Recent American Earthquakes.

Professor c. g. lockwood, Jr., con.
tributes a record of the earthquake.
which have occurred on the American
continents from May 10, 1876, TO No
vember Is, 1877. These aggregate
about 65 distinct shocks, the distribution
of which is approximately rs follows
California, l3; Territories, 8; Canada
and the Eastern States, 8; Southern
States, s; Western States, z; Middle
States, A; Central America, 5; South
America, z; West Indie s, I, and Sand
witch Islands, 2
The severest earthquakes reported are
those which occurred on May 10 and
November 4, 1877. The first was series
of severe shocks lasting four or five
minutes, and followed by a destructive
tidal wave along the coast of Peru and
Chilli. On the Peruvian coast the wave
was from 20 to so feet high, and caused
immense destruction in the harbors. 1t
is supposed to have originated near
lquique, and its aversge rate of pro-
gress was to Callao, 22s miles per hour
to San Francisco, 34s miles; to Homo
lulu, 4Os miles, and TO Australia, 37s
miles.
The earthquake which occurred on
November 4, was felt throughout a
large part OF Canada, New York and
New England. In some places it lasted
for 20 seconds; reports from others fix
its duration at four or five minutes. In
the valley of the ST. Lawrence river the
vibration was sufficient to overturn
crOckery, crack ceilings, and in a few
cases to throw down chimneys.

Eyes of Star Gazers.

1t is an interesting fact that there are
very few persons in the world possess
ing peculiar keeness of vision ena-
bling them to see certain planets with
the unaided eye. People with the or
dinary power of sight usually see six OF
the stars of the Pleiades; Kepler men,
tions one person, who, with the naked
eye, could see fourteen. and Littrow
another who saw sixteen. DIR. Dawes,
an English clergyman and astronomer,
was remarkable for his powers of dis
tinguishing very faint spots of light,
and Mr.. Q. NJ. Ward, an amateur as
tronomer, in the north of Ireland, il

viewed two of the four moons of IRA
nus with so small and simple a help

Mr.. 5. w, Burnham, of Chicago, is no
ted for the particularly acute vision
which reveals to him double stars. The
astronomers of other lands often call
upon him to decide vexed questions re-
lating to these stars.

THE GREAT DISCOVERY.

But comparatively few of the forty millions
Of people in the United States have as yet
heard Of that most wonderful discovery, Car
bollne, whereby the growth and vlgor as well
as the natural color Of the hair Is restored !;
but the tens of thousands who have already
knowledge Of the article are speaking its
praise and soon Carboline will become 9
household word throughout the length and
breadth of the land
A few facts connected with the history of
Carboline will prove interesting to our read
ers. /. 1t was by the untldy habit OF ser
want, who when trimming the lamps, always
wiped his oily hands on his scsnty locks that

gan to show a good head OF hair and the Sc
cret was out 2. But the best refined petro-
leum cannot be used as q hair dressing and
the chemists art had to be employed so as to
destroy the offensive odor, and at the same
time retain the subtle qualities which gave
health to the scalp aud natural color and vigor

the production of CarbolIne. which is deodor-
riZed petroleum. 3. Every one who hes han

of the most beautiful colOrs ever known. and

Carboline changes the color of the hair chemi-
cally, or through its healing effects upon the

change results from restoring the growth to
its natural strength and vIgor by removing
dandruff, cleansing the scalp and imparting

