Bell's new project! la performs what its inventor ;laims, namely that it can be dis abarged from a smooth-bore gun with as great a velocity aa any projectile now discharged from rifled cannon, it will revolutionise gunnery. Colonel Bell not only claim this for it, bat claims also that it will neither wabble nor tumble in the course of its flight This projectile, says the Se-w York Herald, seems to be the cheapest surest and most accurate by far of all yet invented, and is fired more easily and more accu rately and with far greater economy of power and cost from the old-fashioned 3,000 smoothbore of the sixties than from the magnificently expensive rifled wonder of today. What this will mean in case the government teats soon to be undertaken prove the accuracy of the original teats may be gathered from the fact that $3,000,000 worth of the old imoothbores of Rebellion time is lying loom around the United States so much old iron and nothing more. It will be a wonderful saving if these can yet be utilised. About 9,000 species of insects, on n average, have been discovered dur ing each year of the present century.

' A new flying machine, similar in principle to that of Lilienthal, has been devised by Herr Arthur Stensel 01 Ai tons, Germany, says the Popular Sci ence Monthly. It has parabolic wings in imitntlnn rf htrA'n win cm. ia driven by the power of compressed carbonic ! arid, and has been made to "go" when attached for safety to a guiding cable. With a force of one horse-power it has advanced three meters at each beat ing of the wings, of which there are one and three-tenths per second. With a horse-power and a half the machine may be made to fly free from the cable. The wings are remarkably elastic, and the inventor thinks that this ia one of the factors of his success. They are made of unsoldered steel tubes and bamboo, and are covered with a spe cially prepared india-rubber cloth. The apparatus is directed by a rudder which is not unlike a bird's tail. As yet no passengers have been carried on the ma chine.

The seventh triennial meeting of this body will be held in St Petersburg this year. The previous session hsve been: Philadelphia (inaugural), 1876; Paris (first congress), 1878; Boulogne. 1881; Berlin, 1885; London, 1888; Washing ton, 1891; Geneva, 1894. In each country special endeavors have been made to make the reunion as interest ing and as agreeable as possible, extend ing to visiting members every wonity for studying the prominent physical and geological features of the country tbey were visiting. ' The actual congress is to take place at the Imperial Academy of bcienoes, St Petersburg, . from August 99th to September 4th August 17th to 23d, O. a The questions to be discussed hsve not yet been decided npon, but whatever they may be, a room will be set aside for an exhibition of geological maps, profiles, books, collections, in- stuments, etc, and arrangements hsve been made so that all objects intended for this exhibition and addressed ! Russia, St Petersburg, Exposition du Congress Oeologique International," j will be delivered at St Petersburg without being submitted to any cus toms inspection, and will be unpacked in the presence of a delegate or tne or ganizing committee. Furthermore, such instructions have been given to the Russian representatives in foreign countries, that on presentation of the card of membership the vise of pass ports will be facilitated, and moreover, the asms card shown at a Kuasian port or frontier will render the customs in spection as easy as possible. Then, again, all geologists who have paid their subcription will obtain a non-transferable ticket, giving them the right to travel first-class on the Russian and Finland railway free of cost The ex cursion arranged, both to precede and succeed the meeting, include a visit to the Ourals, or to Esthonia, or to Finland, before the meeting, and to the Caucasus and Crimea after the meeting. , Effect mt the Kay Air. At a recent meeting of the Royal So ciety of Edinburgh, Lord Kelvin read a communication on rue rarciriucauun of Air by Roentgen Rays,' the out come, he said, of some experiments which had occupied his attention for some months. The primary object of these investigations, ; of theoretical value on ly, was to ascertain the action of Roentgen rays npon electrified air; that is, to see whether the rays had any electrifying effect on the air. In every case the experiments showed that air which bad not been p-eviously electri fied was negatively electrified, and air that was positively electrified having been submitted to the action of X-rays was found to be either not electrified at sll or slightly negatively electrified. Thus it will be seen that X-rays have a decided electrifying action, positively electrified air losing its positive charge, and sometimes acquiring instead a neg ative charge.

The ground should not be dug up, but only scraped up just enough to cut all the weeds away from the plants. The hoea should be ground sharp. W'ltn a good steel hoe the young weeds can i cuv op to the plants very rapidly. This work should be done before the weeds have become deeply rooted. ni.,n. vhn the onion bulbs com mence to swell take a scythe and cut the tops off about one-third.

Before the harvest U gathered, see that yon have placed a reasonable In surance on the barn, out-bulldlngs con nected with the barn and on the hay barracks In the fields. Hare the amount of Insurance specified and written out In the policy on each building insured; then have the stock insured, the wag ons, carriages and farm tools; and then the bay, grain and provender. The rate of Insurance la 45 cents per $100 In a good stock company, and In a mu tual company much lower. There should be no delay In this matter, nor should there be any mistake made In placing the Insurance upon the right buildings. With the best of care the barn may be burnt down by accident, and without an Insurance the labor of years La lost In a few hoars. A yearly Insurance should be bad. The Ameri can. , Directing Hired Help. . laborers earn more when they are kept at one kind of business through out the day. If tbey are directed or permitted to go from field to field, or from one kind of business to another, they will not always give a good ac count of their day's work. It Is a good practice to let our work by the Job when it can be done. Then the man feela that he Is at work for himself and, of course, be will do more work thsn he would for another man. Ditching, wood cutting and other business may be Jobbed out And this when the employer Is not at borne to direct the work. But the business of plowing, harrowing and tilling among the corn and potatoes should be done In the presence of the owner. When the ground baa been well prepared, and no weeds interfere, a good man, who la used to handling a hoe, will dress an acre In a day. It Is fortunate that men of large cap ital cannot Invest In farms, and realize as much as In bank and railroad stocks. If they could they would soon own most of the farms In the country. And farmers would become tenants, In stead of owners, of the soli Farm and Home. Potatoes for Export, A correspondent write from Paris that potato culture Is liable to receive a new Impetus since the plan of selling them peeled, sliced and dried, Uk cer tain fruits, seems to be the taste of the export market The drying of the po tatoes can follow the period of the desiccation of fniUa.

It Is often hard work to get a clover seeding on the dry, elevated knolls In grain fields. Lack of moisture I usu- ally the cause. But the evil may b remedied by drawing a few yards of stable manure and spreading over the knolls. The manure not only protects u juuug vn y vu hokls the moisture In the soil, by check ing evaporation. This will soon make them as rich as any part of the field. It Is usually the lack of clover seeding on such places that keep them poor. Thin th Krait Early. Where thinning of fruit Is known to be necessary, the earlier the work ia done the better.
