salt into the mortar with which the

portion of mortar which is exposed
absorbs moisture from the mortar
every damp day. The SCOT thus

ALTIrUDINoUs-Th following story
which has not heretofore found its way
into print, is related at the expense OF
Col. Green, editor of the Boston Post
The Post building is seven stories high
and the Colonel's sahctuna is situated upon
the very topmost floor. One day an
emaciated individual, who looked as il
he were walking around to save funeral
expenses, stepped into the cashiers office
and inquired for Col. Green.
"On the top floor,'' said the clerk.
But" teeDIy demonstrated the ema
ciated man, I'm in rather poor health
and don't know how in the world I'm
ever going to get up
"W ell" remarked the clerk, impa-
tiently, ego up as tar as you can, and
then knock at some door and send up tor
the Colonel"
The attenuated man sighed plaintive-
ly, bu- started on his weary way. Up
up be went, un:ll, almost fainting with
the rxertion, he pushed open the near
est donr,and, with voice barely audible
from want of breath, gasped out, Isis
God in ?"
The poor fellow evidently imagined
that lie had reached a higher altitude
than the facts warranted.

| CHANGES IN FISHES In the Amerlcan
Naturalist, Charles G, Abbott, M. D.,
gives some account of the changes in the
fishes of New Jersey within a few years.
A slight local disturbance sometimes quite
alters the fauna. Thus in 1867 snail,
never failing brook, emptying into the
Assumpink, was populated by clubs dace
and minnows. In July a heavy, sudden,
fall Of rain caused rise of water, but did
not alter the brook enough to attract the
attention of those who lived near it. AT
ter the subsistence of the water not one
of these fish could be found there, while
their place was taken by roach, mullets,
and red fins, which are now abundant,
while not a club can be found
DR.. Abbott mentions several fishes that
were pot Inhabitants of the New Jersey
streams twenty five years ago. which are
now quite abundant ; and he is greatly at
ia loss to imagine how they can have
reached these streams. He mentions he
interesting case of the gizzard ehad, which
is sometimes carried by freshets into in
land streams or ponds. A pond near
Trenton was stocked with them in 1857,
and is now full Of specimens, weighing
sometimes five pounds They have be,
come 50 different in color from the same
fish as found in the Delaware and on the
coast that Dr. Abbot at first Thought
them quite distinct; and he says they
have changed consderab y, but only in
color during the last ten years.

A STARTLING THEORY We hate to be
ciphered out Of existence, even to confirm
the infallibllity of sclence,and sometimes
blindly prefer to believe that figures will
lie Now is a good time to use our
negative credulity Alphonse Adhemar,
a celebrated mathematician, starts a
theory that the earth is covered by de
iuge once in 10000 years, on the follow
ing calculations: During that cycle one
pole of the earth enjoys seven days more
sunshine than the other, and at present
we have seven more days in the northern
hemisphere than the southern, which
means to hundred years Offreezine at one
pole against two hundred years of melt
ing in the othe1. The effect of this is to
form such an immense mass of ice at the
less favored end of the globe as TO change
the form of the planet, and dispIace its
gravity for a league or SO. This dis
placement draws TO theice-bOund regions
almost all the seas and oceans, and
eventually causes a change in the
oscillation of the earth, SO as to reverse
the order Of things, bring the greater
power of the sun upon the frozen region.
Then suddenly as the pent up waters IN
an Alpine valley burst their barriers and
destroy village, SO this gigantic polar
glacier by its disruption oVerwhelms a
hemisphere. AS a proofo of his theory he
points to the effect Of the last OF Noah's
flood, and reckoning from the accepted
date Of that, the next VIII be upon US
in the year 1854 A. D. We are not per
sonaly interested, of course, unless it
should happen about resurrection time,
but we are supposed to have little con-
sideration for our descendants.

The following story is told at the expense
of d. Dudley Field, the attorney of the Erie
Railroad Ringi: Many OF the people in Stock
bridge, Massachusetts, where Mr.. Field
spends his vacations take summer boarters.
One of these families of boarders from New
York left after running up bill of $500. The
creditor asked David Dudley Field to collect
the bill when he returnel to New York On
the following summer he asked Mr.. Field.
when the latter returned to Stockbrdge, if
he had attended to the matter. oh. YES =,
was the reply. Nothing more was said at the
time concerning the transaction. few DAYS
later the creditor again preached the subject
TO Mr.. Field, hoping That he would pay over
the $500 ii he had secured it. Mr.. Field again
said the matter had been attended to bu,
made no alusion to the money On third
occasion the creditor brought the matter up
and spoke more directly to tho point, when
the great Erie lawyer smilngly replied, oh,
yes, collected that money, but there is no
balance due you we never touch such eases

SPREAD OF AMERICAN CIVILIZATION IN
JAPAN-It is nearly year since one OF
the high japanese functionarieS, who
have oeen sent here, saw an American eX
ecution. The novelty and horror of the
scene impressed him profoundly; and as
one Of his main duties was to send reports
of American customs and inventions to
the Japanese government, he wrote an
elaborate and detailed report ofthe affair,
made careful ORA wings OF all the incidents
that took place, procured u small modes
Of the gall0ws, from the cross beam Ot
which was suspended string, at the end
of which wooden manikin was hung by
the neck and then sent his report, model
and drawing to the japanese government.
The high authorities admired the Ameri
can style Of execution and determined to
make experiments in i us soon as posi-
BILE. They accordingly ordered the cree
ton OF II fair sized working gailows, IN
der the supervision of an intelligent
American resident of Yokohama who
was formerly u dramatic critic of the
New York Tribune, but is now it's CORES
pOndent in Japan. Being a humanitari
an, he gladly undertook the work. Du
ring his residence in Japan, he had seen
men commit hart hari, had witnessed exc
cutions according to the Japanese custom
by crucitixion, by burning alive, By
drowning, and after all, he had been lee
by his patriotism to believe that tn
American way was better than any o
these. He has nov seen it introduced ii
Japan, and probably feels triumphant a
this evidence of the progress OF ciViliza
ton and American ideas.

more or less affected, according to their
proximity to the magnet while the exper-
