Washington, Nov. 26.-The funeral
services over the remains of Vice
President Wilson, took place in the
Senate chamber at half past ten a. m.
Although the weather was very unfav-
orable the crowd was great and many
were unable to gain admission to the
building after ten O'Clock. The SEN
ate chamber was heavily dTaped in
mourning, and Immediately in front
of the Vice Presidents table the cata-
falque was placed. the desks having
all been removed from the chamber.
Seats were arranged on the floor for
the President and Cabinet, Supreme
Court, members of the Senate and
House of Representatives and other
prominent persons. At 1915 the
Judges of the Supreme Court of the
United States, headed by Mr.. Middle
ton, their clerk, entered, and were as
signed to the front row of seats on the
right of the Vice Presidents desk.
At 1922 the body was taken from the
Rotu nda to the Senate chamber, pre-
NNAANh W NV. H. ADulNlNlldllh, ClluIl-
lain of the Senate, and Mr.. French.
Sergeant-at-Arms, the committee Of
arrangements and pail bearers, and
followed by the relatives of the de-
ceased, among them his brother, Mr.
Goliath and wife. The casket was
carried by twelve soldiers. AS soon
as it was placed on the cutafalque pre-
pared for its reception, two privates,
of the marine corps, in full uniform,
took position at the head and foot and
stood ''at rest" throughout the entire
service. Numerous crosses and crowns
of white flowers were sent to the capi-
tol this morning by friends of the
deceased, which were placed on the
coffin.

Gently recovered from a severe fever,
and while hardly convalescent had
gorged himself literally with the pre-

mildewed grapes, which are so plenti-

shops on Clay street. This diet did not
seem to strengthen him, and in few
days ne was curled up in his bunk with
a terrible attack of cholera morbus. A
great Celestial physician and astrologer
was called, and the usual amount of
broth from the eighth rib of a black pig
required to be applied 10 the patient s
chest. but strange to say, this did not
seem to straighten him out, as did not
the customary draught of soup from the
entrails of dried serpent. With great
pomp the second Galen was summoned ;
but twig of Acadia plucked when the
moon was full placed beneath the sick
mans pillow failed to revive him, and
broth from the fourth finger of the hand
of a man who was decapitated, applied
to the sole of his foot, bad no tendency
to ease his bowels. The doctors said
that their skill was i'm vain, as god
whom the man had offended had sent
devils 10 torment him. So, after secur-
ing the customary fees, they retired
from the field. The evil spirits must be
driven out. and to this end the pagan
relatives seized every available weapon,
from a tin pan to blunderbuss. They
raised the most frantic and discordant
cries and the most terrible din with
their weapons, as they beat the empty
air in hope of winging devil; all OF
which the suffering man muttered was
without effect. The joss sticks were
then lighted in all quarters of the house,
and the household god offered good
square meal. The sick man did some
tall chow-chowing, for his bowels yet
yearned. but his mOans grew feebler,
and his friends began TO calculate the
weight and compass of his bones, when

doubt by the pow-wOw. He saw the
situation at glance, and scattering the

less than four minutes the dead man
arose, cursing vociferously, and wa:

The wonders OF Creation.

