Gibraltar and Ceutak

Admiral George Grey, Of the British
Navy who was for tea years captain of
the port Of Gibraltar, writes to the LOn-
don Times advocating a eession Of that
fortress to the Spaniards, provided the
latter will give Ceuta, a seaport on the
opposite African mainland, to England.
Gibraltar, he says, is exposed to south
west gales, and has no wharfage, and is
therefore Of no use in time Of war either
for eoaling, re6tting, or refuge, the only
safe anchorage being commanded from
innumerable points; while in time Of
peace it would be as useful in Spanish
hands as it is now Ceuta, on the other
hand, by the construction Of break
water, might be made valuable harbor,
and, moreover, could be attacked only by
sea, great point in its favor. Ceuts,
now belonging to Spain, is situated in
Morocco, seventeen miles southeast
Of Gibraltar The castle occupies the
highest point OF 4 mountain, the ancient
Abyla, and Que Of the pillars Of Her
eules, the Rock Of Gibraltar being the
other pillar, Calpe. II is situated at ono
extremity Of peninsula, and at the
other extremity, on narrow peninsula.
is built another strong citadel. Between
the two is the town. Ceuta resembles
Gibraltar, with the additional advantage
Of being supplied with water, and for
this reason could be made impregnable.
1t Was captured from the Moors, in I4l5.
BY King John, Of Portugal, passed into
the possession Of Spain in 1850, by the
union of the two countries under Philip
II, and was retained on the separation
effected in l64O BY the House Of Bra.

Museum OF Technology.

At recent meeting of the Massaehu-
sets Institute of Technology, q paper
was read on the character Of the muse
um which should be established BIZ the
Society. The writer stated that all he
collections should be made and arranged
from a strictly educational point Of view,
leaving entirely out Of the question
everything merely curious. In order 70
keep constantly in mind the educational
character of the museum and the pseu-
liar wants of the people in reference 70
the Industrial Arts, a more appropriate
name was suggested as necessary, for in
stance, A Tangible Encyclopedias Of
the Industrial Arts" Such a museum
of technology, it was stated, should con
tain among other things, working mod
els of all the elementary principles of
machinery and all their simple combina-
tions such as all varieties Of vibrating
moilOas, of cam motions, Of changing
yibTatory into circular motions, and the
reverse, Of quick and slow screw eombi-
nations so as to give speed and power, Of
eccentric gear combinations, Of reversing
motions, of pressure by means of screws,
tOggle-joiDts, cams and levers Of watch
and clock escapements; of gimbal, ball
snd-soeket, and all other universal Joints.
An author, it vas argued, has all the
elements of language, with their mean
iRgs and adaptations arranged in a die
tiOnary, but the inventor has no such
classified repertory Of the simple combi-
nations of the elements of maehiner7,
which are scattered throughout the
workshops of the world. As an in7en-
tiOn consists in a new arrangement and
combination of mechanical elements, il
would be much easier task if the in
yentor could have the known applications
of familiar principles placed within his
reach. All varieties of models of the
same class should be constructed on
convenient scale, and placed in the same
cabinet and entered in the catalogue an
der the same head Thus, all varieties
of combinations for converting Yibratory
motion into circular, should be arranged
together and properly eatalOgued, aud
other combinations in the same way.

FASHIONABLE IMMODEsTY.

