SCIENCE AND PROGRESS.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION ABOUT ART, SCIENCE AND MECHANICS. VJL A New Vegetable Which Is Attracting Considerable) Attention In Rnrops and la

Till* Country—How 8 porta men, with the Aid of I'holography. Oct Itlg Came.

A novel vegetable, attracting of la to con •ideroble attention in Europe acd this ooun try, to depleted in tbo annexed cut, where the growing plant is shown in one figure and it* edible tuberous root in another.

HTAfMIYH, THJt KBW VKOBTABt-E. Stachys tuberifora, formerly Afllnis, is the new Uitanical name of this vegetable, which is a native of north Africa, Unit comes to us from Japan, where it is collul Chiro-gi. It is allied to the English ornamental Woundwort. and belongs to the same family as the coleus and the sweet scented herbs, lavender, thyme and mint, but differs from all of its relatives in that It yields edible tuberous roots.

These roots are formed of ring like ridges, giving them the appearance of a one horned caterpillar, as shown in the illustration. It is one to three inches long and one-half to three-fourths of an Inch In diameter. The ikln is thin, smooth and semi-transparent This peculiar vegetable require* no more ipecial treatment than do potatoes. Planted, whole tubers, in hills two feet apart, let yield at the rate of nearly 500 bushels to tho acre has boon reported. The plant, growing about one foot In height, has a round, bushy habit, having medium sized oval shaped leaves and many small pink blossoms. The illustration, drawn from nature, shows a plant two months old and beforp the flowers appear. When the tubers are pickled alone and property seasoned or mixed with small cucumberl onions, peppers and cauliflower pickles, they are excellent.

Cooked as "vegetable oysters" they aro delicious, or boiled, mashed and seasoned in .the way of tho egg plant they become a novol Jlsh, having a pleasant and somewhat spicy flavor, midway between the Jerusalem artichoke and boiled chestnuts.

A point in favor of stachys is that the roots may be kept as well as potatoes. In the gardening journals of Europe some discussion has occurred as to a popular namo for this vegetable, some suggesting stachys, or spirals, others crosnes, gr Chinese artichoke. American Garden, from which tho above was taken, thinks that stachys cannot bo Improved upon.

A Dcvloe for Secret Writing. A devico for socrot writing by moans of the typewriter is the subject of a recent invention. It requires two typewriters similarly adjusted. They are so constructed that the tvpes can be shifted from their formal position to that tl* operator, ttrikiflg the key in the usual way, roally wrifos other let* tors than those In his copy, forming a cipher copy. The receiver adjust* his machine in an opposite direction and writes from tho cipher copy, and his machine reconb tho letters of the original top/. The principle, says Mechanical Now*, is very simple and at once niggests tho possibility of applying the principle of tho combination lock to such a contrivance for all typo writers, so that each awner of a machine can set it to any comhluatioo, which only ho and his correspondent ihould know. This must be feasible and if the new invention is of any use at all Its usefulness woul^be much tncreued by such a

Of Interest to Sportsmen.

TN tendency of sportsmen to relate remarkable stories of their adventures and cm*ns is so well known that they often experience difficulty In Impressing their friends with their veracity.

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.

Humor Among the American Colonists. The Story Of "Betts Haddington.Tbe story of "Belts Haddington" is a* least a century old, and its recitation Tn an old woman's voice In tbe old fashioned New England dialect used to afford young people no end of amusement In the dvys of our grandmothers. It is thus given fci The Boston Transcript by one who says: 'This is tbe story, as for as 1 renumber it, that my aunt, used to repeat to me—a great deal depends upon the way It is told:"

BETTS HADD'XTON.

As I was sett'c cardin' tow. who should I see but Betts Hadd'ntoo a ridin* op to the boos* up to tbe door. 1 got up and shook the shires off my a proa, and says L, "Betts, liaow dew yen dew for many*s tbeday Betts and 1 hare carded tow together. Says 1, "Betts. dew come in and set tor." sap. 1. "Belts, dew eat And I went daoun "-tr and brought up doughnuts, some good par cake, secb as any body'd have, some cheese, sage cheese, some dier drink, made of gflj-go-over-the-ground. Robert-run-away, sas safras, cbeckerberry and each like, good to drink ia the spring o' the year to clear the blood. And my husband, be come in. and 1 gin him the wink, for we thought everything of Betts, and when she was married we gin her sech sights o' things.

