The committee making the report
state that they exposed a glass slide
on an elevated position, and that
some of the meteoric matter was de-
posted on it in the shape of hun
dreds of small bodies, uniform in
size and appearance, and easily dis
tinguished from dust and other OBJ
jects found in the atmosphere.
These bodies were spherical, and

number OF air-cells IN the human lungs
amount to no less than six hundred
millions" According to DIR. Hales, the
diameter of each of these may be reckon

Professor Weber, the diameters vary be-
tween the 10Th and the 200th of an inch.
Now, estimating the internal surface Of

A BUFFALO ROMANCE.
The Buffalo Express tells the fc

The Buffalo Express tells the fol-
lowing story:
''In one of the boarding houses
upon the east side of Main street,
there occurred a singular incident
last Monday night. A very respec-
table young gentleman and refined
young lady, who had resided III the
house for over six months as single
persons and mere acquaintances,
suddenly announced to their fellow
boarders that they were man and
wife, and had been SO for some
time. The following little circum-
stance the young gentleman related
as to the cause Of their secrecy:
Two or three years ago he had
boarded in the family of very
wealthy old gentleman at Nashville,
Tenn. This old gentleman quarrel
ed with his wife, and having taken
strong liking for the young gentle
man in question, informed him that
he would will all of his property to
him on condition that he would mar
ry his only daughter. This the
young man refused to do, especially
as he knew that the daughters at
| tections were ceHtered elsewhere
than upon him. But the old gentle
man, whom i'll health had made II
rascible, stoutly asserted that unless
he would agree to the transaction he
should leave his money to some
charitable institution; and the young
man, who was not very well posted
in legal matters, thinking to do the
wife and daughter service, agreed
to the proposition, and the will was
made and the old man came to the
eastern part Of this State to receive
medical treatment. The young man
shortly afterw ards married the lady
OF his choice and came here to live,
but, as he says, in order to prevent
the old gentleman from willing his
property away to charitable institu-
tons his marriage was kept Sc
cret, and his wife andhimself lived
| together in thesame house for months
IS friends simply. Last Sunday, how
ever, a telegram was received an
nouncing the death of the old gen
tleman, and the young man, having
made over y all Of his right and
| title y to the extensive estate to
the family of the deceased, now pub
iicly announces his marriage and is
happy.

IT IS one OF the dogmas of the
modern lady that she must not do
anything for pay, and this miserable
prejudice Of senseiess conventionali-

declaring that it is just as necessary,
