The marvelous feat of taking a. pho- tograph through a. lens composed of a beetle’s eye is the discovery of Dr. G. F. Allen of Aurora, Ill. This is the first instance where any- thing of the sort has been accomplish- ed. It all came about through 8. cu- rious statement made at a. meeting of the British Scientific Association. at which Mr. M. W. Stine of the Armour Institute of Chicago called attention to and next year 18 tons of hay was cut- first mowing, nearly 3 tons per am 1-: second mowing, 1 1-2 tons. A les; quantity of ashes was used in succeed- ing wars, and a little manure. It was: plowed and dressed once in three or ;four years, and averaged 12 to 15 tons :of hay up to three years ago. Some: poor, rocky soil that had produced only bushes or ferns was heavily dress- ed with the ashes, and has given good pasture for 50 years. Another piece of ground so treated. and used as pas- ture, still shows the good effects of the ashes. The State of Maine would be ,worth to-day millions of dollars more if all the ashes she produced had been used on the farms instead of being wasted or shipped away to enrich other States. A correspondent of The Boston Cul- tivatnr writes that about 1833 some potash works near Phillips. Me., cam-e- into his possession. It was in the eal‘llv' days, before the advent of slow-s, when much hardwmid was burned, and there Were many pot and pearl nsh buildings, where ashes costing 10 to 12 cents a bushel were leached, null then dumped anywhere to get them out of the way. The works in question had been built close to a river to get rid of the ashes. Still there way u large accumulation of rubbish that could neither be sold nor given away. Finally a. 4 1-2 acre lot of hard-up land was bought (oats or barley would not grow over a. foot high on it), an: dressed with 600 to 800 bushels to Lin,- acre. It was seeded to grain and clover.

The Dairyman would advise that under no circumstances should lime be mixed with manure, as it has the damaging effect of setting the ammonia, free. This will prove a. serious loss, as am- monia is one form of nitrogen, and ev ery effort should be made to hold it in the manure until the desired plan! 3 can take it up. For this purpose land plaster should be used in, the, manure heap and stables in place of lime. Speaking of the use ui plaster in stai- bles reminds us of an incident which oceurred in our own experience a few days. ago.

The early methods of coining money were exceedingly imperfect. The m..- tal. having been brought tc the rt- quired standard of fineness, was mett- ed and cast into small bars, which was reduced into thin plates under the hammer. Square pieccs cut from these plates, were rounded at the forge and then by means of rude diesâ€"mic fixed like an anvil to a. block and the other held in the hand and struck with a mallet like a punchâ€"the round lump or metal was flattened and coined at the same time. The difficulty of thus placing the two dies exactly opposite suggested occasional improvements: but it was not fill about the sixteenth century that the forge and hammer grave place in Framce and Eng-land to the mill and screw. :3. method by which the bars were reduced to their Dro- r‘cr thickness by rnl'ing and the 11:00”: “ware coined by the pressure or a screw.

It So happens that in this insance, as stated. a silhouette was used instuz‘t Hi the ordinary phntograph. Other and similar experiments, however, have deâ€" monstrated the truth of the statement “It seems reasonably clear that in- sects form their judgments of distance from such multiple images, depending upon the power of each facet to re- tract light rays. The nearer the ob- jeCt the greater would be the area («W- ered by the images on the retina. It is y-arcely conceivable that rays not capable of refraction or of being focus- ed. which is the case with X rays. can by simple shadow effects enable a judg- ment tn be formed on the distance “-f an object." “The resulting multigraph was 031‘- cular. and containcd several hundrc-l Images of the profile. one indeed for each facet of the eye.
