THE MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY

The Department of Public Parks, at the sug-
gestion of the Trustees of the American
Museum of Natural History, has made valu-
able change in the administration of that ex-
cellent institution. Monday and Tuesday Of
each week are hereafter to be reserved for the
convenience of charitable and educational estab-
lshments, and of those who wish to make an
especial study of the objects and specimens on
exhibition. The admission on these days is to
be by tickets issued by the Trustees, in &C.
cordance with plan which will be announced
as soon as it has received the approval of the
Department. This innovation Is entirely In
harmony with the original purpose of the foun-
dation Of the Museum, which was intended to
be devoted &C much to the education of the
young as to the recreation Of the public.
Our citizens do not generally know with
what admirable zeal and industry the Trustees
and the scientific gentlemen who have this
Museum In charge have discharged the trust
confdedr to them. Although In its infancy,
this Is already one Of the most complete and
satisfactory collections In the world. A dis
tinguished savant connected with the British
Museum, who recently visited II, said the
mansRers had succeeded In the abort time

Fatal cOlliery disasters are of late alarm
ingly frequent in England, considering that in
that country every possible appliance to rem
der life safe in the mines has usually been
adopted. The explosion in a mine near New
castle-on-Tyne, by which thirty-three persons
are supposed to have been killed, ought to
rouse public attention still more keenly to the
ineffectveness, after ALL Of the sO-called safety
apparatus in use in the COllieries of Great

There is pretty good evidence that the Build
ers' Committee, appointed to investigate the
affairs and conduct of Superintendent Mac
gregor, are handling that estimable gentle
man in O very gingerly manner. Mr.. Mac
gregor, unfortunately, has it in his power to
harass and Cypress the builders, and, unless
somebody who is really independent of him
shall engage in the investigation, it is likely
to turn out nothing but wbitewash.

How Hot Iron MAY be Handled.

Mons. 1. Fontelle. President de la
Societe des Sciences Physiques ct Chi
miques de Paris, &C., has left the follow
ing on record About the year 1909
one LiOnetto, a Spaniard, astonished not
only the ignori MT, but chemists and
other men of science, in France, Ger
many, Italy and England, by the impuni-
ty with which he handled red-hot iron
and molten lead, crank boiling oil, and
performed other feats equally mira
culous. While he was at Naples he
attracted the notice of Professor Semen
tenn, who narrowly watched all operations
an2 endeavored to discover his secret.
He observed in the first place, that when
Lionetto applied piece of red-hot iron
to his hair dense fumes Immediately
rose from it, and the same occurred
when he touched his foot with the iron.
He also saw him place a rod of iron,
nearly red-hot. between his teeth with
out burning himself, drink the third of
a tablespoonful of boiling oil, and tax
ing up molten lead with his fingers place
it on his tongue without apparent incon-
venience. Sementem's efforts after per-
forming several experiments upon him
self, were finally crowned with success.
He found that by friction with sulphuric
acid, diluted with water, the skin might
be made insensible to the action of the
heat of red-hot iron; solution of alum,
evaporated until it became spongy, ap-
peared to be still more effectual. After
having rubbed the parts which were
thus rendered, in some degree, incon-
bustible with hard soap, he discovered
on the application of hot iron that their
was increased He then de-
termined on again rubbing the parts
with soap, and after this found that the
hot IRON not only occasioned no pain,
but that it actually did not burn the
hair. Being thus far satisfied, the Pro-
fessor applied hard soap to his tongue
until it became insensible to the heat of
the iron and after having placed an
ointment composed of soap mixed with |
a solution of alum upon it, boiling oil
did not burn it. While the oil remained |
on the tongue a slight kissing was heard,
similar to that of hot iron thrust into
water the oil soon cooled, and was then
swallowed without danger. Several
men have since successfully re-
peated the experiments of Professor
Sementem

ent writing for the ruins of Peshtigo with
the story of Joseph Lasue. He was a
farmer In the Bush, with a wife and
five children. They had fought to the
last, and left only when the flames flash
ed clean over their building. Lasure
carried his three-Year old boy, and Lis
wife babe. All kept together, with
the flames striking them at every step,
for 30 rods. The wife could go no farth-
er, and dropped with her stifed babe in
her arms. The father had now to drop
his little three-year old, who was picked
up in turn by the elder boy of thirteen.
The brave boy carried the little fellow
for nearly quarter of mile, when both
sank down together. Little Floy, nine
years old, and their only girl, stood it
the smartest of all, and kept ahead of
her father for half mile, cheering him
on with brave words, when all the rest
had persisted. She had now to pass over
burning grass, when her dress was en-
veloped in flames. ''Oh, if I could Only
have saved that girl p said the grief
choked father, and his story was ended.
A young lad, next neighbor to Lasure,
who was saved, had much to tell of little
Floy. She vas the smartest scholar at

She was small of size, exceedingly bright,

What Hen have Died for.

Colonel Montgomery was shot III a
duel about dog; Colonel Ramsey in one
about servant; Mr.. Featherstone In
one about a recruit Sterne's father in
one about goose /; and another gentle
man in one about an acre of anchoyies
one officer was challenged for merely
asking his opponent to enjoy the second
goblet and another was compelled to
fight about pinch of snuff General
Barry was challenged by Captain Smith
for declining wine at dinner on a steam
boat, although the General had pleaded
as an excuse that wine invariably made
him sick; and Lieutenant Cowther lost
his life in duel because he was refused
admittance to club of pigeon shooters.
In 1777 duel occurred in New York
city, between Lieutenant Featherstone-
haugh, of the 10th, and Captain McPher-
son, of the 42d British regiment, in re-
gard to the manner of eating an ear of
corn, one contending that the best eat
ing was from the cob and the other that
the grain should be cut off from the cob
before eating. Lieutenant Featherstone-
haugh lost his right arm, the ball from
his antagonists pistol shattering the
limb dreadfully, so much so that it had
to be amputated. Graham, Major Noah's
assistant editor on the National Advocate,
lost his life in 1927, at the duelling
ground at Hohoken, with Barton, the
son -in-law of Edward Livingston, in q
simple dispute about "'what was trumps"
in game of cards.
