SO They Die.

The accident last September, by
which an Englishman and an American
lost their lives while being lowered by
ropes into the crater of Vesuvius, had
a counterpart January 25th, when a
Belgian named Lemiux, and Swiss
named Schmidt, met o similar horrible
fate. These foolhardy tourists insist
ed on being lowered, and in spite of re-
monstrances of the guides, took hold
of the loops and swung over the gloomy
void. The guides last warning to them
was to not venture inward. Whether
they were smothered with fumes of
sulphur, or missing step, were hurled
into the abyss, nobody will ever know.
Contrary to the advice of the guides,
they let go the looped ropes, and ven
tured into the crater's recesses. The
tourists above cried out, but no re-
spouse came. The guides were lowered
repeatedly, and several of the excur-
sionists went as far as the ropes would
allow, in search of their comrades, but
in vain. This is the third disaster of
this nature within the past ten years.

What Icicles Are.

Icicles are a pretty paradox, formed
by the process of freezing in, sunshine.
hot enough TO melt snow, blister the
human skin, and even, when concen-
trated, to burn up the human body
itself. Icicles result from the fact that
air is all but completely transparent to
the heat rays emitted by the sun-that
is, such rays pass through the air with
out warming it. Only the scanty frac-
tion of rays to which air is not trans
parent expend their force in raising its
temperature. The warm puffs of the
summer breeze are not heated directly
by the sun itself, but by the earth and
the objects on it which the sun has pre-
viously warmed. The truth of this is
sensibly felt on entering a town after
sunset, from the open country, in sun
shiny weather. The same difference of
temperature is never felt at the close of
cloudy day. This cause is one of the
reasons why the air on a mountain top
scolder than the air at its foot. The
air on high mountains may be intensely
cold, while burning sun is overhead.
The solar rays which, striking on the
human skin, are almost intolerable, are
incompetent to heat the air sensibly,
and we have only to withdraw into per-
feet shade to feel the chill of the atmos-
phere.

MorkIngmen Determined to strIke.

The workingmen of the city of New
York, the Tribune tells us, are very re-
ticent, but nearly all trades are quietly
and effectively perfecting their organi-
cations for combined strike this spring.
Secret societies are forming, but the
most diligent search among the leaders
failed to yield any definite information
of their plans, beyond the general dec
laration that a strike has been deter
mined upon in April or May. Thus far
the Crispin organization has been the
most prominent in instituting measures
for an increase of pay, and therefore q
reporter sought out A. Limberg, the
chairman of their combined lodges. He
was found exceptionally communicative.
He said: There are five lodges in the
trade, one German, one English, and
one French, engaged in the manufacture
of goods for mems wear one for max
ing ladies boots, and one of women
who call themselves Daughters of st.
Crispin. The total membership aggre-
gates about 1000, and all are a unit
for higher wages. Now we work 16
hours day, and if we make no mistakes
with our work GALL of which we are COM
PEELED to assume), we are able to make
only about SO a week. We shall de-
mand an advance of 10per cent. at least,
and am favor of asking for an increase
of % per cent. We are in communica-
ton with all the other trades, and 1
know and do not care to conceal the
fact from you, that this city will witness
a strike of all the working classes. The
time fixed upon is about the end of
April or the beginning of May. The
cigar-makers employed by one firm have
already struck for an increase of pay,
and their demand has been acceded to.
This information was corroborated in
other quarters by workingmen, from
whom it was also learned that the car
penters, joiners, and others in the build
ing trade, will demand eight hours, and
that the committees from the various
branches of this interest have met in
joint session, organized, and definitely
decided to strike. The fact that the
International organization is heading
the movement, was ascertained from
good authority, as well as the f,ct that
they boast of membership of 10000,
and are determined to win in becoming
contest with their assumed enemy, cap.

COsrnical.

One of the most interesting cosmical
theories generally received at present
is that which regards the whole universe
as an Unreasonable sea of highly at
tenuated matter, imperceptible to the
senses, and in which the heavenly
bodies move with scarcely any impedi-
ment. This fluid, which is called ether,
fills the whole of space-flls the inter
walls between the heavenly bodies, as
well as the pores of interstices between
the atoms of substance. The smallest
particles of this subtle matter are in
constant vibratory motion-a motion
which, when communicated to the retina
of the eye, produces, if the impression
on the nerves be sufficiently strong, a
sensation which is called light. Every
substance, therefore, which sets the
ether in powerful vibration, is lumin-
Gus strong vibrations are perceived as
intense light, and weak vibrations as
faint light, both of them proceeding
from the luminous object at the extra
ordinary speed of 10000 miles in a
second, and they necessarily diminish
in strength in proportion as they spread
themselves over q greater space. Ac-
cording to this theory, therefore
which is based on the revelations made
by the spectrum analysis, that miracle
of modern science-light is not, in
reality, separate substance, but only
the vibration of a separate substance,
which, according to its various forms
of motion, generates light, heat or cleo
tricity,

City, Town, and County Indebtedness.

