Brain work costs more food than hand work
According TO careful estimates and analyses
of the excretons, three hours of hard study
wear cut the body more than whole day f
severe physical labor. Another evidence of
the cost of brain work is obtained from the faoc
that though tie brain is only onefortieth the
weight, it receives about one-fifth Of all the
blood sent by the heart into the system.
Brain workers, therefore, require a more lib-t

Something Like Sport.

We have Just had an exciting chase
after three bears, says the Remove, Pa,
Record. Rev. Bell first came in con-
tact with them on what is called the
Bank" near Goodmans mill, when
he Immediately gave the alarm, and the
neighboring people-men, women, and
children-with guns and dogs, gave
rapid chase. The first and largest bear
was shot while in the act OF demolishing
several OF the dogs. Then followed the
most exciting time imaginable. The
second bear was surrounded In the
creek, nearly opposite the parsonage,
and n number Of shots were fred in
quick succession, but without effect,
when Mr.. Goodman, with club in hand,
and one OF his dogs, waded in and met
the bear in mid.water, and the battle
commenced in earnest. Shrieks OF ter
ror went up from the women and child.
rem on the bank; guns were exploded
In mid. air; hardy lumbermen trembled
for the fate OF the man and dog in the
water, while the crowd on the bank
with one accord gave directions as to
where to hit the bear next, &c. A Mr..
Campbell then rushed to the rescue,
and with one shot from his rifle put an
end to the strife, and bruin was dragged
to the shore. The two bears now lay
dead upon the bank, and the excited
and terror.stricken crowd gathered
around, each with clubs and stones
ready TO renew the fight should the
dead come to life. The third bear is
still at large, but is destined to meet o
similar fate. At oleona, back Of Henry
Anderson's residence, ono Saturday re.
Gently, eight bears emerged from the
woods. Chase was made byMr. Yerger
and another gentleman, who succeeded
in killing two OF them and mortally
wounding third. The mountains are
now alive with excited hunters, and
the chances Of the remaining bears arc
aim.

philosophical lectures, popular treatises
and school-books, sermons from the
pulpit and parental teachings at the
iireside, have all taken the fact as fixed
that the sun Is distant from the earth
ninety.Rve millions Of miles.
Let us now return to the necessity OF
perfect observations being made on the
approaching transits Of Venus in 1874
and 1882. DIR. Hooker, in his address
to the British Association four years
ago, remarked that "while fully ad-
hitting, and proudly, as every scien.
tiAc man ought, that astronomy is the
most certain in its methods and results
Of all sciences, that she has called forth
some OF the highest efforts OF the intel.
lect, and that her results far transcend
in grandeur those Of any other science.
I think we may hesitate before We
therefore admit her queenship, her per.
fection, or her sole claims TO interpre.
tation and to prophecy. No science Is
really perfect certainly not that which
lately erred two millions Of miles in SO
fundamental a datum as the earths dis.
tance from the sum-"
No doubt similar views are held by
others, and the fact cannot be denied
that astronomers are now generally
agreed that the hitherto received value
OF the suns distance ought TO be con.
siderably modified. The theories Of
astronomy, however, are less in fault
than tho incorrectness Of heavenly OBJ
seryations, whenever such q mistake is
made. That errors are almost unayoida-
ble-eyen with the utmost care, when
the gaze is directed into the star.depths
will be manifest, II the reader will
remember that four millions OF miles
OF the suns distance from the earth are
represented by the angular measure
ment Of three.tenths OF second Of IN
arc, or the apparent breadth OF a hu-
man hair one hundred md twenty-five
feet distant.
No solar phenomenon has ever been
awaited with such interest as is that
which is to occur December 8, 1874.
II the observations which will be made
upon this transit OF Venus should be
successful or, in other words, II the
actual distance OF the sun from the
earth be accurately aScertained, II will
be the noblest triumph which the hui
man mind has ever achieved in the do
main Of physical science.

The oyster, when spawning. does not
cast It's eggs like other fish, but dis.
solves, rs it were, Q part OF It's own
body, which passes off in long, slender
threads, as fine rs spiders web, upon
which arc congregated millions OF little
eggs, not visible to the naked eye, but
Which, when put under q powerful
magnifying glass, astonish the beholder
by their number. It is estimated that
about seventy per cent. OF the spawn is
destroyed by fish, and about ten per
cent. from other causes, leaving twenty
per cent. TO find their way into market.
These little seed cling to whatever
they touch, generally old oysters and
the many little shells ono often sees
clinging to large oysters are but the
growth Of these seeds. When oysters
have spawned In q clear space, and free
from fish enemies, their growth is very
rapid until they attain the size Of o
quarter Of dollar, and II Is OF this
