Tanning by Electricity.

A novel application Of electricity in
the industrial arts has recently been
made, whereby leather may he more
quickly tanned. II is stated that il an
electric current Is passed through a solu-
tion Of tannin in a reservoir, the bottom
Of which is one pole, while the other is
at the surface Of the liquid, and if skins
he interposed during the passage Of the
current, molecular transmission of tan
min from one pole to the other takes
place. In its passage the tannin thus
encounters the skins, which are pene.
trated by it much more quickly than by
the ordinary soaking process. Evidence
that the current Is an active agent in ac-
complishing this result appears in the
fact that the skins nearest the positive
pole are always penetrated first. The
following Is brief description of the ap-
paratus: The bottom Of the vessel or
tank Is formed Of a plate or series of
plates of retort-charcoal. A copper wire
surreundedlwith gutta.percha Is fastened
to this bottom, and rises along the verti-
cal side. The upper surface is covered
with a sheet Of zinc, to which negative
pole is fitted. The two poles are in con-
nection with q pile OF magneto-electric
machine. The skins arranged in the
reservoir alternately, with hyen Of baEk

estate, $i6,9S7 SIS. The government
holds in trust for these tribes about S.
10000. Their commen schools number
200, with an aggregate attendance of
5000. The investments of the Chero-
KEGS are about $3,000, 900, the annual in
terest of which is applied as follows
Fifty per cent. TO the support of the gov
ernment, thirty-fve per cent. TO general
school purposes, and fifteen per cent. to
the orphans fund. The citizen popula-
ton numbers about 10000, of which
there are 1850 native Cherokees. They
have $3.50 acres in cultivation, and
own 1915 horses, and Al $50 cattle
They have twenty two saw mills, twenty
two stores, sixty-fve smith shops, sew
enty.fve day schools, one orphan school,
one female high school, and one male
high school. These schools have an ag-
gregate attendance of 1890. The Chero-
KEGS have lived under written consti-
tuition fifty years, and have expended
during the past year about $4,000 for
school purposes.

Currents In the Living Eye.

The existence ofsa continuous though
sluggish, current in the eye, flowing
from behind forwards, has been demon
strated by DIR. Max Knies. The follow
ing was the method of investigation pur
sued: A minute quantity OF solution
Of potassic ferrocyanide was introduced
into the posterior part of the vitreous
humor. After the 'apee Of from one to
four hours the animal was decapitated,
and the eyeball soaked in solution of
ferric chloride; it was then hardened in
alcohol, and subjected to microscopic ex-
animation. The distribution of the pre-
cipilate Of Prussian blue furnished evil
dence of the displacement of the par
ticles of ferrocyanide during life, and
betrayed the paths along which il had
Travelled. The current mentioned above
was found to exist in the interior of the
lens as well as in the vitreous, the fluid
required 10 nOurish the former percolat-
ing through the latter, and thus follow
ing the same course as the blood in the
hyaloid artery of the fetus. The aque-
Gus humor consists partly of transuda-
tion from the ciliary body, partly of
liquid which has made its way through
the lens and vitreous. 1t serves TO nour-
ish the cornea. The nutrient fluid,
whether in the vitreous, in the lens, or
in the cornea, is conveyed along the in
tercellular substance and the author is
inclined to extend this proposition to
all the tissues of the body, regarding the
interstital substance everywhere as the
channel along which the nutrient juices
are conveyed to the corpuscular elements
of parenchyma or connective tissue.

Herald, that in this centennial year the
republican party should have hit upon
thirteen candidates for the presidency.

relieved by it. II is said to cure the
bite Of rattlesnake, and to relieve
erysipelas.
For CRoUP.-Take knife or crater,

teaspoonful Of alum mix il with about
twice its quantity of sugar, to make it
palatable, and administer II AZ quickly as
possible. Its effects will be truly magi-
cal, as almost instantaneous relief will
be afforded.
IcING FOR CAKE can be made very
easily by merely mixing the white Of
eggs with sugar and adding to each egg
one teaspoonful of ice-cold water. This
takes more sugar than when the egg is
beaten to froth, but II will keep soft
for some days. To make tho icing very
thick, it must be put on in two or three
layers, as otherwise IL will keep thick on
the edges Of the loaf and thin on the top.
It will not pile up like old-fashioned
icing.
CHICKEN JEI.LY.--Boil pair of chick
ems until you can pull the meat from
the bones remove all the meat and al
low the bones to boil half an hour
longer; stand this in cool place and it
will become jellied; the next day cut
the meat into small pieces, melt the jelly
and throw it in; then add two table
spoonfuls Of Worcestershire sauce, two of
walnut sauce, enc tablespoonful of salt,
a pinch of powdered mace, cloves, and
allspice slice ten hard boiled eggs and
two lemons, line large bowl, or form,
with these slices, then pour in the mix
ture and let 1t stand in cool place (but
not to freeze). The water should Just
cover the chickens when put to boil.
This is very ornamental dish, and will
keep for long while.

