THE    EARTH'S    CURVATURE.
An lUustriititm of Its KITcot Upon the Viid- bilUy of Ohjeets.
The curvature of tho earth's surface oan nt)t be jierceived by the eye iu merely gazing upon it from an 'oleva- titiii; this is because the vision is not capable of the comparison of height, etc., necessary tt) peieeiA-e this curved surface. But compai-ison of the height of objects at v.arious distances avIU prove the fact of curvature plainly. For a statute mile the curv^ature is 6.!J9 inches; for a get)gi'aphie;il or nautical mile it is 7.962 inches. Its effect upon the visiliility of tibjects may bo thus illustrated. If a pane of glass is hokl against a globe, the objects wil^ touch ouly at one ptiint, the globe's surface coutinualh' falling away from tho gbiss. Suppose the ocean to lie calm and frozen, and a givat IcA^el sheet of glass laid upon it. At one mile from the tangent point the ocean falls nearly eight inches beltiw the glass, at threo miles sl.\ feet, at iiine'miles over fifty- feet, and .>^o on. The number of feet of depression is equal to tvv^o-thirds of the square of the nuinber of niilos for any observable distance. But in esti¬ mating the visibility of objects it inust be noted that tliis depression is partial¬ ly cancelled by the phenomena of re¬ fraction, Avhicli causes objects to^ap- pear higher than they woultl if there Avcre no almosphero. Careful measure¬ ments have shown that the error from refraction averages rather more than ouc-sevonth of that from curvature. Tho rule, therefore, commonly used for correction ol curvature autl rifractiou is : Stjuare the number of miles antl take four-sevenths of it for the correctitm in feet. Thus, if an ob¬ ject is visible at a tlistance of five miles we m:>y knoAV that its height is aliout fourteen and one-tiiirtl feet. Or if the height of the vi.siljlc object is known— say t)ne hundred feet—take one-fourth of tills, imilti^dy by seven, ami take the t<quarc root tif th.is protluct, which gives the distance of the t)l)ject, in this case a fraction over ih.irteon miles. The error frequently made in coniputatious of this kind is that they do ntit take intti consideration the elcvatiou of the observer as Avell as that of the object obscrvctl. A man swiniiiiiiig on the surface t)f llu- water can perceive a tower two hundred feet high and nine¬ teen miles away as a mere speck on the horizon; but if the man were elevated one hundred feot abtive the surf;'.ce of the Avater he coultl fully perceive a tower half tbe height of the other on a fhoriztin fully tweiity-six miles tlistant. Very wild stalomcnts are often inade about the vi!>ibility of objects at great distances. It is Avisest not to belicAe them until they haA'e been tested by observation and comparison Avith the a1)ove rule. Thus the assertion has been matle that tho olottric light on the jBoard tif Tratle builtliug iu Chicago, throe liundred feet above tho IcA'cl of Lake Michigan, i.s visilde eight}" inilcs distant. Acctirtling to tlie alitive rule an observing point to perceive the light at this distance shtmkl be seventeen hundred and twcut}-feet ahtivc the lake level. Wo know of no point so ele¬ vated Avithin oue hundretl miles of this city. Thereft>re Ave exercise our right of froe judgment to dt)ul>t whotlior the curvature tif the earlh is so groatl}- overcome by the brilliancy of this beauiiful circle of electric light.—C'Ai- cago Inter Ocean.
PREPARING    SEALSKINS.
Costly   I'riK'osse.s   ol  .Alaiiuiaflnre   ^VJiich' Seiil (iiirmfiit.-; lAixurif.s liiil<><^i1.
