operators sent the electric Huii rushing
into the mine. Suddenly a cloud of wa.
ter turned into white spray shot up just
of Hallett's Point. This was followed
by a cloud of black smoke, rocks and
lumber, and AZ the same time a heavy
shock ran through the ground and gave
one impression, being lifted about two
inches. The sound Of the explosion was
not loud, but low, rumbling and deep.
A cloud of yellow smoke followed the
rocks and ia ten seconds the water had
become again level and no traces were
lefl but a large yellow space caused by
the mud aud other substances thrown
up at the works
1t a found that the cofferdam which
surrounded the shat was entirely gone.
A small house which stood close By the
shaft was thrown a distance Of ten feet,
but all other buildings we're just as be-
fore the explosion.
The affair was a complete success, and
the whole reef was blown up, The tide
has been materially changed by the ex.
plosion, aud now the currents set d.
rectly on Big and Little Mill Rocks.
They will have to be exploded next.
Wm. L. Dodge having addressed a
long letter to General Newton on his
unnecessary dissertation Of the Sabbath,
and intimating that he was making a
public show of the explosion, General
Newton forwarded the following reply:
HALtEr's PoISr, September %.

you dated September 22d, in which you

lType-writer.

Scientific Americana
A Russian inventor, NJ. Alissoff,
Of st. Petersburg, shows a type
writer which for excellence and me-
chanical structure, cleanliness Of
impression and ability to do priut-
ing in different characters, leaves
the American typewriter far be-
hind. 1t cannot be made to work
nearly as fast, however, as its Amer
lean rival and as speed is what
most people see in such a machine,
it is doubtful if it viii ever come
into extensive use. NJ. Alissof says
that he first turned his attention to
making a machine for speed, but
finding by observation that few men
can think faster than they can write
with pen or pencil, he concluded
that such an invention was not what
was needed, but something that
would make as accurate and legible
copy as printed page. In this un-
dertaking he has succeeded. His
machine writes in the Russian and
English characters, makes capitals,
small capitals, figures, signs, pune
tuation points, and all the French
accents. As the types are movable.
it can be arranged to print Greek
Hebrew, or any other written Ian
guage. The manner Of working il
is to move a lever Cd a dial to tn,
letter desired, and make the impress
sion with the foot upon a pedal
The speed is about that Of ordinarl
writing. VI. Alissoff also exhibit
an invention for photo-lithograph
ing music. The slaves, notes anC
signs, printed on thin paper, ar.
kept in small boxes, from whicl
they are taken and pasted upon
large plate Of glass, regularity bein.
secured by lines on cardboard at tn
back Of the pane. Thus the CON
position is built up much more RAP
idly than could be done with type:
A negative is then taken Of an
size desired-the light passin
through the glass-and when tran.
ferred to stone, the printing is don
by the usual process.

showing that the doctrine Of evolu-
ton did not mean that all the forms
and all the species of animal life
had developed in regular progress
sion. from lower to higher, under
the conditions Of ordinary natural
law: as there are, for example, ex-
listing species of fish, the remains
of which are found in those early
geological formations in which liy-
ing organizations make their first
appearance. He showed the limits
and notifications of research in
natural history and the geological
record, explaining also how OAR
WINS doctrine of the Survival Of.
the Fittest' bore upon vital changes
and enduring orders. But many
types of animal life now exist Of
which no traces are found in the
older remains, while in these re-
mains many forms not now in exis-
tenee are found. He proceeded to
dilate upon those facts of nature
which are not fully demonstrative
of the doctrine of evolution, but
must exist if it be true, and if they
do exist are strongly in favor of it
In our times mammals, birds and
reptiles are separated by wide
differences or absolute breaks from
each other; and if it could be
shown that this state of things
always existed, it would be fatal to
the doctrine of evolution; but if
intermediate forms can be found,
it is favorable to evolution, though
not certain proofs Of its soundness.
The Professor then proceeded to
describe the fossil evidences of the
existence, in the jurassic period, of
creature which was an anatomi-
cal cross between a reptile and a
bird, and which filled up the inter-
val between them. At considerable
length he argued that the earth had
once contained intermediate forms
between the bird and the reptile,
or, in other words, that there were
birds which could swim and fishes
which could fly. In this part of
his discourse he illustrated the ar
gument by diagrams. 1t is not
proved that all birds are developed
nom reptiles, but it is evident that
such a transition may take place.
At this point Professor Huxley
abruptly closed his lecture, and was
greeted with slight applause.

H L FEVER,
Maw Ils Poisson creeps Over q cll,

How Its Poison Creeps over a city.
We quote the following statement,
lately made by DR.. Elisha Harris, of
New York, who is an excellent authority:
The death rate in yellow fever is from
Is to 50 per cent. 1t was 80 per cent. in
Shreveport, and 80 per cent. in Memphis.
In the New Orleans epidemics it has
usually been about rs per cent. Balti-
more is much more secure against a vel
low fever epidemic than New York is, for
there the great population live on high
ground, and the disease will not travel
up the steep hills Of Baltimore. 1t will
be more likely TO travel along the coast,
and should the coming winter be a mild
one in the South, we may look for yellow
fever in the spring.
The true nature Of the poison has not
yet been ascertained, and cannot be
until more scientific progress has been
made. The time will doubtless come
when we shall be enabled to see the
enemy, and fully understand how it
effects its work. The disease does not
travel through the air, as many used TO
think. 1t is a thing that creeps on the
ground. II travels on a level or down a
decline much faster than il aseends
This has been fully demonstrated by the
examination OF the progress Of cpl.
denies, particularly the enc which
passed through this city in 1922. 1t be.
gan at the foot Of Rector street, on the
North river, where the poison had been
deposited from a sailors luggage. 1t
Travelled slowly up Rector street, which
is pretty steep. Coming to Broadway, it
branched out in both directions, and
then went rapidly down the streets lead.
ing toward New and Broad streets. At
the same time it was spreading up and
down, and at one time the fence that was
put up to arrest its progress inclosed the
city hall and the park. All the merchants
and bankers moved up to Greenwich
Village, which is now the n%eighborhoed
OF Ninth avenue and Twenty-third street
Some positively declined to go outside
the enclosure, and many Of the obstinate
oues lost their lives as the result Of their
folly. The poison was p%ropogated on an
average of about fifty feet each day, and
oyerspresd nearly the whole city. AS
said before, the poison goes up hill with
apparent difficulty, and, in its march
through the city, it never went over the
houses, but alwcys round them. Persons
living in the upper stories Of tall houses
would, therefore, not be likely TO 90 az
fected if they remained in their domicili
all the time.
Absolute cleanliness is the best protec
ton. Bathing all over once or twice
every day, and putting on clean clothiDI
every time, securing, sweeping, scrub
bling, ETC., everything that could keel
the body and it's surroundings clean
would be the course to pursue. Peopl,
should keep their spirits up, and tn
pores Of the skin open. Care should b.
taken TO keep the dwelling and out
houses dry BY the use Of lime, and nj
one should venture out in the night al
when yellow fever is around.

knocked directly across the track
Some ffty.three cars passed over

a pile-driyer that was at work, and
his head lying on top Of the pile
for a minute or Two, the ponderous
hammer descended, striking him
on the cheek, bruising his face
somewhat.
The shock rolled him into the
