Ventilation Through Single Openings.

Many people suppose that, in order
properly to ventilate room, openings
on opposite sides must be provided, so
that passage of AIR through the apart
ment may take place. This doubtless
gives a more rapid change OF air than
any other method, but it exposes the oc-
cupants to the action of currents, and
thus frequently becomes the source of
colds. That an active Interchange be-
tween the external and internal air will
go on through n single opening may be
readily shown by very simple expert
ment. Raise the lower sash of u window
in Il room otherwise closed, and let Il
person who is smoking station himself
in front OF the opening. When the
cloud of smoke is directed toward the
upper part of the open space it will be
seen to escape outward when on the
contrary it is directed toward the lower
part of the opening, it will be carried
inward and toward the floor. As long
as there is any density OF the external
and internal air, such circulation will
continue. Provided the inmates of the
apartment avoid position Immediately
adjacent to the aperture, no currents will
be felt, as the air in the other parts of
the room will be moving in much larger
masses, and at greatly reduced rate OF
sneeu

WHILE THE WAR LASTED, the Prusslan
authorities studiously refralned from
publishing their list of losses but now
that the contest is over, the truth upon
this subject is told. These losses were
terrible. In the Prussian Guard most
OF the regiments lost more than third
of their men, and the greater number of
these fell i'll ii single days fighting of st.
Privat. The Third Army Corps was al
so terribly punished in the battles OF
Spicheren and Marsla-Tour. In these
two fights the Forty-eighth Regiment
lost all but three out of GA officers and
out OF about 2, 800 men, 1,497 were kill
ed and wounded. At Orleans the Fifty
second Regiment lost 5S officers, Z en-
signs, and !, 43l men, out of about 1000
who were present for duty. At LIE
Mans the Thirty-ffth Regiment lost 46
officers. 2 ensigns, and 1867 men. In
the whole Prlssian Guard and Third
Army Corps there is not a regiment that
lost less than 40 officers and |, 200 men
While the casualties in the cavalry were
generally much smaller, the First Dra-
goons of the Guard lost more than half
its officers and q quarter of its men.

behaved more miserably than anybody
else. The fellow used quietly TO 60 and
hire the Prussians he met On the road,
for ten francs day When he had thus
four or five helmets behind him, he
went about knocking at all the doors for
miles around. Then signing, crying, he
said he was ordered by the enemy TO
reouisition horses, cows, oats, anything,
everything. The Prussians, by their
mere presence, so proved what he affirm
ed, that no one thought of resisting. At
the end of the day the cheat sold beasts
and grain to the enemy. He took care
to get from these receipts stamped and
an order, which gave him extra facilities
for continuing next day. In this style
the wretch has gained hundreds OF thou

The FIsH QUESTION The question Of
the use OF fish pounds is becoming one
of great moment on the lakes us well as
the sea-coast, aud bids fair to involve
much acrimonious controversy A con-
yeEtion OF fishermen, interested in this
subject, was held not long since at Mon
roe, Michigan. where the matter was
discussed in all its bearings. 1t was
there stated that $3.50, 900 was invested
at present in the fisheries at the western
end OF Lake Erie, and that certain an
ticipated legislation looking toward the
prohibition Of pounds would be lmpoli-
tic and unjust, and that all proper meas
ures should be taken to prevent the pas
sage Of the acts in question. II is said
that Wisconsin has passed law prohib-
iting the use Of pounds on her shores,
aud that Illinois is about to follow suit.
These measures, it is suggested, will be
contested by parties, on the grounds that
States have no right to pass enactments
having reference to the waters properly
controlled by the United States, and that
the authorities at Washington alone are
competent to take action in the matter.

An ANEcDoTE OF BISMARCK. On one
occasion, when the King was out of favor
with a number of his subjects, Bismarck
entered a beer saloon for the purpose of
quatiing a mug of beer, and while there
heard a man abusing the royal family,
which so kindled his wrath that he ad-
dressed the offender, thus: "Now I'm
going to drink this mug of beer, and il
you don't take that back, sir, when /
have finished will break the mug over
your head" Having swallowed the
beer and no withdrawal being made, he,
idlfiling his threat, sent the empty mug
spinning at the fellows head, and then,
as if nothing had happened, stepped mp
to the bar-keeper and asked what was to
pay for breaking his mug.

MAGNITUDE OF THE SUN.--A recent
work on astronomy thus, by comparison,
gives US q vivid idea of the magnitude of
the sun Let the reader consider a
terrestrial globe, three inches in diane
ter, and search out on the globe the tiny
triangular speck which represents Great
Britain. Let him endeavor to picture the
town in which he lives as represented by
the minutest pin-mark that could possibly
be made upon the speck. He will then
have formed some conception, though
but an inadequate one, of the enormous
dimensions of the earth's globe, COM
pared with the scene in which his daily
life is cast. Now, on the same scale, the
sun would be represented by a globe
about twice the height of an ordinary
sitting-room. A room about twenty-six
feet in length, and heighth, and,breadth,
would be required to contain the repre-
sentation of the suns globe on the scale,
while the globe representing the earth
could be placed i'll moderately large
goblet. - -EHgttsh paper.

between five thousand and Eve thousand five

entire interest of the State In the common stock
of the road, at $140 per share.
The sale was made under an act of the last
session of the Legislature to meet the indebt-

last. By this sale the State will lose two direc-
tors of the company, and the amount realized
by the sale of common stock being insufficient
to pay the bonds matured, q further sale of pre-
ferred stock owned by the State will probably
be necessary, when the State will lose more
directors of the company.
