Scientific and Practical.

PRoF. AGAssIz has been elected one
of the eight members of the French
Academy of Sciences, to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the death of Sir Roderick
Murchison.
The Chief Engineer of the London
Fire Department testifies that he has
never known solid wooden post to be
80 burned through as to lose its bearing
before fire could be put out and be-
lieves that timber is better for building
than either iron or stone, as now used.
PRoF. LEPHAM, of tho United States
Telegraph Service, has published a re-
port on the forest fires last year. He
believes that all our prairies were origi-
cleared wholly by fire, which, he says,
destroys everything on and in them,
except the roots of the buffalo-grass.
Since this Is so, it follows that the land
is perfectly well adapted for timber
growth. If trees are planted and pro-
tected, they will flourish.

and science has lost the specimen.
PROF. MULLER, of Paris, has published
an elaborate paper showing that meat
extracts do not possess any nutritive
value. The following are his conclu.
sions on the subject in brief: First, meat
extracts are ailments neither directly,
since they contain no albuminoid mat.
tiers; nor indirectly, since their nitro
genous principles do not arrest dissimi'
lation. Second, in feeble doses they
may be useful by the stimulating action
of the salts of potash, which favor di.
gestion and circulation. Third, in
stronger doses, instead of being useful,
they may have an injurious influence.
Far from favoring nutrition, they inter
fere with it. Fourth, the physician
should always bear in mind that to give
these extracts alone is to maintain the
patient in a condition Of inanition.

RcnOyating Soils by Fire.

In England land is often renovated by
what is known as "paring and burning"
1t is mainly applicable to land containing
much vegetable substance, and is per
formed by taking up the top surface to
depth of two inches with a spade, SO
that it may become air-dried. This done,
fire is applied and allowed to shoulder
until the whole surface has been burned
over. The superfluous organic matter
is thus burned out and caused to yield
an immediate supply of potash to the
soil; some of the mineral elements OF
plant food are rendered more soluble,
and if the land be clayey, the capacity
Of the soil for absorbing and and retain
ing ordinary manures is increased. AT
usual prices for labor in this country
this method of renovating is too costly
for the ordinary field practice, but fol-
small plots designed for special crops
like carrots, or for garden purposes, the
plan is we'll worthy of adoption.

IT seems that the Arctic observations
of DIR. Kane and others are about to be
disproved by more recent explorations.
In the course of an interview with the
Captain of one of the Inflated Arctic
whalers, on the northwest passage, a
San Francisco newspaper reporter has
been convinced that there is no such
thing as an open polar sea. The person
interviewed also expressed the opinion
that the practicability of a passage from
the Pacific to the Atlantic is impossible,
that crossing the country with dogs and
reindeer was all theory, and that there
was no sucn thing as an open sea. The
Captain, who had been up to latitude
- degrees, believed there was a CONT
nent of ice, possibly with a current OF
water beneath, and that solid ice exists
beyond that latitude that never did
come out and never will-thus conflict
ing somewhat with Parry's opinion OF
the northwest passage.

A CENTRAL PARK camel mistook for
native desert food the autumnal flowers
and grasses adjoining the hat of Miss
Richardson, a young Boston lady at
New York, and while her attention was

shrieked, while the gentle camel, accus-
toned to the mirage, and expressing

A FIXED FACT IN PHARMAcy.-Con-

amazing that we liver; in view of the
countless remedies for them, it is won
derful that we die. Unfortunately,
however, all the diseases are ,ealities !;
whereas most of the remedies " are
humbugs. One exception to the latter
rule demands the recognition and APP

JOSEPH WALKERS VINEGAR BITTERs. OF
the Doctor himself, we know nothing !;
but of his medicine we can speak from
observation, for it seems to have found
its way into almost every household.
Probably it is more extensively used in
this country, as a family remedy. than any
other preparation, although it has not yet
been before the world three years. Wherever
we go we hear of it, and wherever we hear of
It, the comments on its efficacy arc enthusi-
astic. We have questioned sufferers from
liver complaint, remittent fever, fever and
ague, chrome headache, vertigo, Irregularities
of the bowels, Indigestion rheumatism, nell

The Matter of Size.

The Matter of Size.
If a greyhound were as large as an
elephant, and had the power and stride
would correspond with his size, he would
kill himself in running mile. The
material of his frame would not stand
the strain. The draughthorse is never
race horse. Beyond certain weight,
the loss Of the power Of heetness begins.
Nature puts her materials into the best
forms for securing her objects. The
swallow is swif,er than the swan. Ship
builders have found, to their sorrowful
and disastrous cost, that above a certain
size a ship is proftless. Taking into
consideration the material of which
ships are made, the modes of handling
them, and the needs of commerce, two
ships, possessing the aggregate capacity
of the Great Eastern, are worth twice as
much as she. The statement will
doubtless be good for all time.
There is limit, fixed by nature, in this
matter OF size, on all the instrumental.
ties of human commerce of every sort,
beyond which results are unsatisfactory.
There will never be railroad wi h a
twenty-five feet gauge; there will never
be another Great Eastern; and there
will never be another Boston Jubilee, of
the magnitude of that which closed Its
performance on the Fourth of July.
The great gathering of musicians
which MIR. Gilmore's enterprise secured
was without precedent in the world.
We doubt whether any man but Gil
more could have done what he did.
We doubt whether 1t could have been
done in any city but Boston. Theund
taking was gigantic, and it was carried
through with marvellous efficiency. The
monster experiment was not a failure in
any respect except in the fact that its
effects did not at all correspond with its
size. 1t demonstrated the fact that be-

are glad the experiment has been tried,
and that it is proved that every city can
