Density Ofthe Earth's Interior.

1t Is known that scientific men
commonly assume that the density of
the globo increases toward tho centre
in arithmetical progression. Mr..
Ericsson, In recently published pa
per on this subject, argues that such
an assumption Is not sustained by
sound reasoning. Thus, at a distance
of only l-20 Of the earth's radius, or
l,044, 900 feet from the surface, the
weight nf Il superintendent mass Of
fused granite would exceed nine hum
Dire thousand pounds to the square
inch, equal to six thousand atmos-
pheres. Under this pressure the
weight of air would he seventy times
that Of water, and thirty-tive times
that of the heaviest metals. Gold, at
the point of fusion, is seven times
heavier than fused granite, whilo
neither of these solids loses mora than
3-100 of specific gravity on melting
heat-a fact which praves conclusive
ly thai high temperature Of metals
and minerals Is not Incompatible with
great density. Hence, fused granite,
in the earth's interior, may be many
times heavier than the cold mineral
at the surface.
Mr.. Ericsson argNes, therefore, in
view of the phenomena thus present.
ed, shat unless physicists are 'prepar,
ed to dispute the assumption that fNs.

tihc men have assumed, increases il

Vaccination and Disease.

The most experienced -accinators,
on the one hand, and those who have
had most to do with the treatment of
iufantile ailments, on the other, agree
in the belief that disease is not COM
municable by vaccination. Mr.. Mar
son, an English physician, in the per-
formance OF more than fifty thousand
vaccinations, "has never seen other
disease communicated with the vac
cine disease, nor does he believe in
the popular reports that they are 80
communicated" Mr.. Lee, whose
observations are equally extensive,
has borne similar testimony. DR., W.
Jenner, who in six years had some
thirteen thousand sick adults and
children under observation, states
"that in no case had he reason to be-
lieve or even to suspect, that any con-
stitutional taint had been conveyed
from one person to another by vacci-
nation" During period of seventeen
years iDr. Wesc treated tNenty-six
thousand infants aud children with a
like experience and Prof. Paget, after
an extensive familiarity with the dis
eases of children, expresses the opin-
ion that the worst which can be
charged upon vaccination is that, by
disturbing for a time the general
health, ii may rarely give OppOrtuni-
~ for the external manifestation and
complete evolution of some constitu.
tional affection which but for il
might have remained rather longer
latent.
Where every person in a commu-
nifty has been vaccinated, there is lit
tic Glance for smallpox to obtain a
foot-hold and it is also verv certain
that the presence ofthe unvaccinated
is standing invitation to the devol-
opement and spread of epidemics.
The opponents of vaccination, and a
far larger number who from iguor-
ance or Carelessness neglect the pre-
caution, thus become, SO far as the
public health is concerned, "dan-
gerous class" which like other dan.
gerous classes it is for the interest OF
the community at largo to remove
! Galaxy.

Curiosilics of Memory.

D
John Kemble used to say that he
could learn a whole number of the
Morning Post in four days; and
Gen. Christie made a similar asser-
ton, but it is not known how far Ell
ther of them verified this statement.
Robert Dillon could repeat in the
morning six columns Of newspaper
he had read over night. During the
repeal debates in the house Of com.
mons thirty-scyen years ago one Of
the members wrote out his speech,
sent it to the newspapers, and repeat
cd ii to the house in the evening; il
was found 10 be the same verbatim
as that he had written out. John
Fuller, a land agent in Norfolk,
could remember every word Of a ser
mon, and write it out correctly after
going home; this was tested by
comparing bis written account with
the clergyman's manuscript. Scali-
ger could repeat hundred verses or
more after having read them a single
time. Seneca could repeat 1000
words on hearing them once. Mag
liabccchi, who had prodigioua
memory, was once put TO severe
test. A gentleman lent him manu-
script, which was read and returned.
The owner, some time afterward,
pretending he had lost it, begged
Magliabecchi TO write out rs much
as he could remember; whereupOn
the latter, appealing to his memory,
wrote out the whole essay. Cyrus,
if some of the old historians are to
be credited, could remember the
name Of every soldier in his Immense
army. There was q Corsican boy
who could rcheafsc 10000 words,
whether sense or nonsense, as they
were dictated, and then repeat them
in o reversed order, without m re
a single mistake. A physiciaya Of
Massachusetts, about half a century
ago, could repeat the whole of para
disc Lost without mistake, although
he had not read it for twenty years.
Euclcr, the great mathematician,
when he became blind, could repeat
the whole of Virgils Enid" and
could remember the first line and the
last line on every page of the par
ticular edition which he had been
accustomed to read before he became
blind.
One kind of rctentive memory
may be considered as the result Of
sheer hard work, a determination to-
wards one particular achievement,
without reference either to cultiva-
tion or to memory on other subjects.
This is frequently shown by persons
in humble life in regard to the Bible,
An old beggarman at Stirling,
known some forty years ago as
Blind Alcck, afforded an instance Of
this. lie knew the whole Of the Di.
bic by heart, inasmuch as if a SEN
tcncc were read TO him, he could
name book, chapter ard verse; or il
the book, chapter and verse were
named, he could give the exact
words. A gentleman, to test him,
repeated a verse, purposely making
one verbal inaccuracy: Alcck hesi-
tsted, named the place where the
passage is to be found, but at the
same time pointed out the verbal er-
Iror Thesame gentleman asked him
to repeat the ninetieth verse of.the
seventh chapter of.the book Of Num-
bers. Aleck almost instantly re-
Piled, "Ttcrc is 10 such verse; that
chapter has only. cighty-nine verses.

