New Russian Iron-Clad.

Admiral Popoff, the inventor of the
round iron-clad, has at length the salts
faction of seeing his idea carried ont :;
and scientific men will now have an OPP
portunity of Judging whether the Po-
povka is likely to be studied as a model
for other vessels of the same type, or
whether she is only to serve as monu-
ment of the inventors ingenuity. The
Novgorod, as the new iron-clad is called
was built at Nicolaieff, and sent
from that port to Sebastopol, where she
arrived on the 18th inst, amid the &C
Carnations of an immense crowd which
had been anxiously waiting to see her.
This strange looking vessel, which has
been so much talked about, is thus des-
cribed by a correspondent of the Nico-
laieff Messenger:
"Imagine large bowl sunk to its
edne in the water, covered with a sau-
Ger of the same diameter, turned up
side down, on the bottom of which is
placed a glass of a cylindrical form.
All this together forms the hull of
vessel weighing more than $50, 900
pounds-say 2, 400 tons-built entirely
of iron. The saucer represents the
deck of the ship, and the glass the tur-
ret, which is to be armed at SebastopCl
with two enormous 11-inch guns"
The Popovka steams eight knots an
hour, and is easily manageable.
THERE IS NO DEATH.-If it be true
that nature abhors vacuum, it is equal
ly true that the great creator abhors
death and glories in life. There is re-
ally no such thing as death, the term is
a misnomer, used to designate the chan
ges which occur in life. Life, eternal
life, is created by the laws of almighty
will-power, which are as immutable in
their application as is the existence of
the Creator himself. When God made
life, He made everything necessary to
sustain it, but left it for mans progress
sive intelligence to discover, convert
and utilize. Good medicine is to the
ailing physique what good fuel is to the
expiring flame the better the fuel, the
quicker the fire, the better the medi-
cine, the quicker comes relief from pain.
California Vinegar Bitters is ife's elixir
for old or young. Use this medicine
properly and you will live to a good old
age without those physical ailments
which make seventy years burden.

A BOrANIST's PROTEST. Atkin-
son, an eminent English botanist. pro-
tests against the extirpation of rare wild
plants though the eagerness of incon-
siderate specimen hunters. This work
of destruction is encouraged by the per-
sistent offer of prizes for the largest and
best collection, by botanic societies.
thus often leading collectors, in their
anxiety to defeat their competitors,
into the haOit of destroying such pre-
cious plants as cannot conveniently be
taken away. The indignant botanist
adds The absurd notion seems to pre-
vail that botany consists in the getting
together, no matter by what means, of
as many specimens as possible, especi-
ally of the rarer species, and calling
them by their scientific names and this
without the least pretensiOn to a knowl-
edge of their intimate nature, as if mere
physiognomy were quite above physi-
ology. Accordingly, money is offered
to encourage a system which, so far
from being a test of the knowledge of
the candidate, or likely to direct them
In the right road for its pursuit, only
tends to foster mere vanity and to lead
the mind from the tue path of science.
This last and most essential point might
be gained, and the knowledge of the
competitors tested far more effectually
by means at ence easy and rational, and
without the least damage to those rare
plants which it is our duty to protect
and preserve.
