Scientific MisecHany.
New Uses ror aN Otp Matertat —Peat, used for fuel from the earliest times and long known to be of great value as a fer- tilizer, now finds so many other applica- tions that its preparation has lately devel- oped into quite an industry. Peat powder is serviceable not only about stables but. elsewhere, on account of its absorbent and somewhat antiseptic properties and low \cost. A few years ago a French surgeon introduced this powder, treated with anti- septic solutions and contained in a cloth The idea, Said to be a very old one among the work- jing people of some places, was improved ‘upon by avother medical man of Paris, Dr.

Taliyrand’s Audacity.
A CONTEMPORARY'S ANECDOTE OF THE FAMOUS DIPLOMAT.
M. de Beugnot, a contemporary of Tally- rand’s and superintendent of police at. the time of the Prussian occupation of Paris, relates the following anecdote of Tallyrand, an incident in which he himself played no inconspicuous part :
*‘M. de Talleyrand,” says M. de Beug- not, ‘‘on hearing that the Prussian army

‘crowded these out of hospitals, though the! prevent the threatened outrage.
} peat applications are coming into use and!
gaining in favor among veterinary surgeons, | Dr. Redon’s wadding has yielded important ‘duce woven fabrics, so that peat is now made into mattresses, coverings, carpets, etc, which are esteemed on account of their power of absorption.
Non-Insunious Biackrnc.—A patented shoe blacking, which contains no acid, is made in Germany by dissolving casein in a i sulution of borax or soda and adding resin- jate of iron, vesides the usual bone-black, | grease and sugar. A brilliant luster is im- | parted by the casein, andthe resinate of |iron gives a deep black color.
***Shall I say,’ said 1, ‘that the king will | have himself carried to the bmdge and be blown up with it ?”
**Not precisely; people will not believe ! us quite 80 heroic; but say something strong —-very strong.’
“Off I went to discover the marshal, who was easily to be found, in a certain gambl- ing huuse in the Palsis Royal. Though by no means delighted at being disturbed at his only amusement, the marshal, on being assured that the name of the bridge was to be altered, gave the necessary orders for | stopping its destruction.
**When I returned and gave an account of my mission, M. de Tallyrand said good- humoredly :
A writer on mosquito bites declares that common soap is as effective a remedy as ammonia, chloroform, or any of the many, articles recommended. The lather is aliow- | ed to dry over the affected part, when all; burning and pain soon disappear.
A sugar 15 times sweeter than cane sugar and 20 times sweeter than beet sugar is re-: ported by aGerman chemist from cotton ‘seed meal. 1t cannot be sold to compete with the ordinary article.
Tue Mrcroscoric Funer.—The term bacteria or microbe, states Prof. Samuel Bell, refers to particles of matter, micros- copic in size, which belong to the vegetable kingdom where they are known as fungi. All these different organisms have become ‘familiar under the generic term bacteria, which is a very unfortunate application as it really applies to only a single class of : i. - Cohn calls them = schizomycetes, and makes these classtications: 1 Spiro-* bucteria (microbes, or micrococci), which are the simplest of the fungi, and appear as orgavisms of spherical form, which multiply by fission, a single cucus forming two, these two producing fourand so on. They are seen singly in pairs or fours, or as clusters or chains of hundreds. They are very active, and are almvust omnipresent, abound- ‘ing wherever fermentation or decay is in progress. Not all of these germs are the cause of disease, but certain species are /always associated with diseased conditions. 2. Bacteria-termo (or bacteris), which are! ‘slightly elongated, and inasmuch as they multiply by division, frequently appear coupled together, linked in pairs and chains, They are generally found in putre- fying infusions. 3. Desmobacteria (or baciili) rod-like organisms, occurring of } various lengths and thicknesses, Inu a alide ‘of the baccillus of tuberculosis, or anthrax may be noticed at mrervals dots which re- present the spores from which, as the rods break up, future bacilli are developed. 4. Spiro-bacteria, including the spirilla and ihe spirochetal, the former having short open spirals, and the latter long and closely wound spirals. They multiply by spores, but little is yet known of their life-history. They are often found in drinking water, The various forms of bacteria grow only in congenial soil, the cholera bacillus, for instance, failing to multiply in the stomach ‘or the blood, but developing with wonder- ful rapidity on gaining access to the intes-
A material closely imitating malachite is made by precipitating a solution of cupric sulphate by potassium or sodium carbonate. When the precipitate has settled and cohered, it is dried with gentle heat, and may then be cut and given a boautiful polish.
Gratirrine A Piant.—It is odd to think of plants as s-eiug, but Mrs. Robert King de- seribes an experience in India that she re- gaids as confirming her husband’s theory that creeping p'ants have some faculty akia to sight. Mr. King was seated with one foot agaipst a pillar, when a kiud of convolvulus grow ng near was seen to turn toward bis leg, which was then kept motionless until at the endof an hour, the tendrils bad laid them. selves over it. He then went to breakfast and on returning found that the plant had turned away in disgust. A pole was procured and placed against the pillar about a foot from the nearest sprays of convoivulus, and in ten minutes they had begun to curve to- ward it, and in a few hours the tendrils had twisted quite around it, The pole was on the side away from the light, and the obser- vers find it difficult to account for the phen- emepon excep’ by assumiog that the pliant ‘could see the pole.
INFLUENZA AND WratHer.—In a study of the London records of infinenzs and the weather from 1845 to 1899, Sir Arthur Mitchell and Dr. Buchan have found the disease to belong chiefly to the winter season, but to be connected with unseasonably warm weather rather than with unsual'y great cold. In no case has extreme cold during an epi- demic been attended with an increase of the death rate. Uther diseases which have prevailed most extensively Jn ing epidemics of influenza are diseases of the breathing orgsns, consumption, disvar:« of the ciicule- tory system, rheumatism, ati diseases of the nervous system. At these seasons there have been less than the average of deaths from diarrhvea and dysentery, liver disease, measies, scarlet fever, typhoid fever and erysipelas.

**Well, mow I think that we may profit by your idea of this morning. You re- member the king threatened to be carried to the bridge, and was prepared to be blown up with it. It will make a good newspaper article..”
