BLUE tiLASS. j lafcnble Information JPIeasowton's BAok--The Effects of the tJtemkwl Bays on Animal and Vegetable JJWe. Maj. Gen. Pleasonton has just pub­ lished in book-form a number of address­ es, memo ire, etc., written and delivered bv him at various times, on the influence q| the blue rajs of the sunlight and the blue oolor of the eky in developing ani­ mal and vegetable life, arresting disease, and restoring life in acute and chronic disorders to human and domestic animals: Ihiring the summer of 1871, says Gen. Pleasonton, a professional gardener in Massachusetts (near Boston), who had been trying for some time to protect his young plants from minute insects wliioh fed upon them, after numerous experi­ ments, all of which failed, sncceeded with the blue ray. He made a small tri­ angular frame, oovered it with blue gauze, prepared the ground and sowed the seed, covering a portion of the ground with the frame and gauze, leaving the other part exposed to the attacks of the insects. The plants outside the frame were all eaten as soon as they gemiinat- *fd; those under it escaped entirely. Gen. Pleasonton's explanation of the phenomenon is that the sunlight, nega­ tively electrified in passing through the meshes of the blue gauze, which is posi­ tively electrified, excites an electro-mag­ netic current sufficiently strong to destroy the feeble vitality of the eggs or of the insects themselves, which are in the soil with the seed, leaving the seed to germ­ inate rapidly under its influence. A lady residing in Philadelphia also informed the General that, having some choice plants in pots in her sitting-room which were drooping, she threw over them a common blue gauze veil, such as ladies wear, and exposed them to the sunlight, and in a short time they were fully restored to health and vigor. The General also says on the insect question that, having introduced blue glass into the windows of one of the serv­ ants' sleeping-rooms, it was noticed that large numbers of flies which had pre­ viously infested them were soon found dead on the inside sills of the windows. A gentleman in West Philadelphia had a large lemon-tree, which he prized highly. He placed it in his hall nea the vestibule door, the side-lights o which were of glass of different colors blue and violet predominating. The sunlight passing through these side lights fell upon a portion of the branches of the lemon-tree, and great vigor was imparted to the vitality of these branches, which were filled with fine fruit, while other branches which did not reoeive the light from the blue and violet panes were small and without fruit. The early vegetables used in the Gen­ eral's family are for the most part started in pots under blue and plain glass, then transplanted into proper soil, and are ready for use several weeks in advance cjf the market Thus he has used corn early as July 12, which does not or- larily mature until Aug. 10. During the latter part of 1871, Com­ modore Goldsborough learned of Gen. Pleasonton's experiments and proceeded to imitate them at Mound City, HI., where he was then stationed. The first trial was made by the sur­ geon, who had every alternate pane of uncolored glass removed from each of two windows in his parlor, and substi­ tuted for them corresponding panes of blue glass. A number of plants and vines of many varieties, potted, were properly placed in the room, and in a short time began to manifest the effects of the remarkable - influence to which they had been subjected. Their growth was rapid, and they increased in the length of their branches from one inch aiid a half to three inches, according to tkeir species, every twenty-four hours. * The second experiment was made on tie development of the newly-liatclied chickens of two broods of the same variety hatched on the same day. One of the coops was partly covered with blue and plain glass ; the other coop was a common one. The chickens were fed at the same time, with equal quantities of the same feed. Those under the blue glass soon began to display the effects of the stimulating influence of the blue and sun light by thei* daily almost visible growth and increase of activity, far ex­ ceeding the development of the chickens' of the other brood. Early in 1872 the wife of one of the gentlemen on the station gave birth pre­ maturely to a child weighing only three and a half pounds. It was very feeble, possessing but little vitality. The win­ dows of the room in which it was bo: and reared were draped with blue c tains, through which and the plain g windows the sunlight entered the room. The lacteal system of the mother was greatly excited and secreted an excessive quantity of milk, while at the same time the child's appetite was increased to such an extent that the mother sometimes found it difficult to satisfy its hunger. The <jhild grew rapidly, and four months after its birth weighed twenty-two pounds, being at the rate of four and five-eighths pounds per month. Gen. Pleasonton proceeds to relate the following extraordinary circumstances : At the close of the late civil war he bought a couple of mules which had been in the military service. One of them was completely deaf, his hearing having been destroyed by the noise of heavy firing. Two or three years after tire General got him the animal was seized with so violent acute rheumatism that he could not walk. He got a great deal better of it, but his deafness con­ tinued until the spring of 1874, when he recovered entirely from both deafness and rheumatism. Over each of the doors of the stable to which he had been moved waS a transom with panes of blue and colorless glass. The stall of this mule was before a door with such a transom over it, and the rising sun cast his light through the transom on to the neck and back of the head of this mule. In the afternoon he threw his light again upon the head and neck of this mule through the transom of a side door. The effect . of the light upon the animal was the cure of his rheumatism and the removal of his deafness ; and he is now as healthy and hearty a mule as can be seen any­ where. The removal of the deafness was produced by an electro-magnetic current evolved by