Experiments That I*rove the Existence oi a Microscopic Orgunlsm Cnllei tlie Nitrogen Ilacteriu and Throw Lifht Upon tlie Problem of tlto Growth of Plant*.

In the past thirty years various experiments have been made to prove that seeds and plants do not absorb nitrogen directly from the air but through what has been named nitrogen bacteria. Professor E. Breal has recently given in La Nature an account of these experiments /and also of similar investigations made by himself, from which the following interesting facts are gathered:

Boussingault proved, by planting seed in a soil devoid of nitrogen and analyzing the seeds and resulting plants, that no nitrogen was absorbed directly from the air. letter experimenters discovered that nitroged accumulates in cultivated soil through tLa action of bacteria which assimilate it from the air.

PEA PLANTS COMPARED.

Professor Breal has found that the roots of healthy leguminous plants, such as a pea, for Instance, are covered with numerous little tubercles. When one of these tubercles is crushed in a drop of water, and examined with the microscope, innumerable bacteria are discovered, and It is these bacteria which are so necessary to the proper nourishment of the plant.

To prove this experimentally, Professor Breal planted two peas in separate pots in an artificially prepared soil containing no nitrogen one was watered with pure water, the other with water containing the nitrogen bacteria. Pigs. 1 and 2 show the results obtained. The plant inoculated with bacteria (Pig. 1) attained a height of nearly Ave feet, produced a large number of perfect seeds, and its roots wero found to be covered with the characteristic tubercles. The condition of the other plant at the same age is best shown by Pig. 2, and no tubercles were found upon its roots.

The amount of nitrogen in the seed from which plant No. 1 was grown was ascertained by weighing a similar pea of equal weight, and the amount in the resulting plant was also ascertained. There was found an increase of tt.8 grains of nitrogen, which must necessarily have been absorbed from the air through the agency of the beneficent nitrogen bacteria—no small feat for these little microscopic organisms to accomplish. These very important investigations will aid in the solution of muny practical agricultural problems. It is well known to farmers, for instance, that a crop of clover plowed into the soil is in itself a most excellent fertilizer. This is now thought to be duo to the presence of the nitrogeu bacteria, which, whilo not directly enriching the soil themselves, increase the amount of available nitrogen present in it and aid the growing crops to assimilate it from the air.

Tho Albert Edward Nyfttiwi. To distinguish the southern Nyanza lake from the other two Nyanzus, Stanley has named it the Albert Edward Nyanza, It is not a very largo lake. Compared to tho Victoria, tho Tanganyika and the Nvassa, it is small, but its importance and interest lies in tho fact that it is tho receiver of ail the streams at tho extremity of the southwestern or left Nile basin, and discharges these waters by one river, tho Semliki, into tho Albert Nyanza, in like manner as Lake Victoria receives all streams from the extremity of the southeastern or right Nile l«isin, and poors these waters by the Victoria Nile into the Albert Nyanza. These two Niles, amalgamating in Lake Albert, leave this uuder the well known name of Whito Nilo.

Reformed Spelling.

So far, all attempts to introduce a reformation in spelling seem to have failed. Tho changes that are recommended by tho philological societies and approved by scholars are disregarded. Science says that Mr. Ellis' "Glossio" has boon before the public nearly twenty years. Dr. Hill's efforts for six years produced no permanent ofltect, it is doubtful if Mr. BelPs "World English" will fair better, and Hosea Bigelow's spelling is dropped by every one after they have wearied themselves over a few lines.

rhUooophleal Amusement.

People often amuse themselves by "balancing" articles, but perhaps not a few will be interested in knowing that in this simple manner tlie center of gravity of many bodies can be discovered just as exactly as by means of a geometrical calculation.

DETKRlll.\*IXCS TBS CJtNTRR OP GRAVITY. In caas of thin flat substances like a piece of cardboard or a sheet of tin plate, the center of gravity may be found by balancing the body in two different positions on a horizontal edge for instance, sliding, them near the edge of a table until they are ready to torn in cither direction, as shown In the cut

The center of gravity is then on the lino a b. Seeking, in & similar manner, a second position of equilibrium in which the line of contact is od for instance, the center of gravity must necessarily be on both these litter—that is, must be at the point of their intersection, or, mow accurately, a little below this point, in the Interior of the body, and at an «q«al distance from its two faces.

If the body be thicker, three positions of equilibrium must ta» fooud the center of gravity is then at the point of intersection of the three planes pawing vertically through the linos of contact when the body is in equilibrium.

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.

