An Inextinguishable Signal Light

A new signal light, possessing most
remarkable properties, has now been
brought out in England. Its peculiar
tiles are, that it is self-igniling when
placed in water or thrown on the sea.
Contact with water being the only
meansof igniting the lamp, it is inextin-
guishable when once ignited ; neither
wind nor storm has any effect upon the
flame. The light is of intense brilliancy,
and Of great duration, and can be seen
for great distance in the open air.
Photographs may be taken by it. Ex-
periments were tried on the evening of
the 25th of April; at ten o'clock, in the
presence of some scientific gentlemen,
to determine its brilliancy as a signal.
A lamp was placed in bucket Of water
Oh the top of Primrose Hill, London,
and the light was SO intense that after
the signal had been burning for twenty
minutes, small newspaper print could
be distinctly read at distance of seven
ty feet, notwithstanding that the night
was thick and foggy.
The light will burn for forty minutes.
In construction the lamp is exceedingly
simple, and so contrived that when once
burnt the whole may be thrown away.
The chemical preparation contained in
the lamp is solid, hard substance, free
from danger not affected by heat, and
is non-ex plosive; and the signal is
comparatively inexpensive. Its appli-
cations for marine signals are numerous.
In case of shipwreck, few lamps
thrown on the sea would illuminate the
entire scene, and enable assistance to be
promptly and efficiently rendered. For
rocket-line apparatus it is equally valu-
able, as, bursting into flame OH falling
into the sea, it would indicate the posi-
ton Of the rocket line In connection
with life buoys it would be mark to
the drowning sailor.

The accidental discovery in Chill of a
specific remedy forcancer, a preparatio n
Of cundurango has been mentioned. A
supply was forwarded by the authorities
of Ecuador to the United States govern
ment, aud several cases of cancer were
treated with it to test its remedial vir-
tues. 1t il now stated that in every case
so treated the patient is rapidly recover
ing. A trial was made in the case of
Mrs. Mathews, the mother of Vice Pres
ident Colfax, who had dangerous
cancer of three years. standing, but
under the condurango treatment mar.
velous and rapid cure is being effected.
The evidence so far justifies the belief
that this newly discovered remedy will
prove sure and effective cure for this
heretofore terrible disease, cancer, and
(if the above be true) will revolutionize
the treatment of this aud other blood
diseases, and prove an inestimable boon
to humanity.

Bread.and Cheese and Kisses.

One day, when came home fatigued,
And felt inclined to grumble.
Because my life was one Of toll,
Because my lot was humble.
I said to Kate, my darling wife,
In whom my whole life's bliss is,
"What have you got for dinner, Kate?"
"Why, bread d-and-cheese and kisses"
Though worn and tired, my heart leaped up
As those plain wolds she uttered;
Why should envy those bread
Than mines more thickly buttered?

"What's that ?" she asked, "Why, this 10. >

She nodded and smiled gaily:
I said, "My love, on such a meal
I'd dine with pleasure daily,
When but think OF you, desr girl,
1 pity those fine misses
Who turn their noses up and pout
At bread-and- cheese and kisses.
And when look ON your dear form,
And on your face 30 homely;
And when look in your dear eyes,
And on your dress 50 comely;
And when hold you in my arms,
I laugh at Fortunes misses,
I'm blessed in you, content with you,
And brsad-and- cheese and kisses"

Mr.. THEODORE TILToN illustrates the
sixth number of the Golden AGE with
the following picture from our own
State:
The State of Iowa is great not only in
territory and in wealth, but in mag
nanimity. We are never surprised by
any report of its good deeds or brave
thoughts. Within that valiant State
is now growing up, without commotion
or the blowing of trumpets, an educa-
tional institution which is solving one
Of the most vexatious of educational
problens--that of discipline in the
colleges and professional schools of
America. The Iowa Agricultural Col
lege, under the charge of, the Hon. a.
S. Welch, an educator of long expert.
ence and of great sagacity, has the
courage to say to students, "The good
order of this little community is "chiefly
your affair. Take it into your own
hands. Organize and then Govern
your "selves!" The organization grow
ing out Of this permission has taken
form as follows: The occupants of the
college building are divided into seven
sections, two of ladies and five of gentle.
men; the sections corresponding with
the halls in which they room. At the
opening of the term each section meets,
ratities the rules of order, and chooses a
judicial officer. The seven officers 80
chosen constitute a council or court.
a captain and lieutenant are next
chosen, who have charge of the section,
and report any violation Of law to the
council. The council at a regular meet
ing tries the offender, and if lie is
found guilty, records the offender by
means If ccla.in marks. When these
marks reach five in number against any
student, he is privately warned by the
President; when they reach ten, he is
again warned, and his friends also are
informed of the fact; when they reach
fifteen he is required to leave the college.
This admirable system Of educational
democracy has now been tried two
years, and is working with absolute
success.

RAILROAD AND OTHER SECURITIES
The present high prices Of 5-2O bond>
in connection with the increasing pros
poets of a market for the new Govern.
ment loans at large reduction in the
rate ofinterest, should induce holders OF
5-20s to look for investments that will
return them a fair income. We know
Of no security offered that will pay as
largely, or any offering more ample Sc
curity than the : 3-l0th gold interest
bonds of the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company.
These bonds are secured by mortgage
on the lands of the company lover fifty
million acres), as well as on the road,
franchises, telegraph lines, &c, &c.
We see by recent statement made
~ the president Of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company that that company
has sold about 293, 900 acres of land at
at an average Of $40 per acre.
The lands of the Northern Pacific, it is
confidently believed, will realize to the
company higher average, as they
have a comparatively small quantity
Of barren or inferior lands. With such
domain, the security offered by that
company is surely ample for all the
bonds thew are permitted to place on
the market, and more than sufficient to
insure the prompt payment Of interest
and principal.
