TUE HOTTEST SPoT on EARTH-One
of the hottest regions of the earth is along
the Persian Gulf, where little or no rain
falls. At Bahrin the arid shore has no
fresh water, yet comparatively numerous
population eontrive to live there, thanks
to the copious springs which burst forth
from the bottom of the sea. The fresh
water Is got by diving. The diver, sitting
in his boat, winds a great gOat-skin bag
around his left arm, the hand graspiug its
mouth; then he takes in his right hand a
heavy stone, to which S attached line,
and thus equipped he plunges in and
qaickE reaches the bottom. Instantly
opening the bag over the strong jet of
fresh water, he springs up the ascending
current, at the same time closing the bag,
and is helped aboard The stone is then
drawn up, and the diver, after taking
breath, plunges in again. The source Of
these copious submarine springs Is thought
to be in the green hills Of 0sman, some
Eve or six hundred miles distant

fully and graphically describes the Turkish
capital:
You may judge from looking at the map
what a singular city this (Consiantinople) )
must be, with the sea running through it
In all directions-not merely in canals,
like those of Venice or Rotterdam, but
forming great, broad inlets, whose water
IS intensely bright and clear as we'll as
deep to the very edge 1t is as if you
had city built on both sides of the Kyles
OF Butte, at the point where one of the
long sea locks Clock Ridden or Lock
Striven) comes down in the main channel.
Stockholm and New York are the only
other great cities that can be compared
with it in this respect; but Stockholm.
though beautiful in its way, is on a COM
paratively small scale, while in New York
man has done his utmost to spoil nature.
and nature has done infinitely less than at
Constantinople. Let me try to tell YOU
what nature has done for Constantinople.
She has given it the bluest and elearest
sea that can be imagined, and yaulted
over In the most exquisitely bright vet
tender sky, fall of delicious light that
would be dazzling if it were not SO soft.
She has drawn the contour of the shores
and hills as if with an artists hand the
sweeping reaches of the Bosphorus, the
graceful curve of the Golden horn. the
soft slope of the olive-clad heights, behind
Scutari, the sharp, bold outline of the
rocky isles that rise from the sea of Mar
mora, and far away on the southeastern
horizon she has raised into heaven the
noble summit of the Mysian Olympus,
whose SHOWS blush rose red under the
morning sun. The sea seems to pervade
everything. Turn which way YOU will it
meets you till you get confused among its
winding arms Its glittering bosom is
covered with vessels of every size and
style, from the long, dark, ugly ironclads,
which the late Sultan bought from the
Clyde and Tyne shipbuilders with bor-
rowed money, to the sprightly feluccas
and other odd little crafts, rugged in
fashion our language has no names for.
During the day its surface is seldom calm,
for there is usually breeze blowing, and
when this breeze comes up from the south
west and meets the strong current run
ming down from the Black Sea, it raises
in a moment short, sharp waves, kind of
ehopping sea, that make the small boats
vanish. The nights, however, are often
still and serene, and then under the bril-
liant moon the city seems to lie engirt by
a food of molten silver.

Professor Tyndall's last word on spon-
taneOus generation ought to be conclusive
for the people who have ranked him as a
materialist, without very profoundly in
quiring into the absolute meaning of the
word. His experiments with fifty-four
TASKS, containing iniusions ofsundry meats,
fish and vegetables, which had been care
fully prepared by frequently repeated
boilingS, to kill whatever germs of life
might be at different stages of develop
ment in the infusiOns, and afterwards
Theoretically sealed, carried to the region
of the Alps and then subjected to atmos-
pheric tests, permit him to set down his
affirmation shat no shred Of truSsCoTtky
experimental testimony exists TO proUe that
life, an orr dag, has erer appeared indie
pSadsutLy Of dnteceieat life" The nm
broken tasks, although carried to SWitzer-
land in warm July weather, were found
transparent and void of life. Half of
them we're opened in the floating dust Of
haymow, the other half exposed to the
absolutely pure atmosphere Of an upper
Alp, where no notes OF dust could prevail
against them, and where no sign of life
for the period of conducting the expert
ment made its appearance in the sterile
infusions The whole experiment has
been previously stated, inclading the rapid
swarming of the TASKS opened amid the
dust of the hay, but Professor TyndalI
restates it IN giving his last word in reply
10 pr. Bastian, whose position on sPOnta-
neous generation is also eOntTadicted by
simple and hOmelier witness still.

amount to nearly the total production,
and therefore little addition to the
bulk of gold in the treasures Of all
nations can be expected. 1t is true
that new mines may be found. IL is
not to be supposed that there are no
undiscovered regions rich with aurif-
erous deposits. But against this are
the uncertainties of discovery, with an
almost certain decrease Of the present
production. That there has been a
large increase of the stock on hand
during the past quarter of a century
cannot be denied, but this has been
due principally 20 the very remarkable
discoveries in the United States, which
in a fewyears doubled the store. Thir-
ty years ago the entire stock of gold
coin was only little morethan 5000
000,0 900. Now it is 400, 500,00O,000 but
the increase was made during a few
years, and the past decade has added
little to the stock,
Pertinet to this statement is the
vast increase ofpopulation and bust
ness of those countries which use gold
as a standard. The proportion of gold
in store at this time is much smaller
in proportion to the wealth of the
country than it was a quarter Of a
century ago, and the ratio is steadily
decreasing. A greater quantity of the
metal is used in the domain of art
than formerly. It's employment as
money is being extended to new fields
in company with expanded trade, and
underlying the whole question is the
self evident fact hat production itself
is subject to the chances of discovery.
1t is, therefore, plainly apparent that
gold alone does not and will not be adj
equate to supply the demand for pre-
cious metal as money, and unless some
new financial system shall be dis
covered which is still unknown to any
enlightened philosopher of national
economy, by which money Of intrinsic
worth may be dispensed with sltogeth.
er, the employment Ofsome other met
al as an assistant to gold seems impera'
tive.

BOUCICAULT AND WIFE.
Their COniugaI and Business Relations
from the Wlfe's Point Of View.

London Cor. Chicago Tribune.
Some months ago the London stage
was astonished by the appearance of
Mrs. Agnes Boucicault, wife of Dion
B~oucicault. OF course. the event
agitated gossip. Rumor had two rea-
sons for the advent. Some said it was
but the exemplifcation Of the truth,
"once an actress, always an actress,
while those better posted ascribed her
%re-entry to the profession as an abso-
lutte necessity. Since then people in
terested in dramatic matters have seen
many announcements in American
newspapers of a contemplated engage
ment in New York, and as many con-
Predictions of the same. Speculation
may be set at rest. She will sail for
the States about the latter part Of
November, and in all probability will
play at the Grand Opera House, New
York. 1r
From pretty reliable authority ] I'M
derstand that her visit will not be
confined to things theatric; but, upon
her arrival, the curtain will be rung
up upon another act in her domestic
drama of Dionysius, in which lawyers,
and parchments, and affidavits will
/, conspicuously figure. Most people
who read already know something Of
the difficulties between the author Of
" The Shaughraun and his wife. The
information, however, has been of a
very f~ragmentary character. About a

agreement of separation, Dion agree

ny, the sum of six hundred pounds.