There  is a popular ntition   th.it  the sealskin as avc soe it at tho furrier's is just   <'>s it is   taken   off  the   animal. Ntithiiig, howcA'cr, could be mtire con¬ trary to fact.    FoAv skins are loss at¬ tractive than this at lii-st, as the fur is coiniilctcly covered and hidden by the dull gray-hrovvu and grizzled oA'cr-hair. This mask has thou t-i bo removed, ami this is  au  ojieration   requiring a Aery groat anifiiiut  of   patience   and  skill, Avith  a ooiisftpiont  increase  in  price. Tho uiihairiiig is efloctod  by Avarmth and moisture, which softens tho roots of the over-hair and  enables  it to be pulletl out, or by shaving the iuner .side very thin,   which  cuts off thti  roots of the hair, Avhit-h ])cn(;tratc dee])!}', and loaA-es   untouched   those   of   the   fur, Avhicb are very siiperhoial.    Whiciicvcr mothtid is onii)loyed tlic hair must be taken  off  uniformly  or  the   fur   Avill never lie smoothly,"but ahvays have a rumpled Itiok, which never can be cor¬ rected   by   any  suiisetnuMit  troatmont. This Avill explain  to stnno extent the cause of the high ])rice of sealskin jack¬ ets and cltiaks, and  also the cause of ihc different prices one hears of, as a gootl  many skins   are   more   or  less spoiled in the dressing. Aiuither cause, toti, is the quality of tho dye, and tho Avor^maiiship employed in its nse. The Jiquid color is put ou Avitli a brush, and the points of the standing: fur carefully covered, the skin is thou rolled iq) fur inside,   and  then,   after  a littic  time, hung  up  and  dried.    The dry dye is then   removed  and a further ctjtit  ap¬ plied,  drietl,  remoA'cd,  and  so  on till \;the requisite  shade is t.btaiued.    One or two of those coats ;irc laid on thick nntl i)rcs.-od  down  to tho  rotits of llic fur, making Avluit is called the grouiul. From eight to twelve coats are needed tcj produce a good color.    No AVtmder a fi'-st-cbiss  sealskin  is expensive.    It is just as true now as it ever was, but in these days of univer.s:d cheapness tme 's apt to forget, that if you want a real¬ ly gooil thing you must pay a gtiod price.—^// the Year Round.

A    DANGEROUS    DRUG.
Some of tlic Feculiarities of the Frenzy Pro- Uucetl by It.
At Trenton the boy came througli the train crying, vvitli a most truthful look¬ ing face aud piercing A^oice: "Fresh ham and tongue sandwiches! Hot fried oysters!" I had just dined Avith a friend Avho was married only two Aveeks ago aud only began keeping house last Tuc.'^day; consequently I Avas nearly starved. To appease my hunger I bought a box of fresh "hot fried oys¬ ters." I opened the box and as my fingers touched the cold dead mummy of the rare old Egyptian oyster on the upper tier an icy chill pierced mo to the heart. I went on Avith the excava¬ tion, hoAvcver, and ftiund the oyster older, sadder and colder as I Avent doAvn. I ate them all the same. Along SomcAAdiere in the oltl rod sandstone pe¬ riod I found a pocket of fossil crackers ami in the silurian strata I discovered a faded pickle that crumbled into dust upon exposure to tho air. I diil not get a chance to oat it, therefore, but I did got outside of the rest of tho box of fj-osli hot frictl oysters. In a few mo¬ ments the terrible ilrug began to take effect. I Avent back to the stoA'c, and carefully avoiding the eye of the brake- man, 1 stole all tlie coal I coub.l put in my pockets. I trietl to get aAvay Avilh a lantern, but it Avas too big; so I only sncakctl away Avith a torpedo th.at Avas fastened to the Avire guartl. I slapped a SAvcet littic clilkl who came back to get a drink of Avater, and Avlieu her mother ami the conductor came to me about it I lied out fd' it. I told the brakeman the lady sitting iu front of me Avas smtiking cigarettes and gtit her into no cutl f»f trouble. The gentleman silting beside me fell a.slocp and I liicd his hat out of llie Avindow, and when he Avoke np I told him a miltl oltl clergyman a few scats ahead of us had taken it, antl I stuck to it. I stole .a gum oA'orshoc bolonging to a lame boy, Avho hadn't enough monoy to reach Inwic and who had bocm hclpeil by the passengers. One peculiarity of the frenzy Avas that 1 didn't care tt) steal any thing A'alua- ble. I ptitketctl yestertlay's papers, discartlctl orange rinds .'iiitl some but¬ tons that I cut frtnn the upholstery of the scat. I am all right now, but one orroct f)f those fresh hot fried oysters still lingers with mc. I have lost all taste for reading any thing except "Ex¬ cavations of Is'incvt^h" ami "Pre-his- toric Man," and that sort of thing. Next time I pass through Trenton I am going to try a chicken sandwich, and then FU either rob a bank or learn something about tiie Creation.—Bur- dtlle,^ in Brooklyn Eagle.

