A Balloon with Wings and Tail.

M. Menier, an inventor of military hot air balloon, recently delivered in London lecture on war time aeronau- tics. In conducting experiments at Woolwich, his aim had been to find a balloon which could ascend and decend rapidly for prolonged period, could be steered, and could proceed against the wind. Rejecting hydrogen gas as an int1ating medium because it could not be generated in the air and escaped very freely, compressed air for the same reason, and mechanical force as cumbrous and unavoidable, he chose hot air, because, although it requires greater cubical capacity, the material employed for the balloon need not be specially prepared. and is therefore lighter and less liable to spontaneous combustion. By employing a special kind of fuel, the balloon can be kept in the air for 20 or 9 hours, while con- siderable changes occur in the density of the air, and consequent rapid ascents and decents, are rendered easy. To his balloon which is spherical in shape, M. Menier affixes wings all round except in front, and tail behind, managed by the aerOnaut, acts as rudder. His balloon can be made to travel against contrary winds, and when this is not practicable, it will tack to and fro like ship.

A Honey Comb.

There are three bodies and only three that can be placed close together with out leaving any insterstices; these are the perfect square, the equilateral tri- angle, and the hexahedron, sixsided figure. No other forms can be placed together without some instertices being left. And the third, the hexahedron, is at once the strongest and most capcious. Now, how remarkable it is, that the bee has chosen the hexahedron, and that every comb in hive of bees is that which contains the greatest amount of honey in the least possible space, and leaves no interstices Helper, the math- ematician, calculated the angel that must be at the bottom of the cell, in order to ascertain what would be the best to form the base of hexahedron comb the most capacious and most fitted for juxtaposition with others; and the very demonstration which mathemati- cal calculation proved is exactly realized in every comb we find in the bee hive. We have therefore in the bee and in the hive, and all the exquisite adjustments by which they are characterized, the traces of palpable design-the evidence of an existing and wise God.

Printing Before the Flood.

A great deal has been said, says the London Echo, as to the inventor of the art of the art of printing, the period when the invention first saw the light, and the locality where it was born. Two or three of these points, however, need not excite discussion. It is good while since the remark that "there is nothing new under the sun" was made, but anterior to that remote per iod-namely, some 4,000 years ago the first printing machine existed in Babylon! If the proof be required of this rather startling assertion it may easily be found for it exists no further off than Trinity College, Cambridge. In that place there is preserved solid cylindrical figure about seven inches in length and three inches in diameter at each end. On the surface of this and finely wrought characters are en- graved, and these are ranged in verti- cal lines. It is, therefore, striking example of the ingenuity of the an- ClohIS, auu Sho"s IioAl HAoCiAou oA pA0- serving and multiplying national Or family records. It is quite evident from the indented letters of the Baby lonian printing machine-for such it really is-that some means of applying pressure to it was in use among the Ninevite 'typos;'' this being so, the primitive appliance at Cambridge must be said to embody the identical princi- pie of the newspaper machines of the | present day.

HUMOROUS.

Cor ALL HE WANTED.-Not many years ago, when a lofty building was on the point of completion, the mason who was finishing the highest portion was in the habit of whistling to the laborer who was attending him when ever he wanted fresh supply of lime, and, as the scaffold on which he wrought was rather small this occurred very often during a days work. A joiner who was fitting in a window i'm mediately underneath, noticing Pat answer Atifrlly to every whistle from the masohS stliOught of playing a trick oii hiW py Initiating the whistle, and thus brougnt him up with hodful of The mason told Pat that he had not whistled, so he had no other alternative than to Urudge back with his load. Tn is having occurred for third time during one day, Pat thought he would watch and hear where the whistle came from. He hadn waited long with the hod on his shoulder when he heard the identical whistle directly underneath where he stood, and, leaning over, he saw the, head of the joiner protruding out of the window immediately. below. Pat, without. more ado,f emptied the hod right over the whistler's head. The joiner yelled and spluttered while at tempting to clear himself of the adhe- sive mass, and, in the midst of his confusion, heard Paddy above shouting at the top of his voice, "Whistle when you want more mortar!'

