A CURIOUS fact WAS mentioned at a
meeting of the Newcastle-on-Tyne
Chemical Society. Some five years ago,
one of the great blast furnaces at Jarrow,
when tapped in the usual way, poured
forth nothing but Stag. This was a
surprise and disappointment, for iron
had been put in, and iron ought to have
flowed out. Repeated trials were made
but always with the same barren result,
until at last the furnace was left to cool,
after which 1t again became productive.
Last year the furnace was pulled down,
and then the mystery was explained.
The original bottom of the furnace had
melted in the intense heat /; the molten
iron ran down and melted the clay in
which the foundations were dug, and
in the cavity thus formed a solid mass
of iron weighing one hundred and
twenty tons was discovered. This was
the iron that should have flowed out at
the tap-hole. 1t had to be extracted in
a more troublesome way, and was blown
to pieces by dynamite.
Dynamite is a mixture of that dan
gerous explosive nitro glycerine and
clay. The clay is peculiar kind, called
Kieselguhr by the Germans, and is
found In prodigious deposits near Lune-
burg. 1t is described as nearly pure
silica, consisting of shells of infusoria
of past ages. The explosive force is
amazing. Nine ounces fired on the top
of block of iron two feet six inches
long and one foot six inches thick, split
it completely in two. Another advan-
tage of dynamite is, that it is not
affected by damp, and can therefore be
used for explosions under water.

IF CHILD WANTS A LIGHT To Go To
SLEEP BY, give it one. The sort of
Spartan firmness which walks off and
takes the candle, and shuts all the doors
between the household cheer and warmth
and the pleasant stir of the evening
mirth, and leaves little son or daughter
to hide its head under the bed clothes,
and get to sleep as best it can, is not at
all admirable. Not that the dear mother
means to be cruel when she tries this or
that hardening process, treating human
nature as if it were clay to be nodded
into any shape she may please. Very
likely she has no idea whatever of the
injury and suffering she causes, or per-
haps her heart aches; but she per-
serveres, thinking she is doing right.
Children are often obliged to endure a
great deal of unnecessary hardship BY
being subjected to absurd methods of
discipline which every good mother
ought to avoid.-HeraId Of Heath.

UyQUEsTIoSIyG OBEDIENCE We mmst
demand from the child for her own
safety. 1t may often be question of
life and death whether the little girl
runs when she is called, or throws away
something she has in her hands instead
of putting it into her mouth. But has
not this habit of obedience a higher
Office than this? 1t is the first yielding
of the unframed will to rightful author
ity, and as such has an immense signi-
ficance. The mother who cannot train
her daughters and sons to obedience
were better childness, for she is but
giving to her country elements of weak
ness not elements of strength. She is
furnishing future inmates for jails,
penitentiaries, and prisons, and putting
arms into the hands of the enemies OF
law and order.

WHAT CAUSES THE DIFFERENCE BE-
TWEEN HARDENED AND UNHARDESED
STEEL.-It is known that steel, when
quickly cooled after heating, assumes
more or less hardness and brittleness,
the color, texture and density of the
material being altered. As to the causes
of difference between hardened and un-
hardened steel, there are merely con-
lectures on the subject. At recent
meeting of the Berlin Academy of Sci
ences, one of the secretaries, DR.. Du
Bois Raymond, announced that prize
of ei0 would be awarded in July, 1876,
to any one who would best solve the
problem, by experiment, whether the
causes referred to were physical or
chemical, or both. Accurate compara-
tive analyses are required, especially of
the relative quantities of carbon in the
free and combined state, and also ob-
servatIons of the physical qualities of
the materials. The memoir may be
written in German, French, Latin or
English, and is to be sent to the Academy
with sealed note and motto-before
the 1st of March, 1S7G.

IT WAS AN ANCIENT Custom of the
Spartans, in order to incalculate among
their youth an adherence of intemper-
ance and its kindred vices, to make
their slaves drunk with wine in the pub
lie market-places, so that the rising
generation, upon whom would some
day devolve the honor and safety OF the
Lacedemomian Republic, might see be-
fore them all the CHASTITY details of the
drunkard's disgrace, his loss of reason,
and of physical strength 'Twere well,
perhaps, to-day, could some of our
young men contemplate similar in-
structive lesson drawn from the life,
showing them, by a sharply drawn con-
trast, the advantages and true lowell
ness of abstinence and virtue.
For such as appreciate these, VINEGAR

it being purely vegetable draught, de
void of alcohol or mineral poisons, and

Liver and Blood Diseases.
By R. Y. PIERCE, NJ D.

A healthy liver secretes each day
about two and half pounds of bile,
which contains great amount of waste
material taken from the blood. When
the liver becomes torpid or congested,
it fails to eliminate this vast amount of
noxious substance, which, therefore,
remains to poison the blood, and be
conveyed to every part of the system.
What must be the condition of the
blood when it is receiving and retaining
each day two and half pounds of poi
son? Nature tries to work off this poi
son through other channels and organs
the kidneys, lungs, skin, ETC., but
these organs become over-taxed in per-
forming this labor in addition to their
natural functions, and cannot long with
stand the pressure, but become vari-
ously diseased.

IL the journalism of the future exact
maps and diagrams of localities de
scribed may accompany news dispatches
by telegraph. A member of the Partisan
Academy of Science has devised q
method to this effect, in which numer-
ally graduated semi circular plate of
glass is laid by the telegrapher over the
map to be transmitted, and pencil of
mica, attached to a pivoted strip OF
metal, also divided into numbers. al
lowed to move over the plate. Looking
through fixed eye-piece, the operator
traces out his map on the glass with the
adjustable mica pencil, and noticing the
numbers successfully touched on the
plate and on the moving metal arm,
telegraphs them to his correspondent,
who, by means of an exactly similar
apparatus, is thereby enabled to trace
out an exactly similar map.

COLD CUsTARD.-Take one fourth of
a calf's rennet, wash it well, cut in
pieces and put it into decanter with a
pint of grape wine. In day or two it
will be tit to use. To one pint of milk
add teaspoonful of the wine. Sweeten
the milk and flavor it with vanilla, rose
water or lemon. Warm 1t a little and
add the wine, stirring it slightly. Pour
it Immediately into cups or glasses, and
in a few minutes it will become a

But it may be kept for year or more
by sealing it up air-tight, after strain

crystallizing will be deferred somewhat
by pasting paper around the jars to ex-
clude the light. 1t should be kept in a
