dor considerable pressure, filled the whole
place. and eXtinguished one burning mas
after the other; and even the rag neapS y.
the attic. which. after the fall OF the rooi'
were burning in the open ar, became
more and more surrounded with steam.
so that in halt an hour after the steam
was admitted all danger was cOnSldered
over. and the fircmen, who had IN the
meantime arrived with their engines, con-
Sidered their labor unnecessary. 1t having
been so cffectually replaced by steam.
The German papers point OUT tiiat e'-

possesses the most powerful hrc eXtin-
guisher. which he may make avallaoie oy
prOper additional arrangements. FOR IN
stance, wrought iron gas pipes cOnnecteo
with the boiler, branching of into every
room. may be provided with stop cocks
which. i'm case of fire, may be turned on.
and so every portion of the building may
be filled with steam. 1t is recommended,
especally. that thcaters should nave
steam tubes connected with a system OF
heating in which, by means of petroleum
or some equivalent as fuel, a great guam
titv of steam could be raised within ten
minutes. or even less, and blown INTO the
burning portion of the building. AS no
pressure is necessary for such an appara-
tus. it may be constructed In simple
manner, and still be perfectly safe; hut
the quantity of steam must be suiiicicnt.
and therefore the whole problem is to gen.
crate the largest possible amount OF steam

The Spanish and the MOdOcS.

The To- dc Cuba has been crtici>ing the
recent encounter between the Modoc In
dians and the United States troops. Ii
thinks that ''this Indian war wounds hu-
manity in its nOblest sentiments, ana Is Il
real scandal to this century OF humanlta-

insinuateS that President Grant needs IN
Struction in the means of civlliZlng the

sending forth of correspondents from Eu-

Steam as a Fire Extinguisher.

DIR. WIEDENBUCH. of Wiesbaden, re-
Gently published in the POtytcchntc Jo0-
nal an article on this subject, and points
out the advantage that steam, while 1t is
not a supporter of combustion and ex-
tinguisces fire by driving the air away, Is
not irrespirable per Sc, and does not act
iniuriously on living beings, like carbonlc
acid, sulphurOus acid, and other gases
VIII ch are non-suppOrters Of combustion.
The only danger of steam Is that, when
escaping under or. at pressure, as when
superheated, it will scald any one who is
close to the point of escape: while, at
distance, it coOls so rapidly by its own ex-
pansiOn that it soon becomes harmless s..
DIR. Wiedenbuch's last opportunity OF
witnessing the effectiveness of steam as a
fire extinguisher was on the occasion of a
fire in factory $50 feet long and 80 feet
wide; it was one story high, with an attic
separated by wooden floor. The attic
was filled Yith great many tons OF rags,
shavings. leather scraps, ETC., and among
these, "A fire broke out in the night, which
was only discovered when half the roo1

4 Parsee Sensation.

The Parsce community Of Bombay has
lately been stirred to its uttermost depths
by a circumstance which. To one not Ito
the manner born,'' would seem To be OF
but Il trivial nature. \ Parsee lady. the
wife of one of the most wealthy and IN
fluential members of the sect, appeared
with some English ladies at private con
cert given in the city, and sang tn well
known song entitled Her Bright Smile
haunts me still" This event. says the
Bos,Jdu Gazette, caused great sensation
among her caste, young IorOaster highly
approving the courage Of the Lady VINO
thus assimilattd and fraterniZcd with her
English sisters, while old Ioroaster. rep

riOuS and insulting, venting his dlspltas-

is but single manifestation of the social
and political teud which. for number OF
wears. has divided the ParSee community
of Western India. This sect, when
numbers about hundred thousand sous,
among whom are many OF the wealtille>t
and most intelligent of the native popuia'
ton in and around Bombay, i represeh-
ted by two distinct wings, when we may
call Conservative and Liberal. each pro-

great teacher, but differing III the con

cient customs and Obseryances, however
much thev NAV be behind the spirit OF the
age. For Instance, he insists upon taking
his meals in the good Old-fashloned way
/ of his fathers-squatting on a mat beside
his copper platter, raised about three
! inches from the floor, and helping himself
with his fingers. He observes strictly all
the rites and purificatiOns enjoined by MS
religion, says his prayers sixteen times
each day, will not sat food cooked Dy any
person of another faith, and keeps hi-
wife and daughters in ignorance ana Sc
clusiOn. The liberal, on the contrary, be-
lieyes i'm conforming to modern progress,
and lives like an English gentleman. a
far as Eastern necessities will permit. lie
advocates the abolition of some OF the us

the number of obligatory prayers, the ed

Honey and its Healing Qualities.

