Making Fun of the New Scientific

&AutOtis
The London Times comments upon
Sir William Thomson's hypothesis, as
follows:
We despise these aeroiites. Some of
the biggest are In the British Museum,
and they are very stupid things, not at
all likely to produce q new variety of
the human race, or any other kind of
animal. Nay, they don't seem likely
even to grow moldy. But what of this
world, as it whizzes along through a
universe full of small shot, should one
day encounter It's match, in the shape of
a small planet, or the fragment of an
exploded planet2 The huge fragments
would certainly dint, perhaps crack,
our surface, give the earth horrid
scrape. and send chain of mountains,
some forests, kingdom or two mil
lions of men, and still more millions of
other live things, right into space, per-
haps into another world that wanted
vivifying and peopling. There you
have at once what may have happened
with this planet some thousand or
million years ago, and what may
happen again tomorrow A large mass
of us-England or Ireland, place of
the Great Sahara, or Paris or Berlin
brushed off in q moment and sent on
its journey. OF course it would make
an immense sensation in the watery
world of Jupiter or the gaseous consis-
tency of Saturn. 1t would be new life
to those olltlandish worlds-that is, if
the life it took with it survived the
journey and stood the new climate
= We feel like children at the
play, not disposed to bother ourselves
much about the sense of consistency of
the piece acting before our eyes or iust
over, but thinking only what the next
piece will be, and whether it viii not
be still more striking, eytrayagant, and
| absurd

Influence OF Tenn perat,Rre GA Health.
In the fall the difference between the temperature
of night and day is greater than at any other time Of
the year. In the early autumn the quicksilver
times rises as high during the day as in the most
fervid summer weather while at night often sinks
| to an almost wintry point. The human body not
being made Of steel India rubber, sensibly feels
these tremendous changes. To fortify the system
public has long since discovered that among this de-
scrpton of medicines Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
infinitely the best. 1t gently quickens the crcula-
ton, regulates the bowels tones the liver braces the
| nerves, and thus puts the whole physique it's
defense against the vicssitudes of temperature in
heard of in localities where it is in common use
AS it becomes more and more widely known, and
the demand for it increases chs and fever and the
bilious remittent to recede before it, and if
should into universal use these diseases
would cease to be known the scourges of our low
lying and marshy districts That homely bit of
proverbial philosophy, that prevention is better
than cure" should be especially borne in mind in
the autumn months; and indeed in all seasons, to-
gether with the fact, that among all preventives of
malarious disease Hosteters Stomach Bitters is the
most safe and potent.
Be certain, however, to obtain the genuine article
as countless limitations of pernicous character
abroad. See that the externals all right. and
remember that Hostetters Stomach Btters is sold in

UundurangG Is q Cancer Cure.

1t will be remembered that the State
Department received last spring, from
Ecuador, a small quantity of cundu-
range, together with the most fatter-
tering testimonials Of it's qualities as a
specific cure for cancer, and quite an
excitement was created throughout the
country at its discovery. Hundreds of
applications for small quantities of it
were received from persons afflicted !;
but as the supply was very limited, the
department could not comply with
these requests. Desiring, however,
that its merits should be fully tested,
portions were sent to prominent physi-
clans in the leading cities with the re-
quest that they would give it a fair
trial and report the result to the de-
partment in order that more of it might
be procured if it should be found to
to possess the qualities claimed. A
number Of physicians in various local
tiles have already reported to the de-
partment that they have given the cum
durango full and fair trial, and are of
the opinion that it possesses no pecu-
Lar merits for the cure of cancer.
Some express the opinion that it is of
similar nature to Virginia snake root,
but is OF no use for the cure of cancer.

THE LAST GREAT SHIPWRECK.
The Fcunderipg of the Prince OF Wales
with Fifty-one Persons-Only Three
Survivors.


