ter PUSHES TO one side, the air is drawn up
to the vacuum thus created, to be forced
out again as the ship rolls to the other
side. SO powerful is the blast Of air thus
pumped out that it is to be used for sound

I'm the annals de Hygiene, Professor
Dolbeau describes his various expert
ments to ascertain whether person can
be anasthetised during sleep. He men,
tons the cases of three patients who,
while sleeping, were readily aroused by
applying small quantities of chlorotorm
at no great distance from the nostrils. In
another series of experiments, made on
seven patients, ten drops of chloroform
were poured on a napkin folded in four,
which was gradually brought into the
vicinity Of the air-passages so that all air
inspired had trayersed it, In all these
cases the patients were suddenly aroused
from their sleep, some Immediately and
only one after the eleventh inspiration.
A third group OF cases consisted of twen-
ty-nine patients. 1t was found that in ten
out of this number, that is, in more than
a third, complete an9sthesia could be in
duced without awakening them. Dexter
,ity in the mode OF procedure seemed to
have something to do with the proportion
thus obtained, as it increased progressive
ly with the number Of cases experimental
upon.

The practice of allowing boys to
spend their evenings in the street is one
OF the most ruinous, dangerous and mis-
chievous things possible. Nothing so
speedily and surely marks their course
downward. They acquire under cover of
the night an unhealthy state of mind,
vulgar and profane language, obscene
practices, criminal sentences, and law
less ana riotous bearing. Indeed, it is in
the street after nightfall that boys gener.
ally acquire the education and capacity
for becoming rowdy, dissolute, criminal
men. Parents, do YOU believe it? VIII

Lightning.

The celebrated experiment OF Benjamin
Franklin, by which he demonstrated the
identity of lightning and the common
electric spark, was performed by him in
June, 1852, at Philadelphia, Pa. Having
made small s-stick kite, he covered
it with silk handkerchief instead of pa
per, so that it would stand rain, attached
tail, etc. The upper end of the cross
had an iron point, connected by string
to the usual kite cord, which was of
hemp. To the lower end of the cord an
iron key was attached, and to that short
length OF silk ribbon, as non-conductOr,
by which the kite-string could be safely
held in the hand. On the approach of a
thunder storm he proceeded to a common
near the city and, with the assistance of
his son, sent up the Kite. Ere long the
thunder-cloud approached, the electricity
came down the kite string, and Franklin,
standing under a shed, received the cleo
trio sparks through his knuckles, which
he applied to the key, and charged his
Leyden jar by putting its conductor in con-
tact with the key. The rain then fell,
which improved the conductivity of the
kite cord, and the electricity appeared in
increased quantity.
The news of this wonderful experiment.
rapidly spread over the world, and was
extensively repeated. In France, Prof.
Romas made kite seven feet high, with a
fine wire interviewer in the string. The
kite was raised $50 feet, and is alleged to
have Welded flashes Of electric fire ten
feet in length In St Petersburgh, Prof.
Richman, while attempting to repeat
Franklin's experiment, received so heavy
charge OF electricity that he fell dead

Relies Of the Cave.DWellers.

IN the spring of 1874, an energetic ex.
ploration of the Thayugen Cave, near
Schafihauscn, was conducted by Herr
Merck, a young and enthusiastic natural
ist. The result OF his researches have been
communicated to the Society Of Antigua
ries at Zurich in an essay, which has
lately been translated into English, Dur
ing the exploration, which occupied seven
weeks, thirty hundred weight OF bones
were removed from the cave. From these
remains twenty-five different species have
been determined with certainty--oniy two
of which, the fox and the raven, are still
inhabitants of the district. Remains of
$50 reindeer were found in the collection,
but only single human bone was dis
covered in the whole mass. 1t Is notable
that every bone likely to contain marrow
had been broken in order to extract the
substance. Among the relics of human
workmanship recovered were ~ GOO flint
flakes, and about dozen drawings on
reindeer antlcrs and on Ignite. The best
work in this gallery of prehistoric art was
a free and fair sketch Of a reindeer en-
graved upon piece of an antler.