"Couldn't Lie for that MOney."

A story is told of a young Waterville Me-, lawyer, who was of convivial turn, who had in his hands a number of un- settled accounts against an old farmer in the vicinity, who never paid any debts until he was sued, and then only after loud outcries against the lawyers for 'grinding the faces of the poor" One day he came to settle bill, when the lawyer offered to discount him q dollar and q half if he would go into the street, mingle with all the groups of people whom he might meet and lead the conversation up to a point where he could incidentally remark that he (the lawyer) was a sharp and worthy fellow. The old man wanted the money but finally he said impressively esquire Pm very old man and have done many wicked things in my life: but with my views of eternity l can't lie for that money" The dollar and a half was discounted without eXtorting any recompense therefor.

Soul and Stu bstance.

Science thus far may be said to have
 dealt exclusively with the world of the
 senses. Concerning things which can
 be seen, touched, weighed and mea- : sured, it has accumulated an immense
 store of information. By the aid of the telescope 1t has sounded the depths of 1 the starry universe, and with the micro-
 scope it has examined the minutest forms of insect life. It has computed thesb of the planets, the dimensions of the ultimate atoms of matter, and the length of the waves of light. It analyses the composition of the sun as it does that of the food we eat, and ex- plains with equal clearness the tides of the ocean and the circulation of the blood. But of the vast inner world with which the soul is immediately con- cerned, it has as yet discovered nothing. Our knowledge of the realms of thought and emotion is no greater than was that of Plato and Aristotle, and the term metaphysics is now, as it always has been, a synonyme for baseless specula- tion. The result is, that multitudes utterly deny the existence of anything within and above sensible matter, and refer all mental action to notifications of tho bodily organs, while the belief ot others in regard to the subject is rather an inherited superstition than 8 convic- ztionsof reason. Is there any hope that this ignorance may be dispelled, and the; way be found out. of the darkness which surrounds us?
 The simple fact that the body yields
 as we know'it does, to the soul, and is used as its instrument, goes to show that there is a community of nature be. tween them.7 "A is.man sitting quietly in a chair, and it occurs to him that il would be pleasant to read book which lies on table at his side. He accord, fFctf 50 r-7 a.t

Hating PeOnIe.

Hate not. It is not worth while. Your life is not long enough to make it pay to cherish ill will or hard thoughts toward anyone. What if that man has cheated you, or that woman played you false? What if this friend has forsaken you in your time of need, or that one having won your utmost confidence, your warmest love, has concluded that he prefers to consider and treat you as a stranger? Let it all pass. What diff ference will it make to you in a few years, when you go hence to the ''un- discovered country?" All who treat you wrong now will be more sorry for it then than you, even in your deepest disappointment and grief can be. A few more smiles, few more tears, some pleasure, much pain, little longer hurrying and worrying in the world, some nasty greetings and ab- rupt farewells, and life will be over, and the injurer and injured will be laid away, and ere long forgotten. Is it worth while to hate each other?

