pantry of bouse many jar* of preserved 6gs. One was opened and they were found to be fresh and gomt Investigations showed that the figs bad been put into jars la a bcated state, SB aperture left for tho steam to cscape, and then sealed with was.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS,

If Ton Want Information took in This Column. QMI you Inform me bow John Jacob Asfcor, the founder of the Astor fortune, began to accumulate? What is its present value? D.

John Jacob Astor was tn the fur business in New York. He formed a project for extending it from the northwestern lakes by means of a chain of trading posts to the Pacific, with a central station at the month of the Columbia. A depot at oae of tho Hawaiian islands was to supply China and India from the Pacific coast.

The project was only partially carried out Mr. Astor thought he saw greater opportunities for making money in real estate in the city of New York. He bought extensively, and by the rapid growth of the place secured a fine income. He died leaving $20,000,000.

The value of the real estate at the present day is unknown.. It has been estimated as high as $300,000,000. John Jacob Astor's great-grandson, William Waldorf Astor, is said to own the bulk of it Yet all this wealth could not keep him from exposing himself to the thrusts of literary critics. He has written a book.

Sinking Into the San.

Is it commonly supposed by scientists that the earth is gradually sinking into the sun* Trnrrn SKEKEK.

The accepted theory of light is that it is the undulation of what is called interstellar ether, a substance of almost infinite subtlety. It is supposed by bome scientists that this presents a minute resistance to the earth as it revolves round the sun. The earth being kept off from tho sun by the centrifugal force—that force which throws dirt from a revolving carriage wheel—is supposed to gradually revolve more slowly on account of this resisting medium. Revolving more slowly, the tbrow-ing-off force would be less, hence sorno scientists think that nfter myriads of years the earth will sink into the sun. It is all based on theory.

The Chief of Murderers.

Who killed the greatest proportion of people inliaUting the earth at the time of the murder? C. V.

Cain. Ho killed one-fourth of the inhabitants.

Tli© First Occan Steamer.

V.'lll you bo kind enough to inform me what steamer first crossed the Atlantic ocean? CITIZEN.'

Tho first steamers to cross the Atlantic or nriy occan were tho Great Western, from Bristol, England, and tho Sirius, from Cork. Jloth arrived at Now York June 17, 1838, huving toen out eighteen days.

Is It Proper to Write?

I have for some timo been receiving the attenllons'ofa young man of good standing. lie has one away, and I wish to know if it would be proper to write to him? DORA.

It is not proper for a young lady to write to a man until after lie has written to her. Should he write, the reply would depend upon tho pleasure of the lady and advice of those familiar with the case, especially parents.

Vice-Presidents Died in Office. Please give a correot list of vice-presidents of the United States who died in office. STUDENT.

George Clinton, who entered upon his term of ofllce March 4, 1809 Elbridge Gerry, 1813 William it. King, l&r*'} Henry Wilson, 1873 Thomas A. Hendricks, 1885.

Uses of Corn.

It is said that more corn goes Into spirits than Into anything else. Can you tell me If this statement is correct? PROHIBITIONIST.

Of tho corn raised in this country 180,000,000 bushels are used in human food, 624,000,000 for working animals, 20,000,000 for seed, 100,(XX),000 for the production of spirits and glucose, 65,000,000 for export and 900,000,000 for the food of meat-producing animals, making altogether a consumption of 1,889,000,(XX) bushels. Only about one-twentieth goes into spirits. The animals get tho bulk of it.

Cotton Spinning.

When did cotton cease to be spun by hand A. L. Cotton was spun by the old fashioned spinning wheel until 1776.

Highest Work* of Man.

Can you tell nw what is the highest object ever erected by man? R. O. N, Tho Toner of Baliel is supposed to have reached tho height of 6S0 feet, and the Temple of Belus, at Babylon, 060 feet. The Washington monument is 555 feet, nnd is tho highlit monument in the world, while tho highest spire is that of St. Peter's, at Rome, which is 518 feet.

Adam's Hlrthrtay.

There is a question, which I fear it will be difficult for you »o answer. Nevertheless I will ask it, and if yon do not find the authority on which to base an answer I shall excuse you. When was Adam bora?

According to net of the English parliament, passed to establish the date of Adam's birth, he was Itorn Oct. 38, 4004 B. C. It is not known that any portion of hLs family celebrates the day.

Ilcdlow's Island.

Can you give nw the correct spelling of the word Bed low in Dedlow or Bedloe's island. Also, whence It derived its name. A. V.

