Discovery in Physics.


Prof. r. S. McCulloh of Washington
and Lee university, Virginia, informs
the Smithsonian institution that he has
made an original and important advance
in the development of physics. He
has succeeded in deducing galgebraically
from one single formula the whole Of
mechanics, including as molecular me
ehanics the subjects Of electricity, heat,
light, chemical action, elasticity, and
magnetism. He takes what is now call
ed the doctrine Of energy" to be con-
yertible only, and not destractible, and
founds upon it a complete mathematieo-
physical structure, embracing the whole
of physics as development Of one sin
gle formula. The only exceptions are
electro-statical and eleetrO-dynamieal
induction, and these viii form the sub
iect of special investigation. Induction,
the professor believes to be merely the
development of polarity At a distance
without ascribing it TO one or two fluids,
or any fluid at all, but the mathemati-
cal theory is perfectly recaneilable
with the Franklinian hypothesis, and
Franklin's fuid may be Fresnel's lu-
miniferous ether. Attraction aud re-
puIsion remain ultimate and inexplica-
bic physically; theologieally, however,
they are manifestations Of the Divine
will Professor McCulloh hopes soOn
to publish The results of his interesting
and original Investigation Wiashin0-
son Chronicle.

AMOEa sundry /" Maxims OF Carlson
Life" !" in a volume now IN press, which
is designed especially for soldiers. we
observe many points worthy of attsn-
ton from every one in whatever position
he may be placed. For example;
Be sure not to overrate your abilities,
but remember that your superior may
at any time stand st your elbow.
Do not distrust others without 3
most Just reason.
If you are married, respect no one So
cially who has not been duly eourte-
Gus 10 your family.
Be decided, kind. aud polite in all
your official and private relations.
Live within your income, and be Just
in all your dealings.
Be faithful to your friends, and eau
tious with your enemies.
Never allow yourself TO be led into
the bad habit Of grumbling or fault
finding, but be pleasant. agreeable, and
cheerful in all your duties.
Be careful, active, vigilRBt, and con-
siderate in the execusiOn Of all yonr
duties; and above all, be just to your
interiors.
II all persons, soldiers included, fol-
lowed these g maxims, the troubles OF

The men employed In the New York
Gas Works ut the foot Of 2lst street
East River, struck at noon to-day, and
forming in procession, marched to the
Mutual Gas Works at the foot Of 11th
street, where they endeavored to induce
the men there TO strike, In this they
were not successful, but they claim, how
ever 10 have the assurance that the men
would leave of on Monday. The strikers
then marched to the works Of the Man
haitian Company at East 14th, West 18th
and 18Th streets. The men in these
works refused 10 join them at present
but promised to consider the matter. The
march was next to the Metropolitan
Works at West 49d street, but no acces'
slons to their ranks were obtained there
This strike was not entirely unexpected
by the gas companies, and the men had
hardly walked out Of the New York Gas
Works, when fllty.four Italians and Swiss
took their places. This oct stirred up
the ire OF tho strikers, and they threaten
ed Ito annihilate the Italian street sweep
ers in that neighborhood, but the prompt
arrival OF q detachment of police secured
peace. Strong details OF police arc sta
toned in and around the gas works, and
prevent the strikers gathering in the
neighborhood, and they are kept con.
stantly moving. Up TO this evening no
fights had taken place. Bunks and cook.
ing ranges have been erected in the works
where the strike occurred, so that the
men have no occasion 10 leave the prem
ises. The strike Is for eight hours and
