MEDITATION ALONE.

1t will do US good to be often lef
alone, and sitting alone; ard if we
have the art of improving solitude,
we shall find we are never less alone
than when alone Meditation and
prayer ought to be both our business
and our delight when we are alone;
while we have a God, Christ, and
a heaven to acquaint ourselves with,
and to secure an interest In, we need
NOT want matter either for medita-
ton or prayer; which, if they go TO-
gether, will mutually befrieni each
other. Our walks in the field are
then truly present, when in them we
apply ourselves to meditation and
prayer. We there have a free and
open prospect of the heavens above
us, and the earth around us, and the
hosts and riches of both; by the
view of which We should be led to
the contemplation of the Maker and
Owner of all.-Mattheac HENRY.

SIGNS OF DEATH.

ty of the finger soon becomes red.
the depth of the color increasing to
dark red and violet, while the skin
bove the ligature remains white.
This is easily understood, as, ifthere
be any circulation of the blood, the
ligature prevents the return of the
venous blood, while fhe arteries
still continue to convey it to the cap
illaries. A test so simple can be
applied without difficulty, and seems
to be quite decisive. -Harpey's

MAKING PEOPLE DRUNK BY
oat4 ua CONTRACT. ,,aaaus.-is


A Calcutta correspondent of the
Dundee Advertiser thus describes a
native publican and his establishment:
SIN the usual native hut, built of bam-
boo poles, lined with bamboo mats,
and covered with a thatch of coarse
grass, dwells a toddy seller, or the
publican of the district. Teddy is
drawn from one kind of palm tree.
A hole is made IA the tree under the
branches, an earthenware pot is slung
underneath, and in few hours gal
Ion of liquor is collected. AS it
comes from the tree it is innocuous,
but when fermented-a process OF
rapid development-it becomes intox-
icating. 1t presents the appearance
of milk and water with froth like a
soulfilee on the top. This teddy sell
er undertakes to make people drunk
by contract; four annas, or sixpence
sterling, is the usual price for a
strong-headed person. To increase
the intoxicating power of the toddy
the seller adds the juice of some
plants Of a deleterious nature. We
have frequently watched the process.
Seated in front Of the hut on mat
the party to be operated on takes the
liquid; he very soon presents a hila
rious appearance, enjoys for very
short time the delights ofthe excite
ment, gradually tumbles over, falls
asleep, and awakes the most misera
ble-looking creature imaginable, fore

lCICLES.

Icicles are a pretty paradox. formed
by the process Of freezing in sun
shine hot enough to melt snow.
They result from the fact that air is
all but completely transparent to
the heat rays emitted by the sun;
that is, such rays pass through the
air without warming it.
Snow is one Of the many objects
which absorb and are warmed by
solar heat. On a sunny day you
may see the SUBMITS Of the high
Alps gliStening with the water of
liquefaction, while the air above and
laround the mountains may be many
degrees below the freezing point.
The same thing happens to the snow
upon your house-roof. The sun
plays upon it, and mel:s it. The
water trickles to the caves, and hangs
in a drop. 1.-THE caves are in the
shade, or in declining sunshine, or
the air intensely cold with brilliant
sun, the drop, instead Of falling,
congAals. An infant icicle is form
ed. Other drops and driblets src-
coed, which both thicken at the
root and lengthen it. The drainage
from the snow, after sunshine is
gone, continues to produce icicles
until the flow OF waite: is stopped by
the frost. In the Alps, DR.. Tyndall
tells US, when the liquefaction is CO.
Ipious and the cold intense, icicles
grow to an enormous size. Over
the edgee (mostly of the southern
edges Of the chasms, hangs coping
of snow, and from this depend, like
stalactites, rows of transparent icic-
les, ten, twenty, thirty feet long.

full features of the higher crevasses.
But an icicle would be incomprehen-

and still leave it at a.. ICY tempera-

The ''singing fame" which at
first view might seem to be merely
a curious phenomenon. is found to
be- in fact, a discovery of very high
Importance for science and the useful
arts. One of the latest applications
OF this principle is that made by DR..
A. X. Irvine of the British iron and
steel institute, who makes use of the
singing flame in the construction of a
safety lamp for mines. If an ex-
.plosive mixture of inaamable gas
and air be passed through and ig-
nited on the surface of disk of wire
gauze too fine to suffer the flame to
traverse it, and then, surrounded by
d chimney to prevent air from enter
ing, save through the game, the
flame vibrates, and the vibration be
ing communicated to the ascending
gases, produces sound varying in
pitch and intensity according to tn,
height and calibre of the, chimney.
A lamp constructed on this principle
will give timely warning to the mi
ner whenever the atmosphere and the
