sY The following singular facts has
been communicated to the French Acad-
envy of Sciences by M. A. Robierre, a well
known physicist. In August the city of
Nantes was visited by a violent storm.
Flashes of lightning followed each other
in quick succession, and gentleman who
happened to be crossing one of the bridges
of the Canal de Bretogne at the time,
suddenly found himselfenveloped in blaze
of light. The phenomenon lasted little
more than second, and caused no unpleas-
ant effect. On returning home the infor-
mant, having occasion to count the money
in his purse, arrived at the conclusion that
he must have received piece of fifty CEN
times instead of half Napoleon. But on
a closer investigation, he discovered, to
his establishment, that the piece of money
he had taken for silver was really the gold,
but covered with thin film of silver
The following is the explanation given by
M. A. Robierre of this strange occurrence.
The half Napoleon had been put into the
compartment of the purse adjoining that
containing silver coin. The electric fluid
volatized part of the latter metal, which,
in this state, had penetrated through the
leather partition and deposited itself on
the gold piece with remarkable uniformity.
This is the first time such an effect has ever
been observed.

THE RESULT OF AN AccIDENT.-Acci-
dent has sometimes proved the stepping
stone to success; and not the least in
teresting in the history of industrial as we'll
as abstract science are those in which some
incident, trivial in ITSELF has constituted
the turning point in the evolution of an
important principle. AS an illustration a
circumstance is mentioned, the direct re-
suit of which was the invention of the vul-
canizing process whereby India rubber is
fitted ior the numberless purposes to which
its use is now essential. After long years
ofeffort and disappointment, Charles Good
year stood apparently as far as ever from
the attainment of his object, until one day,
while in earnest conversation regarding
his proposed invention, he emphasized an
assertion by flinging away at random q
that he held in his hand. The fragment
falling upon the stove, was subjected to a
higher heat than that to which he had
ever ventured designedly to subject the
material; and when it was recovered it
was found to possess the qualities for which
he had sought so long cold could not soften
the waterproof and electic mass. And
thus sprang forth the germ of an invention
that has built up a new branch of manufac-
turing industry, given employment of
operatives, and added in myriad forms to
the convenience of lifa-, 60 -..~-.~or Vi
the General Assembly of Rhode Island once
moved to translate all the Latin phrases
in the statute so that the common people
could understand them. The exquisite
folly of such q measure was by no means
obvious to the great body of the assembly.
1t was as likely to pass as not. A good
solid argument against it would probably
have carried it through. The late Mr.. OPP
dixie took the ground that it was no advan-
tage to have the people understand the
laws. They were not afraid Of any thing
which they understood. TWAS these Latin
words that they were afraid Of "Mr.
Speaker, there was o man in South Kings
ton about twenty years ago, perfect nui-
sance, and nobody knew how to get rid of
him. One day he was hoeing corn, and he
saw the Sheriff coming with paper, and
he asked what it was. Now ifhe had told
him it was writ, what would he have
cared2 But he told him it was capias ad
satiyfaciendum, and the man dropped his
hoe and ran, and has not been heard of
since" Nor has the proposition to trans
late the Latin words in the statutes.

ROADSIDE GRAVES IN TURKEY.-The
number of graves by the roadside in Tur
key attracts the attention of travellers. A
Turkish friend, Colonel Shayin Bey, called
my attention to the circumstance, that
whereas an inhabitant is buried in the vii
lage graveyard or family graveyard, it is
the practice to bury Q stranger by the road
side. The reason is this: that the inhab.
liant is sure to profit by the prayers recited
by his relatives three times year; but in
order that the stranger, dying away from
home, may not fail Of prayers, he is buried
by the roadside; and as it is the practice
or Mussulman to recite prayer on pass
ing grave or cemetery, the stranger there
by is assured of the benefit of commemora
tive prayer. This singular act Of charity
accounts for tombs met with so constantly
in the roads, and sometimes even in the
streets. There is one in Constantinople, in
the street leading from the Custom House
to the Port, on the site OF the late great
fire.

EY- A Frenchman who had won high
rank among the men of science, yet who
denied the God who is the author of all
science, was crossing the great Sahara in
company with an Arab guide. He mott
ced, with sneer, that at certain times his
guide, whatever obstacles might arise, put
them aside and kneeling on the burning
sands, called on his God. Day after day
passed and still the Arab never failed still
at last one evening the philosopher, when
he rose from his knees, asked him with a
contemptuous smile, "how do you know
there is God2'' The Arab fixed his burn
ing eye on the scoffer for moment in won
der, and said, solemnly, allow do know
there is God2 How did know that a
man and not camel, passed my tent last
night in the darknessa Was it not by
the print of his foot in the sand9 Even
so"-and he pointed to the sun, whose last
rays were flashing over the lonely desert
"that footprint is not that of man."

W A distinguished German professor
recently announced that if drop of hui
man blood was placed under microscope
capable of magnifying it twenty million
times larger, it would show all the kinds
of animals that ever have existed, or now
exist on the earth. In the blood of q
healthy person the animals are quiet; in
that of a sick person they fight. From
this he draws the conclusion that man has
within him all the elements from which
the universe was created. He further says
that if dead cat was flung in pool of
water and left to decompose, the drops of
water would show, when under micro
scope, all the animals belonging to the cat
species.

HOsc to Fail .asEeep.

The greatpoint to be gained in order to
secure sleep, is escape from thought, es-
pecially from that clinging, tenacious, i'm
perious thought which in most cases of
wakefulness has possession of the mind. I
always effect this by the following simple
process: turn my eyeballs as far to the
right or left, or upward, or downward, as
can without pain, and thence commence
rolling them slowly with that divergence
from a direct line of vision around in their
sockets, and continue doing thus until I
fall asleep, which occurs generally within
three minutes-always within five at the
most The Immediate effect of this proce-
dure differs from that of any other I have
ever heard to procure sleep. 1t not merely
dlverts thought into new channel, but ac-
tually suspends it. Since became aware
Oh this have endeavored, innumerable
times, while thus rolling my eyes, to think
upon paticnlar subject, and even upon
that which before kept me awake, but

doubts this, let him try the experiment for
himself wish he would Jet him pause
just here and make it. venture to assure
him that, if he makes it in good faith in
the manner described, the promise of "a
penny for his thoughts" or for each of
them, while the operation is in progress,
will add very little to his wealth. Such be-
ing its effects, we cannot wonder that it
should bring sleep to a nervous and wake
full man of night. The philosophy of the
matter is very simple A suspension Of
thought is to the mind what suspension
