Terrible Effects of the Cold Snap.

The mischief which few degrees of
temperature, more or less, can produce.
is fearfully exemplified by the intelh-
gence which the telegraph brings daily.
A fall of 10 degrees in the thermometer
within few hours has caused terribly
destructive fires all over the country.
produced by overheating, and involving
loss of millions of dollars; has broken
rails and wheels and wrecked numerous
trains, with fearful loss of life; has eff
fectually stopped the business of two
large cities, New York and Boston; has
summary suppressed the transmission
of mails and merchandise all over the
Eastern States; has destroyed thousands
of dollars worth of steamboat and barge
property at Memphis, and will probably
do the same thing at st. Louis before
long, as the ice is gorged both above
and below that city; has caused great ex-
pense, and, in some instances. loss of
life, by the explosion of boilers and
kitchen ranges; has cut off, it is report
ed, the Michigan fruit prospects; and
has resulted i'll multitude of minor
casualties and accidents all over the
country, not to mention the extreme suf-
fering incident to poverty and exposure.
During the spring, summer. and fall, all
the disastrous elements of those seasons
seem to have been let loose, and now
winter adds it's dismal catalogue OF hor-
rors, caused by the ice, the snow, the
frost, and the Chicago Tribune.

Siberia.

Siberia contains an area of 400, 900
square miles, and has a population of
100000. This vast country. writes a
correspondent of the Alaska Herald, is,
without doubt, one of the richest min
eral regions in the world The gold
yield for a single year of the mines of
Tomsk is stated at eleven millions. In
mense quantities of iron and copper
abound, and there are valuable coal, tin,
lead, and zinc mines. Beautiful speci-
mems of jasper and porphyry are found
III several Of the districts. The fur pro-
ducts of Siberia are not surpassed by
any country in the world In 1871 there
were exported to San Francisco, among
other valuable furs, nearly 1000 sable
skins and over 43, 900 dried and sailed
fur-seal skins. Large quantities of sea-
otter skins were also sent here There
is almost an endless variety of fur-bear-
ing animals-bear, deer, beaver, marten,
mink, gray, red, cross, white, and blue
fox, etc. Most of the products of a
temperate cline are attempted, and in
the more southern districts corn has
been harvested. The inhabitants, as is
well known, are principally Russian, and
in great part consist of persons who have
been banished from Russia proper for
political or other offenses.

Do Climates Change ?

Old people complain that the seasons
are warmer, colder, or more rainy than
when they were young. Their COM
ments are ridiculed because most per-
sons believe that no very marked changes
have or ever will take place in a section
of country where stability in nature is a
settled fact-that is, SHOWS in winter,
showers in April, and trees have leaves
in spring.
Atmospheric alteration is certainly GO
ing on from age to age, more strongly
evident in some parts of the country
than in others.
Here are illustrations. Two thousand
years ago the climate of Italy was far
colder than now. The Loire and Rhone,
in ancient Gaul, used to freeze over an
nually. Juvenal says the Tiber froze SO
firmly in his day that the ice had to be
cut to get at the water. Horace indi-
Gates tbs presence of ice and snow in
the streets of Rome, and Ovid asserts
that the Black Sea freezes over every
year.
So extreme was the cold at that far-off
period in history, that it stands chroni-
cled by the ancients that in Gaul. Ger
many, Pannonia and Thrace, snow posi-
lively covered the ground SO long as to
prevent the cultivation OF olives, grapes
and other fruits, which are raised there
at the present time in abundance. Ice
or snow, to any considerable amount,
would now be phenomenon In Italy.

Ezra Comfort, aged 80, married Eliza Carr
aged 16, at Chester, Pa, last week, and now

A Family Of Giants.

Benjamin and Catharine Troutrnan, of
Londonderry township, Bedford coun-
ty, had sons and daughters eighteen.
The father and eight of the children
have gone to that bourne whence no
traveller returns. The mother. who is
about rs years of age, and weighs up
wards of 200 pounds avoirdupois, still
lives with her son George in London
derry township. The ten children now
living tip the beam of " Fairbanks" to
the tune of 2,215 pounds. The respect
i've force of gravity of each, according to
their last census, is as follows:
George, who lives in Londonderry
township, 245 pounds; Joseph, who
holds forth at Fair Hope, Somerset
county, 900 pounds; John, who resides
in the State of Indiana, 265 pounds in
his shirt sleeves; Daniel, who lives in
Kansas, 225 pounds; Adam, who is a
resident of the "Smoky City" Pitts
burgh, 24O pounds; Sarah and Polly,
who reside in this county, $40 and 200
pounds respectively; Nancy. who lives
in Maryland, 200 pounds; Betsey. who
has followed the advice of the lamented
Greeley and ''gone West" 200 pounds.
Liz ld1IleI WtlSHou lou pOIlnOS, ana The
deceased children ranged in weight from
$50 to 225 pounds each. If anybody can

got astride of it and was in the act of
cutting its throat when it sprang up and
attacked him; he grabbed it by the
horns and held on to them. Then en-
sued desperate struggle. The father.
who was not at this time near enough to
assist his son, could not shoot the buck
for fear of shooting his son too. He
hurried to the scene, leveled his gun
across his sons breast and fred, killing
the buck instantly. He then found that
the buck had gored Peter through the
thigh, causing a very severe and ugly
wound, which has caused him to keef
his bed ever since.-Bedtord (Pa.) In.

