OCEAN PATHWAYS.

According to Van Nostrand's
Engineering Magazine, one of the
steamship companies running line
of vessels between this port and
Liverpool, touching at Boston. has
set good example, by adopting the
plan SHOWN as the ''lane route "
suggested nearly eighteen years ago
by the late Prof. M. T.. Maury. as a
means OF obviating the danger of
collisions at sea. This plan desig-
mates one course for Vessels going
east, and another for vessels west
ward bound. The part of the ocean
traversed by the steamship lines in
their voyages, is ABOUT one hundred
and fifty or two hundred miles
broad, and it is proposed in the new
plan to mark out lane from this,
fifteen or twenty miles broad, which
will at least reduce the present risks.
1t is further claimed that the lane
to the west will be thirty miles short
er than the route generally taken,
and some delays from fogs will be
avoided, as it passes one hundred
miles south Of Cape Race. Another
advantage claimed for the lane sys-
tenn, is that one way it lies along the
northern edge of the Gulf Stream,
where there is an eddy setting west
ward, often at the rate of knot an
hour. The final argument in favor
of the system is that the distance
from Cape Gear to- Sandy Hook will
be shortened several hours; and al
though the distance to Europe will
be prolonged seventy-fiva miles, COM
pensation will be found for this in
greater security, and the advantages
OF the Cuff Stream, and fewer foes.
Considering the number of vessels
annually crossing and recrossing the
ocean without especial reference to
each others courses, the number of
collisions is very small; but OCCASION
ally they happen with terribly fatal
consequences, and any plan or sys-
tenn of navigation which has the eff
fect'of rendering them practically i'm
possible, would render ocean travel
safer than it is now. We hope own
ers of both steam and sailing vessels
will unite in giving the system fair
trial.

COMFORT FOR SMOKERS.

We all know how smoke of any
kind will blacken whited wall, or
the glass in the windows. This 1t
does by depositing thereon the fine
particles of which it consists. Chem
ical analysis shows the smoke of
tobacco to be composed of salts Of
ammonia, nicotianine, empyreumatic
oil and several gases. Now the
lungs consist Of millions of air vesi-
cles, which if spread out would cover
surface equal in extent to the ex-
ternal surface Of the body. Every
inhalation of the smoke of tobacco
taken leaves some of It's particles in
the lungs. From them it is absorb
ed into the blood, and circuIates with
it through every part Of the system,
permeating every tissue, and poison
ing Fits very fibre. Herald OF

WESTERLY EXPANSION OF
CITIES.

In his work on the atmosphere, :"
NJ. Flammarion devotes very curl
Gus page to the westerly expansions
OF cities, showing that the wealthy
classes show a pronounced tendency
to emigrate westward, leaving the
easterly districts to the Iaboring pop
uIation. This remark applies 10
Paris, London. Berlin, St. Peters
burg, Turin, Liege, Toulouse, Mont
pelier, Caen and Pompeii in Europe;
to New York and other cities in
America. 1T is true of many En-
gIish towns" says Nature it is
similarly true OF American towns and
seems to obtain as a constant fact in
the distribution of populations. Ed
inburgh' Dublin, Glasgow, Liver
pool, birmingham, Leeds, Southamp-
ton and Bristol present the same phe-
nOmenon. NJ. Flammarion thinks
the tendency is caused by the fact
that people feel disposed to form
their gardens and build their houses
IN the direction of the sunset. Mr..
w. II. Barrett, who has also observ-
ed the tact, attributes it to the preva-
lent dislike of an easterly wind, and
remarks that the easterly half of a
town Is more likely to be inundated
with efluvla; but, whatever may be
the explanation, it seems to be an
instructive act to walk toward the
rising sun in the morning, and to
turn u YEARLY toward the setting sun
after the burden of the day.

WHY THE RED SEA rs CALL
ED RED.

A question that has puzzled schol-
ars found solution some time since
in the observation of an American
submarine diver. Smiths Billie
Dictionary discusses learnedly the
name of the Red Sea. The Diction-
arg surmises that the name was de-
rived from the red western mountains,
red coral zoophytes. etc., and ap-
pears to give little weight to the real
and natural reason which came un-
der our Americans notice. On one
occasion the diver observed, while
under the sea, that the curious wa
vering shadows, which cross the lus-
trous, golden floor like Frauenhofer's
lines on the spectrum, began to
change and lose themselves. A pur-
pie glory of intermingled colors dark
ened The violet curtains of the sea-
chambers, reddening all glints and
tinges with an angry fire. Instead
of that lustrous, golden armament,
the thallassphere darkened to Grim
son and opal. The walls grew pur-
pie, the floor as red as blood; the
deep itself was purpled with the ven
Gus hue of deoxidized life currents.
The view on the surface was even
more magnificent. The sea at first
assumed the light tawny or yellowish
red of sherry wine. Anon this wine
color grew instinct with richer radi-
ance; as far as eye could see, and
flashing in the crystalline splendor
of the Arabian sun, was glorious
sea of rose. The dusky red sand
stone hills, with a border of white
sand and green and lowered foliage,
like an deliberately wrought cup9 of
Bohemian glass enamelled with bril-
liant flowers, held the sparkling liq-
uid petals Of that rosy sea. The
surface, on examination, proved to
be covered with a thin brick-dust
layer of infusoria slightly tinged
with orange. Placed in a white
glass bottle, this changed into a deep
violet, but the wide surface of the
external sea was of that magnificent
and brilliant rose. color. 1t was a
new and pleasing example of the
lustrvus, evcr-varying beauty of the
oc an world. 1t was caused by dat
omace@, minute alg@, which under
the microscope revealed delicate
threads gathered in tiny bundles, and
rings, like blood disks,
of that curious coloring-matter in tiny
tubes.
This miracle of beauty is not with
out its analoeies in other SEAS

MILL AND EMERSON.

He lately expressed great satisfac-

London during Mr.. Emerson's visit.
He had met Emerson casually when
the latter was here on former visit

then, after some pause, proceeded to
give some critici ms upon Emerson's
works, which showed that he had
read them all through and through
with the most careful thought.

things-but [ am quoting from

OF his reverence, and the humility

A FAMOUS FEMALE CLIMBER

A woman was famous, long before
the Alpine Club existed, as having
made the ascent of twenty-five Swiss
mountains. This was Mile. dan

was early seized with "the climbing
monomania." for which her vigorous
health and strong will early prepar-
ed her. Her first attempt, leading
her in the end to try the ascent of
Mont Blanc, was tothe Mer de Glaze

twelve hours stiff walking, she re-
