Professor Doremus once placed linen
handkerchief in the explosive condition OF
gun cotton, and threw it into the wash.
Bridget washed, dried. and sprinkled it
ready for ironing, without suspicion, OF
its character The'moment she placed the
hot iron upon it, the handkerchief vanished
into thin air, nearly frightening the poor
girl out of her senses. Had this occurred
an age ago, the professor would have

-Magnesia crucibles are proposed for
obtaining compact steel or iron, free from
the bubbles which are due to the action OF
the carbon on the SILICA of the ordinary
crucibles. Lime crucibles for the same
purpose may be formed within the ordina-
ny clay crucible, by first ramming the lat
ter with plumbago, then turning out the
plumbago to thin shell, then ramming
with caustic lime and turning the proper
cavity. Theuse of the plumbago between
the clay and the inner shell is to prevent
the melting of the latter from contact with
the clay in the furnace.
AT the annual meeting of the Swedish
Academy of Science, NJ Nordensklold an
announced that discovery of great value
to geological science has been made in the
hill of Nullaberg, in Sweden. A large de-
post of bituminous gneiss, thirty three
metres in thickness, has been found i'm
bedded in layers of gneiss and mica schist.
1t is composed, in addition to felspar,
quartz and MICA of n black substance IKE
coal, containing carbonated hydrOgen-ln
fact, real organic substance, formed of
the remains of of plants or animals coeval
with the deposit. He added that there
could be no doubt as to the antiquity and
geological situation of the strata of Nulla-
berg ; infiltration was impossible The in
ference to be deduced was that the crystal
line stratified rocks of Scandinavia were
formed when there existed animated crea-
lures, but at time long anterior to the pc
period when life is supposed to have first
existed on the earth.

Theodore Tilton has been looking into
New York by gas-light, and dares not tell
all that he saw. He says of what he did {:
ain company with several well-known
public men, and under the guidance of the
police, we made a tour, last Saturday night,
through the nethermost haunts of misery,
vice and crime in the city of New York.
connected with public affairs, either by
civil or by editorial duty, ought, if possible,
to make at least-once in his life. Born in
New York, and having always either re-
sided or labored within it, we never saw or
knew our own city until last Saturday
night Never until then had we any ade-
ouate conception of its poverty, its squalld-
ness of its villainy, of its debauchery, of
it's leprosy The night can never be for
gotten! The story, even if we had the
heart to tell it, must, for decency's sake,
remain untold. We can only say that none
of the familiar descriptions had adequately
prepared us for. the actual scenes. We
were shocked, COMPOUNDED, sickened! And
as we now look back upon the awful reve-
lations of that one nights descent into
hell, we can hardly persuade ourselves
that what we saw was a reality; it seems
hldeous dream"
