Street-cleaning Which VIII Pass.

1t is an interesting sight to take seat
on the top of street-csr at an early
hour in the morning and witness the
cleaning process that everything is
undergoing. The housekeepers bring
out all their rubbish and pile it up in
the street, one pile for every four or five
houses. 1t is no sooner emptied than
the rag pickers, who swarm the streets
with their bags and buckets and hand
carts, pounce upon it and gather all the
fragments OF paper, rags or metal to be
found in the piles. They arc no numer-

street, and they move from pile TO pile

activity. They seem to take away one.

On the boulevards, horse.brushing ma
chimes are in molten, and the garbage

Wilmington IN. C.) Star: A Few days
since two or three men were coming down
the river on fiat, and had reached point
about fourteen miles above this city, when
two small, black clouds came nearly to-
gether, with the sun shining through the
open space, constituting focus of the suns
rays OF such strength and power that a
white man who was steering the fat at the
time, and who happened to be in position
to get the full force of the piercing rays, had
his back and arms blistered to a cake, and it
was found necessary to run the fat ashore
with all possible dispatch, when the man in
question crawled into the bushes in shady
place to cool off.
New Orleans Democrats report of a
meeting of the board Of health: DIR. Chop.
pin took the floor to say that the first focus
of infection had occurred within Magazine,
Chippewa, Thala and Felicity streets; the
second between Poydras, Magazine and Julia
streets and the river, which supplied the
charity hospitsl; the third limited one.
between st. Joseph and Girod, back to
Franklin street; a fourth between IRENE or
Franklin, Cont, Gravier and Galvez streets.
There was also a small focus at Josephine
and Coliseum streets, which seemed to be
travelling upward. and another small one on
Customhouse street, between Royal and
Bourbon streets. The new cases arose out
side of the large focuses--a fact which gave
him hope that the fever might be stopped.
Still, the germ was an active one, but he
proposed to fight 1t until he overpowered
it or IL overpowered him, and the disease
shall have become epidemic.

Lemonade.

1t is affirmed by a learned historian
that in the year 1912 lemonade was
served at a Sunday school picnic in
South Lee, Mass, in which a distinct
trace of lemon was detected by an
eminent chemist, at that time professor
OF chemistry in Williams college, who
happened to be present. The event
naturally created great excitement.
Many persons denied the whole story
from beginning to end, while Others,
among whom were nearly all the
chemists in the state, insisted that the
professors analyses were worthless and
be knew nothing of the first principles
OF chemistry. There is no doubt, how
ever, that the story is true. Never
before, or since, has lemon been found
in Sunday school lemonade, but.
probably in accordance with some obscure
freak of nature, the South Lee
lemonade was contaminated either with
crude lemon peel or citric acid, precisely
which the historian has not informed us.
The Sunday school lemonade OF COM
merce is harmless fluid, since i. con.
sists entirely of water mingled with q
small quantity of sugar. 1t may be
drank in large quantities by the weakest
children and tine most delicate teachers
without any serious disturbance of their
interiors. tits reported that in moments
of enthusiasm President Hayes IL &C.
customed to drink freely 0f this re-
spectacle beverage, retaining the clear.
ness Of his intellect unimpsired, even by
the deepest potations. In fact, 1t is
believed that Sunday school lemonade Is
less exhilarsting than weak tea, and
there are thousands OF teachers who have
drank it Two or three times . year for
twenty successive yearv, without show.
ing any visible marks OF its action.
1t is unnecessary to say that profane
persons scof at Sunday-school lemonade,
and find Iault with 1t because 1t hss no
strength. What would such persons
have? Do they wish that children and
teachers should wallow in beer or cider,
or will they pretend that champagne
and the other varieties Of rum denounced

Remarkable Echoes.

In the sepulchreof MttalIa, the wife of
Sulla, in the Roman Csmpagna, there is
all echo which repeats five times, in FIVE
different keys, and will also give back
with distinctnes hexameter line which
requires two and a half seconds to utter
it. On the bank of the Naha. between
Bingen and Coblentz, an echo repeats
seventeen times. The speaker may
scarcely be heard, and yet the responses
are loud and distinct, sometimes appear.
ing to approach, at other times to come
from greater distance. Echoes equally
beautiful and romantic are to be heard
in Scotland In the cemetery of the
Abercorn family, at Paisley, when the
door of the chapel is shut, the reverber-
ations are equal to thunder. If single
note of music is breathed, the tone
ascends gradually with multitude of
echoes, till it dies in soft and bewitchins
murmurs. In this chapel is inferred
Msrgery, the daughter Of Bruce, and the
wife OF William Wallace. The echo at
the Eagles Nest" on the banks OF
Killarney, is renowned for its effective
repetition of hugle call, which seems
to be repeated by hundred instruments
until it gradually dies away in the air.
At the report of cannon the loudest
thunder reverberstes from the rock, and
dies in seemingly endless peals along the
distant mountains. At the castle of
Simonetta, nobleman's seat about two
miles from Milan, surprising echo is
produced between the two wings of the
building The report OF pistol is re-
peated sixty times and Addison, who
visited the place on a somewhat foggy
day, when the air was unfsvorable 10 the
experiment, counted ffty-six repetitions.
At first they were very quick, but the
intervals were greater in proportion as
the the sound decayed. 1t is asserted
that the sound OF one musical instru-
ment in this place resembles a great
number of musical instruments playing
in concert. The echo is occasioned by
the existence of two parallel walls OF
considerable length. between which the
wave of sound is reverberated from one
to the other until it is entirely spent.
The Osceola times., 1878-08-17

In lecture recently delivered by DR..
Siemens en- the utilization of heat and
other natural forces, some very suggestive
facts were stated. He showed, among
other things, how heat can be made to do
greater amount Of work than ever by
means of electricity. One hundred
horsepower of steam or water NAV be
used, for instance, at a central or conve-
uient place to drive dynsmo.e.ectric ma
chimes. The current there produced
could, by pipes, be conducted to halls or
factories and then converted into light
or mechanical power. If light were
required, the equivalent TO 1885,
009 candles would be given at
an expenditure OF three and three.fourths
hundred weights of coal instead
Of three and three>ieurths tons. The
amount of force which is lost to mar
from not utilizing the Falls of Niagara
is enormous. Every hour 100000, 900
tons of water descend there height of
$50 feet is equal to 16, 100000 horse
power. To pump that water back, es>
timating the consumption Of coal at four
pounds per horse power per hour, would
require $1,000, 900 tons of coal year,
or a quantity equal to the total coal
consumption of the world. Evidently
the best means of employing the availa-
BILE forces for work have not yet been
put into use, and the neglect Of wind,
water, and tide power is surprising when
the whole subject is considered.