When Halton, one of the officers of Charlemagne's household, Avcnt on an embassy tt) the Byzantine Court, ho Avas invited i>v- tho Greek Emperor to dine, and placotl by him iu the midst of his nobles. There Avas an est.ablishod law among t'?.c Greeks that no one at the Prince's table slitiuld turn over the body of any animal that Avas served up, but that they should eat of fhej^art that Avas uppermost. On this occasion a frosh-Avator lish Avas brought iqi, gar- nishoil Avith A:aritnis sauces, and the Amliassador, Avho knoAv ntilhing of the cu-toms of the country, unfortunately turned the lish over, upon which the courtiers, filled Avith intlignation, arose, and, .addressing tho Emjioror, said:
"Do not suffer yoiusolf, O, Emperor, to be treated with tli-^ivsjiect that Avas never shoAvii to auy of your ancestors. Command that this stranger, Avho has brokeu jour laAvs iu your A'cry pres¬ ence, be instantly put to death."
The Emperor answt'red, turning to Ilalton, and sighing:
"I can not refu.se tlie request of my Lortls, but ask of me any other boon but that of ytnir life, ami I Avill grant it."
Hal ton rcllected for a moment, and then saitl:
"I Avill only ask of you a small faA'or; grant, most gracious sovereign, that all thoso Avho saw me turn tho lish over may have their eyes ])ut out."
The Emperor, astonished at the strangeness of this request, A'OAvetl that he hatl uot seen it done, and had only prt>nouuced the Avoi'd of otliens.
Tho Empress also Avas porfectly posi¬ tive that she had seen nothing of it; antl the noldos oue after another made tho same declaration. The result Avas that as no one had seen the offense he could not be punished for it.—Omni¬ bus.

THE   VILLA    PREGNY.
fearon Atlolphe Roth.sehlltl'sT.,o%-ely Retreat on the Shores of Lake Geneva.
When Baion Adolphe, Avht) man-icd his ct)usiu of Vienna, had one of tho.se fits of mortal ennui Avhich seem like tho hereditary curse of thoir oi>ulonoe, he suddenly concoiA'cil a A'iolont desire to possess Villa Prcguy, a small domain situatetl ou the lt)\t:liost hillside of the slopes overlooking the Lake of Geneva, about tAA-'o iniles tlistant from the city, antl possessing every charm that nature and Swiss scenery can confer. He nan'OAvly, eagerly disputctl the price, but finding the owner lirm he etmsented to giA'c the sum required, for, as he re¬ marked, "Prognv has the one thing which, Avith all my money, I can not get, for I can not groAv trees six hun¬ dretl years old."
That Avas twenty years ago, and the unpretending liltle A'illa av:is at once SAvept aAv;vy antl a magnilicent building erected on the sitt; Avliere it stooil. It is square, something after tho style of the oltl French chateaux, antl its daz¬ zling Avhiteness prf)claims its recent origin as much as the absence of all antecedents or associations.

WATER    IN    WINTER.,
Why Pieces of Ice Shoultl Not Be Allowed to .Alolt In tho Trough.
