The Comet visible.

Our scientific reporter took look at
the fiery comet few nights since
through lorgnette. 1t can be seen
with the naked eye, but presents better
appearance through glass. Its tail is
hardly to be distinguished as yet. The
comet will grow brighter each night
until about August Sd, when it will pre-
sent beautiful appearance at from
eight to ten o'clock every evening. Rule
to find the comet: Follow the extension
of the line connecting the two stars in
the top of the bowl of the dipper (Great

tie horizon, and then take line per-
pendicular to this and to the right about
eight or nine degrees. (Remember that

into practice. This is what Edward
Everett called "a good education" and
Edward added: "And if you add the
ability to write pure, grammatical Eng
lish, regard it as an excellent educa-
ton. These are tools. You can do
much with them, but you are helpless
without them. They are the foundation;
and unless you begin with these, all
your hasby attainments, a little geology,
and all other ologies and osophies, are
este ntatious rubbish"

PreventIon or sunstroke.


As the heated term is rapidly ap-
preaching, says the Syracuse Journal,
we give. the following specific for sun
stroke, which may save from illness or
death many whose occupation compels
them to be in the field or on the street:
about year since l saw in news
paper an account of case of sunstroke,
written by the party himself After suf-
fering a long time from the attack, and
having to considerable degree recov-
cred, he experienced suffering even from
the rays of the moon. This led him to
the reflection that it was not altogether
the heat of the sun that produced pros
tration. After much research he discov.
cred that the injury came from the
chemical ray, and not from the
heat ray. He was guided to this
by observing the fact that a pho
tograph could not be taken through
a hollow glass. Accordingly he lined
his hat wirh two linings-one of Grange
yellow, to arrest the chemical ray, and
one Of green, to arrest the heat ray.
Thus prepared he went where the rays
of the sun were most intense, with per-
feet impunity. 1t is well known that the
negro is seldom sunstruck. The color
of his skin over the skull being of the
orange yellow may assist in accounting
for the fact. practiced upon this sug-
gestion all last summer, lined my hat
with green and orange yellow paper, and
had confidence enough in the truth of
the theory to neglect my umbrella, which
I had never done before. mentioned
It to many, who tried it also, and in many
cases that came nnder my obversation,
they uniformly asserted that the oppres-
sive heat Of the sun upon the head was
much relieved.