We gin her a great keeler and a little keeler and we gin her three alrthen milk pans they were cracked, to be sure. but I biled In milk and they were Jest as good as new. and six alrthen plates and cups and saucers. Some of the handles were gone and they wan't all mates. And says "Kaow Betts, dew eat," and if she eat an aounce. she eat. a paound. "Naow," says she, "Miss Bishop, I must be goln', for I have got an antic hoss and anew chay, and 1 live at that great sea^ port place Pautucket." Antic hoss and new chay! 1 As for tbe boss, the crows wouldn't have picked him. He was wall eyed and had the spring halt, and never was sound. The chay never was new It was only second hand to begin with. As for Pautucket, It's no more a seaport than Seakonk Plain, not a bit. As for my husband, he sot beeps by Betts, and I gin him tbe wink and be says "Betts, dew come agin." $

Growth of Finger Nails.

It has been computed that the average growth of the finger noil to 1-32 of an inch per week, or a little more than an inch and a hnlf per year. The growth, however, depends to a great extent upon tbe rate of nutrition, and during periods of sickness or of abstinence it is retarded. It to understood to go on faster in summer than in winter, and differs for different fingers, being most rapid in tho middle finger and slowest in the thumb, according to one Investigator, and in the little finger according to another.

These same two authorities, Bertholdi and Benham, differ, too, with regard to the equality of growth on both hands, the former holding that tho nails of the right hand grow faster than those of the left, but the latter can perceive no difference between them. According to the rate of growth stated, the average time taken for each finger nail to grow Its full length is about four and a hnlf months, and at this rate a man of 70 would have renewed his nails 186 times. Taking tbe length of each nail at half an inch, ho would have grown 7 feet 0 inches of nail cm I-RDT finger, and on all his fingers and thumb* so aggregate length^of 77 feet 6 Inches.

The Great San Dlejgo Flume. The San Diogo flume is a stupendous affair, measuring about thirty miles in length. In the course of the flume there are "815 trestles, the longest being 1,700 feet in length, 85 foot high, and captaining one-quarter qf a fbiU)i(n feet of lumber. Another fcr^stlo is of the •same haight, and 1,300 feet long, the main timbers used in both of these being 10 by 10 and 8 by 8, being put together on the ground and raised to their position by horse power. Tbo number of tunnels in the course of the fium« is eight, tbo longest of which is 2,100 foet, the tunnels being in siae 0 by 0 feet, with convex shaped roofing qach mile of the flume required an average of one-fourth of a million feet of lumber for its construction, and the redwood used entirely tn the box is two inches in thickness throughout

Novelties tn Stockings.

ATOffriety of new shades bas:been brought out io open worked rllk stockings—metal gray, vieux rose and brick red amonfc the number. A kind of stocking which has a largo sale in France has the fancy open work carried up to the top, and is quite transparent. There are four different patterns in thesa There are a few kinds of stockings, which are generally useful and meet tbe wnnts of thousands. An open work Lisle thread, for example, easily mistaken for silk, and a fourth of the price Balbriggans, which will stand any amount of wear and tear, nnd can be had In openwork and the ribbed balbrtggan and silk, also of a durable class. All these are of English make, and superior, both in appearance and durability, to tbe German .goods.

The D«d of Justice.

The "bed of Justice" (French lit de Justice) was properly the seat occupied by tbe French king when he attended the deliberations of his "pavement." It also means the session itself, or any arbitrary edict. As tbe members of the "parlenient" derived their power from the king, when the king himself was preeent their power returned to the fountain bead, and tho king was arbitrary. What he then proposed oould not be controverted, and of course bad the force of law. The last "lit da Justice" was held by Louis XVI in 1787.

Tbe elephant, mighty and Imposing as it to. when left at peace in its native forests fa gentle, inoffensive, almost timid creator®, content to browse indolently upon the juicy leaves and grasses which grow so luxuriantly all around him—at. peace with other animals and ready to By from all contact with man. It is only when wounded that be becomes so terrific from his great size and strength, and the fury with which he .singles out and tramples down tbe man who has dared to attack him.

ELEPHANTS AT PEACE IH NATIVE FORESTS.

