Supposed Discovery of the Tomb of David


A letter has just been received by
Prof. Osborn, of Oxford, Ohio, written
from Jerusalem under date of June 18th,
giving details of a visit to the tomb of
David. The writer, DR.. De Haas, L. S.
Consul, at that place, says that the visit
was made during the recent passover.
The building is about five hundred feet
south of the Zion gate, itself the most
southern gate Of Jerusalem. 1t has
long been known as the tomb Of David,
and contains an upper chamber where,
according to tradition, the Lords sup
per was instituted. The building has
massive foundations, and the "upper
room" is constructed with heavy
groined arches. The so-called tomb is
made of marble pOrphyry, covered with
a pail of embroidered cloth with the
Arabic letters in gold. 90, David,
verify thou art a sovereign prince in all
the earth" Prof. Osborn says that the
tomb was visited by a lady whom he
met In Jerusalem some years ago, and
with much the same results as to OBJ
servations, except that DIR. De Haas has
discovered Il door walled up leading to
the crypt containing the tomb. This
wallcd-up way is supposed to lead to
the actual tombs of the kings, and the
so-called tomb is only u %centotaph.
Sometime ago a plan made by a Turk
ish architect of the tOmbs of the Hebrew
Mosque was obtained and published by
Professor Osborn in his geographic no
tees of the city, the accuracy Of which
was testified to by Dean Stanley in his
account of the visit of the Prince of
Wales. In this latter place of the He
bron tombs is also a closed subterranean
passage, and the inference is, that in
both places the true tombs, and prob
ably the embalmed remains Of the kings
and patriarchs at this tomb Of David
and at Hebron, are yet unbroken, hav-
ing meyer been visited in the c%avernous
sepulchres. Here is work to be per-
formed In opening these tombs which
will create a sensation in the archRlogi-
cal world uncqualled by anything dis
covered at Troy or Mycenm.-Bdptis

Generation after generation have felt
MS we now feel, and their lives were as
active as our own. They passed away
like vapor while nature wore the same
aspect of beauty rs when she first ex-
listed. The heavens shall be as bright
over III graves as they are around Il
paths. The world will have the same
attractions for the offspring yet unborn
as It once had for our children. Yet a
little while and all this will have hap
pened. The throbbing heart will lbe
stilled, and we shall be at rest. Our
funeral will wend its way, and the
prayers will be said and we shall be
left In the darkness and silence of the
tomb. And it may be but a short time
that we shall be spoken of, but things
of life shall creep on and Il names
Will be forgotten. Days will continue
TO move on, and laughter and song will
be heard in the room where we died !;
and the eye that mourned for us will be
dry and animated with joy, and even
our children will cease to think of us,
and will remember to lisp our names no
more.

The sun comes up aud the sun goes down,
And day and night are the same as one
The year grows gEeen aud the year grows brown
Aud what is it all when all Is donef
Grains Of somber or shining sand,

Aud men go down n ships to the seas,
Aud a hundred ships are the same as one

The HEALING PROPERTIES OF CABBAGE
LEAvRs.-The th~erapeutical value OF
cabbage leaves, which has long been
recognized In household medicine, Is
discussed at considerable length by DR..
Blanc In the Revae de Ia stique,
and the conclusions 10 which ne comes,
cOncisely stated, are as follows: The
cabbage leaf excltes and Arguments sup
puratiOn Of the secretion of ulcers,
alterations, vesicles, and pustules. Ii
has the same action on the integuments
affected by an erysipelatous or %furuncu-
lous inflammation. This property does
not consist In any principle which the
leaf yields for absorption, but rather In
an affinity which the leaf has for the
Initiated secretiOns. The leaf exercises
this affinity on open ulcers, or on
ulcers covered by a thick or thin scab
or crust; iteXercises 1t on the thickened
epidermis or where it is converted into
thickened rind like membranes; in
simple or continent variola, throughout
mortified tissues, through the integu-
ments, whether inlamed or non-in-
famed, but emOves tumors capable of
absorption. When the documentary
affection is widespread or general, the
action Of the leaves on the parts where
they are applied benefits the whole dis

Immediately excreted at that part.
Treatment, by the leaves, of a suppura-
tive affection prevents transcription
and consequent py@mia. The cure OBJ
tanned by this means is more complete
and certain than by any other, because
it is brought about only when the cause
and products OF disease are eliminated
from the system. The cure of an ulcer
by the leaves, however widespread and
long-standing 1t may be, is without
danger, and relapse is very rare. The
cicatrices obtained by the leaves are re-
markable for their small degree of de-
formity. Smallpox, measles, aid scar

