A Paris paper states that in tho French

COG sists in the restoration of old books
and manuscripts, and has been raised by
n few experts to q marvellous perfection.
The skill of these artists is, ineeed, SO
great no book is considered by them be-
yond their Transforming touch. They take
out the most inveterato stains and marks ;
they reinstAte the surface where holee have
been gnawed by rate or eaten by worm0 ;
they place missing lines and leaves in such
a way that no one can discover tue later
polation; they remake margins, given
them exactly tho color of the originals
in fact, 30 wen is this done that frequent
ly the most discrinaiRating judge can not
tell the restored copy nom the perfect ORR
giual work. Ornamental frontispieces,
editors marke, vigpettes, coat charms,
manuscripts or printed pages, all are imi-
tated to degree ofaccuracy that task even
the most prncticed eye. Such restoration,
however, is, of course, very expensive.
Thus, at sale of books some time ago,
n tattered, filthy, and repalsive, bat in
some respects quito Il unique, copy OF the
Beviary of Geneva brought only 500 en-
account of the damaged condition it was
in. The purchaser at once took it to
book restorer, who stated his terms to be
$1,000, and that tho process would req uire
a year.

Meriden one day last week thirty boys in
succession fell fainting to the floor,
to the infinite perplexitx of the presiding
pedagogue, and at last accounts all of them
we're still under medical treatment. In
the Absence of definite recital of symp-
toms such simultaneous seizure might
arouse o suspicion that the patients,
schoolboy like, had partaken in common OF
some poisonous substance; bat had this
been the case it wonld surely have been
detected by some Of the attending physi-
clans and that different aud probably
correct view of the matter has beer pro-
fessionally advanced is shown by the an
nouncemeat that "the school has been
closed for the purpose of overhaulipg she
water-pipes and affording better ventila-
ton" This sanitary solicitude comes bet
ter late than never; but very small
amount of knowledge might have suff1oed
to apply the " ounce Of prevention" before
the mischief reached such magnitude.
Dullness in learning lessoss, furred
tongues, aud headaches give warning of
chronic foul-air poisoning long before
actual suspension of animation occurs.

A book by De Bodiohon. which was snip
pressed by tho police twenty years ago, has
lately been Published in Paris. In it we find
the following vigorous portrait Of Napoleon
l.: Napoleon was neither dark nor fair. He
had dark chestnut hair, gray eyes, complexion
of pale brown without any red in it, and q
smooth skin. The brain~wss large the skull
belonged to the largest development ever
known. His circulation was slow, the pulse
counting forty beats q minute; he perspired
little, and was insensible alike to heat and
cold, hunger and thirst; his chest was promi-
nent, and his limbs were well-proportioped !;
his height was five feet two inches. OF q
Emphatic temperament, he could support alike
excess of physical and intellectual exertion.
coffee, and strong wines, Restored his circula.
tion. His intellect was vast aud ulany-sided,
applying itself to details and gensraiizatiops !;
took account of place, number and cause, and
the relations of things; genius, in fine, en-
ton, an extraordinary power of generalization
and sluggish teuPerauent, make mp this
wonderful man; ti'-so qualities are the
sources of his greatness"

= An experiment is reported to have been tried
before the Royal Geographical Society of Eng
land, by which the principle of tho circulation
of the waters of the sea was demonstrated. A
trough with plato glass sides about six feet
long and foot deep, bat not TnoEe than an
inch wide, filed with water. St ono end
piece of ice was wedged in between the sides
to represent the polar cold, while the tropic
heat was represented at the other end by
bar of metal laid across the surface of the
water. the projecting end of which was heated
by spirit lamp. Red coloriag matter was
then mt in at the wRrm end and bIue at tho
cold end, 90 that tho currents could he traced.
The blue water, chilled by contact with the
ice, immediately fell down to the bottom, crept
slowly along, and gradually rose toward the
surface of the equatorial end, after which it
gradually returned along the surface to the
starting point. The red water crept first along
the surface of the polar end, then fell to the
bottom Just as tho blue had done, and formed
another stratum, creeping back again along
the bottom and coming to the surface. Each
color made a distinct circulation during the
half hour in which the audience viewed the
experiment.

A Valuable Tree.

At the last meeting Of the French Acad-
envy Of Sciences, an Interesting commune
catioa was read from III. Gimbert, who has
been long engaged in collecting evidence
concerning the Australian tree Eucalyptus
globuIus, the growth of which is surprising-
~ rapid, attaining besides gigantic dimen-
sions. This plant, it now appears pos
sesses an extraordinary power OF aestroy,ns
miasoaatic influence in fever-stricken DIS
tricta. 1t has the angular property OF 40
sorbing ten times it's weight of water from
the soil, and of emitting antiseptic cam
phorous efiavia. When sown in marsoy
ground it will dry it mp ia worry short
time. The English were the hrst to try IL
they completely changed the climsterie
condition of the unhealthy part OF the
colony. A few years later its plantation
was undertaken on o large scale in various
parts Of Algeria. At Pondook, twenty
miles from Algeria, farm, situated on the
extremely pestilential air. In the spring
of 1867 about $4,000 eucalyptus were
planted there; in July of the same year,
the time when the fever season used to set
in, not o single case occurred yet che trees
were not more than nine feet high. Since
then, complete immunity from fever mas
been maintained. In the neighborhood OF
Constantine, the farn of Bon Machydin
was in equally bad repute; it was covered
with marshes both in winter and summer;
in five years the whole ground was dried
up by IA 900 of those trees, and farmers
and children enjoy excellent health. At
the factory of Cue de Constantine, in three
years, plantation of eucalyptus has trans
formed twelve acres Of marshy coil into
magnificent park, whence fever has com
pletely disappeared. In tho island of Cuba
this and all other paludean diseases are fast
disappearing from all the unhealthy districts
where this tree has been introduced. A
station house at one of the ends of rail
way viaduct in the department of the Var
was 80 pestilential that the officials could
not be Kept there longer than a year forty
of these trees were planted, and it is now
as healthy as any other place on the line.

filled four columns and half and Mr..
Beecher, in the same time, enunciated five

A REMARKABLE LAMP AT ST. PETERS

A REMARKABLE LAMP AT ST. PETERS
CHURCH, STATEN IsLAND.-The ceremony
of dedicating the Catholic churches, schools,
asylums, etc, of the ecciesiastical province
of New York to the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
last Monday, attracted special attention at
st Peters church, New Brighton, Staten
leland, Of which Rev. j. L. Conron is pas
tor. In the niche of the tabernacle, sur
rounded With wreaths of flowers, was dis
played a lamp OF unique design--the only
one of the kind in this country. The lamp
is of Bohemian glass, formed in the shape
of a heart, and set in the centre of fire
gilt stand similar to that used for the
miasal. When lighted up the red hue is
thrown out, producing most imposing
effect and realizing to the mind of the de-
vout Christian the burning love of the
heart of Christ for His people. This lamp
was brought from Dublin two months ago
by the pastor Of ST. Peters, who presented
it to Sister Felix, of the Order of Charity
in that parish, to be used in the convent
chapel at all hours. The dedication ser
vices were conducted by the Rev. Father
Go1don.-N. z. Herald.
