The London and Provincial Illustrated
Newspaper says; One would hardly
think that the fragrant violet and the
bright-coloredi iris would ever be utilized
in commerce, but it seems that an Italian
chemist has just found out that they may
be put to some other purpose than that
of gladdeniug the eye and refreshing the
nose. They yield. it appears, very
fine blue color, and this is 50 sensitive to
exterior influences as to render it OF con-
siderable value to the analytical chemist.
Most people know that one of the best
and most delicate tests employed by
chemists to ascertain whether a solution
is acid or not is to dip into it piece of
blue litmus paper, which at once reddens
if the least trace of acidity exists. In
like manner, the Redeemed litmus paper
may be employed in searching for aka
lies, for the paper returns to blue tint
on coming in contrast with these. Tue
coloring principle Of the violet and iris
is found to be more delicate still than
litmus, aad, for this reason, we may ex-
pect soon to see phyllocyanin-for SO the

LETTING THE OLD CAT DIE.

Her bright hair foated to and frol
Her little red dress flashed BY,
But the lovellest thing of al, ! thought,
Was the CLEAN of her laughing eye:
Swinging and swaying back and forth,
Withe rose-liRht in her face,
She seemed like q bird and flower in one,
And the forest her native place.
.ssteady! III sendly ou up my child"
But she stopped me with cry;
eco way! 20 way! Don't touch me, please
Pm letting the oldcat die!"
"You letting him die!" cried, aghast-
"Why, where's the cat, my dearl".
And 10! the laughter that filled the woodsl
Was thing for the birds to hear.
.sWhy don't yAu know" said the little maid,
The fitting, beautiful elf;
"That we call it letting the old cat die
DWhen the swing stops all ofitself?"
Then swinging and swinging, and looking back
With the merriest look in her eye,
She babe me "good- day, !" and left her alone.

compressed air, has an ordinary faucet with
An nipple not much larger than that Of gas
burner, though the orifce is considerably
greater. From this. when the air is turned
on, . strong jet Of air is thrown cut, and
this will sustain, in the surrounding air,
ball or sphere Of wool, glass, metal or rub-
Der without any other means Of support.
So far, although the sphere is suspended by
invisible means, there is nothing surprising
when the jet of air is elected ie . verticle
direction upward, But the sphere is still
kept in state of suspension in the air, whom
the jet is thrown out at an angle Of thirty,
forty, or forty five degrees, sometimes Sta.
tionary, but with o gentle, ocilatory motion,
sometimes rotating slowly, and sometimes
revolving with great rapidly. These var
iations are mainly under the control of the
operator One would think that in order to
Sustain the ball the air jetwould have to i'm
pinge upon it squarely perpendicular to the
center of the mass, but this is not the case.
The most curious phases Of the phenomeu-
en- are reen when the air,jet strikes the
ball obliquely, to the right or left, or
above or below the center, The axis Of
rotation is constantly shifting,so that If it
starts at right sngles to the jet Of air it
will gradually move around until the axis
comes within about twenty-five degrees
of being in the same line or plane with
the aer-jet itself, There is something in
all this that strikingly reminds ametusr
astronomers of the obliquity of ecliptic,
the vibratory motion of the earth's axis,
and the procession of the equinoxes.
But perhaps the most interesting phase Of
the phenomenon is observable when .
large hollow ruhher hall ia used. than "a
the rotation of the ball, suspended in the
air, becomes more and more rapid, the
ball changes from its sphericle form, be-
form of an oblate spheroid, fsttened 1t the
poles and protuberant at the equator, just
as our earth is shown to be by astronomers
and PHI sicists. Ledger.

THE AMERICAN MONTE cRlSTO.

Correspondence Of the Baltimore American.).
Mr.. Tweed was so large and coarse in his
personal appearance that he hardly obtained
credit for his luxurious, and, in some res
poets, thoroughly arisocratic tastes. The
neighborhood of Greenwich is full Of stories
and anecdotes relating to his personal habits
and magnificent expenditures, and so wor-
SHIPPED was he for his grandeur, and the
princely way in which he distributed lar
gesse on occasions, and paid his workmen
and trades people, that it is confidently
stated not II man could be found in the
vicinity who would give information in
regard to him, even if tempted by the offer
of reward.
There is strong conviction in the minds
of many that he has visited Greenwich since
his escape from the weak hands Of the
officials in New York, and knowing smile
irradiates their countenances when they
allude to that persuasive power which made
his keepers as clay in his hands, and able
to come and 60 at his pleasure

several to move steadily up into the harbor
near his house all night it lay close in
shore. and about / p. M. the signal foated
out from the waich-tower. Every one be-

Tweed visited his summer home that night,

in prison. but not man could be found who
would tell.
