upon the British government in the per.
son of Under-Sccretary Cross. The OBJ
iect was to lay before him some facts in
connection with what was called the
sweating system" One Of the dclega-
ton said he had seen instances in which
garments were lying on n bed in which
fever patients were suffering. There
were n great many instances in which
things had taken place They considered
that il an employer got people to take
work home, he should be bound to get
the place to which it was taken registered,
and hoped Mr.. Cross could zee his way
clear to make it imperative that every

GREAT reliance has been placed on the
use OF the tungstatc Of soda to render
scenery in theaters nOn-inilammablc. II
appears that there is considerable I'M
certainty in the action of this salt, and
hence a danger of being lulled into Il
false security in its use. In lectures at
the royal institution its supposed aft
cacy had been demonstrated before au-
diences, and DR.. Wright caused one of
his assistants, clothed in a muslin dress
that had been prepared with the tung-
state, TO walk about in the midst of
flames. The experiment was repeated
by DR.. Wright at South Kensington, and
then, much to his establishment, the dress
took fire and was entirely consumed.
By what seems something more than
mere good fortune, a dummy had been
substituted for the man in this last ex
peri'nent. Why the tungstate failed to
prevent the clothes from taking fire, is
not known. 1t is believed that no mis-
take was made in applying it.

turer said that Mr.. Moody and Senator

that the Jews crucilied Christ, called out
the statements he would make in refuta

SAID he would assume, for the sake of an
argument that all contained in the New

and, having assumed the form OF man,
he must be considered az any other mem,

down knowingly to be put to death and
1t was necessary for his plans that his
divine nature should remain n secret.
The question then was, did the Jews

nation? do they rejoice in having par-
tlcipated in it? The lecturer went into
an elaborate argument to show that the
whole narrative of Christ IS apprehension
trial, conviction and execution, as re-
lated in st Marks gospel, are at square
issue with the known facts governing
the Hebrew law in such cases. There
could be no doubt but what christ as
PRED to be the Messiah, or Savior of his
people. He performed many miracles,
but nearly all Of them took place in the
wild mountains of Gallilcc where people
were extremely ignorant. Rabbis, too

IN his address as president Of the Liv-
erpool Geological society, Mr.. Mellard
Rcade offered some data for calculating
the length of geological periods. He
made Il careful estimate of the amount of
solid matter washed down by the
Thames per year; the figures very closely
agreeing with those which Prestwich OBJ.
tanned. Similar calculations were made
by Mr.. Rcade for other rivers. The
Thames is credited with washing away
one hundred and forty.scycn tons per
square mile every year, the Rhine, 92.3
tons; the lthone two hundred and
thirty'two tons; the Danube, TT tons;
the Garonne, one hundred forty.two
tons; the Seine, ninety-seven tons.
Probably one hundred tons of rock ma
tcrial are dissolved per square mile
every year, Of which half may be cal
cium carbonate, Il fifth calcium suIphatc,
seven tons silica, Of magnesia carbonate
and sulphatc and sodium chloride four
tons each, and six tons of other alkaline
carbonatcs and suIphates. Taking the
solids removed mechanically at six times
those in solution Ca high estimate), the
total denudatien on the globe would be
six hundred tons year per square
mile. One'third may be added to this
Tor denudation effected by the sea on its
coasts and for the amount that volcanic |
eruptions add to given stratum.
Carrying out this calculation for the
sedlmentary crust Of the earth estimated |
at ten miles in thickness, its production
may have occupied 526, 100000 years.
This evidently includes the assumption
that the denuding action was rs slow in
distant geological epochs as at present.

from such data the number of millions

This singular man lived in Greece. He
was distinguished for his ecccntricitics bad
manners, and bad disposition. 1t was his
chief business To find fault. For example,
he took lantern one day when the sun was
thinning brightly and went out to search for
an honest man, thereby insinuating that
such persons were exceedingly scarce. When
Alexander distinguished military gentle>
man, paid him visit, and inquired what he
could do for him, he had the impudcnce to
tell him to "get out Of his sunshine" To
cap the climax OF his oddities, he dressed
like beggar and lived in tub He was a
sour, grabbed, crusty old bachelor. We infer
that he had no wife, first, because history
does not mention her; second, because no
woman would take kindly to one of his hab.
its, dress, or manners, or aspire to become
mistress of his mansion. "There was an old
women who lived in shoe" it is true, but
the woman who would live IN Tub, and es-
Fcclally with such companion, has not
been heard from. The msanthrOpic spirit
winch possessed this man was doubtless due
to disordered digestion and bilousness,
one oil the prominent symptoms of which is a
mOrOse, fault finding disposition. The tongue
IS heavily coated giving rise to a bad taste,
the appetite is not good and the patient
feels dull, sleepy or dizzy, and is apt to be
lretful. Unfortunately, Mr.. Diogencs lived
