Japanese Mythology.

NJ. Burnout has published an inter-
esting brochure on the mythology OF
the japanese, based upon q more popu-
lar historical work than that previously
translated by Titsingh and klaproth.
The NEUROLOGICAL system is little con-
fusing. The names of the gods are as
long as though they had been invented
by a modern chemist. Naturally things
commence in chaos, but soon three un-
begotten deities emerge TO view. From
these descend eight coupled deities, the
last being I-zana-gino-mikoto Che who
granted TOO much), and I-zana-mino-
mikoto (she who asked too much), who
were the parents of mountains, rivers,
plants, gods and men. Their eldest
daughter was Ten-syau-dai zin, /. e.,
the great goddess who shines in the
heavens. Her younger brother was a
rough fellow, Irregular pickle" and
frightened his sister TO such an extent
that she retired into grotto. The re-
suit was that night and day could no
longer be distinguished from each other.
The gods, in great CONSERVATION, assem-
bled and commenced a serenade before
the cave. Dai zin hearing their noisy
demonstrations. was moved by feminine
curiosity to have peep. She was seized
by the hand and brought forth, her per-
secutor being exiled to another province.
There he saw an old man and woman
weeping over a young girl. In answer
t. his inquiries he learned that mon-
strous serpent with eight heads and
eight tails had already devoured seven
daughters, and was about to gobble up
the only one remaining. The god says

five now turn to the sun, We nnd
that there are three distinct forms OF
motion which animate his surface par
ticles. In the first place each particle
Ia carried round by the rotation OF our
luminary. Secondly, each particle Is
Influenced by the gigantic meteoroiog-
ical disturbances OF the surface, IN
virtue of which it may acquire veioc,
ity ranging as high as one hundred ano
thirty or one hundred and forty miles 8
second; and lastly, each particle on ac-
count of its high temperature, is viora-
ting with extreme rapidity, and the
energy Of these vibrations Is communi-
Gated to us by means of the ethereal me-
dium produces the well-known light
and heat effect of the sun.
Now. Is ir philosophical to suppose
that 1t is only the last of these three
motions that influence our earth, while
the other two produce absolutely no ef-
feet? On the contrary, we are, think
compelled, by considerations connected
with the theory of energy, TO attribute
an influence, whether great or small TO
the firsr two as well as to the last.
We are thus led to suppose that the
sun must influence the earth In three
ways, one depending on his rotation,
another on his meteorological disturb
xnce, and third by means Of the vibra-
ton of his surface particles.
But we have already seen that, as
matter of fact, the sun does appear to
influence the earth In three distinct
ways-one magnetically and meteorol-
ogically, depe nding apparently on his
period Of rotation; second cyclonic-
ally, depending apparently on the me-
genealogical conditions of his surface
and third, by means Of his light and
heat.

Brilliant Ink.

The writing of the present day, brill
liant rs it often is. will become dOubly
so before long. Two Frencl chemists
have, according to the English Mechanic
taken out a patent for making ink for
letterpress printing, .ithography, and
autOgraphy, from the refuse of the gas
works, from ether, tar, and the heavy
oils of petroleum, resin wood, &c.
These substances, ii is asserted, mix
readily with lampblack and other dry
colors in powder; and the ink made
from them has the great advantage of
neither penetrating the paper nor
spreading, and il may be mixed in any
desired proportions with the fatty oils
for certain classes. For black ink for
typographical printers the inventors
use what they call evaporated oil, or
liquid pitch, with lampblack and Prus-
sian blue, in the following proportions.
Tar, 100 parts; lampblack, 36 parts; !;
Prussian blue, 10 parts; 81 cerine, 10
parts. For colored inks they use the
heavy oils, purified as far as possible
from the tarry matters which give a
brown tint, with the coloring matter In
powder. There can be little doubt that
there is room for improvement, If not
i'm the composition Of our books, at
least the ink used in writing them.
Modern writing ink is not nearly so
durable as ancient ink, some of which
according to an interesting paper OIL
the subject, read by Mr.. Underwood be-
fore the Society of Arts in 1857, was
merely carbon pigment, while other
kinds were veritable dyes of iron AMI
acids (true chemical compounds), with
the addition of good deal of carbon.
