was grinding platitudes for the Virginia

Prof. Tyndall has invented filter which
enables firemen to draw breath in the midst
of smoke and sitting gases. 1t has been
submitted to trial by Capt. Shaw, of the
London fire brigade, and promises to be of
considerable utility. A hood is drawn on
over the head, into which the filter is fitted
opposite the mouth. The filter is composed
of layers of dry cotton, cotton wet with
glycerine, dry wool and pounded charcoal.
The cotton and wool arrest the scot and
floating substances, the glycerine and char
coal arrest the hydro-carbon and other irri-
tating gases.

A New York correspondent thus speaks
Of the dramatic doings and sayings of
Beecher, in his last Sunday sermon: "a
man who has been cured of a broken leg,
when walking perfectly upright, would be
justified in praising the physician " ho at
tended him; but who would blame the man
who limped painfully along, and said, Its
all .quackery, I've got the only surgeon
that's good for anything" Here Mr..
Beecber illustrated his remark by bend
ing his right leg outward and limping across
the platform. in a manner so ludlcrous as
to excite loud laughter and applause. Then
Mr.. Beecher took a seat upon the arm Of the
chair, cushioned by his cloak and overcoat,
and, with his right hand ia his trowsers
pocket spoke of the arrogance of men who
prided themselves upon their science, and of
thetenfold more intOlerable concert Of "The
little monkey disciples" who underworld to
follow in their footsteps, trotting about,
talking very much, and knowing very lit
tie; dipping their pipe into the soap-suds OF
science, and blowing bubble in which they
see face. and say, ''rhat is Cod" but IL il

INSULATED BEDSTEADS FOR RHECMA-
TIsM.-Dr. Wagenhols, of Columbus, Ohio,
recently read an article before a medical So
ciety, in which he stated that three years
ago he was saverely afflicted with rheuma-
fish i'm ankle and knee joints. He treated
himself i'm the ordinary allopathic manner,
with alkalies, opiates, etc, and was unable
to leave his bed for three months, and did not
wholly recover till the next summer. The
next wiDter he was attacked again, and con-
sidered himself fortunate-under the same
treatment-in being able 10 hobble about
with a cane in two months. The third win
ter, February, 1874. he was seized again. and
suffered more fcarfully than on either of the
previous attacks. Deprived of sleep for three
nights. he concluded, on the third morning,
TO have his bed insulated. The legs OF the
bedstead were placed in four glass tum6lers,
after which he fell into profound sleep, and
woke the next morning bathed In a profuse,
warm perspiration, and without the aid OF
drugs or anodynes. He steadily and rapidly
improved, and i'm just a week from the day
of the attack he was journeying pleasantly To
Cincinnati without any ache or soreness
about him. If this treatment is so eificaciouS
it certainly ought TO become more generally
known. DIR. Wagenhols says his own expert
ence is fully corroborated by communica-
tions in his possession from various gentle
men of worth and eminence in their profess
sion,

THE POWER OF DRY SAND.-According't TO
NJ. Beaudemoulin, If quantity of dry sand
be placed in a box of thin sheet iron, or even
in a canvas bag, and subjected TO a slight
compression, IL forms a mass capable Of re-
sisting a pressure of fully sixty tons, with
out breaking or even straining the envelope.
The sand, however, remains perfectly divisi-
BILE, so that if small hole be made in the
box or bag it will flow slowly, and with so
little force that even a small piece of paper
pasted over the opening will check the flow
even with the sixty tons weight upon it.
NJ. Beaudemouline thinks this discovery
may be utilized for building purposes, since
the filed boxes need merely be held in place
by a framework; while being very thick,
against variations of temperature. Such
walls, moreover, would be hreproof. IL Is
also suggested that for lowering heavy build
ings, or even entire buildings which, by a
change of street levels have been left too high
above the roadway, the sandbags could be
placed beneath, and their contents allowed
gradually to escape, thus letting the load
slowly settle down.