Isaac Bedlow was its owner ip tbe last half of the Seventeenth century. He died in 17G3 and his descendants quit the island. In 1738 it was used as a quarantine station. A few years later it passed into the hands of Archibald Kennedy, admiral of the British navy, who used it for a summer residence. In 1750 it was again a quarantine station, and a little later it was used as a military hospital by tbe British, which the Americans burned during the Revolutionary war. In 1794 the corporation ceded tho island to the state of New York, and in 1800 the state ceded it to the federal government. In 1814 Fort Wood was commenced tbcre and completed inlS40. Hicks, the pirate, was hanged there, and the cottonwood tree which served for a gallows was Mown down just before the pedestal for the statue of Liberty began to rise.

The Nearest Fixed Star.

0) What Is the nearest fixed star to the earth? 9 How tar Is it? (S) How Is tbe distance arrived at? (1) Tbe first fixed star whose distance was measured was a star (No. 81) In the constellation of the Swan. Its distance is so great that it is easier expressed by means of the velocitv of light than mile*. A beam of light starting from sixty-one Cygmas and traveling at the rate of 194,000 mites a second would reach the earth in aboat nine year*. 0) Since this measurement another of a nrarer star has been made. This is tbe star Alpha in the constellation of the Centaur. From thb star it would require light about three and a half years to reach the earth. (9 The distance is arrived at hy fixing what astronomers call its parallax In tbe line described by the earth in its orbit, the diameter »taken for Ntst line. The angle which this hose line ft r:n» with a tine drawn from each end to the star. Is measured Thus we have: two angles and aside of a triangle, which in trigonometry art sefflcteot to determine the other dements. %gr|

THE FUN THERE IS IN HAVING A GOAT FOR A PLAYMATE.

A Good Enigma—Wbat Was Fonnd in a Dead Han's Pocket—" Take tbe Sonny Side" How a Little Girl Earned

Money* Why don't all our girls wake up and show some of the talent displayed by the one who writes to Tbe Michigan Farmer the letter printed below? How well off they would be when they got to be women if they did. If there is one thing the girls of our time particularly need it is business sense and business training to earn their own living. The world is changing, and girls cannot expect their fathers and brothers to support them. They often have as much as they can do to take care of themselves these times. The girl who, when she becomes a woman has a good business or trade or profession by which she can earn her living, has what is better than a gold mine. Neither bad luck nor bad people can take it away from her. It is wonderful, too, how much business talent a girl finds she has when she sets her head to it. She sometimes shows more of it than her brothers, and astonishes her father with her shrewdness. Many women have made fortunes in business.

Here is little Violet's letter. Read it, girls, and then think if there is not a way for you, too, to be earning pocket money:

I want to tell the other girls how I saved $16. In the first place I had earned $3, and papa bought me a pig about four months old. It raised five pigs the next spring. Papa had one pig for wintering its mother and half what the other four brought me for fattening them in the falL I had the other half. I sold the old pig and her three little ones— they were about a week old—for $10. In all I received $18.50. Sixteen dollars I now have at interest. VIOLET.

NOT SO MUCH FUN AFTER ALL.

—Harper's Young People.

In a Dead Man's Pocket.

Stephen Allen Prieo was a man who was liked and looked up to by all who knew him. He was honest, kind and true, a warm friend and good neighbor. The boys and girls all liked him because he never forgot that he had been young once himself. He was never stiff and cross and bossy with them, but was their good friend. He became rich, was made mayor of New York city, and lived to be very old. He lost his life in a steamboat disaster. Those who found his dead body found a scrap of printed papet in his pocketbook. It was so worn with oft reading that they could scarcely make out the words, but this is what was upon the paper:

"SISTER ZILLAH."

A GLIMPSE OF LIFE IN A HIDEOUS LONDON SLUM.

An Angel In the Midst of an Assmblage of KTU Ones—Life Work of "Sister ZLLl&h" Her Strange Influence—Kefuge for the Homeless.

You pass through a hideous London slum tbe oil lamps flare and flicker in the wind, the hoarse hawkers shriek, the ragged children cry shrilly, and from tbe public houses come the confused babble of laughter and cursing and the rank wafts of acrid smoke. Blowxy women, draggled women, brazen women, drunken women pass you ugly male nightbirds scowl at you with savage eyes foul, mouthed young girls—mere children, alas!— salute you with impudent confidence and the night is full of rank odors and bleared lights. You enter a narrow alley, watching carefully the maneuvers of tbe skulking creatures who slouch around with humped shoulders and evil g^use,

A STRANGE ASSEMBLAGE.

