A Scientific Voyage.

The voyage of the Challenger, an e1-
ploring vessel sent out by the British
government, has been exceedingly val
liable to science in determining ocean
depths and currents, ascertaining new
facts concerning animal Life in the sea,
and throwing new life OIL abstruse prob.
lens in geology, geodes7, and natural
history. An exceedingly entertaining
account of the voyage is given in Nature,
accompanied by drawings of several OF
the newly discovered animals, made
from them while living, under the mi
croscope. These strange forms can be
compared with nothing that the average
reader is likely to be acquainted with,
except perhaps that some of them resem-
BILE figures occasionally obtained in a
kaleidoscope. The distance sailed was
G8,930 miles the voyage lasted three
years, and circumnavigated the globe.
The deepest dredeings were at a depth
of 3, $50 fathoms, near the island Of st.
Thomas, W. I. A determination of the
currents Of the ocean has long been per-
cieved to be essential to correct knowl-
edge of the changes in the atmosphere,
the movements of cyclones, and gen.
eral comprehension of the meteorology
of the globe. The contributions of the
Challenger's voyage to this branch of
knowledge alone must prove of great
service in the direction that these stud
les are now taking; the hope being gen.
orally entertained that the advances of
science will sooner or later give storm
predictions for the whole world.

A Pet Dogs Madness.

One evening recently great excite
ment was created at the residence Of
Mr.. Charles W. Booz, in Baltimore.
While one of Mr.. Booz's children was
playing with pet dog, the animal sud
denly jumped from her lap and ran
around the room with almost lightning
velocity. The family, noticing that the
dog was frothing at the mouth, made
their escape by mounting the tables,
sideboards, and other furniture in the
apartment. The brute, after many vain
attempts to bite those in the room, rush
ed through every room in the building,
after which it returned to the sitting
room, where, in its fury, it snapped at
the legs of the chairs and tables and
tore the carpets. Fortunately at this
iuncture Mr.. Booz returned home to
dinner.
As he neared his dwelling his atten-
ton was attracted by the screams of the
inmates. Thinking that the house was
on fire, Mr.. Booz, without waiting to
take out his night key, burst the door
in. When he reached the dining room
the dog sprung upon him, and des-
perate battle took place. After some
moments of hard fighting, Mr.. Booz
managed, by the use of his walking
stick, to beat the dog into the yard in
the rear of the house, and from thence
into shed, the door of which he Sc
curely fastened. The animal barked and
howled for nearly an hour, after which
all was silent. Upon cautiously reopen
ing the door Mr.. Booz found that the
dog in it's rabid fury had chewed the
tongue out of it's head, causing it to
bleed to death. MIR. Booz declares that
it is almost a mystery how the family es-
capped the dogs teeth.

An Editor on his Muscle.

The Winnemucca (Nev.) Register
says: As the editor of this paper was
quietly attending to his business man
came in and excitedly asked: t" Are
you the editor of this papera" We an
swered: eyes" He then drew q
whistler. and pointing il in our vicinity
snapped it. We instantly threw him
down, the stove going over at the same
time. We stopped down and began to
wipe the floor with his cowardly carcass,
but not noticing the pistol, which he
was still trying to use. Aprinter jumped
in and took the pistol from him, when
we allowed him to get up and ordered
him to 60 ont of doors. He picked up a
bar of steel about twenty inches long,
and undertook to strike us with it, but
was prevented by our gentle grip upon
his windpipe. In showing him toward
the door we showed him through the
glass, fragment of which cut a small
cash in the editorial scalp.
The article that we suppose the man
took offense at called no names, and was
a matter of common street talk, and was
published as an item of news. We shall
continue to publish all news items we
can come across, regardless of who it
hits, and hereafter be prepared to defend
ourselves against whoever comes to
assassinate us. We retract nothing, nor
are we sorry for the mercy shown IN
cold man." The "olu man " left his
howitzer on the field of battle, and can
have the same by calling, proving prop
erty, paying damages, and apologizing
for his cowardly attempt at assassina'

A Valuable Violin.

