A CURE FOR NEURALGIA, HEAD, FACE,
TOOTH OR Jaw ACHEs.-About ten yers ago,
writes correspondent of the Builder, was
laid up with an excruciating neuralgic head
ache, which seemed to encircle the ear of
that side of the head alone affected. The
idea that the headache had something to do
with the ear as centre occurred to me, al
though in the ear itself there was no pain.
had little almond oil, and also spirits,
dropped into the ear, but without any good
effect; when the thought suggested itself
that perhaps little of the anesthetic ether
mot the nitric,) might do good, by deaden-
ing the nervous pain. / had some drops of
rectified sulphuric ether, therefore, put into
my ear, and, in the course of half an hour,
my headache was entirely gone have since
found, both from my own occasional expert
ence, and that of others, that ether so ap-
piled, is, in nearly all cases, an effectual cure
for those very painful headaches, faceaches,
jawaches, and toothaches, which are COM
monty known as neuralgic and rheumatic
If very severe case, two or three days may
elapse, during which the pain may be apt to
recur, especially from new and even slight
exposure to draughts; but repeated applica-
tions OF half dozen drops, or less, of ether,
at time, seems certain to subdue the most
violent attack, sometimes in q very few min
utes. A drop or two Of almond or olive oil
afterwards put into the ear, have thought,
tended to protect from new attack As the
ether sometimes gives pain in the ear for a
moment while being applied, single drop
should hrst OF all be carefully put in, and
then more, as the case will allow. have
never suffered the least bad effect, either in
my hearing or otherwise, from the use of
ether in this way, nor have / heard of any
from others who have tried 1t at my recon-
mendation.-Erch.

natural science. Although the engineer OF
the Necddd has made seventy trips along this
coast, and been fifteen years here in constant
service, he confessed to having seen nothing
comparable. So, too, said our experienced
officers. And whatever may be the opinions
on the subject, 1t is at least true Of Capt
Kelley that he came so near going sup a
spout" or down-it is immaterial which
that he has no desire to try 1t again.
In regard to a controverted topic, desire,
in this place, only to quote the authority of
Professor Brocklesby, of Trinity College,
Hartford, Ct, who says, Of water spouts !:
The torrents Of rain by which this phe-
nomenon is often accompanied, can be fully
accounted for by the rapid condensation of
vapor that occurs when the warm, humid air
of the sea flows inward to the vortex Of the
whirl, and these combine with the cold air
of the upper regions of the atmosphere,
which descends to fill the partial void"
This view is somewhat opposed to the
commonly accepted theory that the heavy
volumes of water which fall from spouts are
originally drawn up from the sea by the ro-
tary motion of whiriwind, in obedience TO
the law that nature abhors a vacuum. And
the fact that water falling from q spout is
known to be fresh, so far as observations
have extended, tends further to corroborate
the views of the Hartford scientist. At the
same time, it would be difficult to convince
the passengers on the Nevddd that they did
not see volumes of water, perhaps many tons
in the aggregate, drawn up from the surface
Of the sea into the whirling vortex that
swept over it so furiously.
Before closing, it should here be added
that the disappearance of this spout was
followed by heavy wind and rain, giving
premonitions of "tearing gale" as re-
marked by our ships captain, but there
proved to be no cause for serious alarm. 1t
was also observed that the course of the
spout was across a strip of deeply discolored
water, extending seaward from the coast of
Guatemala, supposed to be the effect of vol
canic action.
The statements above given coincide with
the observations of all our ships company,
and can be affirmed by Capt. Kelly, or any of
the passengers.
Respectfully, WIN. H. HALLoCK.

LANDS PoR THE PooR.--June 14th, the bill
throwing open the public lands of the South
TO the poor whites and blacks, became a law.
1t is expected TO work an important revolu-
tion. The quantity of surveyed, unsold,
public land, all of which will become sub
ject to entry by actual settlers under the
bill, was, in February last: In Arkansas,
9,29S, OLE acres; in Alabama, 6, 732, ,05S; Flor
ida, 10, ,379, ,635; Louisiana, 6,22S, l02, and in
Mississippi, 4, 760 737, or total Of 46, ,39S 544
acres. OF, course, not all of this domain is
capable of cultivation. But most of it is,
according to the records of the General Land
Office, and it will afford homes to hundreds
of thousands of settlers. 1t is estimated that
no less than 500 600 acres of arabic land
will be thrown open to the landless people
of the solth- This will give 375, 900, home
steads, allowing five persons TO a family.
Means of independent support will be thus
afforded to no less than !, ,S75, 600 persona

POPULAR MAGNETIsM.-We have received
paper read before the American Institute
by John A. Parker, on " Polar Magnetism, u
which is, at all events, an ingenious and
original discussion ofa subject which pos
sesses not only scientific but pratical interest.
The main topic of the paper is the revolu-
tion of the magnetic pole around the north
pole. The fact of this revolution is certainly
established. In 1880 the magnetic pole was
situated on a meridian forty-five degrees east
of Greenwich. In 1858 it was on the meri-
dian of Greenwich. Iu 1870 it was seventy
degrees west of that point, and is now put
by Mr.. Parker at one hundred and eighteen
degrees west of Greenwich. Assuming. to
account for this regular progress westward,
that magnetism is u universal principle Mr.
Parker accounts for the revolution of the
Magnetic pole as caused "by magnetic at
traction to the highest centre or system to
which the earth in her various revolutions
is Immediately related" The direction of
the needle only indicates the line of attrac-
tion, aud not an absolute magnetic pole
Mr.. Parker regards polar magnetism as
simply the result of a magnetic force, which
is rendered active by revolution, and % Identi-
fies itself with that force which astronomers
call the attraction of gravitation, a force
known to exist, but for which no satisfactory
cause has ever been assigned"
According to his theory magnetic attrac-
ton, or the ATTRACTION of grayitation," in
revolving bodies,, is the opposite of that
centrifugal force created by their revolution,
and always equal to it. The magnetic pole
revolves around the polar axes OF the earth
in the same time in which the earth, together
with the solar system, performs a complete
revolution relatively to that system around
which the sun itself rcvolves, and this period
Mr.. Parker estimates at six hundred and
forty years.
Such is the theory of Mr. Parker, evil
IDENTIFY the result of much reflection, and
supported and illustrated with great ability.
Without diagrams it cannot be readily made
clear, but we have given enough to Indicate
the bearing of his speculation.-N Y Post
