SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER g, 1873.

These men have devoted their lives to
civilization and Christianity, and will not
civilized and Christian nations, especially
our own, in such an emergency, owe them
protection to life and property? The
timely arrival Of a ship-ofwar saved Bey-
rout from a horrible massacre Of Christians
in 1860. If it had been delayed twenty
four hours probably not one Of our mission
aries would have survived.
The interests Of America in her citizens
in the Ottoman Empire, it seems to me,
would justify the presence Of one or more
ships-of.war on that coast The Moslems
have healthy fear Of big guns, breech-
leaders, and Yankee courage.
There will be a terrible overturning in
this Empire soon, aud it will come sud
denly. An intelligent Greek residing at
Damascus, who lived through the massacre
of 1860 by taking refuge in the Pacha' $
palace, told me that another such massacre
might break out any day-that in case
Russia should make any offensive demon
stration against Constantinople, the Mos
lem fanatics would rise in an hour and
cxterminate the Christians.
1t is to be hoped that Russia will not, in
the general crash, become master of Syria
and Palestine. There is now more real
liberty of opinion, of the press, aud Of
speech, in Turkey than in the Russian
Empire, and wherever they can gain the
ascendency our missionary colleges, schools,
churches, and printing presses will be fet-
tered, and at last stranged.

As we are passing through the heated
term, the following specific against sun
stroke may save from illness and death
many whose occupations oblige them to
be in the field or on the street:
" About a year since / saw in news
paper an account Of a case Of sunstroke.
written by the party himself. After suf.
fering long time from the attack, and
having to considerable degree recovered,
he experienced suffering even from the
rays Of the moon. This led him to the
reflection that it was not altogether the
heat Of the sun that produced prostration.
After much research, he discovered that
the injury came from the chemical ray,
and not from the heat ny. He was
guided to this by observing the fact that a
photograph could not be taken through a
hollow glass. Accordingly, he lined his
hat with two linings-one Of the oranee
yellow to arrest the chemical ray. and one
Of green to arrest the heat ray. Thus pre-
pared, he went where the rays Of the sun
were most intense with perfect impunity.
1t is well known that the negro is seldom
sun-struck. The color of his skin over
the skull being Of the orange yellow, may
assist in accounting for the fact. I prac-
ticed upon this suggestion all last summer,
lined my hat with green and orange yellow
paper, and had confidence enough in the
truth of the theory to neglect my umbrel-
la, which / had never done before.
mentioned it to many who tried it also,
and in many cases that came under nv
observation they uniformly asserted that the
oppressive heat Of the sun upon the head
was much relieved. Science Monthly.

Mountain Vegetation.

Heat and moisture are the two princi-
pal causes which preside over the growth
of the vegetable Kingdom. The similarity
between the different stages of aigh
mountain and different attitudes has long
been remarked. To make the ascent Of
Mont Blanc is equivalent to Journey to
Lapland. The limit Of vegetation is de-
pendent on that of perpetual snow, and
the point of elevation where these SHOWS
begin rests upon the mean annual temper
ature Of the country. In the Andes it
reaches about FIVE thousand yards; on the
southern slopes of the Himalaya nearly
six thousand in Switzerland, about three
thousand and in the sixty-ffth degree Of
latitude, no more than two thousand
The extreme dryness of such high re-.
gions, and the burning heat of the sun,
sometimes produce the same effect as a
long season Of frosty weather. In this
manner many species are arrested in their
propagation by cause exactly inverse to
that which brings death TO the majority
Of plants on the summit Of mountains. and
indeed perpetual snow alone cannot be re-
garded as an insurmountable obstacle to
vegetable life. There are a few plants
which can live in it; saxifrage in the
Andes, called after the celebrated traveller
and chemist Boussingault, is found on
rocks six hundred feet above the snow-leyel.
In the Alps, on Mont Blanc and Monte
Rosa, vegetation does not disappear for
more than three times this height; there a
few saxifrages, a gentiaD, ranunculus,
and chrysanthemum may be seen with
their attenuated stems. Around the gla-
ciers, wherever a space is free from snow,
or rift in the rocks furnishes shelter
against the strong frosts, mosses and
lichens cover the bare cold stone, with q
green carpet. The latter of these rise to
considerable heights, and are numerous,
while the mosses scarcely pass over the
limit of the last ferns.
In the Himalaya, vegetation is much
more active at such great heights, and the
striking analogy between these regions and
arctic countries is more marked. The
spring commences very late, but few
weeks of heat suffice for the plant to ac-
complish the various phases Of its annual
evolution, and, though Towering much
later than in the warm damp valley, the
seeds are formed long before those of its
lower neighbor. Hooker observed this in
his exploration of the Sikkam, a province
in the southern part of the Himalaya
There is then for vegetable life a real
calorifc capacity; their period Of growth
does not depend solely on the mean tenn
peraturc, but on the amount of available
heat that they receive.

A DRUGGIsT's MIsTAKE.-A few days
ago fair young lady stepped into drug
store and requested the clerk to fx her up
a dose of castor oil, and to mix il with
something that would take away the nause-
Gus taste. The man told her to wait a
short while. In few minutes he asked
her If she would like to have a glass Of
soda water. She very politely accepted
his kind offer and drank the beverage.
Presently the lady asked him IL her dose
was not most ready. The man smiled a
triumphant smile, and said: aWhy, miss,
you have already taken 1t. / mixed it
with the soda water you just drank At
this announcement the lady Immediately
turned deathly pale, sank into chair, and
exclaimed: "Gracious mercy wanted
