Meat Extracts Not Nutritious.

Theincreasing skepticism of physiolo-
gists in regard to the nutritive value of
the various meat extracts, so much adj
vertised at the present day, has been
rather fortified by the publication of an
elaborate paper of Muller, of Paris,
upon the subject of the physiological
character of most extracts in general.
In this, starting out with the PROPOSE
ton, first, that meat extracts do not
have any nutritive value, and second.
that they sometimes have certain
action which is to be attributed only to
their mineral principles, and especially
to the salts of potash, he proceeds to
examine the various preparations,
whether bouillons or extracts, aad then
inquiries into the action of the nitro
genous principles contained in these
preparations, and finally devotes third
part to discussion of the action of the
potash salts.

Funny Mistake of a Funny Man.

One of the best dressed and most
brilliant young men in Chicago, who
parts his hair in the middle, essayed to
delight select party of ladies and gen
tlemen last evening by few flashes of
wit. The most noticeable scintillation
of his wit was conundrum: Haw-"
said he, "Aw-when is a lady not a
lady ?" Nobody could tell, and the
propounder of the conundrum gave the
answer. When she's a little buggy"
he said. A dead silence fell on the
company, and the funny man was the
focus of many singular glances. He
soon became conscious that some one
had Numbered" So he Owed into a
vest pocket, brought out newspaper
scrap, read it attentively three or four
times, and then frightened up. "Haw

MeteOrites from The Sun.

The theory of solar origin for me-
teorltes, however strange and startling
1t may appear to be, has now many adj
vocates among leading scientific men,
and much evidence in its favor has
been supplied by the recent solar re-
searches of such eminent astronomers
as Lockyer, Proctor, Secchi, Young, and
others. Their opinion is, in brief, that
the solar prominences result from the
shooting forth of certain liquid or solid
masses or streams of matter, and that
meteorlc masses, or at least some of the
meteorltes, may have originated in this
manner, being propelled from beneath
the surface of the sun.
In a communication to the ROYAL As
Economical Society, Mr.. Runyard, dis
cusslng the nature and origin of the
upheaval of eruption prominences,
states as his conclusion that the OBJ
served phenomena, and all other con-
siderations, go far to render it probable
that neteors are formed from the me-
tallic sapors hurled from the sun or
other stars, or that solid masses may be
so hurled, in eruption prominences.
Another astronomer also remarks of
this theory, that, offering as it does a
possible account of the genesis of
prominences and meteorites, it appears
also to contain the germ of another
hypothesis, which he develops, respect
ing the cause or the connection between
solar eruption and terrestrial magnetism,
one of the most interesting scientific
questions of the day.

Lost BallOOnist,

So many balloons came out of Paris
during the siege that those who re-
ceived their letters by this means began
at last to look upon the aeronaut as a
very safe courier, and on his aerial trip
as one of pleasure rather than of peril.
Among the balloons which escaped over
the iron girdle of Teutons was the
jacquart. 1t was intrusted to the care
of sailor named Leprince. Tearing
through space before gale Of wind, the
gallant young tar and his new kind of
craft were sighted at La Rochelle, lust
as the wind bore him over the Atlantic.
On the way he must have met with an
atmospheric current which drove him
eastward, for there have not been found
IN the Scilly islands the dispatches car
ried by the Jacquart. AS the sacks
have not been picked up in one and the
same place, it is supposed that when
Leprince saw the group of islands he
gradually got rid Of his dispatches,
casting them overheard whenever he
saw land beneath him. This must, of
course, have considerably lightened the
balloon, and consummated his own de-
struction by imparting to it an ascend
ing force which waited him once more
over the terrible ocean.

American versus English Magazines.

The New York World says that no
constant reader of the magazines print
ed in the English tongue can have
failed to have noticed the marked diff
ference between those published in
England and those which appear here.
The English have been longer in the
business than we, and there can be no
question that they have more thor
oughly gagged than have our publishers
While we are sorry for it, the fact is our
magazines are too literary for our peo-
pie. Many of them appear to be con-
structed more to suit the tastes of the
editor than to supply the wants of the
reader. Editors may fondly felicitate
themselves on the work of educating
the average American mind up to the
proper standard, but in reality such
thing rarely takes place. The reader
simply throws down the magazine when
the articles are above him he does not
attempt to understand them as the
education theory would lead one to
suppose. The great majority of read
ers will never be of literary turn, no
matter how high may be the culture of
the few, and the English are perfectly
Soil00O III supplying WuOiosOSuo uOeio1
for their readers when they wouli not
read literary dispositions. 1t is curious
to note that even the religious month
lies, such as the Sunday Magazine, print
serials. Macmillan's Magazine, IirasLey's,
London Society, Temple Bar, Belgrauia,
CornhtH, 81. Paul, Al the Year Bound,
Once Week, are made more or less of
fictions. The illustrations in all of
these magazines are excellent, appeal
ing to the eye as the text does on the
intellect and heart. Our magazine
management ought to profit by careful
study of their English rivals. If our
publishers and editors SO will, they can
make the American magazine as inter
esting to our readers as the English is
to its readers, though the contents of
the home monthly will not be as good
Judged by a high standard of criti-
cism-as the foreign. A good begin
ming has already been made in Harper'S
and Scribaer's, and this tone has but to
be developed.

Mr.. j. w, DeForest has an article in
Old and Ntw for October, which gives
the Scriptural history of the deluge
new Interpretation. He tells the stories
OF Ad and of Thamud, as the best
modern research has established them,
shows how, by the picturesque Semitic
Imagination OF contemporary narrators,
the conquest of the Thamud by Cedar
el Amman, and the destruction of Ad
oy me Joktanltes, was changed into the
raVages OF hurricane; and the expul-
son OF Canaan from its prosperous seats
on the PERSIAN Gulf put on the gu1se of
an earthquake. Then he inquiries why
the same method of Interpretation
which has been applied to the Noach1an
deluge, thus reconciling the Scriptures
with geology and reason. He believes
that the deluge typifes an invasion of
the Turanians, who descended IN such
force upon the Cainites and Sethites
that no refuge availed; the Hottest
mountain strongholds were stormed;
the disaster was universal. He then
goes on to say that only single people
under the name of Noah prepared for
1T, and being better than the neishbor-
ing peoples, had juster laws, purer
manners and nobler religion. 1t thus
deserved preservation, and SO won it.
By the drying up of the waters the
writer thinks is represented that either
the invading Turanians retired to their
northern steppes or crystalized into
settled communities. This theory of
the deluge transforms it from cosmical
CONFUSION to political revolution;
from miracle into a natural incident
in the life of humanity.

False Hair.

Heavens Let all ladies who wear
deceitful locks read what the British
Medical Journal tells US about false hair
There is NJ. Lindeman who has given
his mind to this subject, and who an
nounces that every hair in false plat
ends with "a nodosity;" each nodosity
contains fifty" psorosperms - and each
psorosperm throws off minute spheres
which become "pseudo-navicella. y
But this is by no means the end of a.
bad matter. The pseudo-navicell@ in a
ballroom containing fifty ladies, all
with the spurious tendrils, amount to
100000, which, when inhaled. make

Prof. Greeley can bring to the administration
