One of the buildings of the Luzernc
Powder Company, ut Wilkesbarre, Pa,
recently took fire and was burned to
the ground. Although some 400
pounds of powder were in the premises,
no explosion took place, and all the
workmen escaped without injury
Loss 5000. This Company is working
under the patents of Paul a. Oliver,
who has made valuable improvements
in the quality of powder and in the
machinery for its manufacture, where
by safety to workmen is secured, a
stronger explosive is produced, and
the prime cost lessened. This powder
does not develop explosive properties
until IT lmped or confined where it is to
act, and then its power is enormous
But when exposed in loose condition
or in kegs it burns slowly without cN-
plOsion.

The Memphis Ledger gives the fol-
lowing facts relative to tho recent
death of Cornelius Il. Carmack in
Hawkins county, East Tennessee 1t
seems that he was preparing to ride
into the town OF Rogersvillc, and was
helping himself to u lunch, when he
got hold of piece of bread which had
been medicated for poisoning rats, but
had not yet been used for that purpose.
He lived only about twelve nours after
the accident. He was much respected
farmer, near eighty years If age, and;
what is remarkable, died beneath the
same roof under which he was born,
never having crossed any other door
as the threshold to his home. He gave
five sons TO the South in her late strug-
gle, only two of whom survived, one
ofthem being Judge John NJ. Carmack,
Of Memphis.

Every PAaEOF dAss:sAHoLE TO HElT.

The sentence which forms the cap
ton of this article we remember from a
popular lecture on heating and warm
ing buildings, delivered by man who
has done much towards educating the
American public on matters OF domes-
tic economy and hygiene.
Some OF our correspondents are ask
ing for information upon the subject
OF how the solar rays get through panes
of glass withous heating them. Even
in the coldest weather when the glass
is below zero in temperature, the heat
of the sun passes in, and-wc may also
add-the radient heat of room passes
out more or less, without material al
tering the temperature of the glass.
The ultimate cause of the phenome-
non, which, me may say, is not con-
fined to glass alone, is not yet under
stood, although it is doubtless depen-
dent upon the molecular structure of
the glass. The proprieties of bodies
by which they permit heat rays TO pass
| through their structure freely Is call
ed diathermancy. This property glass
possesses in far less degree than
many other substances.
The most remarkable diathemanous
solid is rock salt. 1t permits heat
| from all sources TO pass as readily
through it as light passes through
glass, and hence it has been called the
-" glass of heat AS rule the most
! dinthcrmanous bodies are transparent
substances of little density, such as air
and the gases. On the contrary, tran. :
parent substances of great density Il-
terfere with the passage OF heat.
Among these may be classed glass
tock-crystal. alum, water, heavy OILS
etc.
Those bodies which intercept the
passage OF heat are called athermanous
but The terms diathermanous and
athermanous are very definite IN thell
application, except when applied L
bodies which transmit or intercept
heat in marked degree.
one of the most powerful atherman-
Gus bodies Is alum. The substance ID
as remarkable in atherlnanous quality
as rock salt is in its opposite character
in this respect. Alum, although it b'
made into a very thin plate, transmits
very little heat from any source, al
though It docs not intercept light t(
any great extent. a piece or smoked
quartz permits heat 10 pass quite free
~, although scarcely any light cal
penetrate 1t. On the contrary, sui
pnalc OF copper lhoubh ~ pSl hil'e Wv
passage OF blue rays of light freely
almost totally intercepts the passage o
heat.
These facts are well established 10y
experiment, and great many other
OF IA similar character might be men
toned.
The formation of any good theor.
as TO the causes of diathormancy ant
athermancy Is rendered more dlilicul
10y the very peculiar notifications IN
the power of heat transmission conse
quent upon the source from which tn
heat Is derived.
Thus while glass allows solar heat 4
pass without difficulty, and while, II
above stated, IL does not become heate'
, In the rays of the sun, it will in gTea
measure intercept heat derived iron
terrestrial sources, and become heated

AN EXTRAORDINARY THEORY.
Can Llse be Indefinitely Suspended.


A distinguished Swedish Chemist,
DIR. Grusselbach, professor ofthe Uni
versity of Upsal, has come to the con-
clusion that those Egyptian mummies,
which are found in the ancient tombs
on the Nile in n complete state-that
is to say, without having been depri-
we'd of their brains and entrails, like
most mummies-are not embGlmed at
all, but "are really the bodies of indi-
viduals whose life hes been momenta-
rily suspended, with the intention of
restoring them at some future time,
only the secret of preservation was
lost. Prof Grusselhach adducCs many
proofs in support of his idea-among
others, his experiments during the last
ten years, which, he says, have always
proved successful. He took II snake
and treated it in such manner Us to
benumb it as though it had been
carved in maj BILE anu it was so brittle
that. had he allowed it 20 fall it would
have broken into fragments. Ia this
state he kept it for several Years, and
then restored it to life by sp:inkling it
with a stimulating fluid, the compost
| ton OF which is secret. For fifteen
years the sILlNc has been undergoing
am existence composed OF successive
deaths and resuTCctions, apparently
| without sustaining harm. .hc Pro-
fessor is reported TO have sent peti-
ton to his government, requesting
that criminal, who has been condom-
ned to death may be given to II IN TO
be Treated in the same manner as the
snake, promising TO restore him to lie
again III two years. 1T is understood
that the man undergoing this cXl c. j.
ment Is to be parGohcL." OF course, il

UNIVERSAL AMNESTY.
In an interview to-day with Sena-
tor Boreman, of West Virginia, and
Senator Johnston, of Virginia, the
President remarked that he had pre-
pared n special message to Congress
recommending law granting univer-
sal amnesty TO all persons who partici-
pated in the rebellion. He suggests
that the law provide that all who de-
sire amnesty may obtain the same by
making application 10 the nearest
court, taking suitable oath and OBJ
tanning certificate thereof. Senator
Boreman intimnted that he was not in
the favor of universal amnesty. There
are some who We're engaged in rebel
lion that he would not pardon. The
President replied that he would make
no exceptions, and that when Georgia
and Texas are admitted he will send
message TO Congress. Senator John
ston remarked that the passage Of law
Of general amnesty would do moro TO
reconcile the differences and remove the
asperities growing out of the late war
than any one act that can be suggested.

THE MANNERS AND APPEARANCE
OF CHIF JUSTICE CHASE. Let Us
glance around these rooms, and see
whom we can see. In all this throne
of heroes, statesmen, Cabinet minis
tiers, and Senators, there is one form
pre-eminently prominent, and that is
the grand form of Chief Justice
Chase. His noble face reflects tho
true nobility of his soul. 1t is the
head of Webster, with Webster
massive stenness softencd in to th'
most engaging benevolence. Such
form and such face would grace
ay. honorary palace in the world
Perhaps there is not public man il
America with so many warm persona
friends as the distinguished Chic
Justice of the United States. N
person can approach him without so
ing away pleased; his cordiality win
all hearts. 1t was said of Marlbor
ough that ii was greaterpleasure to b
refused favor by him than to receiv
favor from any other man. This ma
be said with greater truth of the Chic
Justice, fer whether he grants or re
fuses a favor, 1t is done with peUe'
sincerity; that is more than can b
