WILLAMETTE FARMER. Qood HAlTH- Wholesome Air. There nro some very Interesting facts brought to light in the analysis made in various local ities to determine the quality of the air. On this subject nn exchange sajs: Analyses bIiow that nir in open and exposed localities varies in the amount of oxygen, which it contains from 20.4 to 21. The most favor able localities, as ou the heaths of Scotland, show the latter; while) it is necesiary to go underground into a mine to find the former. Well ventilated mines where it is possible) to labor, rarely go below 20. These results are delivered from thousands of careful anal) ses. Cavendish made GOO in the course of his in quiries. The cursory reader may think that the dif ference betv. een 21 and 20, and In the per cout. of oxygen in the atmosphere can,have but little im portance, ami is hardly worth inquiring into. It is true that the deficiency named is small when considering in figuring; but when we reflect that while 21 represents the largest amount of oxygen eer found in the best natural atmos- Ehere a candle goes out at 18.50, and llfo can o barely sustained for a short time at 17.20, the importance of a small per cent, of difference becomes apparent. Even so small a difference as that between 21, and 20.081 is equal to 100 in a million; and if wo placa impurity iu water at that rate it will amount to 13 grains iu n gallon. This amount would bo considered enormous, it it consisted of putrlfjiug matter or any organio matter usually found iu water. Hut we drink but a small quantity of water and with such a percentage wo might bo several days in swallowing tho whole 13 grains; where as we take into our lungs from 1500 to 2000 gallons air each day. Moreover the blood re ceives such impurities almost entire, very lit tle being tlltere d out iu its passage to the lungs; while the stomach has powers of disinjectiou and I destruction whkh renders very much of tho organio impurities iu ttitttr harmless. Hut if we take the uir found in the pit of a theater, generally about 20.740, wo find that tnluuto an alysls becomes it matter of tho highest impor tance. The senses nro bad and Inefficient guides to tho whulesomencss of air oh regards the amount of oxjgeu aud carbonic acid, mivei when tho former is reduced and the latter increased to'such au extent that tho lungs seem to rtfusu toexpaudaud the n hole n ilalaciion is threatened WHU paralysis, noonis uacuy veutiiiiiuti, vtutcu contain less than 20.7 per cent, oxygen, are very unwholesome, aud tho necessity of taking into consideration the proportion of oxygen and carbonic acid in tho sanitary Inspection of factories nud works is abundantly oident from the results obtained by Dr. Smith. Mr. Cltmsou, a Trench chemist, made pub lic, iu 1830, a theory with regard to tho pres enco of living organisms m tho atmosphere, to minute as to bo almost or quite unobservablo by the best microscope, aud which orgauiBUis exerted a marked intlueuce on health iu fact, were tho origin of most diseases to which men are subjected. Ho also argued that thtre is phosphorlo ncid in tho nir, derived from the succcssho generations after generations of my riads of these organisms, produced, lliug and dying in the atmosphere, that such organisms exiit aud ore at work, food for morn perfect or gauisms from tho microscopic points of life tu tho most perfect animal existence. lie also entertained tho idea that the increased fertility of the earth by being brokeu up ud exposed to tho ittniosphero, was emu tu the presence of such nuimalcul.e. To Keep Teeth Healthy. It is surprising that so plain a duty as clean liness of tho teeth should bo so often entirely neglected. And yet thcro aro peoplo who prido themselves on being scrupulously clean, who forget nil about thoso hardworking servants, tho teeth. Dr. Lano has tho following with regard to their caro: Tho great enemies of our teeth aro ncid. A source of ncid U tho decomposition of sugar in tho mouth, which changes to luetic ncid. Thomlluiof tho mouth in its normal condi tion is mi alkaline, and is nn excellent prescr vatie. If tho euamel is smooth it furnithcH no loilgiug for foreign bodies, but If it is rough, foreign matter accumulates nnd turns to ncid. Ibis, having eaten through tho enamel, pro ceeds iuwartl with n rapi t march, and hollows tho tooth iu n short timo if not nrYt steel. Extremo care should be taken that acids do not remain in tho month, neither should sugar nor other substances bo HUtlertdto undergo do composition there. The greatest panacea for poor teeth is cleanllucss. Thoroughly brush tho teeth, not only night nnd morning, but nlwos nftcr eating. An error frequently made in using n brush ou tho teoth, is that of draw luc it transversely across them, from ono sido of tho mouth to tho other. This practico long continued produco transverso fissures, which finally be como so deep that tho teeth prescut nn oppearanco of haviug been filed into. This transverse brushiug nlso has tho pernicious effect of forciug tho mucous into tho tutcMices between the teeth. Tho teeth should be brushed from aboe downward nnd from below upward never from Bldo to side. Tho iuuer surfaco should also bo as carefully cleaned, nnd caro should bo takeu Jhnt no particles of food aro left in tho interstices. Dark tooth powder should not be used, be cause it works up under tho gums, and dis colors theedaes. 1'iire soon is a good dentrifice. A tooth powder, must nbovo nil things, be nlknline, nud should contain nothing capable of becoming sour, such ns tho sugar of milk, which is sometime used. Whenever n tooth powder is praised for reudering tho teeth very white, it should le looked on with distrust siucoltU pretty sure to contain some agent that will attack tho enamel. Tooth powder should be so fine grained th it when rubbed be tween the ringers no particle can be felt. As the chief iugrcdent of tooth powder, thcro is nothing better than carofully prepared oyster shell or carbouate of magnesia. To tlavor it, n small amount of calamus root may be added, which ha good effect ou the gums. Prepared chalk mixed with n small amount of camphor also makes u good tooth powder. In the preservation of the teeth, the three following ruUsshonld be observed: 1. Careful nvoidauce of ucids nnd careful cleansing of the teeth with such substances os render ae ids inert for example, nlkahes. 2. Occasional examination of tho teeth, in order that a commencing cavitj ma) be de tected in due time and tho proper remedy re- sorted to. .... 3. Immeelinto removal of such teeth as nre decayed bejoud reclamation. Tnr latest plan for obviating sea-sickness is the following: Construct a large well in the ship, around the center of gravity is the best posi tion for it. T his well should have no bottom. The water iu it will appear to have a nsiug and fall inc motion, but will in fact be at rest, while the walls of the well elide up and down In this well tloat n small ship, and von are secure against seasickness. 1 he proposer of the plan calls this "taking a small harbor to sea Growing Plants in Sleeping Rooms. It is n current uotiou that growing plants contaminate tho air of an npartmeut by the ex halation of carbonic acid during the niht. Professor Kedzie, of the Michigan Agricultur al College, has been making experiments to test the truth of this view, and gives the ie suits as follows: "Not tu leave this matter iu the condition of mere conjecture, I hae gath eied aud auatv zed specimens of air from a room where tho intlueuce of growing plauts would be exhibited iu n greatly exaggerated form. Thus, instead of taking tho air from a room containing a few plauts, I gathered it from the College greenhouse, whero more thau 0,000 plauts are growing. I gathered the nir before sunriso ou tho mornings of April 10 and 17. Tho room had been closed for more thau U hours, and, if the plauts exhaled carbonic acid to nn injurious extent, the analysis of air from such n room would certainly disclose this fact Tho three specimens of atr gathered on the morning of April 10, from different parts of the room, gave 4.11, 1.00, 1.00 parts of carbon io ncid in 10,000 of nir, or an average of 4 01 iu 10,000. Tho two specimens githercd April 17 gave 3.80 aud J.S0 parts of carbonic acid in 10,000, or uu average, ou the whole of 3 01 parts of carbonic acid iu 10,000 of nir; while the outdoor air contains 4 parts in 10, 000. It will thus be seen that the air in the greenhouse w as better than " pure country air." This deficiency of carbouio acid was doubtless duo to tho absorption of carbonic acid aud con sequent accumulation of oxjgen during day light, since tho wiudows of the greenhouse were closed day nud night on account of the cool weather. To ascertain whether the nir of the greenhouse had more carbonic acid by night than by day, I gathered two specimens of ir In different parts of the house, at two o'clock p.m., April 17. These gave 1.10 aud 1.38 parts of carbonic ncid iu 10,000, or an a virago oil 3'.) I parts, showing that tho night air contained uieire carbonic acid than did tho air of day. Now, If I a room iu which there were more than 0,000 plants, while containing more carbonic acid by night thau by day, contains less carbouio acid than any sleeplug room on this continent, we may (lately conclude that one or two dozen plants iu a room will not exhale enough car bonic ncid by night to injure the sleepers."

