A WORD 'rO ADyERTTNERs.

1t Is an admitted fact that the SANTA BAR
BARA PRESS is the leading journal of South
ern California, and has much larger circu-
lati0n than any other newspaper in that sec
tIon, being more chiefly read by the more
thrifty families, and hence its advantages to
advertisers are obvious. novoOtf

A Test for PhrenOlogy.

SCIENTIFIC tests are now all the rage,
and are applied to locomotive boiler as
well as to q plOwman's prayer; I there
fore venture to lay before you q test of
phreuology, which believe to be both
novel and scientific. Its infallibility rest
on the fact that the brain of man, q well
Is his body gives of more heat when In q
state Of activity than when in q state of
rest and that this surplus heat can, and
has been, measured in both instances by
means Of tEe thermo-electric multiplier.
The nsodus operandi Is as follows you get
subject, or patient, or what IL better q
person who Is willing to be both, and set
him to read novel, or to do some light
work, such as sheliing peas, ETC., which
requires no thought or exercise Of brain
power. You then apply delicate ther-
mo-electric pile (which Is connected with
a multiplier) to one or more of his bumps
lhaving previously seen that there is no
local Inflammation of the parts). You
then carefully note the degree Of heat
shown on the multiplier In each instance
(say Of the bumps of imitation and con-
structiveness). This being done, ysu set
the subject to copy drawing or some
writing, and again apply the electric pile
to the bump Of imitation. Now II the in
eCrument shows an excess Of heat above
that noticed In the first instance, or even
Il 1t shows any excess of heat, In the par
ticular spot known as the bump Of imita-
don, above that Of the surrounding
bumps; think, SIR, that we may conclude
that phrenology is not altogether farce,
and that the bump In question Is the seat
OF the greatest activity In the brain during
the action Of imitation. We can also
Try the bumps of constructlveness and am
ativeness by setting the subject to write
. love letter or the bumps Of veneration
and calculation by setting him to say his
prayers and add up row Of figures. II
you think there is any difficulty in getting
the subject to be patient and tractable un-
der the test, advise that he be mesmer-
lied before proceeding. Ihave not tried
the experiment myself, but think that
some Of our scientific readers NAV be in
duced to pursue the investigation. the re-
suits of which / feel confident, would be
interesting, not only to the readers of the
Setenttfe American, but to the world at
large.-Cor. Scientific American.

The thriving young town of st.
Petersburg has met like disaster
with that which befell her trans-Allo.
gheny sister, Parker's Landing, only
few days since. Nearly the entire
business portion of the town was de-
stroyed last night by fire. Both sides
of Main street were swept away, the
fire ceasing only when it had exhaust
ed the material. In the lack of water
and fire apparatus the fire had almost
free scope for its destructive work.
ST.. PETERsBURG, Feb. Pip p. m.
At $50 p, m. fire broke out in the
saloon kept by Fred. Hepp and rapid.
ly spreading eastward consumed al.
most the entire business portion of the
town. The buildings being all of
wood and situated closely together the
fire burned freely. There being no
engines and but little water no efiec-
tive stand could be made against the
fire.
The following are the principal
buildings burned The St. Peters