Not the least interesting among geo
logical discoveries is the fact that Paris
was once below the waters of a gulf,
and the site of busy, teeming London
was covered by the waters of an estuary.
What are the revolutions effected by
man in these cities, compared with the
mighty changes wrought in them by the
mysterious but ever-active forces of
nature? Embedded in the strata of the
Silurian system are the fossil remains
of what may be fifty termed the marvels
of the ancient world
Hear the authors description of a
gigantic monster called the Cetiosaurus,
which science proves to have once
inhabited the British seas, and another
extinct animal called the MegalOsaurus !:
''The Cetiosaurus was probably about
sixty feet long. This king of monsters
was furnished with broad vertical tail, !,
capable of administering terrific blow,
and the toes of its webbed feet, proper
toned in size to the prodigious bulk they
had to sustain, were armed with sharp
claws, with which it fastened on the fish
and smaller reptiles constituting its food.
The Megalosaurus was another gigantic
reptile, which is supposed to have COM
bined with the magnitude of the hippo
potamus the structural peculiarities of
the alligator. But the strangest of these
hideous creatures, in point of structure
and appearance, was the PterOdactyl. a
flying reptile formed to subsist both OH
land and water. The size of the Ptero-
dactyl is variously estimated, but per-
haps the Outstretched wings from the
extremity of the one to that of the other
did not quite cover seventeen feet. 1t
was of predacious habits, and its jaw,
which was perfectly reptilian in form,
was set with about sixty cOnical teeth,
firmly riveted in the bone. The legs
appear to have been of considerable
length, and adapted equally for walking
or swimming. The neck was also long,
assimilating with a birds; and the
wings, which differed from any organs
of flight now existing, possessed extra
ordinary power, and enabled this aerial
scourge to soar to incredible heights, and
thence fall like lightning on its prey"
After perusing this last quotation, it
affords singular contrast to the student
of natural history to read of some of the
InfusOria, a class of animals SO minute
as only to be seen through microscope.
Among these, the Botifera, or wheel
insects, are so highly organized as to
possess mouth, stomach AN intestine,
and tail; while the neck, examined
through powerful microscope, appears
TO be furnished with eyes, and anteriorly
it bears a most curious organ, the denti-
culated edges of which vibrate i'm sue
cession, giving the whole member the
appearance of a wheel. Equally singu-

Porter.HOuse Steaks.

This term has an American origin.
In 1914, a hungry pilot entered New
York porter house on Pearl street,
where lunch as well as drink could be
obtained. Morrison, the keeper, had
nothing but the beef ordered for the
next days family dinner, in the shape
of a sirlOin roasting piece, and from
this he offered the pilot cut, which he
accepted. After ravenously devouring
it, he turned to his host, who was ex-
pecting dissatisfaction with the order,
''Messmate another steak just like that"
After having finished his steaks and
porter, the old pilot ordered his steaks
TO be ''cut off the roasting piece for the
future" and soon his companions
learned the good that lies in the ''small
DIN steak" and Morrison was obliged
to instruct his butcher to cut his sirloin
into steaks for his customers, and the
butcher, ordering his subordinates and
messengers, designated them as ''porter
house steaks" and increasing custom
and extending repute soon established
the term now so common in all eating
houses of New England.

Disease a Help to the Intellect.

In his ''Enigmas of Life" Mr.. Greg,
the well known English essayist, takes
the ground that bodily pain and disease
are not only compatible with, but may
directly contribute to the loftiest efforts
of the intellect, sometimes positively
enhancing its powers, that the effect of
some disorders and of certain sorts of
pain upon the nerves is to produce a
cerebral eXcitation, and that the stimulus
thus communicated to the material Or
gan of thought renders it for the time
capable of unusual effort. Mr.. Greg
asserts that men under the stirring in
fiuence of severe pain are capable of a
degree of imaginative and ratiocinative
brilliancy which astonishes themselves
and all who have known them only in
ordinary moods of comfort; torpid fac
ulties becoming vigorous and sparkling,
forgotten knowledge being recovered,
and marvellous CLEANS of insight being
vouchsafed them. The wonderful elO-
quence of Robert Hall is believed to
have been greatly owing to the stimu-
lating influence of terrible spinal
malady. DIR Conolly mentions gen.
tleman whose mental faculties never
reached their full power except under
the irritation of blister. Such in
stances rs these are regarded by Mr..
Greg a fully corroborating his theory.

Larger Telescopes Wanted.

