CHEMICAL FREEZING AGENTS In
the hot bed of wonders, the chemists
labratory, great degrees of cold are pro-
durable by using highly volatile liquids
for evaporation. \ man may be frozen
to death. it is said, in the eytreemest
heat of summer, simply by keeping him
self drenched with either BY the as
sistance of liquid sulphuric acid, water
may be frozen in red hot vessel. But
that remarkable substance, liquid car
bonic acid, takes the highest rank of all
known freezing agents. In drawing il
from the powerful reservoirs in which il
is necessarily kept, it evaporates so rap
idly as to freeze itself, aud it is then 4
light porous mass, like snow. If small
quantity of this drenched with either
the degree of cold produced is ever
more intolerable to the touch than boil
ing waier-a drop or two of the mixture
producing blisters, JUST as if the ski
had heen burned.-State Journal.

An UNIQUE Buffalo Hunt.

Last Sunday, while the citizens of
Sidney were quietly enjoying the reposo
afforded them by the Sabbath, drove
OF eight buffaloes came gallopiug owe,
the rolling hills, and entered the town,
aud took spin around the streets In
less than ten n,inuts the alarm had be-
come so general that every man, woman
and child in the place were armed with
shot guns, rifles. revolvers, drk-kuives
and pltchtorks, while at the barracks
every soldier was on duty at once, aud
prepared to meet aud vanqui:h the foe,
or die in the attempt. la fact il was a
! question nf buffalo meat or no hu!alu
meat with them. Tie rLe,uy was out
hanked, aud IA detachment of one buffalo
| became seperate from the MA body Of
the monarchs of the rlaius, aud WIS
driven inside the rat Then the grand
! hurrah began in dead earnest The SOL
| diers flew aronni the buffalo in the en-
closure, as did the gladiators ut old
around the inturiatrd bulls in the am
phitheater. Colonel Du ulley, the com
mandant of the post, acted as Chief
Director OF the thiIing sport which last
ed some time. The buha was finally
cornercd aud killed, after receiving shots
too numerous tu mention. ami after hav-
ing bomb-shell thrown down his throat
aud exploding. Music, too, len. its
charms to the thrilling scene as u couple
OF Italian harpers, who travel on tie
Union Pacific, were engaged in thum.
ming their instruments during the hunt.
In the meantime the seven buflaoes
in the town were having a rei-hot time
One Of them effected an entrance into
the dining-room of Runsey's hotel, and
broke several chairs in attempting to sit
down at II e table to make a 600 square
meal off Of antelope steak Getting his
back up at the toughucsS of the steak
he overturned a table and smashed the
crockery-ware. Information had in the
meantime been conveyed to Mr. james
Runsey, who was out Oh the warpath,
and he returned to turn the intruder out
or else serve him up on the halt shell.
Just as Mr.. Rumsey entered one door,
Mr.. Buffalo ran out of another. Rum
sey leveled his gun, but it would not 90
off, and the buffalo escaped and joined
the remaining six, who then turned 'aiI
on the town, and cantercd over the hills
and far away, after having smashed sew
eral windows, creating an intense excite
ment, and playing the duce generally

ARTIFICIAL BUTTER.-The Boston
Jonunal of Chemistry says: "Throu, h
recent foreign adviceS we lc;rn that VI
Meye. Partisan chemist, is actual y
making good butter out OF variety of
animal fats, by process which is patent
ed in nearly all the countries of Europe.
His claim is that by suhjectng sweet lard
or other animal fats to great pressure, by
which the stearinc is extracted, an oil
material is obtained. the composition Of
which is identical with butter After
obtaining this 'oily material he subjec's S
it to a variety Of chemical processes,
which result in securing the Aavo, aud
physical characteristics of prime butter.
This is certainly very important sciens
tifc intelligence, if true, but we are no.
yet ready to break up our churns aud
send our cows to the butcher. Butter
is a delicate animal compound, which,
in our view cannot be fabricated or iu.

gloss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
It's occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
tion of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

Curious Discovery in Bulgaria.

A few years ago curious discovery

to the captain of the district, and that
fuuciionary, assisted by two ecc 'esiastic. =,
proceeded to make an examination -
They found Skelet m OF large stature,
with copper hemlet on his head, sur
rounded by thin crown of gold; the
hands and arms up tu the elbow, were
stained with something of a bronze COL
or; in the light hand was copper chair
with an irceGse box OF The same mate
rial, covered with ver6igris; on the third
finger of the left hand was a gold ring,
with the figures in Romln characters,

three cups of silver, very brilliant. and
twenty-six cups of iron, very rusty but
bearing traces Of having been gildcd;
there we're also an immense number of
nails, and about 500 arrows, Of which
the wood was rotten and the points rusty

control them The testimony of our best cti-
zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that
CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
ton, cured by this preparation, are public
ly known, so remarkable as hardly to be be-
lieved were they not Pro~on beyond dispute.
As a remeuy II is adequate, on which the public
may rely for full protection. By curing Coughs,
the forerunners of more serious disease, it saves
unnumbered lives, and an amount of suffering
not to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Affections,
which are easily met at first, but which become
incurable, and too often fatal, if neglected Ten
der lungs need this defence; and it is unwise to
be without it. As a safeguard 10 children, amid
the distressing diseases which beset the Throat
and Chest of childhood, CHERRY PICTORIAL
is invaluable; for, by its timely use, multi
tudes are rescued from premature graves, and
saved to the love and affection centred on them.
1t acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds,
securing sound and health-restoring sleep. No
one will suffer troublesome Influenza and pain
full Bronchitis, when they know how easily
they can be cured.
Originally the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, no cost or toll
is spared in making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection. 1t may be confidently re-
lied upon possessing all the virtues it has ever
exhibited, and capable. of producing cures as
memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.
