in purchasing have secured many-shore tracts
below Savin Rook,"and below Oyster River
and all the way to Merwin’s Point. A few
parties would not sell and hence some tracts
intervene between the tracts bought. All
aorts'of rumors prevail. The parties spur:

Royalty cannot escape from sewer gas.
The grants made to’ the Duke of Connaught
before his marriage were as liberal as' the
income of Queqn Victoria’s children invaria-
bly are, yet he‘ has lived in an unhealthy
palace and his Duchess-has had a narrow
name from blood-poisoning. His residence
in Bagshot Park was recently erected at a
cost of from $150,000 to $200,000, ann spec-
ial': pains were taken in the arrangement and
ventilation of the- drains, yet so. faulty was
the workmanship that fpoisonous gases were
conducted into all .the bed-rooms .of the
house. The Lancet asserts that the elabo-
rately Constructed system of baths drains and
waste-pipes communicated direc-ly with the
soiLdrains of the building, pipes which
should have been stopped being left open and
house-drains and sewersfgenerally being ven-
tilated-into the very apartments which ,it was
most important to:preservef from infection.
The result was? that offensive smells were
perceived'iu several rooms, thatmany of the
inmates suffered from various forms of in.
disposition and from a general sense-of heav-
iness, and that the Duchess herself. immed-
lately after the birth of achild. was removed
from the house on account .of ominous
symptoms of blood-poisoning, from which
she happily has'recovered. Apparently there
are sanitary engineers .in England as well as
' in the United States, who have not mastered
the first principles of,eouse—drainage. After

An attempt to Repair the Ruin of
American Forests.
The very necessities of their situation
have aroused the people of some of our
Western States to action. In Kansas, Nc-
braska, and other States liberal premiums
have been offered for the encouragement of
tree-planting. and already in many portions
of thcpra'irle region aperceptablc change has:
taken place, and the eye no longer‘wnnders
over great spaces, without sight of'shrub or
tree. Minnesota'has her Foresty Association,
and its secretary reports that between seven
and ten millions of trees were planted in that
State during the year 1877, of which more
than half a million were planted in a single
slay, “Arbor Day." as it is called, or tree—
planting day, the first Tuesday of May
having been fixed upon- as the (l:iy,and every
owner of land invited to devote the day es-
pecially to the planting of trees. Similar
efforts have been made in other States which
are similarly situated in respect to a supply
of forest. The great railway companies,
whose roads stretch across the trcelcss
prairies, have become in some instances large
planters of trees, feeling the need of them both
as screens from the fierce storms that sweep
down from the Rocky Mountains, and as a.
source of supply for the tics which are con-
stantly needing renewal. »
Tree-planters’ manualsIare published and
distributed freely, with a view to aid those,
who would plant by giving them the experi-j
ence already obtained in regard to the most
profitable trees to plant and the best methods
Thus in some places there is
already quite a movement injthe right direc-
tion. In the reports of planting the figures
makean imposing aggregate. ,~ But a liberal
discount needs to be made for the probable
failure of a large percentage of the trees
planted. ‘And even with the most generous
estimate in regard to the work of planting,
what is accomplished as yet is but a fraction
of what needs to be done. It is but the feeble
beginning of a vast work. The talk of
millions of trees planted. This sounds well.
But .a' good many trees can stand upon an
acre, and the latest estimates put the annual
decrease of our forest area at seven million
acres._ So that Minnesota, with all her ardor
in this work, has only planted one tree for
to that of the‘ State of Maryland is every
year swept clean of its trees. This is a large
sectioti to be taken yearly, out of our forest
resdurces. Withgall; that we areiyet- doing
is the way_ of trcegplantin‘g, the balance is
largely 'againstIus. With all the‘iinterestand .
energy manifested by the young We'st‘on this
subject, stimulated by her most pressing
need, we are only planting Oneacre while
thirty-five are laid bare by the axe and by
fire. ' And we=mhst{ consider also that. the
work of destruction goes on at an increasing
rate from year to year as our population and
our industries increase, and that the trees