When we consider the enormous dis
tances which the astronomer has to
penetrate. ere he can bring himself
within the range of observation of the
nearest even of the celestial bodies, and
when we think of the infinite depths
beyond, filled with untold wonders, it
is manifest that instruments of far
greater light-grasping and space-pene-
trating power than We now possess
must be employed. Everything has
already been done by small instruments
which can be done. They are, many of
them, of exquisite wcrkma nship, and
admirable in their details; but they are
no more fit to give the revelations, and
penetrate to the distances required than
drinking-cup is 10 measure the Allan
tic. What is now needed is instruments
of gigantic size and great perfection of
workmanship, which will give us some
specific and reliable information in re-
gard TO the solar system, and which will
open up the inter-stellar spaces around
it. 1t can hardly be regarded as cred
liable to astronomical enterprise that
such a planet as the moon, only some
240, 900 miles away from US, and most
admirably planned for observation,
should be so little known; or that an
object the size of St. Paul's Cathedral
should be seen only as a discernible
point on her surface; while of the con-
ditions of life on such planets as Mar
and Venus we should be profoundly
ignorant, il remaining debatable point
whether animal or vegetable life exists
on their surface at all. The reason
simply is, that the toys (as they must
soon come to be regarded hitherto em-
ployed in their observations are alto
gether inadequate to cope with the dis
tances they are removed from us. How
ever fine their quality, they cannot
bring these celestial bodies so near us
as to enable us to see them distinctly;
and our knowledge of them will never
be increased until we have instruments
which can. Every astronomer knows
that with the increase of the size of
telescopes the difficulty of moving and
observing with them increases. But
the overcoming of such difficulties is

of our democratic Senators seated on
those slippery red benches, and Thought
how they would play the mischief with

have brought, if not the thunders OF

Cannot Find their Level.

By far too many people fancy that
they are not appreciated according to
their deserts. 81 want to make a
change. / feel that l am not valued
according to my deserts, says an aspir-
ing young man. In all probability our
inexperienced friend has more egotism
and selfishness than is good for him ;
but we advise him to move-anywhere
that he may choose-in order to test the
accuracy of his gauge of his own ability
or merit. 1t is proper to add that, as a
rule, a man is appreciated fully for all
he is and does-often for much more !:
and it is wise and, as rule, safe, to
take the measure other people give you
as just one; and if it does not satisfy
you, work harder until they voluntarily
change it. Few men rise and remain
long above their just level; few can be
kept below il.

An Alloy Of CopperAdherenf 10 Glass.
An alloy of copper which will adhere
to glass or porcelain is made by mixing
from 20 to 30 parts of copper in powder,
obtained by the reduction of the OK
ide of hydrogen or by the precipita-
ton of the sulphate by zincl with sui
phuric acid and then with Z parts of
mercury. The mixture is triturated
and mingled with care. The acid is
removed by washing in hot water, and
the mass allowed to dry. At the end
of 10 or 12 hours, the latter becomes
quite hard and susceptible of a fine
polish. On heating it softens, but on
cooling does not contract. This alloy
may also be used for joining any deli,
cate objects which will not Withstand
very high temperatures.

Through the mists that blind it,
Trembles up the ripping tide
With the sea behind il
Like q warrior-angel sped
On mighty mission
Light and life about him shed.
A trsnscendent vision
Mailed in gold and fire he stands,
And with splendors shaken.
Bids the sleeping seas and lands
Quicken and awaken.

Room the rival giants come
Lo, the Sun and Labor.

Pictorial TTles.-A comparatively new
mode of employing tiles for the lining
ofroOmsh has been introduced by Messrs.
Simpson, who have decorated the in
terror of several important buildings
in this manner. The tiles are placed
together in their unglazed state. and a
picture is painted upon them in colOrs
suitable for firing. They are then
taken asunder and put into the furnace
and then subjected to great heat and
glazed. If this is successfully accom-
plished, the tiles can now be fixed
agbinst the wall of the room and pres
ent an absolutely indestructible deco
ration, which can be washed as often
as it is needed. though from its high
glaze it is not easily apt to catch dirt.

NeU Method of Detecting Aduherd-
ton of Fatty Oils.-M. Roth employs,
as re- agent for the above, sulphuric
acid at 40 deg. b. saturated with nj
trous vapors by causing nitric acid to
act upon large pieces of iron. At the
end of six or eight days, the solution
acquires fine blush green color, in
dicative of complete saturatiOn. This
re-agent solidifies either partially or
entirely the olein of non -siccative oils.
The purity of the oil may thus be de-
termined by noting the time which it
occupies in solidifying.
