MEMORY BELLS,

oh. don't you remember the orchard, Maud,
And the gnarly old tree by the gate;
And the apples that came when the blooms
were gone,
Which the worms and the children ate?
Oh, don't remember how it struck the
worms, dear Maud,
But / mind just how awfully felt
When they carried me home in bow knot,
Maud,
With peck of apples under my belt.
Oh, don't you remember the meadow-lot,
Maud,
And the brooklet that rippled from the
spring,
Where the buttercups cleaned in the clover

And we listened to the meadow lark sings

days,
But got up and busted when found
That I'd sat right down where some humble
bees Maud,
Were just coming out of the ground.
Oh. don't you remember the hillside, Maud,
Where we hunted for the brown thrush 8
eggs?
And the little red ants by the million, Maud,
Used to crawl up fellows trousers legs?

Maud,

Buta man of my age can forget you bet,
A blamed sight more than he'll remember.

RECENT AMERICAN EARTHQUAKES.

Professr C.. G.. lockwood. Jr.. co.,
tributes to the American Journal Of
Science and Arts record Of the
earthquakes which have occurred on
the American continents from May
10. 1875, TO November Is, 1877. These
aggregate about 65 distinct shocks.
the distribution of which is approxi-
mately as follows: California, IL:
Territories. Q; Canada and Eastern
States. 8; Southern States. s; Western
States. Z; Middle States. 4: Central
America, 3; South America, Z; West
Indies. 3, and Sandwich Islands. 2.
The severest earthquakes reported
are those which occurred on May 19
and November 4. 1917. The first was
a series of severy shocks lasting four
or five minutes and followed by des-
tructive tidal wave along the coast Of
Peru aud Chill. On the Peruvian
coast the wave was from % to so feet
high, and caused immense destruction
in the harbOrs. 1t is supposed TO have
originated near Iquique, and its
average rate Of progress was to Callao
228 miles per hour. to San FraHciscO
348 miles, to Honolulu 40S miles, and
to Australia 378 miles.

HOW TO MAKE PEPSlN.

Obtain, from any hog butcher, one
half dozen dissected membranes of
the stomach of the hog, and cut or
mince them up finely; and macerate
IN menstrum of part muriatic acid
to 80 Of water, for ten or twelve
hours. Decant the liquid, and re-
macerate the membrane in a fresh
portion of water and acid; throw the
whole on 4 strainer mix the filtrates
together. and add to it quantity of
table salt, until a separation of pepsin
ceases to take place. The pepsin i'm
pregnated with sodium chloride will
float on the surface. This is collected
and placed on muslin, folded several
times. and submitted to pressure, to
free it from adhering moisture. The
strength Of the moist pepsin can be
readily obtained by the power of dis
solving albumen; and it's strength can
be apportioned accordingly, by simply
mixing it with sugar of milk, so that
grain can be made to dissolve 5, 10,
Is, or 20 grains of coagulated albu-
men.
The price asked for standard pepsin
by wholesale druggists, varies from
o. TO 70 cents per ounce; at which
prices handsome margin is left for
the manufacturers. see no reason
why pepsin, of the strength of those
now considered standard, cannot be
made for at least one half the price,
and afford the druggists apprentices
some means of recreation from their
otherwise monOtOnOuS duties.
The above remarks are general in
their character, and are written in the
hope that they will stimulate retail
apothecaries to rely more on their
own ability to make preparations of
this kind than has heretofore been
the case.-Phitadelpia Druggist and
Chemist.

fLooulNc THE DESERT OF SAHARA.

FLOODING THE DESERT OF SAHARA.
Mr.. Donald Mackenzie, at a recent
meeting at Bradford. described his
scheme for forming canal across the
Great Desert. OF the vast plain or
hollow in the desert, known as Ell Juf,
the greatest length of the depression
is about 500 miles, the breath about
12O, and the area about $4,000 square
miles. This vast area is depressed
about 200 feet below sea level. This
depression was formerly connected
with the Atlantic Ocean by the chan
mel Sakiet Ell Hanna. or Red Channel,
which had in process Of time been
blocked up with sand. It was pro-
posed to reopen this channel and let
in the sea, which would cover the
great areaabove described and enable
commerce. to be carried on with places
in the interior, rich in produce of
various kinds. The submerging Of
the basin of Ell Juf would open up a
navigable highway for the commerce
of the world to the heart of Africa,
and present an extensive field for the
influence of civilization.

EXPERIMENTS WITH FLOATING MAC
NETS

Professor A. M. Mayer describes,
in the American Journal of Science
and Arts, some entertaining and easily
performed experiments in magnetism.
Several sewing needles, of No. or 6
size, are magnet, led with the same
polarity, SO that all their points are
n. Each needle is passed into a
small cork that will just float it up
right: the corks may be Ia inch long
and $40 inch across. The eye of the
needle should barely be above the
surface of the cork. Three, four or
more of these needles are thus to be
foated in q basin of water and the n.
pole of a large cylindrical magnet is
to be brought down over them. They
will Immediately take geometrical
positions, the figure formed being
smallest when the magnet above is
brought most closely to them.
Three needles thus take position at
the points Of an equalized triangle;
four form assquare, or triangle with
one the centre; five form pentagon
with one in the centre; six form a
pentagon with one in the centre, or a
triangle Of two to side. Professor
Mayer had obtainad regular figures
up to a combination of twenty
needles. .

