Physicians, who certainly ought to be
the best judges of such matters, declare
that wholesome stimulation is not only
desirable but essential in many instances.
Whenever temporary good effects OF \
sound stimulent is confirmed and rendered
permanent, as in the case of Hostetter's 8

Alternative principles combined with it. it
becomes infinitely more efficacious as a
renovant of physical energy and q correct
i've of those conditions of the body which
invite disease. The Bitfers have received
the emphatic sanction of medical men
who have observed the effect of that pop

weakness. nervousness, dyspepsia, con-
stipation. inactivity Of the liver, malarious
levers and many other disorders. It's basis

EYEs.-Tn the August number of the
Sanitarian we find list of rules tor tho
care Of the eyes which are worth pre-
serving.
When writing, reading, drawing, sew

The room is comfortably cool, and the
feet warm;
There is nothing tight about the neck;
There is plenty of light without daz-
zling the eyes;
The sun does not shine directly on
the object we are at work upon;
The light does not come from in
front, it is best when it comes over the
left shoulder; .
The head is not very much bent oyer
the work;
The page is nearly perpendicular to
the line of sight; that is, that the eye is
nearly opposite the middle of the page,

A rich yein Of silver orc has been ais

A rich vein of silver ore has been dis
covered in Pittsfeld. Merrimac county.
New Hampshire. The ore is galena,
carrying abont $50 silver to the ton, be-
sides copper and zinc. A shaft is now
being sunk on the vein, and smelling
works are nearly finished for the reduc.
ton Of the ore. The mining interests of
New Hampshire promise to become of
some importance, as numerous paying
ssfinds'' have recently been reported of
gold quartz and eilver-hearing galena IN
different parts of the State. An assay
ofthe Pittsfield ore gave about $50 in
silver and $50 IN lead TO the ton. New
York parties have houeht the property,
and are actively at work upon it, san
guine of success.

CALCULATING DATEs.-In order to
find out the day of the week upon which
any event fell one hundred years ago,
just count forward two days from the
day of the week upon which the centen-
NAL anniversary falls. Thus The
Fourth of July, 1876, tails on Tuesday;
the Fourth of .Tnly, 1776. fell on Thurs
day. The rule is applicable to dates in
the eighteenth century after '52, when
the new calendar was adopted by Eng
land and her colonies.

said 10 him that he had also examined the
Question. and that his school was ag ainst

WeiGhing q Beam Of Light.

Mr.. CrOOkes' most Startling discovery of
how to weigh beam of light appears to
have originated somewhat in this way:
Deslrous of weighing some small quantity
OF substance without those disturbances
insepsrsble from the operation a. ordinarily
conducted, Mr.. CroOkes made arrangements
to accomplish the weighing in . vacuum,
aud was surpri ed to fnd that when light
was approached to the exhausted receiver,
9 new set of disturbing influences were
cslled into play, and that the &C.
%odd M, cs"okes va. At
to work to determine the general
conditions and intensity of this new
force. which resulted in the absolute knowl.
edge that the beam of light has not only
weight, but that it is possible to weigh it,
The apparatus for weighing the beam of
light consisted of IN exhausted glass cham
Der in the form of horizontal cross, with
arms of circuler croes section. Inside the
larger arm il glass fibre maintained in .
uniform state Of tension by Q spiral spring
1t one end, and by glass stopper at the
other end, which stopper is capable of rota-
ten. The shorter arm of the cross contains
in like manner . stOutsr fibre beam of
glass secured ct the point of crossing to the
longitudinal or t0rson fibre, and having at
one extremity pith surface of two square
inches area, and at the other end q little
ouP AAA5luO LILO Cu0uUV1 luCIO 10 y lOOS0
particle of iron weighing one-hundredth
OF . grain, and outside the stopper
is . counter recording the number of
tOrsiOns or turns the glass fibre makes
Now, the method of procedure is as follows:
The position of q dos OF light from the little
mirror placed at the intersection of the two
glass fibr-s having been noted, the little
iron weight is lifted by means Of q magnet,
and placed in the cup. which. when thus
weighted, descends. TOrsiOn is then ap-
piled to the glass fibre until the beam is
lifted, and the dot of light returns to it's
former position. This may b. called the
z,rO OF the machine. This exact amount of
torsion having been determined, and it's
: quiva'ent in We ght ascertained. the tor
sion is removed, and the ray OF light is then
made to fall on the disc, which causes q de-
pre- scion of the glass beam. as if it was
weighted by tangible substance. The
of the absolute pressure of the
suns radiation on square foot of the |
Garth, when carried out to the square mile,
gives force Of fifty seven tons.
