ture in the atmosphere rain in general supplied
only a very small quantity of the moisture re-
CURED by plants. Vegetable physiology af-
forded no explanation of the effects on climate,
attributed by some observers to forests.
Later testimony sustaining the views of Hum
boldt is contained in an interesting and impor-
tant paper On the effects Of cutting down for
estS on the climate and health of the Mauritius''
read d short time since by Mr.. Fl. Rogers be-
fore the Edinburgh Botanical Society. tits
there stated that between 1854 and 1862 vast
tracts of forest had disappeared, causing d.
minished amount of rainfall, an increased amount
of d%ryness, and a proportionate elevation of
temperature. The epidemic which broke out
il 1865 in the colony, previ Iusly SO remarkable
for its s~alubrity, be traced to this cause ad-
ding that the difference III seasons is now much
less marked, rains are scarce, droughts frequent
and excessive; vast tracts of land formerly pro-
ductiye are now barren and d~esolate, and dis
tricis before noted for s~slubfity are now noto-
IiousIy unhealthy. Although the amount of
rainfall is much reduced, the violence of the
rain is increased where it does fall, and heavy
foods are the result. 1t was Immediately after
one of these foundations that the fever broke
out in 1865, which proved SO terribly fatal in
the colony.

the physician would come in for a share of the
grave responsibility. The papyrus, though
probably written 35 centuries ago, is i in a state
of perfect preservation. Not a single charac-
ter of its 10 pages are missing, Nine of these
pages are DE- voted to diseases of the eye, in
the treatment of which the Egyptians seem to
have been far more skilful than any other
nation of their time. Besides this, it describes
every part of the human body, and the diseases
to which it is subject the proper mode of
their treatment, with especial directions as to
the quantities and quality of the medicines to
be administered for their relief. Another divi-
sion treats of the history of medicine; and as
this papyrus of Ebers's is the Oldest authority
yet discovered, much Of Importance may be
expected from it.

T|ITUSVILLE GAS WE'LL.

Of the rail at Oild)m, TitusviIle is known
az one of the great centres Of petroleum. COM
merce. 1t has a population Of nearly $4,000,
and in feature Of rapid growth and stirring en-
~terpriSe 1t mig t pass for a miniature sketch of
Chicago. There are two or three novelties here
that are scarcely known outside of their locali-
ty. The great gas well, forcing out a continu-
Gus current of gas at a pressure of seventy
pounds TO the square inch, IS situated four and
a halfmiles rom town, and at times before being
nozzled, could be heard ut a great distance, tue
noise being similar in sound t0 the blowing off Of
steam from a boiler A company has taken hold
of this subterranean giant, bound him in robes Of
iron, and he in turn has paid his tailors with a
purse of untoId gold ducats. One hundred and ff-
ty stores and houses Get heat aud light from this
natural g~Asometer. Engines are run by its heat,
families cook by it, and yet most Of its resources
are kipt in check. lis producing capacity is
100000 feet per day, more than enough to
supply the whole city, Ia fact half dozen such
cities. Tae gas is conveyed from the we'll to
the city by two pipes, one Of two-and-A-half
and the other Of hree-and-a-half inches.
Georgo X. Anderson, has turned this gas dis
covery into novel and ornamental us9 upon his
grOund:. Ills house stands on one side of a
three and a half acre lot. The grounds are
artlsfically laid out with walk, flower beds,
aod ample squares Of well eropt lawns. In
the midst Of these are two fountains, one of
rustic form 10 the centre Of a capacious fish
pond. The other fountain, with a large circu-
lar basin, is oramented with a graceful figure on
top reaching as high as twenty-five feet, and
forming a square around these fountains and
pond are seven oazlpg gas torches coming out
of upright pipes twelve feet in height, with
a cross tube on top of two feet.-This tube is
we'll perforlted and forms the escape Jets for
the gas. The flame from each Of these seven
plpesls about as large as the body of a fourteen
yeIr old miss. The fame is wavy and wing

lit up nightly with these acknowledgement
lights, Illuminating the place to a dazzling
degree. An archway leading to the grape
arbor is formed Of This gas, making a massive
box of light, With all this gov of light, in
tensihed by heavens darkness, and taking
IN at one view the lawn, the flower beds, the
vases OF tinted plants, the white fountain and
the dark one, like a mystery arising out of
the centre of the pond sending out its tiuy jets of
water unseen until reflection reveals them on the
surface Of the pond, the lights there turning
these showers into quiveriDg, golden ripples,
making up a scene more like enchantment than
reality. All this from the great gas Well. at a

MEDICINE IN THE TINE OF
PHARAOH.

The we'll known professor, DR.. Ebers, of the
University of Leipsic, during his recent stay at
Thebes, obtained a valuable papyrus roll of the
time of the Pharaohs, containing the complete
medical system of the priests, fer the priests
were also doctors in those days, and mingled
medicine, magic, and religious observances
IN a remarkable manner. If the patient hap
pened to get we'll, they took all the credit but
if not, the gods got all the blame-the mans
time to die had come. Thus mems charao-
teristics repeat themselves in all stages of the
worlds growth. In our days pious people
are apt to say, " It pleased Providence to re-
move.' Co., when, if the truth were known,

The PUBLIC FEYE."-It is remarkable what
an important part the various organs Of the
human body play in political rhetoric. The
Ginger of scorn' is Iecklessly pointed; the
'loyal heart" beats worse than a Zouave drum
corps and the 'avengi6g hand'' is always
ready to shake up things generally But per-
haps the largest business in caucus and editori-
al thunder and lightning is done with the "eye.'
Already, in this terrible canine period, when
humanity struggles against heat, and drizzle,
and a wretched, nasty %mugginess, to exist, the
mercilesS campaigners have commenced ope-
ratious, and announce that the "thoughtful eye"
of the country sis fixed on us" Sometimes
this uncomfortable public orb is ''soornful,"
sometimes "indignant," sometimes ''rejoiciug,'
but its favorite position seems to be fixed y
Out in Ohio they are having hullaballo, and
they claim this obtrusiye "eye" is fixed on
them We can't explain this diversity Of glare,
except GU the theory that this awful "eye" is a
revolver, and yet that destroys the notion of its
being "fxed." 1t is equally astonishing how
soon after the squabble has ended this Thought
full eye'' shuts up and behaves itself, and don't
come staring round till another political fracas,
which acts as The great "eye'-opener, and we
have the old fuss and fury over again.
FABLE FOR THE JUvENILE.-In the depth
Of a forest there lived two foxes who never had
a cross word with each other. One of them
said, in the %politest language, Lets have a
quarrel"
every well but how shall we set about it p"
said the other.
"O5, it cannot be difficult" said fox No. J.,
"two-Iegged people fall out-why not we;"
So they tried all sorts Of ways, but it could
not be done, because each would give way. At
last No. l fetched two stones.
"There," said he, "you say they're yours and
III say they're mine. Now III begin. Those
stones are mine"
Very we'll" answered the other, "you are
welcome to tbem.'
"But We shall never quarrel at this rate"
cried the other, jumping up and licking his face.
''You old simp'eton, don't you know that it
takes two to make a quarrel any day"
So they gave it up as a bad job, and never
tried to play at this silly game ogain.-C1a-
