In the course of Professor ROod's re-
searches respecting colOrs, of which
some account was recently given in
the report Of the proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences, New
York he obtained numerical value for
the luminosity of different tints. The
results are as follows: White paper
being estimated as having a luminosity
of l0b, vermilion has % s, blue green
26 56, chrome-yellow SO.3, cobalt-blue
35-3s, green Al 10, purple II So. The
vermilion was spread over the paper
in thick paste. The Dlue-green con-
sisted of a mixture of emerald-green
and cobalt-blue, applied in thick paste.
The chrome-yellow was of the pale
kind, and was applied in a series Of
washes. after the manner of water
color painting. The cobalt was
applied in the same way as the chrome
yellow. The green was mixture OF
emerald-green and chrome-yellow, ap-
piled as thick p aste. The purple was
an aniline color.

VdpOr TOlumes.-ln the Journal of the
German Chemical Society there Is
paper by Troosr, detailing experiments
made TO determine the accuracy OF Avo-
gadrO's theory that ''equal volumes OF
substances in the state of vapOr con-
tanned the same number OF molecules"
that is, that the volume of the molecule
of hydrogea being called 2. the volume
of all other molecules must also be 2,
instead of, as happens in certain cases,
apparently 4, 6, 8. The method of ex-
pertinent adopted was TO introduce into
the vapor of of chloral hydrate salt
containing water having dissertation
tension nearly equal TO that of chloral
hydrate; if the chloral hydrate vapOr
undergoes dissertation, and consists OF
equal volumes of chloral and aqueous
vapors, then the vapor volume Will re-
main constant: but if chloral hydrate
is volatile as such, its vapor will be free
from water, and on introducing the salt
it will give up water, and the volume
of vapor will increase till the dissocia-
ton tension is reached. The salt used
was potassium oxalate, containing one
molecule of water. Troost has found
that the volume increases on the addition
of the oxalate, leading him therefore
to the conclusion that chlOral hydrate
undergoes volatilization without decom-
position.

Specific and Melting Heat Of Platinum.
Nj. Wolfe states that the quantity of
heat yielded by 10 grains OF platinum
from the melting point to 80 Fah.-the
average temperature of the calOrimetric
liquid in the eexperimedl-is 1864. The
temperature of fusion of platinum is
323i'2, but the increase of specific heat
OF the metal with the temperature is
accelerated, doubtless. in the neighbor-
hood of the fusing point, the platinum
passing through pasiy state before be-
coming liquid. The true temperature
of fusion should therefore be somewhat
less than the number thus obtained.
The latent heat of fusion of platinum is
so s. The melting point OF silver is
1892.

Most of US have had trouble all of our
lives, and each day has brought all the
evil that we wished to endure. But II
we were asked to recount the sorrows OF
our lives, how many could we remem-
berr How many that are six months
old should we think worthy to be re-
membered or mentioned? To-day's
troubles look large, but a week hence
they will be forgotten and buried out of
sight.
"If you would keep book, and every
day put down the things that worry
you, and see what becomes of them, it
woald be benefit to you. You allow
a thing to annoy you, jnst as you allow
a fly to settle on you and plague you;
and you loose your temper (or rather
get it; far when men are surcharged
with temper they are said to have lost
iD and you justify yourself for being
thrown of your balance by causes which
you do not trace out. But fyou would
see what was that threw you of your
balance before breakfast, and put down
in little book, and follow it out, and
ascertain what becomes oft, you would
see what fool you were in the matter"
The art of forgetting is blessed art,
but the art of overlooking is quit as i'm
portant. And if we should take time TO
write down the origin, progress, and
outcome of a few of our troubles, 1t
would make us so ashamed of the fuss
we make over them, that we should be
glad to drop such things and bury them
at once in eternal forgetfulness.
Life Is too short to be worn out in
petty worries, frettings, hatreds, and
vexations. Let us Danish all these, and
think Of whatsoever things are pure,
and lovely, and gentle, ard of good
report.

To Do UP OLD SBAwLs.-Scrspe one
pound of soap. boil it down in sufficient
water. When cooling, beat it with the
hand; it will be a sort of jelly. Add
three tablespoonfuls of spirits of tur-
pentine and one of spirits of hartshOrn.
Wash the articles thoroughly in il. then
rinse in cold water until all the soap is
taken of, then In salt and water. Fold
between two sheets, taking care not TO
allow two folds of the article washed TO
lie together. Mangle, and iron with
very cool iron. Shawls done in this
way look like new. Only use the salt
where there are delicate colors that may
strike.

To BRoIL OYSTERS. correspondent
writes TO the World from Mobile the
following: Ills no wonder that oysters
object to being cooked in that manner.
Now, with Us, as the children cry for
the Early Ri d Vermifuge and mourn
because Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup
is denied them, so do our divine crusta-
ceans grow unhappy and hang their
heads in sorrow when they find they
are TO be eaten raw. Now let me tell
you how we broil oysters here. Given
double gridiron that folds together
and sufficient number of the bivalve
in puris ndturGlibus to roll them in any
thing is TO spoil them; grease the bars
of the grid-iron, which prevents their
sticking; then dip each indiviiual-as
Audubon always said in reference to
birds-into melted butter; place them
on the utensil. A brisk fire of charcoal
is OF course necessary. over which they
are to be broiled. Meantime they should
be constantly basted with butter. When
done, serve on very hot toast and
dishes, and you have n dish that Brillat-
Savarin, with ali his gastronomic ideas,
never thought of, and which woald
have driven him mad with envy.

