SCIENTIFIC NOVELTIES.

Some curious questions in the obscurer branches OF
Science have been recently debated at the London
Royal Institution DR.. Tyndall has been examining
the subject Of tones emitted by masses of heated
metal while cooling. He proved by repeated expert
ments the ncorrecness of the explanation hitherto re-
ceiyed, but still unable to assign the phenomena
to their true Another was on some most extra
ordinary effects Of molten, which the Rev. Bsdin
Powell, though he interested his auditors in the
perments, could not satisfactorily explain One Of
the effects is this: Let beam, free to turn in all d.
rections, be balanced horizontally on the top of
stspdsrd; then pu. small wheel one end cause it
TO rotate rapidly, and the beam will still retain its
horizontal position, notwithstanding the weight of the
wheel. II is as though motion nulii6ed gravity; but
as some of the most ingenious English philosophers
are examining into the phenomena, it is hoped eI
planaiou may long be found Another interesting
subject is that brought forward by Professor Edward
Forbes who has started an inquiry as to the depth Of
primeysl oceans, and who believes 1t possible to
throw light tpon it by study Of The color Of fOssil

The Law Of Divorce in some Of our States is very
lax; but in Germany it is easy matter to OBJ
tain divorce than in any State of our Union. re-
cent letter from Germany, speaking this subject,
ssys:
As you are probably aware, divorce may be OBJ
tanned in Germany for the most trfng as, for
instance a mere disagreement II is, in fact, mat
ter Of pleasure, and is of every day occurrence. In
Pastor Kuntzes (Berlinl congregation alone there
were during the last year, ninety applications for d-
vorce To the present law upon this subject they at
tribute large portion of the immortality among the
people, and efforts are now making to obtain law
similar to that in Englsnd and America, paper
from one Of the most distinguished German theoogians
this subject will be read at the approaching gen
erd annual meeting Of the German Church, to be
held at Frankfortonhe Maine, and at which expect
to be present II has been often theoretically declared
in England and America what would be theresuts OF
lax law on the subject Of divorce and you Will re-
collect that there discussion this subject in
the British Parliament last winter. can state what
are the practical results of such law in Germany as
this s acknowledged to be the great cause OF the pres
ent immortality. In the city of Berlin oneeighth OF
the children born yearly are Legitimate. 10 Ham
burg and other cities the proportion is still larger
while Munich has the enviable superiority Of swelling
the proportion TO one half This is a sufficient com
mentary on the practical workings Of the system.

MURDER. IN THE XXTH WARD.
A MAN STABBED TO THE HEART
ESCAPE OF THE ASSASSIN.


Last night while the rain falling in torrents the
citizens residing in the immediate vicinity of Twenty
seventies st. and Eighth av, were greatly alarmed al
hearing the cry of murder issuing from house near
by Many ran TO the place from where the noise
proceeded, and among others were Officers OR0urke
and Glove of the TIVE nteth Ward Police. On insti-
tutpg inquiries the officers learned that John Ora
ham had been attacked and stabbed to tie hear and
on making search the unfortunate msn was found in
q dark alley, was in an insensble and dying cond-
ton he having been stabbed stated. He died in
few minutes afterwards. One Barney MCGEE was
charged with committing the murder, and the officers
made search at once for him, but the Egyptian dark
ness and storm we're in his favor and he had escaped
Before leaving the neighborhood, however he had
entered two more grogshops and boasted that he
had stabbed Graham not knowing that he had taken
his life. The murderer, ii appears, was recently in
the employ Of Graham who was a contractor for ith
work A difficulty had arisen between them about
settlement, and last night McGee arming himself
with large knife, proceeded to the house Of deceased
seized and dragged him from his and pushed him
down fight of stairs. He again caught him by tse
coat collar and dragged him up an alley-way, and
there inflicted one or more wounds, which caused
death, as stated.
During the affray, Mrs. Graham interfered to pro-
tect her husband, and was severely stabbed in the