Smoke Screens for Torpedoes.-HistOry
is repeating itself again. In his veraci-
Gus chronicle of New York Mr.. Diedrich
Knickerbocker says that, when an Eng
lish ship sailed into the harbOr, and
ar~rogantly demanded of the primeval
Dutch, the prompt surrender of their
possessions, that portion of the phleg-
matte population which had settled in
COmmunipaw raised such a cloud Of
smoke from their huge pipes that the
piratical British never discovered their
existence in the midst of the dense fog.
A similar plan Is now proposed for the
protection of torpedo boats from the
fire of an attacked ship. Hale's rockets
are to be provided with smoke balls and
discharged from the launches on ignit-
ing envelope both the assaulting craft
and that assaulted in such a thick cloud
that it will be practically impossible for
the latter to use her electric light with
any efficacy or to sight her guns at her
concealed antagonists.

MoLAssEs PARKIN.-Take one pound
of prime molasses, one pound Of butter,
two pounds Of flour, one ounce of
ground ginger, sliced candied orange
peel, and a glass of brandy. If not

and orange, half the butter, and make
it of rye flour, household flour, OF oat-
meal. The ginger too should be fresh
ground, as it loses much of its strength
by keeping. Before baking the cake,
the tin must be well buttered to make
the parkin come out, and, when done,
a fork, if thrust into it, will come out

Blasting By MISUNDERSTANDING by
electricity, one of the latest practical
developments Of science, Is being rem
orally utilized. The advantages are
great saving of explosives, safety, and
protection of life, economy Of capital
and time, and overcoming obstacles
that nothing else will, such as firing
under any quantity of water, sinking
or driving In soft sandstone, granite
splitting, roofing up trees, blasting,
Stag. etc.
On Saturday, June 10, a gigantic ex-
plOsion was arranged in the granite
quarries Of Messrs. Ellis and Evrard,
at Bardon Hill, near Leicester, by
Messrs. Atkin and John Harris, of
NObel's Explosive Company; six holes
being put in, averaging a depth of 20
feet, each hole being charged with 10
lbs. of dynamite, and exploded with
Capt. Brains electric fuses. The ma
chine used 10 fire them was Capt.
Brains American Improved, a most
compact and simple article, being only
some IA lbs. in weight, which may be
used by the ordinary workingmen, Civ
ing an electric spark 2 inches In length.
The firing Of these six holes had a most
marvellous effect, the whole quarry
having the appearance Of being rent as
by an earthquake. Huge blocks of
granite were tumbled out, and upon
careful examination and measurement
1t was computed that 1900 tons had
been dislOdged and thrown into the bot
tom of the quarry. This practical de-
mOnstration of the effect of simultane-
GUS blasting with a powerful explosive
in connection with quarry works was
most satisfactory to the prOprietOrs and
other gentlemen present, it being gen.
orally acknowledged that such success
full results had never been known In
the district before.
The Electric Blasting Apparatus
Company, CinderfOrd, Worcestershire,
have also just very successfully laid
down a SET of blasting apparatus at
South Kirkby COlliery, neal Pontefract
where shafts are being sunk to a depth
of ZOO yards. The advantages of the
system are so apparent in collieries
already using this apparatus in the dis
trict that its use is becoming more gem
eral. At the HOughton Main COlliery,
near Barnsley, two 10 feet shafts are
each firing 16 holes at once, and raising
20 tons of debris from a shot, an increase
of 30 tons a blast on the old system-a
practical demonstration of the great
advantages of simultaneous blasting

A Fertilizer from BlOod.-A French
man named Lissagaray has taken out a
Bavarian patent for making a fertilizer
from blood. High pressure steam is
first passed into the blood so as to cause
it to boil and coagulate the albumen.
The coagulated blood, while still hot,
is pumped up on a linen filter stretched
across a frame, and the greater part of
the liquid drained off from the coagu-
lum, which is packed in bags made of
stronger linen, piled n upon the
other, and squeezed between the plates
of a hydraulic press, then dried in a
wheel divided into four compartments,
into which is passed hot air. In this
way the heterogeneous portion of the
blood is all retained in a form in which
it is not liable to immediate decomposi-
tion, rendering it less offensive to
handle and transport. If the blood be
subjected to this treatment while fresh,
the operation should not be particular
ly d~isagreeable.
