PROF. MARSH ON THE LAKE.BASlNS OF
THE WEST.

In a memoir by Prof. o. G. Marsh, on
1.-The Ancient Lake Basins Of the Rocky
Mountain Region" published in the Ameri-
can Journal Of Science, the formation Of
these basins is traced back TO different
epochs Of Tertiary time on the evidence af-
forded by the fauna peculiar to each. The
oldest Of these Tertiary lake b1sins are Of
Eocene age The first discovered and best
known Of these Eocene lake-beds is tine
Green River basin, lying between the
Rocky Mountains and the Wasaich range,
in the depression now drained by the Green
River. The fauna entombed TO this Eocene
Ike indicates tropical climate-iapiroid
mammals. monkeys, crocodiles, lizards, ser
penfs. The author cites. as an example Of
The Miocene basins an ancient lake bed ly-
ing north Of the Black Hills. The fauna
here discovered indicates . climate much
less tropical than that Of the Eo,ene lakes,
as il seen in the absence Of monkeys, and
scarcity OF reptilian life. At the close II
the Miocene subsistence took place east Of
the Rocky Mountains. A great Piiocene
lake was thus formed directly over the Mic.
Gene basin just mentioned, having nearly
the same boundaries on the north and west
BLACK Hills and Rocky Mountainst, but ex.
tending much farther east, and stretching
south nearly TO the Gulf Of Mexico Thu
fauna Of this lake-basin indicates q warn
temperate climate The more commor
mammals are q mastodon, rhinoceros, cam
els, and horses, the latter being especial,
abundant.

courts, has succe. ded, in an ingenious man.
ner. in TRANSPORTING number of the regis
tiers which were burnt during the Commune.
These registers had remained SO long in the
FIRE that each of them seemed to have be-
come an homogeneous block, more like
slab of charcoal than any thing else, and,
when an attempt was made to detach a leaf.
it fell away into powder. Many scientific
men had examined these unpromising black
blocks, when NJ. Rathelot hit upon the fol-
lowing method of operation: In the first
place, he cut off the back of the book so as
to leave nothing but n maps Of leaves,
which the fire had caused to adhere 10 each
other He then stepped the book in water,
afterward exposed it, all wet rs it was, to
the heat at the mouth of a calorifere; the
water, as it evaporated, raised the leaves,
one by one, and they could be separated,
but with extraordinary precautions. Each
sheet was then deciphered, and the copy
certified by a legal officer. In this way the
records Of nearly 10000 official acts have
been saved. The appearance Of the pages
was very curious-the writing appeared OF
dull black, while the paper was Of lus
trous black. something like velvet dccora-
tons on black satin ground, so that the
entries were not difficult to read.

SCIENCE
AN ENGLISH CURE FOR DRUNKEN
MESS

There is prescription in use in Eng
land for the cure Of drunkenness, by which
thousands are said to have been assisted in
recovering themselves. The receipt came
into notoriety through the efforts Of Capt.
John Dine Hall, commander Of the Great
Eastern steamship. He hal fallen into
such habitual drunkenness, that his most
earnest efforts to reclaim himself proved
unavailing. At length he sought the adj
vice of an eminent physician, who gave
him prescription, which he followed faith
fully or seven months, and at the end of
that time had lost all desire for liquor, al
though he had for many years been led
captive, which he afterward published,
and by which so many drunkards have
been assisted to reform, as follows: ''Sul-
plate of iron, five grains: magnesia, ten
grains; peppermint water, eleven drachms;
spirit of nutmeg, one drachm twice day. :"
This preparation acts as stimulant and
tonic, aud partially supplies the place of
the accustomed liquor, and prevents that
absolute physical and moral pl ostration
that follows sudden breaking from the
use of stimulating drinks.-[ Scientific