Weather Signs—The Rainbow—The Color of the Sky—Other Sipih Upon consulting London Notes and Queries (1856) we find the following chunks of weather wisdom:

A rainbow in the morning gives the shepherd warning that is, if the wind be easterly, because ii shows that the rata cloud it approaching the observer.

A rainbow at night is the shepherd's delight. This is also a good sign, provided the wind be westerly, as it shows that the rain clouds are passing away.

Evening red and next morning gray are certain signs of a beautiful day. When the glow worm lights her lamp, the atf is always damp. /./{V

If the cock goes crowing to bed, he'll certainly rise with a watery head. ViShen you see gossamer flying, be ye sure the air is drying.

When black Snails cross your path, black clouds much moisture hath. When the peacock loudly bawls, soon we'll have both rain and squalls.

When ducks are driving through the burn (brook), that night the weather takes a turn. If the moon shows like a silver shield, be not afraid to reap your field.

But if she rises haloed round, soon we'll tread on deluged ground. When rooks fly sportiug high in the air, it shows that windy storms are near.

If at the sun rising or setting the clouds appear of a lurid red color, extending nearly to the zenith, it is a sure sign of storms and gales of wind.—Now York Sun.

How Flies Walk.

The power by which flies and other insects are enabled to walk on ceilings, smooth pieces of wood and similar surfaces, without the gravity of their bodies appearing to offer any obstacle, may be explained by referring to the amusement which boys often enjoy with leather suckers. When the sucker is sufficiently wet to be used, attached to a string, one end of which is in the boy's hand, it is applied to the smooth surface of a stone so as to exclude the air, and the boy is able to pull up the stone by means of the string. This, it will be observed, is owing to the exclusion of the air between the leather sucker and the stone, or the formation pf a perfect vacuum. On tho same principle the feet of flies and other insects are provided with an apparatus which operates similarly. It is the operation of the same principle by which two pieces of iron or marble with smooth surfaces adhere to each other.

In 1853 a man named Sands exhibited himself walking on the ceiling, using the same process as that described in the reference to the boy's leather sucker. It appears that the exact mode by which he effected the exhaustion and alternate repletion of the air was through tho medium of platters attached to his feet, connected with secret tubes. Agreeably to the law of pneumatics, if the exhausted vacuum of the platter is equal to a space of twenty square inches, it will sustain an atmospheric column of at least ten pounds to the square inch, or a total of 200 pounds, which was more than equal to the weight of Mr. Sands' pendant body when holding by one foot. •.

Where New Yorkers Live.

Wealthy New Yorkers usually have country residences and spend but little time in the city. Jay Gould has a residence on Fifth avenue, but his home is at Irvington. Vanderbiit has a palace there, but his home is in Newport. Judge Hilton keeps up a town house, but his home is at Saratoga. Calvin 8. Brico resides there, but his home is in Ohio. Chauncey M. Depew probably,loves Peekskill more tha^n New York city. Vice President Morton has his name in the city directory, but his home is at Rhinebeck. J. Pierpont Morgan is nominally a citizen of the metropolis, but he lives most of the year near West Point. Ex-Senator Piatt resides at the Fifth Avenue hotel, but his home is in Tioga county. New York cannot even claim John Clafliu, as he lives in Brooklyn.

Length of Days.

In London, England, and Bremen, Prussia, tho longest day has sixteen and one-half hours. At Stockholm, Sweden, lit is eighteen and ono-half hours in length.' At Hamburg,, in Germany and Dantzic in Prussia the longest day has seventeen hours. At St. Petersburg, Russia, and Tobolsk, Siberia, the longest is nineteen hours and the shortest is five hours. At Tornea, Finland, June 21 brings a day nearly twenty-two hours long, and Christinas one less than three hours in length. At Wardbury, Norway, the longest day lasts from May 21 to July 22, without interruption and in Spitsbergen the longest day is three? and ono-half months. At St. Louis the longest day is somewhat less than fifteen hours and at Montreal, Canada, it is sixteen.

Pounds Sterling.

In England money is characterized by the word "sterling," because in the time of Richard Cceur do Lion .money coined in the east part of Germany became, on account of its purity, in especial request in England, and was called Easterling money, as all the inhabitants of that part of Germany were called Easterling& Soon after that time some of those people, who were skilled in coining, were sent for and went to London to bring tho coin to perfection. That was the foundation of the practice of designating English amounts "sterling."

Tlio Nickel Plate Railroad.

The "Nickel Plate" is the New York, Chicago and St. Louis railroad, organized and built in 1SS1 it runs from Buffalo to Chicago, paralleling the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern railroad. It got its name in derision. Some officer of the Michigan Southern spoke of it contemptuously as "this nickel plato concern the officers of the road heard of tho expression," saw that it would "go," and had thousands of advertising cards struck off, on which the words "Nickel Plate" appeared in large silver letters. The road has been absorbed by the Vanderbilt system.

flow Zola Works.