the two lights upon his audi­ tory nt rves and exciting them to healthy action. THERE are only about fifty Chinamen at Bt »wer Falls, Pa., now. These ajre all engaged in the cutlery works. The others who were there completed their labor Contracts, and have gone elsewhere in search of employment. Singular Instances of Moral Sense in a Horse. [From the Atlantic Monthly.] fHm a horse who is now not less than 41 years old, and it is possible that he is a year or two older; for thirty-eight years ago he was broken to use. He is at pres­ ent on the retired list, only occasionally being called upon to lend a helping shoulder to his younger colleague; but his intellect is as fresh and as full of ex­ pedients as ever. No horse ever knew better how to save himself, to spare effort and prolong his powers; no one was ever so cunning to slip his halter, open the feed-box aud supply the phosphates, the necessity of which to him he knew as well as any "scientist." I have seen him, through a crack in a board shanty, used while the stable was building, lift and lay aside with his teeth six boxes which were piled atop of one another, until he found the oats at the bottom. Then, when my head appeared at the window, he instantly gave up his leisure­ ly, luxurious munchmg of the grain, opened his jaws to their fullest extent, thrust his muzzle deep into the box, and gravely walked back to his stall with at least a quart of oats in his mouth. This horse had a playful habit of snapping at my arm when he was harnessed for a drive. (I always talk to a horse before starting, as a matter of commen polite­ ness.) Of course I never flinched, and his teeth often grazed my sleeve as he struck them together. One day, more than a dozen years ago, he was in rather reckless spirits, and snapped a little too vigorously, catching my arm actually in his jaws. I scarcely felt the bite, but I was very much surprised. The horse, however, showed such unmistaka­ ble signs of regret and distress that I simply said, " Never do that again!" And he never did ! From that moment he gave up the habit of years ; he laid back his ears or feigned anger in other ways, but he never again made believe to bite. This, certainly, goes far be­ yond the temporary sorrow for an unin­ tentional injury which may be referred to an animal's affection. What else is, conscience than knowledge of wrong made permanent by a memory which forbids the repetition of the wrong ? The same horse once revealed to me the lat­ ter quality in a surprising way. On telling the story privately, I find that it is sometimes incredulously received; yet I am sure that no one who cherishes the proper respect for animals will refuse it credence. In the company of a friend I was driving along a country road in a light, open buggy. I paid no attention to the horse, for he could turn, back, or execute any other maneuver in harness as well withottt as with a driver. Halt­ ing at a house where my friend wished to call, I waited for him outside. Pres­ ently the horse looked back at me, twist­ ing his body between the thills in a singular fashion. I perceived that he had some communication to make, and said, "What is the matter now, Ben?" Thereupon, by twisting a little more, lie managed to hold up his right hind foot, and I saw that the shoe had been lost. " That's right," said I; " you shall have a new shoe as soon as we get to the vil­ lage." He set down his foot, and for a moment seemed satisfied. Then the same turning of the head and twisting of the body were repeated. " What, Ben ! is anything else the matter?" I asked. He now' lifted up the left hind foot, which was still shod. I was quite at a loss to understand him, and remained silent. He looked back at me out of the corner of his eye, and evidently saw that I was puzzled, whereupon he sat down his foot and seemed to think. Almost immediately he lifted it up and shook it vigorously. The loose shoe rattled. There was a positive process of reason­ ing in this act, and it is too simple and clear to be interpreted .in any other way. The Boy and the Panther. The Colusa (CaL) Sun tells the fol­ lowing story : "Last Saturday Master John Williams, aged 13, was ont hunting near home, on Elk creek, when he ran across a panther and gave him the bene­ fit of the contents of his rifle. The panther made off, and the young man loaded up ugain and gave him chase, getting in another shot on him. This time, however, the panther got out of his sight, but he could see from the blood that he had been bit. He went home and dreamed all night, of course, of fighting panthers with a grizzly or two thrown in to make it interesting. Next morning, bright and early, he gathered his gun, determined on finding that panther. He got on the blood, which he traced into a hollow log. He fired into the log, and then got an ax and cut the panther out, finding him still alive, but he finished him up and dragged his trophy in triumph home. An inspection showed that both balls of the previous evening had gone through the panther's lungs. He was an im­ mense fellow, measuring seven feet from tip to tip." Doctors Disagree. Chicago is suffering severely from scarlet fever and diphtheria. At a meet­ ing of physicians to consider the epi­ demic and its proper treatment a resolu­ tion was offered, the purport of which was that no medicines which could be administered would prevent diphtheria, and that the continued administration of them for any great length of time would be injurious. Dr. Beebee declares that this was aimed at his recommendation of sulpho-carbolate of soda, which, he holds, will destroy the germs of diphtheria, the blood and tissues being disinfected. He t.liinkn that the remedy has fulfilled all expectations ; and some of his brethren, it appears, think otherwise. Who shall decide when even Chicago doctors dis­ agree? The Plague of Mothers-i n-Law. The Coroner of Chicago, in an annual report, says that of fifty-five suicides in tliat city within a year only four were victims of love. He alludes to one of these as a man who " blew out what lit­ tle brains he had on account of the tor­ tures to which he was subjected by his mother-in-law." The Coroner also says : "Mothers-in-law have always been a great power of mischief to the world, and, alas, the plague is so universal and enduring that we must despair of ever seeing it overcome. The miseries caused by mothers-in-law are eternal, even as mothers-in-law themselves are immortal." RUSSIA IS TAPED. Hot by the Turks, but Peaceably by AMT> \ ^ lean Manufacturers. « , [From the New York Tribune.] 