The Temperance Crusade.

It is curious to notice the different
forms which the temperance movement
assumes in different localities. In Ohio
the street-marches and saloon prayer
meetings are the order of the day, and
no other method of closing dramshops
is now regarded as orthodox. In In
diana the efforts of the women are hap
PLY directed to the enforcement of the
hitherto ineffective Baxter law. In
Massachusetts efforts are made to in
duce property holders to pledge them
selves not to allow liquor to be sold by
their tenants. The Rhode Island wo-
men wait upon the Legislature to petit
tion for the repeal of the Liquor-Li-
cense law. It is recorded that in Wilkes
barre, Pa, the crusade has the sin
gular result of driving two hundred
disreputable women away from the city.
The Washington people are asking for
Congressional prohibition. In New
York and Brooklyn no aggressive policy
has been definitely agreed upon, but a
good work is accomplished by the fire.
quent meetings, which call public at
tention to the magnitude of the evil of
drunkenness and the. warning voice of
the pulpit is raised Sunday after Sun
day with wholesome effect. Whatever
the method, and whatever may be the
exceptional excesses and indiscretions
of the reformers, they all have in view
o noble object, and we cannot withhold
q wish for their success, in so far as it
may promote human happiness with
out infringement upon individual rights.

formerly been Minister to France from

seeking the Governor was to obtain a
loan of $4,000 to carry them to New
York. They had spent $500, 900 since
leaving that city, and announced them
selves as "dead broke" "Who are
you?" said the Governor, and what
evidence can you bring to prove that
you are what you profess to be?" 81

said the spokesman, "and by courtesy

Governor. "Simply, Governor" re.

Maintenance of Uniform Temperature:

Gen. NORM has proposed a method,
both simple and inexpensive, of MAIN
tanning a temperature as constant as
possible in given locality, through all
the seasons of the year. TIE principle
he announces is simply that of regular
ly renewing the air of any given place
by causing cool air of q constant tenn
perature to flow into it, by the aid of a
moderate aspiration. In order to OBJ
tain this cool air, he states that, at
depth of about 70 feet in the earth the
temperature is constant, and that it is
to this fact that is due the uniform
temperature of several French public
halls, alluded to by him, which are sup
piled with air drawn through subterra-
mean galleries. He gives, also, an elab-
crate calculation of the quantity of air,
at given temperature, necessary to be
introduced into any apartment in order
to keep it in a uniform condition (some-
what cooler than the average summer
temperature) and shows that to main
| tain such temperature it is not neces-
sary to have recourse to the employ
ment of caves, expensive to construct
and t. keep free from watery infltra-
tions; but that, on the contrary, by a
proper arrangement of rooms one can
establish the reservoir of cold air either
at the level of the soil or at a moderate
depth beneath it, giving it plenty of
fresh air and sunlight and in which a
| temperature little lower than that of
springtime can be maintained without
| Inconvenience.

rubbing the dry tops of bald-headed
men, recommending invigorators war
ranted to produce bushy looks in less
than fortnight, while bald-headed

though all the while their wives and
daughters throng our streets covered
with crowns of beauty, and charming
actresses toss their blonde tresses in
luxurious profusion ON the stages of
our theaters? Our male population
will no doubt take q serene satisfaction
in saying that it is because men have
more to worry them than women, and
have the trouble of contriving how to
support their wives and daughters.
Probably, however, that is not the rea-
son. Women, of course, have finer and
longer hair than men, but men destroy
their heads under their hats, and thus
heat the tops of their craniums until
the hair dies out for want of air. Men
should either take off their hats sftener
or ventilate them better.

A DeSOlate Land.

Greenland is almost continental in its
dimensions, containing not less than
-750, 900 square miles, and is all bleak
wilderness of ice and snow, save little
strip extending to IA deg. north lati-
tude, along the western shore. The
coasts are deeply indented with bays
and fords, which invariably terminate
in glaciers. The whole interior seems
to be buried beneath great depth of
snow and ice, which loads up the valleys
and wraps over the hills. Nothing can
be more desolate than the interior. It
is one dead, dreary expanse of white SO
far as the eye can reach-no living
creature frequents this wilderness
neither beast, bird, nor insect. The
silence, deep as death, is broken only
when the warning storm arises to sweep
before it the pitiless, binding snow.
This represents the state of the north
ern part of our continent in the ice age.
Some of the Greenland glaciers attain a
vast size. DIR. Kane reports the great
Humboldt glacier as sixty miles wide
at its termination. Its seaward face
rises abruptly from the level of the
water to a height of 300 feet.
Since ice is lighter than water, when
ever a glacier enters the sea the dense
salt water tends to buoy it up. The
great tenacity of the frozen mass enables
it to resist the pressure for a time.
By-and-by, however, as the ice reaches
deeper water, it's cohesion is overcome,
and large segments are forced from it's
terminal part, and foated up from the
bed of the sea, to sail away as icebergs.
The glacier evidently crops under the
water to considerable depths, or, so
long as the force of cohesion is able to
resist the tendency of the salt water to
press it upward.
Though Greenland is said to be in
habited only upon the south and west
coast, there is record of an early set
tlement upon the side toward Iceland,
with which there has been no communi-
cation for 400 years. The colony was
planted about 1,OOOA D., which
fourished, and maintained intercourse
with its mother country till the begin
ming of the fifteenth century. Since
that time, owing to the setting in of the
arctic current, and the consequent
gradual increase of ice upon the coast,
the colony became inaccessible, and
the records of it disappear from history.
At various intervals between, 1879, 1751,
etc., down to our own time, the intrepid
Danes have striven in vain to reopen
communication with their lost colony.
This emerald coast, with valleys well
stocked with reindeer and vereant glades,
is now shut in by the pitiless ice-pack,
and the fate of its inhabitants ought to
excite the interest of the world. It
would be very interesting to be in
formed of the condition of this colony
whether the increasing cold has en-
larged the glaciers so as to push the
dwellings out to sea, or whether the
habitations are still standing, and a
population has sprung up who know of
the outside world only by tradition

Giant Powder.

About 600, 900 pounds of giant pow
der were made on the Pacific slope in
1873, and all sold in California and the
adjacent Territories. The Comstock
mine alone used 100, 900 pounds. No.
sells for rs cents, and No. for 80
cents, per pound. The sales show an
increase of 80 per cent. over those of
1872. There are several fuse factories
in California, one of which made 1000
900 feet, or over 1900 miles, in 1873.
