THE THEORY OF SPANISH NAVAL
~ OFFICER.
The Anudrio del DepdsitO HtClra-
grafco OF Madrid CONTAINS paper by
Lieutenant r. Carrascoy Guisasoia, of
the Spanish navy, in which a new the
ory OF cyclones is very plausibly set
forth. The author admits, with other
writers, that electricity plays & great
part in these and other phenomena.
Before a water-spout appears the mar
iner perceives g number of black
clouds, which speedily congregate in
alsingle spot. The lowest of them
soon descends in the shape of an in
verted cone, the apex of which seems
to touch the surface of the sea. The
waters below get agitated at its ap-
proach, and emit vapor which rises
up like smoke. Sometimes q circular
depression is formed just below the
cone, as If violent wind were blow
ing from the apex; very rarely the in
verse occurs, namely, the rising of the
sea TO meet the spout, The latter is
generally accompanied with lightning
thund er, hail and rain. Here, then,
electricity contributes its share, bat it
cannot easily be proved that it is the
cause of tha phenomenon, or of the
hurricanes generally. h s..s9.Jta.
To find this our author selects as
suitable examples the typhoons of the
Chinese Sea, and founds his reasoning
on the following hypothesis: !" A zone
or belt of air, saturated with aqueous
vapor, and compressed by two oppo-
site forces as much as it, can be, ac-
quires the power of resistance pecul-
lar to solid bodies, and can therefore
be made TO revolve like q hard disk
under the, influence of those forces"
Now the origin of the monsoon in the
Chinese Sea, is generally attributed to
the rarefsction of the atmosphere
caused by the radiation OF heat from
the great continent, and the conse-
quent attraction of air from the sea to
fill up the vacuum. This induces a
northeast trade-wind,, which passes
over, the PHILIPPINE Islands. and ends
in the Pacific at about two hundred
leagues from its eastern shores. So
does the south west monsoon and be-
tween these two winds there exists in
that ocean zone OF cslns, which
shifts its position in accordance with
the prevailing wind that is. always
on the side of the weaker one.
Now this zone is .he one which our
author considers in the light of solid.
If exposed to two opposite and equal
winds it will be compressed, but not
more than the water it contains will
uilow. If the winds be obliqae to each
other, to each other, and unequal, the
zone will revolye, and as it finds no
obstacle to stop it, it will also be shift
ed more or less horizontally. Now,
this is exactly the motion of cyclones ;
these storms will occur oftener in rainy
than in other yedrs, and soon after the
rains, if the latter should happen to
fall at the beginning of the northeast
monsoon.

Alaska. Discovery of Ancient
Relies and Remains. -

DR.. w. II. Dali, of the United. States
Coast Survey, recently read before the
California Academy of Science a very
Interesting paper relative to itereceBt
discoycrites of asstiqGitirs on the Is
land of Cnaiasks. The first traces OF
humanity were found by him while
excavatiIig for a signal, ahdon further
search he unearhed, in mound on
the northern end of the Island, several
ancient Aleatian huts or houses, in
which he found three human skeletons
in a 3 ate of perfect preservation The
bodies were i'll separate compartments
peculiarly constructed, and exactly
ike the tomb made by the Aleutians
OF the present time.
Numerous articles, such as lamps,
stoi knives, bone spoons, arrowheads
etc, were foundlnear these skeletons.
The reinsins Of seven villages were
subsequently, uneartbed. The metliod
of burial pfacticed by theee people is
described as follows: ais5- e@
b : In certain places ct the foot OF
oyerhanEingl cliffs q walt has been
built up until therock above has been
reached, and outside a bank Of earth
or farf covered this wall. In the space
inside the debris is-has been removed,
and in this space, Oil j alayer of small
sticks of .driftwood. the bodies had
been laid one above he.otber. In one
case | found six skeletons, one abovo
the other, separated only by the layers
OF sticks and a piece OF grass mating
similar TO that still manufactured by
the natives of Unalaska. In another
place L found a small case, about
twenty feet in diameter, through the
creyices of which water was dripping
In this found the remains OF seven
human skeletons arranged around the
side of the case"
In this tomb d female skeleton was
found, together with large collection
of needles, made from the wing bones
of birds, avis, and other objects OF
household use. In the caves, used for
burial were also found several carving
and sometimes the bodies, placed in
natural attitudes, were covered entire
ly with carved wooden arinor, or
placed in miniature canoe or bidarka,
armed as hunting or holding paddle
Women were represented as il sewing

Corn as Fuel.