MUSHROOM CONCERNS.
A Few suggestive Facts About Life
Insurance,

According to the reports made to
the Life Insurance Superintendent of
the State of New York, there are sew
enty-on life insurance companies do
ing business in the United States,
with aggregate assets OF over S2iS,-
100000. Twenty-nine of these, which
were organized from two to seven years
since, show an aggregate deficit of
over 81 ,3S2, 900, And the peculiar fea-
lures of the matter Is that, notwith-
standing this enormous deficit, they
have during the year lS7O-1 paid tn
stockholders dividends amounting in
the aggregate to SIP 600. The ques-
ton that naturally arises in this
connection is why, do these compan-
les ieOpardiAe the interests of policy
holders by paying these large divl-
dends to stockholders, instead of al
lowing the profits to go toward max
ing up their deficits?
There is another class of companies,
twenty-nine in number, which are
only able to show surplus of premi-
ums by reckoning their premium
notes as assets. Some of the best au-
thorites on life insurance hold that
premium notes are not assets. lfnOtes
are assets, why not take all notes and
be done with it, charging simply the
interest? These same companies
show a deficit of over S26, 100000 In
cash. We might ask, what does the
| Superintendent, Mr.. Miller, proposes
to do with such companies? Does he
intend to serve them Us he has done
the Farmers and Mechanics Life, the
Merchants Life and the Great Wes'
tern Life Insurance Companies, by
compelling them to wind up their at-
fairs and caasa to do business? II
seems but inst that he shopld do SO tC

imposition and probable disaster. The
remaining thirteen companies are II
appears by Mr.. Miller's report; sound
and reliable, from the fact that they
have a surplus, over and above all liza
bilities, of over $40, 600, ,0O00-an aver
age of nearly $S00,00 each. 1t is MOI
to be presumed that the iifty-eight
companies referred to are hopelessly
BANKRUPT. Provided no serious epi
demic, causing large loss Of life, over
takes them, they may continue to Dc
business and pay losses indefinitely
But since the great Chicago disaster
which proves fatal to so many fire in
surance companies that conducted
their business in the same manner
it would seem TO be the part Of wisdom
to inquire into the condition of all lii
insurance companies, and to compel

Paper Clothing.

IN civilized countries, the mapufac.
turing Of paper into various articles Of
clothing has only been the business
OF very brief period, but among bar
barous people it is al industry that has
been cultivated for years. With US,
the employment still remains in its
infancy, and it has taken us many
years to master the difficulties attend.
ing its introduction. At first, our
manufacturers confined their prOdue-
ton almost entirely to collars, cuffs,
frills, and similar minor articles,
Prejudice having been in great meas
ures overcome, our inventors extended
their area Of production to many fa-
brics Of universal use, but requiring
greater strength and pllability than
those worn about the neck or arms.
The garments made by this procc IS
failed to answer the requirements of
our day, ana were not received with
general favor.
AT this juncture Of affairs, itremains
for an English inventor to solve the
difficulty, and give Us really seryi-
ceable paper fabric. 1t is mixture Of
various animal and vegetable sub,
stances, the former being wool, silk,
and skins; the latter flax, jute, hemp,
and cotton. These articles are all re-
duced to a fine pulp, bleached and
then felted by machinery. The mix
tuIe of these several substance pro.
duces a fabric Of wonderful tleXihiity
and strength. 1t can be sewed to-
gether with a machine as readily as
woven fabrics, and makes as strong a
seam.
This paper is Of a very serviceabl ma
ture, aud is made into table-Cloth,
napkins, handkerchiefs, pants, cur
tains, shirts and other articles of dress,
The petticoats MADE from this felted
paper are of very elaborate design,
and wonderful beauty. They are
either printed or stamped, and bear so
close q resemblance to linen or cotton
goods of like description as to almost
defy the scrutiny of the ablest experts.
The stamped open-wOrk /, shirts dis
play o delcacy Of pattern that il
would be almost impossible to initiate
by any ordinary skill with the needle.
Imitation blankets and chintz for
beds, furuiture, or curtains, are also
made very cheaply. Embossed ta-
bie-cl0ths and figured napkins made
Of felted paper, so closely resemble
the genuine damask linen as to palm
ed olfupon the unsuspecting as the
genuine article.
In Germany, paper napkins have
been used for several years. Their
cost is but a triile, and they pay for
themselves before they are required to
be cast aside.
Felted paper is capable Of being
made into lace, fringe and trimming
aud for these several purposes it is
hnequaIed in point of cheapness and
durability. Imitation leather is also
made from the same material, which
is perfectly imperyious to water. II is
soft and pliable, and is a very useful
fabric for covering furniture, making
into shoes, for belts, and for many
other purposes.