A door opens and you are in the midst of a strange assemblage. A bevy of women gather around some long tables and watch you with dull curiosity. Here is one who is pinched with hunger her thin fingers are knotty at the joints, her hair is woefully scanty and she looks beaten, bloodless, sorrowful. Here is a bold creature who meets your look with a bard, brutal stare she has heard the chimes of midnight. Here is a specimen of the ordinary dirty, garrulous trollop so freely produced in the wilderness of London. Here is a mere female animal, a creature without soul, who sits callously glowering at vacancy. A coarse laugh sounds out harshly and then a quiet voice, with the tone of a mellow bell, *soars along the low room and instantly the disorder is stilled.

You move to the head of the room and you are greeted by a white haired woman dressed in black. Her eye is like steel, her lips are composed, her forehead is very placid and hor manners are the manners of a great lady. She is fit to move in any assembly in the world and her dignity would draw the eyes of men and women wherever she went. Beautiful she has been, and the exquisite remains of her fairness remind you of some splendid buildings grown gray with stress of years. When she speaks, you hear that indefinable accent which is attained only by those who live among ultra refined people from their earliest years. A lady this of the highest breeding. You feel as if you were in the presence of a queen, yet she puts you at ease instantly and falls into conversation with polished grace. Witty she is in a subtle way and her wit is. so strangely blended with pathos as to present a unique product of intellectual chemistry.

ONE WOMAN'S LIFEWORK.

She" knows the world, and can flash out an occasional speech worthy of the salon rather than of this dingy shed but tho ruling aspect of her face and the essential tones of her voice are those of one to whom the affairs of the world are of small moment She masters the evil assemblage in front of her, and the boldest slut that ever disgraced her sex is reverential toward the grave, kind lady, whose will dominates all. As you talk she tells you of her work. This refuge is open every night for the homeless, and her duty is to help those who are poor, to heal those who are sick, to raise with loving, merciful words and deeds those who are fallen. None are too base for this lovely, all embracing charity. Romances in plenty she can tell, and she does so with a soft, matter of fact' sweetness. Every form of human wretchedness is known to her, and her eyes are fixed day by day on sights of woo. Does sbe ever leave that fearful quarter? Never 1 Think of that, O discontented, puling folk! This lady, who was once beautiful, rich, courted, has given up all for the sake of working beneficently in the weary world, and sho passes her days in an appalling London slum. Lords and ladies of her own class seo her, but they remain only for a little time she stays at her post with still constancy, and bears the squalor, the ennui, the loathsomo sights and sounds, the recital of wringing records of misery. She is content even to forego her name, and her very identity has perished from the brilliant world that once knew her.

she says, with her courtly smile, and that is all Here is one who is an honor to London, to England, to the human race, toiling obscurely in a place where even men of the better class hardly dare venture.—London family Herald. _____________

Idlers Put to Shame. a'iit

An aged truckman bent under the weight of a big roll of carpet. His bale hook fell from his hand and bounded into the gutter out of reach. Twenty idle clerks and salesmen saw the old man's predicament and smiled at his look of bewilderment Not one ventured to help him. A fashionably dressed young woman came along, took in tbe situation at a glance, and, without looking to the right or left, stepped into the gutter, picked up the hook in her dainty, gloved fingers, and handed it to the man with a pleasant smile.

The idlers looked attach other and at the fair young woman. The old truckman, in a violent effort to express his thanks politely, lost his hat. It rolled into the gutter where the hook had been. This was almost too much for any woman, young or past young, but this New York girl was equal to the occasion. Into tbe gutter sbe tripped again and got the soiled hat. When she banded it to the truckman a happy smile was seen to play about her lipa.. "God bless ye, miss," the old man said, as the fair maiden turned her back on tbe idlers and went ou her way.—New York, Tribune.

Pigeons and Diphtheria.

At a recent meeting of the Anatomical and Pathological society of Brussels, M. Destrra called tbe attention of the members to tbe fact that cases of croup had been greatly and steadily on the increase in Brussels, so that croup MM! diphtheria wan now endemic there and be ventured to suggest there might be some connection between tbe keeping of pigeons and the occur rence of these diseases. He pointed out that Emmeriels, of Munich, had found the microbe of diphtheria tn these birds, and he htm—»f bad tnt& with three cases of croup in where pigeons were kept, in all of which cases signs of tbe disease bad appeared in the pigeons. M. Destree hoped that members would bear this matter in mind, in order it might be further elucidated.—

KEEPING WELL.