A large proportion of the food of our animals is used to keep up the tempera¬ ture of the body to about one hundred degrees. Cold weather, damp barn¬ yards, cracks in the barn or sheds, want of bedding and exposure to storms, greatly increase the consump¬ tion of footl to no good purpose. Much more regard is now paid to the com¬ fort of our stock in these respects than formerly. We think, howcA'cr, many fail to realize the loss of food sustained by compelling animals to drink ice- cold water. Water as it comes fresh from the well has a temperature of about fifty-five degrees. When allowed to stand until frozen over and the ice then broken, .ami pieces of ice sulVered to remain in the water, the tempera¬ ture speedily falls to thirty-live de¬ grees. Experiments are reported which seem to show that it pays to ar- titicially warm the drinking Avater for milch cows. Be this as it may, no one can doubt that Avater at lifty-live de¬ grees is cold enough for health. The water that an animal drinks has to be raised to tho temperature of its body, say oue huntlred degrees. And, of course, it requires much more fuel in foot! to raise a pailful of water from thirty-five degrees to one humlrcil de¬ grees than a pailful of fresh Avater from hfty-five degrees to one hun¬ dred degi-et;s. If the heat required to warm the pailful of water twenty degrees was derived from hay or straw, or grain, the loss would not in many cases be soAorely felt. Ibit, as a maiter of fact, this heat is obtained from the consumption of fat and llesh, or butter ami clieese. This i.s ex];en- sive fuel. Wc arc well aw.are that it is not always ea.sy to furnish :uiimals water free from ioe. We till the trough with water, and the cows, and sheep, and horses do not drink as much as we expected, and tht« next morning there is a thick layer of ice upon the water. In such a case, break the ice in as large pieces as possible and pull Ihem out with a potato hook or rake. Do not leave tlumi to melt iu the water. Pump plenty of fresh water for the an¬ imals.
With horses there is littlo trouble, because they are accustomed to drink at onco if they need water. But cows and sheep may be very tliirsly, ami you may till tho trtmgh with water ami yet they will require considendjle lime be¬ fore they will drink. Sheep c.s])eci:illy seem to be very fond of running water as it comes fresh from tho spring or pump. In cases where a small trough conducts th<>. wattjr frfim the pump to the tubs or trouglis, while you art! pumping yt)u will see tho sheep drink with avidity from the run¬ ning water in the small trough, while they vvill scarcely touch tliat which has been standing for some hours in the watering trough. There is a great dif¬ ference in water, ami sheep know it just as Avell as we do.—American Agri- culturiat.

A    NEW    MUNCHAUSEN.
now He .Succeeded In Getting: RitI of Att Inqnisitive Old Woman.
When the St. Louis express from Pittsburgh arrived at Wheeling Junc¬ tion the other day, an oltl Avoman with nine assorted buntllcs and a baby came aboard. There was a vacant scat just opposite mine, and the Avoman appro¬ priated it.
A young man from Pittsburgh occu¬ pied the scat directly in front of the one taken by the ncAV arrival, and he kindly assisted her to place in the hat- rack such articles as that receptacle would hold.
This littic attention evitlentlj- made the woman think she had a claim ou the yonng man, for she soon leaned forward and asked:
•'Goin' far?"
"To Wheeling," I'cplicti the young man, craning his neck so as to face his interlocutor.
"I'm goin' thero, too. I'm from Siffin.    Wl'.ere might you bo from?'
"Left Pillsbnrgli this morning."
"Ah! I used to know some folks there.    Do you know the Dowlins?"
"No, madam, I don't live theiv."
"No, Where's A^our folks livin'?"
"In Tiuibuctot)."
There was a lt)ok on the young man's face that convinced me he was not telling the truth, but the oltl latly did not suspect it, and pursucil her in¬ quiries:
"Is that in Pcnnsylvany?"
"No, madam, it is in Africa."
"Africa! Where the nigncrs como from?"
"Yes, madam; I was a negro once."
At this the old lady's eyes almost started from her hcuf willi astonish¬ ment, as. gazing at tlie young man's blonde complexion, she ejaculated:
"But yon are white!"
"That is very true. I Avas soaked in a mixture of hot Avator and cocoanut milii for three weeks wlum a mere in¬ fant, and all the color taken out."