Mr.. r. D. Hawley, of Hartford, Con.
necticut, has recently purchased the
remarkable violin known to connoisseurs
as the "King Joseph" the handsomest
and most perfect of the violins Of
Joseph Guanrerius. This violin was
the gem of the celebrated Plowden col
lection in England, which became dis
persed by sale upon the death of Mr..
Plowden, and has been for the past eight
years in the possession If Mr.. John P.
Waters, of Brooklyn, New York, from
whom Mr.. Hawley bought it on private
terms. Upon the testimony of Vieu1-
temps, the eminent violinist, who is
we'll acquainted with its merits, the
"King Joseph " is not only in perfect
condition, but has the richest and most
powerful tone known to violin critics.
It is the same pattern as the Paganini
Guarnerius, which has been kept
since Paganini's death in the museum at
Genoa, Italy. NJ, VieuxteD'ps, who has
played upon both instruments, says
that the "Kipg Joseph" has the finest
tone of the two-a circumstance which
may be attributable to the fact that the
Paganini violin has not been played
upon since his death, except upon very
rare occasions, when it has been per-
mitted as q special favor to distinguished
artists. The "King Joseph was sold
in England for e70O sterling-the high
est price ever known to have been paid
for violin.

Initiative Disease,

A recent medical work gives this in
stance of initiative disease, as the effect
of allowing the mind to dwell on one
subject to the exclusion of all else: A
young girl who was living in India wit
messed some native feats and shows at a
religious festival Among other sights
that she saw was that of a native, whose
lower limbs were drawn up to his body
and were there permanently fixed. The
girl was morbidly impressed by this
sight, and next morning was found in
bed unable to rise, because one of her
lower limbs was drawn up closely and
rigidly to her body. This initiative con-
dition remained for many months, and
neither by persuasion nor by force could
the patient be got to straightcn out the
limb. She was submitted to the action
of chloroform, and when her volitional
power was entirely overcome by the ac-
tion of the narcotic vapor, aud the whole
of the muscles were rendered faccid,
the limb could readily be brought
down. But as soon as the narcotic
effect passed away, so soon as the mus
cles regained their stimulus, SO soon was
the limb drawn again into it's contracted
and rigid position. The young lady,
with the limb in the contracted state,
was ultimately brought to England,
where she remained for many weeks
without change. One day while her at,
teution was entirely absorbed in game
of chess, her leg was gently straight
ened without the slightest opposition on
her part; and, the moment sine was con-
scious of the fact, she undertook to walk
up stairs. To the wonder of all her
friends she accomplished the feat with.
out demur or difficulty, and from that
time onward has remained unaffected.
Interrogated afterward as to the reason
why her limb was distorted in the man
ner described, she expressed her entire
inability to assign any reason. She was
of opinion that, although she never
willed the contraction nor by any act of
will maintained the resistance, yet that
the idea of it was never off her mind
during her waking hours, until the mo-
ment when she was entirely devoted to
the simple object of winning the game
of chess. Then it seemed to her that in
the excitement she had altogether for
gotten the contraction as we'll as the
varied forcible attempts that had been
made to overcome it, every one of
which, she was convinced, served only
to aggravate the evil. When she dis
covered that the limb had been brought
down, the fact gave her no surprise.

The Grasshopper Pest.

A correspondent writes to tho Scien-
tifc american as follows I notice
some statements in your paper from the
Minnesota State commission and Profess
sor Riley, in regard to grasshoppers,
from which I beg leave to differ. AS I
have had experience with the pests dur
ing two visitations in Kansas, in the
years 1S67-S and 1874-5, think have
u right to hearing.
As to the sack which contains the eggs
being affected by moisture, I will quote
an instance. In the fall of 1867, the
grasshoppers deposited eggs on dry
slough on the Missouri river; early in
the spring the place was overaowed, and
remained under water till late in the
summer of 1868, when it dried up; and
the young hoppers came out just as live
ly and ablebodied as if they had been
hatched under the most favorable cir
cumstances. As to their being affected
by freezing Gas I have seen stated at
different times), in the winters of 1915
the mercury ranged as low as twenty
eight degrees below zero, and the ground
was frozen to the depth of two and one
half feet. But the young hopper came
out as gayly and festively as if be had
laid in O greenhouse all winter, though
the eggs did not average an inch under
ground,

Fatal Duel in Colorado.

