SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN.
Volume Fourteen begins September IA, 1858.

Volume Fourteen begins September IA, 1885,
MECHANICS, INVENTORS MANUFACTURERS, AND
FARMERS.
The SCIENEIFIc AMERICAN has reached its
fourteenth year, and will enter upon new Vol
ume on the llth of September. 1t is the only
weekly publication of the kinl now issued in
this country, and it has very extensive circula-
ton in all the States of the Union. 1t is not, as
some might suppose from its title, a dry abstruse
work on technical science; on the contrary, it
SO deals with the great events going on in the
scientific, mechanical and industrial worlds, as
to please and instruct every one. If the Me-
chanic or Artisan wishes to know the best ma
chine in use, or how to make any substance en-
ployed in his business-if the Housewife wishes
to get recipe for making good color, &c.,
if the Inventor wishes to know what is going on
in the way of improvements-if the Manufac-
turer wishes to keep posted with the times, and
to employ the best facilities in his business-if
the Man of Leisure and Study wishes to keep
himself familiar with the progress made in the
chemical laboratory, or in the construction of
telegraphs, steamships, railroads, reapers, now
ers, and thousand other machines and appli-
ances, both of peace and war-all these desider-
ata can be found in the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN,
and not elsewhere. They are here presented in a
reliable and interesting form, adapted to the
comprehension of minds unlearned in the higher
branches of science and art.

Chess.

Chess is consecrated by the appreciation of
the good, the great and the wise. No one can
say aught against chess if it is played with rea-
son and moderation. Often has it beguiled the
tedious hours when wit has dull, eoquence in
sipid and poetry unwelcome. On the magic
board the statesman manages the affairs of ma
tions the warrior directs the course of armies
and presides over the % heady currents of the
fight; the philosopher tracks the intricate mazes
of science; and the moralist learns how to pail
late the vicissitudes of fortune by prudence, or
retrieve them by care and thus become an
adept in the art of life. He who can play good
game of chess who can fail and not disturb the
placidty of his temper who can triumph with
out inJuring the feelings of his adversary, has
surely gained mastery over himself of no small
value. In this game nothing depends on the
fickleness of fortune. We think no one was
ever vanquished except it was his own fault

games What sight to see the chess-board
In the distant corners of the field, behold those
lofty castles, on whose battements the watchful
sentinel is guarding against the movements of a
cunning foe. Methinks from the top of that lof-

robes, and. breathing forth prayer for their be-
loved majesties, they too rush forth Next comes

her spouse, and an ornament to the assembled

The Queen, the labor of whose life is love, be-

A Little History Of Little Woman.

There is little woman in San Francisco
whose history in the past few years is to some
extent illustrative of the beauties of our divorce
law, and therefore worthy republication. Four
years ago she married gentleman whom for
convenience we shall designate as husband No.
l. She soon became dissatisfied with her bar
gain, and by hook or by crook, managed to get
a divorce, and married husband No. q She
lived for some time with No. 2, but after while
began to regret having been divorced from No.
l. She got divorce from No. 2, and actually
REMARKED No. 1. She remained with No. for
several months, until an unpleasant family diff
Guilty took place, when she obtained second
divorce from him and married No. 8. Her con-
nection with No. lasted but very little while.
She was divorced from him-he left the State
and she married No. 4. No. not being a
very good natured individual, treated our hero
inc badly, in fact abused her until his conduct
became unbearable. Happening to fall in with
No. 2, the lady complained of No. 4 and that
gentleman promised that No. should be un-
mercifully thrashed. He was thrashed so thor
oughly by No. 2, on Montgomery street, that he
was confined to his bed for three week. The
lady (?) is now living with No. 2, though she has
not obtained divorce from No. A. This is lit
eral truth, without word of establishment

Morning Meditetions.

