A GRAND SUCCESS.

A YEARS WORK FOR LIVE MEN,

extreme stringency of the times, the run
which this elegant and portly book is
having all over the country, is something
extraordinary. Scarcely out two months
the tenth edition is now being made.
This book is sold only by agents, and is
so cheap, beautifully illustrated, and in.
tensely thrilling from cover to cover,
that, wherever it is known it is out. the
best and most successful agents are drop
ping all else, and taking it. Agents
sales are enormous. In Pittsburc. one
sold forty-three on his first day; another
twcnty-cight in four hours another
seventy-iive in three days Country
agents report sales at almost every
house, notwithstanding the dull times.
All good judges confess this timely book
to be the best and fullest work on Boz.
DER LIFE, STRUGGLE, and ADVENTURE
ever yet published. Everybody wants
it, and all who read it are delighted.

but is sold only by agents. Active,
thorough going canvassers-male and fe-
male-'are wanted in every township.

A Honey FountaIn.

They have everything on grand
scale in California. There is hive
on the eastern slope of the San
Fernando range, in Los Angeles
county, which men have tried sew
eral times to capture, and have as
often failed. 1t is in a rift which
penetrates the rock to a depth Of
one hundred and sixty feet. The
opening is thirty feet long and sew
.enteen feet wide, with two pass
ages. The bees come and go in
solid columns about one foot in di.
ameter. Efforts have been made to
descend to the store of honey in
the rock, but the men were invaria.
bly, driven back, and one man lost
his life. The hive has been known
four years, and it is estimated that
there cannot be less than eight OF
ten tons of honey in it. A man
who lives in a cabin not far from
the spot gets more honey than his
family can use from the leakage
1t flows out of a small aperature in
the rock like a spring. He has a
honey fountain at his door.

MEMPHIS. TENN. FRIDAY EVENING JUNE 80 1876 NO

sion. This apparatus consists of
four horizontal aluminium branches,
one bearing a vertical vane polished
on one side and blackened on the
other, the whole system, which does
not exceed a mans fist in size,
being contained in a small glass
balloon. When a vacuum has been
made in the latter, the four
branhes begin to move round on a
delicate pivot, under the influence
of diffused light, and faster in
proportion to the vividness of the
latter, the rotation being in the
direction Of the polished sides GO
ing toward the black ones. OF
course if this motion is owing to
luminous rays impinging on the
vanes, there is an end of the undu-
latory theory of light, and the
opinion having been expressed, NJ.
Fizeau rose to oppose it. He said
that the existence of i'm impulsive
force in the rays of light was an
argument to be received with
the greatest circumspection. He
thought Mr.. Crookes' instrument
was a thermic apparatus, in which
the rotation should be attributed
to nothing more than, first, a Sigh
excess of temperature acquired by
the vanes over the ambient medi-
um; second, to the inequality of the
emissiye and absorbing qualities o
the two faces of each vane, one
polished and the other blackened
and, third, to the presence of a lit
tie elastic fluid in the interior, not
withstanding the vacuum made
which is never perfect. But NJ
Fizeau also made a curious expert
ment before the academy. Having
limited the rays by means of
screen, SO as to let in only a small
pencil of sunlight, which was mad,
to fall on the polished surface o
the vanes, the rotation began again
but going against the light. Thi
is really a singular phenomenon
we only regret NJ. Fizeau' did no
explain it. We hope he will do S
at a future sitting.
