TILToN AND HIS WIFE.-Thc recently
published story of quarrel between Theo-
dore Titon and Elizabeth Titon over their
son Ralph is pronounced by those familiar
with the facts to be a fiction. 4 lawyer in
New York, who is related to Mrs. Tilton
by marriage. and who has served her as
counsel gratuitously, told Mr.. Tilton last
winter, in one OF his visits home, that Mrs.
Tilton, who was living in Madison street
with Mrs. Morse, her mother, was really in
want, and that Mr.. Augustine Storrs, the
treasurer of Plymouth church, had not paid
her the 500 month which Mrs. Tilton was
promised. Mr.. Tilton gave his check
promptly for 81, 900. On the last visit OF his
son Ralph, Mr.. Tilton took him, with his
daughters Florence and Alice and his son
Carroll, to see their grandparents, in Key
port, n. j. The children are there still.
Mr.. Tilton is at Ocean View, near Long
Branch, and is at work on his lecture for
next season.-Ne,o York SUM-.

The White House in Itself Is not d lit place
for Presidents mansion, and, SO far as
healthfnlness and living goes, it is cesspoo1
OF malaria. The grounds Mt the rear OF the
house ruin down. including the white
lot, to the edge OF the Potomac river. AT
this point the river, owing tt" the improve
ments which have recently been made In
laying out a waterfront boulevard to the
docks which have been constructed IN order
to enable the sloops to land stone for the
State Department building, and by rea-
son Of the rapid accumulation Of soil
in the Potomac, which l. speedily fill
ing up the river, altogether is little bet
ter than stagnant marsh. The Kidwcll
bottoms, marslly lowland uncovered ut
low tide, and scarcely covered at full tide,
aid in breeding the malaria. In fact, the
entire Potomac river front, Immediately be-
meath the bedroom windows OF the White
House, is Pontine marsh. At all seasons
of the year the malarial scourge rises, and
in the spring and fall, when the summer
heats render putrid the decaying vegeta-
ton, the malarial poison constantly pene-
trates the White House windows. Added
to this, the White House, strange as it may
seem, is not supplied with the conveniences
OF modern times. Until within two years
there was not a water-closct under the roof.of:
the White House, and bathrooms have been
but very recently placed in this ancient
structure. The ceilings Of the part which
is occupied by the President and his house
hold are very low. The building. is in
tested with rats, the sewerage defective, the
water supply is not always adequate, and
altogether, with the thermometer at $50 in
the shade, with persistent politicians kick
ing their heels in the ante-room, and the
more persistent ones bothering the presi-
dental mind inside his study, the White
House, as home, is not an attractive place
| for residence in the summer months.
| 1t is sad to think that Tilden will be sub
jected to all these discomforts.

Euphrosyne F. Boudar, the little girl so
seriously injured on 4th OF July morning
by brick falling on her head, is steadily
improving. Professor Butler, her attend
ing physician, has hopes OF her ultimate re-
covery, but her restoration will be slow.
She appears to be conscious of what is
going on around her, and at times holds out
her hand to receive articles intended for
her.-Baitimore Sun.

states that although LoOms, and even Bravais, be-
heved that observations which give q very low
hight to the erroneous and the result OF
some Illusion, yet he cannot agree with them; and
he offers in support of his opinion, among other
things, the phenomena observed the 18th of
October, 1SGS, at the entrance Of the Norwegian
Archipelago, when the whole horizon was covered
with rays which were soon united around the mag
netic pole forming irregular crown. All the phenom-
ena that he has observed and described in regard to
the illuminated edges of Clouds show very plainly
that in these the polar light was produced in
the region of the clouds, and even lower. We know
by numerous observations that tho number of thun-
der and lightning storms diminishes considerably as
we approach the polar regions, so that they no
longer occur in the latitude of 70o Must we then
conclude that in these regions the clouds are CON-
pletey G.pTived of electricity Certainly not; but
only tha5 the electrical discharges made IN some
other way. In these high latitudes, electricity Is
discharged not only by Clouds but also directly by
damp air, as takes place in the Wiuter in the tenn
peTate zones, A great many direct observations
prove the existeI 20 of slow discharges OF this
nature; and very remarkable continuation IL
gwen by AugstroIp, who one occasion proved the
presence in the spectrum of the yellow or auroral
ray over almost tho entire sky.

MAGNETIC PARTICLES IN ATMOSPHERIC DUST
The atmospheric dust examined by Tssapder was
coIected in several different ways and in every case
was found to contain minute magnetic ferruginOus
particles. Part of the dust was collected upon
aheeia Of paper exposed to the air for many days 10
another series Of experiments air passed through
pure water and the latter eyaPorased suphuriC
scid in vacuo. Other samples were collected from
rain and snow water, in one instance particularly
from snow gathered upon Mt Blanc 2,712 meters
above sea level. The fercugnous PARTICLES occurring