The dlh used, which with the spoon should bo thorouuhlv cleansed and sodded, should bo a little inoretluntwo.thlrds full, and set in a worm place until the batter rises so as to till It. The most common way i to put the dish of rising in worm water aud set it whore it will keep at quite it warm tempera ture; but sotuo use it cloth or n paper to ex clude tho cool air instead of placing in water.

When "light," tako n quantity of flour cor responding to tho amount of biend desired nud stir iu scalding (.not boiling) water enough to scald one-third, then add cold water (or milk, which is better,) enough to cool tho scalded Hour so that it will not scald tho rising; put in tho rising nud stir nltogether vigor ously until you hnvo n thick batter and put in n warm ptaco to rise. when light and puffy stir as thick as possible with n spoon, theu mix with tho hands until knead tble, cut off in loaves of n size to half fill vour biking tins, knead thoroughly, shape to and put in Oiir tins nnd again put iu n warm place to rise.

The salt named dissolves in ton times its quan tity of water, nud is added directly to tho gum solution. A solution of alum does not answer ns well as tho simple sulphato of alumina, which con bo pre (wired from alum by precipi tating tho alumina with ammonia, washing thoroughly ou it filter nnd dissolving iu mil pliurio acid. The vegetable gluo thus prep tred will not, of course, ferment, sour or mold, which will bo appreciated by thoso usiug it. Jour, of .!;;.
