SCIENTIFIC.

Light u serred IN Grinding Hard
Stones.-At the agate polishing estab-
lishment in Oldenburg, a phenomenon
has been observed fer tho past century
that has as yet, perhaps, attracted too
little attention from scientific men.
Under very powerful friction, such as
can only be produced by the machinery
at those works, hard stones become
spiendidly luminous and transparent
throughout. In this establishment the
axis of an undershot water-wheel
reaches into the grinding-rOo where
four or five grind-stones rotate verti-
cally over each is brought gutter, SO
that constant small stream of water
pours upon the stone. The grind
stones themselves are entirely faultless
They are about five feet in diameter,
and make three revolutions in a second
so that the grinding surface that pas
ses the objectpressed against it amounts
to thirty-twO English miles per hour.
When grinding, the workman lies on
his belly, his chest on semicylindrical
followed tool, his feet stretched out be-
hind, braced against post fixed in the
floor. With both hands he presses the
stone to be polished firmly against the
grindstone, bringing his whole weight
to bear upon it. The muscular strength
brought to bear is very great, and the
work performed with intermissiOns of
equal times of rest and work. Some ex-
periments were made in this workshop
by Noggerath in broad daylight. He
observed that as long as a stone of the
hardness of quartz was pressed against
the revolving grindstOne, there was
produced an intense red light, which
at the same time radiated around the
object and emitted numerous sparks.
This experience was the same with all
hard stones, which appear almost like
red hot iron, and it really looks as if
the hands must be severely burnt. All
the stones became warm in grinding,
but not very hot. ChalcedOny gave
magnificent fiery red light; chrysOprase
a little red light rock crystal beau
tiful rose red; coralline a superb red
light; the color being evidently in
creased by the natural hue of the stone.
Amethyst give pale violet, while nu-
merOus Opaque stones gave no light at
all.

SAT- and Insects Eggs.-Says Penn
sylyania correspondent Observation
leads me to believe that eggs, whether
hens eggs or the eggs of insects, after
having absorbed salt, will no longer
hatch out. | have used salt on garden
beds to destroy eggs of insects, and |
have found by so doing 1 have had less
of certain kinds of insects to deal with
afterward. Supposing this theory to be
true, might not the farmers in the West,
by sowing salt on their land DESTROY the
eggs of grasshoppers and perhaps other
insects in numbers sufficient to do some
good, as to small lots. This would of
course be impractical on a large scale,
or where salt would be too dear or scarce.
l make this suggestion simply to call
forth discussion, and would like to read
the opinions of others on the same sub
ject. By bringing our ideas to light,
may it not be possible for us, i'm the day
of invention and Improvement, to find
out partial remedy at least against the
ravages ofthis destroying insect. l said
L believed that eggs which had absorbed
salt will no longer hatch out. viii

st. Nicholas for November.

St. Nicholas begins its third volume
with telling mum ber--fresh, bright, var
led, healthy. 1t contains some twenty
FIVE interesting contributions; it gives US
articles from more than dozen of the
hest writers in the country. In the ex-
single number it could hardly be sur
passed. 1t crowds strong story by one
fine writer with an instructive sketch or
dainty poem by another. From Mr..
Books's serial, "The Boy Emigrants'-
which is just begun and promises an
amazing store of adVenture-to the
rhyme of Little Dutch Gretchen" with
its quaint little picture, it would be
hard to find a single dull or common
place article. There are poems by Mrs.
Dodge, Lucy Larcom and Celia Thax-
ter, stories by j. T. Trowbridge, Harriet
Prescott. Spofford, Susan Coolidge, Abby
s. Alger; and sketches by Rebecca
Harding Davis and Donald g. Mitchell.
Then, too, the talk about "Ailigators," +"
the bit of Botany in GLOW Plants Grow
from Seeds" the funny poems of "Ten
Little Country Boys" and "The Reform
err" with their illustrations, and lastly,
the paper on the collection of Postage
Stamps-all these will surely interest
any boy or girl who reads them; while
just as surely will the "Very Little
Folks" be delighted with Christina G.
Rossetti's alphabet from England"
with its rollicking pictures by II. L.
Stephens.
And the artistic merit of the number
is equal TO the literary. The illustra-
tions generally are very beautiful: the
frontispiece-a reproduction of Sir josh
ua Reynolds's portrait of Penelope
Boothby"-is wonderfully fine. Among
the most notable of the other pictures
are the illustrations to Mr.. Brooks's
serial by Thomas Moran and w. L.
Sheppard, and the very comical draw
ings by Frank Beard.
Jack-in-the- Pulpit, The Letter -Bov
and the Riddle Box bring with them, as
usual, generous fund of amusement.
and altogether, the November number of
st. Nicholas is one of the very best
issues of this unequaled magazine for
children.

The Lay of a Ticket.