Silk Culture.
Bownk, Neb. Jan. 21.
To the-Editor of the Witness:
Dean Sm: As the subject of silk culture
is receiving considerable attention in the
United States, I thought a few items from
this section. might prove interesting to your
readers. I live near a colony of Russian
Mennonites of German origin. Their religg
ious convictions were such that they could
not serve in the army, and about the year
1800 the German Governmentinsisted' that.
they should serve-or leave the country.' The.
Czar of Russia Othe‘n‘ ofiered them a tract'of
land in Russia and to exemptthem from
military duty. They accepted his ofier and
lived in Russia up to the time they emigrated
to the United States, about 7 years ago
(because Russia broke its covenant with them
and required them to serve in the army or
leave). There are colonies of them in
Kansas, Nebraska-and Dakota. The mul-
berry tree was introduced into their colonies
in Russia by the Czar, for the purpose of
silk culture and to facilitate rain-fall. He
compelled his subjects to buy these trees of
Government—each land-holder must plant a
certain number. After cultivating them un-
propigated them very extensively and learned
that silk culture was not the only considera-
tion in raising them. _-They found the
timber very desirable for fuel. It also
furnished the finest materials for cabinet
work. and fence posts made from it would
outlast those made from any other timber.
The tree soon became the most highly-prized
of any Russian timber tree; it also bore ed-
ible fruit. which was marketable in Russia.
When the Mennonites came to this country,
They also brought the seed of several other
trees, but planted these more extensively
than all others combined. They grew rap-
idly. Trees, the seed ofjwhich was planted
6 years ago, are now 20 feet high and large
enough for fence posts. The tree resembles
the apples tree in itshubit of growth. The
often reaching the height of 50 feet und’from
3 to 5 feet in diameter. They bear fruit
old, and hear every year. Last season the
farmers came several miles to purchase it for
dessu'l. It varies in flavor from sub-acid to
sWect. The bark is grayish white and
branches drooping. The Mennonites also
use it as a hedge plant, and it makes a bean-
tiful hedge. Prof. Budd, of the Iowa Agri-
cultural Coilege, says it is propagated more
easily from cuttings than any mulberry with
which he is acquainted.
The Mennonites have interested themselves
in the silk; business tosshmeextent since they
have been'I-in this' country, and have some
cocoons for sale: ‘ G. F. CLARK.

The floor cloth “LINOLEUM ” has now been

ed mainly of finely ground cork and solidi-

beauty and cleanliness, the demand must
continue to increase. It has stood the .test