The duel fought at River Bend, Colo
RADIO, between Albert Jessup and NJ. O.
Davis appears to have been one OF the
most deliberate affairs on record. Jes.
SUP is said to have been the son of a
wealthy New York banker. Both he and
Davis were extensive dealers in cattle,
and 50 far as known their relations had
always been of the most friendly charac-
ter. A short time before the fatal en-
counter they were seen together in earn
est, but apparently friendly, conversa-
ton. After talking while they became
engaged in hot words, and agreed to go
out on the prairie and fight it out. They
had no seconds. Davis carried an I'M
proved Winchester rife, while Jessup
had Colts improved revolver hanging
from his belt. They walked close to-
gether and appeared to be engaged in
Confidential conversation, neither one
gesticulating or exhibiting signs OF anger
or excitement. When about five hun
dred yards from the station, on the open
prairie, Jessup and Davis shook hands
and took positions fifty PAGES apart.
Before the spectators, who now saw what
was about to occur, could reach the
dueling ground the firing commenced.
Jessup, who now showed some excite
ment, glancing around along the cactus
plants, fred his three. shots wild, neither
ball touching his adversary. Davis,
taking steady aim each time, fired two
shots from his rifle: the second one
piercing Jessup through the heart. He
fell forward on his face, with his right
hand clutching his revolver. The spec
tators reached the spot just as Jessup
fell dead. Davis, who displayed re-
markable GOODNESS, helped to carry the
body of his victim to the station. He
refused to divulge the nature of the
difficulty between himself and Jessup,
simply saying that the latter challenged
him to duel at fifty PAGES, three shots,
each man to choose his weapon.

Little Children.

People who habitually put children
out of their hearts, and close their doors
upon them, have no idea how much
comfort they set aside-what pleasure,
what amusement. OF course the little
creatures meddle with things, and leave
the traces of their fingers on ,he wall,
and cry and "bother," u little; but,
when one gets into the way Of it, as
most mothers and other loving relatives
do, those things become of minor i'm
portance. Children say such pretty
things, and do such funny things, the
touch of their little hands is so soft, the
sound of their little voices so sweet,
their faces are SO pretty, their move
ments so graceful and comical, the
whole family goes baby mad-and it is
no wonder. No book was ever written
that is half as interesting as little child
that is learning to talk and to think.
that is developing from tiny animal
into being with a conscience and a
heart.

PaWnbrOker's Signs.

The three balls which constitute the
pawnbroker's sign were formerly the
armorial bearings of the Medici, upon
whose escutcheon was the device of three
golden pills (three 6ezants or, some call
ed them). This family were the first
great money lenders whence their
agents in Engl nd and other countries,
displaying the armorial bearings over
their places of loaning, others in the
same line adopted the heraldic device.
It was facetiously suggested by some
one, that the reason of the peculiar
position of the three balls (the one
above the two) is, that it is two to one
that the pledger ever takes out that
which be has put in.

How Much Shall We Eat +!

Sir James Clark thought that one of
the most fruitful sources OF consump-
tion was excessive eating. He says /:
"By too stimulating diet the stomach
becomes disordered, the secretions i'm
paired, the circulation unbalanced, the
skin dry and harsh; and often, as con-
sequence, tuberculous disease results. "
DR.. Johnson offers the following on
this point: "Whenever meal is fol-
lowed by an inaptitude for mental or
corporal exertion, we have transgressed
the rules of health, and are laying the
foundation for disease"
What an immense gain it would prove
to us all if the dessert could be abol-
ished Ninety nine people in hun
dred get enough, and most OF them
too much, before reaching it.

A Difference.

Apropos of the state of the London
drinking water, the writer of an article
in an English magazine, DR.. Sandwith,
thus points his moral He was in q
drawing-room where the afternoon tea
came in on Japanese tray, with a cost
ly service of old Dresden china. A tiny
loaf fell off tho tray on the Persian car
pet; q loaf that had been Oh the floor
could not be offered by the hostess to
her guests. But the lady then poured
them out tea, made of diluted sewage
from the Thames, of which the rivers
pollution commissioners had just report
ed that its history was too disgusting to
bo told, and that it could not he used
without serious risk.