A German teacher has lately written
work on the subject of honey and It's neal
ing properties. While he may Over-estl-
mate its value, what he says is interest
ing. We quote: "A strong influence for
publishing this book was the fact that l,
a sufferer from hemOrrhages, already
given up to despair, and at the verge OF
the grave. was saved by the wonderful
curative powers of honey and now. thank
God, am freed, not only from weakness
of my lungs, but rejoice in the possession
of perfect health.
"At nv first attack, upwards of thirty
wears ago, powders and tea were ordered
| for me, which benefited me but little. l
then placed little confidence in honey,
which used occasionally, and in small
quantities. Judging from my present
knowledge, believe that the honey was
the only remedy that was doing me any
good, and it is this that | have to thank
for the gradual, the sure restoration OF my
health.
"As my disease increased l began t.
use cod liver oil, which weakened and in
jured my stomach, so that l could hardl.
digest anything more, and my condition
became worse and worse. Agai;; returne'
to honey. when nv sufferings immediately
began to decrease and disappear. Beside
the use of honey, took pains to. preserv
my breast and lungs from injury, which
in my trying situation as public teacher
was almost impossible. My disease bein
caused by my constant teaching durin
so many years, gave up my profession
/ and honey was my only medicine, wher
by l, by the simplest, safest, quickest an
e pleasantest manner (for l was fond
l. honey, relieved the disease in my throa
and out of thankfulness now write tn
:. book for the use and benefit of many. {

diseases of the throat and lungs"

Berlin's Moral aud Social Condition

BERLIN appears to be reapng consequen-
ces of the late war similar TO those which
have marked our American cities.
pamphlet recently published in Germany.
entitled "Berlin's Moral and Social Con
dition," gives anything but flatterlng
picture of the capital city of the new Ger
man Empire. Ont of a population OF
eight hundred and thirty-three thousand,
one hundred and twenty-five thousand
are receiving public charity. In 1867 nine
per cent. OF the population lived in Gel,
lars, and twenty per cent. in crowded
apartments. Since then two hundred
| thousand souls have been added to the
population, and rents have Increased
greatly, so that the poor are compelled TO
nav nearly half their earnings tor decent
shelter. and numbers have been forced to
sleep out-of-dOOrs. 1t is said to be dan
gerous to 90 through the streets unarmed,
because of the increase of the rOwdy ele-
ment. and petty riots and conflicts with
the police are frequent. More than hall
the population are wOrking-peOple, and
the city has become the center of the so
cialistic movement. Many of the work
men also openly favor community o.
wives. Divorces have increased to tel
Der cent. of the number of marriages sol
emniZed. The attendance at the churche'
has decreased to one per cent. OF tn'
adult population, and. of twenty-thre'
thousand funerals in 1870, nearly twenty
. thousand were performed without any re
lioiOus ceremonies whatever. WOmel
flock by thousands to Berlin to obtail
employment, and, falling. large number
, fall into shame. This evil has become g
great that strenuous efforts have beel

Important Dynastic Movement In the
East.

The Sultan's action of prOclaiming His

in. as it is most likley it will, will exercise
a most important and decisive influence
on the current of Eastern affairs, anu IL
NAV be on the active diplomacy OF the
Old World Great Powers with reference
thereto. Very late accounts from Con-
stantinople bring information that there
prevails a serious difference among the
Turks on the subject of the crown success
sion. Under the law which has regulated
the heirship during the last five hundred
wears the crown always passes to the eid-
est male of the imperial family whose
father was on the throne at the time OF his
birth, so that as rule the sultans have
beer succeeded. not by Their sons. but by
their brothers. It was in accordance with
this law that the present Sultan, Aodui

his brother. Abdul Medjid 10Th OF June,
1861. though the latter left seven sons.

whom, YOussOuf IZeddin, was born on