buyers should look on the back of the cloth

lady of the house who was entirely a‘ one-
The secret of her afiliction, however, was
soon revealed ; for allusion being ineidently
made to her only son, she pressed her hands
heavily on her throbbing heart, as if to pre-
vent it jumping from her bosom. exclaimed:
"‘0, brother Eddy, my trouble is killing me i
are murdering-my dear boy ?"
she had somewhat recovered her self-posses-I
sion' she related her personal interview with
the dram-sellers—‘how she, with tears, re-
monstsuttzd, begged, and prayed that they
would desist from selling or giving liquo
her son; butall tono purpose. Another case
has just come under our observation. A
man living in Indiana said, “Well, temper-
ance isull right enough, but there are met-
ters of more, importance before the people
now.” Two nights after he had madelthe
above remark a spring-wagon was stopped in
front of his house, about one o’clock in the
morning. He was called to the door. Ills
wife looking out of the window saw six
men carrying something on a door or wide
board. She guessed what in an instant, and
giving a wild, frantic scream, cr' , “My
boy, 0 my.boyl What shall I do. He is
deadl I have been fearing this would hap-
pen by that cursed whiskey 1” Sure enough
it was her son brought home nearly dead.
He‘had been drunk and engaged in a saloon
brawl. He was beaten into almost a shape-
less unrecognizable mass and stabbed in the
right side. But why should we refer to one
or two instances of the crushed hope of
broken-hearted and almost erased- mothers 7‘.
While we are writing, doubtless, there are
thousands of mothers and others enduring
similar agony which they try as best they
can to conceal; and could we hear their
involuntary outbursts ofigrief,their exclam'a- '
ticns would be substantially the same.
That men who.for_fllthy lucre lies in wait
and in diabolical cunning entice youth and
even little boys to drink intoxicants should
be severely punished no reflecting person
can deny; but, alas, how seldomis it the case
that in this world the‘ party most guilty gets
his just ‘deserts. The unwary effect, too
often, is made to swr, while the guilty
cause goes soot free.. For example—not an
imaginary one either—an ignorant boy, who
has none to teach him lessons of sobriety
and virtue at home, is enticed or strays into
a grog shop. Liquor is sold or given to him.
Of course he is soon intoxicated- A breach
of the _ peaceois the natural consequence. .
But is the boy the only guilty phrty P. Nay,
obviously, his scducer is far more guilty,
and deserv‘es‘ten—fold greater punishment.
However, as it is much easier. to conviét a
verdant,,friendless ydIhth than a wily' tap-
stcr, the'former is sent to jail and there lock-
ed up with hardened criminals, while the
latter udmolestcd, is left behind the counter ,
to victimize others. Indeed, it would seem
the rage on the part of some liquor-dealers
to make drunkards of even small boys ig‘
not onlymercenary but devilish. Instance
a case recently published in a New York
paper. . ‘4’ .. I . 7
A little boy who'had taken the abstinence
pledge was induced to-enter a saloon, with
the promise by the keeper of some candy;
but after entering, the candy was withheld
until he would drink a glass of beer. With-
.-out forethought he yielded to the tempts-
tion ; but, filled with remorse, immediately
went to the secretary of the temperance
society, ,made confession, with many tears
and renewed his pledge. Now, we ask,what
punishment can be toflevcre for the ‘wretch
who takes so much pains to seduce a little
child into drinking habits? And yet ‘we
have great reason to believe that such incar-
natc‘fiends exist outside our :great cities.
That these dens of worse than thieves can be
found anywhere in our land of boasted civ-
ilization and intelligence, and especially kept
open under the real or ostensible protection
of law, is a burning disgrace which cannot
too soon be wiped away by the people—Ree.

PLAN FOR PROMOTING TEMPERANCE REFORM.
The Quarterly Conference of_the M. E,
Church at Lancaster, Pat, has adopted the
reform: “1. Public prayer, by the pastor,
for the cause of temperance; the drinker,
"drink-maker, and drink-seller, to be named
with other general subjects of invocation in
’at least one of the public services on- each
Sunday, 2. A public prayer service for
temperance on ordinary prayer-meeting oc-
casions, at least one in each quarter. 3. A
sermon by the pastor or other ministers, or
other equivalent public instruction, at such
times as the pastor may think expedient. 4.’
The formation at an early day. of a Sunday-
school and church tfiiperance socieg with
stated periods of‘public service, the pnstor
to be ex-oflicio president thereof, and the
services to be conducted under his supervis-
jlon. The society by sermons, lectures, ad-
dresses, readings, dialogues, distribution of
literature, and other appropriate means to
excite hnd maintnin public interest. and in-
struczion on the practical subject of Chris-'
lien and civil duty."