There was presented to the Constitu-
tional Commission of the State of New
York, in session at Albany, q report
which presents the startling fact that
the local Indebtedness due by the cities,
towns, and villages of the State amounts
at present to over $214, 100000, and
that there is every indication that the
municipal bonded debt at the close of
1873 will reach fully the aggregate
amount of 1925, 100000. In large
majority of the towns bonded it has
been found that the debt has been
created under either the general or the
special railroad bonding law. In nine
tenths of the towns the property, real
and personal, will be compelled to pay
the interest as well as the full amount
of the bonds issued The majority of
these obligations will fall due between
the years 1890 and 1900.
In recapitulation of the. county
bonded debts it is shown that thirty
nine counties have bonded debt and
twenty-one counties have none. The
bonded debt of those thirty-nine coun-
ties, including what is known as the
county debt of New York, amounts to
$46, 685, 264. 40. The aggregate assessed
valuation of these counties is 81, 931,
GA, 1872 46, making percentage of %
of county debt upon the valuation.
Outside of New York the counties have
a county debt of SIS, 030, 1899
A preponderance of towns not bonded
exists in the State. There are Ale
bonded towns and SIT that are not,
The aggregate Indebtedness of all these
towns amounts to $25, 140, 181. SO. The
sum of 1923, 1872, 236.1 6 represents the
annual valuation of the towns bonded.
Statements from the villages show that
155 villages report no bonded debt, and
&C return a bonded debt, the aggregate
of which is 1904, 10000. In the case
of the non-bonded villages, in almost
every instance it is found that theil
charters forbid the issuing of bonds.

Propriety Of Washing Butter.
Women Printers In France.

M. Theotiste Lefevre was, thirty-fve
years ago, chosen by the celebrated
house of Didot to establish a printing
Office at Mesuil, near Dreux. Under
the direction of his son, this has now
become one of the most important in
France. At Mesuil the work is almost
entirely performed by women. M.
Theotiste was able to teach the peasant
women to read and compose not only
French and Latin manuscripts, but also
Greek ones. 1t was women whom he
taught to stereotype7to feed and receive
the sheets. Women print from copper
plate the numerous plates which adorn
the encyclopaedia works of the great
publisher, Firmin Didot. Whatever
may be the opinion which one enter
tains respecting womens work, it is i'm
possible not to be astonished at the re-
suits obtained here. 1t is woman
who arranges thegpages of the enormous
work known under the name of the
Didot- Bottin, or Annuaire de Commerce
Directory, the completion of which
requires every year an incredible rapid
ity. Women perform at Mesuil the
more complicated and the most simple
tasks.

High Temperatures.

At a recent meeting Of the Lyceum of
Natural History in London, Professor
Mayer delivered an interesting discourse
upon the determination of high temper
atures in furnaces by sounds, describ-
ing some original researches of his own
and illustrating his remarks by several
effective experiments. In order to I'M
derstand Professors Mayors conclu-
Sions, it is nescessary to briefly review
the laws Of vibrations in elastic media
If a tuning-fork be set IN motion, its
vibrations are transmitted to the air,
and the latter vibrates in unison, ma
king the same number of movements
per second, whether five hundred or
fifty thousand. To comprehend the
reason, said the speaker, imagine q
sphere of delicate membrane containing
air Of the same elasticity as that which
surrounds it. Suppose this sphere to
contract and expand, say, one hundred
times per second for each expansion
there will be a corresponding conden-
sation of the shell of air next to the sur
face of the globe the air being elastic,
this condensation is transmitted to the
shell of air which envelopes the first
shell, thence to another beyond, and SC
on. Conversely, if the sphere contract
Il rarefaction of its immediate envelope
of air takes place, which rarefaction is
also transmitted outward, each succeed
ing shell diminishing in density in
turn. These motions of course are mere
undulations, similar to waves, of water
or OF light in its passage through ether

EXTRAORDINARY CURES. - We have
read many accounts of extraordinary
cures by DIR. WALKERS CALIFORNIA
VINEGAR BITTERs, which have seemed
incredible. We are inclined to believe
them, as many of those who vouch for
them are persons whose veracity we can
guarantee. The newspapers TEEN with
testimonials of this character, and there
is an air of PARTICULARLY and of truth
about them which cannot be resisted.
One manifest superiority the VINEGAR
BITTERs possesses over other Alternative
and Tonic preparations. 1t contains
none of the burning fluids with which
most advertised Bitters are impregnat-
ed. 1t cannot create fever. Instead of
clouding the brain, it clears it if cloud
ed. 1t is well known that Alcohol, even
of the purest description, weakens and
untones the stomach instead of bracing
it, and is, therefore, poison in cases of
Indigestion. Fancy, then, what must
be the effect of the cheap Fyre-1Oater
employed in making ordinary Bitters
and Tinctures, on the weakened and in
famed digestive organs. VINEGAR BIT
TIERS, on the other hand, soothes the
stomach while it increases the appetite
and relaxes the bowels. DIR. Walker
regular physician, and his remedie
have just as much authority as any
standard remedies of the faculty. We
believe they are destined to become q
household medicine.-COnl.

Opening and Shutting of a Door.

An ingenious correspondent of the
Scientific american has discovered a
new gauge for measuring mems charac-
tiers, by the manner in which they open
and shut doors. Out of 1000 persons
recorded, 1856 opened the door and shut
it carefully when they came in and when
they went out, without much noise
226 opened it in hurry, and made an
attempt to shut it, but did not, and
merely pulled it to when they went out ;
302 did not attempt to shut it, either
on coming in or going out ; Sc left it
open when they came in, but, when re-
minded of the fact, made ample apollo
gy, and shut it when they went out !; 102
opened it in great hurry and slammed
it violently, but left it open when they
went out; 20 came in with Chow do
you, do sir ?" or Good morning p or
"Good evening sir !" and all these went
through the operation of wiping their
feet on the mat, but did not shut the door
when they went in or when they came
out. We have employed men out of all
these classes, and during that time have
had an opportunity of Judging of their
merits. The first class-of 335-were
those who knew their trade and COM
menced and finished their work in a
methodical manner; were quiet and
had little to say in their working hours,
and were well approved by those for
whom they did their work. They were
punctual to time, and left nothing I'M
done which they were ordered to do.
They did not complain about trifes,
and in all respects were reliable men,
and were kind and obliging in their
general conduct.
