SCIENCE
A Theory Of the Storms.

The Graphic has the following letter from
Ann Arbor. Mich: For nearly two months
reports of great and disastrous inundatlons
have been coming in from various extended
districts Of Europe and America, and latter
" from Africa and Asia. In Southern
France there has been the greatest destruc-
ton of property and life !; many large tracts
Of land in England-as in Somerset. Wits,
Gloucester, Leicestershire-are now sub
merged: in South Wales the loss Of life and
property nave been enormous; violent
storms have ragged in South America, and in
our Western States acres upon acres OF pas
ture 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 year, in Cali
fornia. where rain in June is an anomaly,
the water has fallen in overwhelming tor
rents 1t seems as though universal del
uge were imminent. Heavy deposits OF
rain, hail, and snow have caused the floods,
| and in ordinary circumstances, though
storms are rightly supposed to be due main
" to local causes, yet when these phenomena
simultaneously become so general in places
widely sundered, it is a logical necessity to
seek for some general cause Of them all.
That the size and distribution of the solar
spots have an electromagnetic effect on the
earth and are connected with the occurrence
of storms other than magnetic storms is
now fully known, but observations made by
Father Secchi during the years lS7l-7l
have cast still further light on this point BY
lshowing that the size of the sun is always
the same, but that it varies in such way
that when the solar diameter has minimum
values the number Of spots and protuber
ances are at their maximum. During vlo
lent solar storm, when jets of incandescen
hydrogen ninety or hundred Thousand
miles in length are darting toward tn
earth, the solar diameter is less than during
periods of comparative calm. According t
Captain Ericsson, the permanent contraction
of the suns diameter is 1901 feet ever
. day. but the temporary fluctuations or
; vastly greater than this, and capable Of pro
, lucing terrestrial storms proportionally
their activity The dynamic activity of tn
sun is greatest when the diameter is tn
smallest and vice versa. Of late there hav
been noticed greater and more rapid fiuctt
a ations than at any time since Father Secchi
3 announcement was made; spectroscopic OF
: servations made here show this in q remark,
: BILE degree. The most plausible theory
f the terrestrial storms am able to post
d that they are caused by unusual electr
e magnetic and thermometric condition
. caused by these unusually active and rap
h changes in the sun. a.

most brilliant light has been produced
by London chemist by very simple meth
Cd. He finds that, when common saltpetre
or nitrate of potassium is heated to a tenn
perature somewhat beyond the point Of fus-
ion in hard glass tube or porcelain cap
sule mounted over spirit lamp, and small
pieces of sulphur are then introduced, a
defagration ensues, accompanied by the
emission of powerful white light, which is
maintained as long as any of the sulphur
remains floating as a motion globule in the
fluid nitrate The cost Of this light is, Of
course, very trifiing, both ingredients being
exceedingly cheap. Thus, one ounce o.
nitre melted AMI fed with sulphur at thu
rate of eight or ten grains at time, vii
keep up brilliant light for about ten min
utes, at an expense for materials Of on

REMOVING TAN AND FREcKLEs.-M. II.
Siam, Iowa. We have several times pub
lished remedies for removing tan and freck-
les, but they are still called for. We pub
lish them once more, in the hope that those
who desire to use them will preserve them
for future reference. For tan, take Of the
finest pale honey four ounces (avoirdupois)
the purest Of glycerine one ounce, and unite
by q gentle heat, and when cold add rectified
spirits one fluid ounce, essence OF amber
girls six drops. If the tan is deep ano
dark add dram and half of pure citrit
acid. For freckles. take bichloride of mer
curry, six grains (avoirdupois); pure hydro
chloric acid (of specie gravity Of l.l6.

Gervais should recognize faithfully voice |
he had heard but once. The Parliament, |
therefore, determined to prove him by
bringing into his presence successfully all
the prisoners in the Conciergerie, Martel
among the rest. If, after hearing them
speak, the blind man spontaneously and
without once hesitating should recognize
the voice, which had struck him SO power
fully, this evidence, united to what they
already had, should be held conclusive
Christmas eve. was pitched upon for this ex-
pertinent, and for good reasons. To have
brought up the prisoners together on an
ordinary day would have awakened their
suspicious; perhaps suggested to them
various stratagems, and thus left the success
of the novel experiment to chance. On
| Christmas Eve however the order excited
no surprise. as il was then customary to
bring all the prisoners of the Conciergerie
before the Parliament, which sometimes,
out of respect for the day, liberated those
who had been imprisoned for trihing OF
fences.
To bring home to the understanding OF
the witness the importance OF the state
ments he was to make, an iron clad oatn
was administered to him, which he took IN
truthful, honest manner, that left no doubt
; of his sincerity, and the trial commenced:

He grssRed Hurst by the throat

and commenced backing toward
the door. Russell seized a knife
from the table, and getting De-
tween Hurst and the door, at
tempted TO stab the young man.
Hurst received the thrust in bis
arm, and seeing that the old man
was bent on murder, drew q re
volver and warned him to stand
back. Russell did not heed the
warning, and continued to make
deadly lunges with his knife
Hurst received many of these in
the arm and shoulder. Hurst's
sister escaped from the room
during the melee, and the young
men present seemed to be par
alyzed with terror, At last
Hurst pushed his assailant back
from him and leveled his pistol
at him. His wife at this instant
spFang between the men Just
as her husbands pistol was dis
charged. The ball entered her
brain, and she fell to the floor
and expired without saying a
word. The report of the pis-
tol brought a number of per-
sons into the room. Hurst had
fallen on his knees beside his
wife's body, and after several
times f'antically appealing to
her to look up and speak to
him, he rose to his feet, and be-
fore a hand could be extended
to prevent him, shot himself
through the head, and he fell
dead beside his wife. Russell
seemed stricken dumb by the
fearful scene, and was led from
the room like q Child.
AS soon as the excitement
that followed the news Of the
tragedy could be somewhat al
layed, the bodies Of the young
married couple were removed to
the residence Of Mr.. FiIley, fol-
lowed by hundreds Of people.