Exercise for Aged People—Hunger Core. Facbing Is Good. M. Buchardt, professor of hygienoattho Paris Faculty of Medicine, declares that aged people should bave exercise for the benefit of all the organs of nutrition and locomotion as well as young people. He says that tho tendency to rest brings on a gradual diminution of strength. Moderate exercise, particularly walking, is commended. It is well known that the disuse of any organ impairs its powers. Why then shouid not the aged lose the use of their members the sooner from giving way to an inclination focjts»if

The Hunger Cure.

Not favoring anything which may be fairly called starvation, it is unquestionably true that there is a manifest advantage, as a curative means, in reasonable fasting, at least to an extent to allow the system to rid itself of all obstructions. As when we bavo more labor on hand than can be possibly done today, some of it must remain till to-morrow, so when we take more food than can be digested in tho allotted time, or that so difficult of digestion that it cannot be disposed of in the usual time, there must be an accumulation, something which serves as an obstruction, an accumulation of materials which need to be disposed of, the whole system being more or less clogged.

Easting, therefore, under such circumstances, is among the most important of the remedial measures. When this is not done, nature, as the next best means to be employed, throws off such offending matter by vomiting or purging, thus avoiding other forms of disease, if as disease these friendly manifestations may be regarded. I well know that there are persons who believe that one must eat or soon die, but they forget that Dr. Tanner lived for forty days, taking only water, and that others have lived still longer, and that in high fevers and acuto diseases, when the appetite is entirely suspended, several weeks may pass while the patient is fasting.

The danger of starvation is not as great as is usually supposed by any means, since the body is composed mainly of tho elements of air and water, which, we suppose, may be appropriated in an emergency. Therefore, I am firm in the opinion that at the commencement of an acute disease, decided sickness may be averted, in nine cases out of ten, by reasonable fasting, at least so long as there is no appetite, with extra bathing, friction of the surface, quiet, rest, a good supply of air and sunlight—Dr. Hanaford.!

Pare Air.

The atmosphere is a most important factor in disease. It is always contaminated with dust containing minuto particles which cause putrefaction and fermentation. It is now asserted that tbeso cause all malarial and contagious diseases. Stagnation in the atmosphere acts as stagnation in water, which every one knows is unwholesome. Tho body requires a vast amount of air, and the poisons cast off by the human system are deadly. If breathed over and over again they aro deleterious to the strongest constitution. Defective sevvor pipes aro perhaps tho most serious cause of fevers. These should receive immediate attention as soon as bad odors are detected. Especially, let tho house be well and frequently aired and its impurities swept away, as the tide draws off the drainage of a city and carries it out to the ocean. ..

Cholera in Corea.

The deaths from cholera in Corea were reported for a while at 1.000 per day. Seoul, the chief city of the peninsula, contains less than 250,000 inhabitants within its walls. An important point to note is that the sanitary condition of tho capital has been for a long time horrible, in spite of excellent natural drainage. The sewers were once very good, although open on the streets but of late the houses have encroached on the thoroughfares, and have been recklessly built up to and even over the sewers, leaving only tho space nccessary for these conduits, which have become filthier and filthier. Tho lesson of this devastation of Seoul is the one that would be taught in any other city of the world under like circumstances and horrible und pitiable as was the mortality, insomuch as the dead lay long unburied, it cannot be called surprising

In a Biographical Dictionary, In a now dictionary of biography, containing 40,000 names, all the Rothschilds and Astors put together receive only as many lines as are accorded to Harriet Beccher Stowo. Cornelius Vanderbilt receives less attention than Paganini, and A. T. Stewart no more than Daniel Lambert, tho fat man. Even the three rich Ijencfactors—Girard, George Peabody and Sir Moses Monteflore—united, take less room than John Wesley or Nathaniel Hawthorne.—New York Herald.

Alter Diphtheria.

Diphtheria is a terrible disease, requiring the greatest medical skill to effect a complete cure. Even when its power is broken, It flings to the patient with great persistency, and often leaves the system poisoned and prostrated. Just here Hood's Harsaparllla does a vast amount of good, expelling impurities from the blood, giving it richnaw and vitality, while it renovates and strengthens the system.

Constitutional Catarrh.

No single disease has entailed more suflbiv Ing or hastened the breaking up of I lie constitution than Catarrh. The sense of smell, of taste, of sight,of hearing, the human vole®, the mind,—one or more, and sometimes all, yield to its destructive influence. The poison it distributes throughout, the system attacks every vital force, and breaks up tho most robust of constitutions.
