Brains Of Men and Animals.

At the recent meeting of the British
Association the Dean of Clonfert, DR..
Byrne, made an attempt to trace to the
anterior, middle and posterior portions
of the Observation-Disclosures or cerebrum the
various mental faculties which we see
successfully developed in those lower
animals most nearly akin to man. He
pointed out that in the rabbit, dog, ape
and man certain portions of the brain are
relatively of larger development as we
pass from the first to the last, and that
accompanying this development we have
the development Of new physical powers.
In the rodents and ruminants there is
first perceptible the power of thinking of
a series of connected acts. In the carniv-
ora there is a power of design and in
the anthropoid apes sense of general
principles. Cases were cited to support
these propositions, and it was suggested,
in accordance with the corresponding
anatomical arrangements, that the in
terror lObes of the cerebrum belong to
the act of thinking of single objects of
sense; those of the middle lobe to the
act of thinking of such objects with a
sense of their succession, and of each as
part of the succession; and those of the
posterior lobe to the act of thinking of
the coexistence or succession of them as
a general principle.

A CAPITAL of 100000 sterling is being
raised in London, by joint stock subscrip-
ton, for the establishment of morning
and evening newspaper upon what is
specifically defined as commercial"
basis. In short, this journal, while Civ.
ing all the news very fully, is to sell its
political, literary and other editorial SER
vices to the public, just as great lawyer
puts his abilities at the command of all
paying clients Professional editors of
the best rank are to be placed over all
the different departments and, in fact,
this original newspaper is to be conduct
ed strictly in accordance with the com.
mercial principles of any other business.

The Second Congregational Society
OF Bedford, Mass, has been two years
without pastor, during which time
eighty-hve ministers have supplied the
pulplt: Two OF this number were invited
to settle, but declined.
1t is proposed to introduce the Kin
dergarten system into the public schools
OF Milwaukee. The school census of
this year shows vast increase over that

increase of fully Is per cent.
The most ancient Congregational
Church in the State of Connecticut and
the oldest of any denomination is that
of Windsor, which was organized in 1880;
the one at Hartford in 1886; at New
Haven in 1910; at Norwich Town in 1860.
In the last town the length of the pastor
ate Of two of the clergymen aggregated
1873 years.
The number of native ministers in
India has largely increased since 1861.
In that year there were $40 mission sta
tions and ninety-seven native ministers.
In 1871 there were 423 stations and 226
native ministers. During this period the
number of foreign missionaries had risen
from 40 to 47S. There was, therefore,
only an increase of eight foreign mission
IN nrNf sns
tiers.
The value of all the beneficcs of the
Established Church in England and
Wales has been reported to Parliament
to be f3, 719,031. OF the whole number,
those in public patronage are valued at
81 ,S25, sos, and those in private gift e.
S93, 226 This does not include the value
OF the bishoprics. The Secretary of the
estimates the present value of the pri-
vate patronage, taking it at a nine years
purchase, to be e17,0OO,OOO.
Joseph Arch, who recently visited
this country as the champion of the farm
Iaborers Of England, was Primitive
Methodist preacher before he became
public agitator, and occasionally enters
the pulpit now. On a recent Sunday
evening he preached in the Standard
Theater, Shoreditch, London, to an au-
dience of 5000 persons. Mr.. Arch APP
peared on the stage with some unmistak-
able specimens Of the laboring class by
his side. One man wore fustian coat
without sleeves. After the services a
collection of upward of fifty dollars was
taken for the lOcked-out farm laborers.
The sermon lasted about forty minutes.
The main idea of it was the philanthropic
character of Christ. The audience fire.
quently applauded. He preached with
great ease to eager listeners, who felt
that he was one of them.

The conversion of Muscat grapes into

Wild mustard is so plentiful in
Pajaro Valley, CAL, that a 245-acre wheat

The main features of new plan for
raising sunken ships are closing hermet-
ically the matches and all openings in the
upper parts, and then to pump down air
through tubes inserted through the bot
tom. The air thus introduced rises to-
ward the under side of the deck, and not
being able to escape presses the water
down and out through the holes in the
ships bottom. Tie vessel by this means
will be rendered buoyant and rise to the
surface.
When sheet of paper is immersed
in an ammoniacal solution of coppeEaand
then dried it is said to become quite i'm
permeable to water, and does not lose
this quality even although the water be
boiling. Two sheets of paper thus pre-
pared and passed through a cylinder adj
here to each other so completely as to be
quite inseparable. If large number of
sheets so prepared be cylindered together,
boards of great thickness are obtained,
the cohesion and resistance of which may
be increased by interposing fbrous mat
ter of cloths. The substance SO prepared
is quite as hard as the closest-grained
wood of the same thickness. The am
moniacal solution of copper is prepared
by treating plates Of copper with ammonia

quired, in the presence of the messenger
or representative of the publisherl the
proper tarc allowed for the sacks in
which the publications are inclosed, and
postage paid on the net weight at the
rate of two cents per pound for
newspapers and three cents per pound
for magazines. A numbered receipt,
naming the weight and amount of post
age paid, will be given to the messenger,
and in the stub" in the receipt-b book,
which will bear corresponding number,
will be entered the same items of weight
and amount paid. To this stub will be
affixed stamps, specially designed for
this use, and known as postage receipt
stamps" representing a value equivalent
to the sum paid for postage in each case.
These stamps will be affixed bv the
postofflce officials and Cancelled by them
at the time of use, and, with the stubs
will be sent to the Postoffice Department
at the close of each quarter with the
POstmaster's accounts. As the stamps
will be furnished and charged to all Post
masters at their face value, it will be
seen that those thus Cancelled and re-
turned will serve at once as checks and
vouchers of the amount received for
newspaper postage during each quarter.
They can be used only in the manner de-
scribed above, being valueless for pre-
payment OF postage when attached to
mail matter, and, as their use is con-
fined to Postnasters, they offer no tempta-
ton to cOuntcrfeiters.
AS the weight of the newspapers re-
ceived daily from publishers for mailing
at the New York office is about fifty.one
tons, the receipts from that source alone
will be more than $4,000 per day and
nearly $64O, 900 per year. The last re-
port of the Postmaster General shows
that the total receipts of newspaper and
pamphlet postage throughout the entire
c ;oua for the year ending June 80,
York alone will collect over one-third of
that sum annually under the new system,
there would seem to be every reason to
look for heavy addition on the credit

"A new process of engraving on cop

has been announced by Bouquet dc
Lagryc which commends itself on &C.
count of its simplicity and economy of
cost. This consists essentially in first
electroplating or otherwise coating the
object with thin layer of silver, which
is then evenly coated with a colored
varnish. The outline topography and
lettering are then to be marked in with q
dry point, as is done with diamond in
engraving upon stone. These lines are
then to be etched by means of the

The Scientific american gives some
particulars about a ncwly-patcntcd horse
and to remedy cracked or contracted
hoofs. 1t may be shortly described as
an india rubber ovcrshoc for horses. 1t
is made and lined in precisely similar
manner to the articles of apparel worn
by the human race. The sole is made
thick and is roughened to prevent slip
ping. The device is easily removed from
or put on the hoof, and hence, while
standing in the stall or turned out to pas
ture, the horse may be left barefootcd.
In winter time the covering serves as a
protection against illness due to the
common practice of mingling salt with
the roughcned surface of the rubber be-
meath serves to give the animal foot
hold in slippery weather. Their cost is
ene-third more than iron shoes but their
durability is great. They have been
successfully used for some time past.
