Looking for the Comet.

A policeman found a man lying fiat
on his back on the esplanade at a late
hour the other night calmly studying
the heavens. Upon raising him to a
sitting posture and asking him what he
was doing there, he replied that he was
tryin' to find the (hic) comet" He
had a copy of a newspaper in his hand
containing a diagram of the heavens.
"You see" said this hagstOne astrOno-
mer, spreading the paper out on his
knees and blinking gravely, "this ere

mers. It's 'tracted mine. I'm lookin' for
it. I read in paper faint visible with

How to be Happy.

Nobody is happy who is not concei-
ted. So it curiOusly happens that only
for imperfect characters is reserved the
life of perfect enjoyment. There is no
content so all-embracing, so pervsding
and invigoratiDg as self-cOntent. The
philosophers hold out other means of
happiness, but they are mOoEshine to
this. The man whose bosom contains a
perpetual principle of self-esteem, pos
sesses a balm for everye woe. The
blues that SO easily beset the rest of
humanity are unknown to him. His ways
ere ways of pleasantness. The winds
and the rains may blow and dash against
him the hurricane may shake the win
dOw-shutters and topple over his chin
neys but within all this is peace. Be
conceited and You will be happy.

The LengtheniDg Years of Man.

In an interesting paper by DR.. Ed
ward Jarvis, in the fifth annual report
of the Massachusetts, board of health,
the following vital statistics, past and
present, of various countries, strikiagly
show how the advance of civilization
has prolonged life : In ancient Rome,
in the period 200 to 500 years after the
christian era, the average duration of
life in the most favored class was 80
years. Ir the present century the av-
erage longevity of persons of the same
class is 80 years. Iu the sixteenth cen
fury the average longevity in Geneva
was 2I.21 years between 1914 and
1888 it was 40. 6S, and as large a portion
now live to 20, as lived to 43, 800 years
ago. In 1898 the British government
borrowed money by selling annuities on
lives from infancy upward, on the basis
of the average longevity. The treas
urer received the price and paid the an
nuities regBlarly as long as the annui-
tants lived. The contract was mutually
satisfactory and profitable. Ninety
seven years later, Mr.. Pitt issued an
other tontiue or scale of annuities, on
the basis of the same expectation OF life
as in the previous century. These lat
ter annuitants, however, lived so much
longer than their predecessors, that it
proved to be a very costly loan for the
government. It was found that while
1000 of each sex in the first tontine
died under the age of IS, only 5,772
males, and 9, 416 females in the second
tontine died at the same age of 100
years later. The average life of the
of 1893 was 26.5 years,
while those of 1890 lived 80 years and
9 months after they were 80 years old.
From these facts, says DR.. Jarvis, it is
plain that life, in many forms and man.
ifestations, and probably IN all, can be
in vigor, intensity and dura-
ton, under favorable circumstances
amid which, and the conditions in
which, any form of life is placed, should
be brought into harmony with the law
appointed for its being.

Mondes says that eleven principal ma
tions of the world, Great Britain. United
States, France, Germany, Belgium,
Austria, Russia, Italy, Spain, Holland
and Sweden, have more than doubled
their aggregate commerce in less than
twenty years. The foreign trade of
these countries amounted, in 1855, to
81, 251, 700, 900, and in 1872 to SO, 272,-
600, 600, showing, in seventeen years,
az increase of S., O34, 300, 600, or 118
per cent. The increase in population
during the above period is 40, 1T, 900
souls, or IA 8 per cent; and during the
aforementioned year the commerce per
capita was 1882, in the last year,
500. 76, or an increase of S14.14 to each

A SIMPLE LEvE1ING INSTRUMENT
M. Coulter proposes for the above
pendulum hung by double point, which
carries, rigidly attached, a collimeter
formed of small tube Theoretically
closed at one extremity by a piece of
ground glass. At the other end is a
converging lens, eighteen inches in
diameter and fifty -four-inch focus. The
radius of the exterior face of the lens
should be six or seven times less than
that of the interior face. At the princi-
pal focus is diaphragm pierced with
hole 0.6-inch in diameter, across which
is thread of black cotton. By suita-
BILE construction, the pendulum being
at rest, the plane passing through the
thread and the optical center of the
lens Is horizontal. On looking through
the lens the observer sees the thread as
a horizontal line which marks on the
field the intersection of horizontal plane
through the instrument. By placing
the eye IN proper position, the thread
and exterior objects may be seen at the
same time, and the mark on a leveling
rod may be adjusted to coincide with
the thread, so obtaining a level.

BARKING TREES. FOR Tan, WITH
STEAM.-An apparatus patented by Mai
ire, Tor the employment of steam in
perllng bark for tan described in Din
gler's Journal for 1860, in regard to
which very contradictory opinions were
expressed, has been tested at Wiesbaden
under supervision of the government,
with the following results The quality
OF the leather corresponds to the amount
OF tannin in the bark. The variation
OF the amount of tannin in the bark at
different seasons of the year is too small
to be regarded in tanning. The amount
OF tannin in bark removed by the aid
OF steam IN the spring, from trees felled
IN winter, showed no loss either by
chemical analysis or by actual expert
ments IN tanning. The process, there
fore, on these points, is not obje ction-
able.
The MAGNETIzATIoN OF GLAss.-An
interesting paper in Poggendorf's An
nalon, by Prof. Villari, treats of the
time that flint glass takes to be magne-
tized, demagnetized and to turn the
plane of polarization. He rotated a
glass cylinder between the poles of an
electro magnet, where it acted like a
cylindrical lens with polarized light
passing through the poles. When not
magnetized, the cylinder, whether In
motion or at rest, was neutral to the
light but when magnetized its plane
rotating power diminished considerably
with increasing velocity of rotation,
each diameter remained too short a
time In the axial direction to acquire all
the magnetism it would otherwise have.
To give flint glass such diamagnetic
intensity as became observable by rota-
ton of the plane required at least 1900
of a second of time, while to give it all
the diamagnetism it is capable of taking
under q strong magnet at least 1-400 Of
a second WAS needed.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ELEC-
TRICITY, HEAT AND MOLECULAR FORCES.
Professor Barrett, of Dublin, calls at
tention to certain remarkable molecular
changes occurring in iron wire at low
red heat. Mr.. Gore, in 1869, published
the important fact that when an iron
wire is heated to bright incandescence
and then allowed to cool, momentary
elongation occurs just after it has begun
to contract by cooling. Mr.. Barrett
having I'm lertaken to investigate this
subject, finds that during the prelim-
mary heating of the wire slight and
momentary retrogression in the other
wise regular expansion was noticed at a
temperature corresponding to the pow
erfu1 jerk that occurred on cooling; and,
again, it was evident that the anomalous
department of the iron occurred at APP
proximately the same temperature at
which iron undergoes magnetic change.
Ali kinds of iron do not exhibit this be-
havior, some showing it in more or
less marked degree. Barrett was not
able to detect any change in heating or
cooling in certain specimens of good,
soft iron wire; but in hard iron wire,
and notably in steel wire, it is very ap-
parent.
