this season. Among the gentlemen. fulI
dress was the rule, ard the ladies exhibited
many very pretty, and, in some
instances. costly toilettes. But why il
is necessary for every fat cd ladv
to deck herself cut in more 90 ueons
colors than the sense of fitness in a bird-of
paradise would allow, always has been CO.
nundrum to me. But it may be that that
feeling Of self-abnegation proverbialy d MID
the breasts of motners-in-law flourishes in
those of chdperOnes, and that this overpower-
ing insight into the mysteries of color is
Gun iDgly con'rved foil for the delicate har-
monies revealed in the fresh toettes OF .heir
charges The crowded floor OF ball room
at a fashionable hotel is ever source of much
amusement and edifcation to me. There is
las heard young lady say last night that
dear Augustus, who waltZes too sweetly TO

ton, so l might tell her that Augustus had
better hold his tenure Of life as ! ng as poss-
bic for in all probability his celestial av0ca-
tions would leave little time for saltatory
amusements, but didn't succeed. Just then
my attention was attracted to a less grace fu
dancer, who, although he tried hand aud like
young M cawber doubtless meant wel,' vet
like that young hopeful seemed to turn
his means in no particular direction" save
to distress his partner, who had a drOOping
cast oi couDtenance that was eT ough to draw
tears from landlord eyes. When will such
creatures learn that poor waltzer is not on
ly an aDominatiOn 10 the eyes OF man aud
woman but ID the sight of heaven? Ii is very
amusing to watch the celerty with which the
gentlemen fly through galop, when their
partners are girded with belt and chatelaine
to which is attached one of those ponderous
weapons OF offence or defense, modern fan.
AT one instant flying in mid air, the next it
descends with terrific force and momentum
upon his tender shin5 or prominent calves,
he darts away mady with startled look
in his eyes that iTresistlbly reminds one OF a
hart painting for the Water-brooks. These ac-
compartments of the female toilette are prob
ably the cause OF more genuine profanity
among the steiner sex than anythi g ese,
unless it be the bundles, bandboxes and poo-
dies which form the impedimentd of the fair
pleaSure-seekers.

For 1869 we have a deere ase IL the number
Of vessels A per cent and an increase in the
number OF wrecks 21 per cent.
The speaker then went on TO show how
those who have conveyed the idea that the
problem of finding the longitude at sea is
completely solved, are gully of inspiring an
over confidence, which is without doubt the
| cause of very many wrecks. To exhibit the
data which forms the data of the discussion,
a week chart was produced of which the
most remarkable feature was the uniformi Y
Ofthe number OF wrecks under each of the
causes under which they were arranged A
prediction of the number for 1870. was made
the wreck register not yet having arrived
The problem is discussed under four
heads:
1. Wrecks produced by causes clearly be-
yopd human control.
2. Wrecks caused directly or indirectly By
over insurance.
3. Wrecks caused by deviation of the CON-
pas.
A. Wrecks caused by errors of observation
while at sea.
About 10 per cent. of wrecks are caused bv
prelentable occurrences as many in
sured vessels are lost as of uninsured. He
then g1es on to enumerate the results arrived
at by different observations at sea. He also
discussed the errors of chronometers. And
his conclusion is from the pape~, that it L.
safe to say that navigator who assumes that
he can set the place of his ship lertainlv With
in Ave miles or within fifteen miles by an CD
servation at sea. exhibits an assurance and
over~confidence which may lead him to ruin.

The Metric System in Medicine.
fRead before the A "A 81

a method of kdrDlonizing dpothec0ries and
metric systems of tCeight, read by Il. b. Eli
Ott. The units of apothecaries' weight and the
units of metric system as at present are not
commensurate. 1t is desirable to harmonize
them, and in such way as to give minimum
annoyance to those using them, and to eff
ciently protect against accidents in their use
which may endanger the life of patients. The
fundamental unit in the apothecary system is
the Troy grain the unit of the metric system
is the gramme. The number of Troy grains
/, gramme is 15.432349. If We augment the
weight ofthe Troy grain by about ;hree(m (mnre
exactly 2.SS) per cent, the new grain so iorm-
ed will be contained in the gramme exactly
fifteen times,-a very simple ratio. And the
accidental substitution of this new grain for
the old grain aud vice versa by the apotheca-
ry would not appreciably change 'ne quantity
of medicine in dose. In proposed system
it will be best to omit the term grdnme grain
from the series, for the reason that it is likely
to be confounded with the term grain. and
being fifteen times its weight blunder might
prove serious. The foll)wing Is the scale of re-
lation of the new grain with this metric series
proposed by Mr.. Elliott:
Proposed Apoth. wgt. Equiv. Troy grns.
crans.=1 tergIam q gram). .......... 5.14it
80 tergrams=1 eecagram. .......... .154.3?t
100 tergrams=1 ounce new ....... 5f4.04t
20 ounces=1 kilosram. ................ .164.32.t
= Il new grain=1 O2Ss Troy grains.
The corresponding table of measures of
capacity is as follows:
Oil minims.
8 minimss=1 fluid tergram. ........ 541s30
30 fluid tergrams=1 centi-liter (or fluid dec
agram). 1872 $500
100 fluid tergrams=1 fluid OF. ..J4lsSO
80 fluid ounees=l liter. 16254So
Il new minim=1.0 .0s3C6O old minim.
In the first of the above tables 1t will be
seen that the ounce is little larger than the
present ounce of 4S0 grains. II is equal in
weight to the proposed metric twenty dollar
gold pi, ce of the United States, and very
nearly equivalent to the existing double eagle.
