The old view that the quality of | suger beets depends ou the number of} developed leaves and the length of life of the plant ba- been confirmed, according to Friedrich Strohmer in a@ paper to the London Chemical Society. Sugar is produced in the leaves passiug through the leaf stems to the roots. The production of sugar d pends ov the amount of light and the form and po-rtiow of the leaves are of importance. Yellow light causes the greovest development of rovt-, blue or chemicpl rays the largest percenwege of sugar. Field experiments have proven that sugar production begina at an early stage io the leaves, but is greatest from the beginning of August tothe middle of September.

Some curious exper:ments have been reported by Mr. Howard Swan, a London linguiet and electriciav. Tuese have shown that a certain slow-moving phos- pborescence, which under suitable condi- tions appeare in the dark within the evebsell or nerves of the eve, is sensitive to sound end isthrown by it inte various movements which are evidently eubj-ct to definite jaws. If the sound is a word the phosphorescent film tends to form a geometric problem.

The scheme of Mr. Jobn Milve of scattering earth tremor observatories over the globe is being carried out. Recordiog apparatus is to be established at Toronto, t.srvard, Philadelphia, Victoria, B.

The qnestion of atmospheres upon the planets and satellites cf the solur system haa been investigated theoretically by Dr. Johnstone Stoney, of the Royal Dublin Society, who bas reached some most ite teresting results. He has proven mathematically that the outward motion of the molecules of any of the gases under the highest lunar temperatures would be sutlicient to overcome gravitation on the moon, which murt therefore be left entirely destitute of an atmosphere. The attrac- tion of the earth \s insufficient to imprison free hydrogen, and helium, though sup- plied in ema!! quantities by hot springs,

A farming community of sanitary babits at Saint Owen, a suburb of Paris, consists ef 98 families of 511 members, and is remarkable from the fact that no case of Consumption among them has been known within anybody’s memory. The people rarely mix with those of other sections. Infectious diseases are those due to the introduction into the body of some disease producing ageot, and much confusiou arises from the fact that all contagious diveases are infectious, while not all infectious diseases are contagious. Knowl- elge gained chiefly durmyg the last twenty years shows us that an essential condition of infection is that the disease-producing sgent shall be a living organism, capable of reprodection in the body of the infected individual, It matters not, says Dr. Geo. M. Sternberg, whether this living organism is large or *mal], whether it belungs to the animai or vegetable kingdom, whether

it is located in the skio as in ecabier, in the muscles, as in trichinoses, in the lymphatics as in erysipelas, in the solid viscera as in

amoebic abseess of the liver. in the intes- tinve as in cholera, or in the blood as in relapsing fever, the introduction and multiplication of the living infectious agent constitutes infection. A disease is contagious When it is transmitted from the sick to the well by personal com- munication or contact. Sma!l pox, scarlet fever, measles, diphtheria, influenza, etc., are infectious diseases which are con- tagious; while rsalaral fevers, typho'd fever, yel’ow fever, cholera, pneumonia, periouitir,etc., sr: infe tious diseases, which are not ordinarily contagious

WHY AND WHEREFORE.

I know not whence I came, | know not whither I go, But the fact stands clear That I am here In thie world of pleasure and woe, And ont of the mist and murk Another truth shines slain— It is in my power Each day and hour To add to its joy or its pain.

I know that the earth exists, It is nove of my business why. I cannot find out What it’s all about— I would but waste time to try, My life is a brief, briet thing, I am here for « little space, And while I stay 1 would like, if I may, To brighten and better the place.

The trouble, I think, with us all Is the Jack of high conceit: If each man thought He was sent to the spot To make it a bt more sweet, How soon we con!ld gladden the world, How eas'ly, right all wrong It nobody sisirked And eacii one worked To help his fellows along.

Cease wondering why you came ; Stop jooking for fau'ts and flaws ; Rise up today In your pride and say ; *“ [’m part of the first great cause. However full the world, There is room for an earnest man ; It had need of me Or I would not be— I am here to sirengthen the plan. ”

A woman canuot be too careful of her health. Her happiness as maid, wife and mother is dependent upon it. Every wo- man should realize that her general health depends upon her health in a womanly way. When a woman complains of being slug- g:*", dizzy, nervous and despondent the average doctor attributes these symptoms to heart trouble, of disorders of the liver, fle Is nou right once in ten times.

A rod of silver, which should melt al 1830 degrees F., wae solid until 2736 degrees was reached ; and palladium, which should melt at 2730 degreee, ‘vas still unaffected at 2960 degrees. It? is explained that the melting points of the metals are raised by the pressure due to contraction of the jacket of alumisum oxide on heating.

THE REAL TOLSIOI,

{From the Chap Book. ]

It bas often been said, especially in Russia, that Tolstoi, while preaching simplicity and poverty, lives in luxury himeelf. [his M. Tcherkoff (his secretary, now in London) declares to be a pistake. Tolstoi banded over his property to his wife many years ago, and she manages the house in the ordinary style of Russians of their class, being a strict disbeliever in her husband’s views. Tolstoi lives as a guest in his wife’s house, confines himself to his vegetarian diet, cleaus up his own room, which is carpetless and furnished with plain deal chairs and tables, and allows no servant to wait upon him. Having no farm of bis own, he helps his neighbors to plough the land and sow the eced, or elae he passes the time chopping fuel or making boots, yeserving six hours of the day for writing, | _ Tolstoi’s two eldest deushters help him in copying Cut his work and answering his

It is the discovery of an eminent and skillful physician, Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thi:ty years chief consulting physician to the Invyalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. During those $cars, with the assistance of a staff of able physicians, he has prescribed for many thousands of ailing women. He will gladly, without charge, answer letters from suffering wo- men, The ‘‘ Favorite Prescription’’ is for sale by all good medicine dealers and noth- ing else is ‘just as gocd.’’

Sister Eliza L. de Falcon, of Corpus Christi, Nueces Co., Tex.. writes: ‘This is to tell you that 1 have been ill for twenty-one years and was finally cured by your medicines, ‘Golden Med- ical Discovery’ and ‘ Favorite Prescription.’ I was completely cured after taking this medicine,”

His hooks, as every one knows, are not allowed tocirculate in Russia, but they ‘ate largely readin manuscript, and print- ed copies are continually being smuggled in. A lady who was discovered with @ copy in her possession was at once arrest- ed and lecked up. Tolstoi wrote to ‘he Minister of the Interior, asking why peo- ple who had his books should be pr.nished, while he, the author of the books, was allowed to go free. But the Minister made no reply, and it is doubtful whether the Russian Government wiliever dare to prosecute Tuletoi. They are anxious above cll things to avoid making @ martyr of him.
