TIE PHILOSOPHY OF PERIODICAL DRUNKs. Dr. Comings, of New Britain, claims that the habit of liquor-drinking establishes up on the mucous lining or ''coats" of the stomach an infl amed condition. ln evil-look. ing red patches. which are visible after the patient dies and his body has been subject to . post mortem dissection. The men who have periodical drunks. the doctor argues, are drawn to alcoholic drinks about such 8 time. whatever the time may be, because the condition of their stomachs, in healing, under natures efforts. periodically reaches . certain stage that calls imperatiyely for more rum. He illustrates this by 8 case which occurred in New Britain. Ore of those common cases of man who has pc riodical "spells" of ''going on a spree" was taken hold of on trial. He would remain sober, every time, for sixty days. Dr. 0. offered the man $25 if he would keep sober once. for sikty-fiye days. Oh, yes, be could do that-snd he would. He tried it-tried hard; and he succeeded in going sober for sixty-three days. A second offer raised the money to $50. Again trial-he was sure this tune; but he only succeeded in going sixty.on days this time. Then the offer was raised to @75, and Old Periodical tried it oncs more-but this time he couldn't go 6 step beyond his regular sixty days. Then he gave 1t up.

DISCOVERY OF AN ANCIENT CITY A Col
 orsdo correspondent of the Chicago Times reports that gold seeker who was explor ing the San Ninguel and Dolores valleys in search of gold, last year, Uncovered on the west bank of the DolOros river the ruins of what had once evidently been large city |. Ancient ruins and fragments of pottery were scattered in every direction, and the foundation walls of some of the principal buildings were still standing In good state of preservation In the centre of the ruins and standing in a clear, open space, were the remains of g temple, which had eviden . ly been devoted to the worship of ths sun. The wsils were of hewn stone, and 30 fue- ly laid together that it was hard to detect @ joint. The plaster on the walls inside was still bright and fresh looking. The temple measured three hundred feet in length and two hundred and twenty feet in width, and the walls were adorned with rough repre- sentations of men and animals, with no perspe ctive, while over one of the win- dows was the rude f1gare of dove bearing . twig or branch of some kind, and flying toward 8 mountain in the distance. The explorer found the ground covered tor acres with cut stones and broken crock, ry ware, and house and walls of solid mason Yy. showing marks ot skillful workman ehlps having WlInstoOu tne Tavagee or tlme for uupumbered centuries. A wall fifty feet thick, apparently several miles in cir conference, WAS visible in many places. Iu places houses were found completely covered in the earth, having become 80 by the long rrocess of time. In one of the houses the explorer found an opening, and by means of rope let himself down into what he considered the upper story of al building of enormous size. There were at le ast dozen different apartments, some of h em very large. The floor was of solid Q das logs, hswsd aud 6ttsd together.

INNKNTIoN IN IRuN.-One of the most important discoveries of the age has been lately made by Professor A. Herring for the detection of latent flaws and defects in iron. He is now engaged in making 8 SC ries of experiments at the Harmony Mills, preparatory to putting it into practice. By the means Of electro-msgnetism he discoY. ers hidden imperfectlons with degree of accuracy hitherto unknown ID iron in any shape. The iron is first magnetized to Its point of saturstion, when each flaw be comes polsrized. forming 6 negative and positive pole, the influence being in propor. tion to the defect. When thoroughly neg netizsd the iron is passed under a msgne. tometer. when the imperfection is designs. ted by the dtfiection of the peedle. If the bar be alike throughout, the needle remains at the usual point of it's arc. So sensitive ii the test that the slightest defect is percept able in the arc. The usefulness of this dis covery s incalculsble. Cables, shaft and boiler plates ara tested with ease. The pro- cess, when thoroughly tested and put in practice, will render accidents from defect i've iron an impossibility.
