LIVELY TINE IN THE METHODIST CONFER,
ENCE-There was an exciting scene ip the
Methodist General Conference Monday, pro-
yoked by a sharp reply from the former
Superintendent of the printing department of
the Book Concern to Dr. Lanahan statements.
The latter reiterated in very plain language
his IDEAS about official rascaIity in this connec-
tOn and for some moments there was fire of
accusations and answers in relation to the
alleged efforts to silence Dr. Lanahan. Some
OF the language used was rather more
iorclbe than we are accustomed to hear from
religious bodies. The disputants permitted
their tempers to control their tongues for the

The Drought General.

A Scarcity of water is complained of in
New England, and also in the West. In
New England many Of the water powers
have been worthless for months, stopping
the wheels Of manufactures. and snow and
ice have been used by families for drinking
and cooking. In Michigan. in q dozen
different counties, the wells and ponds have
been dry for months, and some ofthe inland
lakes are lower by several feet than a year
ago. In Illinois. Missouri aud the Terri
tories, the Inconvenience is greater, stock
being driven several miles to rivers at times
when there was no snow to melt. The
explanation Of this condition Of things,
according to the Detroit Free Frcss, is
that winter SGT in suddenly, The frost
penetrating the ground to an unusual depth,
and the Surface water was carried away
into the creeks and rivers. In localities
where there has been an unusual quantity
Of snow, the drought is just as bad, the
water running of the frozen ground as fast
as melted. Il is believed by many that the
frost VIII remain in the ground long after
tho spring rains have set in and snow
disappeared, and that drought will prevail
during the entire spring from this reason. :"

Those timid people who possess their

comtorted by reading up IN astronomical
science. Therefrom they will be grati6ed
TO learn that comets are very harmless
affairs, and that il one should collide with
our globe the comet would get the worst Of
it. KErLER, tho great astronomer was
wont to say that there are as many comets
in the sky as there are fishes in the ocean
which is putting the comet business at a
rather ishily high figure, we think. But it
is actual fact, and not fgnrative figures;
that estimates the number Of these fiery
windbags at about l7,500,000. Conse.
quently they must be very unsubstan,ial
and harmless-mere vaporous humhugs,
Astronomers tell US that in 1870 a comet
got tangled up among the moons Of Jupiter.
The moons would not get out Of the way,

About Glass.

The elements which enter into the
composition of the material Of glass are
silex or flint, soda potash, lime, clay
or its metallic basis, and miuiam or red
lead, the matter which colors house
painters printing They are mixed
together in the crucible OF the glass
house, and then combined or melted by
the aid of FIRE. The temperature at
which fusion is attained varies with the
kind OF glass and the Ingredients Of
which it is composed. Window glass
is made Of flint, soda aud lime bottle.
glass, Of flint and iron (in the shape of
lerruginous sand } soda, lime and clay
crown glass, of hiut, potash aud lime
aud so on for other kinds ofglass. The
greater the number of bases used in the
composition, the more easily they are
melted into glass. Hence, for cheap
glass, such as bottles, the manufacture,
mixes as many different elements as
possible, in order to obtain his result
at the least possible expenditure Of fuel
Nevertheless, as often happens, what is
gained 10 one way is lost 10 another, for
the greater the fusibility of the glass,
the more it is liable to decomposition
by atmospheric aud other influences.
This decomposition is evidenced By Gu.
rlous aud even beautiful phenomena

Reasons for Well Known Facts.

Why is wollen cloth advantageous +?
Because Of the readiness with which il
allows the perspiration to escape through
its texture, it's power OF preserving
warmth to the skin under all circum.
stances, the difficulty Of making it wet
through, the slowness with which il
conducts heat, and softness, lightness
and pliancy Of its texture.
Why is linen disadvantageous for
wear next to the skin Because il re
tains the matter OF perspiration in its
texture aud speedily becomes imbued
with 1t; IL gives an Unpleasant s.nsa-
'lon of cold, is rapidly saturated with
moisture, aud conducts heat too rapidly.
