Evidence

Of every charge. This was the first inti-
nation which TiltOn had received that any
such committee was then in existence.
Furthermore, Mrs. TiltOn said she had
done this by the advice of lawyer whom
Beecher had sent to her in advance of her
appearing before the committee, the ques-
tions and answers of which were to consti-
tute her testimony in Beecher's behalf
The day after giving this untrue testi-
mOny before the committee she spent many
hours. of extreme suffering, from panss of
conscience at having testified falsely. She
expressed to her husband the hope that
God would forgive her perjury, but thai
her motive was to save Beecher and her
husband, and also to remove all Teproach
from the cause Of religion. She
also expressed similar eOntritiOn 10
one of her intimate friends.
Finally that in addition to the foregoing
facts aud evidences other combinations
could be adduced if needed to prove the

Through the influence Of Beeohers

propagated that the scandal was due TO Til

cious inventions TO revenge himself for sup
posed and imaginary wrongs done him by
Beecher. Many words were spoken from
time to time by Mrs. TiltOn to praise

Birds.

All the great agricuturists of Vienna
have come to the conclusion not only that
birds are Il necessity to agricultural pros
perity, but that international laws must be
established, 50 that the wanton destruction
OF migratory useful birds be prohibited
Take for instance the lark, very useful
bird, which returns among the earliest to
Germany in the spriugtime, and is very
industrious nsect-ri ,nurcr. But it is q
very mouthy bird, and the gourmands of
Germany pay a good price for the dozen.
So on the plains about Lcipsic they are
slaughtered every year b., the half million !;
and if they escape destruction there they
meet it again in more fatal form when
they reach Italy and the entire Mcditcr-
ranean coast, for the Italians infct an in
credible slaughter upon the migratory birds.
And between the two the German agrcul-
turist's crops suifir from the raids of the
caterpillars, larvae, grub, and what not, but
he complains in vain, since there are no in
ternational laws.

Witchciaft.

The following anccdotc of the eminent
Lord Chief Justice Holt is worth transcrib-
ing His youth gave no prcmonitions of his
maturcr excellence, for hc was unlnana &C
ably wild, both at abingdon school, and
Orcl college, Oxford and this incident
comprises, in brief space, what he was
then, and the position he ultimately arrived
at. An old, dccrcpit woman being arraign-
cd before him for witchcraft, he inquired
how it was proved; and being answered
that it was by a spell, he asked to see it,
and piece Of parchment was handed to him.
Having 1ntcrrogatcd the prisoner as to how
she obtained it, she told him that young
gentleman gave it to her as Il cure for hcr
daughters aguc, which it had cured and
many Others. Il am glad of it, said Holt;
and then turning to the jury, he added ::
Gentlemen, when | was young, thought
less, and had spent my money, and some
companions equally unthinking went to
this woman's house-thcn public one !;
having no money to pay our reckoning, |
hit upon Stratagcm to get off scOt-frcc.
Seeing her daughter i'll, pretended had a
spell to cure her | wrote the classic line
you see; 50 that, if amy one is punishable,
it is |, and not the prisoner" She was
acquitted, and the Chief Justice amply re-
compcnscd her for the deceit he had used
toward her in former years.

