and intimately acquainted with L. Leonidas Ham,

schools, and, during such extensive experience,
he fully rcaGzed tho iuadequscy of the ordinary
treatment made Use Of in all chronic diseases,
moro especially that class of trouble arising from
derangcd functions OF tho Liver and digestive
organs. He at once set himself about the study
of the class of diseases determined to make them

Messages from the Dead.

The recent colliery explosion in Saxony
was accompanied by one of the most terri
bic incidents ever recorded in connection
with these fearful calamities The miners
were not all killed instantly, as was at first
supposed, some of them being unharmed
by the explosion and dying slowly by suf-
location. Some of these poor fellows oc-
cupied the last moments of their lives in
writing messages in their notebooks to
their wives and children, and these were
found when the bodies were discoy-
cred. These men, in the very pres
ence of death, had thoughts for every
one but themselves. ''Dear wife" writes
one of them, ''take good care of Mary; in
a book in the bedroom you will find
thaler. Farewell, dear mother and sisters,
till we meet again" One by the name of
Schmidt had pinned paper to the breast
of his blouse, on which he hal written the
following words: "My dear relations,
while seeing death before me, remember
you. Farewell till we meet again in hap
piness." A miner named Bahr wrote in
his notebook: This is the last place
where we have taken refuge. I have given
up all hope, because the ventilation
has been destroyed in three separate
places. May God take myself and my rel
atives and dear friends who must die with
me, as well as our families, under His pro-
lection" Another had written: "Janetz
has died. Richter left his family TO God.
Farewell, dear wife; farewell, dear child
rem; may God keep YOU" One only ut
tered a complaint, and it was not a violent
one: Farewell, dear wife and children;
did not think it would end SO. Oberman. 4"
These brief messages, written in the actual
presence of death while yet the writers
were in the possession of full physical
health, are pathetic beyond description.

Iuuar Heat.

Lord Rose has been measuring, SAYS
Once Week, the heat that comes to us
from the moon. Using one of his great
rejecting telescopes as burning mirror
he has condensed the moons rays upon
on of the most delicate of heat gaugers-a
therino-pile. Without being able to deter
mine by what fraction of a Fahrenheits
degree the lunar warmth increases the tenn
perature of the terrestrial atmosphere, he
has found, as an approximation, that the
radiation from the moon is about the nine
ty-thousandth part of that from the sun.
He conceives that the variation of heat
from one satellite follows the same
law as that of its light, viz, that
we have most warmth from
the full moon, and least from the nearly
new. By comparison with the terrestrial
source of heat, Lord Rosse estimates the
actual temperature of the moons surface at
lunar midday to be about five hundred de-
grees Fahrenheit This scorching results
from the slow rotation of the moon, which
makes its day equal to our month, and from
the absence of any atmosphere to screen
the lunar world. Years ago Sir John Her
schel, who has more than once proved him
self prophet by his sagacious inferences,
remarked that ''the surface of the full
moon exposed to us must necessarily be
very much heated, possibly to q degree
much exceeding that of boiling water"

Burning Of the Propeller Boscobel.

from the Detroit Free Press. 4th.
Ihe news was received here by tele n,raph
early yesterday forenoon, that the fine pro-
peiler Boscobel, belonging to the Northern
Transportation Company. and plyino he
tween Buffalo and Chicago, had been de.
stroyed by fire on st. Clair river. at a no;nt
about three miles below the city of that
name. Later particulars were received
during the day, and some facts were also
cleaned from the Captain of the Canisteo.
which boat arrived here OF o'clock in the
afternoon.
The Boscobel passed this point ON
Thursday night about IL O'Clock, taking on
neither freight nor passengers, and only
stopping long enough to throw on supply
of wood at Bissells dock The vessel took
FIRE from her furnaces, and the flames
caught quickly and burned upward very
rapidly, rs the engineer and fireman were
driven out OF the hold with their clothes on
fire. In their torture thu jumped over
board, and during the excitement and sur
prise, were left to drown. The second en-
gineer, George Ruehle, who was on duty at
the time, was son of Alderman Ruehle,
of this city, and the father passed up on
the steamer Dove yesterday to ascertain
further particulars, and to endeavor to Sc
cure the body.
The names of the other men lost could
not be ascertained, though it is known that
the fireman lost is .. native of this city.
while the assistant then on duty resided at
Buffalo. There were ten passengers on
board, but the boat was headed for the
Canada shore, and ran to the bank in time
to land them and the balance of the crew.
She was still burning at noon yesterday, "
ing stern on to the bank, and the propeller
Free State was anchored near by, to which
were being transferred the passen-
gers and such of the goods as had
been saved. Most of the per-
sonal effects were lost. The Boscobel was
one of the staunchest boats on tia line,
very large and her loss at this season of the
year will be severely felt by the company.
She was loaded with eighty tons of general
merchandise, consigned almost wholly to
Chicago merchants, not pound of which
was saved. She also had on board one
hundred and seventy tons of pig iron. The
boat lies so near the bank that the wreckers
can easily recover the iron, but the boat
itself is total loss. She was commanded
by Capt. j. p. Hodges, whose wife was
passenger on the trip.
