Accident TO Professor Buusen
of Heidelberg.

Professor Bunsen, Heidelberg recent
ly met with a serious accident. He had
leceiTcd a large quantity Of the metals of
the platinum group, and vas engaged in
the preparation of pure rhodium. He had
precipitated large quantity of the finely
deyided metal, and had placed 1t in a
water bath to dry. Some, one carelessly
turned off the water from underline bath, so
that when Bunsen went alone to his lab
oratory at midnight he found that the
heat of the vessel had risen to three. hun
bred degrees Fahrenheit, instead of two
hundred and twelve degrees, as it would
have been had the water remained in the
bath. He approached the vessel, put
down his light, and put in one finger to
mark the condition of things. Suddenly
there wasa fearful explosion both of his
eyes were severely burned both1to his
hands We're torn into mass ofopen wounds
but he'had the presence of mind not tc
drop the platinum capsule containing the
rhodiunl, but put it back upon the furnace
before he called for help. 4
The explosion and call for assistance
were fortunately heard by the servants, and
he was Immediately carried to his dwell
ling, which was in the same building with
| the laboratory. As soon as he recovered
from the Inconsistencies following the
accident, his first words were 4" Let some
zone scrape up the rhodium from the floor
and save it. 1ssl1 b9asss sa
| 1t is known thatsome years ago Bunser
lost the use Of one eye by a similar explo
sion; 1t was now feared that the remain
ing eye had been destroyed, but upor
closer examination the physician express
ed the hope that the injury was not incur.
able. Upon hearing this, this hero o.
science exclaimed stThank God! car
now ascertain what was the condition Of
the metal when it blew up"
But the injury to this nobleman is very
serious, and it will be a long time before
he will be able to resume his scientific la
bors.
At the same time that the above infor
nation reaches us, comes also the sad In
telligence Of the death of the wife ofPro
fessor Kirchoff, the colleague ofProfessol
Bunsen and his associate in the great..dis
coveries of the spectroscope. Men who
enrich our knowledge as these two have
done are sure fthe sympathy of the whole
world when sorrow overtakes them.

Fashionable Religion.

Our Catholic brethren have set us at
least one good example; their churches
are not silent as the tomb on week days.
Their worshippers do not do up all their
religion on Sunday. It may be only for
few moments they step In through that
open church door on week day to kneel
and lay down burdens too heavy else to
be borne. I like the custom, I should
rather say the reminder, and the oppor-
tunitv thus afforded them; and heartily
wish our Protestant churces would thus be
opened. IF rich Christians object to the
promiscuous use of their velvet cushions
and gilded prayer books at least let the
aisles and the altar free to those who
need God ON the week day-for the poor,
the tired, the tempted-for these who
shrink in their shabby ihabilments, from
the Sunday exhibition of fine toilets,
and superine Christianity. Were / a

MEMS CLOTHES. Lydia Maria
Child notes the fact that q striking
change has taken place in the cos
tunes Of men. There has been an In
creasing tendency to simple oolors
and convenient forms, until at the pre-
sent time their dress is universally
transformations and useful. This is
doubtless owing to nearer and nearer
approaches in equality among man
kind. Privileged classes, who lived
on the toll of others, are disappear
ing. The complicated toggery worn
by the old nobility would be too in
convenient for merchants, manufac-
turers, mechanics, and others who
have work to do in the world Men
now pride themselves upon spending
their wealth on colleges, railroads,
steamers, and other public improve
ments, rather than upon personal
decoration. Finery is considered de-
cidedly unmannerly. And as women
become invested with larger respon-
sibilities, and become conscious of
living for more extensive usefulness,
will they not shake off the tyranny
of fashion and learn to combine
gracefulness with simplicity and con-
venience in their costume? I believe
SO; for there is the same human ma
ture in men and women, and similar
influences will produce similar results
in both. 1o