Revivals and Evangelists.

DR.. Holland, in an article in Scribner
for April, speaks good word for Moody
and Sankey and their methods, but con-
d ms the ordinary itin ant "evangc-
lists" He says: There is class of evan
gelists who go from church TO church, of
whom most clergymen are afraid; and
their fears are thoroughly well grounded.
There arises, we Il say, a strong reli-
gious interest in church. Everything
seems favorable to what is called "a re-
vival." Some well-meaning member
thinks that if Mr.. Bedlow coulo only
come and help the fatigued pastor, won
derful results would follow. The pasto
does not wish to stand in the way-is
suspicious that he has unworthy preju-
dices against Mr.. Bedlow-tries TO over
come them, and Mr.. Bedlow appears.
But Mr.. Bedlow utterly ignores the con-
dition of the church, and, instead of sem
sitively apprehending il and adapting
himself to the line of influences already in
progress, arrests everything by an at
tempt TO start anew, and carry on opera
tions by his own patent method. The
first movement is to get the pastor and
tne pdktOt WIG dliu All thU Fiohihths
members upon their knees, in a confess
sion that they have been all wrong-mis.
erably unfaithful to their duties and
their trust. This is the first step, and, of
course, it establishes Mr.. Bedlow in the
supreme position, which is precisely what
he deems essential. The methods and
controlling influences of the church are
unrooted and fer the time, Mr. BedlOw
has everything his own way. Some are
disheartened, a great many are excited
and the good results, whatever they may
seem to he, are ephemeral. There inev'
itably follows reaction, and in year
the church acknowledges to itself that it
is left in worse condition than that in
which Mr.. Bedlow found it. The minis
ter has been shaken from his poise, the
church is dead, and, whatever happens,
Nr. Bedlow, still going through his pro
cess elsewhere, will not be invited there
again.

The New Empress.

A New York Herald London telegram
says: The theatrical trick of Disraeli
to signalize his ministry by conferring
the title Of " Empress OF India" on the
Queen of England is not the easy OF
pleasant task that he anticipated. The
discussion wakes violent on all sides, and
those who were Indifferent month ago
whether the queen was called Padizhah
of Hindostan or Begun of Bhopal have
now convinced themselves either that
the new title is dangerous innovation
OF a necessary assumption in name OF
what is already matter of fact. II is
discussed vehemently by those who in
loyal haste TO indorse it, add a couple
OF chs" and final "r" to it, saying
"Hempre~ Of Hindiar," or by those
who belittle it as throwing away title
on the blacks of 'Indostan.
The opposition in the house Of CON-
mons had undoubtedly gained ground
since the last debate, as was seen in the
discussion ON the third reading of the
bill, which, contrary to their expressed
determination, they forced upon the
house. The government has, however, a
safe majority In the house OF lords,
where the debate on the subject is un.
paralleled for invective and satire.
In connection with the statement
freely made that an amnesty will bs
granted to the imprisoned Fenians on
the proclamation Of the imperial title,

FOREIGN NEWSPAPERS IN THE UNITED

The French tongue is maintained in
twenty-eight papers, of which five are in

big word, and the language it signifies is
a very strange one to as natives, but it

Of nineteen papers, two Of which are in

There are seventeen Spanish newspapers
in this country, seven Of which are in

The CONTINUED EXPORT OF CoTToN
GooDs.-1t is fact not generally known
that the British drills, jeans, and sheet
ings imported now are all stamped with
American brands and the names of lead
ing American mills. Respecting the ex-
port of cotton goods to England, the
movement continues with considerable
success. Tho number of packages ship
ped from New York and Boston since
January | amounts to nearly eighteen
thousand packages, against ten thousand
during the same period in 1875. 1t is ad-
mitted that there is not much profit in
the movement, but it has a tendency to
rid the country of portion of the sur
plus cottons, besides giving employment
to thousands of hands, though at a re-
duced rate of wages. II is unnecessary
to add that the quality of goods thus ex-
ported if of superior quality to those
of English make, and at the same time
enables the Manchester manufacturers
to export their inferior goods to China,
for which good profit is realized.-Bos-
