4 Few Things That Are to Be.

Before 1900, science and art will
have so advanced as to have effected
complete revolutions in many of the
industrial processes and methods of
securing health, comfort and conven-
ience to the human race. Vast gas
manufactures will be found in all the
great cities and towns, in which the
invisible agent will be manufactured
solely for the purpose of cooking the
food and warming the dwellings of
the inhabitants. These works will be
independent of those established for
making Illuminating gas. 1t will not
be necessary to purify the fuel gas so
fully, and it will, in most places, be
made from wood. The cost will be so
low, and the convenience so great,
other kinds of fuel will in a great
measure be dispensed with. No ashes,
no smoke, no dust-what a glorious
realization this will be! At that time
the air, the earth and the seas will be
full of conducting wires, and electric
currents will flow in every direction.
A new order of things will prevail
in our post offices. The click of the
telegraph instrument will be heard in
Sltdu vi EllC VI NlAC lOCh MhACh
closes up the wide mouths of the mail
bags. The small sum of ten cents
(perhaps less) will place correspond
ents in instant communication with
each other, no matter how widely
they may be separated. Although the
industrial arts will have enormously
increased, less steam power will be
employed. Electrical or some other of
the hidden forces of nature will be
harnessed to the primary moving
wheels of the great manufacturing
establishments, and smoke and vapOr
will no longer mark their location to
the distant traveller. The sick will
not be required to swallow disgusting
doses of medicine. Remedies will be
administered through other avenues
than the stomach. Chemistry will
have eliminated the vital, active
principles from all curative agents
and, through the cellular subcutane-
Gus coverings, and by other at present
close doors of access, the influence OF
therapeutic agents will be brought to
bear directly upon diseased parts.-
Light will be let in upon nearly all
the organs of the body, so that the
physician can observe the extent and
nature of disease, and no longer be
compelled to diagnose in the dark.
The publishers of this and other
journals will perhaps be able to issue
simultaneous editions in all the great
central cities of the country. A
knowledge of practical science will be
more generally diffused among the
people, elevating and improving the
masses, and consequently rendering
them happier, healthier and better
fitted for the duties and responsible
ties of life.-Boston Journal of Chem

Open Polar Sea.

The question of the existence of an
open polar sea in the iee-bound north
has many disputants, pro and contra.
The views held by many writers
are for the most part speculative; yet,
if the declarations of those Arctic
explorers who penetrated farthest to
the north and brought back some
definite information relative to the
scenes with which their perilOus
researches brought them in contact,
are to be received as worthy Of our
confidence, some credit must be given
to the opinion that an open polar sea
does exist. Cgpt. Parry, as early as
1870, penetrated to nearly S3o north
latitude, and found, not an unbroken
field of ice as would be at so, high a
latitude, but separate foes with
more or less open water between
them. The damage sustained by his
vessels amid this floating ice induced
his return. Parry found the temper
ature along the western shore of
Spitzbergen unexpectedly mild, even
rain falling now and then. DR.. Kane
in 1855, penetrated little beyond S10,
and found evidences sufficient to
warrant him, in his report of his
expedition to the Navy Department
of the United States, to state that he
had discovered a large channel to the
northwest, free from ice, and leading
into an open and expanding area
equally free from ice. This open sea
he states he beheld from a promOn-
tory 240 feet high, and to use his own
words, "a gale from the northeast OF
fifty-fOur hours duration, brought
heavy swell from that quarter with
out disclosing any drift or other ice"
The statements of Parry and Kane
are the most definite of Arctic ex-
plorers on the subject of an open
polar sea. But even. were its exist
ence a fact, the impossibility Of its
use for naval purposes is apparent on
account of the dangers surrounding

CORRY O,L,ANUs ON BOYS.

