An Instructive Exeperiment.
The principles in the circu
lation Of the waters of the sea
were beautifully shown before
the Royal geographical society,
recently, by a eimple expen
meEt. A trough with plate
glass sides, about six ieet long
and a foot deep, but not more
than an inch wide, was filed
with water. At one end u
piece was wedged in between
the sides to represent the polar
cold, while the troplc heat was
represented at the other end By
a bar of metal laid across the
surface of the water, the pro-
jectlng end of which was heat
ed by a spirit lamp. Red col
orlng matter was then put in at
the warm end, and the blue al
the cold end, 80 that the cur
rents could could be traced.
The blue water, chilled by
contact with the ice, immedi-
ately fell down 10 the bottom
crept slowly along, and grad
ually rose toward the surface Of
the equatorial end, aftet which
it gradually returned along Ile
surface TO the starting point.
The red water crept first along
the surface to the polar end,
then fell TO the bottom just as
the blue had done, and formed
another stratum, creeping back
again along a bottom aid com
ink to the surface. Each color
made q distinct circulation dur
Ing the hslf hour in which the
audience viewed the expert.

Getting Rid Of the Spirits.

its appearance In the village
of--,old Deacon IsaacS, q
wealthy man, who had stood
by the church for nearly three
score years, was exceedingly
bitter against all believers In
the ~devll's work." as he called
it, and denounced spiritualism
in no very gentle language -
Imagine the Deacon's anger,
then, when SIX months after
ward he found 1t had worked
its way into his Own family,
and not only were his wife and
daughters believer, but one Of
them was a medium. and pos
sessed iull power to, converse
with the spirits of those who
had departed to that "bourue
from which no traveller returns. "
Deacon Isaacs was mad
dreadfully mad-but he had
wit enough not to show it, and
he bore the taunts of the un-
godly with a meek spirit. He
knew il would be useless to de-
clare open war, for Mrs. Isaacs
alone had always proved more
than a match for HIM, and he
was sure to be defeated. He
must "circum 7ent the critter," I"
as he expressed it, and to that
end he sat himself to work.
He was a man OF sound judg-
ment, and his worldly expert
ence of fifty years was not
thrown away. From the day
it first came to his knowledge
that his wife and daughters
were spiritualists, he never
spoke a word against nor did
he ever allude I'd it, except in
general terms IN. bis morning
prayers; but any one could see
that it troubled him, for he was
absent minded, his eyes wan
dered restlessly, and his coun-
tenance looked careworn.
The Deacon witnessed one
or two settings" at his house
and was satisfied that II he
possessed a little more kno WI
ed he could get rid Of the ali
noyance. So one morning he
started for The city, determin-
ed to thoroughly investigate
the subject bsiore he returned.
After visiting one or two Of
the most popular mediums, and
paying his money, he returned
home satisfied that he could
"ses through it,"
There was a "sItting" at the
Deacon's house on the night he
returned, and his daughter Ma
ry-the medium-invited the
Deacon to take a seat at the
table, which, to her gratifica-
tion was accepted The spirits
were iii good tune, and so ex-
ceedingIy communicative that
the Deacon was indtced Co ask
a few questions, which were
readily ahswefed, and wife and
daughters were in extacies at
the thought that father would
vet he a believer, and urged
the Deacon, on in his inquirers,
"Has my wife always been
true to hef marriage vowsF
asked the Deacon.
To iris question there were
lsno raps in return. while Mrs
Isaacs sat transfixed with holy
