DIR. ). ROBERT Won MAYER.

The death Of Or. J. Robert Won Mayer AZ Hebron
Is announced IN tho German papers. Dr. Mayer was
q German phys,oian practising in Heibronn, and pur-
suing in unobrusive way hts philosophical studies
which resulted eventually tho PRONUNCIATION OF .
tncory--the dynamicai theory Of healthy which he
securely placed himself amidst the greatest thinkers
OF hts age. II appears that, being engaged proios
sonay ut Java In $780, the circumstance OF bleeding
ievered patient led him 10 notice that the vcnous
blood OF the inha btans OF the tropics was 0f much
brighter red than that OF men iDhabting colder re-
gons. From this fact ne gradually advanced until,
in 1912 he arrived at clear conception OF tho me-
anical cquivaiont OF heat which, in the following
year, was expermentaliy demonstrated by Dr.. Joulc
OF Manchester IN entire Ignorance Of the specuin l0ns
Of Mayer. For period Mayer pursued his philosophy
and published several essays on science. The follow
ing list OF these gwen by Professor TyndaIl:-

merk ungen lbcr das mechanische Equivalent der

the intense appreciation TO which u WINS subjected,
and, for period, Dr. Mayer wse placed 10 an asylum.
Eventually he recovered, but ne docs not appear 10
have resumed bis medical practice or bis philosophical
studies For tho remainder Of his days he devoted his
attention TO the cultivation OF his vineyards The
demonstration that heat and mechanical effect

Mayer belongs the merit OF declaring 'ths law heat =

Mr.. stiles has one Of these engines, an ex-

utilized, and the difficulties heretofore en-.
countered in the practical working of rotary
engines are avoided.
AS to the advantages claimed BY this STYLE
of engines over the reciprocating engines
the inventor makes the following points +:
That for instance in a small reciprocatinr
engine of three to six inches bore OF cylinder
the length is five, six, or eight inches, and
there is certain amount of back action every
time the pistons 90 from one end of the
cylinder to the other a; hence in running the
distance of ten feet there would be 20 back
actions. Now by taking the lowest back
action laid down by the ablcst writers, 3 per
cent. has been lost every 6 inches run, which
in 10 feet run would amount to Just per
cent. OF the whole power. Every time the
piston moves from one end OF the cylinter
TO the other the valve is opened TO let the
steam in and then closed the valve TO let
the steam out is also opened and closed
This requires the moving of these valves
twice each time the piston moves SIX inches,
making or taking power 40 times in 10 feet
There Ia also loss when cutting off steam in

CURE FOR ScRATCHEs.-A correspond
-ent sends to the Western Rural the fol-
lowing simple remedy for scratches,
which, he says, has been thoroughly test
ed and proved highly successful; Wash
the sores thoroughly with warm soft wa
ter and CASTLE soap; then rinse them off
with clear water, after which rub dry
with cloth. Now CRATE up some cay
rots (about pint alter grated) and bind
them on the sores. The best way to bind
it on is to take a cloth and wrap it
around the sores, letting the lower edge
come close down to the hoof; then tie a
cord around this lower end, after which
put the grated carrot into the opening at
the top of the cloth; press it down
around the sores, then tie another cord
around the top of the cloth, a little above
the fetlock. This should be repeated
every day for four or five days, when the
scratches will be cured. Try this, all
who doubt it.
