Verbun, Sat.

wonder where cid Verbum sat-
And how lie looked while sitting there,
And where he hung his SUNDAY hat,
And did he use easy chair?
Did Mrs. Verbum always look
Angelic, when her husband smiled?
And what was Verbum's favorite book,
And had the Nerbums ever a child?
Butno! the subjects wrapt in gloom,
Scant Verbum legends can trace,
Impenetrable as the tomb
The darkness is Ger all their race.
The solitary record left
And consolation comes from that
The fact that Time has not bereit
The nation OF, is Verbum sat-
-Puach.

A MINIATURE VoLoANo.-AmOng the hume
rous experiments which may be made with
Ruhmkorff's machine, there is a remarkable
one imagined by M. Chautard, Professor of
Natural Philosophical Nancy. A quantity of
flowers of sulphur is mixed with small pro.
portion of iron filings, or, better still, with
iron reduced by hydrogen, in which case it is
in quite an impalpable state; zinc and copper
filings may also be added in small quantities.
The mixture, which must be as complete as
possible, is then thrown ON pane of glass or
on dry brick, so as to form heap two OF
three centimetres high, and much longer
than it is broad. If the ends of the wires OF
Ruhmkortf's machine be now inserted lnto tne
heap, so as to be two or three centrlnetres
distance from each other, and the current
made to pass through, violent explosion OF
the mass takes place, sort of crater is formed,
whence magnificent shsayes OF hrs wlll Dc ., seen
works and like it, displaying different colors.
Il is in reality miniature volcano, with sub
terraneau noises, and election Of boiling lava.