| Dick French, worn roHs that he is, has
joined the school of the critic of the
Saturday Rerieic. He asserts that all
women are represented by these. He
hints that he understands the lures that
these decollete bellies put forth.
''It's cursed hard on fellow" he says.
"The extravaganza of these women
won't allow a man to marry; yet they
tempt him to do it with all the arts of
the worst Of the demimOnde" Then he
and his compeers adjust their eye.
glasses, and lean against doorways,
criticising the PAGES of the delicate
young girls who are whirling past, as a
trader might the slaves in the market
French goes too far Ny little Nelly
is not in the market; she has her secret
innocent dream of true-loYe and mar
riage some day, hid away in her heart
There is not one of French's crew whom
she would marry. When she unclothes
herself immOdestly and surrenders her
person to their touch, she has no ul-
terror purpose beyond the Intoxicating
pleasure of the moment Custom has
made her eyes familiar with indeceney-
worn away the defensive instinct of
purity with which every woman is born !;
but that is the worst that can be said of
her. Yet, if her own blood be such ice,
that the exposure Of her person, has no
power to bring a blush to her cheek,
does it matter nothing TO her that
pleased, unclean eyes rest on her, that
half of the men who look on her mis-
take her motives aud pity the degrade
ton she undergOes in her effort to please
them?
l use coarse language. The times are
coarse. The state of society which can
make SRinburne possible can bear a
few plain words without detriment to its
modesty. 1t is true that the evil is as
yet confined to our large cities. God
forbid that the fashionable fast girl of
New York or Chicago should be received
as the typical woman of America. She
bears the same proportion to the woman
of the States that the feyerish outbreak
on the face does to the whole healthy,
sweet blooded body. But this society
assumes to stand foremost in refinement
and culture, and cannot object to have
its claims tested. Besides, the feverish
taint will spread.
Men, think, have some claim to be
heard in this matter. The most debased
among them will hold one thing sacred
the honor of his wife. He has a
right to demand that it come to him
untainted. Dull and plain fellow as is
John he has right to claim from the
woman whom he marries, and from the
mother who rears her, that she shall not
have been put in the market to parade
her shape like an animal; that she shall
not have had her person handled by
every roue who frequents the ballroom
that he shall not receive her hackneyed
and brazen from Airtations; and her
mind shall be clean as that her body

AT the late meeting of the British
Association, attention was called by M.
Kohn to a process of manufacturing
steel upon the open hearth of Siemen' 5
fuFnanse, which is in successful and
economical working in England, 1t is
closely related to the idea of melting
wrought iron IN liquid pig iron, and
thereby converting the whole into steel.
The method is applicable 10 the eonyer-
sion of old scraps of wrought iron and
steel including old iron rails, into steel,
and the prime cost in England is about
S3l per ton. By processes such as this
and others recently introduced, like
Heaton's. it is believed that the cost of
steel viii soOB be not moro per ton than
the present price of iron.

AFFaHAS1srAN.-A great and bloody
battle, between Sheeri Ali and AbdooI

Affghauistan. is reported to have taken
place by the latest dispatches from In

a grandson of the late Dost Mohammsd,
one of the most celebrated Princes Of
Asia in the present century. 1t Is as
serted that this victory will result in the
permanent establishment Of the authori-

The oldest tree on record in Europe
is asserted to be the cypress of Somma,
in Loaihardy, Italy. This tree is be-
lieved to have been in existence at the
time of Julius Cesar, ~ years before
Christ, and is, therefore, 1901 years cid.
1t is 100 feet in height, and 20 feet in
circumference at one foot from the
ground. Napoleon, when laying down
his plan for the great road over the Slmp-
lon, diverged from straight hue to
avoid injuring this tree. Superior an

CERIUN, metal OF rare occurrence,
some of the salts of which are reported
TO be useful in medicine, has recently
been obtained by Woehler, German
chemist Metallic cerium, i is stated,
has a color between that of iron and
lead, and when cut and polished exhibits
a high metallic luster. It is easily hau-
mered into a thin leaf and can be cut
like lead. It's specific gravity is SO,
though this must be taken only as ap-
proximate, as the specimen tested By
Woehler was impure. The metal was
obtained in the following way: A solu-
tiOn Of the oxide Of eerium in hydrochlo-
rie acid is first mixed with equal parts OF
chloride of potassium and chloride of an
mOnium, aad after being evaporated to
dryness is fused and pured out to par
tally cool. The resi6uum is then coarse
ly pulverized and mixed, while still
warm, with pieces Of sodium, and the
whole Is thrown into a clay erucible pre-
viously heated TO redness. In this man
ner the eerium is reduced, and appears
in the Stag in the form of small pellets,
which can be collected and fused into
one mass.