M. Zola describes his mode of working thus: "I ttm as regular as clockwork. Every morning I write four pages of manuscript, no more, no less. That makes about §00 words, and is all I can do in a day and do it welL As I take a year fear each of my novels, you see that I have plenty of time at that rate. Of course a large part ot my work has been done before I take up the pea, and what I write the first time goes to the printers with l\ew erasures. No, I never dictate, bat writ? every line of my books with my own hand."

Petroleum Brick#.

The French professor of chemistry, Do Mil lefieurs, recently exhibited before a meeting of Parisum scientists several bricks of petroleum which be has discovered how to soli »ifj by an original process. The petroleum bricks were hard enough to be handled without ineoaventenoe, yet soft enough to be cnt with a stout knife. They burned slowly wh*» touched with a lighted match. Miltelkturs says they are non-explosive and fmocpeosive.

"The folks in the world that drive the fastest are the Russians, I s'pose. Here is a Russian sledge, and just see tho horses go 1 See their ears and their eyes and their legs! that is the way' they drive—three abreast—and they rush over the snow, miles and miles, enough to take your breath away. "And this is what the Russian coachman says to his horses. If they are hot lazy and go fast, he calls out: •Go on, my doves! go on, pretty swallows 1 fly, my little pigeons 1 hold up, my cousin on the left! gee up, my little father on the right!' and he keeps cracking his long whip, and how they do gallop! "But if they are lazy and go slow, then he says: 'Go on, you wretched snail! hurry up, you slug! I'll roast you alive, you tortoise, you!' Uncle John says it's ever so funny to hear 'em. And they r|de just as fast as they drive."

A Blind Boy's Education.

Nothing is so dreadful as loss of sight, and few can resist its depressing influences. That a boy should overcome such a drawback, ana attain a compfete education, is almost a marvel. Golden Days tells of such a boy, named Arthur Elmer Hatch, who recently graduated from Bates college, in Maine.

He has been blind from childhood. His lessons were learned by the aid of his mother and his fellow students. His mother read his English studies to him until he had them firmly fixed in his memory, and his Latin and Greek he learned with the assistance of the other boys.

When his turn came to recite, instead of reading the text from tho book himself, the teacher would read a passage, and he vyould then translate and give its grammatical construction.

Geometry ho mastered by means of a cushion, upon which he outlined the propositions with pins and twine. ,*

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

Insomnia Successfully Treated by Means of tho Food Cure and Exercise. Dr. Eggleston expresses the opinion in The American Medical Association Journal that most students and women who are troubled with insomnia are dyspeptics. He has found it easy to treat such cases successfully without medicine. He simply instructs them to eat before going to bed, having put aside work entirely at least tm hour before. If they are not hungry, they should simply be instructed to eat and if they are hungry, they should eat whatever they want A glass of milk and a biscuit is sometimes all that can be taken at first, or a mashed potato buttered. In a short time the night appetite will grow, and the appetite will then need no particular directions. If possible, the night meal should be taken in another room than the sleeping apartment, and for men in the city it will be found advantageous, to go out to a restaurant. 't- idll

The idea of going out for something to eat, and having to wait a short time for it, will excite the appetite. Before eating, however, a bath should be taken, preferably cold or cool, which should be given with a sponge or stiff brush, and the body thproughly rubbed oft with a coarse towel afterward. The bath need not be more than five minutes induration. After the $athing and rubbing, or after eating, a moderate amount of exercise should be taken. For this a few minutes with Indian clubs or duinbbells is sufficient. Further than this, the patient should go to bed at the same hour every night, and rise at the same hour every morning. There is a popular superstition that grown people should not eat immediately before going to sleep, that it will give them indigestion or nightmare, or both. Dr. Eggleston cannot see why adults should be so very different in this respect from babies.

It should be added that Dr. Eggleston is by no means alone in his views as to the treatment of insomnia.

Chloroform Treatment of Pneumonia. Dr. Theo. Clemens reports in a German medical journal his experience in the treatment of pneumonia by means of chloroform Inhalations. During forty-two years' practice he has treated all cases of pneumonia, levere or mild, with chloroform inhalations, mid has not had a single fatal case. To the rhloroform he adds alcohol, saturates some cotton twisted into a ball, covers it with some loose dry cotton, and holds this to within an inch of the patient's mouth and nose. He thinks that the chloroform spirits are taken up by the blood, completely changing it iq, the lungs, and, by defibrinating, prevents its hepatization. ..