There is nothing which so disturbs the
znerves of the average legislator as the intro-
duetion of temperance into politics. He will
"legislate on the potato bug and domestic re.

tect sheep and tax dogs; but he abhors the
pestilcnt subject——temperance. He is in
favor of regulating the practice of dentistoy,
of medicine, of caring for all forms of suf-
fering humanity, the feeble minded, and the
idiots; but he begs you, in the name of your
party, never to introduce temperance into
politics. Nething is cigarenthan that ‘the
temperance people have settled down into a

Statement of MLVVaEhingtorI Monroe 01 Catskill,
Greene Cormty. New York.
“For men y years I had suffered from a
complaint which the physician called gravel
I had employed some of the most noted doc-
tors without obtaining any permanent relief,
and for along time my case was regarded, as
hopeless. All who knew the circumstances
said I must die. Finally, my wife induced
me to try a bottle of Dr. Kennedy’s ‘Fuvori,e
Remedy’ which she had somewhere heard of
or seen advertised. Without the slightest
faith in it. but solely to gratify her, I bought
a bottle‘ of a-druggist in our village. I used
that and gwo or three bottles more, and—to
make a long story short—I am now as healthy
as man as there is in the country.
Since then I have recommended ‘Favorite
Remedy to others whom I knew to have suf-
fered from Kidney and Liver complaints;
and I assure the public that the ‘Favorite
Remedy’ has done its work with a similar
completeness inevery single instance, and I
trust some other sick and discouraged mortal
may hear of it and try the Favorite Remedy
as I did.” 4t4.

"SCIENTIFIC nscmm.
The element caesium has been secured in
an isolated condition by a German chemist.
Herr Setterberg. It is found to be axsilvery-
white metal, resembling sodium and potassi-
um in general behavior. Caesium had hith-
erto resisted all eflorts to separate it from its
.combination with oxygen.
According to Mr. P. S: Sclater,'F. R. S.,
.the term lipotypc, which is comparatively
new to science, is employed to indicate ani-
mals which we should naturally expect to
meet but do not find in certain parts of the
earth. For instance, Australian lipotypes
are monkeys, vultures and woodpeckers.
Prof. Dufour has presented a new and in-
teresting proof that the earth is round. The
images of distant objects reflected in the
Lake of Geneva in calm weather show just
the degree of distortion which it careful
mathematical calculation would predict on
account of the shape of the earth.
Mr. F. R. Pierce, F. R. 8., states that the
explosion of a cannon can be heard to a dis-
nance of twenty to twenty-five miles; and
instances are known where the bombard-
meat of a town has been heard at a" distance
or one hundred miles. It is very welljrnpwn
he thinks, that the roar of the guns at Wa-
terloo was heard on the English coast, more
than one hundred miles from the battle-
field. , »

The sand of the Sahara desert is sometimes
heated to a temperature of 200 degrees Fah-
' renheit by the verticalrays of the sun.
This gives rise to a scorching wind—the
dreaded Simoon—which is rendered still
more terrible by the burning particles of
sand it carries along. In 1813, Burkhart
‘ recorded 122 degrees in the shade during the
prevalence of this pestilential blast.
The ventilation of the great Alpine tun

It has been proposed to create a current of
air by the‘ keeping of large tires at one end, ,
but the ‘expense has been found excessive.
A French engineer, . M. Pressel, suggests
that the same object may be attained by
cooling the air’at some point. in the tunnel
by water, which would give the diflerence
in density of the' atmosphere necessary to
cause a draught. Cool mountain streams are
numerous in the_Alps, and could be readily
applied to the purpose. I '
The sale of 800 telescopes in France du-
ring the two years ending last October, is
cited by M. Camille'IFlammarion as showing
to some extent the remarkable growth of
astronomical taste in that country. The
demand for M. Flammarion's books is, how-
ever, a more striking proof, two of them

tion of 88,000 copies, while a third has lately
appeared in its thirtiethedition.

The ground in the J are mountains is in a
state of movement, as is shown by some
curious observations pointed out by M.
Girardot. Villages that were invisible to
each other at the beginning of the century,
or even thirty or forty years ago, are now
visible. First the roofs appeared, and then
the upper part of the walls. Such is the case
with the villages of Doucier and Marigny,
near Lake Chalain. Important changes have
been noted even within teh years. .