When a man is making a run for any
Office (fnr instance, the State Senate or
House of Representatives,) for which
there are more than one candidate on
the same ticket, he should try and fix il
so as not to have his name printed last
on the list. For when voter has q
preference for candidate on the oppos-
ition ticket, and wishes to do some
scratching-having no particular choice
az to whom he will sacri6ce-he is Dret-
ty certain, as a matter of convenience.
to select the last man on the list of his
ticket as the victim. To illustrate: In
end of the list of Democratic candidates
for the Senate and received the sm allest
votes; Kleinschmidt was the last on the
Republican side, and received the small
eat vote. Garrison was the last on the
list of Democratic candidates for the
House, and received only little more
than an average vote, notw outstanding
the severe scratching of ofGeghan. Greene,
and Maloney, who were especially un-
popular, for reasons which need not
now be stated. On the other hand,
Goebel, last on the Republican list, re-
ceived the lowest vote. So it seems that,
everything else being equal, the last
man on the list has the poorest chance.
Under ordinary circumstances the first
on the lists stand the next poorest show
though the figures on the majority of
those on the respective lists of the last
election, owing to the popularity of the
candidates themselves, wonld seem TO
indicate the reverse of this proposition.
But. generally speaking, the safest place
for candidate, going on the strength of
his party ticket alone, and going in com
pany with Others, is to get himself smug-
gled in amidst his companions, and not
be exposed on the outside of the crowd. -

Alaska Improving.

Alaska is geographical enigma.
When first purchased the country was so
described as to make Americans think
they had gained grand northern Ell
Dorado. This delightful delusion,
however, they were not permitted to en-
tertain long without having their faith
subjected to very sore trial. In fact,
accounts were soon published concern
ing the character and resources of the
"new purchase" so unfavorable as to
convince many that the money paid for
the land had been pretty much thrown
away. This conclusion was about as
erroneous as the first impression, and it
is good while now since the numerous
reports on the country made by agents
of the government and published as its
expense, enabled every one who desired
accurate information concerning Alaska
to obtain it. At least, many of us have
been accustomed TO think SO for some
time. We had ceased to look for any
new revelations, either of Alaska bar
renness and poverty, or of Alaskan fer
ility and riches. But here comes a
volunteer explorer of the country with
amazing accounts of treasures undream
ed of heretofore. We have not seen
his statement, but New York contem-
porary gives some account of it. Ac-
cording to this last reporter, the inter
ior of Alaska, hitherto supposed to be
"a moist, uncomfortable region of fog,
ice and snow" is perfect paradise for
the sportsman. The presence of the
many varieties of animals mentioned
seems to imply certain familiar attrac-
tions of landscapes and scenery. Gold
also is said to abound, or more strictly
speaking, it is found in ''paying quanti-
tles," a statement at once sufficiently def
mite and sufficiently vague to excite the
most pleasing hopes in millions of ad-
venturous hearts. There is thus some
promises that, after all, we have got an
Ell Dorado in getting Alaska.

A Western Practical Joke.

A Chicago paper of a recent date says:
Day. the handsome dramatic critic of
the Chicago Evening Jaurnal." spent
Sunday at Spring Lake with two friends.
It seems that his companions had visi-
ted the Venice of America before, and
they were loud in their praisee of the
manner in which the negro attendant,
Erred" administered the baths. So it
was not remarkable, soon after the arri-
val of the trio, to see Day going down
to the bath house He was closely fol
lowed by the two friends, who, "a soon
as Day was assigned to bathroom,
drew the darkey to one side, slipped a
fifty-cent scrip into his hand. and in
struc;ed him to the effect that Day was
Just out of an inebriate asylum at Chi
cago, and that the only hope of his re
covery was the proper administration of
a mineral bath; that they wanted him
completely exhausted, &C.; and if ever
he worked on a man they wanted him
to work on this one; no matter what the
bill was they wonld stand the expense.
With other parting injnnetons Fred
hastened to the bathroom of the unfor-
inmate Day, and soon the listening
friends outside heard the slash of the
water and tn. "slap, slap, crack, crack
of the palm and fist of the brawny At
rican upon the flesh of the victim, ac-
companied by gumblings and curses
smothered in magnetic mineral water
which were followed by the voice of the
powerful darkey-"Jus yon be qniei
dar. Use got orde's on dis ere bath
Tn teacher, tell you" And then
would follow another terrific series oI
thnds and slaps on the body of the al
ready hale exhausted and infuriated
man. Then in his breathing spell:
would come IN the voice of the darkey
"Tell You what Ills, boss, this we're mig
ger haint been round dis slanghterhoust
no seven years for muffin" Slosh, slosh
slap. Finally they suhsided, and tbs
listeners slid back TO the hotel. Day,
wreck soon dragged into the office and
mp to the clerks desk, and this inquiry
came forth: "Does that black rasca
nse every one tina, way?" The clerh
was not given time to reply, for th'
shouts of the crowd that were in thu
| joke didn't admit of that. The state o
affairs soon dawned on Day, and he call
ed for the cigar boy and insisted that al
should smoke twenty-five centers. JUS
then the gentle voice of Fred was heart
in the distance. "T tell you, Clam,
wa'amed that fellar."
