Electric discharges In Air.

By allowing series of sparks fron,
an electromagnetic induction apparatus
to be discharged between platinum cleo
trodcs in perfectly dry air, Bo:tger no.
ticed the formation OF yellow vapors
and after the lapse OF few minutes, NJ
trous acid was recognized by smell. II
the sparks are passed through very
moist atmospheric air, or if the sides OF
| the glass vessel in which the experiment
| is conducted are moistened with distilled
water. and some is allowed TO collect at
the bottom, no yellow vapors are found;
but the air, in few minutes, acquires
the characteristic odor Of ozone, while
in the water the presence of hyponi,ric
acid can be detected. lodidc OF poias-
stun and starch paper, the test in com
mon use for the detection OF ozone IN
the air is thus shown 10 he an untrust-
worthy reagent, rs it must in many cas-
es turn blue by nitrous acid. 1t behov-
es metcorologsts, now that their atten-
ton has again been directed 10 these
facts by Professor Bottger, TO ascertain
the exact condition of moisture under
which the acid is produced, and to cstab-
iish Il process LOT inc cs'iHiatioi' VI o|oa'
which shall be of absolute certainty.
DIR. Dotch of New York, who has for
years occupied himself with the artiii-
cial generation Of ozone, states that
strips of paper saturated with the tinct-
ure of guaiacum afford Il more sensi-
tive and certain reagent or test for the
presence OF ozone than either the iojide
of potassium and starch or paper con-
tanning pro,ex;de of tha!!ium and that
such an oZonomcter can be relied on 10

i,ameisbers states that some OF the sab
stance sold as ozonized water owe their
action 10 the presence Of chlorine. Be
hrens and jacobsen, on the ether hand,
find that some ozonized water is only Il

| Mr.. Cor: in told an annccdote with
finer effect than any Of his cotempora-
ries. lie was witty, full OF humor and
never failed to reiort. His onslaught
upon General Crazy, CT Nichigan, who
had made bitter attack upon General
Harrison in the House Of Represents
tives soon after his nomination At liar
risburg, will never be forgotten by those
who heard it, or who read the admirable
report Of the speech made by reporter
S;ansbcrry, and published in the Nation
a! Lntelligencer. Crazy was man OF
considerable ability, and well esteemed
in the House but he was so utterly de-
molshed by Corwin's assault that he
soon after retired to private lie, whence
he never emerged. And when Mr.. Ad-
ans alluded TO him as the late Mr.. Cra-
ry the quiet sarcasm convulsed the
! House.
| Corwin's humor and sarcasm were O..
too delicate and subtitle 4 nature TO per-
nit of their transfer to paper with much
effect. His wit was spontaneous and
unprecedented, but wonderfully telling.
When the abolition excitement was at
its hight, he was invited to address a
public meeting at Covington, opposite
Cincinnati. 1t was apprehended tnat
the ultra slavery men might interrupt
him, SO he determined to prepitiate
them by an annecdote. "Fellow citi-
zens," said he. cit is quite possible that

ne phslsspay Of The sand Bla,t.

At first sight, the cutting Of a diamond
or other hard substance, by another So
much softer as sand is, seems fatty con
t,xdictory 10 common experience. stu,
10 any onc who has ever fired rihc
hall against a rock, the fac: that flying
soft body will braise or erush harder
one is neither surprising nor new Inc
possible perfnra,ion Of Il pine board by
a tallow candle, fired from rnuskct, Is
an illustration of the came fact, familiar
To ovcry school-day. In the sand blas',
however, the effect seen is SO manifestiy
disproportionase to the momentum OF
the individual particles that the expiana'
lion usually given in the grasser cases
fails 10 hold good. Grains of sand, OF
very unequal size, appear to DO precise
w the same work when moving at the
same rate, thus directly contradlcting
what has hitherto been an unquestloned
law Of impact.
Whence arises the discrepancy be-
tween what is and what might be ex-
pected? Tc answer this question, an
English investigator has reconsidered
the laws Of impact, and finds that one
Of great Significance and Importance
has heretofore been entirely overlooked.
1t is this: At the moment OF first con-
tact, the pressure between implnginS
bodies is Independent OF their size.
This laws has been undecided here
tofore, simply because the laws OF I'M
pact have been considered mainly with
reference to the centers OF gravity OF
the bodies, while little or no attention
has been paid to the points OF impact
and what goes on there between the
instant of first contact and the time
when the center Of gravity is changed.
Even with the compacted bodies, !;
takes time for the pressure to extend 20
the inner particles.
Hence, on the instan: Of impact, 1t is
only those particles in contact winch
are effected, and the rest OF the bod;
might BIZ removed without altering the
effect. In other words. the effect OF I'M
pact i. Independent OF the quantity OF
matter behind the particles which actual
~ i,npingc.
That the eff. of the sand blast is
az this law indicates-a baitering not
grinding, action Is clearly shown by the
mic, oscope. A polished glass surface,
las been exposed for an instant to the
blast, is spotted with points from which
scales of fractured glass have been
broken away in irregular direction.
Each spot appeared as if apel!et Of glass
lad been driven in by the collision, and
the wedgc-like action thus set up had
driven away the surrounding glase.
The po.ariscope confirms this inference.
When thus tested, each spot shows a
colorcd halo, proving that the surface OF
the glass is under strain.-Sctnefhc

The lSGse Of The Eye.

Somebody with correct idea Of the
way we abuse our eyes gives the follow
ing instances to Illustrate the danger
The sculpture Crawford was aacus-
toned all his life to read lying down.
TO this, very largely, physicians attribu-
led the loss Of his eye. Very soon a
cancer formed in the other, which caus-
cd his death.
The great historian Prescott lost his
oversight when student by bit OF
bread thrown in sport by fellow at the
table. Never be careless in such little
matters. A pair OF scissors or fork
thrown in sport or anger, has often caus-
ed the loss Of an eye, which the wealth
Of the world cannot replace.
a friend, who was very ambitious TO
Enish set of linen tor her brothers,
spent almost winter in fine stitching,
sitting up often late at night. over the
work, in which she took great delight.
The result was the nerre of the eye was
SO injured that sic was obliged TO who'll
" give up sewing, knitting, and read
ing under penalty of becoming perfect
ly blind.
A yeung lady who lived but ten miles
ly train from school, used TO spend the
lac time in studying a certain lesson
while she was riding down in the morn
ing. The result was severe affection OF
the eyes, which disabled her from study
long time. 1t is always hur,fnl TO the
eyes TO read in the train, though we may
no, see the bad offsets SO plainly when ii
happens only occasionally. A steady
practice like this young lady's may pro-
,ince even worse results when the system
is in bad state.
Never read by twilight, nor before
eating in the morning. The il:tle you
gain in time will be doubly los; by ia!-
ing of the eyesigLt long before lies
shutdown.
/ know a yours clergyman who is a
remarkably well read man, but whose
eyes arc perfect dcicrmity. lie said
he ruined them by reading at night, long
and intently, when he was getting his
education. lie seems to have no control
of the lids, which ;wich and move in a
mos, grotesgue manner. Don't fancy
you can do what you please with your
eyes, and yet have them serve you
faithfully. Take as good care of them
as you would Of gold, for gold can never
replace lost eycsight.

Suppose it is required 10 multiply IS

To use this method, considerable