From the Council Bluffs NOnpdriel
we learn that corn is used as substi-
tute for coal aud wood. Ii will GER
tainly strikcoa Pennsylvania as a
.spenny wise and pound foolish" un-
dertaking, it indeed il is not wiliul
waste of one of the staples OF life.
That journal says: We are glad to
see that many of our citizens are TAX
ing advantage of the low price of corn
to lay in heavy supplies oil it for fuel
| We have expeIimentcd with it for the
last week, and find 1t is an admirable
substitute for both wood and coal,and
at present prices there is both econo-
my and comfort in its use. A ton of
! corn, thirty three bushels, atseventeen
cents per bushel, is SIS GO. We con-
ksider this equal to cord of hard
wood as supplied and measured IN
/ our market, at 81; the cutting of
this cord, 81 50-total IS 90 Thus,
making saving of nearly So a cord.
For kitchen fuel ii is superior to wood
except hickory, and cheaper than that.
/ 1t makes very hot fire with great
! deal of blaze. We judge that three
\ tons of corn are equal to the heat of
one ton of hard coal, while in econo-
my of its use it is equalto one and a.
half tons of coal. In small families
1 and small houses there is always great
] waste of hard coal, while there is
none in the use of corn. Besides this
there is the public benefit ofretaining
| in the country all the money we send
to Pennsylvania for coal, and feed our
farmers by consuming their products

An Abode of Burglars in WestcIles:er
County--The Attic of sacred Ediace
Converted into Den OF Rpbbers-What
their stociS in trade Consisted of
While some workmen were engaged
making alterations in a church situated
near Bronxyille, little station on the
Harlem Railroad, in Westchester
County, aud about fifteen miles from
New York, they accidentally discov-
cred, day or two ago, the headquar-
ters of gang of burglars in the attic
of the sacred edifice. 1t may be men,
toned that the modist place of wor-
ship indicated stands i'll an isolated
grove about half mile from railroad
and within the limits of the town of
East Chester. The attic of the church
had never been used for any purpose,
and the only access to it from the
body of the editice was by means of
q step-ladder employed only by the
sexton.when he climbed to the interi-
or of the spire Tor the purpose of
ringing the bell. While effecting
some alterations in the wall at the op-
posite end of the building to that on
whirh the belfry was situated, the
carpenters found that the attic had
been used as rendezvous for burglars
it being fitted up with a table, chairs,
kerosene stove for cooking. and sun
dry other culinary utensils. In an
elaborate satchel were discovered over
two hundred skeleton keys, two for
midable looking revoivers -one of
them a seven shooter, with "skull-
cracker" forming the -handle--files,
saws, and other implements, forming
a very complete set of burglars tools.
Several dilapidated articles of wear
ing apparel, evidently intended as dis
guises for the gang, were also scat
tered around, together with a box of
blacking, brushes and other appliances
of the toilet. Unfortunately for the
ends of justice, the workmen who
made the discovery at once carried OFF
the burglars effects, thus preventing
any possibility of their capture. Cap
tain MangiD, of the Yonkers police,
having been informed of the affair, on
Thursday, lost no time in proceeding
to the now abandoned haunt of the
robbers without being aware that any
of the articles had been disturbed
Long before reaching the spot the
captain found, to his modification that
the implements had not only been re-
moved. but that the affair had gained
such widespread notoriety as to battle
all attempts looking TO the capture
OF the robbers. AS large number of
KEYS for unlocking railroad switches
were found among the other articles,
it is now believed that the attempts to
throw trains from the track were per-
petrated by this nest of villains.

old Hints of New Things.

Wendell Phillips, among, other good
things, said in a lecture upon the Lost
Arts" al Steinway Hall, New York
on Thursday evening last: 'Well, say
you, "Franklin invented the lightning
rod" L have no doubt he did; but
years bofore his invention, aud before
muskets were invented, the old sol
diers on guard on the towers used
Franklin's invention to keep guard
with and if spark passed between
them and the spear-head they ran and
bore the warning of the state and
condition of affairs.
j. After that yeu will admit that Ben
jamin franklin was not the only one
that knew of the presence of electric
ity, and the advantages derived from
its use. Solomon's Temple, you will
find, was situated ON an exposed
point of the bill the temple was SO
lofty that it was often in peril, and
was guarded by system exactly like
that OF Benjamin Frankiin's.
p Well, may tell youa little of an
cient manufactures. The Duchess of
Burgundy took a necklace from the
neck of mummy and wore it to a
bali given at the Tuileries, and every
body said they thought it was the
newest thing there. You have heard
of what is called the Estruscare, and
the Italians spent their lives in trying
to find our the secret; and it has come
down to us and our day, and we do
not know either. 5sdI
The old novels of Walter Scott were
three thousand years before the popu-
lar tales of Eastern Asia. Russell
Lowell says: "There was a town in
Vermont so corrupt that the .inhabit-
ants had to sleep within the walls at
night" Well, he had this opinion. A
Hindoo princess came into court, and
her father seeing her said, $50 home !;
you are not deceNtly coyered-go
home ;" and she said, 's Father, have
seven suits on" but the suits were of
muslin, SO thin that the King could
see through them.
A Roman poet says: "The girl was
in the poetic dress of the country" /
fancy the French would be rather as
tonished at this. Four hundred and
fifty years ago the first spinning ma
chine WAS introduced in Europe; L
have evidence to show that it. made
its appearance 1000 years before.
Well, / tell you this fact to show
that perhaps we don't invent just ev-
erything. Why did I.thinF to grope
III the ashes for this !? Because all
Egypt knew the secret which was not
the knowledge of the professor, the
king, and the priest.
Their knowledge won an historic
privilege which separated them from,
apd brought down. the masses /; and
this chain was broken when Cambyses
came down from Persia, and by his
genius and intellect opened the gates
of knowledge, laundering across
Egypt, drawing out civilization from
royalty and priesthood. rt,