How TO Cook AND SERVE TIE CANVAS
BACK.-Upon the table, the canvas-back
makes royal dish, though few can dis
tinguish between it aud the red
when both are in season. Only those
very familiar with the birds can tell
which Is which when alive, and, when
served, 1t becomes almost an impos-
sibility. The celery flavor is more
marked in the canvas back in the best
of the season. Ii is seldom served pre-
cisely as it should be anywhere out of
Maryland. II allowed TO remain in the
oven five minutes too long, it is unfit
for the table. A great deal also depends
upon the carving. A good quick oven
will cook full-sized duck ia twenty
two minutes. It should never remain
in over twenty-five. After a duck il
picked and drawn, it should be simply
wiped dry. Water should never touch
it. anu il should be fairly seasoned be-
fore going TO the fire. When done, the
birds should be placed in pairs in hot.
dry dishes. There is no need TO prepare
gravy; Immediately they are cut,
they will fill the dish with the richest
gravy that ever was tasted. One canvas
back to each "cover" is considered a
fair allowance at Maryland table. but
when the bird is only an incident of the
dinner or supper, of course half bird
is sufficient for each person. Slicing
he bird is unheard Of The two-pronged
fork is inserted diagonally astride the
east-bone, and the knife lays half OF
the bird on each side, leaving the ''car-
cass" on the fork between. The Il iiangle
of meat an inch thick comprised between
the leg and the wing, with its apex at
the back and its base at the breast, is
considered the most delicious morsel Of
meat that exists. The canvas-back in
Maryland is served with large bominy
tried in cakes, celery, and dry cham
payne, or a bottle of Burgundy that is

HUHUBOUx

HIS TITLE AT COURr.-Robert Heller,
in one of his recent bewildering per-
fnrmsnces, alluded to the "darkiry aud
blackity" of certain proceedings of the
Ring" men OF this city. it reminds
us of the general turpitude that prevails
in some of the frontier towns of Texas,
and the hilarious character of the local
jailer thereabOuts-letu us say at Antonio.
whence comes the following sketch:
Not long since a young man with
blonde hair, a freckled nose, and other
marks of personal attractiveness applied
to the Deputy Sheriff for a pass to see
his father, who he had reason to sup
pose was an inmate of the county Jail.
"What's your name?" asked the Off
Ger, turning Ia his register.
''l'm Jim M'Snifter, from the Arroyo,
Colorado"
"what peculiar kind Of playfulness
has your feyther been amusin' himself
at-murder in the first degree?"
"Wusser than that" was the M'Snif-
terian response.
All levity vanished from the face Of
the officer, who was really a kind
hearted man, and there was human
sympathy, and, perhaps, tear in his
eye, as he turned over page, and said,
in a low voice.
''Wo. Sc than murder? My God! he
must have stole a ponyW
''lt was some misunderstanding about
newell" observed NJ 'onifter, Jr.,
Furnishing his cOwhide boots with his
'quirt.
"rhere are none of the McSnifters in
Jail. Maybe I've got a capias for you. +"
81 bleeve in the last Indictment the
old mans name was spelt Bob White.
The title of the suit is the State agin
White"
'Why didn't you say so at once? You
mean this is his title at court. Why,
certainly. just you come along and
I'll present you to his royal Majesty.
He is in the ground cell. just come
along. L want TO see if the old rooster
hasn't been trying to saw his hobbies
off,"
And buckling on his armor, the
deputy sheriff conducted the crown
prince across the square to the castellated
summer palace of his parlent.-Hdyper's s

Two MEN driving an old horse in a
cart and having barrel behind the
seat, attempted 70 turn. It was a dismal
failure. The cart went over, the horse
went down, and the barrel rolled away.
while the two men were so tangled up
that they could not eXtricate themselves.
Nine men reached the spot simuItane-
Ously and eight of them rushed 10 see if
the barrel was injured, while the ninth
halted midway between the barrel and
the struggling victims and called ont:
sis that whisky in the barrel?" "No;
It's vinegar" answered one of the pair.
"'ris, ehg Well, 1 suppose we'll have
to lift that cart up" sighed the ninth,
as he walked around it.

SCIENTIFIC.

General Henry L. Abbott, recently gave
an account, la New York, of his series
of experiments to test the rate at which
tremors from explosions are transmitted
through the earth. The experiments
have been conducted in connection with
the work at Hallet's Point, and the pro-
ceedings of the United States Engineer
school of Application at Willet's Point,
Long Island. The vibrations or tremors
passed through the earth of Long
lslaud-a drift formation. The tables
of results are elaborate, and show a
much higher rate of transmission than
was heretofore conceded. The follow
ing are the conclusions; In such obser-
vations a high magnifying power of
telescope is essential. The more violent
the initial shock the higher is the rate.
This rate diminishes as the wave adj
vances. For one mile, through drift
formation, severe shock gives velo-
city of say s 800 feet per second. The
rate for the great Hallet's Point explo-
sion was about s, 300 feet per second fer
the first eight miles, and about $500
feet per second for the first thirtee,.
miles. These conclusions are supported
by much additional evidence that can
not be stated in tabular form. The
observations are made upon quantities
of mercury, the surfaces OF which show
the disturbances. As yet, no distinc-
ton of results between transmission
through the earth and through water
has been ascerlained. The present
estimates enormously exceed those
given by Mr.. Mallet, reported several
years ago to the Royal Society; the

AN FRESHMAN and a Scotchman began
to banter each other about sculling, and
at once made match, which came off
on the Clyde. When the time arrived,
each man was at the post, and when
the pistol fired both made steady start.
Before they had gone far, the Scotch
man put a couple of boat-lengths
between him and his opponent. Seeing
he was going to have an easy victory,
he rested upon his sculls and allowed
his adversary to pass him. AS soon as
Pat got ahead a short distance, he
shouted. "Youph, come on, nOw!"
Scotty put on squirt, and gained the
winning-post first by about a dozen
boat-lengths. As soon as they landed,
