ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS, 
Jos. Irwin .—Chnfas or Earth Almonds can be 
obtained of W. H. Cxnsoy, 125 Chambers St., N. 
Y., or of R. U. Aixbx. 
0. J".—Your question about Chufas is answer¬ 
ed above. 
D. T .—Yon can obtain Sweet potato plants of 
Mr. Carson. Peter Henderson, R. Iv. Bliss, R. 
H. Allen— or. in fact, of any New York City 
Seedsmen who advertise in the Rural New- 
Yorkkr, and wo do not believe there is the least 
danger of being cheated in trading with such 
houses as we have named. 
Caroline Mol ).—Wo have never used white 
hellebore with soap suds, and cannot therefore 
tell how much is necessary for a gallon. Dust 
the plants with the powder while they are wet 
with dew and it will destroy insects just, as woll 
as when mixed with water or other liquids. 
Stickncy .—The recipe for the original Spal¬ 
ding’s Glue, (which i» as good as any of thestiek- 
ingpreparations to be used cold,) is as follows: 
To one pound of good glue put three pints of 
cold water and let it soak fifteen hours, then 
melt in a hot water hath ; when melted and thor¬ 
oughly mixed, add one quart of crude acetic acid 
and three ounces of cheap glycerine and stir well 
together. If too thick, add more acetic acid. 
Yinegar in the place of the acid won’t answer. 
H. A. J .—Ronmania comprises the northeast 
portion of Turkey in Europe, north of the Dan¬ 
ube, east of the Carpathian Mountains, occupy¬ 
ing about 46,500 square miles, with a population 
of 4,500,000. It comprises what was, until 186C, 
Wallachia or Moldavia, which uamo you will 
doubtless find on your old map. Roumania is 
governed by an elective Prince called Hospador, 
and although independent, it has been under 
an arrangement for protection and dofeuso with 
Turkey. 
Division .—The line longitude 20 - W. of Green¬ 
wich (being 160 at the antipodes) was fixed as 
the division line between the Eastern and West¬ 
ern Continent, because it passed over less land 
than any other—the object being to have no 
large body of land lying iu both hemispheres. 
IT. T. \V. -Chromo-lithograph means literally 
printing from stone in colors, although the name 
was first applied to such picture* as worts printed 
from stones prepared by the artist in a peculiar 
way, whicU preserved the half tints and shades, 
as seen in oil paintings. The cheap pictures 
often given aspretniums.are chromo-lithographs, 
inasmuch as they are printed in colors from 
stone; but they aro as far from tho pictures first 
called by that name as darkness is from daylight.