Let Taylor preach, upon morning breezy
How well to rise while nights and larks are flying,
For my part, getting up seems not so easy
By half as lying.
What if the lark does carol in the sky,
Soaring beyond the sight to find him out
Wherefore am | to rise at such q fly?
I'm not trout.
Talk not to me of bees and such-like huns,
The smell of sweet herbs at the morning prime
Only lie long enough, and bed becomes
A bed of time.
To me Dan Phebus and his car are naught,
His steeds that paw impatiently about
Let them enjoy, say I, as horses ought,
The first turnout
Right beautiful the dewey maids appear
Besprinkled by the rosy-fngered girl;
What then-if prefer my pillow-beer
To early pearl?
NV stomach is not ruled by other mems,
And, grumbling for reason, quantity begs
Wherefore should master rise before the hens
Have laid their eggs?
Why from comfortable pillow start
To see faint hushes in the east awaken?
A fig, say l, for any streaky part,
Excepting bacon.
An early riser Mr.. Gray has drawn,
Who used to haste the dewey grass among,
TO meet the sun upon the upland lawn
Well-he died young.
With charwoman such early hours agree,
And sweeps that earn betimes their bit aud sup
But I'm no climbing boy, and need not be
All up-all upl
So here lie, my morning calls deferring
Till something nearer to the stroke of noon =
A man that's fond precociously of stirring,
Must be spoon.-Uood.

Vermont. June lst, 1901. My father and family
removed to Smyrna. Chenango county, N. Y,

lived in that place until 1913. Shortly after the
commencement of the late war with Great Brit
ain, my father and his family removed to the
town of Genoa, Cayuga county, N. Y, in which
town lived until 1929. l then moved to Men,
don, Monroe county, and in 1880 removed from
thence to No. 9Canandaigua, into small house
owned by Jonathan Mack, situated on the west
side of the road, opposite to where Mr. Mack
then lived helped to finish his new house, so

JAPANESE GARDENERs.-The gardeners in Ja-
pan display the most astonishing art The plum
aree, which is great favorite, is so trained and
cultivated that the blossoms are as big as those
OF dahlias. Their great triumph, however, is to
bring forth plants and trees into the compass of
the little gardens attached to the houses in the
cities. With this view they have gradually
succeeded in dwar6ng the fig, plum and cherry
trees and the vine to a stature so diminutive as
scarcely to be credited by European and yet
those dwarf trees are covered with blossoms and
leaves. Maylon, whose work on Japan was
published at Amsterdam in 1890, states that the
Dutch agent of commerce in Magazine, was Of

ANOTHER HARD-SHELL BAPTIST SERMoN.-The
following is but portion of sermon preached
from the text-"And there shall be ,chaleing and
smashing of teeth"
BRETHREN AND SIsTERN Those beggin
Methodists remind me of good ole wdder
man that lived down in 'Catur county, that had
an ageable hen-ah. Well this ole blue, long
legged Shang- high hen laid from twelve to
dozen eggs, and laid from day to day, and final
ly went to settin'-ah. She sat and set and sat
and the Lord knows if she'd sot any longer, the
chicken lice would have ct her clean up-ah-
She Matched off her little brood, as it were, and
the old lady fed them high on dough-ah. In
those days, as the Scripters say, a forked-tail
hawk came sailin' along, as it were-ah, and this
poor ole sister was left to weep and sigh-ah.
. And there shall be achaling and smashing of
teeth" Those Methodists will have distracted
meetin', as it were-ah. And there they'll take
them in one by one-ah, and day by day, till
they get them allah. Pr'aps they'll take in
the whole settlement on what they call proba-
tion-ah. They'll shout and sing preach, pray
and beg-ah. Before the six months are out,
the devil will come along like roarin' lion-ah,
and take them off one by one, down, down to
everlasting perdition, like the hawk did the ole
woman's chickens-ah, "And there shall be
whaling and smashing of teeth"

from revival meeting, and compelled her to go
home with him. He let the story travel along
until he had fair opportunity to give it
broadslde Upon being charged with the offence
he replied as follows
" In the first place. have never attempted to
influence my wife in her views in a choice of
meeting. Secondly.-my wife has not attended
any of the revival meetings. In the third place
i have not even been to any of the meetings
whatever. To conclude-neither nv wife nor
myself have any inclination TO go to these meet
