SUCH a filthy and profuse nasal dis

New Applications of Paper.

Singularly enough, the Iron Age argues
that paper is to become the general, if not
universal substitutes for wood, leather, and
India-rubber. as also, to some extent, for
copper, tin, and zinc, and that even iron is
not adapted to uses so widely various-it be
ing practicable, indeed, to bring paper pulp
to such state of toughness and solidity, by
pressure, as to be almost fire-proof and in
destructible as iron, and thus our railroad
cars may be made of paper, instead of iron,
thereby preventing the dangers now inccur-
red in case of accidents. 1t is claimed that,
in proportion to weight, paper is probably
the strongest material Of construction known,
combining more perfectly than any other
substance the qualities of strength, lightness,
fexibility, durability, and cheapness. So
many and various, too, are the articles of
which it can be made, that it can be manu.
featured in quantities practically unlimited
in every civilized country, and, 50 long as
plants continue to grow, paper manufacture
can he sustained. 1t is, also under all circum-
stances, an easy material to work and handle.
The fact is probably well known, that the
paper wheels have been used with success ON
some of the palace cars are formed of COM
pressed paper fitted into steel tire; iron
plates are then adapted to each side of the
paper, and bolted together to prevent any
displacement of the filling.

Makeup OF the Body.

Supposing your age to be fifteen or there
abouts, l can figure you to dot. You have
100 bones and 500 muscles; your blood weighs
25 pounds; your heart is FIVE inches in length,
and three inches in diameter; it beats 70
times minute, 1900 times per hour, 100, 800
per day, and 36,792, 900 per year. At each
beat little over two ounces of blood is
thrown out of it, and each day it receives and
discharges about seven tons Of that wonder
full fluid. Your lungs will contain gallon
of air, and you inhale 1000 gallons per day.
The aggregate surface of the air cells of your
lungs, supposing them 10 be spread out, ex-
ceeds 10000 square inches. The weight of
your brain is three pounds; when you are a
man it will weigh eight ounces more. Your
nerves exceed 10, 600, 900 in number. Your
skin is composed of three layers, and varies
in thickness. The area of your skin is about
1,700 square inches, and you are subject to
an atmospheric pressure of fifteen pounds to
the square inch. Each square inch of your
skin contains $500 sweating tubes or per-
spiratory pores, each of which may be likened
to little drain tile, one-fourth of an inch
long, making an aggregate length Of the en-
tire surface of your body of 2O1, ,166 feet, a
tile ditch for draining the body, almost forty
miles long.

Re-engraving the Currency.


Washington Special Cincinnati Gazette
The appropriation of 100000 for re-
engraving the plates of such National bank
notes AS have been successfully counterfeited,
has become available, and the printing divis-
ion has begun the active work A difficulty
has arisen as to the method of deciding what
notes have been successfully counterteited,
and it may not be possible to use this large
appropriation, which was put Oh in the Sen
ate, and covertly passed in concealed form,
after the measure sought to be attained had
failed upon full discussion in the House. Re-
turns received here shown an excellent con-
dition of the present national bank currency
In only nine States have any OF the denomi-
nations been counterfeited, and of two thou
sand banks the notes of but thirty-seven have
been counterfeited, and generally but one
denomination. Of six thousand plates used
in issuing the national bank currency, only
forty-three have been counterfeited, and
generally but one denomination. Of six
thousand plates used in issuing the national
bank currency, only forty-three have been
countcrfeited, and many OF these have proved
so poor as to defeat their circulation. OF
the two thousand plates of each denomination
of the counterfeit are as follows: Five SIS;
twenty -one eos; six 2's; eleven eos; one so;
two zoos. There is no law to compel banks
to take this new currency when printed, or
to pay the great expense of the new engrav-
ing.

From the Berlin Correspondence n. Y. Herald.
1t is, indeed, possible that we may be called
to Rome sooner, and to chronicle extraOrdin-
ary events-not the work of death in the
Vatican, but of conflict and the restoration of
the temporal power to the Pope. This is at
least the dream of the party of the Vatican.
Shall we term it Utopian? For my part, l
| cannot admit that cannot see the slight
est chance for papal victory in Italy at pres
ent, and yet every adheren1 OF the Vatican in
Rome is confident that before the Goth of
September, 1878, the present Italian govern
ment will be OverthrOWn, and the pre-1S7O
order of things re-establishcd.
So prOphesied French nun some years
before the election of the present Pope.
Marie Lataste is the name of the prophecies,
aud her "Life and Works were first pub
lished, believe, in 1847, and of late years
her words have been accredited in Rome as
those of an inspired seeress. Though have
not the book before me, remember the SUBJ
stance Of passages read to me by foreign
prelate in Rome. Though the seers wrote
alive, she foretold the year of his death, the
twenty live years pontifcate of the present
occupant of the papal chair, the persecution
and bitterness he would experience and his
final triumph after three years of mOrtitica-
ton. 80 much of what she said has been
verified by subsequent events that the Roman
clerical party confidently believe, as said,
that the rest will in good time I've fulfilled.
September 20, 1870-that they say, is the
date of the entry of Victor Emmanuels troops
into Rome. September 20, 1s73-by this
date, they assert, Pope Plus TX. will be the
temporal ruler of Rome and the States of the
Church. The assertion startled me, yet it
was made in deep earnestDess. Iventured to
say that could not see how this change, this
revolution, could be brought about. No in
formation was offered to me, except the
words ''God has not yet forsaken His Church.
Popes have been banished from Rome, have
been imprisoned by their enemies, but the
Church was finally triumphant. And she
will again triumph.