Elephants are found In Africa, the continent of India and some of the East Indian islands, but Ceylon may truly be called the home of this lordly animaL In that Island they still abound, though their numbers have of late years leen much reduced. Tho opening up of the mountain forests for the cultivation of coffee has forced the animals to retire to the low country, where again they have been followed by large parties of Europeans bent on their destruction. Indeed, had the elephants of (Jeylon been provided with tusks, they would long since have been killed for the sake of tho ivory, but it to a curious fact that while in Africa and India many elephants of both sexes have tusks, in Ceylon not one in a hundred has these valuable appendages, and these are exclusively males.

A Remarkable Clock. 11

The most remarkable clock In America, if wo consider the place in which It was built, Is the one which was mode by a miner in the Halienl»eok colliery at Wilkesbarro, Pa. This clock was made out of bits of wood and Iron, nnd with the roughest tools that can be imagined. It was made nearly half a mile under ground, and it occupied tho maker nearly nine years before he could say it was rlone. Tho clock is nine feet high, and there are sixty-three figures, which move by machinery. There are only twenty-two moving figures ift the Strassburg clock. On the front of the Wilkesbarre clock—the one we are speaking of—there are three shelves, or balconies.

Along tbe lower balcony a mounted gen oral leads a file of Continental soldiers. Tbe liberty bell rings, and the sentinel salutes the procession. A door in the upper balcony opens and shows Molly Pitcher, who fires h«historic cannon, the smoke of which to blown away from the Interior of the clock by a fan. Then the portraits of the first twenty presidents of the United States pass along in a kind of panorama, the Declaration of Independence being held aloft by Thomas Jefferson. On another of the balconies, tbe twelve apostles go by, Satan comes ofct, and tbe cook crows for tho benefit of Peter. When Christ appears a figure of Justice raises i\ pair of scales, while a figure of Death tolls the minutes upon a belL *ri

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

Many So Called "Weak Bearte" Are DM Merely to Dyspepsia. Tight Lacing, Bto. A weak heart insists upon putting itself in evidence at all sorts of inconvenient and convenient times. If its possessor finds himself rather late for tbe morning train and makes a "spurt" to recover lost time, tiv» exertion Is n-oially followed by such a bad quarter of fen hour that he resolves ratber to lose a dosen trains In future than to risk temporary •nffocation or permanent syncope again. The practical evils associated witb a weak heart are innumerable and readily suggest themselves to those who have so unsatisfactory a pumping apparatus.

But, according to The Hospital, weak hearts are by no means so common as to often supposed. Many a man who thinks be has got one is merely dyspeptic many a woman owes her symptoms to tight lacing or Insufficient feeding. If the dyspepsia be cured, or the tight lacing be dispensed with, the symptoms of heart weakness will disappear. Even when the heart to genuinely "weak," tbe weakness is not always due to ipecial disease of that organ. It may be only part of a general weakness of the whole system, which to easily curable. The late Sir Robert Christison, one of tbe most eminent of British physicians, used to smile at certain persons who were always complaining of Weak hearts. "Gentlemen," ne would say to his students when lecturing on digitalis, "gentlemen, tbe best tonic for a weak heart to a good bride walk." Not a doubt of it.'

The majority of weak, flabby hearts ata weak and flabby because every other muscle in the body to weak and flabby, and this general weakness and flabbiness to due to want of vigorous use. Exercise of tbe legs and back and arms gives additional and much needed exercise to the heart, and the heart grows strong by vigorous exercise exactly as every other muscular organ does, for the heart to a muscle, tf a man has no organic disease of the heart, no enlargement, and no functional disorder, plenty of brisk walking, with occasional running, will soon dispel his breathlossness and heart weakness, other things being equal The muscular Inactivity pf the modern town man to tbe parent of more ill health than any other single cause .whatever. ... .s

The Sanitary Era claims tbat cases of infection that could be accounted for in no other way have been explained by tbe fingers as a vehicle. In handling money, especially of paper, door knobs, banisters, car stops and a hundred things that every one must frequently touch, there are chancee innumerable of picking up germs of typhoid, scarlatina, diphtheria, smallpox, etc. Yet some persons actually put such things in their mouths if not too large. Before eating, or touching that which to to be eaten, the hands should be immediately and scrupulously washed. We hear much about general cleanliness as "next to godliness." ft may be added that here, in particular, it to ata ahead of health and safety.