Arctic cold-Its Effect on the Human System

When snow becomes hard as rock, it's surface take granular conscience like sugar Where it lies with it's massive wreaths frozen in the form of pillows, our steps resound, as we walk over them, with the sound as of drum. The ice is so hard that it emits ringing sound; wood becomes wonderfully
 hard, splits, and is as difficult to cut as
 bone; butter becomes like stone; Meat must be split, and mercury may be fired as bullet from gun. If cold thus acts on things without life, how much more must it influence living organisms and the power of mans will :! Geld lowers the beat of the pulse,
 weakens the bodily sensations, dimin- ishes the capacity of movement and of enduring great fatigue. Of all the senses, taste and smell most lose their force and pungency, the mucous mem- brane being in constant state of con- gestiOn and excessive secretion. After time decrease of muscular power is perceptible! If one is exposed suddenly to an excessive degree of cold, in | voluntarily one shuts the mouth and breathes through the nose; the cold air seems at first to pinch and pierce the organs of respiration. The eyelids
 freeze even in calm weather, and to prevent their closing we have con- stantly to clear them. from ice, and the beard alone is less frozen than other parts of the body, because the breath as it issues from the mouth falls down as snow. Snow-spectacles are dimmed by the moisture of the eyes, and when the thermometer falls 37 deg. (C.) below zero they are as opaque as frost-covered windows. The cold, however, is most painfully felt in the soles of the feet, when there is a cessation of exercise. Nervous weakness, torpor, and drowsi- ness follows, which explains the con- nection which is usually found between resting and freezing. The most im- party, which has such exertions to make at a very low temperature, is to stand still as little as possible. The ex- cessive cold which is felt in the soles of the feet during the noon-day rest is the main reason why afternoon marches make such a demand on the moral power. Great cold also alters the char acter of the excretions, thickens the blood, and increases the need of nour- ishment from the increased expenditure of carbon. And while precipitation ceases entirely, the secretion of the mucous membranes of the nose and eyes is permanently increased, and the urine assumes almost deep red color. At first the bowels are much confined, a state which, after continuing for five and sometimes eight days, passes into diarrhea. The bleaching of the beard under these influences is curious fact.

A Memorable Council.

The smoke of the emblematic fire, lit by one of the Indians, curled up from the earthen floor of the council house and rose, blue pillar, in the motionless October air. The red men sat around it silent, looking at the consuming embers, while through the open door sounded from time to time the light rustic of the falling leaf. Then uprose Noh -sahl. and said in the Seneca language:
 Brothers: 1 will first say few words. We have come as representatives of the Seneca nation to participate in the ceremonies of the day. In this ancient council-house, before it's removal to this spot, our fathers, sachems and chiefs, often met to deliberate on mat ters of moment to our people in the village of Ga-o-yah-d [Caneadea]. We are here to rake over the ashes on it's hearth, that we may find perchance single spark with which to rekindle the fire, and cause the smoke again to rise above this roof, as in days that are past. r The smoke is curling upward, and the memories of the past are en- wreathed with it.
 Brothers When the confederacy of the Iroquois was formed, smoke was raised which ascended so high that all the nations saw it and trembled. This league was formed, it may be, long before the kingdom of Great Britain had any political existence.
 Our fathers of the Ho- de-no-saw e (LOng Housel were once @ powerful nation. They .lorded it over a vast territory, comprising the whole of the state of New York. Their power was felt from the Hudson to the banks of the Mississippi, and from the great basins of sweet water of the north to the bitter waters of the Mexican Gulf. We have wasted away to 8 remnant of what we once were. But, though feeble in numbers, the Iroquois are represen- ted here. We have delegates from the MOhawks, who were the keepers of the eastern door of the long house, and of the Senecas, who were the guardians of the western door. When the big guns of General Sullivan were heard in this valley, we were one people. But the tribes of the Iroquois are scattered, and will be seen no more. B.
 Brothers: We are holding council, perhaps for the last time, in Jenisheu. This beautiful territory was once our own. The bones of our fathers are strewn thickly under it's sod, But all this land has gone from their grasp for ever. The fate and the sorrows of my people should force 8 sigh from the stOutest heart.
 Brothers: We came here to perform 8 ceremony, but cannot make it such. My heart says that this is not play or a pageant. It is 8 solemn reality to me, and not mockery of days that are past and can never return. Neh-hoh- this is all.
 Such is now the unvarying burden of Seneca eloquence. It is the voice of 8 moribund nation in the agonies of dis solution /; but with all its faculties alive and stung to bitter consciousness of it's state and fate. Let no one inn agine that the death of nation may be painless. To the last member that survives, the dying body polite be- gueaths it's concentrated capacity to feel and suffer. The tragedy of Pc. lend, at which the whole world mourn. ed, has its secret scenes in the heart o1 the Seneca Indian to- o-day.-Scribner.