TEr GAs WELLS OF New YoRE-NEw
Plan OF IlEArING TIE CANALS IN WINTER
The novel proposition of Mr.. r. A. Chcsc-
borough to keep the Erie canal open in win
ter by means Of steam pipes laid in the
canal, at Il cost OF 81 800 GOO per annum,
is now seconded by Professor Charles Plagge.
The latter suggests the possibility of greatly
reducing the cost for fuel by making use OF
the immense national supplies Of gas which
this State contains.
According to Professor Henry Wurtz-
there are at least three belts of gas wells
runnin. across the State of New York, from
east to west. Professor Wurtz assumes the
average tension Of compression of the gas
contained in the three gas-chargcd horizons
(thc Saliua, Marcellus, and Genesec) ut 20
atmosplIercs. Estimating the poroSity of the
rock at only 5 per cent. of its volume, the
gas contained in the rock will assume at the
surface the vol;lmc OF the rock itself. IL,
therefore, the three New York belts are 200
miles long. and equal in mass to ten miles
wide, and of 100 feet thickness IA moderate
allowancc), they will supply more than
three thousand wells, each dischnrging
500, 900 cubic feet Of gas per 81 hours. for
over 100 years. A., practically, 90, 900 cubic
feet of marsh gas (thc principal constituent
of the g,S of natural gas wcIls) may be as
sumcd to be equal in heating capacity to one
tun of anthracite, the amount Of heat which
could be drawn throughout the middle tier
Of counties in Western New York Is equal
to $4,000 tuns of anthracite per day, or to
% 1915 ,0C0 tuns per year. Although the
line of outcrop of the Murccllus formation,
from which the West Bloomfield gas comes,
lies south Of the line Of the Erie canal,
Professor Wurtz has also shown, in the same
memoir, that the gas found in boring at
Buffalo comes from strata lying far deeper
and cropping out many miles further north
than the Marcclius; aud that on the general
line Of the canal. the Hamilton and Salims
will be found for great distances, so situated
as to be reached by borings not far there
from, and at depths which will ensure their
having retained their original gaseous con-
tents unimpaircd by outcrop leakage. 1t
may therefore be accepted, with implicit
confidence, that there are throughout that
part of the State large districts within
which, by judiriou> explorations, IAN immense
number of natural gas wells may be devel-
oped, furnishing fuel which raises itself
out Of the mine, and which may be made to
transport itself to any point required
This almost inexhaustahc source Of fuel is
the more valuable for the warming of the
water in the canals, as the apparatus re-
qnirc! can be constructed at comparatively
small expense, and in such a way MS not to-
need any extra hands for its attendance; so
that the expense of keeping navigation open
all winter will be confined to little more than
the interest on first cost of plant, which will
probably not be greater than that as csti-
mated above for artesan wells.

TRANSMISSION of Blood.

At the last sitting of the Paris academy
of Science, an Interesting paper was read on
the operation of infusion Of blood. At the
time the operation was decided upon, the
patient (a woman) appeared to he on the
brink Of the grave; the pulse was impercep-
tiblc. her weakness such that she was unable
to move. her eyesight all but extinguiShed {;
she was unable to speak, and nothing would
stay ON her stomach. DR.. Behicr performed
the operation in the presence Ola number
orstudcnts. lie said it was highly important
the blood to be injected should be pure and
in its natural state, without being deprived
Of its iibrine or allowed to cool. Such pre-
liminaricS had been considered necessary in
order to prevent coaguatinn in the vein /;
but there was no need of them il the opera
ton was quickly effected. The blood should
not be dead, but living. One obstacle
that had hitherto caused traneiusion to be
looked upon with distavor was the difficulty
of introducing the nozzle of the syringe into
the vein The late DR.. Nclaton had pro-
posed to obyiate this by an incision OF the
skin an inch long in order to bring the vein
into view. DR.. Bchicr prefers opening the
vessel with lance. aS in blood letting; he
recommends the injection to be performed
slowly. to prevent the sudden repction Of
the right ycntriclc Of the heart, which would
cause asphyxia and death. The quantity Of
blood administered in this case WAS not more
than eight %r,mmeS. The possibility of
success is now proved beyond Il doubt after

COMPARATIVE EcoNoMY AND INTENSITY OF
ELECTRIC LIGHT AND GAs.--Sume curious
and useful information about the lights dis
played from the Clock Tower of the Houses
of Parliament is given in report Just made,
to the House Of Commons. 1t appears that
the two scmi-lantcrnS, which spectator at
Westminster secs $50 feet above him in the
Clock Tower, are in the hands of two rivals,
one Of whom employs gas and the other
electricity, as the source of Illuminating
power. The Wigham light las three burn
erS, each composed Of l06 jets, placed ono
above another on the same axis. The electric
light is produccd by an electromagnetic
machine, worked by steam power, the cur
rents being conducted from the machine to
the lantern along 200 feet of copper wires.
The report is decidedly favorable to the
electromagnetic process. Thus Mr. Douglas
states that the electric light has superior
intensity of G5 per cent. when one lOS.et
burner is used, and of 81 per cent, when
three are employed, So, again, as to cost

and of 1873 per cent. when three burners arc
used.
