The SpirituaIiStS.

The Spiritualists are disturbed by dis
sensions among themselves. Some OF
the believers are trying to introduce
occult philosophy, including belief in
necromancy and kindred things but a
great number, probably majority. re-
jected the innovation. There is likely,
however, to be a schism upon this point.
Another trouble is caused by Home, the
weI-known medium, who denQunces as
impostors the Davenports, Eddys, and
all other operators in naturalization.
Home says that everything done in the
dark, behind curtains, or in cabinets
may be properly regarded as trickery.
This arouses the resentment of a numer-
Gus class of Spiritualists, who retaliate
by saying that Home is trickster. The
Oneida Community has embraced Spirit
ualism, and that has revived a discus
sion OF socialism, upon which Spiritual
lists are divided.

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

ARTIFICIAL TEETH ON NATURAL STUMP5.-
Mr. Moon has recently stated, in communi.
cation to the English Chronological Society.
that the stump of a tooth may be preserved
as the basis of an artificial tooth, and rem
dered painless, by leaving the root canal emp
ty and drilling hole into it just below the
edge of the gum. This hole becomes per-
manent vent and thus saves the stump from
disturbing influences, which, if deprived of
means of escape, would ultimately destroy it
by painful process.
LIFTING EFFECT OF Frost ON TREEs.-Dr.
Lapham, State Botanist and State Geologist
OF Wisconsin, says that frost exerts lifting
power Ga full grown trees, so as to cause the
Impressions on some that the tree begins to
grow again after once attaining its full growth.
When the land freezes expansion ensues,
drawing the tree up with it, leaving, of course,
a cavity whence the root WAS drawn. When
the first frost comes, the moisture, carrying
earthly matter, enlers the cavity, and thus tthe
root is prevented from returning to its original
position. DR.. Lapham suggests that one OF
tbs chief offices Of the tap roots may be to
guard the tree as much as possible against
this frost-lifing.
EXPLOSION OF CHRoMATIC ACID WITH GLY-
CERINE.-Explosive prescriptions are some
times sent to innocent pharmacists by iguo-
rant physicians. The latest case of this kind
is related by Austrian journals. The follow
ing mixture was ordered for external use: rs
grains chromatic acid and 60 grains glyceriDe.
The caromatic acid was mixed with water in
a flask and the glycerine mixed with it by
shaking Suddenly the contents of the flask
exploded, flying all about the shop, while the
vessel remained unhurt in the hand of the
astonished apothecary, and was covered with
a black mass. This case deserves the more
notice because the quantity was SO small and
the defamation so extremely violent.
