Surprising that the tunnel under Gibral-

the entry and exit galleries would be each

The Armed Strength Of Europe.

A lecture was recently delivered be-

There are four armies of the first class,

INCUBATION FOR BEE STINGS.-hlr.
g. Walker gives an interesting account in
the British Bee journal, of sc, les of cx-
periments on incubation by bee poison.
The method of procedure was to permit a
bee to sting him on the wrist, care being
aiken to obtain the largest amount Of poi
ION. On the first day this operation was
reformed twice. The effect was a severe
superficial erysipclas, with the ordinary
symptoms of inflammation. After a few
lays, these symptoms having disappeared,
nc caused the insect to sting him three
times in quick succession. Though the
'.ysipelas inflammation was not so severe,
singing sensation extended up to the
BOULDER, and an enlargement of Emphatic
lands in the neck showed that the poison
ad been absorbed into the system. A
NV days afterwards he again received three
tings, which were attended by symptoms
4 less intensity. After the twentieth
sting. there WA only aslight itching sen
,ation for short time in the immediate w
.inity of the wound, and the effect OF the
incubation appeared to be satisfactory.

A Theory Of the Storms.
THEY ARE EXPLAINED by FATHER
SHcHL's OBSERVATIONS ON THE Suns
BULK.
lAun Anbor (Aich.) Letter to New York Graphic

For nearly two months reports OF
great and disastrous inundations have
been coming from various extended
districts of Europe and America, and
laterly from Africa and Asia. In south
ern Farncc there has been the greatest
destruction of life and property; many
large tracts of land in England-as in
Somerset, Wits, Gloucester. Leicester
shire-arc now submerged; in South
Wales the loss of life and property has
been enormous; violent storms have
ragged in South America, and our West
ern States acres upon acres OF pasture
and corn lands are under water; rivers
are rising high above their ordinary
level; and in Colorado, where rain is
generally unknown at this season OF the
ycar-in California, where rain is an
anomaly, the water has fallen in over
whclming torrents. 1t seems as though
a universal dclu.c were imminent.
Heavy deposits of rain, nail and snow
have caused the floods, and i'll ordinary
circumstances, though storms are right
ly supposed to be due mainly to local
causes, yet when these phenomena
simultaneously become so general in
places widely sundcrcd ii is Il logical
necessity to seek for some general cause
Of them all.
That the size and distribution of the
solar spots have an electromagnetic CT
feet On the earth and are connected
with the occurrence of storms Other
than magnetic storms is now fully
known, but observations made by Faith
cr Sccchi during the years 1877.
have cast still further light ON this poin
by showing that the size of the sun i
not always the same, hut that ii varies
in such way that when the solar Iii
Minctcr has minimum values TIE mum
her Of spots and protubcranccs are ii
their maximum. During II violent So
lar storm, when jets of incancsccnt by
drogen ninety or 4 hundred Thousand
miles in length are darling towards the
earth, the solar diameter is less than
during periods of comparative calm
According to Captain Ericsson, the
nnlctcr is 1901 feet every day, but tn,
temporary tiuctarons are vastly greater
than this, and capable of producing Ter.
rcstrial storms proportionally to their nc
tivity. The dynamic activity of the Sun
is greatest when the diameter is tn,
smallest, and rice versa. OF late thcr.

We are aware of the difficulty of

founded alone upon patriotism; but in
an enterprise like this of establishing
a cotton factory, which must be dr.
rect pecuniary benefit TO our farmers.
as well as every one else owning prop