Some things may be said in favor of
boys some trades would not 1--we
without them. The glass to putin
men wouldn't have much to do, and
putty would be on the decline, if there
were no boys to break the windows.
There would be no customers for
the cast-iron peaches and green apples
which come early in the season; but
for the boys the doctors wOuldn' have
so much to do in curing cases OF chol-
era mOrbus arising therefrom.
Boys can be useful When they have
a mind to, and can sell newspapers,
black boots, hold horses and do chores
In printing offices the boys are
known as devils-printers have q
plain way way of speaking.
Boys individually are better than
boys collectively.
If there were only one boy in the
world, 1 think he would be a good
boy; it generally takes at least two
boys to get up mischief.
Have one boy in a store and you
have him useful.
Hire a second boy, and their time
will be chiefly devoted to chasing one
another over the counter, and firing
the dust brush and directory at each
others heads.
A boy begins to be a nuisance when
he is eight years old. How soon he
grows out of it depends on circum-
stances. Some never do.
It is questionable whether boys lead
an enjoyable existence. They would
like to have their own way a little
more, and a pretty way it would be.
Give boy a chance of all Occupa-
tions in life, and the chances are that
he would prefer either to be a Robin
son Crusoe on a desert Island, or a
captain of band of robbers, such as
he had read about, and seriously
thinks of going into one or the other Of
these desirable occupations when he
gets to be a man. He has great re-
spect for stage driver and the cap
tain of a canal boat-there IS an idea
of command in these positions that
takes his ideas. His idea of being
a man is, having plenty of money,
doing what you please, and being able
to smoke or chew tobacco without
getting sick over it.
Some body wrote a song "Would 1
were boy again" Those who had
the bringing up of him are not likely
to have the same sentiment. Raising
q boy once is as much as anybody
wants to undergo, and fortunately,
when they once grow up they stay
growed up, and have children Of their
own to afflict them.

Test for Illuminating Petroleum.

The Cory, (Pa.,) Kerosene Oil
Works recommend the following as a
simple manner of determining the
fire test of kerosene oil: "Take a cup
or tumbler, fill it nearly full of water
previously tested by the thermOm-
eter to be 11Oo or l110 Fab. then take
tablespoonful full of the oil, of
which it is desirable to test the ignit-
ing point, immerse it in the water,
and stir for moment or two to per-
NIT the oil to reach the equal temper
ature of the water, pass q lighted
match very closely over the surface of
the oil once, which always floats on
the water. If it does not ignite, it
can be safely used, but if it does ignite
discard it, how ever low the price
may be this is q fair and sure test as
far as safety is concerned. The other
so desirable point-does the oil burn
brilliantly and without eharring the
wick,-the experience Of every family
will soon detect. Something depends
upon the wick, and something upon
the lamp; but properly manufactured
oil is the main thing needed"

THE CHRONICLE.
THE GUEST.
BY ANNA L. JOHNSON.

He came unbid: know not where,
This wondrous guest, unknown before;
All silent and unseen he came
Within my door.
He gently heals my lifelong pain,
He charms the frequent tears away,
And all my grief from me beguiles,
And still Will stay.
Sweet thoughts arise and eager climb,
Like birds that sing in upper air,
The song that close to Heavens nigh gates
Becomes prayer.
Yet halfI fear his tender wiles;
Oh, tardy Love, too late delayed!
Nv coward heart shrinkS back in doubt,
And hides, afraid,
And fain would trust, but questions still ;
Too late delayed! too long foriorn!
Can night so darksome break so soon
To such fair morn?
Not for pale brows and faded hair,
Oh, Love, do thy red roses blow;
Take back thy crown, weeping cry
He doth not go;
But fingers still and fingers yet,
And bears him in such winning wise,
Such holy benedictions shine
In his dear eyes.
/ can but trust. I can but list
The winged hopes that softly sing;
Cancelled at last mine ancient wrong,
And Love is king.

A tooth of Sir Isaac Newton's was
sold in 1861 for the sum of ESQ. 1t
was purchased by a nobleman, who
had it set in a ring which he wore
constantly on his finger. The prayer
book used by King Charles l., when
on the scaffold, was sold in London,
in 1925, for 100 guineas. The hat
worn by Napoleon Bonaparte at the
battle Of Eylau, was sold in Paris, in
1885, for ], ,925 francs about ESQ. The
two pens employed in signing the
treaty of Amiens were sold in 1875
for $500. The pens used in Paris for
signing the treaty of peace, concluded
after the Russian war, were presented
to the Empress Eugenie, by whom
they have no doubt been carefully
preserved. A wig that belonged to
Sterne was sold at public auction in
London for 200 guineas.

THE DESPONDENT.

To some this world is dark and lone
They see no sun above:
They see the dust upon the ground
They do not see the grove.
Remind them that the sky is fair;
And that the day is bright
The'll shake their heads, and family say /:
Each day must have night"
You point them to the flowers that bloom,
And bid them note their stay:
They love their fragrance and their hue
But then, they soon decay.
They love the days that spring-time brings,
And feel the summers glow;
But then they dread the fall-time rains,
And fear the winters snow.
To them this life is strife and pain
Beyond this life is gloom
They see no softening, heavenly light
They only see the tomb.