The Atchison (Kan.) Champion of
Jan. 80 has the following relative to a
couple. who were divorced in that city
on the day previous: 1.-The parties
live in Atchison county, and have al
ways been reputed especially respecta-
ble-people of wealth and standing. and
the divorce was granted yesterday
without alimony or other relief. The
wife was the plaintiff, and she is now
about 30 years old; the defendant is
about 60. The parties lived in Indiana,
and when they were married the wife
was less than Is, while the husband
was 80. One child was the fruit of this
marriage, and for a time they lived
happily together. Then the wife ac-
cused the husband of infidelity and in
stituted proceedings for divorce, and,
as he interposed no defence, a divorce
was granted, and 81 900 alimony. Both
married again, and moved TO separate
States. The new wife of the old man
absconded with a lightning-rod ped
dler, and the young wife's husband
elOped with a strange woman. A year
or two after this the man moved TO
Texas and engaged in the Texas cattle
trade, and coming to Kansas with
drove of cattle, by a strange chance
met his former wife in Atkinson. They
became reconciled to each other again,
and undertook to live together once
more, Squire Jackson uniting them as
husband and wife. 1t seems that the
husband had got divorce from the
wife who eloped with the lightning rod
peddler, but the wife had not been so
particular. They were now living in
Atchison county, duly and legally mar
ried, when great religious revival oc-
CURED in their vicinity and both be-
came imbued with spirit of religion.
Under this influence the wife confessed
her shortcomings to the minister, and
he recommended that they live sepa-
rate and apart. Again separation oc-
CURED, including a division of all the
property. In a short time the religious
excitement wore away, and once more
they Joined their fortunes as husband
and wife, living together until few
months ago. Then the wife came into
the District Court and sued for di-
vOrce on the grounds of neglect and ILL
treatment, with the results as above
stated"

SCIENTIFIC.

Project for Increasing the Water Polcer
Of Pennsyiranid.-The head waters of
the Pennsylvania streams are not very
much higher nor are they far distant
from the rapids at Niagara Falls, and
the suggestion of increasing the water
power of the State of PENNSYLVANIA to
an almost unlimited extent by using
the power of the Niagara Falls TO force
a supply from the head of the rapids
across to the head waters of that State
is believed TO be feasible. The water
power which could thus be thrown into
the head waters of the Ohio and Susaue-
hanna to be used a hundred times over
would be of incalculable value to that
great industrial State, while Its cost
would be but a trifle compared with
steam, more especially now that
dams and water wheels already exist.
The same principle of supplying power
TO other streams, but by steam power.
it is believed will be found feasible, es-
pecially where the stream is so rapid
and the dams so numerous as to COM
pletely use the water when furnished.
The water leaving the Connecticut at
Holyoke, Mass, turns the water wheels
tor mills located upon six different ter
races, so that the same water is used six
times over in a distance of less than two
miles.

apparatus for administering Medicine to
HorSes.-As it is generally useless to
attempt to persuade a horse 10 take
medicine voluntarily, owing to his
equine inability to appreciate its advan-
tages, combined with dislike for the
taste, mechanical means are sometimes
resorted TO. The latest consists of a
wooden gag bit, which is placed in the
horses mouth and suitably attached to
the headstall. By pulling cord the
gag is turned by lever, compelling the
animal to open Its mouth. The stem of
the medicine receptacle, which look
like an exaggerated tobacco pipe, is
then inserted in hole in the bit and
clamped therein. Then, by opening a
a valve in the receptacle, the medicine
previously placed in the bowl runs
down the horses throat. Also in the
stem is kind of fork, which, when a
pill is to be administered, holds the
same until it is washed down by water
poured into the bowl.

of Scandinavia the boring of arteslan
wells is done by means of jet of water.
A description of the process is given in
Dingler's Polytechnishes Journal. The
stones in the diluvial ground, which
are a hindrancc TO such operations, are
thrust to one side if small; if large,
they are shattered with dynamite. and
the boring is thereafter proceeded with.

CUTTING AND BINDING WHEAT.-A
great deal has been written about the
proper time TO cut wheat. Whatever
difference of opinion there may be as TO
the quality of early or late cut wheat,
all are agreed that ripened wheat will
not stand wet weather like that cut
earlier. For any purpose, except for
seed, we should cut it just after the
grain has passed into the doughty state.
Ii makes brighter, plumper grains and
better flour, and there is decided gain
in quantity. But the point we wish to
make here is that the early cut wheat,
well bound and shocked, will stand
much longer than the ripe during wet
weather. In binding, sheaves should
not be made too large. Smaller sheaves
make better shock every way. The
shock can be put together more snugly,
and as more sheaves can be put into it,
a better circulation of air is provided
for, so that if the rain should penetrate,
it will dry out quicker. Aim to make
the sheaves of such size that two of
them made into caps will effectually
cover the other ten of the dozen.

CURE FOR DAMP WALLs.-It is said
(and in some cases where it has been
tried it has been found successful that
if damp wall is washed over on the
outside with sulphuric acid and water,
in the proportion of one TO six, it will
not, after such dressing, show any
symptoms of damp.