Hereditary Disease.

Df. H. C. Wood, of Philadelphia, is reported, in The Medical Record, as doubting whether there is such a thing as hereditary disease. It is not the disease, but the liability to disease, that is inherited in other words, the lack of power of resistance to external irritation. Consumption, for instance, is caused by the presence of an organism, the bacillus. This bacillus is certainly not inherited. Wo all breathe it, but not all become consumptive. Persons who have not sufficient powei' of resistance are affected by disease. These persons have inherited a weak constitution, or their powersof resistance have been weakened. This is all the heredity there is about it. I

Awash for the hair made of sage tea will frequently prevent it from falling out, and French brandy, in which sail is dissolved, is highly recommended for this purpose. Brush the hair often and regularly to keep it clean, soft and silky. Uufasten the hair before retiring for the night and brush it for five or ten minutes, then gather it into a loose braid, giving access to the air. This will prevent any unpleasant odor about the head and will keep the hair from breaking nnd becoming uneven. It is well to clip the straggling ends of the hair about once a month, to keep it of a somewhat uniform length. Too much washing is apt to render it harsh and dry.

•. What Doctors Say. Dr. Pollard finds glycerine in drachm doses most valuable in preventing stomach troubles in convalescence from debilitating diseases, and that it will often cut short an attack of indigestion.

Professor Bronardel recently reported in a French journal that six children died after having absorbed a mixture containing five grams of chlorate of potash, and believes that many children die from the effects of potash whose death is attributed to the disease for which the potash was prescribed.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

The Happy Time in Which to Teach Children the Small Courtesie* of Life. "Give a boy address and accomplishments and you give him the mastery of palaces and fortunes wherever he goes," wrote Emerson.

Many people seem to think that teaching children their small share of the courteous ways prized in their elders is unduly hampering childhood. They say let them be free and untrammeled and grow up like young colts. Harper's Bazar aptly answers this argument by suggesting that these people forget that colts have to be broken—a process more or less violent and unpleasant—and it is unkind, almost unmerciful, to let our children grow up wild and untrained in their manners, and then, suddenly awakening to the fact, to begin to prune and train them, and to fret at and perhaps punish the very faults that we have allowed to grow urireproved for years. "Bad behavior the laws cannot reach." But, says the journal already quoted, even a small child feels the approval or disapproval of elders, and the favor or disfavor of playmates. The social laws of his condition do reach him. All people are not lovers of childhood in the abstract. There must be something else attractive and charming in the child. We can easily understand this when we consider how annoyed even mothers are with the ill behaved children of their friends. They endure them and try to like them for friendship's sake. The school room, the piav ground, and afterward the world at large will be full enough of hard spots and unfeeling knocks tar the discipline of any child, even if be be so armed with pleasing manners as to soften and sometimes divert the blows, liters need be no fear that the home training in the courtesies of life will weaken the child or make him less courageous.

This training of the manners as well as the speech cannot begin too young, bat in both the results must come from quiet bat Incessant reiteration. A systematic, steady influence, teaching and example alone can produce good results, and those all nnconsdoosly to the child. With sach a course there is no reason why a child should not possess a gentle, respectful manna-, and ho familiar with all the esses and habits of good breeding thst a child has any need to know, and yet be happy, vigort»os, activo, full of life and frolic. Respectful answers, ready helpfulness, courteous bearing, cheerful attention and decent behavior at meals nitty prodnoe some primnessinaboyor girl, butsuch quality would at least be refreshing to those Who look, in vain for the mart part, for a trace of courtesy in the children of today.

Bskimo Docs.

During his wonderful sledge journey from Hudson bay to the Arctic ocean, Frederick Schwatka had abundant opportunity to learn the habits and the disposition of the Eskimo dog. He started out with sixty of them, using them to draw the sledges, and only nineteen were alive when he returned to Hudson bay. The others had died, mostly of starvation. He says: "They were through all this horrible time perfect respecters of their human allies, and the little children used to go among them and play with them by pelting them over the back with their toy whips: and yet the same dogs were starving, aud should one of them die his comrades would eat him. I notice this particularly, as some sensational writers have tried to make their readers believe that the Eskimo dogs are liable to become dangerous fellows, even to a powerfully built man, when simply hungry, and to be worse than wild

beasts when ravenous. Any onslaught of Eskimo dogs is unknown among the northern natives where I traveled. "It was pitiable in the extreme to see their sufferings as they so devotedly helped us along, many of them up till the very minute they had to be taken from the harness aud abandoned on the road. As they dropped out along the way, we harnessed ourselves in their places to the sledge traces, and it was thus we were not compelled to leave important part of our load.