DRIVING PILES IN SAND.

The contractors who had charge of
preparing the sheet piling which Was
to protect the hospital at Berck-sur-
Mer. in France. were much troubled
in driving the piles by the compact
ness Of the wet sand, and finally made
use of tubes which were driven at
the same time with the pile, their
lower ends being a few inches below
the points of the piles; through these
tubes water was forced by small haad
engines, and 50 loosened the sand that
the advance of the pile was easy and
rapid. In the case of the panels of
sheeting piling, the benefit was even
more marked. Careful observations
showed that by the ordinary process
it took, on an average, l85 strokes to
drive the panels. The hammer
weighed l 800 pounds. and had u fall
of six and one half feet. The average
time required to drive a pile and
panel was eight hours and a half.
After the device of loOsening the
sand by the pressure of water was
adopted it was found that the average
time required to accomplish this was
one hour and nine minutes, while to
drive pile and panel more than
fifty blows were never required, and
often the mere weight Of the hammer
mer was enough to sink the pile.

SEA WATER AS 4 BEYER4GE,

The distressing effect of sea water
when swallowed in quantity is known
to every one; the maddening effect of
a continued use Of it as a beverage
by castaways at sea is familiar to all
readers of shipwreck narratives.
Perhaps no more terrible experience
ever falls to the lot of humanity than
to be atiOat on the oceau, with
Water, water, everywhere,
And not a drop to drink
Yetis All experience which every one
is liable to who goes to sea. TO sea-
faring people it is constant menace;
yet it is not impossible to accus tom
the stomach to the use of sea water
habitually and without discomfort.
The capacity of the hnman organize
ton to adapt itself to new conditions,
even to the extent Of becoming indiff.
erent to violent poisons such as
arsenic, has been abtndantly proved;
and accordingly there seems nothing
incredible in the report that the in
habitants of Easter Island and isolated
coral islands such rs the Poumoton
Islands, where rains are infrequent
and springs unknown, are accustomed
to use sea water habitually as a bev.
erage. 1t is scarcely more nauseous
than many saline spring waters that
people learn to relish; no unpleasant
or disturbing results will follow its
habitual or occasional use. In many
parts Of the world the natives drink
freely of brackish waters which
strangers cannot tolerate; and we
have been told Of sailors who have
trained their stOrnachs 10 receive sea
water as kindly as fresh wafer.

The KELLY MOTOR.

The keely motor deception seems
at least to be nearly exploded, and the
secret Of the means by which it's in.
ventor obtained his enormous pres.
sure has been discovered. Mr.. j. y.
knight, Secretary of the Franklin
Institute, Of Philadelphia, was
recently allowed an opportunity to
make partial investigation OF the
machine, but when he asked the
privilege Of testing the gauge which
recorded the pressure, he was refused.
Professor WIN. ID. Marks and George
F. Barker, Of the University Of
Pennsylvania, were afterwards invited
to make thorough study of the motor,
and the results of their study are
given TO the public in letter to the
Philadelphia Ledger of April 8. They
noticed heavy wrought iroK tube
lying in front Of the machine, but not
connected with it. but just before the
experiments it was connected. They
at once suspected that in this tube lay
the secret Of the wonderful force, and
that it contained compressed air
secretly stored in it previous to their
arrival. We give the conclusion TO
their report in their own words:
AT the close Of the experiments,
one Of the writers said to Mr.. Col.
lier that he must consider the ma
chine fraud, unless it could be
demonstrated beyond a doubt that
compressed air was not stored in the
wrought iron tube, and requested
that the cocks in the end should be
unscrewed; this Mr.. Collier positively
refused to do. stating that the tube
Was ''senSatized' I've do not know
what he meant by ssensa.ized'), and
would require three or four hours
work to sreinstate' it il the atmos-
phere was admitted. How puerile
such an excuse was the writers leave
for others tojudge.

wrought iron tube, he admitted thst

As surprises are now fashionable, let
me give you a brief note of one of the
most pleasurable of the season. John
Blackford, of Dixon township, whose
sixty-first birthday occurred on the 21st
of Aug, his friends and neighbors to
the number of sixty, gathered at his
house on the day above named, in a
manner that John was entirely sur
prised. He was in town, and upon his
arrival home he found his home taken
possession of by the large number
above named, and dinner ready under
the shade trees in the yard. After din
ner all gathered in the front yard
where prayer was offered by Rev. G.
A. Lander, and short speeches were
made by Reys. L. p. and j. III. Black
ford and Levi Lisinger. John Black
ford made a few remarks, thanking his
many friends and neighbors for the SC
cial manner of the surprise and their
kind remembrance. The only regret of
the occasion was the condition of Mrs,
as she had been injured by a fall a short
time before, but enduring pain she was
made to rejoice to feel that they were

old age. May the aged of our country