The oltl lady was speechless with as¬ tonishment, while the shameless wretch AVcnt on.
"That's the Av.ay thej- serA^c all Iho Princes of the Timbuctoo I'oyal family. You see my father is King of that coun¬ try."
"King!" exolaimetl the old lady.
"Yes, and I'm stutlying in this coun¬ try to prci)are myself lo succeed him on the throne.''
The oltl woman lotikcvl him steadily in the eye for a minute, but the scamp never llinchetL    She then asked:
"Ain't there cannibals in Afric:i?"
"Yes, indeed," replictl the youtiiful Munchausen.
"Ever see any?"
"See any? Why I'm one mj-sclf." And the wretch, distorting his features, assumed such a terrible look that the woman from Siffin instinctively drew back.
"You needn't bo frightenctl, mad¬ am," saitl he, assuming a milder look, "you are ])crfcctly safe, wc never eat any one oltior than tvvcnty-livc, unless diven to it by famine."
"And hev you rcely et a human bein'?"
"Many a time. At itiy father's table two fat girls are I'oastoil every day."
"Oh my!" gaspotl the old woman.
"And on Sundays wo usually cook three or four babies besides, as a spec¬ ial delicacy."
"Oh Loi-il save us!'' ejaculated the woman.
"Yes," proceeded the Prince of Timbuctoo, "I am very fontl of rtiast bab}-. Of course I can't get it often in this countiy, and that is the reason I always want to bite a piece out of every baby I see. I'm so hungry for a bite of baby now. Indeed I must havo it."
And he made a dive for the bab)- in the woman's arms, but she sprang from her seat ami Hew shrieking to the end of the car, while the Prince of Timbuctoo went into the smoking car to take a puff at a Wheeling stogy.— William 11. Sidler, in Titl-JJils.

WARRING    BIRDS.
Their   Diffitiiltle.s  AtUusted  by Jay.^ Who Acted the Part of Peace-.Alakeru.
A resident of Memphis, Mo., erected on his lawn a large bird-house, in¬ tended as the summer house of a Hock of martins. It was a three-story af¬ fair, and three varietif;s of birds inhab¬ ited it—martins, blue-birds and spar rows. The numbers were about equal. Tho mixture of breetls tliil not appear to cause discontent for a long ti'ue. Each bird nation gathoroil sticks and straw and other mattirial for nests, and harmony ]>rovaiIetl for week.s.
One tlay, however, this gentleman's family discovered that there was some¬ thing wrtmg with t!ie inhabitants of the airy house on tht! lawn. There was unusual commotion, a squalling, peck in Of and flult! ring which tlenotcd trouble in flic hitherio liajipy family. A close Avalfii brought the further tiis- covery thai the martins and blue-birtls had Joinetl forces and were making a mighty etVort to tlrivc tho sparrows off the premi.?<'S.
The sparrows battled ])hickily for their home, but were iu the end doomed to defeat and an ignominious flight.
Opiiosite the lawn bl a neighbor's yartl slt)t)d several ITrge oaks. A small colony of blue-jays had pre¬ empted homes here. Tlit; sparrows on being ftiroed from homes and nests tooirrcfuge iu lhe oaks. Their advent was ftillowed by birtl chatltsr, ami chirp, and stjuall, participated in by both sparrows antl jay.s. 'J'he noise attracted the family, and ntiw two houselitiltls were watching with inter¬ est the actions of the winged tribes.
Shortly the sparrows, .seemingly escorted"bv a numlmr of lhe jays, rts- turnetl to "the lawn and htiu.'^e. 'J'his was folltiwetl by a ctinveiititin t)f bird music, iu which the jays totik tho in-ominont part. P»y an;i by tho- botl- 1am t)f voices cea-^otl, and the jays did the tidking t)r chirping. They soon returned ItTthe oaks, lt;aviiig quiet a.nd peace on the lawn. The throe bird colonics workctl all summer without further jar or disagrticmenl.