The Fcundering of the Prince OF Wales
with Fifty-one Persons-Only Three
Survivors.
From the China Mail, July 18th.
A sad account reaches us of the
laundering of the Siamese ship Prince
of Wales, with nearly all hands. Tt
appears that the vessel, which belongs
to a Siamese firm in Bangkok, left this
port for Siam (and is the old Viscount
| Canning converted into a sailing vesseD
on the morning of the 26th of Jnne,
with ballast and sundries. She is an
iron vessel of 782 tons, and carried the
following company: Captain Young,
two mates, and 35 of crew, - Chi
nese, two women and one child-in all
81. All went well until evening, when
the weather assumed threatening ap-
pearance. While still in sight of land,
about 7 p. m. of the 26th, the wind be-
gan to blow in hard gusts and all sail
was taken in except the main top-gal-
liant sail, which was reefed.
| At2 a. IN. Of the 9th, the remaining
sail was blown to ribbons, and the
main topmast was snapped Ikea wand;
wind blowing terrificaIly, and sea rag
ing fearfully. Was obliged to let her

the sea.
At4 p. m. the ship began to settle
down by the stern. The captain could
not find out the reason for this at first,
as no great leakage was discernlble be-
low; but it waa afterwards found out
that the brlls-eyes had been dashed in
by the heavy sea, and that the water
had been shipped through them in
masses that we're irresistible. Pump
ing was not attempted as the ship was
settling fast; and the officers and crew
appear to have done nothing but stand
on the poop and watch their doom.
There were three boats on board but
they are said to have been unservice-
able CT useless in so fearful a season.
At daylight no land was visible, and
things were near the worst.
| She sank at 6 A. NJ, head first.
Groups of heads were seen struggling
on the water for some time after the
ship went down; but as far as we
know at present, only three of the crew
escaped to tell the tale here briefly mar
rated
The survivors saved themselves by
holding on to spars which were floating
about, and the poor fellows must have
had a very weary time of it. From G
A. NJ. of the 20th till P. NJ. of the 29th,
thirty-three long hours, did these ship
wrecked seamen cling to the spar, un-
til they were picked up by the master
OF a Macao fishing junk. They arrived
in the junk last night, and as the sur
vivors were well treated, the junkmen
have been rewarded by Mr.. Fl. Nicaise,
the Siamese Consul, for their good con

EFFORTS have been made in Russia
to use naptha as fuel on board a steam
boat. The engine worked as we'll as if
coal had been used, while the amount
of naptha required to do the same
work was considerably smaller. 1t is
estimated that two pounds of naptha
produce as much heat as forty pounds
| of coal. Naptha is found in large guam
titles in the Caucasus Mountains, where
it is sold very cheap. They intend to
use it on the railroads in the Caucasus
country and on the steamboats, running
on the Volga River.

Sonnet.
BY PAUL P. BAYNE.

Chased by the hawk last year a mock-bird few,
Swift as a beam, light as a fairy-car
THAT skins the trennulous heath-bells tender blue
To find safe harborage meath our window-b bar;
And there from out his inmost heart he drew
Such springs of golden melody as atar
Might fall, methinks, in viewless rhythmic dew
Down from the throbbing bosom of star.
Behold once more our minstrel perched atop
Yon cottage roof-tree yea, the selfsame bird
Whose happy song the last fair spring tide hearo'
T.anguIoly now few stray warblings drop
Low, Iute-like; but, his soul ungathering SON.,
He floods with music all the enraptured noon

Trial of Small Arms.

From the Army and Navy journal, August 18th.
In the presence of Governor Jewell
and staff officers, Adiutant- General
Marvin, Quartermaster-Ge General Dick
inson, Assistant Adiutant- General Fox,
and General Crawford, commanding
the State Militia, an initial trial of
breech-loading rifles was had at New
Haven on Wednesday. The following
arms were represented: Sharps, Allin,
Remington. Barnekov-Green Ward
Burton, Winchester, Peabody and
Whitney. Three tests were called for:
First, rapidity OF fire per minute;
second, accuracy, one uninterested
person firing each gun five shots
third, accuracy, each gun being fired
by its representative. The following
results were obtained:
Sharps, fired by George W. Yates, Is
shots, including miss-fres.
Allin, fred by Lyon, of Springfield
arsenal, Is shots.
Remington, fired by W. S. Smoot, Is
shots, including | miss-fire.

The ouly new guns were the Barne-
kov, Green and the Whitney. The for
mer arm was on this occasion fired for
the first time, and certainly made a
most promising debut. It's second trial
for rapidity showed twenty shots with
