DANcING-DANGERs OF THE AMUSEMENT
The Pail Mall Gazette says: AT an in
quest held in London on the body ola young
lady who died suddenly few hours after
attending an evening party, of apopleXy,
the coroner remarked that it was pity to
say anything against $50 healthful and plea
surable an exercise as dancing,' but it most
certainly produced apoplexy in certain cases.
The cases in which death is directly pro-
duced by dancing are happily rare, but the
seeds of death are often soWn in ballroom
not so much from dancing as from the cir
cumstances under which it is clrried on.
For instance, what can be more likely TO
produce apopeXy or some serious illness than
the practice of eating ices when thoroughly
heated by violent exercise? Again, the atmo.
sphere Of many ballroom, crammed as it
often is With three times as many people
as it can comfortably contain, is enough Of
itself to poison any one not acclimatiZed 10
suffiocation by previous training. Then
there are the sudden changes of temperature
to which young ladies. nsuficiently clad, are
exposed on leaving the heated rooms as they
return home, over.tired, and in precisely the
same condition under which such changes of
temperature are likely to affect them if they
have any tendency to lung disease. The
late hours also which are necessarily kept in
the season cannot be otherwise than very
prejudcia to the health Of both young and
old, and probably cause many illnesses that
are unjustly credited to other sources. There
is, in truth, great need of reform in most of
the social habits of the present day, and the
wonder is not that one y03Dg lady is killed
by dancing, but that any, save the strongest,
survive the amusements and dangers Of a
summer in London"

LIGHTNING RoDs.-It May lie easily under
stood how the electric current may escape
from an overcharged rod, during deluging
shower, which thoroughly drenches the
places of attachment to building, thereby
forming connection outside the rod.
Similar phenomena are often observed by
telegraph operators, but the qserg legiti-
mately arises whether rod completely in
sulated, say by a non-conducting cost like an
ocean cable, may not, under some esnenm-
stances, become. an actual element OF dan
ger? Might not such q rod become SO s1r-
charged with electricity that eEea when we'll

shock to any one situated in close proximity
to the spot when it enters the earth? Should

IHE TEMPERATURE OF THE OCEAN.-Dr.
carpenter recently delivered q lecture before
the London Royal Institution on the TEN.
peTature OF the Ocean," showing, from the
soundiDgs made by the Challenger EXpedi-
ton, that the difference of climate between
northwestern Europe and the North Ameri-
can Atlantic seaboard is due not to the course
OF the Gulf stream, but to the circulation
Of the waters OF the ocean between the poles
and the equator. The shores of Northwest
ern Europe have the benefit Of the north.
+ ward movement Of the warm superficial stra-
rum, while the temperature of the American
coast is lowered by the surging.u up against
1t of deep glacial underflow. The fact, be
says, comes out most clearly from the Chal-
.enger soundiDes. which had been suspect
ed by the United States coast surveyors,
that the cold band which separates
the Gull stream from the United States
coast is really continuous with the cold
strata that lie at some depth beneath the
Guli Stream, and this continuity explains
the presence OF the cold band which was
previously wanting. For, as any flow of
wafer from the equator toward either pole
VIII tend toward the east in virtue of the
excess OF easterly momentum it brings from
part of the globe where its rotation was
rapid SO any flow OF water proceeding from
either pole toward the equator will tend to-
ward the west, 10 virtue of that deficiency
OF easterly momentum which 1t derives from
q part of the globe where its rotation was
less rapid. In this surging upward of the
deeper and colder stratum lying beneath the
Gulf Stream, we have very distinct evidence
OF It's southerly movement. The precisely
similar cold band which has been observed
by Captain st. John to separate the kuro

Garrett county near the line Of the Baltimore

About 1870 q young man Of good yeomIn
family in Deyonshire, named Broad, resolved
TO settle in America rather than spend his
lite in an English country-house. He had
connections engaged in hasiness for the Bill
timoIe asd Ohio Railroad Company, and was
pnt In communication with President Gar
rett, Of thatroad, who owned large tract of
upland oak. He purchased att high price.
ten dollars an acre--and sold portion of his
600 acres to 8 young MY. Willink, of Che
shire, University man. The two came to
Western Maryland, and, without other help,
proceeded to clear this iund, ditch the Glade,
portion, fenced it al and raise sheep aud cat.
