Lime is not used us much as former- ly. and yet It is one of the most essen tial substances entering into the com position of plants. It is not only plant tood, but It exerts a chemical effect on the soil, which brings Into use other materials whlcn are beyond the capaci ty of plants to reduce. When green food is turned under, lime will be found a valuable adjunct, as it combines with them. It is a heavy substance and has a tendency to go down, hence, if broad- tasted on the surface of a field, it will sooner or later be within the reach of Plants. Some lime that has been air- slacked until it Is tine is better than any other form, and that from the gas works (mostly sulphites and sulphides) should not be procured. Every farm should be limed occasionally, as the benefit is sure to be much more that, tlie cost aud no harm can result. Cures a H o rs e ’ s R h e u m a tis m .

Y’et accidents occur so frequently that it would seem as if progress t o w a r d safety had stopped. Only in very rare cases does a ear “drop.” This could happen ouly if all the cables supi>ort- Ing It should part. In the great major ity of accidents the car “runs away,” or gets beyond the control of the ope rator, and nothing can prevent disas ter but an automat ic device which will stop the car gradu ally.

It is suggested that ears should be placed In charge only of men who are old enough to lie clear-headed, who have passed a suitable examina tion as to knowledge and general fit ness. A scheme which is in use in a few buildings and has given good satisfac tion is nn air cushion in the bottom of the shaft. The lower part of the shaft for a distance of several feet is made air tight. When a falling car drops Into this “ tube" the air below It acts as a cushion, and the stop is made gradual by the escape of the air around the sides of the car. For exiieriment a ear has been dropped repeatedly 125 feet Into one of these cushions, and stop page was not of sufficient abruptness to break eggs on the car floor. THREE NOW USED.

A scheme to increase tlie efficiency of oil to still the waves of the ocean in s storm has been thought out by W il liam Guthrie, of Chicago. His notion is based on the aigument that if oil lias a pacifying effect when distributed on the water in the immediate neighbor hood of the ship in trouble, its effect would be magnified if tlie oil could be applied at adistanoe all about the ship, thus creating a calm circle, in which the ship could ride in safety until the storm had spent its fury. His proposi tion is to shoot saturated sponges or cot ton from a pneumatic gun, that being preferable to a powder gun, as there would be no danger of igniting the oil- soaked sponge. Some people interested in shipping have been impressed with the idea and application is to be made to congress for an appropriation to test its •dfieienoy.