Burning Of the New York Newspaper
Union Office.

The disastrous fire that occurred in
New York city on Christmas eve in
volved, among other heavy losses, the
destruction of the New York branch of
the American Newspaper Union
Cramer, Aikens & Cramer, of Milwau-
kee, proprietors- whose pecuniary loss
is set down at $4,000. Fortunately,
however, they were heavily insured in
sound and reliable companies, SO that
their actual loss will probably not reach
more than third of that figure.
Notwithstanding the heavy blow to
their business at a season of the year
when such, disasters fall with unusual
severity, the patrons of the New York
branch are assured that no serious in
terruption of their business will ensue.
The establishment was fully prepared
for any emergency of this nature. They
have always kept a duplicate stock in
store, including presses, type, and other
material, SO that the delay will be only
temporary. tits stated that they will
be prepared, in less than, week from
the disaster, to supply their patrons with
ready-printed sheets as usual.

The Flatheads.

An especial source of pride in the Mu-
scum is the large and valuable cranio-
logical cabinet. 1t contains nearly l 200
specimens, including large number of
crania of existing tribes of Indians, a
series of skulls from tumuli, and many
rare specimens OF artificial reformation
cabinet of the kind in the country.
Among the specimens of artificial de-
formation of the skull are those of Flat
head Indians. These skulls are great
blow to phrenology. They are perfectly
fiat on top, forming almost right angle
with the forehead This singular de
formity is esteemed beauty among the
Indians of this tribe, and the children of
the chiefs must, because of their rank,
have the fattest heads of ALL Boards
are tightly bound to infants heads from
the time they are born until their heads
cease to grow, and thus the desired effect
is produced. 1t would naturally be sup
posed that the brain would be injured
and probably reduced in size, but such
is not the case, hence the contradiction
to chronological dogmas. By measure
ment the brain capacity is found to be
very great-greater than that of certain
other tribes of Indians, neighbors to the
Flatheads, who use no such devices to
alter the skulls given them by nature
Psychologists used to maintain that by
using artificial means for developing GER
tain bumps on the skull and depressing
others certain desirable characteristics
would be developed and undesirable
ones suppressed; but it appears that the
inner surface of the Uranium by no means
corresponds in elevations and depressions
to the outer surface. The method used
for measuring the brain capacity of a
skull is singular to those outside the
medical profession. Small shot are
poured in through hole in the top of
the skull, and these run into all the
little hooks and corners until the cavities
are all filed. Then the shot are poured
out and measured.-Cor. NeW York

WINTER.

The squirrel has made up his winter bed,
And in it is snugiy lying;
The chestnuts have ceased to drop overhead.8
The ducks have sailed by with wings outspread,
Inc clouds are painted in purple and red,
And the Autumn in glory is dying II
Hurrah for the Winter down from the sky
Comes the snow, in a noiseless hurry;
o the snow does so much, so quietly!
And the bells they jingle the sleighs thew fiy:
The skaters shout when the moon is high |:
And the stars look surprised at the furry
Who says the Winter is grim and old2
He's royal, merry good fellow!
What games are like this, SO CAV and bold?
What stories like his were ever told?
His nuts-they are worth their weight in p,,Td
His apples choice and mellow
Have you the nittens put up the ball,
See that the muffiers ready!
Get down the sled from its nail on the wall:
Sharpen the skates for fear of fan;
The river is frozen, will soon be the call:
And then, who will think to be steady?
Then give him welcome bid him draw near:
Enwreathed with pine and with holly,
He brings you presents, he brings you good cheer
Ills in fun that he slyly nips your ear!
He freezes your nose to make it look queer;
For Winter is good and is jolly.

Automatic Telegraphy.

Under a new system of telegraphing,
known as the automatic, now In opera
ton between Washington and New York,
it is claimed that the circuit can be
opened and closed thousand-fold faster
by machinery than by hand. The prac-
tical daily operation between New York
and Washington shows that a thousand
words a minute can be sent with the
same facility as three or five hundred
The rapid transmission shows that,
where twenty wires were required to
meet the demands of the Morse system,
one will answer by the automatic. 1t is
asserted that this economy will extend
itself in various ways, to the benefit OF
the public.

Cause of Power in the Right Hand.

In paper read before the Chirurgical
Society of Lnndon, DIR. Ogle states it as
his belief that the superiority of the
right hand in works requiring strength
and skill is not due merely to custom and
usage. His reasons for this opinion are
that the superior power of the right side
is not confined to the arm, but extends
to the leg, and that it commences in the
arm before use or education begins, and
continues in spite of all efforts to resist
or divert it. This superiority has re-
semblance to some malformations, mas
much as it is hereditary and is met with
more frequently in the male sex, not only
in men, but in apes and parrots. The
author further asserts that the left side
of right handed man is greater than
the right, and uice 0ersd, and he sug-
gests that this greater development of
the left side is due to the greater guam
tity of blood which it receives