The main theatre of sounding operations
has been the Atlantic Ocean, which, from its
| relation to the leading commercial nations,
and for inter continental telegraphic purposes,
has been more carefully surveyed than any
other great body of water. Open from pole
| to pole, participating in all conditions of
climate, Communicating freely with other
seas, and covering 80, 600, 600 square miles, it
is believed to represent general oceanic con-
ditions, and to contain depths nearly if not
quite great as the other ocean basins Of
the world, although but little is known it is
true in this respect of the Indian, Antarctic
and Pacific seas. The general result of its
soundings would indicate that the average
depth of the Atlantic bed is not much more
than IL, 900 feet. and there seems to I've few
depressions deeper than IL, 900 or 20, 900 feet,
| a little more than the height of Mount Blanc.
DIR. Thompson sums up the general result of
the Atlantic soundings as follows: In the
Arctic Sea there is deep water reaching 5000
feet to the west and southwest of SpitZbergen.
Extending from the coast of Norway, and
including Iceland, the Farce Islands, Shet-
land and Orkney, Great Britain and Ireland,
and the bed of the North Sea to the coast of
France there is wide plateau, on which the
depth rarely reaches 5000 feet; but to the
west of Iceland, and communicating doubt
less with the deep water in the Spitzbergen
sea, trough 500 miles wide, and in some
places nearly $4,000 feet deep, curves along
the east coast of Greenland. This is the path
Of one of the great Arctic return currents
After sloping gradually to depth of 5000
feet to the westward of the coast of Ireland
in latitude So degrees, the bottom suddenly
dips to 1O, 900 feet at the rate Of about Is to
19 feet in the 100; and from this point to
within about 200 miles of the coast of. New
Foundland, when it begins to shoal again,
there is a vast undulating submarine plain,
averaging about $4,000. feet in depth below
the surface-the telegraph plateau A
valley about 500 miles wide, and with mean
depth of $4,000 feet, stretches from off the
southwest coast of Ireland, along the coast of
Europe, dipping into the Bay of Biscay, past
the Strait of Gibraltar, and along the west
coast OF Africa. Opposite the Cape de Verde
Islands it seems to merge into slightly
deeper trough, which occu pies the axis of the
South Atlantic and passes into the Antarctic
Sea. A nearly similar valley curves around
the coast of North America, about II, 900
feet in depth, off New Foundland and Labra-
dor, and becoming considerably deeper to
the southwark, where it follows the outline
of the coast of the States and the Bahamas
and Windward Islands; and finally joins the
central trough of the South Atlantic off the
coast of Brazil, with depth of $4,000 feet

Milk as a Medicine.

The London MHk Journal says, on the
authority of DR.. Benjamin Clarke, tAat in the
East Indies warm milk is used to great eX-
tent as specific for diarrhga. A pint every
four hours will check the most violent diar-
rhoea, stomach ache, incipient cholera, and
dysentery. The milk should never be boiled,
but only heated sufficiently TO be agreeably
warm, not too hot to drink. Milk which has
been boiled is unfit for USE This writer
gives several instances to show the value of
this substance in arresting this disease, among
which is the following The writer says:
"It has never failed in curing in six or
think, fifty times l have also given it to
dying man who had been subject to dysentery
eight months, latterly accompanied by one
continual diarrhpa, and it acted ON him like
charm. In two days his diarrhGa was gone,
in three weeks he became a hale, fat man,
and now nothing that may hereafter occur
will ever shake his faith in hot milk. A
writer also communicates to the Medical
Times and Gazette statement of the value of
milk in twenty-six cases of typhoid fever, in
every one Of which its great value was ap-
parent. 1t checks diarrhGa. and nourisheS
and co0ls the body. People suffering from
disease require food quite as much as those
in health, and much more so in certain dis
eases where there is rapid waste of.the system
Frequently all ordinary food in certain dis
eases is rejected by the stomach, and even
loathed by the patient, but nature, ever beneti-
cent, has furnished food that in all diseases
is benefcial-in some directly curative. Such
a food is milk. The writer in the journal
last quoted, DR.. Alexander Yale, after giving
particular observations upon the points above
mentioned, viz its action in checking diar-
rhea, its nourishing properties, and its action
in cooling the body, says: "We believe that
milk nourishes in fever, promotes sleep.
wards off delirium soothes the intestines; ;and,
iD fine, is the sine qua non in typhoid fever:
We have also lately tested the value of milk
in scarlet fever, and learn that it is now
recommended by the medical faculty in all
cases of this often very distressing children's
disease. Give all the milk the patient will
take, even during the period of greatest fever;
it keeps up the strength of the patient, acts
well upon the stomach, and is in every way
blessed thing in this sickness.