in the arteries of the brain are the fatty
and the calcareous. The microscope has
made some startling revelations on this fat
ty decay. The strong, elastic fibres, that
should make up the substance Of the mid
arterial coat, are, in places here and there,
no longer to be seen, their place being oc-
cupiel by fatty globules, which have very
little resisting power to a distributing force.
The chief causes which produce this
structural change are the habitual use Of
ardent spirits and tobacco. Every one is
aware that the leading effects OF these agents
on the body are such as show that the fnnc-
| tons Of the nervous system are more af-
fected than any other; and the physician
also knows that. when symptoms Of disor-
der arise from their use, they are such as
denote that the nervous system is almost
alone implicated. Delirium tremens, insom-
MIA, tremulous hands, and nervous head
aches, are some Of the characteristic effects
Of the habitual use Of stimulants and mar
cotics.
| Ardent spirits also tend to produce an
over fullness Of the cerebral vessels, and to
affect the functions Of the brain in man
ner which strangely blends stupidity,
brightness, and exhilaration. Effects SO
unnatural, and SO :requentl, ending in dis
ease, influence injuriously the nutrition of
the nervous centres. And to interfere with
the nutrition Of any part Of the body is
simply to impair the life and power Of its
structure. The evidences Of this impair
ment may not be left Immediately. In fact,
the evidences Of impairment by any bad
habit are seldom apparent during the prime
of youthful vigor. But the mischief is GO
ing on nevertheless. and the organ upon
which the weight of infringement falls will
be the one that will first manifest signs Of
disease, and through which death will MAKE
, its conquest over the body.
Besides this weakening Of the vessels up
on which the strong impulse of blood from
the heart falls at the rate of sixty times .
minute, and the very little external suppo IT
such defective vessels receive from the soft
and pulpy brain, there is another source OF
danger by break, in the extraordinary
Gibbs and tides Of blood to which the con-
+ tents Of the Uranium are subject. During
sleep the brain is almost bloodless; its sub
stance seems to shrink into lifeless mass;
but the moment that wakefulness occurs 1t
; swels out, gets red, its arteries and veins
becoming distended with great tides Of
blood No other part of the body is subject
to ouch drought and foods in its blood cir
, culation. This inequality is yet further in
creased by severe mind-labor The ardent
T student. is well aware that deep thought
heats the head and cools the feet. The
brain is then receiving more than an ordi-
nary supply of blood and the feet less.

A MEMORY.

l.
rne new house is built while the old one grown
hoary
And shattered by time has been all torn away;
let still with me- fingers the spell Of that glo,y,
Which hallowed its halls ere they went to de-
cay!
No w-fashioned structure, no matter how
splendid,
Can eer to nv heart the old pleasure restore,
1t has felt in the old house, whose life is now
ended,
In the dear days departed, the dear days of
yore!
Though gold decks the new, with SO much that
is charming,
And art at its bidding her treasures unfold;
Still powerless both, are my cold heat IN
For the dear spell is lacking that chung to the
old.
Still lacking the SPELL for memory's finger,
Points back. in its past, to no hours that were
dear;
Recalls not scene where once loved to lin
Not grief or JOY that have been hallowed
here
In vain do people, this house newly bullded,
With memories of those who once lived in the
old:
Out Of place seem their forms IN It's nails
brightly gided,
In its parlors sound strangely the stories they
told

Thank God for misfortune, if fortune must
ever,
Bring desire to exchange the old landmarks
for new!
Let gloomy disaster crown every endeavor,
If success means supplanting what formerly
grew!

In the glare of success, with heart proudly
beating,
And hands grasping prizes allurlngly set;
How nv soul often aches for the homlie
greeting,
Which Beneath the old roof tree long ag
met!

And SO as knew the old house | rebuild it,
In fancy its small rooms and low, restore,
With a mothers dear presence to lovingly gill
And flush me with Joy as enter its door!

Aow often forsooth, is memory turning,
From the noisy charm Of the present away!
How loyal at last is my heart in its yearning,
For the quiet delights OF that happier dayl
