THE MooN.-What does our naked
eye tell US about the moon ? 1t shows
us the broad, bluff. hearty. good-humor-
ed face, somewhat freckled, indeed, and
dappled, but none the less handsome for
that, but whether it is made of German
silver, or of silver, bronze, or of cheese,
not quite green, it does not tell us, or
anything about the man in the moon, or
even about the woman. But the tele-
scope comes to our aid, and being point
ed to the sky transfers US to within a
very few miles of its surface, to all in
tents and purposes, and we are able to
make map of the moon, in some re-
spects better than any map that has ever
been made of the earth (; and we behold
an earth-like body tossed up into tre-
mendous Switzerland and filled with
gorges, ravines and walled plains; with
mountains which would be on the earth
twenty miles high, with craters, which
on earth would be 45O miles across,
without apparent water, without appar-
ent atmosphere, always presenting the
same field to our view, rotating upon its
axis once in twenty-seven days, chang
ing its distance from us in the eye Of
the telescope. showing that it goes round
the earth in an eliptical and not in {
| circular orbit.

The manner in which it is proposed
to bring the obelisk known as "Cleopa-
tra's Needle"-given years ago by the
Khedive to the British Government
from Egypt to England is peculiar. First
of all it will be ballasted in the water
at Alexandria, and deck will be put
upon it, with couple of masts. The
hinder compartment of the deck will be
left open for the accommodation of two
or three men, whose duty it will be to
steer the 'ship" by means of rudder
attached to the stern in the ordinary
way. The obelisk, thus transformed,
will be ready for the steamer which is
appointed to tow it out to sea. The ba-
rometer will be consulted daily, SO that
the journey may be made under the most
favorable conditions. With respect to
getting the obelisk upright upon its ar
rival, it is proposed to apply hydraulic
power to each end of the obelisk, and to
raise it by that means. foot by foot, un-
til it reaches the height of twenty-nine
feet in hurizuntol pvsitiurl. A -iaokvt''
will then be put around its centre Of
gravity, with couple of trunnions fix
ed firmly to it, and all that remains to
be done afterward will be to cut the
lashings, when the massive pillar will
drop into its place on the pedestal. The
stone weighs 200 tons.

THE DEADLY EFFECT OF BAD
DRAINAGE.

There is immense carelessness up and
down the country in respect to defective
drainage. Many people are culpably
careless of dangers which do not take
visible form. If bear or wolf should
walk into mans house and carry off
one of his children, would the bereft fa-
ther content himself with grief and fu-
neral services? OF course not. Not on
lY the father, but the whole neighbor-
hood, would join in the hunt to destroy
the destroyer. But deadly miasma,
invisible to the eye. creeps into house
and carries off one after another of the
inmates, and nobody takes any definite
measures against the enemy, which comes
when it will, and kills whom it may. 1t
is "an act of God," or ''lesson against
undue earthly affections" or .'the COM
mon fate" or anything else by which
men are won't to shirk individual respon-
sibility, and load everything on the
shoulders of destiny. If the Maker of
the world had any plan. it appears to
have been that human beings should live
their lives out, grow old and fade away.
of gradual wearing out of the machin-
cry of vitality. At any rate he did not
intend that they should be poisoned by
bad drainage or neglected cess-pools.
The death of children, young persons,
and people in their strongest prime. is
wrong and wasteful and cruel, and in a
great degree, preventable. That we dc
not know all the proper means of pre-
vention is greatly our fault; we do moi
even try to learn them. That we do moi
improve upon and take advantage of the
knowledge which has been forced upor
us, is our shame, and often our bitter
sorrow.

WHITE MEMS WAGES Down SOUTH.
"A Charlestown letter says: "It would
not be we'll for laborers and mechanics
in the North to conclude that this is a
Paradise because there are no strikes.
There is very little to strike against and
very few to strike, except in agricultur-
al pursuits. On the railroads men are
doing long days work for pay which
would make New York Central train
man laugh. Nine dollars month for
brakemen and train men, fifty dollars
for conductors and seventy-6ve dollars
for engineers are about the average fig
ures. One of the roads is five months
behind with its employees, and all are in
arrears, with small prospect of ever
catching up. Mechanics are quite as
badly off. There is little to do, and
that at lower prices than were ever
known. Country newspapers can get all
the printers they want for their board
and lodging during the summer months,
and twenty-five cents per 1000 ems fol
transient work is the usual price outside
of Charlestown. Agricultural labor il

LIGHTNING's TERRORs.

To re-assure the timid and nervous in
this season Of thunder-storms, some cal
culations and directions for security,
which, from the frequent occurrence and
unusual severity of these storms, might
not be unacceptable to some of our read
ers. are given. There are 10000 chances
to | against an individuals being killed
in this way in the whole year. But
there are, perhaps, ten of these storms a
season, the chances of being killed in
any one of these storms is as 100000 to
l. At the worst, there seems to be half
a million chances against timid lady's
DhaElng her terrors realized, according to
the doctrine of chances. If she lies down
in her fright, as she is likely to do, on
either leather bed or mattress, these
chances in her favor are multiplied to
at least million. Another consolation
is that she has little to apprehend from
flash of lightning which she has leis-
ure to see.
AS light travels 227,260 miles in a
second, and sound only l,l42 feet in the
same time, you may easily compute the
distance Of the electric discharge. If
1862 seconds, or six beats of the pulse,
elapse between the lightning and the
thunder, the discharge is mile off. To
guard against possible damage, on its
near approach, you may insulate your
bed or chair by putting their legs on
glass. Feathers and hair afford great
security. There is also less danger after
the rain has begun to fall copiously than
before, because moist atmosphere serves
as conductor for the electric fluid, diff
fusing it, and conveying it to the earth.
A man who Is wet, being better con-
ductor than tree, which cannot be so
thoroughly wetted, ought not to stand
under one; and animals on account of
the moisture of their bodies, are always
better conductors than trees. But though
wrong to stand near tree, you will be
very safe little beyond the extent of
its branches position which ought to
be chosen, as the higher object will take
the lightning frst-or you might stand
on dry wood, wool or silk. The middle
of room is safer than near partition,
and this. than near the exterior wall. A
building is better protection than a
tree but barn containing wet grain or
hay is worse than the open field. Sitting

Gus. To overcome excessive alarm at
lightning not only conduces to comfort
but enables one to contemplate at ease
by far the most sublime spectacle of ma
ture.
