No more delightful travels are prin,ed in
the English language than appear perpetually
in Harper's Magazine They are read with
equal interest aud satisfaction by boys of ev-
cry grade from eli. ,hteen to eight. Its scien-
itic papers, while sufficiently profound to de-
inand the attention of the learned, ale yet
admirably adapted to the popular under
standing, and designed as much to diffuse
correct information concei ming current sci
entific discovery as it could be if it was the
organ of the " Society for the Diffusion of
Useful knowledge" The great design of
Harper's is to give correct information and
rational amusement to the great masses of
the people. There are few intelligent Amer
lean families in which Halper's Magazine
would not be an appreciated and highly
welcome guest. There is no monthly Mag
azine an intelligent reading family can less
afford to be without. Many Magazines are
accumulated. Harpers is edited. There is
not Magazh that is printed which shows
more intelligent pains expended on its arti-
c'es and mechanical execution. There is not
a cheaper Magazine published. There is not,
confessedly, more popular Magazine in the
world-NeV England Homestead

The Bazaar is excellent. Like all the peri
odicals which the Harpers publish. it is al
most ideally well edited, and the class OF
readers for whom it is intended-the moth
ers and daughters in average families-can
not but profit by its good sense and good
taste, which, we have no doubt, are to-day

A New Treatment for Pulmonary Com
sumption.

Among the proceedings Of the Cincin-
natl Academy of Medicine, published in
recent number of the Philadelphia
Medical and Surgical Reporter, we find
a paper from w. NJ. Logan, NJ. D., of
this city. FORMULATING new doctrine on
the pathology and treatment of pulmo
nary consumption. The author of this
theory shows that the arrangement Of
digestion incident TO such cases prevents
rhospbates contained in the food from
undergoing oxidation in the stomach;
but instead Of this they undergo pecu-
liar abnormal change or transformation
into gray tubercls. which become deposi
ted in the lungs, and, by acting as a for
eign or irritating substance, causes ulcer
alton, identical with the fostering coca
stoned by irritating matters in other parts
Of the body. As an improvement on
the best forms of treatment heretofore
practiced, be recommends that thirty or
forty drop doses of dilute nitric acid be
taken after each meal This medicine
has numerous virtues, few of which are
due TO its tonic, anti phosphate, anti.
pyretic and antiseptc prophecies, which
respectively tend to remedy the weakness,
tubercu!ar deposit, fever, and consump-
ton, and being the source aOhence all the
other compounds Of nitrogen are obtain
ed, it supplies nitrogen for the nutrition
of the wasting heterogeneous tissues. The
phosphates having heretofore'been among
the principal agents employed in the
treatment of this disease, as DR.. L. seems
to think, with the most damaging results,
we are glad to see that he is working an
entire revolution in the most creditable
manner the scientific attainments of its
author.
DR.. Logan claims that, in accordance
with this theory, he has treated fourteen
cases, eleven of which resulted favorably.
He dIscards alcoholic stimulants. except in
cases of extreme exhaustion. Invcntor's

1t 3as announced, some thirteen or fourteen
wears ago, that there Was good reason to be-
lieyo that hydrogen, the lightest Of the known
cascs, is really metal, and would take On the
metallic form at 3 suitably low temperature.
The chemists haro not yet been able to pro-
duce degree Of cold sufficient to make the
element take on the metallic form, as an ele-
rnent. but several months ago it was success-
fully combined with palladium, and now It ls
announced that Dr. Loew, Of tho College Of
New York has succeeded in amafgamatlnG IL
with mercury, in the propoTtiono Of $50 volumes
Of hydrogen to one OF mercury. The PROCESS
ID thus described by Dr. Low:

NOT really an amalgam OF hydrogen instead oi An

gam very rapidly, and VIC soon nave no'a1ns 'cis

THUS far, there is nothing practical IN the
;a;peoverv, hut It may lead to great things* It
ia well known that, though the chemist can re-
solve organic compounds into their inorganic
pleueuts, he has not set been able to 'lnyers
the nrocess. But it does seem probable that
tbe nnly reason for this lack Of ability ls to be
found in the fact that the chemist has not yet
learned to bring the elements together under