11 will be a long time yet before the Americans know all that is to be known about the curious eyes which studied them and their institutions and arts dur­ ing the months Of the Philadelphia Ex­ hibition, or before they realize in full how much impressed foreigners were by what they saw. Whatever were the j thoughts which Europeans took home with them in regard to the taste and skill | of the Americans in the elegant arte, j there is already plenty of proof that they went oflf with * genuine respect for our mechanical abilities, which in some cases amounted to admiration, and which has given our countrymen a better standing in the markets of the world and is cre­ ating an unexpected demand for Ameri­ can productions. New instances come to light every day. The latest comes from Russia, and is a very pleasing one. It seems that the agricultural provinces j of Russia, those lying in the south and ' west of the empire, have begun to suffer from competition with the United States in the sale of grain. Not only is the ex­ portation of Russian cereals to Europe restricted by the shipment from the American States of enormous quantities of the same class of products, but the Russian commercial houses and land­ holders have been compelled to accept cheaper prices for what they do export. The competition with the United States is growing more severe every year, and the intelligent men of the south and west of Russia have come to feel about as the British manufacturers do in the field of industry, that something must be done or they will be able no longer to stand up against the new world in the business in which vested. study of the American system of agricult­ ure within tne past two years, through two agents, for the purpose of discover­ ing the secret of American success and making use of it in Russia. The gentlemen who have been acting for them are Mr. Benedict Kolyszko, a prominent and wide-awake land-holder of South Russia, and Mr. T. F. Krajew- ski of this city, a young engineer of edu­ cation, who, during five years' residence in this country, part of the time having been spent in the employ of Grant Loco­ motive Works, at Paterson, N. J., has become favorably known for good judg­ ment and ability. Commissioned by the boards of agriculture to act for them, these gentlemen spent several months the past summer at the Philadelphia Exhibi- tiom and in studying the methods of agri­ culture in the Western States. The cause of American success in grain-rais­ ing is no trade secret, and the Russian agents discovered it immediately. It consists, not in the fertility of the soil, but in intelligent work and an abundance of excellent implements and labor-saving machinery. Mr. Kolyszko and Mr. Kra- jewski were not long in coming to the conclusion that, in order to maintain a competition with the United States in agriculture, the Russians must put into the hands of their laborers the superior fanning implements and labor-saving machinery of the Americans. Mr. Kolyszko has returned to Russia, and three trials have been made in the presence of interested crowds of specta­ tors. One was at Odessa, where a com­ petition took place between English and American plows and implements, and where the latter won a signal success. Another was on the lands of Count Mala- chowski, a large landholder. This was a private trial. It was attended by several hundred landholders, and resulted in deepening the good opinion beginning to be felt toward American implements. The third was an official trial, under the supervision of the Board of Agriculture, at Chereon. It was on this occasion that certain things were decided as to the size and form of certain implements best adapted to Russian use. As a result of these trials, the Boards of Agriculture of South and West Russia have decided to recommend the general use of American implements, and they have so done, and Mr. Kolyszko has been designated as their agent for importing them. Mr. Krajew- ski, at No. 73 Broadway, is the engineer, inspector and agent in this country. In pursuance of the plan which has been detailed, Grdcra were given for tools and implements, one of them being to a firm in Louisville, Ky., for 10,000 plows. A mowing machine adapted to Russian soil has been picked out, and experiments are in progress in New England to ascer­ tain the best kind of portable engine for Russian employment. For the purchase of specimens of this latter class of heavy machinery, for trial and exhibition in va­ rious parts of Russia, $5,000 lias been appropriated to the Board of Agricidture. The orders which have been given, and the experiments which are milking, are only the beginning of what Mr. Krajew- ski believes, and what may possibly prove to be, a considerable trade in im­ plements with Russia. Sale of a Menagerie. The great London menagerie was re­ cently disposed of at auction, at Atlanta, Ga. The following are some of the prices paid for wild beasts: Four royal Bengal tigers, $4,000; five elephants, $15,000; six hyenas, $1,000; an eland and two piccaries, with the cage, $1,000; a large African lion, $400; a lioness and three cubs, $400; five panthers, $900; a sacred cow, $300; a camel, $300; a zebra, $500; eight small ponies and their Cin­ derella carriage, $1,100; four Shetland ponies were sold at the veiy low figure of $35 each. The total amount realized by the sale was $52,680.50. IT is now generally admitted l»y honest physician* that, when once the consumption is fairly fastened upon the longs, no human power can save the patient from death. They also say that about 50 per cent, of those who "die from this disease can trace the cause to a neglected cough or cold, which might have been cured by a small bottle of Liquid Opodeldoc, or, what is the same thing, Johnson's Anodyne Linimeut.
